Chapter 5

The months of pregnancy flew by for Catherine and Sara, before they knew it they were both 6 months pregnant. Sara was allowed to come off bed rest but the doctor decided she should take the rest of her pregnancy off, due to what her job was. Catherine's doctor also agreed that she should take leave of absence from her job until she delivered. They both turned down the opportunity to find out what the sex of their babies would be they all wanted to be surprised in the delivery room.

Sara rolled over in the bed to find her fiancé body not laying it his usually spot. She opened her eyes, and noticed the bed was empty. This is when she heard the shower running. "It must be time for nick to get ready to go to work." Sara though to herself as she closed her eyes back.

A second later, or at least that's what it felt like to Sara, she was awaken by the sound of someone rummaging through the dresser drawers, she looked over her shoulder and saw Nick standing there with nothing but a towel wrapped around his waist, his hair was still drenched with water and it was running down his bare back.

Nick placed his boxers on and turned around, "Oh hey baby, did I wake you?" He asked as he took the towel off the floor and ran it through his hair, to get the excess water off of it.

"No I've been awake for a few minutes." Sara said as she rolled over and propped her head up on her hand.

"So what are you going to do tonight?" Nick asked as she walked over to the closet.

"I think Catherine and I are going nursery shopping today for the babies." Sara tells him as she continues to watch him get dressed.

"That will be fun." Nick responds as he buttons up his brown shirt.

"Are you going to wear that shirt?" Sara asks as she starts to get up from the bed.

"Yeah why?"

"No reason, it's just that it's… hideous." Sara said as she walks in the direction of the bathroom and closes the door behind her.

Nick sighs heavily as he smiles towards the bathroom, and begins to take off his shirt.

When Sara exits the bathroom she finds Nick standing in the mirror combing his hair, that's when she noticed he changed his shirt; instead of the hideous brown one he was now wearing a plain red t-shirt.

"That looks better." Sara says as she approaches him and places her hands around his waist.

He smiles at her through his reflection in the mirror.

After finishing combing his hair, he turns around in Sara's arms to face her. They stare at one another for a moment before Nick cups Sara's face in his hands and kisses her. "I love you." He says as he breaks the kiss.

"I love you too." She responds with a smile.

Nick moved his hands from Sara's face and places them on her bulging stomach. That's when he bends down a little where he is eye level to her stomach and says, "And daddy loves you too, little one." He then kisses her stomach gently before standing back up.

Sara moves in closer for a kiss, this time deepening it by slipping her tongue past his lips. The only thing that could be heard throughout the room was the sucking noise coming from the two of them.

They both broke the kiss when they heard the door bell ring followed by their yellow lab Maverick barking downstairs.

"That's probably Catherine and Warrick." Sara said as she turns around and began walking towards the stairs.

"I'll be there in just a second when I get my shoes and belt on." Nick said while he watched Sara start down the steps.

"Okay." Sara said as she waddles down the steps.

"Hey guys, come in" Sara said when she opened the door and noticed her two best friends standing there.

"Hey guys what's up?" Nick said as he walked down the steps.

"Hey Nicky." Catherine and Warrick both say.

They all sat around for a minute talking before Nick spoke up, "Warrick man, I guess we better get to work, before Grissom has our butts."

"Oh, I didn't realize what time it was." Warrick said while looking at his watch.

"Call me if you need anything." Nick said as he gives Sara a peck on the lips, before leaning down and kissing her belly. "Bye little one daddy has to go to work, so he can buy you all kinds of toys." He says as he rubs her stomach gently. "Bye baby I love you." He stands back up and tells Sara while give her another kiss on the lips. "I love you too." She tells him.

"Call me if you need anything okay babe?" Warrick tells Catherine before kissing her lips. "Okay bye love you." She tells him as he too rubs his fiancés bulging stomach. "Love you" He tells her back as he turns around and walks out of the door behind Nick.

Catherine and Sara were walking through the aisles of the department store trying to decide how they wanted to decorate their nurseries.

"So Catherine what do you hope your baby is, a boy or a girl?" Sara asked as she began looking at the cribs.

"Well, I don't want to jinx it, but I hope I have a boy, I mean I already have Lindsey and since this is going to be my last baby I would like to have a boy. What about you?"

"It doesn't matter to me, but I think Nick is actually hoping for a girl. What about Warrick?"

Catherine laughed a little at Sara's statement before responding, "That is funny because that is what Warrick is hoping for too."

Sara laughed.

"Where is Lindsey anyways?" Sara asked as she began looking at the baby clothes.

"She is staying with my mother tonight." Catherine replied.

"How is she taking this whole baby thing?"

"I think she is a little jealous, being the only kid for 14 years she isn't taking it very well, but she'll get over it." Catherine responded.

Later that evening Catherine and Sara were tired of shopping so they decided to head back to Sara's house to get something to eat and watch a movie. When they pulled up in Sara's drive way they noticed Nick's Denali was already parked there.

"What is he doing home?" Sara said to herself as she parked her Denali behind his.

They both walked into the house to find Warrick and Nick sitting on the couch watching a football game.

"Hey ladies" Warrick greeted them as Catherine and Sara walked through the door and closed it behind them.

