I own nothing etc etc

------------------------------------------------------------

Shopping for Beth's first birthday was harder then Sara had imagined now that she was six months pregnant and her baby boy James, named after Jim, had taken up residence on her bladder.

Having resigned from her job to look after her expanding family full time Sara had more time for Beth and Grissom.

Walking inside with her daughter and first bag of shopping Sara put Beth in her play pen before bringing in the rest of the shopping.

Having put Beth down for her afternoon nap Sara was busy putting away party supplies when she heard the phone ringing.

Quickly answering so her daughter or husband would not wake up she heard Jim on the other end, "Heather has agreed to give a full confession," breathing in Sara knew this was the one thing she needed before she could put the past behind her, "the only problem is that she will only give it to you," Jim said.

"She wants to tell me," Sara questioned, "but why"?

"Who knows what makes that woman tick," Jim said harshly hating the woman as much as Grissom and Sara did.

Breathing in Sara answered, "I need to talk to Gil first, I will call you later," she managed.

Putting down the phone after discussing the upcoming party with her friend Sara walked upstairs to talk to Grissom who she knew was sleeping.

--------------------------------------

Walking into the prison Sara felt shivers down her spine.

Although Grissom, Jim and the DA had gone with her Sara knew she would be alone in the room with her.

Sitting down she watched as a prison officer walked in the room with Lady Heather who was handcuffed.

Sitting down Lady Heather became white again after seeing Sara's now visible baby bump.

"You have everything don't you Sara," Heather spat out at her.

Having decided before she walked in that she would not speak to her Sara remained quiet as Lady Heather continued.

"After my daughter died Grissom reached out to me. I know he loved me but when I came to find him I saw you were pregnant with his child," she said.

Letting her continue Sara remained silent.

"I knew the only thing that I could do was to take your child. I set up the whole thing and thought that after you lost the baby you would push Gil away and he would come to me for comfort and we would raise your little Beth together."

Still not reacting but feeling angry Sara continued to listen, "Doctor Harrison was easy I had him by the balls. You see he was a client of mine and he knew that I would ruin his reputation if he did not agree."

Feeling ill Sara finally spoke, "Who is Jayne Smith and who's baby was that," she asked holding back her tears.

"Jayne", Lady Heather asked, "Oh you mean Abigail Simons; you see she got herself pregnant by the good doctor and after her baby died Harrison convinced her to give the baby over for our plan."

Laughing Lady Heather added, "What women will believe when they think a man is in love with them."

Having heard enough Sara got up and started walking towards the door before addressing the woman for the last time.

"Heather … Grissom has always loved me. The night he stopped you trying to kill your daughter's killer he came home to me and will do for the rest of his life," seeing the anger on her face Sara continued.

"My daughter is doing fine and will never know you existed except for how you took her from her parents."

Not waiting for a reaction Sara spat back, "I think I would tell you to rot in hell but you are already there," she said before Heather tired to get up before the officer stopped her.

Walking out she fell into Grissom's arms and after being hugged she walked with Grissom with their finger interlinked as they lived were outside and to their new lives.

--------------------------------------------------------------

Watching her daughter being passed between the many guests at her party Sara heard the word that made her heart melt, "Momma," Beth called out.

Not sure if she had heard things Sara rushed over accepted Beth from Greg and was holding her when she said again, "Momma."

Having heard the day before that Lady Heather and Doctor Harrison would be spending the next 20 years in prison before the possibility of parole Sara was now happy to get on with the rest of her life.

--

After Sara put Beth down for the night Sara walked down into the living room and marveled at the amount of presents Beth had received.

Happily sitting down next to her husband she allowed him to feed her some cake.

"I love you," he whispered.

Taking the plate Sara kissed Grissom before leading him upstairs.

-----------------------------------------

Five years later …

Although Beth was only 15 months older than her brother James she still insisted on carrying their parent's breakfast upstairs on their anniversary.

Hearing the children talk about their big plan the night before Sara told Grissom and the two were happily pretending to be asleep as they walked in.

After sampling the burned toast and chocolate Sara happily accepted her wedding album and told her children their favorite story of how their parents had met and fell in love.

Sitting against Sara with her head under her arm Beth started squealing as she felt her little sister moving.

"I can't believe we have to wait another month before Lilly is born," Beth said.

Kissing her daughter's head Sara was filled with joy – not a day passed when she did not thank whoever was watching over her to make her family whole.

THE END
