Chapter six: Hot flashes part one!
Four days later Sara come into the break room at the CSI lab and pass out the assignments to Nick, Warrick and Greg. The three guys just look at Sara with a look of shock, because it was Sara hand out the case assignments to them and not Grissom.

"Sara's why is Grissom at?"

"He will be here, he just running late this morning and he called me and told me to pass the assignment out for him."

"He never runs late for work!"

I know this is not look Grissom at all Warrick. Why is he running late?"

"Car problems Nick and you are on a 416.

Sara hand Nick the piece of paper the location of the crime write on, Nick looks at the sheet of paper and then looks up at Sara.

"A shooting?"

"Yes Nick a shooting."

Sara then hand Warrick the piece of paper with the location of his case and Warrick see he working a 434. Warrick gives Sara a look that say you have to be kidding me.

"A missing person case, I hope I can find Mr. Tam alive and not dead."

"Greg you and Catherine are on a 424 (Abuse/Neglect) and 419 (dead body)."

"Both?"

"Yes there is a total of six kids in the family and two was found dead."

"Oh and Catherine not here Sara!"

"Yes she is, I already hand her the paper with the location of the crime on it."

"if she here, where is she at?"

"She had to use the restroom, she will meet you at the SUV Greg."

"And what case are you work on Sara?"

"I am not on a case of yet, Nick."

"You can help me Sara."
"Grissom with you Warrick and he meet you at the scene."

"It not right that Catherine has to work a case when she just started to get over the flu and stomach flu, but you do not have to be on a case?"

"Greg right I talk to Catherine this morning and she said that the only thing she kept down so far is water, so why is she on a case and not you. Catherine should be on one that gets to stay in the lab Sara not you."

"Ahem it is not my choice to stay in the lab Greg and Nick and it not because I am just get over having bronchitic either, I have felt great the last few days and hardly been coughing since the doctor put me on antibiotics to help fight the germ off."

"The why do you get to stay in the lab?"

"Because I have a meet With Ecklie on Personal Issue that might cause me to miss some days in July and August Warrick."

At the same time Catherine walks into the break room with her right arm around her stomach and everyone in the room can tell that Catherine is still not feeling well. She walks up beside Greg and taps him on the left shoulder with her left hand.

"Greg comes up, we need to go!"

"I need to see why Sara might have to take sometime off in July and August!"

"I am not telling right now you have to wait and see."

With that Sarah walks out of the break room and Nick, Warrick, Catherine and Greg watching Sara until she is out of sight, then the guy stands up from the chair they are sitting on, then the four of them walk out of the break room. At the same time Sara is knocking on Ecklie's office door.

"Who is it and what the hell do you want?"

"Sara Sidle and we have a meet this morning."

"Come and sit down, so we can get this over with."

Sara walks into Ecklie's Office and shut the door behind her. Sara then walks over to the chair that is in front of Ecklie's des and sits down on the chair resting her hand on her stomach, which is a little upset this morning.

"What is it that you need to tell me about Miss Sidle?"

"Gil Grissom told me that I need to let you know I am pregnant and due day is during the second week of July. I need the paperwork to fill out so I can take maternity leave."

"You do not think you going to take from now to six weeks after the baby born off do you?"

"No, I only want to take sometime off after the baby born."

"The longest you allow to take off for maternity leave is six weeks unless your obgyn write a note saying you have to take longer off for medical reasons."

"I plan on come back after two weeks off if my doctor allows me to."

Ecklie open up the bottom drawer on the right-side of his desk and pulls out the paperwork that Sara needs and then he hands her the paperwork. Sara take the paperwork and gives Ecklie a little smile and he smile back.

"Fill them out and have the paperwork back to me by tomorrow morning if I am not here leave the paperwork on my desk. Now get out of my office and close the door behind you."

"All right."

