"Hey Warrick do you have a minute?"
"For you maybe two." He smiled. "What's up?"
"There's something I need to tell you since everybody else guessed."
"You're pregnant." Warrick stated.
"Okay, you guessed as well." Sara sighed.
"Nick let something slip the other day and made me promise not to say anything." Warrick explained.
"I guess this is a wasted conversation."
"No, I get to say congratulations girl and give you a hug." Warrick hugged her. "I also get to tell you Warrick is a good name."
"It's better than some of the suggestions that Nick's come up with but I already told him we're naming it after anyone we know."
"You got in there before he suggested junior." Warrick guessed.
"What else was I supposed to do?" Sara asked. "Besides come up with creative ways to get rid of the name book he bought."
"This have to hear." Warrick crossed his arms.
"I'm currently torn between dropping it in a vat of acid or just burning it."
"Go for the second but just do it in an open space that won't catch on fire." Warrick told her.
"I have to go to the morgue so I'll see you later." Sara excused herself.
"Was that Sara?" Nick came in the other door just after she left.
"She thought she'd better tell me the news since everybody else guessed."
"Greg guessed?" Nick questioned.
"If you hadn't told me I think I would have figured it out." Warrick stated. "Also she's concocting plans for things to do with that name book you have."
"I know."
"Putting it away for a few months might be a good idea if you don't want it flambéed." Warrick advised.

Since Nick had gone over to PD Sara could actually get some work done with the feeling that someone was watching her every move.
Sara progressed with her case.
"Hey Hodges." Sara walked into trace.
"Sara."
"Do you have my results back yet?"
"Not yet?" He replied.
"How much longer I've been waiting four hours?"
"You have to wait just like everybody else. I only have two hands and I'm processing a backlog as it is and…"
"Excuse me." Sara left quick she could feel she was about to burst into tears and she wasn't going to do it in front of Hodges. She quickly headed for the ladies room.
"What did you say to Sara?" Grissom demand to know from Hodges having seen her run out.
"I just told she'd have to wait for her results just like everyone else."
"How long has she been waiting?" Grissom asked.
"About four hours."
"How is she expected to do her job if it takes so long for results?"
"There was a backlog from days that I have to finish first."
"We've been here for 6 hours, make a start on night shifts trace evidence, the day guys can take care of their own evidence." Grissom instructed.
"I don't know why she is so upset. Maybe she's getting her period."
"I'll let you know when you have to attend your sensitivity seminar." Grissom told him. "You have work to do."
Grissom looked around the lab until he found Catherine.
"Catherine do you have a minute?" He asked.
"Sure." Catherine followed him into the hall.
"Can you go and check on Sara? Hodges made her cry. I think she was headed for the bathroom."
"Idiot." Catherine muttered.
Catherine found Sara splashing water on her face.
"You okay?" She asked.
"Bursting into tears for no reason is going to take some getting used to." Sara sighed.
"Hodges is a jerk and enough to make anyone cry." Catherine told her. "And mood swings, bursting into tears are all par for the course, along with backaches, swollen ankles, and people treating you like your sick rather just pregnant."
"Great." Sara muttered.
"Just take it one day at a time. You'll get your body back in seven months, until then something this big is going to send your system crazy."
