Chapter 19: Nesting
A/N: Okay I bumped Sara up to eight months pregnant in this chapter.
The CSI team was in the break room waiting for Grissom to come and hand out assignments. Sara got more and more days off as the arrival of the baby came closer and closer. Sara was 35 weeks along, but she refused to take a maternity leave. Even though it was awkward for her to maneuver around the lab or hell, even tie her shoe, she continued to work. Today was her day off.
"I think someone abducted Sara and gave me a new one" Nick said as he poured himself a cup of coffee.
"Why do you think that?" Warrick asked
"She's been freaking out lately and cleaning and moving furniture around and decorating all rooms of the house and doing all sorts of crazy things"
Nick was right Sara was freaking out at anyone and everyone. She screamed at Hodges for getting a drop of water on her shirt, yelled at Greg for not taking something she needed to the copier immediately, cried when Warrick told her they were out of doughnuts, and nearly ripped Grissom's head off when he gave her the paperwork for the day.
"Awww Nicky! She wasn't abducted! She's nesting!" Catherine said excitedly
Greg, Warrick and Nick turned and looked at her like she was speaking a different language.
"What's nesting?" Nick asked
Catherine smiled "It's an uncontrollable urge to clean and decorate your house as your due date is approaching"
"Well she's driving me crazy"
Right then Grissom walked in and handed out assignments

Sara was at home doing her "nesting" thing. She wanted to move the furniture around in the living room, but she was far too pregnant to be pushing around heavy furniture. So she called Nick up at work.
"Stokes"
"Hey"
"Hey what are you doing?" Nick asked
"I wanna move some stuff around in the living room"
"Crap" Nick mumbled "Sara the living room is fine; we don't need to move anything"
Catherine overheard what Nick said and began to laugh at Sara's nesting process.
"Nick, Jesus Christ this is the only thing I asked for! I mean seriously I'm not asking you for your arm! I just want to move some stuff around!..." Sara was lashing out at Nick for the third time this week.
"Okay, okay, okay Sara I'll do it when I get home"
Sara immediately brightened up and stopped yelling "Thank you baby can't wait 'til you get home"
"Bye Sara"
"Bye"
They hung up and he looked at Catherine "I can't wait until she has this baby"
""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""''"""""""
After shift Nick was tired and really didn't want to deal with Sara and her "nesting", but he loved her and he knew he had too. He walked into the living room to find Sara sleeping on the couch. He smiled and thanked God that he didn't have to re-arrange the living room. He put his keys in the dish on the coffee table and retrieved a cover from the living room closet and placed it on Sara. He walked into there bedroom and changed out of his work clothes. He sat on the edge on his bed and remembered the intimate night that he and Sara shared just eight months earlier.
He remembered sitting together passing a bottle of good wine back and forth, carrying her off to his bedroom, mind-blowing sex, the smell of sex in the air, cuddling up under the covers together after a passionate night, and how embarrassed Sara was when she woke up and tried to leave the scene before he woke up.
He laid back on his bed and put his hands under his head and closed his eyes. He lay there for several minutes and remained still she he heard footsteps approach him. He felt someone straddle his hips.
"Hey Sara" he said with his eyes still closed, he gently rested his hand on her belly.
"Hey Nicky" she leaned in and tried to kiss him, but her large belly prevented her from making it all the way down.
Nick opened his eyes held down Sara's hips leaned up and kissed her. She rolled off Nick and laid next to him. She caressed his face.
"You look tired"
"I am"
"We don't have to do that living room thing"
"Thank God"
"Today"
Nick moaned and turned towards her "Babe, the living room is fine we really don't have to do anything to it"
"I just don't like it" Sara pouted
"What do you want to change?"
"I don't know"
Nick half smiled and cuddled Sara in his arms, and then both fell asleep. Not caring about the living room.
Review!
Oh yeah and the story will be coming to an end soon I think I'll do another unplanned pregnancy story again though, but Nick will stick with her
Stay tuned for the next chapter!
