A/N: So this is heading in a totally different direction than was planned, but it's kind of writing itself so I can't help that!! Thanks again for the reviews, you all rock!

Chapter Three

Sara sat back down on the break-room couch and turned to look at Greg. That look alone was enough to confirm his suspicions.

"I knew it! Nicky was right all along, and Rick. They both said they thought… well they weren't sure of course… but they thought…something. I should have known years ago, when you wouldn't go out with me. Of course that was before me and N… well before. And Cath said you'd been putting on weight! I just knew it! Wow I can just see Grissom making an awesome dad you know? Wow this is just…"

"Hold up! Hold up!" Sara interrupted a terribly excited Greg, "Please just STOP talking for a second!"

Sara couldn't believe what had just come out of Greg Sanders mouth. She needed time to process everything.

"Greg, let's… let's start at the beginning okay?"

"Okay." Agreed a somewhat nervous, and slightly less excited Greg.

"When you said you knew, you knew what exactly?"

Greg turned a little red in the face, "I thought I knew, that, uh, you and Grissom were seeing each other."

"Okay, and when you said Nicky was right, does he…"

"Oh, no." Greg interrupted quickly, "He doesn't think you two are together. He just noticed a change in Grissom lately, you know leaving straight after shift, loosing some weight. I didn't tell him my theory."

"And Rick?"

Greg was beginning to relax now. Things felt good out in the open. "Warrick mentioned something about you and Grissom, but I'm not sure he seriously believes it."

Sara felt a little calmer now that she'd begun to break down Greg's spontaneous honesty session from a moment ago, "So it's really just you that knows about us. How exactly did you know Greg?"

"I always though there was something between the two of you. I'm paid to pay attention you know. I guess as the rookie I pay a little more attention than the rest of you!"

Sara smiled at her protégé; he really had become a great investigator. She felt proud to be his mentor. Knowing nobody else knew about her and Grissom was good, but there were still a few details that needed to be discussed.

"Cath said I was putting on weight?"

At Sara's question Greg couldn't help but laugh. "Not in so many words! She just happened to say that while she agreed with Nick that Grissom had lost a little weight, you seemed to have done the opposite…" He gave Sara a sheepish look, "Honestly I hadn't noticed, but just now I saw your stomach and it just sort of… clicked."

"Well Greg, trust you to put two and two together and get four while everyone else only gets half the story." This felt good, Sara thought, being able to open up. Especially to Greg, he'd always been so open and honest with her in the past.

Greg got up to pour both of them a fresh cup of coffee, making Sara's a decaf without her having to ask. When he returned his mischievous streak had returned with him. "So, back to the questions Miss Sidle…"

"Actually," Sara cut him off, "it's Mrs Sidle-Grissom, and has been for about fourteen months now."

Greg laughed, "Wow you guys are good! A secret marriage and a secret baby. So that's why you were so cryptic when I asked if you were 'dating' anyone!"

"Yup afraid so." Sara joined in Greg's laughing. It felt good to be so honest, like a release after years of secrecy and hiding; she felt freer.

As the laughter died down a moment of comfortable silence passed between the pair. Then Sara remembered something and it was her turn to quiz Greg. "Hang on, before, you said you were dating someone. So come on Sanders, out with it, I want details! Now you know all my secrets it's only fair you return the favour! What's her name? Where did you meet?"

Greg looked serious for a while. Sara was right, now he knew all her secrets it was time he shared his. Taking a deep breath he made the decision to share something he hadn't thought he ever could.

"Actually, we met here, at work. And…and his name is…"

Before Greg could finish the sentence both his and Sara's pagers alerted them to the fact their fifteen minutes of rest were up.

To be continued…
