Chapter 6: The Signs

3 weeks after the indecent with Kyle Davies, and things between Greg and Morgan seemed to be completely back to normal. Their friends had noticed this too, as a cloud of misery no longer seemed to follow the young couple around at work, and they were much more enthusiastic about their cases.

One night, Nick and Morgan had been sent to a home in Henderson. A man had come round to check the water meter and found the old woman dead in her living room. Given the woman's age, it was more than likely that she had died of natural causes, but the CSI's still had to confirm it all the same.

Morgan got the sudden hit of a decomposing smell as soon as Nick opened the door. The female CSI staggered back a little and placed a hand over her nose in disgust. Nick looked at her curiously.

"What's up?" he asked.

Morgan just grimaced "Seriously, you don't smell that already?" she asked, her voice sounding muffled from behind her hand.

Nick shook his head "It can't be that bad, David said she's only been dead about four hours"

"Well, it smells more like four days" Morgan countered as she finally braved going inside the house. She found it strange Nick couldn't really smell it too.

Letting Nick take the lead, Morgan stumbled in behind him feeling her stomach go weak. It was strange really, because the God awful smell had never really bothered her before. Morgan felt she must have grown more immune over the years, but there had been a few incidents of late were she just couldn't handle it.

Like last week, she'd been at a house with Finn and it had been a total blood bath, Morgan couldn't stand the smell and eventually had to leave, and there was a trash run she'd been on with Greg a few days ago which had had a similar effect.

"Are you going to be okay?" Nick asked concernedly, as he noticed the blonde looking a little green around the gills.

"Yeah, yeah I'll be fine" Morgan replied. She took a deep breath to calm herself before going to kneel beside the body. She suddenly gagged and covered her mouth "No, no not fine" she said frantically and ran from the house.

Nick ran after her, and grimaced when he found his younger colleague vomiting into the flower beds. He went up behind Morgan and began rubbing her back soothingly, offering a bottle of water after she'd finished.

"Thanks" she said a little breathlessly and began drinking it greedily, before handing it back to Nick "God, I don't know what's wrong with me!"

"Maybe you should just go back to the lab for now" Nick suggested "I can call Sara out to help me"

"No, that wouldn't be fair" Morgan said, not wanting to ruin the older woman's night off.

"Hey, she won't mind" Nick said reassuringly "Your health is more important, now go on" he said, ushering her towards the car. "Greg would kill me if he found out I made you work after you'd been sick"

Morgan smiled "You're afraid of my husband now?" she teased.

"When you're concerned, yes" Nick said with a small smile.

As they reached the car, Morgan reluctantly agreed to leave and began to drive back to the lab. She didn't feel sick anymore, but she was beginning to feel slightly dizzy. She just wanted to get to the bottom of this sudden ailment.

Morgan was sat in the break room feeling extremely sorry for herself. After she'd returned back to the lab, she'd thrown up two more times in the restroom before going to lie on the couch in the break room, feeling absolutely exhausted. She'd been feeling really tired for the past couple of weeks now, but it wasn't like she'd been working more hours than usual. She could sleep for a good 9 hours and wake up feeling like she hadn't rested at all.

Greg had noticed it too, Morgan had been looking physically exhausted for a while now and it was making him worried. She had also been complaining of frequent dizzy spells, and didn't appear to be up to eating much either, saying she felt nauseous. Greg had urged Morgan to let him take her to the doctor's, but she was adamant it was probably just a stomach bug and she'd be fine.

Meanwhile, Greg had been working at the lab with Finn, and was on his way to get a cup of coffee when he spotted Sara walking towards the DNA lab.

"Hey!" he called after his friend, and Sara turned to him with a smile "Do you seriously live here or something?" Greg joked "I thought it was your night off?"

Sara just rolled her eyes at him, although she couldn't help but smile "It was, but Nick called me in to help with his case"

Greg frowned "I thought Morgan was working with Nick tonight?"

Sara looked at him a little confused "Nick didn't tell you?"

Greg's eyes grew a little wide and his face turned to one of slight panic "What? Tell me what?!" he commanded to know.

"Greg, calm down!" Sara said placing a hand on his shoulder "Morgan just got sick at the crime scene and Nick sent her back here…"

"What? Why did no one call me!?" Greg said running a hand through his hair and looking extremely worried "Is Morgan okay? Where is she?" The others didn't understand that Morgan had been unwell for a while now, and by the sounds of it, she was getting worse.

"I just saw her having a lie down in the break room" Sara said. "Greg, don't worry okay, she'll be fine, probably just been working too much"

"Yeah...yeah you're right" Greg said running a hand down his face to calm himself "It's just, I love her so much…"

"I know" Sara said with a smile, finding the young man's concern for his wife very sweet. "I think it would cheer her up a bit to see her husband right now though"

Greg nodded and thanked his friend, before hurrying over to the break room. He smiled sadly at his pale looking wife, who was looking hazily around the room. Morgan smiled up at her husband as he came and knelt down beside her, running his fingers through her blond waves. Morgan sighed with pleasure and closed her eyes with content, she felt instantly a little better just by having Greg near her.

