"Alright then let's tell them." Sara psyched herself up before they entered the break room. Why did it seem that every other time she went in there now there was an announcement to be made?

"Let's go!" Grissom placed his hand in the small of her back and led her into the room. Catherine and Warrick were already waiting but Nick and Greg had yet to arrive. The in between time was filled with comfortable small talk between the two couples as they waited for the late-comers.

"Sorry guys!" Nick entered the room apologising. "My car wouldn't start and I had to call Greg who was already half way to work at the time and get him to come back and give me a ride and that's why we're late." Nick spoke quickly, laying his southern accent on thick. Greg stood beside him nodding dramatically.

"OK then, let's get started." Grissom continued, not paying any attention to the gawking Greg and Nick who had been expecting to be in trouble when they arrived. "Warrick and Nick, you guys will be attending a hit and run downtown, here's the address. And the rest of us will be continuing work on the double homicide from yesterday." He informed them, handing Warrick the slip of paper with the location of the hit and run on it. "And one more thing Catherine, you may be pleased to, you're going to have some company when you are on desk duty before your maternity leave."

Everyone exchanged wondering looks.

"Yes I am pregnant!" Sara clarified things for them with a big smile on her face. She looked to Grissom and he smiled back at her just as largely.

"Really?" Nick asked his mouth agape in shock. They nodded. "That's great news!" He smiled and moved to hug Sara, but not too tightly.

"Hey now our kid will have someone to play with!" Warrick smiled, he didn't seem too surprised by the news. Sara assumed Catherine had told him about their conversation in the bathroom yesterday, she looked at Catherine who was hugging Grissom as if to accuse her of slipping to Warrick, Catherine averted her gaze ashamedly then came over to hug Sara as well.

"Aw man! You mean we gotta work with two pregnant women now?" Greg had been on the receiving end of Catherine's raging hormones one too many times. "I mean...Congratulations Grissoms! That's great news." Greg's voice came out an octave higher than usual due to a combination of forced happiness and fear of the two pregnant women currently scowling at him. He backed up a few steps from the table.

"I'm going to go see if Hodges has those trace results ready for us!" He smiled before turning on his heels and running from the room. Everyone else laughed.

Five months later...

"I hate that stupid desk! I hate paper work! I hate Greg's chicken scratch writing, I swear you need a damn decoder ring to read it and more than all that I hate Ecklie!" Sara griped as she lay propped up by pillows in their bed with Bruno at her feet.

"Is that it?" Grissom asked her with a laugh, reaching out to wrap his arm around her.

"No!" She huffed. "I hate that I need assistance to get up now. I hate that I have to go to the bathroom every 15 minutes and I hate that the damn waitress at the diner can never get my order right. Being pregnant is harder than it looks you know!" She said accusingly.

"I know!" He sympathised, kissing her hair.

"I'm just lonely at my desk now that Catherine's gone off and started her maternity leave." She explained. "At least when she was there I had someone to talk to. I miss her! I miss being in the field!"

"You know you could just start your maternity leave early!" He suggested.

"Yeah?"

"I am your boss, you know I'm sure I could allow it!" Grissom said suggestively. Secretly he was glad she was so taken with the idea. Since Catherine left she was becoming increasingly difficult to work with, not for him but for the rest of the lab; the pregnancy had shortened her fuse even further.

"You know I might just do that!" She leaned back into the pillows and smiled.

The next day Sara applied to start her maternity leave early and Ecklie granted her request happily.

Sara spent her days shopping or having coffee with Catherine or rearranging the furniture in the townhouse. She even had breakfast ready and waiting on the table every morning for Grissom getting in from work; she was turning into a real domestic housewife though Grissom knew it was just because she was bored.

"I finished the nursery today!" She informed him excitedly. Finishing his last mouthful of breakfast he cleared his dishes away into the dishwasher.

"Really sweetie? Does this mean I get to see it now?" He asked, Sara had enforced a strict no entry policy on the nursery while she finished it off, he was dying to see inside.

"Of course!" She smiled and kissed him. Taking him by the hand she led him to the bedroom closest to their own. "Close your eyes!" She instructed him as she opened the door. She led him inside the room and told him to open his eyes again.

"It's beautiful!" He gasped; she'd done so much work to it, it was a complete change from the bare cream walled guest room it used to be.

The walls were now painted soft lemon on the top and pastel green on the bottom. A border of little ladybugs, butterflies and caterpillars lined where the two colours met; Grissom couldn't help but think the bugs were there to make him happy. There was a large pine crib in the centre of the room, a matching baby changing centre on the same wall as the door and a matching dresser and wardrobe too. On top of the dresser there was an empty silver photograph frame with the words "Our Family" engraved into it.

"Really it's perfect! It's amazing! You did all this yourself?" He asked impressed.

"Well, Cath helped me pick out the furniture." She admitted as he stood behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist, placing his hands on her growing belly. They stared at the room for a few moments imaging the baby that would soon inhabit it.

"It really is perfect. This little baby will love it!" He kissed her neck.

After viewing the room Grissom moved into his own ready to sleep off his long shift, thanking God that tomorrow was his day off and he could spend it with Sara. When he woke up he realised she was lying in bed beside him.

"I got tired!" She explained in response to his questioning look. He didn't really care why she was there, he was just happy she was. He reached out and wrapped his arms around her.

"You know Cath and I were talking the other day and I realised something."

"Oh yeah? What's that?" Grissom asked, nuzzling into the back of her neck.

"We haven't thought about any baby names yet!" She told him. "Do you have any ideas?" She asked him.

"I haven't really thought about it!" He told her honestly. "Although, if it was a boy I'd kind of like to name him after my father, Nathaniel. Would you mind that?" He asked her.

"Nathaniel?" She rolled over to face him, a task that was taking considerably longer than it used to. "Yeah I like that!" She smiled and kissed him.

"I was thinking, if it's a girl we could call her Skye. Kind of like after where she was conceived." Sara joked with him, recalling their mile high adventure. He laughed slightly.

"You know, I know you're kidding and everything, but I kind of like it." He smiled. "Of course we won't tell her how she got her name." He laughed. "But I think it's cute and...Oddly appropriate."

"Really?" Her brow furrowed as she examined his face.

"Well it's a possibility." He quirked an eyebrow at her.

"I was thinking as well, if it's a girl, we could call her Elizabeth kind of after my mother Laura Elizabeth Sidle. Only we could call her Lily for short." She looked at him with her big brown eyes anxious to see what he thought of her suggestion.

"Elizabeth, Lily. I like that it's pretty!" He smiled and kissed her.

"Really?" She asked, thrilled he liked the idea.

"Yeah. It's perfect." He kissed her again.

"Well, that seems to be sorted. It was pretty easy. Catherine told me it would be harder than I thought." Sara shrugged and relaxed in Grissom's arms. "Now all we have to wait and see if it's a Nathaniel or an Elizabeth." She smiled.
