Chapter 3

Asking Nick

After Sara told the team her story they all went to work then after work everyone went back to Sara's new house and talked more and basically had a small party. After a few hours everyone had gone home to get some sleep before shift, all except Nick. Nick and Sara sat beside each other on the couch while Bella slept in her room.

"Nick I really need to tell you something."

"Sara, you know that you can ask me anything you want."

"Nick I was going to tell you that night that I had feelings for you but then everything happened and I was scared and worried and so many more emotions so I decided that I would tell you after the baby was born. When I was pregnant I wished that it were your baby, and I wished that you could have felt when she kicked and when she was first born, but I thought that you would not want to raise another man's baby."

At this point Sara is crying.

"Sara sshhhhh. Sara I have feelings for you too and I wish that I could have also felt her kick and see her being born, but I have you now and Bella is here with us and that is all that matters and the first time I saw her I feel in love with her and I love her already like she is my own."

Nick says as he rubs her back then he leans in and places a gentle kiss on her lips.

"I love you Sara Sidle and I love that little girl of yours like she is my own flesh and blood."

"Nick will you legally adopt Isabella and then your name can go on her birth certificate and we can change her last name to Stokes. It's that alright. If you do not want to then that is fine b…"

Nick leans in and places another kiss on her lips.

"What was that for?" Sara asks.

"To shut you up. I would love it if I become Bella's father legally."

"I love you too Nick Stokes. You are an amazing man."

"Nick?"

"Yah Sara,"

"Can we please keep this quite?"

"Keep what quite, that we are a couple or that I am going to be Bella's dad?"

"Both, if that is ok with you."

"That would be just fine with me sweetheart."

He leans in and kisses her.

"Are you going to move in with us?"

"Sara only if you want to."

"Nick I love you with all of my heart and I know that there is no other person I want to spend the rest of my life with. I want to be the mother of your kids. I fell for you when I first saw you and I am still falling. I will never fall out of love with you."

"Sara I love you with all of my heart and soul and I feel the same thing, so I guess I am moving."

"I guess you are."

Sara give Nick a kiss on the lips.

Then they hear Bella start to cry from the next room. Sara starts to get up but Nick stops her.

"Sara let me get her."

"Nick she needs to be feed."

"I will bring her out here."

"Ok"

A minute later Nick walks out of the room with the baby in his arms and walks over to the couch and places Bella in Sara's arms and sits beside her. Sara positions the baby at her chest and she unclasps her bra and brings the baby to her breast. As the baby latches on Sara lends back in to Nick. Nick puts his hand on top of Sara's which is holding the baby.

Sara turns around and smiles at Nick and Nick smiles back at Sara.

Nick looks down at his daughter who is eating and he realizes this is what he wants. A wife and children to come home to.

Nick looks at Sara.

"Sara?"

"Yah Nick."

"Will you marry me?"

Sara just looks into Nicks eyes and all she sees is love. She starts to cry and she nodes her head yes. Nick Places a kiss on her head then he whispers in her hear,

"She's perfect."