Sara stands up from the chair and walks over to the office door. She open up the door and walks out of the office closes the door behind her. Sara then walks down the hallway and toward the locker room. A few minutes later Sara walks into the locker room and gets her purse out of her locker. Sara then grabs a pen out of her purse and start to fill out the paperwork for maternity leave. When Sara is done filling out the paperwork, she grabs her jacket and crime kit and heads toward Ecklie office and is glad to see Ecklie is not in there, she lays the paperwork on his desk then head out to her car. She then heads to the crime scene Catherine and Greg are working. After she gets to the crime scene, Sara gets out of her car and grabs her kit off the back and a few moment later walks up to the house and sees three girls and one boy sitting on the front porch staring into space. She walks over to Brass who trying to talk to them.

"Brass have they tell you anything yet?"

"No, they will not talk to me at all Sara."

"Let me try, you go tell Greg and Catherine I am here to help after I talk to the children."

"Ok."

Jim Brass walked into the house and Sara walk over and she sits down on the rail of the porch across from the children. Sara looks at the children, but none of them look at her.

"Hi my name is Sara Sidle and I am with the Las Vegas crime lab. Can you tell me your names and ages?"

"My name is Shannon Park and I'm twelve years old."

"I'm Sage and I'm seven years old."

"My name Sari, I am five."

"My name is Scott and I am fourteen."

"Hi Shannon, Sage, Sari and Scott are all your last names all the same?"

"Yes."

"Shannon can you tell me what happened?"

"Yes."

"When you are ready you can start and I will be write down what you tell."

"It starts like every evening once our dad gets home from work, he picks us up from school and daycare and brings us home, then we have dinner. But he gets mad a lot early then a normal day because Sean and Seanna are youngest brother and sister who are twins and two half year old was whine and would not eat, because they were not feeling well. I try to get them to be quiet, so Dad would not hit them but I could not get them to quiet down, the two of them were both running really warm so I take off the long sleeve shirts and pants and put on a pair of shorts and a T-shirt on both of them to see if that would help, but they still keep crying. Then Dad comes into the twin bedroom and start hit them and shake Sean till he stops move and crying, then he did the same to Seanna. He them push me down and hit me and pull off my pant and did what he did to me every night have sex with me, but this time I fight back and he hit me until I pass out."

"Scott can you tell me what happen next?"

"Yes then our dad did the some to Sage and Sari."

"Scott did your dad do anything to you?"

"He hit me till I pass out, when me and my sister come too, dad was no long here."

"Where is your mom Sage?"

"I went down to the basement when I come too; which is where are mom art room is and I find her lay on the ground and she was not moving."

Jim Brass walks over to Sara and the children as the social work walk up to the house. Sara gives the children a small smile and they give her small smiles back, as Sara starts to talk.

"Thank you that all I need from you and I have to go inside now."

"I guess we need to go check the basement out."

"Yes we do Brass."

"Hello I am Kate Hope and I am here for the children Miss. Sidle."

"I need you to take them to the hospital and have a nurse do a sexual assault kit on each of the girls and one of use will be there to take pictures of the bruise in a little while."

"Can it be you, Sara?

"Shannon It will probably be I, Catherine and Greg seen that there are four of you and three of you are girls and one a boy."

"(All the children) ok."

Jim Brass and Sara walk into the house and at the same time Mrs. Hope and the children get into Mrs. Hope van to go to the hospital. Inside the house Jim Brass head down to the basement with David to see if what the children says about their mom was true and Jim and David finds that the children were telling the truth. Twenty minute after enter the house David walks over to Sara who is process the art room.

"The two children and the mother are dead."

"Thank you for letting me know."

David walks away from Sara to go out to the van and get three body bags. Sara and Catherine collect the evidence off the body and inside the house, as Greg collect any evidence that on the outside of the house. Greg gives David a sad look as he walk by, at the same time Inside the house Catherine look over at Sara and see she is looking a little green.

"Sara is everything ok, you are looking a little green. It seems like the smell is upset you stomach just like it is upset mine you not catching the flu/stomach flu that going around the lab are you?"

