Chapter 3
Nick's Response
Sara's House
Nick just sat there letting everything Sara just told him sink in. He looked into her eyes and he saw, pain, betrayal, hope, love, uncertainty, and most of all scared. He held her hands between his and was rubbing the backs of her hands with his thumbs. He was shocked that Sara would be that open with him and that she asked for his help. He was happy that she felt she could open up to him like that and asked him something as heard as that.
He really needed to answer her before she thinks the worst. He looks straight into her eyes, smiles at her and starts his speech.
"Sar, you know that I would do anything for you and that I would be honoured to help you through your pregnancy and the labour and delivery, but I will never stop there, I will be there to help you when the baby is here."
Sara is smiling with tears in her eyes.
"Hey what are the water works for?"
"I am just so happy that you said yes."
"I wouldn't I say yes."
"So you will really be there."
"Yes, I will really be there, I will be there through everything, you got it, no doubts ok."
"Ok."
Nick shifts on the sofa so he is leaning against the arm rest and then he shifts Sara so she is leaning against his chest.
"Nick, please do not tell anyone at the lab, you and Grissom are the only ones that know I, want to wait until I start my second trimester to tell the rest of the team."
"Sara what ever you want ok."
"So you are a month and a half along and it is November, so your due data would be some time in August right."
"Yah"
Nick looks at her and smiles.
"Can I?"
"Yes"
Nick smiles then places his hand on her abdomen and starts to rub it.
"So when is your next appointment?"
"Three weeks"
"You'll come right"
"You bet"
"So you said you know what birthing method you want to do."
"Yah, I still have to talk to my doctor to see if it is ok for me to do it. I want to do a water birth."
"Sara that is a really good idea, it will be much better."
"Since when have you become an expert on birthing methods."
"Sar, I do have five sisters and a sister-in-law, it is not my first time being around a pregnant women, and my youngest sister, well the youngest before me, actually when she was 19 she became pregnant and I was her coach and she had a water birth as well and since then the rest of her children have been water births as well."
"Wow"
"How many children does she have?"
"Three"
"I knew before that water births are better because 1.it is les painful, 2.it is more relaxing for the mother, and 3.the father gets to be more involved in the birth."
Nick just looks at her with a smile on his face while his hand is still on her abdomen.
"What, why are you smiling like that?"
"Well you look really happy and I am just thinking that you will be a great mother, you are already so passionate about the baby."
"Well I am exited, but I could never do it with out you."
"You will never have to."
Sara smiles at him and puts her hand on top of Nick's on her abdomen.
Nick just smiles down at her.
Sara just yawns
"Hey lest get you two into bed, you are sleeping for two know."
"Yah, I have been really tired lately."
"Come on I will tuck you in."
Nick follows Sara into her room. She pulls the sheets down and climbs into bed.
"Ok, sweet dreams and I will see you latter."
Nick bends down, and places a kiss on her forehead.
"Don't go Nicky, please stay her with me."
"Ok."
Nick walk around to the other side of the bed. He lies down on his side and spoons up against Sara and puts his hand on her abdomen.
"Goodnight Nicky and thank you."
"Goodnight Sara."
