Sara sent Nick back to work. He'd tried to protest but she told him there wasn't anything he could do but sit and wait with her so he may as well go back to work and be useful and come back and pick her up later.
Sara also insisted that he go and check on her evidence. When she had woken up before the ambulance arrived she knew they were going to insist that she go to the hospital for a check up so she had had one of the officer's sign for all of the evidence piece by piece to assure the chain of custody. Then agree to take it and her Denali right back to the crime lab and have them sign for the all the evidence.
"Hey Nicky." Catherine said when she saw him enter the lab. "I wasn't expecting you back for a while, how's Sara?"
"She's fine. She just fainted because of the heat, the doctor has her on IV fluids and he wants her to wait until it runs out before he releases her. So she insisted I come back to work and go back and pick her up in a few hours."
"That's good news."
"I got there just in time for the doctor to do a sonogram. The baby is about this big and has a really fast heartbeat."
"They do." Catherine had a flashback to when she was pregnant with Lindsay.
"Sara's got a picture."
"Have you told your family yet?" Catherine inquired.
"We're planning on calling them this weekend." Nick replied. "They'll all be there for dinner so it's going to be easier to have one expensive phone call rather than 8."
"Good luck with that."
"I've got to go and check that the cop Sara had sign for all her evidence and bring it here actually managed to log it in correctly. I'll be right back."
"Okay." Catherine agreed.

Grissom, and when they got back Warrick and Greg both inquired after Sara. Grissom had taken over the evidence in Sara's case as it was formally his case too.
Nick went back to collect Sara from the hospital a few hours later.
"So where do you want to go?" Nick asked as they pulled away from the hospital.
"The doctor suggested I go somewhere cool."
"The power is back on but the house is still has no air conditioning." Nick reminded her. "And I have to go back to the lab."
"Head to the lab then." Sara told him.
"Grissom said to tell you to take the rest of the night, technically morning off."
"If the air conditioning is back I can go to the lab."
"But you can't work." Nick countered.
"So I'll take a nap on the couch until you're done." Sara shrugged.
"Are you sure?"
"Nick I passed out for thirty seconds. I was stood next to a guy with fast reflexes. I'm fine, the baby is fine. Just relax."
"Relax?"
"I'm pregnant not dying."
"Lab it is." Nick headed towards the lab.
"Thank you."
When the got to the lab Sara made a quick dash inside.
"That's so much better compared to earlier." She commented.
"The benefits of having electricity."
The receptionist handed Sara the keys to her Denali.
"Thank you." She smiled.
"Couch." Nick instructed.
"Yes sir."
"You're funny." Nick told her.
"Get back to work I can managed to walk that far by myself."
Sara headed for the break room. Sitting on one of the couches she slipped off her shoes, she grabbed a couple of the forensics magazines from the table and sat and read them from cover to cover.
"Hey Sara." Greg walked in and collapsed into a chair. "Feeling better?"
"I'm fine Greg." She assured him. "Although you don't look so hot."
"I like I lost ten pounds in sweat."
"That's a pleasant image and you should replace the water. Glass of water, half a teaspoon of salt and a teaspoon of honey."
"I'm not dehydrated; I've drunk ten bottles of water."
"I drank five, and still ended up on IV fluids for three hours." Sara countered.
"I'll drink so more." He assured her.
