Chapter 16 Once Sara was out of her house to spend the night at Greg's, Nick quickly started working. He felt like one of the guys in 'Queer Eye for The Straight Guy', trying to transform the room. He started painting the room. After he was done he had to wait for the paint to dry before putting the stuff in. Nick did not sleep the whole night. Greg would come to help out occasionally but not that long because he did not want to leave Sara alone for too long. Then the next morning Nick started putting in the crib, some stuffed animals and some other stuff.
"Greg, I wanna go home, I have laundry to do," said Sara.
"Now?" asked Greg nervously.
"Yeah."
"Come on, Sara, stay a little while," pleaded Greg.
"Greg, I have a lot of work to do and you have work tonight, might as well I go home," said Sara.
"Okay, just give me a minute, I have to go to the bathroom."
"Sure," said Sara.
Greg walked into the bathroom and started punching Nick's number. He had to make sure Nick was ready with the surprise.
"Stokes," answered Nick.
"Nick, are you done? She wants to go home, now," said Greg frantically.
"Damn it!" cursed Nick.
"What should I do?"
"Just stall her, I just need like half an hour to get everything ready."
"30 minutes? Her house is only 10 minutes away," said Greg.
"I know, just take her somewhere else for a while."
"Fine, I'll try," said Greg.
"Okay, I'll page you when I'm ready," said Nick.
"Okay, bye."
Greg hung up and exited the bathroom. Sara was sitting on the couch.
"Were you just talking to yourself just now?" asked Sara.
"Uh… yeah, I like to talk to myself when I'm in the bathroom," said Greg realizing how stupid that sounded after he said it.
"Oh.. okay," said Sara looking at weirdly.
"So, are we going or not?"
"Yeah, sure," replied Sara moving to take her bag. But Greg quickly took it. Sara just rolled her eyes and le him took it. Greg helped Sara into the car and he drove off. Few minutes later Sara realized they were not going the right way.
"Greg, my apartment's that way," said Sara.
"I know, I just wanna get some coffee."
"But there's a coffee house near my house," said Sara.
"I really want Starbucks," said Greg.
Sara just looked at him oddly.
"What?" asked Greg feigning innocence.
"You're acting fishy, what are you up to?" asked Sara.
"Noting, what are you talking about?"
"Whatever it is, I'm going to find out."
"What is there to find out?"
Sara just glared at him and stuck her tongue out at him. Greg laughed and just continued driving.
"Okay, so we got your coffee, can I go home now, or do you want to keep me hostage forever?" said Sara sarcastically.
"The latter sounds really tempting," said Greg with a mischievous grin.
"Very funny."
Suddenly Greg phone rang. Sara wanted to pick it up because Greg was driving but Greg quickly took it. Sara just gave him a 'what the hell' kind of look.
"It's okay, I got it," said Greg. Greg answered the phone and it was Nick. Lucky he took the phone before Sara.
"Hey Greg, I'm ready," said Nick.
"Yeah, good, bye," said Greg hanging up the phone.
"Who was that?" asked Sara.
"Just a friend," said Greg simply.
"O-kay," said Sara not convinced at all.
Few minutes later, they finally arrived at Sara's apartment. Sara did not suspect anything because Nick parked his car away from her apartment. Sara and Greg made their way into her apartment. Sara was so tired she just lazily sat on the couch.
"Sara, I wanna show you something," said Greg.
"What? I'm really tired here," said Sara.
"Just a minute, I can carry you if you want."
"No way, I value my life and I don't want to break you back," said Sara.
"Sara, come on," said Greg impatiently. He took Sara's hand and helped her stand up. Greg led her to the guest room that was now transformed into the baby's room.
"Ready?" asked Greg.
"For what?"
Greg just opened the door and there stood Nick in the middle of the room, grinning because he was satisfied with his work. Sara just stood there with amazement and happiness in her eyes. Nick had painted the room with lavender paint and Sara loved that so much because she thought pink was so common for a girl. In the middle of the room was the baby's crib and at the walls are a lot of stuffed animals on racks. He even put a teddy bear wallpaper on some part of the wall.
"Do you like it?" asked Nick.
"Like it? I love it!" said Sara excitedly. Sara entered the room and touched the crib. Suddenly she felt tears in her eyes.
"Guys, thank you so much, this means a lot to me," said Sara sniffling.
"You deserve it, Sara," said Nick giving Sara a hug. Sara kissed him on the cheek and then she hugged Greg and gave him a kiss on the cheek too.
"This is so beautiful, you guys are angels, I've been worrying about the baby's room for a while," said Sara.
"We didn't want you to be so stressed out," said Greg.
"So this is why you've been acting weird all day, and how did you pull off all of this in one night?" asked Sara.
"I stayed up all night and just don't touch the walls yet, I think there are some parts that are not fully dried," said Nick.
"No wonder you look so tired," said Sara.
"No, I'm fine."
"Okay, since you guys have been super great, I'll buy you some lunch," offered Sara.
"Okay, you buy, we pay," said Greg smiling.
"Greg..," started Sara.
"Great idea, Greg," said Nick.
"Can't you guys let me do anything at least once?"
They argued all the way to the diner but finally the two guys won the battle, as usual.
