As Sara finished dinner, Grissom walked in the house with a grin on his face.
"What?" She asked cautiously.
"I got a job at Boston College" he said brightly.
Sara quickly smiled and pulled him into a hug as he was about to do the same. "What department?"
He gently kissed her. "Environmental mainly, but one of the focuses of study is entomology."
"That's great, suits you well."
"So you're happy for me?"
"Thrilled." She said with a grin. One more kiss and she returned to her work.
"Whens your first day?" she asked after dinner.
"A week from today."
She frowned. "You know I have an appointment that day."
Grissom looked dumbstruck. "I must have forgot. I can...try to get away."
She smiled. And it was genuine. "It's fine, it's only routine. I'll get you a picture." She then went upstairs.
Grissom joined her. "Are you upset with me?"
"No. There's no sense in that. You have to do what you have you have to do." She turned to face him. "Like I said, it's only routine. The only need for you there was if something was wrong."
Grissom pulled her to him again. "I am sorry. I should have remembered."
One Week Later
Sara lie on the table as the technician tried to focus on the baby. She couldn't help but wonder about Grissom. He seems so upset that morning about not being able to be with her. It really wasn't a big deal, she didn't think so. There would be bigger events than this in the near future he would be more obligated to attend.
"Got it." the technician said. "Do you know what it is?" she asked with a smile.
Sara stared breathlessly at the monitor. She swallowed the lump in her throat and shook her head. "No."
"Want to know?"
Sara thought carefully about it. She knew Grissom didn't, and that alone was enough.
She slowly shook her head again. "Not if my husband doesn't." She said slowly. This was one surprise she would force herself to wait for.
Sara pulled into the drive an hour later. They had bought her a new Prius over the weekend to replace the one she had in Vegas only because Grissom needed his for work.
She was stunned when she saw Nick and Greg waiting for her on the porch. She took off her jacket and folded it over her arm, making sure to hide her stomach as she stepped around the car and met them on the steps.
"Wha... what are you two doing here so early?" Sara almost stammered.
"Well 'hey guys, great to see you' was what we were looking for." Greg said with a smile.
"Sorry." She said with a sympathetic smile.
"Shouldn't you be wearing that? It has to be what, forty degrees out here. And wheres the bug man?" Nick asked, looking at her jacket.
"I feel fine. He's at work"
They both looked confused.
"The college." She said slowly. "He's teaching a course in entomology." she grinned at them before adding. "Why don't we step inside. I'm starting to feel the chill."
As Sara stepped in front of the door began to unlock it, an envelope fell from her jacket, which Greg was quick to pick up without her realizing. Nick gave him a cautious look that he ignored and pulled out the contents. Both of their jaws dropped.
"Um, Sara?"
"Yeah?" she replied, finding the right key and pushing the door open.
"What's this?" he asked, holding the sonogram for her to see once she turned around.
Her eyes grew wide as she snatched it from him. "We going to tell you together. When you got here a week from now." said Sara. She ushered them inside.
"I guess we have a lot to catch up on." said Nick once they set their bags down by the door.
Sara smirked. "I guess we do."