"Why don't you go home, baby?" Greg suggested quietly.

"I didn't think I'd be able to drive myself that far without crashing" Morgan quipped, but Greg gave her a worried frown.

"Morgs, I really think we should take you to the doctor" Greg said concernedly. Morgan let out a groan of protest, but Greg just smiled at her "Come on, please baby, just to put my mind at rest" he hoped the guilt trip tact would work "You know I worry about you" he decided to add his best puppy dog eyes to seal the deal.

Morgan sighed "Fine" she said in defeat "I'll go, but only for you" she said with small smile, feeling like she had the most caring husband in the world for worrying so much.

"Thank you" Greg said, going to give Morgan a kiss, but she pushed him back a little.

"No! I just threw up" she reminded him.

Greg just smiled "Come on, I'll take you home" he said, helping Morgan to her feet. Morgan wobbled a little and fell against her husband's shoulder for support "Whoa, are you okay?" Greg asked.

"Yeah, yeah" Morgan winced as she put a hand to her forehead "Just got up a little fast"

"Okay" Greg said, not seeming convinced and just eager to get her home. "I just need to go grab my jacket from my locker, alright? Here, take the keys and go wait for me in the car" he instructed, handing them over.

"Yes, Dad" Morgan said teasingly.

"Please don't compare me to Ecklie, it's weird" Greg said with a lopsided smile. He gave his wife a quick kiss on the forehead before heading down the hall.

Morgan slowly began to make her way out to the parking garage, although she began to feel like her head was spinning worse. The blonde stumbled a little, and fell against the side of the car and she tried to catch her breath, as another wave of nausea hit her. Then, the world suddenly did one last spin, before Morgan found herself falling to the ground and being sucked into the darkness.

Greg was coming out of the locker room when Nick ran up to him. "Hey, how is Morgan doing?" he asked.

"Okay, for now anyway" Greg said with a slight sigh. "I've convinced her to go to the doctor's at least"

Nick nodded in relief "I'm sorry I didn't call you or anything" he said a little sheepishly, Sara had told him about Greg's reaction to finding out the news "I didn't want to worry you, and I know Morgan didn't either."

"I'm always going to worry about her, Nick" Greg said sincerely "I love her too much to lose her"

Nick smiled at him "When did you get so mature, Greg?"

Greg shrugged "I fell in love. I know they say that love makes you do stupid things but… if anything it's made me more grown up."

Nick chuckled and clapped him on the back "Well I'm proud of you man, you're willing to step up for your lady!"

The pair of them walked into the parking garage just talking, but then both froze in their tracks, fear consuming both their bodies, as they saw Morgan collapsed on her side, eyes closed.

"Oh my God" Nick breathed, getting out his phone, whilst Greg ran towards his wife.

"Morgan!" he called sliding to his knees and pulling the still woman up into his arms "Morgan, can you hear me?" Greg asked desperately, vaguely aware of Nick calling for an ambulance in the background. "Please say something, baby?" Greg said quietly with tears in his eyes. Nick could see how scared he was.

"Ambulance is on its way, man" Nick said, kneeling down beside him "Doesn't appear to be any physical outer injuries…"

"I s-shouldn't have le-left her a-alone" Greg berated himself as he let a few tears slip "Sh-she looked s-so ill"

"G, it's not your fault" Nick said, putting a comforting hand on his friend's trembling back. He checked Morgan's pulse, and found it was going a little quicker than usual, but it didn't seem life-threatening.

As they waited for the ambulance to arrive, Greg stayed stroking his wife's hair and whispering words of comfort to her, and pleading with her to wake up. Nick couldn't help but feel totally useless as he watched his broken friend, and passed out little sister.

When the ambulance arrived, Morgan was already starting to come around. She blinked her eyes open a little to see Greg's tear filled eyes looking back at her. She was about to ask what had happened, but then some medics managed to push Greg out of the way despite his protests, and Morgan wanted more than anything for him to come back, because Greg always made her feel better.

Before she knew it, Morgan was being forced into the back of an ambulance, still feeling sick and lightheaded. Greg was immediately by her side, holding her hand, and Nick said he would go to alert Ecklie.

As soon as they reached the hospital, Morgan was taken away from Greg to get checked over, and the anxious husband was left pacing up and down the halls nervously biting his nails. Greg could probably count the amount of times he'd felt this scared in his life on one hand.

After about half an hour of waitng, a doctor came over to Greg, and the CSI immediately started to demand answers.

"Your wife is going to be fine Mister Sanders" Doctor Ford said, and Greg sighed in relief; he could have cried. "She's awake now and asking for you, I assure what she's going through right now is perfectly normal at this stage…"

"Whoa, whoa, whoa" Greg said raising his hands "What stage? Stage of what?" he asked, feeling confused.

"Oh, I'm sorry I assumed you knew" Doctor Ford said and Greg shook his head "Morgan is five weeks pregnant"

Greg was speechless.
