Chapter 5

Sorry, I know that I am jumping around a lot from past to present……. I try to make it clear, but I sometime just get caught up in the writing!! Oh and the psychiatrist's name is Belkin. I was listening to the classical music channel while writing this and his name popped up on the screen! Not to be confused with Beklin.

PRESENT

Grissom and Sara had been hard at work, never even noticing the time flying by until Nick spotted Grissom and Sara on his way to the locker room and rushed over to greet Sara.

"Sar!!" opened his arms to give her a hug. "How have you been? "

Sara remained in her seat still trying to conceal her pregnancy.

Nick had ben so excited to see her, he never broke eye contact.

"I'm good! How are you? How is everyone?" Sara replied.

Before the conversation went on any longer, Grissom interrupted.

"Nick, why don't you round everyone up and tell them that I'll be handing out assignments in here instead of the break room."

"Sure boss, I'll be back in a few." Nick turned his attention back to Sara, "I'll be back for you later." With a wink, he was gone.

"Sara, I know we never talked about how we would tell everyone, but I think now would be a good time." Grissom studied her face for a moment and continued. "If we want there help on the case and….."

By now Sara understood what he was getting at.

While she was still unprepared for situation she knew he was right.

"You don't have to explain, I know your right. Do you want to talk or should I?" Sara asked.

Before Grissom got the chance to answer, everyone was filing in.

Everyone was more excited to see Sara then to worry about why they were all in the conference room.

One by one, each member of the team hugged Sara and express joy and excitement about her coming back.

Even if it was just for the one case.

"Everyone, please take a seat, I'll hand out assignments, but need to speak with you all first." Grissom announced.

"As you know, the case that Sara worked on over a year ago is being re-investigated. There was some sloppy handling of the evidence and now some of it is gone. The lead Suspect in the investigation, Kevin Westin, was giving his walking papers, but will remain on probation until we can re-file charges on him."

Grissom took a few moments to look around the room and then looked at Sara.

In his own communication with Sara, asking if she was ready for this, She nodded and he started speaking again.

"We have one obstacle that we will need all of your help and support to over come, Sara is six months pregnant." Grissom stated.

"What? Six months and your just telling us now?" Catherine asked.

Now it was Sara's turn to answer.

"When we found out I was pregnant, I was considered a 'high risk' pregnancy. I was so afraid I didn't want to tell anyone. After we knew we were in the clear, you guys were all so busy and I still felt so guilty about leaving the way I did. So I'm sorry, I never ment to let so much time go by…."

Sara lost her words and they were replaced with tears.

Grissom hand much like he did when she told him she was pregnant.

Nick was the first to speak up, "It's okay Sara, we understand."

Nick looked around the room to make sure that he was speaking correctly on everyone's behalf.

He was greeted with nods and smiles.

"Thank you……. These damn hormones, I can't keep them under control." Sara cracked a smile.

"Last week I started crying when I saw telephone commercial. It was so lame." This time Sara could hardly finish her sentence without laughing.

"No way." Warrick spoke up. "Our Sara Stubborn ass Sidle is crying over a commercial…. I don't believe it. Where is Sara Sidle and what have you done with her?"

Now everyone broke out in laughter.

"Do you know the sex?" Catherine asked.

Grissom and Sara shared a glace and then Sara spoke up.

"We are having a baby boy." Sara replied not even trying to hide her excitement.

"Any names picked out?" Greg inquired.

"Grissom wanted to name him Gregory." Sara joked.

"Really?"

Sara now laughing freely, "No Greg, sorry. Benjamine Stanly. Benjamine after Grissom's father and Stanly after my grandpa." Sara stated proudly.

"Benjamine Stanly Grissom, that's a strong name." Nick repeating the name aloud. "We can call him 'Ben', right?'

"That's what people called my dad, and I'm sure that's what Sara and I will call him."

After a few minutes of jokes and plans for everyone to meet up breakfast, it was back to the drawing board.

"Nick and Greg, I want you to go over all the interview tapes. There are a lot of them. Neighbors, Kelli Westins co-workers, and a few others. Warrick, I want you to go through the evidence. We need some fresh eyes. Catherine, as I understand it, you are still working on a case?" Grissom asked

"Yes." Catherine replied.

"Okay, let me know how it's coming along, and if your need an extra hand take Nick." Grissom offered.

With that, everyone was off and running.

While Sara was deep in thought she suddenly felt the baby moving.

"Gil, the baby is awake, feel."

Sara grabbed Grissom's hand and placed where the kick boxing was taking place.

"He must be all worked up because I got so worked up." Grissom just smiled.

"I'm excited." Grissom admitted.

"Me to, I'm so excited me meet him."

Grissom and Sara never wanted to miss anything when it came to their son's life.

So they took there time enjoying the little things about pregnancy.

BAM!! And another chapter's up!! Enjoy, it's a little shorter, but still worth a review. Goodnight and HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!
