AN: Thank you to all who have reviewed chapter four. We love reviews!
I found the reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
And the reason is you
The Reason: Hoobastank
Hank nervously waited for Sara to get off work. He needed to talk to her about something and he wasn't sure how she would respond. The past ten months had been the best of his life.
He began to pace their apartment and compulsively checking the time. He was about to check the window again when the phone rang, he quickly grabbed it.
"Hello"
"Hey Hank, its Nick, just wanted to make sure Sara got home okay"
"She's not home yet. Is something wrong?"
"I'm not sure. She didn't look like she was feeling well, kind of pale. I think she threw up a couple of times. Grissom tried to send her home, but you know Sara"
Hank laughed, "Yeah". Hank heard her car pull up, "Nick she just got home, thanks for calling"
"You're welcome. See you tomorrow for basketball"
"Yeah. You're going down Stokes" Hank said laughing
Nick laughed, "Don't count on it Peddigrew. Tell Sara I hope she feels better"
"Okay, bye" Hank said and hung up the phone just as Sara came inside.
"Hey, who were you talking to?" Sara asked
"Nick called; he thinks he's going to beat me tomorrow"
Sara laughed and sat down on the couch.
"Nick also mentioned that you weren't feeling well"
"I'm feeling better" Sara replied
"You sure?"
"Yeah, positive"
"Good, cause we need to talk"
"Oh god, nothing good comes from the phrase 'we need to talk'" Sara said
Hank laughed, "This isn't bad"
He sits down next to her on the couch.
"After what happened between you, me and Elaine I was so lost. I wasn't sure who I was anymore. That year was really hard for me to find out who I was and when I saw you last June I was actually at rock bottom. But you came back into my life and I was given a second chance. You brought meaning back into my life."
"Hank, I…."
"No let me finish" He reached into his pocket and pulled something out, "Sara I love you and I can't imagine my life without you. When I dream of my future I see you in it. I see you as the mother of my children. I want to spend the rest of my life with you. Will you marry me?"
Sara, through her tears, whispers "yes". Hank kisses her and slides the engagement ring on her finger.
"I thought you were going to break up with me" Sara said
"Never. I love you"
"I love you too"
Hank notices that Sara's face goes pale.
"Sar, are you sure your okay?"
She leans back into the couch. "I'm not sure. I've been worn down lately, really tired. I haven't been able to keep much down."
"Are you going to go to the doctor?" Hank asked
"No, I think I might know what's wrong" Sara answered giving him a look. Hank understands and gives her a nod.
"I guess I'm making a trip up to Walgreen's"
Sara smiled, "Thanks sweetie"
"I want you to go lay down though okay"
"Okay"
"I'll be back soon" Hank said as he headed towards the door.
Hank returned home twenty minutes later and found Sara in their bedroom watching America's Next Top Model on VH1.
"Hey sweetie" Hank said as he entered the room.
Sara looked over and saw Hank was holding a Walgreen's bag with more than one item in it.
"Geez, one would have sufficed"
"Yeah, but they're not one hundred percent accurate and we need to be sure"
"How many did you buy?"
"Three"
Sara rolled her eyes and laughed, grabbing the bag from Hank.
"I guess it's a good thing I had to pee then"
Sara entered the bathroom, emerging a few minutes later. "Okay, we have like two minutes" Sara said plopping back down on the bed.
Hank sat down next to her. "How do you feel about this?"
"Honestly"
Hank nods
"It really scares me"
"Well, I'm scared too but we are in this together and you are nothing like your mother"
"I hope you're right"
"I know I'm right. Sar, you're going to be an amazing mother"
"You're so sure those tests are going to come up positive" Sara said with a hint of humor in her voice
Hank smiled, "I am a paramedic"
"Well, Mr. Paramedic why don't you go in and get those results"
Hank nodded, got up from the bed and went to the bathroom. He returned with the tests in his hands.
"Well?" Sara asked
Hank handed her the tests and smiled, "You're going to be a mommy"
Sara took the tests, looked up at Hank and returned a smile, "and you're going to be a daddy"
AN: We know, we know, sappy. LOL. But we hope you enjoyed the chapter. Again, sorry it is kind of short. But I can tell you that we have finished this story and a few of the later chapters are quite long.
