Sara was now sat with her arm in a cast. She'd been giving an appointment for a scan in four weeks time and been told to rest for the next couple of days.
"So your ready to go" asked Nick coming back in from where he had gone to get Sara a drink.
"Yes"-replied Sara almost jumping up.
"Hey take it easy remember" warned Nick.
"This is going to take some getting used too" said Sara rubbing her hand over her flat stomach.
"Well we've got nine months"
"When you say it like that it seems ages" smiled Sara as Nick took her hand and they began walking down the corridor.
"This is weird I mean I few hours ago my biggest worry was would you get upset if I left wet towels on the floor. Now I'm wondering what colour I should paint the nursery," said Nick as they reached the car park.
"Your actually quite traditional aren't you, quite the homemaker" smiled Sara
"I grew up in a traditional environment" said Nick smiling as he got in the car after helping Sara.
"What do you think they'll say about this?"
"Well after they get over the shock, considering they didn't really know about you I think they'll be happy"
"They don't know about me?" asked Sara
"Well I've told them about you but they don't know we've moved in to my parents that would require them to interrogate you and start questioning me about when I was going to propose"
A sudden silence fell over the car as Nick pulled off.
"I guess you thought you'd be married before you became a dad," said Sara breaking the silence but not making eye contact.
"I thought I'd marry my girlfriend form high school, things change," replied Nick
"I know but, that's something you'd want isn't t? The whole family thing" said Sara.
The silence once again fell over the car.
"Could you see yourself marrying me?" asked Sara uneasily
"Yes" replied Nick with no hesitation.
Sara knew that Nick was a traditional person at heart and she could se him been the type of person to get down on one knee in the traditional way.
"Do you want too?" asked Sara suddenly causing Nick to almost run into the back of a car.
"What?" asked Nick stuttering a bit and pulling into a car park.
"Get married, a aliens already offered," said Sara trying to cover up the fact she was terrified with humour.
"Sara you don't have to do anything for me. I know your feelings on marriage"
"I know yours," replied Sara "and I'd do anything to make you happy" she added sheepishly.
"Sara your having my baby I'm planning on spending the rest of my life with you, I don't' need to get married to do that"
"But you want to, Nick don't' say you don't. I don't' want you to lie to me"
"Sara" Nick took her hand and forced her to look at him in the eyes. "Sara standing up in fort of everyone and saying a lot of vows isn't' you I know that, I knew that when we first started dating. Yes I always thought I'd get married just because I don't' wont make me unhappy or wish I'd down something different"
"I never said I didn't want to get married"
"You said you were anti stupid," remarked Nick getting a smile out of Sara
"I may have been having a bad day. I mean declaring that you're going to love only one person and spend the rest of your life with. I'm beginning to understand why that might be attractive" she gave Nick that full on smile that made him want to melt "ok so standing in a room full of people saying them not really my favourite thing"
"How about a compromise" said Nick suddenly "after all this is Vegas you can get hitched in seconds, hey you can even drive though"
"Nick be serious"
"I am, that way I'm married and you don't have to stand up in front of everyone doing something you don't believe in. we make the vows to each other And only each other."
"Nick you seriously want to get married," asked Sara staring at him in complete confusion "I thought I was the hormonal one" she sat staring at his smile "I'm not having Elvis do it" said Sara as Nick almost threw himself on her kissing her. "And not today, I think I've had enough excitement"
"It will be romantic one day well get up and do it elope together" smiled Nick
"Your mad"
"It's my hormones" smiled Nick setting of again and receiving a slap on the arm from Sara.
"Can we stop by a shop I'm hungry"
"Cravings kicking I already because I'm not going out at two in the morning to get ice cream" remarked Nick
"I've hardly had anything to eat and something tells me I'm not going to be able to sleep tonight" smiled Sara
Ten minutes later and Nick and Sara were stood in a supermarket waiting for Sara to choose what biscuits she wanted.
"Sara look at this" the isle behind him full off baby bits had distracted Nick. He was now stood brandishing a hat at Sara "it's so tiny I can't believe this would fit over someone's head"
"Well not yours" smiled Sara as Nick began to try and shove the tiny hat one Sara's head making her laugh
"Oh look we've got to get some of these," said Nick picking up a set of baby monitors.
"You're getting ahead of yourself"
"We can use them, come in Sara we have a 367 I repeat we have a 367" said Nick pretending to use one
"What's a 367?" asked Sara
"A dirty dipper" replied Nick
"Come in Nick come in Nick, you can change you own child's dipper" replied Sara with her grin when a familiar voice interrupted them.
"Something you two want to tell us?" asked Greg who was stood between Warrick and Grissom.
"Um, that could tae a while" stammered Sara as Catherine came form down an isle carrying a microwave meal.
"Oh hey….oh" stopped Cath
"We'll we were just getting some food so we've got a while" said Warrick smiling at Nick
"I think we've been cornered," said Nick suddenly realising he was still holding baby monitors"
"Come back to mine, I have microwave Chinese" smiled Cath holding the box up and almost dragging Sara along the isle.
"So are you going to tell us?" asked Greg as he and Warrick walked nick down making sure he couldn't escape.
"I think you'll want to be sitting down it's a long story" smiled Nick catching up with Sara and taking her hand.
