Two days later Sara was trying to get comfortable, as she waited for her doctor.
Although she felt exposed in the gown, she had a feeling of anticipation come over her.
Seeing Doctor Samantha Jones walk in with a smile, Sara was put at ease.
After the necessary tests were undertaken, Sara smiled as the doctor started to set up the ultra sound machine.
Sara was momentarily taken aback by the cold jelly squeezed onto her belly, but instantly forgot about it when she saw the picture on screen.
Looking where Doctor Jones pointed, Sara felt tears come into her eyes as she saw her baby for the first time.
"Is it a boy or a girl?" Sara asked, enchanted by what she was looking at.
Sara looked up at the doctor, as she shook her head, "It's a bit early to determine the baby's sex, but I will put a note of your file that you would like to know."
"I will print a picture so you can take it home and next time we do a scan if you bring a blank DVD, we can make a video of it for you," she said.
Smiling again, Sara accepted some tissues to wipe her belly and then got dressed.
Sitting down to talk to the doctor, Sara happily accepted the titles of some books she should think about buying where many of her questions could be answered.
Thanking the doctor again, Sara walked out to the reception to make another appointment for the following month.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Deciding to invest in some books, Sara drove to mall. She only had a few hours to kill before work started, so she decided to treat herself to some retail therapy.
Walking in and seeing a photo shop, she decided to have a copy of the picture the doctor printed out for Grissom.
She was still unsure of his feelings on the matter, but wanted to send him the picture as a sign of goodwill.
Walking out with her purchase, Sara suddenly saw a baby boutique and decided to walk in.
Sara was excited about her baby, but was still unsure if she would be a good mother.
Smiling at the many dresses and outfits, she saw a shop assistant walk over.
"Is it your first?" the middle aged woman asked
"How did you know?" Sara asked, with a smile
"Well apart from your huge grin, you have a wonderful glow," the sales clerk replied.
Feeling herself go pink, Sara was touched to receive a complement from a stranger.
Happily following the woman around the store, Sara picked up some different clothes and items and a helpful list of things she should buy not knowing what a baby might need.
Walking out of the store with her purchases, Sara was on cloud nine and continued along to the book store.
---------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------
Sofia was not able to sleep out of frustration and the fact that she needed something to entice Grissom with, so she decided to buy a new outfit.
Sofia had not been able to think of anything else she could do and knew the way Grissom had looked at her in the elevator when they first met meant she needed something skimpy.
Having looked in half a dozen stores, she considered dressing like Sara for a second thinking her poor dress sense had got Grissom into bed.
Quickly pushing that thought out of head, Sofia held her head up high – she was not going to make her good looks suffer.
Wondering where else to look, Sofia suddenly saw Sara in the baby boutique.
Intrigued as to why Sara would be in the store, she thought she might be buying a gift for a friend.
Hiding behind a plant, Sofia suddenly realized Sara was pregnant seeing Sara show the shop assistant pictures of what must be her baby.
Walking away Sofia was fuming.
The slut had got herself pregnant and she was going to use this to get Grissom.
Getting into her car and slamming the door, Sofia suddenly started laughing knowing she had a new plan of attack.
------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------
Walking around the book store, Sara was simply wasting time after picking up some pregnancy books suggested by Doctor Jones when she found herself in the children's section.
Looking at the many books, she suddenly saw one of her favorite books as a child.
Picking up Anne of Green Gables, she smiled remembering how she had first read the book in foster care.
She had fallen in love with the story of Anne and her searches for a family and had felt not so alone knowing there were other children like her.
Adding the book to her pile, she smiled thinking that she could read it to her baby.
-------------------------------------------------------------
After grabbing something to eat, Sara headed off to the lab.
Putting her things away in her locker, Sara made her way to Catherine's office knowing she wanted to see the picture.
Both cooing and smiling at the picture Sara and Catherine did not see Nick walk in.
Walking up behind them the friendly Texan started talking making the woman jump back slightly.
"Who's baby?" He said, smiling.
Catherine started coughing, as she looked at Sara.
"Um, it's mine, I'm pregnant." Sara said smiling.
"Sara, congratulations, I didn't know you were seeing anyone?" Nick said before grabbing Sara in a hug.
Hugging back, Sara groaned as she heard Warwick who had just walked in the room.
Turning around Sara happily accepted another hug before sitting down.
"So, who's the dad?" Warwick asked
Not wanting to answer, she was relieved when Catherine called them to attention and gave them their assignments.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Finishing work, Sara went to her locker and grabbed her bag.
Walking into the hall, Sara breathed out as she saw Grissom.
Seeing him stare at her, she thought she could see longing in his eyes, but quickly looked away as she saw Sofia walk up to him.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Driving to Grissom's town house, Sara reached for her bag and fished out the photo of their baby.
Putting it into an envelope Sara re-read the letter she had written on her break.
"Gil,
I am not sure where you are in terms of the baby, but I thought you should have a copy of my first scan."
The doctor said I could have a video of the next one and if you are interested, I will get a copy made for you.
I hope you are happy with the choices you have made.
Sara"
Sighing again, Sara opened her door and walked up to his letter box, not wanting to leave the letter or picture at work in case Sofia found it.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I feel the story is moving a little bit slowly at the moment ... but I now have a plan of attack!
