Sorry for the late update. I went to my grandma's. Damn it was so boring! Anyways here's chapter 8.
Chapter 8
The next day Sara arrived at the lab just minutes before the shift started. She was up thinking about the decision she was going to make. She also was a little dizzy because of the morning sickness.
"Hey Sara," said Greg as he walked into the locker room.
"Hey," said Sara taking her stuff out of her locker.
"You're a little late today," said Greg.
"Yeah, I was up… thinking, and I'm a little woozy by those damn morning sickness."
"You okay?" asked Greg concerned.
"Yeah."
Greg did not want to look eager to find out Sara's decision since his little confession but he could not help it. Luckily, Sara was assigned to help out swing shift while Greg had a 419 with Grissom. The downside was she had to work with Nick.
Everybody as in Catherine, Warrick and Nick were having coffee except for Sara. She was drinking tea instead. Nick was not the only one that noticed this. Catherine was eyeing Sara suspiciously. She has gained a little weight and been kind of sick looking lately. Her suspicion was confirmed because while they were discussing their case, Sara suddenly looked rather pale and excused herself to the bathroom. Nick just looked knowingly and Catherine followed her. Warrick just sat there, clueless.
"Sara, are you okay?" asked Catherine standing outside the stall Sara was in.
"I'm fine, Cath," said Sara. She really did not want Catherine to find out. Few minutes later she came out and rinsed her mouth. She could feel Catherine's eyes on her.
"Sara, are you pregnant?" asked Catherine boldly. Sara knew she could not get away with this.
"What makes you think that?" asked Sara.
"Well, you've gained a little weight, you didn't drink coffee which was kinda weird since you pretty much live on it."
Sara just sighed and cursed mentally because out of all those jobs out there, she had to work with observant people.
"Yeah," said Sara almost a whisper.
"I knew it! Who's the father? Is it Greg because I saw you ad him are getting a little closer," asked Catherine.
"God, I wish it was him," said Sara in a whisper.
"What?"
"It's not Greg, Cath, it's Nick."
"Really? Didn't see that one coming," said Catherine.
"But I'd appreciate it if you didn't tell anyone."
"Yeah, sure, but are you okay? You don't seem all that happy."
"It's complicated, I'll tell you when the time is right," said Sara.
"Okay."
"Can we please get back to the briefing room? This bathroom is making me sick."
"Yeah."
They walked back to the briefing room. Nick and Warrick were reviewing the evidence. They looked up when Sara and Catherine walked in.
"You okay, Sara?" asked Warrick.
"Yeah."
Sara turned to Nick and saw he was studying her. When he realized she saw him, he quickly turned away. As they continued working, he swore he saw Catherine was giving him looks like she knew something. But he just brushed it off.
Later at the end of shift Sara went to the locker room to pack up her stuff. Catherine already went home while Nick and Warrick was still doing paperwork. As she went into the locker room she saw Greg at his locker.
"Hey Greg," said Sara.
"Hey Sara," said Greg with a big smile. He was happy to see her.
"How was shift?" asked Greg. He wanted to know if everything was okay since she was working with Nick.
"Okay, I just helped out a little bit."
Greg wanted to ask if she was okay being aroundNick and all but did not want to sound overprotective. Sara knew what he wanted to know by his expression.
"Greg, I'm fine," said Sara reassuringly.
"Yeah, I know, I'm just worried about you," said Greg.
"Thanks, but I can handle it."
"Yeah, I know."
Sara sat on the bench and was fidgeting with her fingers.
"Greg, about what you said yesterday, I have given it a lot of thought."
"Yeah?" asked Greg expectantly sitting next to her.
"And um… I think… I want to give us a try," said Sara looking at him. Greg was shocked, he did not expect Sara to give him a chance.
"Really? Oh god, thanks Sara, I promise I'm going to make this work."
"But Greg, I hope we could take this slow, I'm still going through a lot."
Greg took her hand and looked into her eyes.
"Sara, it's okay, I'll help you through it, I'm not asking you to fall madly in love with me and have kids with me, I just want you to give me a chance to make you happy."
"Thanks Greg."
They looked into each other's eyes and Greg slowly leaned in and kiss Sara. She was hesitant at first but she knew if she wanted to be happy she had to open up. So she kissed him back.
"Want me to take you home?" asked Greg as they pulled away.
"What about my Denali?"
"I'll pick you up from your house."
"Okay."
Greg smiled and took her hand and they walked out of the room. But at the doorway they bumped into Nick.
"Greg," said Nick even though he was looking at Sara with sad eyes. Sara's expression mirrored his.
"Hey," said Greg not realizing the look Nick and Sara were giving each other. They walked pass Nick but their gazes did not break. Finally Sara turned away from Nick's gaze.
Sara was doing this because she wanted she and her baby to be happy and she thought she could be happy with Greg if given time. Even though she knew she was still in love with Nick.
Nick walked into the locker room and sat on the bench with feeling of regret in his heart. What Greg and Sara did not know was Nick heard everything they said. Now he was beating himself for rejecting Sara and his baby. He was still in love with Sara even though he really tried to deny it and it hurts to hear she was with another man, another better man than him.
