-1Home Sweet Home
Two days later, Greg got to go home. As everyone gathered in the SUV, Sara got Greg in the passenger seat while she would drive.
"I'm glad you get to go home now," Nick piped up from the back.
"Yeah, but you're not off the hook for knocking me in the pool," Greg said with a laugh. Nick laughed as well.
"Warrick, what are you singing?" Catherine asked when she heard Warrick humming an unfamiliar tune. Before he could answer, Greg shouted out the name of the song.
"Ooohh! Crystal Ball!" he exclaimed, earning some laughs and a confused look from Catherine. He turned around slightly in his seat so he could face Warrick. "When did you start listening to STYX?" he asked.
"After I saw that poster in your room," Warrick said. "I got an album and I really liked it. Your taste in music isn't so crazy after all."
"Why thank you, Warrick," Greg said, happily. He looked back to Nick. "He's off the hook, what do you got?"
"What!" Nick whined from the back. "I know some songs."
"Name three," Warrick joked.
"Well, uhh…"
"I thought so," Greg grinned. He turned back around for the remainder of the ride home. He reached for Sara's free hand and held it while she drove with the other. He listened to the various conversations in the back. Warrick and Nick were back and forth about songs. Grissom was trying to read and at the same time listen to Catherine, who was muttering something about buying an album. Greg smiled as they pulled into his driveway.
Once everyone was in the house, Greg made himself comfortable on the couch. After getting everybody some drinks, Sara stood in the center of the room.
"I have an announcement," she said excitedly. She smiled as everyone turned to listen. "I wanted to tell everyone when we were all together and Greg was better."
"What is it?" a defeated looking Nick asked from his chair.
"Well, you know how Greg was stuck at my house during the storm, and we spent time together? Well," she turned to Greg and took his hands in hers. "Greg?"
"Yes?"
"I'm having a baby," she said excitedly. She laughed when Greg's mouth almost hit the floor.
"Oh my god!" he exclaimed. He got a few laughs as he tried to scramble off the couch. He wrapped his arms tightly around Sara and hugged her close. "I'm so happy! I'm gonna be a daddy! This is the best news ever!"
"Well, congrats, you two," Catherine said, joyfully.
"Well, Greg, aren't you forgetting something?" Nick asked? He smiled when Greg grinned like an idiot.
"No, I haven't," Greg relied. He looked at Sara. "Hold on for a sec." He scrambled out of the room, closely followed by Nick.
"What are those two up to?" Warrick wondered. He looked at Nick suspiciously as the two men entered the room again.
"Sara, I was gonna wait, but this is as good a time as any," Greg said. He got down on one knee in front of Sara.
"Greg?" Sara asked, surprised beyond belief.
"Sara Sidle, will you marry me?" Greg asked. He pulled out a box and opened it, showing the most beautiful diamond ring she had ever seen.
"Oh my god, Greg! Yes!" She put the ring on her finger as Greg got back up, then she hugged him tightly.
"How did you get that!" Warrick stated, shocked. Nick laughed at his expression.
"I had Nick pick it up for me," Greg said over Sara's shoulder.
"So I'm off the hook now too, haha!" Nick said, sticking his tongue out at Warrick.
"Hmm," Warrick smiled slightly, shaking his head.
A little later after everyone had congratulated the two on their news and left, Greg pulled Sara into a close embrace. "This is what I always wanted," Greg said as he kissed Sara.
"Me too, she said, hugging him tightly. She yawned and Greg smiled.
"I think it's sleepy time," Greg joked, making Sara laugh a little. She nodded and followed him into the bedroom.
"What are we doing about that?" Greg asked, pointing at the bed. "You think we need a bigger one?"
Sara kissed him passionately, then looked into his eyes. "Nah!" she laughed. They settled into the bed and huddled close to each other. Smiling, and wrapped in Greg's arms, Sara was soon fast asleep. Greg looked down at her sleeping form and kissed her forehead lightly. With a smile on his face, he fell asleep too, dreaming of Sara.

All done! If ya'll were wondering, here's the lyrics to "Crystal Ball" from STYX. Thanks for reading!
I
used to like to walk the straight and narrow line
I used to think
that everything was fine
Sometimes I'd like to sit and gaze for
days through sleepless dreams
All alone and trapped in time
All
alone and trapped in time
I wonder what tomorrow has in mind
for me
Or am I even in it's mind at all
Perhaps I'll get a
chance to look ahead and see
Soon as I find myself a crystal
ball
Soon as I find myself a crystal ball
Tell me, tell me
where I'm going
I don't know where I've been
Tell me, tell me,
won't you tell me
And then tell me again
My heart is breaking,
my body's aching
And I don't know where to go
Tell me, tell me,
won't you tell me
I've just got to know
Crystal
ball
There's so many things I need to know
Crystal ball
There's
so many things I've got to know
Crystal ball
