"What's that?" he asked, as the sound got closer. The view Greg saw was not what he was expecting. First a hand appeared on window seal grabbing it then came the body of Sara Sidle wheeling herself along the corridor on a computer chair.
"Hi" smiled Cath looking very confused.
"My feet hurt and this involved less effort than walking," explained Sara having difficulty steering herself into the room.
"Really because that looks like a lot of effort" smiled Greg getting up and grabbing the back of the chair wheeling a protesting Sara in.
"I can do it myself"
"Yes but that was taking to long" smiled Greg sitting down and avoiding been kicked.
"Come on then give me something to do or did you just page me to see me waddle?" asked Sara frustrated.
"Hair, blood and some weird substance" said Greg holding the bags out. "How long before you go on maternity leave?"
"Two weeks" replied Sara pushing herself of from the table. "And I know you all can't wait" she added grabbing the doorframe and pulling herself through.
"Are all pregnant women this hormonal?" asked Greg looking at Catherine.
"When I was about six months with Lindsey I locked myself in the bathroom for five hours because I couldn't put a shelf up"
"You couldn't put a shelf up?" questioned Greg
"I was huge, hormonal and easily upset it took two tubs of ice cream and a chicken to get me out"
"A chicken?"
"Cravings, haven't you seen the amount of carrots with hot source Sara eats I mean what normal person would eat that?" smiled Cath as Greg made a disgusted face at her.
Sara was stood in the lab staring at the photocopier holding a footprint Warrick had given her.
"Come on print, make a noise," shouted Sara causing both Hodges and Archie to look up.
"Why he hell aren't you working," shouted Sara waving her arms at the copier. Both Archie and Hodges looked at each other not sure whether to get involved.
Sara began pressing madly at buttons until she suddenly burst into tears surprising both Archie and Hodges who were waiting for her to start kicking the machine.
"Um Sara you ok?" asked Archie venturing forwards.
"It wont work," sobbed Sara been lead over to a chair. "I can't even get the stupid thing to work I'm useless" she said rubbing at her eye's with her sleeve.
"Your not useless that things been playing up we'll get someone in to fix it" said Archie trying to cheer her up looking across to Hodges who just shrugged his shoulders.
"It will be fine why don't you help Hodges," suggested Archie
"I'm not a invalid you don't' need to treat me like one" shouted Sara taking a sudden turn in direction "I don't' need to be watched I can cope by myself"
"You call crying over the copier coping"? Asked Hodges regretting it straight away.
"Hodges I am tried, hormonal and bigger than you do you really want to go there?" warned Sara glaring at him.
"Not really" replied Hodges getting up and making a break for it.
Sara frustrated, grabbed the photo Hodges had been looking at and tried to pull her chair to the table but her belly stopped her from getting close enough
"Damn" Sara shot up with surprising speed kicking the chair over in anger.
"I can even sit a stupid table," shouted Sara angry with Hodges, the chair and mostly herself because she could feel tears welling up again. She had not been able to control her emotions and found herself getting upset at the slightest thing.
"I'm useless," sobbed Sara waddling at high sped form the room leaving a confused and slightly scared Archie.
"Hey have you seen Sara?" asked Archie walking into the layout room where Cath can Greg were
"Not since earlier why?" asked Greg
"I think she's upset that or really angry. She cried at the photocopier shouted at Hodges then broke a chair and disappeared crying again," explained Archie
"Wow and I thought the shelf thing was weird," said Greg looking across at Cath
"Twins exaggerated pregnancy symptoms" said Cath sighing as Sara walked in her face red with tears running down her cheeks.
"I can't do anything," she said staring at Cath who was slightly surprised at her appearance. "I can't sit around at home and I can't work"
"Um you can work you just need to alter you approach"
"I can't even sit at a table," said Sara as Greg tired to comfort her by patting her back.
"It was just a bad day" smiled Cath pulling Sara into a hug not used to seeing the younger woman so emotional.
"This is a bit to girly for me I'm going to find Warrick and Nick and do something manly" said Greg exiting the room before Sara's mood changed and he was on the receiving end of one of her rants.
"Everyone's scared of me," said Sara wiping her eyes.
"They were scared of you before you were pregnant they just show it more now" smiled Cath getting a small grin out of Sara "you need to use it to your advantage. You find people can be very helpful if they think your going to cry or shout" smiled Cath with an evil grin.
"Come on we'll have some fun" she smiled leading Sara into the break room where Nick and Warrick were on the playstation with Greg commentating.
"Hey you ok?" a ked Nick looking up.
"Yer I'm hungry though" smiled Sara sitting down.
"What you want," asked Nick giving his handset to Greg and getting up
"I really fancy some ice cream" smiled Sara
Nick looked in the freezer but couldn't find any
"All out" he said looking up at Sara
"Go for it I like chocolate" whispered Cath elbowing Sara.
"Ok" said Sara sounding disappointed pouting her bottom lip slightly.
"I could go get some," said Nick as Warrick eyeballed him.
"Yer we'll go to the shop on the corner" said Warrick stopping the game and getting up.
"Really, I like chocolate" smiled Sara "thanks" she shouted as all the men left he room
"Your right this could be fun" smiled Sara as Grissom entered the room.
"Where are they going"?
"To get Sara and me some ice cream" smiled Cath "there were scared Sara would shout at them or cry," she added.
"Oh" replied Grissom looking slightly confused.
"They can't handle my moods as well as you" smiled Sara as Grissom picked up a drink kissed her and left.
"He handles your moods"
"Yesterday he locked himself in the bathroom while I shouted at the microwave for twenty minutes" laughed Sara
