Chapter 10

Greg arrived at Sara's apartment to pick her up to go to the lab together. Greg knocked softly on her door and few seconds later Sara opened the door.

"Hey Sara," said Greg walking into the apartment. He leaned in and gave Sara a kiss.

"Hi Greg, I'm ready, I just have to take my stuff," said Sara.

"Okay, I'll wait here," said Greg. He noticed that Sara looked tired and like something was bothering her. He will have to ask her about that.

"Okay, I'm ready."

They walked to Greg's Denali and got into the car.

"Sara, are you okay?" asked Greg as he drove the car.

"Yeah, I'm fine, why?" asked Sara looking at Greg.

"You look tired, like you didn't sleep, is something bothering you?" asked Greg, concerned.

"Are you telling me I look like crap?" asked Sara. Greg just chuckled.

"That's not what I mean, you can never look like crap even if you wanted to be," said Greg.

"Good to know," said Sara laughing.

"Seriously Sara, are you okay?"

Sara decided just to tell Greg what happened.

"Well, Nick came to my place."

"What did he want?" asked Greg gripping the steering wheel.

"He said he's sorry for what he did, and he said he wanted to take responsibility on the baby," said Sara.

"And what did you say?"

"Well, I said he could, I mean it's his baby too," said Sara.

"Are you okay with it?"

"I'm okay, I guess," said Sara.

"What else did he say?" asked Greg wanting to know every detail.

"Uh.. that's it," said Sara. She knew she was lying but she did not want Greg to know about Nick being in love with her. She did not want to hurt him. But mostly she wanted to hide the fact that she still loved Nick.

"Don't worry, Sara, we'll get through this," said Greg taking her hand in his.

"Thanks, Greg," said Sara. She knew it was wrong to lie to Greg but she had to.

Ten minutes later they arrived at the lab. After they talked about Nick, they fell into silence because both of them had something in their minds. Greg was questioning whether Nick was sincere or not while Sara was feeling guilty for not telling Greg the whole truth. Be fore they got out of the car, Greg firmly grabbed Sara's hand.

"You're gonna be alright?" asked Greg.

"Yeah, I'm gonna be fine, Greg, don't worry."

"I'm just concerned about you."

"Greg I know you're doubting Nick right now, but please for me, be civil with him."

"I will, don't worry about me, just take care of yourself," said Greg caressing the back of Sara's hand.

"Thanks Greg," said Sara. She leaned in and gave Greg a kiss.


Nick just arrived at the parking lot of the lab. He saw Sara's Denali and Greg's was near it but he was curious because the engine of Greg's car was on. So he walked over to it and peered at the mirror. What he saw made him felt like his heart was being squeezed hard. Sara and Greg were kissing with Sara's hands in his hair and Greg was caressing her face. Nick felt like he wanted to punch that mirror and beat the crap out of Greg for kissing his Sara. But he knew he could not because Sara was not his to begin with. So he just walked off into the lab.


Once Nick arrived at the break room, he went straight for the coffee pot. He really needed it because he had not had any sleep lately. But when he tasted it, he felt like his throat was melting. The coffee was horrible.

"Should've waited for this," said Greg holding up his Blue Hawaiian. He noticed Nick had this disgusted expression on his face. He decided to make peace with Nick for Sara.

"Yeah," said Nick laughing.

Greg walked to the coffee pot and started a new batch. He waited at the counter for the coffee to finish while Nick sat on the couch.

"So, Sara told me you came to see her," started Greg.

"Yeah, why?" asked Nick a little guarded. He was a little surprised that Sara told Greg what happened.

"I'm glad you want to take the responsibility on the baby and I hope you're sincere with Sara because I really do not want her to get hurt again."

"I don't want her to get hurt too, and I am sincere, so you don't have to worry," said Nick guardedly.

"Look, Nick, I know we haven't been in good terms lately, but I really want us to be civil to each other because of Sara, she doesn't need us fighting when she has other stressful things on her lap."

"Yeah, I know, and I am sorry I have been a real jerk to her but now I wanna make everything right," said Nick.

"Thanks man," said Greg. They gave each other a manly hug while Sara was walking into the room. She was a little surprised to see them like that but glad they made up.

"Hey guys," said Sara smiling.

"Hey Sara," said Greg. Sara took a seat on the couch next to Greg while Nick stood at the counter sipping his coffee. Sara and Greg sat a little too close o Nick's liking but he tried to ignore that because he knew sooner or later Sara will realize her true feelings.

"How are you feeling, Sara?" asked Nick.

"As fine as a pregnant woman can be."

"When is your next check up?" asked Greg.

"Tomorrow."

"Crap! I'm on call tomorrow," said Greg.

It's fine, I'll go by myself."

"Uh.. I can go with you," said Nick.

"Um.. yeah, sure if you want to," said Sara giving Nick a small smile.

Greg felt a pang of jealousy but quickly shook it off because he trusted Sara. Besides Nick was the father of the baby and he had every right to help Sara through the pregnancy.

"I'm so sorry, Sara, I would have came if I didn't have work," said Greg apologetically.

"It's okay, Greg, just because I'm pregnant doesn't mean I can't function."

"Okay, I'm just concerned."

"Don't worry, I'm going to be okay," said Sara giving Greg a peck on the lips. Greg was a little surprised that Sara freely did that in front of Nick. He could see Nick's jaw tightened and he was clenching his fist so hard it almost turned white. But Greg did not really think much about that because he was on cloud nine after Sara's kiss.

"Okay, slow night tonight, Greg a 419 with me and Sara, paperwork for you," said Grissom. Sara groaned because she really hated paperwork.

"Is it swing shift already: asked Grissom directing his question to Nick. He really could not keep track of the time anymore.

"No, just wanna tie up some loose ends about my case."

"Okay, Greg get going, Sara, up, now," said Grissom walking out of the room.

"I'm going, Griss," said Sara, irritated.

"Bye Sara, see you after shift," said Greg.

"Okay."

Greg got off the couch and walked out of the room. Sara got up and wanted to start doing her paperwork when she was halted by Nick.

"You didn't tell him about what I said, didn't you?" asked Nick.

"He doesn't need to know and you shouldn't tell him either," said Sara.

"Why not? I mean he is your boyfriend, he has to know," said Nick sarcastically.

"Nick, stay out of my business."

"Fine, I'll pick you up tomorrow at your house."

"You don't have to if you don't want to," said Sara bitterly.

"Sara, I want to, I really want to be there for you and our baby," said Nick.

"Okay, I'll see you tomorrow," said Sara walking out of the room. Nick just sighed. He rubbed his temple in frustration.

"Why does he have to be so stubborn?" thought Nick.

He knew Sara was trying to tell him that she could not be with him when she kissed Greg in front of him. He really wanted to ignore the fact that Sara was with Greg and just focus on the baby but it was so hard, he really loved Sara and he kept blaming himself because he did not realize that sooner.
