I Do Not Own CSI

"Catherine," Warrick yelled as he and Nick came into the front of the ER.

"Rick," Catherine said, falling into his embrace.

"What happened, what's wrong?"

"I'm not sure, Sara fainted. I think she was dehydrated or something. Gil's back there with her doctor right now," she said just as Greg and Jim came flying through the ER doors.

"Who's hurt? We heard on the scanner that a female CSI was taken to the hospital."

"Where's Sara," Jim asked.

"Back with the doctor and Gil. I haven't heard anything yet. All I know is that Sara fainted."

"Well, come on. She's back there somewhere, let's see if we can find them since they won't tell us anything," Nick said, already walking back towards the ER.

"Nick…"

"What, the nurses won't tell us anything, we'll just look through the window and see what's going on," Nick said as the team all took his lead and looked for the ER room where Sara was.

"I think I got her," Greg called, looking through the window.

"Yeah, Griss is in there, what the…?"

"What Greg, what's going on," Jim asked, coming to stand beside him and seeing the doctor start an ultrasound.

"Is Sara pregnant again," Nick asked, apparently too loudly as all of the heads in the exam room looked towards the audience they had outside.

"Excuse me, you're going to have…," the nurse started.

"It's ok, they can come in if they want," Sara said softly as the team all made their way in.

"And to answer your question, Nick, yes, apparently I'm pregnant again."

"This is going to be cold, Sara," Dr. Keys said as the probe went onto her flat stomach.

"Sara, when was your last period."

"I was supposed to get it about twelve days ago, so I guess five weeks."

"That's what I figured, by my best estimate I would say you're due at the end of February," she said as a little teeny tiny blip could be seen on the screen.

"There's your baby."

"Just one," Gil asked.

"Just one."

"I don't see anything," Greg said, squinting.

"I do," Sara said, looking at the screen, touching it.

"Ok, you gotta help me out here, because I'm as blind as Greg," Jim asked.

"Right here," Gil said, pointing to a little blob.

"That rapidly blinking thing is the heart beat," Gil explained.

"Is it supposed to beat that fast? I mean, that's really fast," Warrick asked.

"It is. Sara, everything is looking ok. I think you were just a little stressed and dehydrated."

"And the bleeding?"

"It happens, Sara. If you continue to bleed, let me know. That may be sign of miscarriage."

"When can I go home?"

"As soon as your IV is gone and you're rehydrated."

"Here's your baby's first picture," Dr. Keys said, handing over the picture to Sara before leaving.

"Hey Doc, can I talk to you for a sec," Catherine asked, following her out.

"So, pregnant, huh? I can't wait to tell Maddie."

"Nicholas Stokes, you will not. This is our news. If Maddie, Mom, or James and Jeremy find out before we get to tell them, there will be hell to pay."

"Nick, don't piss off pregnant women. That's like shooting yourself in the foot," Jim whispered.

"Gil learned that the hard way."

"Yes well, this time around I'll know when to keep my mouth shut."

"Dr. Keys," Catherine said.

"Yes?"

"I was wondering if you had room for another patient."

"I still have a few openings available. Here's my card, just give my office a call. What's the reason, just a check up or…"

"I'm pregnant, and Sara says you're one of the best OBGYN's, my doctor is a little old and mean and I wouldn't mind switching."

"How old are you Mrs…"

"Willows, but call me Catherine, and I'm 40. I know, you don't have to say that I'm too old to be having a child, I know that."

"Actually, I was just curious, and I don't think forty is too old to have a child. It does get riskier as you age, but I have no problem with it. Hell, my mom was forty-four when she had me and I turned out ok."

"Really?"

"Yeah. Look, I have to go. I have two patients in labour upstairs. Just call my office."

"Thanks, Dr. Keys."

"Ok, I have your walking papers," Gil said, coming into her hospital room a couple hours later.

"Good, I just want my bed and sleep."

"Are you really feeling ok," Gil asked softly as he helped pull Sara up and off the bed.

"Yeah, a bit of a headache from where I hit my head, other than that I'm just tired."

"Do you think we should tell Mom?"

"Well, the secret's out with the team, if your mom finds out that she was the last to know and we made her wait I think she might be a little insulted. Why don't we tell her in the morning."

"I have a better idea, Mothers' Day is in a few days," Gil said with a smile.

"Ohh, she's going to love it," Sara said with a smile as Gil handed her shirt to her.

"What if she asks why she doesn't have to sit for the next couple days?"

"We can just say that you're not feeling great and are staying home."

"You think she'll buy that?"

"What other choice does she have," Gil said, helping her with her jacket, kissing her soundly once it was on.

"You know, it was kissing me like that that led me to being pregnant again."

"Well, I'm never going to stop kissing you like that, so be prepared."
