An Apple a Day
Sara was now six months pregnant. She was losing her sense of balance, making it harder for her to get up. Her ankles and feet were beginning to swell. But she couldnt be happier. Nick was there for her every step of the way. Eveyday after work he was making her breakfast, rubbing her swollen feet, or just laying with her in bed until they both fell asleep in each others arms. Grissom barely ever sent Sara in the field anymore. And if he did it was only because it was an absolute emergancy or he was feeling nice. And today was no different. Grissom gave her a nice stack of of what Sara believed to be Grissom's paperwork. She was walking down the hall with her nice stack of paperwork. Nick was coming down the hall from the opposite way when he saw her.
"Hey, do you want me to take some of those?" Nick smiled
"Yeah" Sara said holding her arms out
Nick took the whole pile.
Sara smiled "You didnt have to take them all"
Nick began walking and returned the smile "Of I do, your my pregnant girlfriend"
Sara kept smiling,
When they got to there destination, Nick sat the case files on the table and helped Sara down on the couch. Then he plopped down next to her and wrapped his arms around her shoulder. Sara leaned against him and wrapped her arms around his back and waist. Then she rested her legs behind her on the couch. After ten minutes of cuddling, Sara finally spoke.
"As much as I like this, dont you have to go to work?"
Nick groaned "I wish I could stay here with you all day"
"Me? And all this paperwork?"
"Yup" he pressed a kiss on her temple, then her forehead, then her nose, then her lips.
Sara smiled "Go so you dont have to pull a double."
Nick smiled at her and pulled himself up. "Bye princess" then he bent over to her belly "Bye buddy, daddy loves you" then kissed her belly. He began to make his way to the door.
"Nicky?" Sara called out.
He turned around.
"Do you want to come to my doctors appointment tomorrow morning? We get the find out if were having a boy or a girl."
Nick was grinning ear to ear. "Really? I'de love to"
"Good, will you be able to meet me in the lockerrom at 8:00?"
"Yeah" Nick said smiling. Then went off to his DB with Warrick

A/N: Lots of smiling in this chapter if you havent notice :))
Nick was smiling when he got into the Tahoe with Warrick, he smiled as he talked to the responding officer, he smiled as he talked to Brass, and smiled as he processed the body. Warrick looked up at Nick.
"Why are you so happy?" he asked Nick.
Nick looked up at him, "Me and Sara are finding out the sex of the baby tomorrow morning.
"That's nice" Warrick said "You should get the team together and tell us when you find out"
"I dont think Grissom would like us using work time to.."
"Then we'll go out to breakfast"
Nick smiled "We weill if you guys arent already in bed, the appointment is after work."
"We'll stay up"
Nick smiled and looked don.
"Your face is gonna get stuck like that" Warrick said.

There Sara was in the lockerroom 8:00 sharp. Nick walked in the room.
"Hey" Nick said
Sara looked up "Hey"
Nick opened his locker and grabbed his things "Ready?"
"Yeah, but you seem kinda tired"
Nick yawned "Long shift, I'll wake up when I see the baby"
"Okay" Sara said skeptically
Nick pulled her up and they walked out.

Ten minutes later they pulled up to the OB office. They sat in the waiting room and waited for Sara's name to be called. Sara was nervously tapping her feet on the ground. Nick grabbed her hand.
"Nothing is wrong Sara"
She relaxed a little.
"Sara Sidle?" a nurse called
Nick helped Sara up and they were led into a room. A nurse walked in and smiled "Hi, Im Nurse Valez. I was sent to check your heart rate and blood pressure.
"Okay" Sara replied
She let the nurse stick the cold stethicope(idk how to spell it) up her back. Sara shivered.
"Okay, take deep breaths"
Sara did as she was told.
"Good girl"
The nurse then took her blood pressure"
"Okay your doctor should be with you shortly"
Sara nodded and the nurse walked out. Nick and Sara held hands and they waited in comfortable silence, Finally Sara's doctor , Dr. Mariden came in"
"Hello Sara" she chirped
"Hi" Sara said nervously
Dr. Mariden instructed Sara to unbutton and unzip her pants and lay back (get you minds out of the gutter!). Dr. Mariden rolled up Sara's shirt and put the cold gel on her belly. Then the image of a baby appeared on the screen. There baby. Sara and Nick were holding hands the whole time.
"Do you want to know what your having?"
"Yes" Sara and Nick said in unison.
The doctor smiled "Your having a baby girl"
They grinned with pride. They were going to have a baby girl. These past few months Sara warmed up to the idea of being a mother, while still being secretly terrified, and Nick just had that fatherly instinct to him. He would help her, there baby would have a great life. After a few more minutes of admiring there baby. They listened to the heartbeat.
"Everything seems great" Dr. Mariden said "I'll be right back with the babies pictures" she said wiping Sara's stomache clean. Then she went to get the pictures.
Sara looked over at Nick and smiled "Help me up"
Nick helped pull Sara into the sitting position. The doctor came back and handed them there pictures. The soon-to-be parents were smiling so hard it hurt. But they didnt know they would start off struggling to raise her.
