Life as It Is

Chapter 3-Home at Last

"The departure time for flight 274 heading to Las Vegas, Nevada has been delayed for 15 minutes" I heard the flight attendance say trough the intercom. I looked at Sara who was reading a magazine.

"Are you ok?" I asked her patting her knee comfortly.

She put her magazine down and turned to me.

"Yeah I'm just a little nervous" she said looking down at her hands. I grabbed her hands and took them in mine.

"You shouldn't be worried it's just the team" I told her.

"I know but it still has been a year since last time I saw them." She was nervous and to be honest so was I. The fact that I left without saying good-bye, who had they hired to replace us, were they mad at us for some reason. Those questions were still floating around my head when I heard the intercom click on and the flight attendance began to talk.

"Flight 274 heading to Las Vegas, Nevada may now board"

Me and Sara stood up and walked to the gate heading to our old life…

***

6 hours later we were on our way to the lab after a quick trip to the townhouse to put away our stuff. We arrived at the lab and glancing a glimpse at Sara I could tell she was thinking if this was a good idea. I looked at the lab remembering all the memories, good or bad that we had spent not only here, but in Vegas in total. (I made a video about some of the memories in Vegas before they left link at the bottom of the page)

"Are you ready?" I asked her.

She nodded and we started walking to the lab door. Once we go inside lots of familiar faces could be seen. We started walking trough the lab heading to the locker room. On our way we bumped into someone we DIDN'T want to see, Eckle.

"So you guys are here visiting or?" He asked

"No we actually came here to stay." The look on his face was priceless.

I could hear Sara try to contain her laugh.

"Oh, well that's great…" he said obviously annoyed.

"What's great?" Someone said behind us

We turned around to see the very familiar faces of Nick and Catherine. When they saw us their confused faces turned into smiling faces. Catherine was the first to react and pulled us both into hugs.

"Oh my god, you guys are here, in Vegas, at the lab, and you're pregnant." She said pointing to Sara's stomach. I nodded and then Sara got pulled into a major hug on Nicks parts. He then gave me a man hug. I looked at Sara and saw happy tears rolling down her cheeks…

Sara's POV

When Nick pulled me in a hug that did it I immediately started crying and hugged him back. It felt good to be back here surrounded by the gang.

"It's good to have you back Sara" Nick whispered in my ear.

"It's good to back Nicky." I told him, using the nickname everyone called him by.

Nick dethatched himself from me and I quickly wiped my tears away.

"So how you guys been doing?" Gil asked Cath and Nick.

"We've been good lots of work, let me tell you finding replacements for you two wasn't easy" Nick told us.

"Who they hire?" I asked.

"Well actually Sara…" Catherine started but stopped when Hodges came up to us.

"Hey you two, when you get back?" he asked referring to me and Gil.

"Oh just now actually and were here to stay." Gil told him.

"That's great, now the blood sample you two broth at the lab , there's a match." He said looking at Catherine and Nick.

"Ok we'll be right there" Nick responded. Hodges left and Nick turned to us.

"Tonight I say we go out with the gang and eat somewhere since today is such a great celebration." Catherine nodded in agreement.

"Great we'll go look around and see if we can find Jim, Warrick and Greg, oh wait Greg's in the break room with…yah" Catherine look embarrassed and what Nick had said.

"With who?" I asked "Did he finally find a girlfriend?"

"Well you can't really say that right Nicky." Catherine said looking at Nick who was just starring at the floor. I shook my head, what the hell was going on with them.

"I don't know but I wanna find out" Gil told me as if he could read my mind. We started walking, heading to the break room. We reached the room and we were about to enter when we were stopped by Warrick.

"Hey no hug for me." He said smiling.

He hugged me tightly in the same way Nick had earlier. And man hugged Grissom.

"So you guys coming home uh." He asked trying to walk us away from the break room.

"It would seem like it, plus there will soon be a new addition to the Grissom family." Gil said patting my stomach making me smile.

"Yah I can see that, I didn't want to say anything in case I was wrong and you weren't pregnant." I laughed.

"Hey weren't you guys in Costa Rica 6 months ago" Jim Brass said coming from behind Warrick.

"Yah well there's nothing like home" Gil said smiling

After talking for a while we separated only to accept into joining them at around 7:00 tonight for dinner.

There was our chance I took hold of the door handle and opened it.

Inside was Greg ok, and he was talking to a brown haired girl who does look like me. Her back was turned to me but I already knew who it was. Greg glanced up and his mouth opened in shock.

"Sara, Grissom." He was able to say in shock.

The brown haired girl turned around and I was met by the same brown eyes as me.

"Omg Sara." She said

"Lauren what are you doing here?" I said looking directly at my sister…

Okay here it was everybody hope you enjoyed

This chapter and I will try to get the next one up as soon as possible. And yes I know that Sara doesn't have a sister but I

Had to put someone else instead of stupid Ray Langston sorry for everybody who likes him but I don't so yeah and Lauren will be a very important character in this story.
