Catherine walked out into the back garden where Sara was sat on a bench getting some air.

"Having fun?" Catherine came and sat next to her.

"It's all a little overwhelming." Sara admitted rubbing her stomach.

"We thought it might help cut down on the shopping trips."

"It was a good idea; I just wish I'd had a little advanced warning."

"That would have ruined the surprise element." Catherine pointed out.

"How did you con Nick into helping?"

"I just asked." She paused. "Do you want to know what he's doing right now?"

"Playing pool with Greg and Warrick." Sara replied.

"Actually he's having his own guy baby shower."

"Guy baby shower?" Sara questioned.

"Since he's going to be a boy they are buying him little baseball mitts and footballs." Catherine explained.

"Whose idea was that?" Sara asked.

"Mine. But Greg and Warrick ran with it."

"I would have loved to see Nick's face."

"Do you want to come back and join the party?" Catherine inquired.

"You're going to have to help me up."

"I can do that."

Nick's cell phone beeped.

Having fun? S xx

Nick smiled before responding.

I guess Catherine told you then. Do you need me to pick you up? N xx

His cell beeped a minute later.

She told me. No your mom will take me home. See you later. S xx

"Who are you talking to?" Greg inquired.

"Sara." Nick replied. "Catherine told her what's happening. I also told her to let me know if she needed a ride. Mom's going to take her home."

"Since she's taken care of, enjoy the rest of this shindig we don't have to be a work for another four and a half hours."

"Shindig?" Nick questioned.

"It's a word."

"So how long are you staying?" Sara asked as Nick's family sat around her living room.

"We're heading back tomorrow morning." Carrie replied.

"You flew all the way out here for a baby shower."

"That's what family do." Jillian told her.

"I can't believe they managed to arrange this without me knowing."

"It seems Catherine can be a very sneaky woman when she wants to be."

"I'm just waiting for it to be over." Sara rubbed her stomach.

"It may drag for the next few weeks and then you'll wonder where the time goes to because they get so big so fast." Erin told her.

"I'm just concerned with how big I am."

"What does your doctor say?" Carrie inquired.

"That I'm doing fine." Sara replied.

"As long as they aren't worried you shouldn't be."

"I know that logically."
