Chapter 2

Telling Nick

Break Room

Back in the break room everyone was wondering what was so important that Sara had to talk to Grissom in his office.

"Grissom said that she was late because she had a doctor's appointment, do you think something is wrong, Greg asked."

"I know how much we all care for Sara, but you know her, she can be really stubborn and she will tell us if there is something wrong when she is ready, and for now all we need to do to is care for her treat her the same as you have been and just watch out for her, Catherine said."

"Ok" all three of the guys said in unison.

Later that night.

Nick and Sara are working on a case together and they just arrived back at the Lab.

"Sar I will meet you in the break room I am just going to put these things into evidence."

"Ok, see you soon."

5 minutes later.

Sara was sitting in the break room and sipping water from her bottle when Nick came in.

"Hey, Sar how was your day, you said last night you were meeting up with a friend, how was that."

"What, Sara said, she had not fully heard what Nick had said, and she was deep in thought about how her life will be changing in a few short months.

"Sara did you hear anything that I just said?"

"Sorry Nick I was just deep in thought about something."

"Care to share?"

"Not right now but thanks Nick for always making me feel like I can come talk to you when I really need to."

"I am always here Sar when ever you ever need me; you know were you can find me.

Nick got up from the chair he was sitting on and goes over and gives Sara a hug.

Sara's House

After shift Sara went home made herself some breakfast and then changed in to her sweats and went to sleep.

She woke up around 1:00pm and saw she had some time before she had to go in to work so she thought she would do some research on the computer about pregnancies. She went to many sites. She went to a baby names site, a sit about different birthing methods, what she will need for the baby, and over all how the pregnancy will affect her.

She narrowed down her name search to just a few names and she decided she wants to have a water birth, but she will still have to talk to her doctor about that to make sure it's the right method for her.

She also read that the pregnancy will go smoother if she has a partner to help her through the nine months and the labour and delivery. She was really scared, all this information was really over whelming her and she started to cry.

She thought about all her friends and how much they care and love her, and then Nick popped into her head.

"May be I can ask Nick to help me, he will support me, not like the others will not, but I have a special bond between Nick. I will talk to him tonight."

Later that Night

Sara was running a bit late due to that she was getting morning sickness, even tough it was in the evening.

She walks into the break room where the rest of the team is.

"Griss, I am so sorry that I am late."

"That's fine Sara do not worry about it."

"Grissom, I know that I am late, but would you mind if I steal Nick, I really need to talk to him so you can just put us on the same case, then after we finish talking we can leave for the crime scene if need be."

"That's fine Sara, take your time."

"Sara"

"Yah, Griss"

"Before you steal Nick away can I just have a word with you."

"Ok, Griss"

"Nick I will meet you in the locker room."

"Ok, see you soon"

Grisom's Office

"How are you feeling today, Sara?"

"Good, besides the morning sickness when it is not even morning."

"It happens, but it is all for a reason."

Sara just smiles

"I did some research today and I have decided on my birthing method, I decided on a water birth, and I also read it is easier during the pregnancy and the labour and delivery, if I have a partner, so that is way I want to talk to Nick."

"Sara, I am vary proud of how you are dealing with this and 1. I think a water birth is a vary good idea, and 2.asking Nick to be our partner in this is really good, he will be there and support you through everything. Not that the rest of the team will not, we will also be behind you 100, but reading up on pregnancies and letting yourself ask for help, in something as hard has this is big step and as I said before I am so proud of you."

By now Sara has tears in her eyes

"Grissom, thank you so much for that, I really needed to hear that."

Sara goes over and gives Grissom a huge.

Grissom lifts up her head, so he can look in to her eyes, "Sara you will be a wonderful mother and Nick is a really good guy and he would be honoured to help you."

"Thanks, Gris, for everything." She gives him a smile and walks out the door to meet up with Nick.

Locker Room

In the mean time Nick is waiting in the locker room for Sara and is wondering what is so important that she asked to talk to him and talk to him before they leave for their crime scene. He is starting to get worried because Grissiom told her to take her time. Just as that thought went through his mind Sara walked into the locker room.

"Hey, Sorry I took so long, I just needed to talk to Grissom, and so are you ready?"

"Yes lest go"

"Ok, we are going to my apartment if that is ok with you?"

"I thought we would just talk then go to our crime scene, if we have one."

"Grissom knows where we are going be, if he needs us he can page us."

"Ok, your house it is."

Sara's House

Sara and Nick arrive at Sara's house, she unlocks her door and puts away her things.

"Make yourself at home, I am just going to change into my sweats and I will be right back.

"Ok"

2 minutes later Sara is back in the living room with a pair of grey sweat pants and a white tank top on.

"You want any thing to drink Nick?"

"Sure, just some water is fine."

Sara goes to her fridge and takes out twos water bottles, she hands one over to Nick. She sits down on the sofa next to Nick and is facing him.

"Sara is there something wrong, did something happen to you, please you are scaring me Sara."

"Nicky, I am fine and there is nothing wrong with me. You just need to let me get through with what I what to tell you and then you can ask as many questions that you want and it is a bit heard to say so sorry if it takes a bit longer then it should."

"Sara, take all the time you need I am not going any where."

Sara takes a deep breath and holds on to Nicks hands and tears starts to form in her eyes.

"Sara"

"I am fine, just a little bit hard to tell you then I thought, but I can do it."

"Ok, I am ready."

"I am here and I am listening."

"Ok, here it goes."

"About a month ago I found my boyfriend cheating on me, I caught them in the act and while he was still in her, and he turned to me and he said "I think we should break up. Well I thought that was the end of my worries until now. A couple of days ago I found out I was pregnant, a month and a half along.

Nick just sat there and listened to her tell her story with the most caring eyes.

"The other day I was doing some research on the computer. I looked into every thing. Down to the birthing method I want to do to names I have picked out. I read that it is much easer during the pregnancy and the labour and delivery if the mother-to-be has a partner. I started getting really scared because I was not sure if I can do it, but then your words came to mean and then all the thinks we have done together since we first met and I knew that I wanted you and only you to be my partner."

Sara finished her story and just looked at Nick and what his reaction would be.