"I am not catching the flu/stomach flu, it is something total different, gagging."

"What do you mean total different Sara?"

"If I tell you will your promise not to tell anyone for right now, because I'm not ready for everyone to know?"

"Sure Sara."

Sara takes a fast look around the room to make sure that she and Catherine are alone and when she sees no one else in the room and hears not one else in the house Sara start to talk.

"I am pregnant."

:How far along are you?"

"Twelve and half weeks, do you mind if I go outside and get some air?"

"No we are almost done in here anywhere, I will finish up. How about you go on a head to the hospital and get start on take pictures of the bruises that the children have and get the sexual assault kits form the nurse and when you finish with all four children meet us back at the lab."

"Sure Catherine."

Sara walks out of the art room and heads upstairs. She then walks out of the house. Sara then walks over to her car with her crime scene kit in her left hand and her
Right-hand on her stomach and is hoping she not going to throw up in front of Greg that is taking casts of boot prints that are in the front yard. Sara puts her kit into the back of her car and a few minutes later Sara's is driving to Desert Palm Hospital, where the children have been taken. Once at the hospital Sara take the pictures of the children bruises and find that the only place the father every hit Scott was on the arms and face, but on the girls he hit them everywhere. When Sara finishes taking the last pictures and walks out of the exam room door a nurse walks up to Sara with the three sexual assaults kits in her hands and gives Sara a sad look. Sara give her a sad look back.

"What can you tell me about the kits Nurse Pitt?"

"All three girls show signs of repeated sexual abuse Miss. Sidle."

"That what I thought, can you watch my kit, the camera and the sexual assault kits for me for a minute?"

"Sure but why?"

"I need to use the restroom."

"Ok."

With that Sarah runs to the restroom and make into a stall and lean over the toilet just in time, because as soon as lean over the toilet she starts throwing up. Once Sara has stop throwing up, she put a breath mint in her mouth then walk back over to nurse Pitt and get the camera, her crime scene kit and the sexual assault kits form the nurse. Then Sara walks out to her car and put the evidence into the backseat of her car. She then gets into the car, but just sits there behind the wheel for a few minutes thinking to herself God I hate the way I feel, Grissom the one guy I sleep with since coming to Las Vegas and he gets me pregnant. I feel this way because of him and I love him but he has it so easy, he gets to be happy about become a father without having to go through all the morning sickness or gain weight. Hell I would not change this for anything, I just wish that he could feel what I am going through sometimes. With that Sara starts her car up and pulls out of the parking space and a minute drive int to the lab to drop the evidence off. Ten minutes later Sara has check the evidences into the evidence room and then take the sexual assault kits to DNA. As Sara is walking out of the DNA lab Catherine walk up to her and the two of them goes to see Dr. Robbins. Dr. Robbins looks up when he sees Catherine and Sara walk into his lab.

"Sara how are the three girls and the boy who are alive doing?"

"Ok for what they have been through."

"Let starts with two half year old Seanna, there are signs of sexual assaults at lest two dozen times. The little girl was shaking to death along with her twin bother Sean and he was not sexual abuse.

"What about the mom?"

"Catherine, Mrs. Park was stab once in the heart and worse of all she was six weeks pregnant."

"That tells me way Greg found a knife covered in blood in the trash can outside the house."

"It does Catherine and how are you feeling today?"

"Ok, I am still weak and have only keep water down so far but it feels good to be back at work."

"I am sorry Dr. Robbins and Catherine, but I need to be excused myself because the smell is get to me."

"Sure Sara go into the hallway and I will be out in a few seconds."

"I tell the two of you what I know so far when I know more I will sent the info over to you."

"(Sara and Catherine) thank you."

With that catherine and Sara out of the coroner lab and head to the CSI break room. Catherine walks over to the coffee pot and get some coffee, because she thirsty and is tired of drinking water. At the same time Sara lay down on the break room couch and rest her hands on her stomach, which is upset.

