Four weeks later, it was time for Sara to return to work. They had found a babysitter that they could trust, but Sara was still worrying about the safety of her son.
"Honey, relax. Mrs. Jax has babysat him lots of times."
"I know, but never for this long though. He's still not sleeping through the night. What if she falls asleep and he wakes up?"
"She can handle it. She did raise two of her own children. She knows how it works. Everything will be fine." He stopped his own preparations to ease her worries. She finally had calmed enough so he was able to finish dressing. After another moment, she joined him.
"You do realize what happens this week don't you?" He looked questioningly at her.
"I believe I won a private bet about Jr.'s arrival." His eyes widened in disbelief.
"You aren't seriously going to hold me to that are you?"
"Would you have collected your winnings if you had won?" He hung his head in shame and nodded.
"And no pairing me with everyone else either. I get at least one case with you."
"Yes dear." The doorbell rang the next minute and Sara answered it. He heard her greet the woman willing to sacrifice her nights so Sara could return to work. He joined the ladies as Sara was putting her coat on.
"Would you be able to stay a little later in the morning, I have a doctor's appointment and it's easier to get there from work."
"Sure dear, that's not a problem. Enjoy your first night back and I will see you in the morning." They smiled at her and thanked her before walking out the door.
As soon as they entered the lab, Sara stopped so Grissom could kiss the ground at her feet. She did this for every room that they entered.
"What's going on?" Nick asked the pair as they entered the break room.
"He lost a bet." "I lost a bet." They said at the same time.
"What was the bet?" Catherine asked extremely amused. Grissom spoke up.
"I doubted her maternal instincts. We made this bet the same day that Greg started the baby pool." Grissom explained.
"Oh yeah. Here are your winnings Sara. Congratulations." Greg handed her the envelope full of cash.
"My god, Greg, how many people did you get to play?" Sara showed Grissom the envelope she held in her hands before putting it in her pocket.
"Lot's of people. It was a slow night." Grissom disappeared to get the night's assignments. Sara's phone rang just as he returned.
"Hello?"
"Hi. Welcome back."
"Thanks. How are things going?"
"Just fine. Are you back to your pre baby size?"
"Yes, thankfully."
"Good. The wedding is in two weeks. I have your dress picked out so give me a call when you get home; I will come pick you up."
"Sure. I will be a little late though because I have an appointment at nine."
"Ok. I have other news to tell you too. Bye."
"Bye." Sara hung up the phone and looked expectantly at her husband.
"Alright, Nick, take Sara to a DB behind the strip. Be careful. Catherine, you Warrick and Greg get a double homicide at the Monaco. I will take a trick roll. If you need additional help then call me." He dismissed everyone and set to leave himself.
In the car, Nick could no longer hide his Cheshire grin.
"Two weeks huh?" Sara said and was glad that she was the one driving.
"Yep. What else did she say?"
"Call her and ask her yourself. Does anyone else know yet?" He was dialing and shook his head at the same time.
"They are going to kill you, you know that right?" He answered her while flipping through the speed dial list on his cell phone.
"No, they won't. You and boss man survived. Hey baby." He was talking into his phone now.
"No, I didn't. Can I?... Alright, hold on." He passed the phone.
"Hello again." Sara said.
"Did he tell you?"
"No, but he can't wipe the smile off his face. Does this mean what I think it means?"
"Yes. We found out yesterday."
"I am very happy for you both. Can I tell Grissom or would you like to do it?"
"I would like to tell him." Sophia answered.
"Can I be there? Please?"
"Sure I will call you. Can I talk to Nick now?"
"Sure. Later." Sara handed the phone back to him. He finished his conversation and hung up mostly because they had arrived at the scene.
"We have to call her when we are headed back. Then she will come join us so she can tell him." Sara gave him a smile.
"Congratulations. Should we get to work now?" They got out of the car and saw Sophia standing there. Sara saw them both smile and quickly hide it. She leaned over.
"I saw that. Were we that bad?"
"You two were and still are ridiculous. Do you honestly think that no one ever saw any of the looks you shared? It was funnier when you were both trying to be discreet because the other was unaware. I caught you several times just staring at Grissom, and he you. Are we that obvious?"
"If I wasn't in the loop, then I would be suspicious." She told him and waited for her assignment.
"I will talk to her about it. Why don't you take the perimeter and I will take the body." Sara nodded and set off to work. Sophia joined her inspection.
"So when are you telling everyone?" Sara asked all without looking up.
"Soon. I will have to tell Brass because like you, I won't be able to work in the field."
"How are you feeling?"
"Uhg. I am so nauseous. It's worse in the morning, but there all day no matter what I eat." Sara gave her a look of sympathy.
"Talk to your doctor about that. Have you tried crackers?" Sara asked quietly.
"Everything. My appointment is next week. How's the baby?" Sara bent to retrieve some evidence.
"He's good. He's almost sleeping through the night. I got lucky because he is so happy all of the time." Sara smiled.
"That's why I wanted to come pick you up. I haven't seen him in a while."
"I figured. That's why everyone comes to our house these days." Sara told her and they both laughed. Nick looked up at them and smiled. He was glad that she had Sara to confide in. The scene was finished without incident. Sophia followed them back to the lab. Sara called Grissom to make sure he was there.
"He just got back and he will be in his office." Sara told the duo when they got out of their cars. Sophia agreed to wait while they logged all of their evidence to be processed.
"Come in." Grissom called from behind his closed door. He looked up to see Sara, Sophia, and Nick enter and close the door. Because Sara was there, he got up to kiss the ground at her feet. Sophia was highly amused. Sara sent an 'I'll tell you later look' to the other woman.
"What's up?" Grissom asked returning to his original seat.
"The wedding is in two weeks." Nick said proudly.
"Ok, I will be there. Anything else?"
"Yes. First off you and Nick need to get your tuxes by Friday and second, we found out yesterday that we are now expecting a baby." Sophia told him. He smiled in congratulations but remained seated. He did manage to send a quick heated gaze Sara's way.
"Was there something that you needed, honey?"
"Not really. Sophia is picking me up at some point today so I can get the dress she chose for me." He nodded.
"You just wanted her to see me kiss the floor." She gave him her 'Grissom smile'.
"Yep." She blew a kiss to him and left the office. Nick and Sophia left and returned to their work as well.
Sara's doctor's appointment went well and they were now headed home. Grissom placed one of his hands on her thigh while they were sitting at a red light. She looked at him with amusement.
"Don't call her right away. Please?"
"I hadn't planned on it. She wants to see the baby though. She'll know something is up if I don't call her soon though." He was beginning to massage her thigh and moving up at the same time.
"I have an idea. Let's get home. I need a snack." He said suggestively.
