Sara Sidle looked at the new baby. Ryan Stokes, a beautiful name for her and Nick's first child. He'll grow up so fast, Sara sighed to herself. She fed Ryan before handing him over to Nick.

Sara stretched her tired muscles before hitting the save on the computer screen. The Sims 2 was extremely addictive and for the past week, Sara had found herself rushing home after work just to play. She recently had created the Stokes family, consisting of her, Nick and now, baby Ryan.

"Hey, Sara," Nick said when Sara entered the break room.

"Hi," Sara replied as she filled a cup with coffee. She smiled to herself as she thought of what it would be like to be Mrs. Stokes in real life, just not on a computer game. Her daydream was interrupted when Grissom walked in.

"Nick, Sara, db found near Lake Mead," Nick snatched the paper out of Grissom's hand.

"Let's go, Sar," Nick smiled at her, "I'm driving."

Sara through all of her things down her front door before turning on her computer. While her game was loading, she grabbed a bottle of water. She smiled as her game resumed with Nick holding Ryan. She commanded him to play with the baby while she made dinner. When dinner was ready, Nick put Ryan in his crib and came downstairs to have dinner with Sara. After eating, Sara took a shower and Nick crawled into bed. Sara joined him after tucking in Ryan. The game sped up until Ryan awoke.

Since Nick was the one with a job, Sara let him sleep, and took Ryan downstairs to be fed. Afterwards, she cuddled with him, changed his dipper and put him back in his crib. She then crawled into bed, next to Nick. The game sped up once more and she slowed it down to normal speed so she could plan out the next few days of her sims' lives before they woke up. She entertained the idea of having another child. Why not, Sara said to herself.

4 Sim Days Later

Bethany Stokes, the newest addition the Stokes clan woke a sleeping Nick. Sara sent him back to bed, and took Bethany downstairs to changer her dipper. On the way to the fridge, she passed Ryan, playing with a teddy bear. Sara's attention was taken from the computer game when the doorbell started ringing. She opened the door to Nick's smiling face.

"Hey Sara, I hope I'm not interrupting, but I think my wallet fell out in you car," he said as Sara motioned for him to come inside.

"You're not interrupting Nick," she replied, "Have a seat and I'll go check for you." Sara grabbed her keys and headed for her Denali. She poked around until she found the black wallet under the passenger seat. "Found it," she said as she entered her apartment. She stopped short when she saw that Nick was staring at the computer screen.