"Sara's do you what some coffee?"

"No I just going to close my eyes for a few minutes and see if I can get my stomach to stop doing flip flops."

At the same time Greg comes run into the break room and up to Catherine with a look on his face that say he knows something that the two of them do not know.

"Greg what is it?"

"Wendy run the semen that was found on all four of the girls in our case and it was male of case. DO the two of you wants to guess it if the DNA matches any of the girls in the case?"

"No Greg, just tell us?"

"You do not have to snap at me Sara and it was the dad that sexual assault them."

Sara jumps up from the couch and run out of the break room. Sara then runs across the hallway and into the woman's restroom that are across from the break room. Back in the break room Greg is stare at the restroom door that slammed shut behind Sara. Greg turns around and looks at Catherine.

"Is Sara ok because she not looking to well?"

"The antibiotics she been taking because of Bronchitic is just bothering her stomach is all."

"Ok, when she comes out let her know that Gil Grissom want to talk to her and he said to have her meet him in his office."

At the same time Sara walk up behind Greg with her right hand on her forehead and left hand resting on her stomach. Greg and Catherine looks at Sara and notice that she has a green tint to her face and that she is sweating too.

"Thank you for tell that Gil Grissom wants to see me Greg."

"All you all right Sara?"

"Yeah I am fine Greg."

Sara turns away from Greg and Catherine and walks down the hallway toward Gil Grissom's office. A few minutes later Sara walks into Gil Grissom office and close the door behind her. She then locks the door and then walks over to the shelf unit on the right-hand wall if standing in the door and turns the fan on high. At the same time Gil looks up from his desk and looks at Sara and he smile at her. Sara walks over to Gil's desk and then walks behind the desk and walks behind Gil Grissom's desk chair and then put her arm around his shoulder. Then Gil Grissom pull Sara onto his lap and he kiss her on the lips. After a minute Sara pull away from Grissom, then stand up and walk over to the chairs across from his desk. Sara walks over to the chair on the right-hand side and that near the fan if standing in the office door. Sara sits down on the chair, then leans back and rests her hands on her stomach. Sara then shut her eyes trying to block out how nausea she is.

"What did you need to see me about Gil and we are at work you should not be so loveable to me here anyone could see as together?"

"Sara we need to think about telling everyone about us going out, It is not like we will be able to hide that you are pregnant, once you start to show. That and I know Ecklie knows about it because he came and gave me a printout of the paperwork you filled out for maternity leave."

"He would not tell anyone would he?"

"It is Ecklie, what do you think?"

"That we are going to have to tell everyone soon then later, but I am not ready to tell them yet."

"Have you told anyone yet, beside me?"

"I told Dr. Robbins about a half hour before I tell you about being pregnant, then I called and made an appointment to see a doctor because of the horrible cough, sore throat, being achy all over and running a fever and I told Catherine today!"

"Catherine!"

"I am working the same case she is, she looks over at me and seen I look green and ask me if I was coming down with the flu/stomach flu that going around I told her no that it was something different, Catherine asks me why and I tell her I was pregnant, since the smell of the crime scene was making me nausea, but I told her not to tell anyone yet.

"Catherine will keep her word and she will not tell anyone."

"I know that she already covered for me when I run off to the restroom across from the break room when Greg was talking to us about the DNA results on the case we are working on."

At the same time there is a knock on Grissom's office door that makes Sara and Gil jump out of their chairs. Grissom walks over to the door and unlocks it, at the same time Sara take the black blazer that is over her white short sleeve blouse and put the blazer on the back of the chair she was sitting on. Sara sits down on the chair, as Gil Grissom open the officer door to see Greg and Catherine. He steps back from the door and then Catherine and Greg walks into Grissom's office. Catherine walks up beside the chair that Sara is sitting on, as Gil walks over to his desk. Greg walks up behind the chair no one is sitting on and at the same time Gil sits down on his desk chair. Gil looks at Sara and then he looks at Greg and Catherine.

