"Sara, honey." Nick gently shook her awake.

"Go away." Sara groaned. "I'm sleeping."

"I need you to wake up."

"House burning down?" Sara asked.

"No the house isn't burning down." He said with a smile.

"Then go away."

"I can't do that."

"Why not?" Sara opened her eyes and looked at him.

"We need to go somewhere."

"Where?" Sara asked.

"I can't tell you."

"Then I'm going back to sleep."

"You're being stubborn today." Nick pointed out.

"You get pregnant and then you can get to call me stubborn." Sara informed him.

"I promised I wouldn't tell you where I was taking you as it's supposed to be a surprise."

"What is?"

"If I told you it wouldn't be a surprise." Nick pointed out. "I let you sleep as long as I could. You have to get up now so you're not late."

"The actual act of getting up is a little hard." Sara stated. "If you haven't noticed I have a major bump."

"I can help with that."

"If this is a lousy surprise you're sleeping on the couch for the next few months."

"Deal." Nick kissed her. "Let's get you up."

"I think you'll need a crane."

"You're not that big and you still look beautiful."

"I feel like a whale. Seriously this kid is going is going to weigh ten pounds when he's born." Nick managed to get her sitting on the edge of the bed. "Hey!" Sara protested. "Give me your hand."

"Wow!" Nick said. "I think he objects to the ten pound comment."

"I think he objects to me getting up."

"I think that's you projecting." Nick corrected. "So what do you want to wear?"

"That depends on where I'm going." Sara stated.

"How about that blue dress you like?" Nick suggested getting up and opening the closet.

"Is it my appropriate than what I have on?" Sara inquired.

"Yes. Since you're wearing my shirt and boxer shorts."

"Then fine, but I have to pee first."

CSI

It took a lot of cajoling to get Sara out of the house, especially when he had to talk her into wearing a blindfold.

"You haven't done something stupid have you?" Sara asked.

"No." Nick replied. "I'm just providing transportation."

"Right." Sara didn't quite believe him. "So where are we going?"

"The whole point of the blindfold is so you don't know where you're going."

"The whole point seems to be driving me crazy. Remember what the doctor said about hormones."

"I remember Grissom suggested you stop threatening to strangle Hodges."

"Don't you want to strangle him?" Sara asked.

"Yes but…"

"I'm just articulating it." Sara shuffled in her seat.

"Are you okay?"

"He's just trying to shuffle under my ribs." She rubbed her stomach.

"We'll be there in five minutes and everything will be fine."

"Promise?"

"Of course it will be."

"I meant the five minutes because I have to pee."

"Oh." Nick said. "We'll be there soon."
