Chapter 11: My friend

The team was waiting fir Grissom to arrive and the shift to start. A week had passed since Nick and Sara's run-in while Sara was processing the shirt. If things werent akward enough between them, that was the icing on the cake.

"So Nick how's it going with your new girl?"

"Well she's not really 'new' but it's going fine"

Sara's heart sank. She knew the rest of the team was trying to get information for her, but did she have to be in the room?

"Are you sure?" Greg urged

"Well she proposed to me last night" Nick started

Sara grabbed Gregs hand. He squeezed it back.

"Did you say yes?" Catherine asked

"Of course I did. We went to the chapel last night and-" Nick started but Sara didnt hear the end The bile in her throat was reaching the top. She started rushing to the bathroom. Unfortanetly Grissom came in the breakroom, blocking the exit at the same time Sara tried to get out. She gripped both of his arms trying to stop herself from crashing into him. But at the same time she looked down and threw up all over Grissom's shoes and the bottom of his pants. When she was done she was crying, telling him how sorry she was, gasping between sobs.

"Sara I want you in my office in 10 minutes, please rid yourself of all bile" Grissom walked over dropped the assignments on the table and left to go shower. Sara left to go to the bathroom. After they both left no one said a word.

Grissom dreaded Sara's arrival. Maybe because he was afraid she would throw up on him again. When Sara arrived, her face was as white as powder and had bags under her eyes. As soon as she sat down Grissom started talking.

"Sara, I understand your pregnant. but that was just. Disgusting. I think your too stressed to work between Nick and your baby, so i'm putting you on a two weeks leave of absense and banning you from the field. Trust me you'll thank me later"

"Okay" Sara said weakly. She pushed herself up. And left his office.

A few hours later...

The team was all in the breakroom. Catherine was the first to talk.

"So Nicky, if your married where's your wedding ring?"

Everyone looked at Nick's hand.

"I didnt get to finish earlier"

"Well no ones stopping you now, shoot" Greg said

"She asked me to marry her..."

"Cheesy" Greg interupped. Nick shot him a glare. "Sorry, continue"

"Anyways, we went to the chapel and I got cold feet. I realized I loved someone else"

Warrick groaned "Not another girlfriend"

"No, I realized I love Sara"

Everyone stopped what they were and smiled Nick's ways.

"Thats what we wanted to hear" Catherine smiled

*"*"*"""*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"**"*"*"*"**"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*

Sara's two week of absense was up and she was back and feeling better. She was going into the locker room when she saw Nick. And suprisingly wasnt nervous. Nick's foot was on the bench tying his shoe.

"Hey" Sara said in the doorway.

A huge smile crossed Nick's face when he saw Sara. He scanned her body and saw her belly had gotten bigger since she was now 5 months along.

"Hey, are you feeling better?" Nicked asked standing up straight.

"Yeah i'm feeling great" Sara said walking into the locker room. Sara had been working up the courage to ask Nick this question for two weeks "So how was the wedding?"

"I didnt go through with it"

Sara's heart lept "Why not" she asked casually.

Nick sat down on the bench and patted the spot next to him "Sit with me"

Sara walked further into the locker room put her hand on her belly and the other on the bench and lowered herself down. When she was settled Nick began talking.

"Sara I didnt marry Selena because I love you, and I dont want you to raise our baby alone and I understand if you dont want me. I wouldnt want me either. But lets raise this baby together."

Sara took in everything Nick just said then spoke "Your right Nick I dont want you, but I do want this baby to have a father. So we can start there and move forward."

Even though Nick had a feeling Sara would reject him, he had a stronger feeling they'de be together.

"So were just friends?" Nick aske sounding more like a statement than a question.

"With a baby on the way" Sara smiled

"With a baby on the way" Nick repeated disappointed

TOLD YOU IT GET BETTER! heheheh Selena is gone people! Review!
