I Do Not Own CSI

"Hey Gil," Sara asked as the two drove into work that evening.

"Yeah?"

"Would you mind pairing me with Catherine tonight?"

"I guess, why?"

"I just need some female company is all" Sara said, gazing out the window.

"Hey, are you alright?"

"Mmmhmm, just tired, you, is your hearing…"

"Its ok, my doctor's appointment is tomorrow afternoon. Hopefully tonight it's ok."

"Just don't go out into the field."

"What, why?"

"Because, I don't want you getting hurt. Not now, well, not ever, but especially not now."

"Sara, I'm fully capable of doing my job."

"One sense short, Gil? What happens if you're hearing cuts out and a suspect decides to come back to the scene, you wouldn't hear a thing."

"I doubt that would…"

"Please," Sara asked, grabbing Gil's hand.

"Ok, I'll stay at CSI tonight. Anyway, there's a bunch of paperwork that I have been avoiding on the top of my desk."

"Thank you."

Walking into the break room, Sara saw the whole team already waiting. Spotting out Catherine she raised her eyebrow, silently asking her what her result was. Getting a slight nod from the woman, Catherine silently asked Sara the same question, Sara nodding the affirmative.

"What's with the secret conversation? You two are conversing like Sara and Grissom do," Nick said, seeing the exchange.

"Nothing," both women blurted.

"You sure about that," Greg asked.

"Assignments," Grissom said, coming into the room.

"Warrick, you and Nick have a double out in Henderson. Sara and Catherine, you two have a B&E. Greg, you have a trick roll."

"Sweet, I haven't had one of those yet!"

"Griss, you mind if I switched with Sara," Warrick asked.

"Actually, I kinda need to work with a woman tonight, War," Catherine said softly.

"But…"

"Warrick, I make the assignments," Gil said a little sternly.

"Come on, Rick, let's go solve the case of the night," Nick said.

"Be careful," Warrick said into her ear before he left.

"What's with you two," Greg asked aloud.

"Nothing Greg. Come on, Sara, you ready?"

"Yeah."

"See you when I see you," Gil said as the two left, Sara giving him a smile.

As soon as Sara and Catherine were in the car, laughs erupted from both women.

"We're both pregnant," Sara laughed out.

"Looks like it, who would have thought that. The only two women on nightshift and we're both pregnant," Catherine giggled out.

"The guys won't stand a chance," Sara muttered, as tears started to come to her eyes.

"Sara, what's wrong?"

"I'm a little scared."

"You've already been pregnant, Sara, I think you'll be alright."

"No, not that, I'm dealing with that. Gil and I are both dealing with that."

"Then what?"

"It's Gil."

"Is he sick, he's alright, isn't he?"

"Mostly, it's his hearing. It's cutting in and out on him. I'm scared he'll lose it."

"What's his doctor say?"

"We don't know yet, his appointment isn't until tomorrow. But that's why he's not out in the field tonight."

"I'm sure everything will be fine, Sara."

"I'll love him either way. I just want him to be able to her our children's laughs and voices. I don't want him to miss that," Sara said through another sob.

"Sara," Gil said, knocking on the car window, making her jump.

"Jesus, Gil! Trying to make me have this kid now?"

"Sorry, you just forgot your cell phone in the break room. Sara, are you crying," Gil asked, as the door opened and they came face to face.

"No."

"You're a horrible liar, what's wrong?"

"I'll tell you later, but right now I'm fine. Catherine's here with me."

"We have each others back, Gil," Catherine said with a smile.

"You sure you're ok?"

"Yeah."

"Be safe, I love you," Gil said, kissing the top of her head.

"You, too," Sara said, closing the door, giving him a slight smile before they drove off.

"You're going to talk to him, right," Catherine asked.

"Yeah, it's all just a little overwhelming right now. Between Gil, the babies and another one on the way, and added hormones I'm just feeling a little out of whack is all."

"Just take it easy, ok."

"I will."

Two Hours later at the crime scene

"Sara, are you ok, you're looking a little pale," Catherine said, coming closer to her.

"Yeah, I'm ok."

"You want some water? I was going to grab a bottle."

"That would be nice, thanks," Sara said as Catherine left the room, leaving her to finish dusting the door frame.

"Wow," Sara said as her world started to spin a little, catching herself on the door.

"Sara," Catherine called worriedly.

"I'm ok, just a little diz….." Sara never finished it as she passed out, falling to the ground.

"Sara!"
