Chapter 2
Nick and Sara walked back into the restaurant and back to their table were the rest of the team was waiting.
"Hey guys, I am sorry about that, I just need some fresh air and lost track of time."
"That's fine, just glad you rejoined us, know lets get back to our celebration."
The team spent the rest of the night celebrating and just spending time together.
A couple of weeks had passed and Sara was walking toward Grissom's office. She knocked on the door and waited until she heard that she could come in.
"Come in" Grissom said still looking down at the paper on his desk. Sara sat down in the chair opposite the desk. The Grissom looked up to see who had entered his office.
"Sara hi, what can I do for you?"
"I want to take a leave of absents."
"For how long Sara?"
"Eight months."
"Sara is everything ok. Why do you want to take of for so many months?"
"Yah everything is fine, but something has come up that I have to take care of and it will take me awhile to short everything out."
"Ok. When do you want to start your leave?"
"As so as possible."
"You can start right now if you want to."
"Thanks Grissom. I will call you and tell you exactly when I will be back."
"Ok Sara that will be fine but take your time."
"Thanks Grissom. I will see you in eight months."
"See you in eight months Sara."
Sara walked out of Grissom's office and went to look for Nick.
She found him in the locker room getting ready for shift.
"Nick hey."
"Sara. Hi how are you doing?"
"Good. I just came back from taking to Grissom. I am taking a eight month leave, and no I did not tell him."
"This is what you really want?"
"Yah it is."
"Ok what ever you want babe."
"Thanks Nick. I am starting my leave tonight so I am just getting stuff from my locker."
"Ok well I will come by after shift ok."
"Ok see you later." Before Sara left she placed a soft kiss on Nick's lips.
Sara was walking out of the lock room when she heard Nick say something.
"I love you Sara."
Sara turned around.
"I love you too Nick." Sara smiled at Nick then walked out of the room.
Later that day Nick arrived at Sara's apartment and let him self in. He walked in to the bed room and saw Sara was sleeping. Nick striped down to his boxers and slipped in to bed next to Sara and rapped his arms around her and feel asleep him self. Sara woke up about a few hours later and turned around to see Nick looking at her.
"Hey there cowboy, when did you get in?"
"A few hours ago. I did not want to wake you up."
"Sara can I ask you something?"
"Sure babe anything."
"Sara I now that we have only been dating for two weeks but I love you and I love this baby, so Sara Sidle will you marry me?"
Sara looked at Nick with tears in her eyes. All she could do was node her head yes.
Nick smiled at her and placed a kiss on her head. He leaned over and took something out of his pants. He turned back toward Sara and opened the ring box to show her the ring. It was a white gold band with a emerald cut diamond in the middle and two emerald cut diamonds on either sides. Nick took the ring out of the box and slipped it on Sara's left ring finger.
Sara looked from Nick to the ring.
Sara chocked out "Nick it's beautiful."
"Well you are even more beautiful."
"Nick when do you want to get married?"
"When ever you want, but I was thinking that you probable would not want to show when we get married, so why don't we get married at city hall?"
"I love that idea Nick, but when?"
"How about today?"
"Really today?"
"Sure why not. There nothing like the present."
"Ok we are getting married today."
Nick and Sara were on their way to city hall to get married. They arrived at city hall they went to get their marriage licences then they were waiting for the justice of the peace.
The Justice of the peace walked into the room and they got the ceremony under way.
"Nick do you take Sara to be you're lawfully wedded wife, in sickness and in health, for richer or poorer, forsaking all others until death do you part."
"Yes."
"Sara do you take Nick to be you're lawfully wedded husband, in sickness and in health, for richer or poorer, forsaking all others until death do you part."
"Yes."
"Now the exchange of the rings. Nick repeat after me. With this ring I thee wed."
"With this ring I thee wed." Nick slipped the ring on Sara's finger.
"Sara repeat after me. With this ring I thee wed."
"With this ring I thee wed."
"By the power invested in me by god and the state of Nevada I now pronounce you man and wife you may now kiss the bride.
