Chapter 32- Kick

It had been a few days over 5 months since the day Nick and Alyssa found out they were going to have a baby. The pair had decided to keep the news between them, but as the days crept on the young brunette was having more and more trouble fitting her once thin frame into her pants. She was showing and not happy about it.

3 hours into shift Nick found Alyssa sitting at the break room table with a tub of Peanut butter and Oreo cookies. Wearing a pair of loose black pants and an un-tucked large blouse, hiding the evidence of a baby on its way.

He approached her cautiously.

"Where'd you get those?" He asked slowly taking a seat next to her.

She turned her head and looked at Nick as she pulled a dark cookie from the bag. "Greg."

"The peanut butter too?"

She nodded and looked into the peanut butter tub.

"You're not gonna dip that are you." The look of disgust flashed across his face,

She looked him in the eye, dipped the cookie slowly and took a bite.

"That's disgusting Lys…" he wrinkled his nose.

He hated Peanut butter.

"I know, but I was craving it and…." Alyssa trailed off and double dipped her cookie.

"How'd you get Greg to get those for you?"

"Threatened him…" She mumbled with her mouth full.

The pair heard voices and foot steps coming down the hall way and Nick looked at Alyssa and attempted to grab the peanut butter.

But she was faster.

"No. Don't you dare, I'll rip your balls off." She threatened as she hugged the container.

Nick pushed his chair back as everyone walked in and took their seats.

"Alright, glad to see you got my Message Alyssa." Grissom nodded his approval.

"Y-yea," What message?

She pulled out her phone and looked in her text inbox. Oh… that message.

Quickly, Grissom handed out the beige folder. "Remember this guy? I know you do Miss. Crane…"

Alyssa shot her boss a questioning glance as she opened the folder. Her heart stopped. "Oh no…"

"Oh yes… he struck again." Grissom gave a tired sigh.

"Where's the scene?" Alyssa asked looking around the table suddenly she wasn't so hungry.

"Catherine and Sara processed it last night." Warrick said as Alyssa's head snapped up.

"DNA and came back unidentified but matched the DNA found on the pervious Victims. Same COD, Same MO…." Sara trailed off as Alyssa nodded, dumbfounded.

"I want everyone back on this case. It's a slow night so familiarize your selves. It's been five months." Grissom said handing out a new set of folders to everyone.

"These folder contain a copy of Sara and Catherine's findings, photos everything." He said pulling his glasses from his face.

"Miss Crane, I want you overlooking things, make sure everyone knows all the information from both crime scenes and I want you up close and personal with theirs." He instructed her.

"Griss, I have to attend and autopsy in 10 minutes." She said confused.

"Attend it, take notes, and pass it off."

"Griss, I can't pass it off, it's a homicide, infant… remember."

"Last I recall you enough evidence for a conviction." Grissom folded his arms in front of him.

"Maybe, if the DNA comes back as the parents."

"I'm not negotiating this with you. Go do your autopsy and pass it off." His tone was cold.

"I think my victim deserves the right-"

"Lys, let it go. Wait till you get you DNA back." Nick interjected and grabbed her arm.

"Don't, touch me." She warned him and stood up. "Fine I'll pass it off." She gave a heavy sigh.

Suddenly she shut her eyes tight wincing in pain. The pain shot though her abdomen and felt though some had kicked her. One hand was on the table for support, the other on her stomach.

"Lys," Nick shot up and reached for her arm. "Everything-"

"Yea, yea," she pushed his hand away as she smiled standing straight. "Just a little… winded." She said as she turned.

All eyes were on her.

"I'll be in autopsy of needed." She turned, hiding her smile as she walked out.

"Yea that wasn't the flu." Catherine whispered to Sara.

"Yea, definitely not."
