Friday
Sara was shaking. As she laced her fingers with Grissom's in the waiting room of the clinic he could feel it to.
"Everything will be fine." he reassured her as they waited to be called back.
"I know." she whispered, afraid if she rose her voice any higher it would give her away to everyone else. "It's just...surreal."
He smiled at her as the nurse called their name. They were lead back to a room consisting of an exam table, an ultrasound machine, and two other chairs.
"Okay Mrs. Grissom, just change into this and hop up on the table. Doctor Wilde will be with you in a few minutes." Sara took the gown from the nurse and quickly slipped it on after her and Grissom were alone. She was waiting impatiently as the doctor stepped in the room.
"Sara, right?" he asked with a smile. She nodded and tried her best to return his smile with one that was at least somewhat convincing.
"It's okay to be nervous, you wouldn't be the first. This is your first, right?" he asked as he pulled on gloves and booted up the machine.
"Yes, it is." Grissom answered for her as he took her hand. This got a genuine smile from his wife.
Wilde went through the procedure before he started. Once he got a clear image on the monitor, he looked up at them with a grin. "That's your baby. I'd say your about six weeks. I know it's hard to see anything now, but in a few months you'll be able to make him or her out. Any questions?"
Grissom slowly shook his head and Sara did the same. As he turned his attention back to his wife, he leaned down and kissed her softly on the lips.
"I'll leave you two alone." Wilde said with a smile, putting his instrument away and stripping off his gloves. "Just schedule your nest appointment with Jackie at the front desk before you leave."
"Thank you." Sara said without taking her eyes off of Grissom. "What was that for?" She asked as the door clicked shut.
"It was a thank you." he said softly, giving her another kiss.
Later That Afternoon
Catherine, with Brass in tow, stepped off the porch and onto the walkway as Grissom and Sara's car pulled up to the house. Sara had barely opened her door as Catherine began to ask questions.
"How did it go?"
"Just fine." Sara said with a smile as she stepped out of the vehicle. "He said I'm about six weeks, things look good, and I go back next month." She quickly said before Catherine had the chance to ask.
"Thats wonderful sweetheart." Brass chimed in, pulling her into a hug. He then turned to Grissom and said, "Way to go pal, now you're in for it." he joked before heading back to the house.
That night they ate at one of the best restaurants in the city, right on the banks of the river. They discussed their near future plans and Catherine was more than willing to offer suggestions. The next morning, Grissom and Sara followed them to the airport to see them off.
"You promise to keep me updated?" Catherine asked as the boarding call for the plane was being announced.
"I promise." answered Sara.
"But we'll only keep our end of this promise if you don't tell Nick or Greg." Grissom added.
"Done deal." Brass said.
They then looked at Catherine, an incentive to promise herself.
She sighed. "My lips are sealed."
They exchanged hugs and Sara swore she saw a tear gleam in Catherine's eye as she turned to wave once more.
At home that night, as they lie in bed watching a movie, Sara turned to Grissom.
"I guess we'll have to start turning one of those rooms into a nursery."
"I suppose so." he answered, kissing her forehead. "And we'll need to go shopping."
"Right." She responded. Shopping was never one of her favorite things to do.