Nick leaned forward and placed a soft kiss on her lips.
They headed home so they could have a nap before Nick at to go into work for the night.
A few months have passed and Sara is noticeable pregnant. Sara and Nick found out that they were having a girl. They were lying in bad thinking of names. Nick was hold the baby book in one hand and his other hand was on top of Sara's on her abdomen. Nick was reading lists of names and what their meanings are and what origin it is from.
"How about the name Madison, it is an English name and it means Son of Matthew."
"Nope, next one."
"Ok, how about Jordan, it is a Hebrew name and it means to flow down."
"I like that name but for a boy."
"Ok, how about Melissa it is a Greek name and it means honey bee."
"Nope."
"Ok, How about Sadie, it is an English name and it means princess."
"I like that one Nick."
"Ok Sadie know a middle name."
"How about Eva, it is a Hebrew name and it means Giver of Life."
"Nick I love that name, Sadie Eva Stokes."
"I love it to Sara." Nick placed a kiss on Sara's lips then he placed a kiss on her abdomen and started to rub it.
"You like that name Sadie."
Both Nick and Sara felt the baby kicking.
"Well it seems our little one likes that name."
"I guess she dose."
"I cannot believe that in three months we will be able to hold her in our arms."
"Me neither Nicky."
"So how is everything at the lab?"
"Everything is good; it is not the same without you. Everyone is always asking about you and if anyone has heard from you or not so it is heard for me to stay quite."
"Well only five more months left until I go back."
"I think everyone will be happy once you return."
"No one has noticed that you have a new ring on your right ring finger?"
"No they have not but I miss wearing it on the right finger when I am at work."
"In time."
"You bet babe."
Nick and Sara fell asleep in each other's arms.
Three months later…
Sara was lying in a hospital bed; she had just gone into labour a couple of hours ago. Nick was sitting beside her and holding her hand.
Her contractions are five minutes apart and she has only three more centimetres to go until she is completely dilated.
"Hey Sara, how are you feeling baby?"
"Ok I guess, I just really want to see her."
"Me too. She will be with us vary soon ok." Nick leaned down and placed a kiss on her forehead. Right after he had finished placing the kiss on her forehead she started to have another contraction. She grabbed Nick's hand.
"Sar, just breath and it will be finished soon." Nick was soothing her and whispering words of encouragement in her ear.
An hour later…
Sara was lying in her hospital bed while holding a pick bundle in her arms with Nick sitting beside her.
"Hey there baby girl, I am so glad you are here with us."
Nick just looked at Sara interacting with their daughter.
"Nick you want to hold her?"
"Sure."
Sara handed Sadie over to Nick.
"Hey there princess, you are so beautiful, just like your mommy."
Sara looked at Nick holding their baby daughter in his arms.
After awhile Nick had to head to work but was going to come pick them up later in the morning to bring them back home.
Two months went by really fast and before Nick and Sara new it; it was time for Sara to return to work. They had found a college student that would take care of Sadie for them. Sara was getting ready to go to work. She had transferred her wedding rings on to her right hand like Nick does for work. She left after Nick to make sure that the sitter was fine with Sadie. Sara kissed Sadie just like Nick did before she was off to work.
Sara entered the crime lab for the first time in eight months. She was glad to be back at work but she really miss her baby. She walked in to the break room where the rest of the team were.
She stood at the door way and saw her friends talking and goofing off.
"Anything exiting happen while I was away? Sara said to make her self known.
Everyone looked up and saw Sara standing in the break room with a big smile on her face.
Warrick got up and pulled her into a hug and spun her around.
"Hey girl I am so glad you are back." Warrick pulled away to look at her.
"Girl you look wonderful, you are glowing. Did you just go on a long vacation
and not tell us?"
"Nope, have been in Las Vegas this whole time."
"Well, I like this Sara."
"Well I like her too."
The next one up was Greg.
"Hey there beautiful and Warrick is right you are glowing." He gave her a hug and a peck on the check.
