It's time
Sara was now stuck at the lab and getting tired at the drop of a hat. She was entering her 8th month and felt as large as a house. She was waddling her way into the breakroom to find Nick in sitting, enjoying a cup of coffee.
When he saw her he quickly downed the last of it and went to the sink to wash it out. Whenever Sara was around the crew knew they better not be caught having a cup of coffee. She was craving hard time for it and snapped whenever she saw a full cup of it.
"How are you feeling Sara?" he asked as he sat back down, placing a fresh cup of tea in front of her.
"Thanks" she said before sighing "like a house" she finished and Nick covered the smile on his face.
Warrick walked in just as she said this and smiled. He really wanted a cup of coffee but opted for a soda instead, seeing as Sara was making herself comfortable on the couch again.
He took a good look at her, he had know a couple of pregnant ladies in his time and Sara looked like she was about to pop but he knew she was just getting into her 8th month.
"Hey Sara, I was wondering…" he began "do you think the doctor could have gotten your due date wrong?" he asked.
"No, the due date is right. I have at least a month left to go." She replied looking at Nick with a smile.
Warrick sat for another moment and Sara could tell he was trying to work things out. "Did you have another question for me?" she asked.
"Now don't take this the wrong way" he said holding his hand out "it's just, I was thinking you were a little…um…"
"Just spit it out Warrick" she said.
"You're a little big is all" he finally said.
"You would be too if you were carrying twins" they heard Greg say behind them. Warrick stared at Sara and she just smiled back.
"Is he seriouse?" Warrick asked.
"Yes Warrick he is" Grissom chimed in from the doorway "Sara's pregnant with twins and is due in anther month" he finished.
"Damn girl, I thought something was up but I never imagined this, congratulations" he said and got up to give her a hug.
"Wait a minute. You all knew about this didn't you" he said pointing at Nick and Greg "why didn't you tell me?"
"We had to find out the hard way, why not you" Nick said.
"Find out what?" Cath said coming in.
"Oh nothing" Warrick said while winking at Sara and sitting back to enjoy his soda, feeling comfort in the fact that he wasn't the last to find out.
Two weeks later and it was Sara's last night at the lab. She was looking forward to being able to lounge about and not worry about having to work. Although she imagined it wouldn't be that much of a difference.
Right now she spent most of her time in Grissom's office planted on the couch doing paperwork and her back became sore after about an hour and she had to stop. Relaxation and sleep seemed like heaven right now even though she could seldom find comfort in her bed.
She waddled her way from her third trip to the bathroom in an hour towards the break room intent on getting some juice. When she got there she was surprised to see the entire lab there.
They were all waiting for her to give their congratulations. Even the criminals seemed to relax for the evening, giving them a much needed break. Grissom helped her into the nearest seat at the table and immediately a large slice of chocolate cake was placed in front of her.
She licked her lips and then shoved a large forkful in her mouth humming in appreciation. She was even happier when a large glass of milk was placed next to her plate. She gave a giant smile and then took a large drink from it, closing her eyes and thinking she had died and gone to heaven.
After cake there were presents and Sara was a ball of tears for almost the entire time. A box of tissues was placed in front of her by Catherine right before she was given her first gift. She began to open the very large box, ripping the paper with zeal.
It turned out to be a tandem stroller and Sara made use of the tissue. By the time she had gotten to the last gift she was a mess of tears. Catherine handed over her gift and smiled at Sara.
Sara ripped through the paper and opened the box. Inside were four sets of clothes, two boy and two girl "just in case" Cath said when Sara looked at her.
"How did you know?" Sara asked.
"Honey, I've had a kid and you only get that large when your carrying more than one." She answered. Sara smiled at her and gave her a hug. They were all beginning to disband when Sara yelled out in pain.
Everyone stopped in their tracks and witnessed as Sara's pants began to soak.
"Uh, Gil…" was all Sara got out before all of them went into action.