"Can we steal Sara back, because we need her?"
"what is up Catherine?"

"We need to head back over to the crime scene because I just read Mrs. Park medical records and they said that Mrs. Park gave birth to ten children with Mr. Park and Greg, you, Brass and I only found the two boys and four girls."

"What was the sex of the other children?"

"Three girls and one boy Sara. The boy is four and the three girls are one year old."

"How did we miss a four-year-old and three one-year-old girls, Greg?"

"I have no idea Sara."

"Greg and Catherine I will meet you at the SUV. I need to get my crime scene kit out of my locker."

"That is fine Sara, Greg and I will head out to the SUV."

Greg and Catherine walks out of Gil Grissom's office and grab they crime kit off the floor by Grissom's office door, then start walking toward the main doors of the lab. Sara stay sitting on the chair in front of Gil's desk with her hands resting on her stomach.

"Are you feeling all right Sara, because it looks like your stomach is bothering you and you are sweating?"

"I am having a hot flash and I also have morning sickness. I should get going."

"See you when you get back to the lab Sara."

Sara stands up and walks out of Gil's office and head to the locker room to get her crime scene kit. A few minute later Sara walks outside and over to SUV two, which is the SUV Catherine and Greg are standing by. Greg takes Sara kit and put the kit in the back of the SUV with his and Catherine kits. Catherine opens up the driver door and Sara open up the front passengers' door. The two female CSI gets into the SUV and at the same time Greg open up the back door behind the driver seat and gets into the SUV. As Greg is putting on his seatbelt, Sara turns the SUV air conditioning on. Sara then leans her seat back and starts resting her hands on her stomach again.

"Why did you turn the air conditioning on Sara?"

"Because I am hot Greg!"

Catherine backs the SUV out of the parking space and drive to the exit of the parking lot and two minutes later there is a break in the traffic and Catherine turns left out of the parking lot exit and start driving to the crime scene, during the drive Catherine, Greg and Sara do not talk to each other. When they get to the house that the crime happened the three CSI just looks at each other before getting out of the SUV. A few moments later Sara, Greg and Catherine walk to the back of SUV and get out their crime scene kits. Then Sara, Catherine and Greg start to walk up to the house and Greg is not able to stand the quiet anymore.

"Who want to look where?"

"I will take the basement."

"That is fine Sara and I will take the upstairs, where do you want Greg?"

"I search the first floor Sara and Catherine."

The three CSI goes back too not talking and once inside the house they head to where they said they were going look at. Sara heads to the basement and set her crime scene kit on the floor and open up the kit. She grabs a pair of gloves out of the kit and put on the gloves, then turn on her flash light on. Sara then starts walking the basement keep in mind that she is looking for a four-year-old boy and three one-years-old girls. Sara is making herself think about where the mom might hide four young children to keep them safe from they father. She looks under the staircase first, but does not see anything at first. So she starts walking away to search other spot, when Sara think that she hear something.

"No crying Sise, dad is bad."

Sarah walks back over to the staircase and kneels down on the floor to get a close look and she sees a trapdoor under the staircase. Sara pulls her cellphone off her hip and text Catherine and Greg to come down to the basement because she has found something. As Sara wait for Catherine and Greg she talks to the boy through the trapdoor to let him know he and his sister are safe now and Sara also dusts the trapdoor for fingerprints.

"Come out?"

"Just one more minute."

At the same time Greg and Catherine walk down the staircase and then the two of them walk into the basement. Greg and Catherine walk over to Sara and then Catherine and Greg sits down on the floor next to Sara. Sara open up the trapdoor and the little boy reach up and hug Sara, then the three one-year-olds put their arms up.

(Three girls) up, up, up."

Catherine reaches down and picks one up and put her in Sara's free arm, Then pick the second girl up and hand her to Greg, but she would not let go of Catherine so with her free hand Catherine careful pulls the last little girl out.