"Good to have you back Sara."
"Good to be back."
Cath was next.
"Hey there Sar, you do look wonderful I might say as well."
"Thanks Cath."
Cath gave her a hug.
Grissom was next.
"Welcome back Sara."
"Thanks Grissom."
Last but not least it was Nick's turn.
"Welcome back Sar, it was not the same without you."
"Thanks Nicky."
Nick leaned in towards Sara and whispered in her ear.
"You are glowing and I now why."
"NICK!" Sara pushed him away.
"I have been here five minutes and you already are talking to me like that."
"Well that's how much I've missed you."
"Well I am glad to know. Now lets get to work."
"Well Sara we have no cases right now so why don't we just all catch up until we gaet new cases."
"Ok."
"So Cath how is Lindsey doing?"
"She is doing really good."
"That's good
"So Sara those are new." Cath said pointing to her rings on her right hand.
"These were my grandmother's wedding rings and she gave them to me before she died. I found them a few months ago. I could not find them since I moved to Vegas."
"Well they are beautiful."
"Thanks."
Sara's cell phone starts to ring.
"This is Sara Sidle."
"Sara this is Kelly"
"Hi Kelly, is everything alright?"
"Yah everything is just fine, Sadie's is wonderful."
"Thanks."
"I just wanted to know if I can walk with her around the block. She is not sleeping so I thought that fresh air would help her sleep."
"Sure no problem Kelly."
"Ok see you later Sara."
"Ok bye."
Sara hung up the phone.
"Sara is everything ok?" Nick asked.
"Yah everything is just fine, just a friend calling to ask me a question."
"Ok."
Sara went to the locker room to put her stuff in her lock. Nick followed her in.
"Hey Sara, what is Kelly want to ask you. Is Sadie ok?"
"Yah Sadie is fine; she wanted to ask me if she could take Sadie around the block since she is not sleeping. She is really on my sleep time isn't she."
"Well she is her mother's daughter."
"Vary funny Nick."
"Thanks I think so."
Sara looked around then placed a quick kiss on Nick lips.
"I miss you."
"I miss you too."
"I miss our baby."
"I miss her as well, but we will see her in no time Sara."
"I know it is just hard to leave her."
"I know, I had to leave he as well."
Nick gave Sara a kiss then left the locker room and join everyone else in the break room once again.
Five months had passed and Sadie is seven months old. She is Sara and Nick's pride and joy.
Sara and Nick arrived home after a long double shift. All Sara wanted to do was see her daughter and go to sleep in her husband's arms, but her stomach had other plans. She was leaning over the toilet throwing up Nick came into the bathroom after coming from Sadie's room.
"Hey Sara, are you ok?" Nick bent down and pulled up Sara's hair and rubbed her back.
"Yah I am fine." Sara said after she had finished.
"Sara you have been like this for two weeks, I think you should go to the doctor."
"I did Nick."
"When?"
"A couple of days ago when you took Sadie out to the park."
"Ok what did the doctor say?"
"Nick way don't you come with me." Sara brought Nick into their room she sat on the bed with Nick beside her. She handed Nick a gift.
"Sara what is this and how does it explain why you are not feeling well?"
"Just open it Nick."
Sara by now had laid down on the bed with Nick sitting beside her.
Nick unwrapped the present. Inside there was a frame and in the frame there was an ultrasound picture. Nick looked at Sara. Sara took Nick's hand that was not holding the frame and put it on her abdomen.
"We're having another baby?"
"Yes Nick we are in seven months we are going to have another baby."
"Sara this is great I cannot believe we are going to have another baby. Thank you."
"Thank you for what?"
"For giving me two beautiful children."
Nick bent down and placed a kiss on Sara's head.
"Nick, I am still not ready to tell the team about any of this. It is not that I am ashamed or anything like that, I love you so much and I love Sadie and this one that is on it's way, it's just that it feels really good to keep this separate from work. Don't get me wrong I love the guys at work it's just..."
Nick leaned down and placed a kiss on her lips.