"Hey guys, what are you doing home?" Catherine asked as she placed her purse on the coat hanger next to Sara's front door.

"Well it was a slow night, I mean slow night, and Grissom told us to go home and that he would call us if he needed us."

"Oh" Sara said as she sat down slowly on Nick's lap.

"So did you buy some stuff for the nursery?" Nick asked as he began to rub her bulging stomach.

"A few things, but I want you to be with me when I buy the crib and when I pick out the wall paper and stuff." She said resting her head on his shoulder.

"Well maybe we can go look tomorrow." He told her as he kissed her.

"Are you ready to go home?" Warrick asked noticing Catherine looked a little run down.

"Yeah, I'm pretty tired." Catherine said with a yawn.

"Okay baby, let's go." Warrick said getting up from his seat on the couch.

"Catherine, I left the door unlocked if you would like to get your bags out." Sara said as she watched Catherine put her purse over her shoulder.

"Okay thanks Sara, I guess we will see you guys tomorrow" Catherine said as she followed Warrick out the door."

"Bye guys." Nick said as he watched them walk out.

"Bye" they responded as they closed the door.

"So you guys were slow tonight huh?" Sara asked as she got up from Nick's lap and headed towards the kitchen.

"Yeah, Warrick and I were actually helping dayshift, who was pulling a double shift; with one of their cases until Grissom told us to leave and that he would call us if they had anything." Nick said as he got up and followed Sara.

After Sara finishing drinking her glass of water she got from the frig she placed her glass in the sink and walked over towards Nick.

Without saying anything, she closed the space between them by kissing him passionately on the lips. Sara wanted something she hadn't had in a long time and that something was Nick.

As she kissed him she rubbed her hands up the back of his shirt. She then began placing open mouth kisses down his neck.

"Sara, stop" Nick said as he unwrapped Sara's arms from around his waist.

"I can't, no with you still being pregnant." Nick said as he rubbed her arms.

"Nick, the doctor said it was perfectly safe for us to have sex now, that everything is healed."

"I know, but I'm just scared, I don't want to hurt the baby." He said as he now rubbed her belly.

"Nick please, you're not going to hurt the baby."

It took Sara a few minutes to convince, Nick but before he knew it he gave in and was now being dragged to the bedroom by Sara.

When they reached the bedroom Sara began to undo his belt as she kissed him. After Nick was completely stripped, he started to take her clothes off. He started with her shirt slowly untying it from the back and pulling it over her head. He bent down a kissed her bare stomach before stripping her of her pants.

Sara playfully pushed Nick down on the bed, and climbed on top of him. "Please be careful." Nick said when he noticed her stomach was being pressed firmly against his.

"Don't worry so much." Sara whispered as she kissed his bare chest.

Sara rolled over at let Nick on top of her, when he knew she was ready her entered her slowly. Sara winced for a moment; it had been a while since she has felt Nick within her. He began moving his hips slowly.

They stared into each others eyes while they were making love. "I love you." Nick said breathlessly.

"I love you too Nicky."

Nick grabbed the head board with one hand as he pushed himself deeper within her. She moaned as he did this. He knew just what she liked.

Moments later the two of them had reached their intimate release and now were laying in each others arms.

"Thanks Nick" Sara said trying regain her breath.

"For what?" Nick said laughing at his fiancé's remark.

"For satisfying my craving." Sara said as she looked up and Nick and smiled.

"Oh you had a craving for me huh?"

"Yeah I have for like 3 months now." Sara told him.

Nick just laughed as he closed his eyes.

"Nick?"

"Hm?"

"Are you going to sleep?"

"Yeah probably why?" Nick asked as he opened one eye.

"Because I'm having another craving now."

"For what?"

"Chocolate ice cream with some salt and vinegar potato chips."

"Are you serious?" Nick said with a disgusted look on his face.

"Yeah, will you go get it for me?"

Nick rolled over and glanced at the clock, "Sara honey it is 11:30 at night, I don't think anything is open."

"I'm sure something's open, this is Vegas almost everything is open 24 hours."

Nick sighs heavily at Sara, who was now giving him a sad puppy dog look, before getting up and putting his clothes on.

"I love you." She said playfully.

"You should." Nick said also being playful.

"Come on, ride with me." Nick said as he began tugging at Sara's arm.

"Fine" she said as she got up and began getting dressed.

"You want to go for a ride boy?" Nick asks his yellow lab who had just entered the room.

Maverick barked in response.

The three of them got into the Denali and headed down the street. They drove around for 30 minutes before finding a little convenience store, Nick walked in a grabbed the things Sara wanted.

He watched her eat for a moment before saying, "I can't believe you are eating that."

"It's good. See the baby likes it." Sara said when she felt the baby move around.

Nick placed his hand on her stomach and started talking to his unborn child, "hey baby when you get out in the real world and get some teeth daddy will feed you the good stuff, like chicken."

"Sounds like the baby wants that too." Nick said after feeling the baby kick.

Sara just shook her head and smiled at Nick as she continued to eat her ice cream and potato chips.

Nick quickly kissed her on the cheek before turning on the engine and heading back to the house.
