Boxes and Breakfast
Nick and Sara were leaving the doctors office with smiles in their faces. Yes Sara was still horrified at the prospect of being a mother and Nick was still skeptical of the idea too, but they had each other to lean on.
"Hey Warrick are you still at the lab?" Nick asked on the phone.
"Yeah everyone's here except for Grissom, were all waiting for you"
Nick smiled "Tell them to meet us at the usual place we go out for breakfast"
"Yeah" Warrick said the hung up
Nick turned to Sara "The team wants to know what were having"
"Okay' Sara said staring at the pictures as they walked to the car
Nick opened the door for Sara and helped her in. When Nick began driving, all Sara did was rub her belly and stare at the photo's thinking about what kind of mother she would be to her little girl. Once they arrived Nick hopped out of the car and helped Sara out. They walked into the restaurant and spotted them instantly. They walked to them and sat down.
"So?" Catherine asked
Sara put the pictures on the table and everyone dove for them. Catherine got to them first.
"What are you having? Greg asked
"A girl" Catherine responded
"How do you know?"
"I can tell by the pictures"
Greg turned to the couple, "You are?"
They smiled and answered simultaneously "Yeah"
"Congratulations" Warrick patted Nick on the back
"Thanks man"
Finally the waitress came over and took there orders.
"I'll just have a coffee" Catherine stated
"Same as her" Warrick said
"Pancakes and sausage" Greg said
"Waffles and a coffee" Nick said
"Well I'll have the waffles, is there anyway you can put three meals together? Because I think I'll have the French toast, waffles and pancakes together with scrambled eggs, hash brown and toast. Bring out extra jelly, butter and syrup with that, oh and I'll have an orange juice with that." Sara looked up.
"Dam girl you ordered enough food for the whole lab" Warrick remarked
Sara politely smiled at him, "I'm eating for two"
After breakfast Nick took Sara back to his house. They laid down on his couch for a bit. Nick made sure she was as comfortable as possible. After about thirty minutes of rest Nick finally spoke.
"Sara?"
"Mmm?"
"Are you awake"
"No I'm talking in my sleep'
"I want to show you something"
"Babe I'm tired"
It'll only be a minute, then I'll let you lay down in my bed"
Sara rolled off of Nick, rubbed her eyes, and yawned. Nick wrapped his arm around Sara's waist.
"You don't have to hold me"
"I want to" Nick said walking beginning to walk behind her.
They walked to a room with the door closed. Nick put one of his hands over her eyes.
"Ready?"
"Yeah"
He opened the door with his free hand and led her in the room letting the hand covering her eyes drop down to her belly, then rested the one on the doorknob on her belly too.
"Do you like it?"
Sara looked around and smiled. "I love it"
Nick had turned his spare into a nursery. There was a little crib still in the box, a changing table half set up, a portable bassinet, a hand carved toy chest, and a yellow rocking chair in the corner. The walls were painted white.
"I know it's bland but I didn't want to set up shop without knowing what were having" Nick rubbed her stomach.
"I absolutely love it, whether it's done or not" Sara turned around and kissed him. When they pulled away they smiled at each other.
"One more question Sara"
"Yes?"
"Will you Sara Sidle move in with me?
This time Sara jumped in his arms and buried her face into his shoulder.
"Yes, yes, yes I will!'
Nick spun her around "I love you"
"I love you too Nicky"
Nick, Greg and Warrick had helped Sara move into Nick's house, and they were just moving in the last boxes.
"Nice place you got here Nick" Warrick said walking into the kitchen grabbing a beer.
"Thanks" Nick responded lifting some of Sara's boxes up on the table.
"Where is Sara?" Greg asked
"She's sleeping so quiet down"
"Sidle? Sleeping? I don't think so." Greg laughed
"Pregnancy will do that to ya Greggo" Warrick said walking out of the kitchen.
"I guess so" Greg said picking over some of Sara's stuff.
"So Nick, are you excited? About your whole little family being here?" Warrick asked
"Hell yeah, you don't know the feeling" Nick smiled.
Greg's cellphone went off "Sanders" he listened for a bit, "Okay I'll be right there". Greg hung up and groaned. "Got called into work, gotta go, call me if you need me okay?"
"Yeah thanks Greg"
As soon as the door closed, Warrick sat down "So how did you get here?"
"Here?"
"With child, with Sara, ya know?"
Nick sighed and told him the whole story from the beginning.