"That's fine by me."
"Nick you also need to tell your family."
"I will in good time."
"Ok."
Nick and Sara fell asleep with dreams of their children.
The Next Day Sara and Nick were lying in bed before getting up to got to work.
"Nick, I was thinking that I would work until my 6th month then take some time off, I just have to com up with an accuse to take time off again after coming back from an 8 month leave."
"Honey, do you think you will be able to hide the pregnancy for 6 months with out any one finding out?"
"Well I do not get morning sickness at work, so that will not give it away, but if I during this pregnancy I am carrying big then when I was with Sadie then I will just leave sooner."
"Ok, babe, but be careful at scenes and the chemicals in the lab, I cannot be there with you on every case to make sure that you are ok."
Sara leaned in and kissed Nick on lips.
"Don't worry babe, I would not let anything happen to our baby."
"Sar we need to get up and start getting ready for work."
"Ok. I need to take a shower, will you cheek on Sadie?"
"Sure babe."
Nick walked across the hall and walked in to Sadie's room. He saw her wide awake standing up in her crib holding on to the railing.
"Hey there princess, when did you wake up?"
Sadie lifted her arms up, telling Nick to pick her up.
"Dada."
"Yah I am your daddy, lets get you ready for Kelly then we will go see mommy ok."
"Mama."
"Yah Mommy."
Nick got Sadie ready then carried her into the master bedroom where Sara was getting ready for work.
"Look who's here to see her mommy."
"Mama."
"Hey there, princess, how are you doing?"
Sadie smiled and clapped her hands
"Who's a happy girl today?" Sara asked Sadie
"eeee."
"Yah you. Sadie is a happy girl today."
"Can you say Sadie?" Nick asked
"Adie."
Sadie just laughed her baby laugh and kicked her legs
"That's a good girl." Nick said while tickling her stomach.
Nick passed Sadie over to Sara who had finished getting ready so he could get ready him self. Sara walked into the kitchen to get something to eat for Sadie.
With in the hour both Sara and Nick had left for work.
Three months later...
Sara was now 5 months pregnant today her and Nick were going to find out the sex of the baby. They were waiting in the waiting room for Sara's name to be called.
"Sara Stokes."
Sara and Nick both got up and followed the nurse into an exam room
"Mrs. Stokes the doctor will be with you shortly."
"Thanks."
Sara lay back on the table and Nick stood be side her holding her hand
A few moments later the doctor knocked on the door then entered.
"Sara, Nick how are you guys doing today?"
"Good thank you, and your self doctor Conner's."
"Good thank you. So we are here to see what the sex of the baby is?"
"Yah we are."
"Ok then lest get started. Sara can you pull your shirt up a bit and pull your pants just below your waist.
"The jell will be a little cold."
The doctor put the lube on Sara's abdomen. She picked up the probe and put it on Sara's abdomen and started to move it around.
"Well there is your baby, and it looks like he as a really strong heart beat."
Sara looked at Nick when the doctor said he.
"Nick we're having a baby boy."
"I heard sweetie, I heard. Isn't it great?" Nick leaned down and placed a kiss on Sara's forehead.
The doctor handed a cloth to Sara so she could whip the lube off her abdomen.
"So I will see you guys next month."
"Thanks doctor."
"Yours welcome."
Nick and Sara made an appointment for the following month then they walked out of the doctor's office and headed home to their baby girl.
It has been a few hours since Nick and Sara came home. They just put Sadie down to sleep and now they were lying in bed in each other's arms.
"Sara we need to find a name for this little guy here." Nick said while rubbing his hand on Sara's abdomen.
"Well I really liked the name Jordan when you suggested it when I was pregnant with Sadie."
"Ok then he will need a middle name."
"How about Matthew."
"Perfect babe, just perfect."
"Hey there buddy, do you like that name?" Nick said taking to Sara's stomach.
"Jordan Matthew Stokes is a perfect name for our son." Sara said while she fell asleep in her husbands arms, while their daughter slept in the other room and a son on the way.
