Nick wasn't going to argue with her. He knew she was so very determined to get the little baby justice that she wouldn't give it up now, no matter how many sleepless nights she got because of it. But when she was done with it, when they had found the killer, he was determined to go to Grissom and demand she wasn't put on a case like it again.
Rubbing her back gently, he nodded.
"Once the son of a bitch who touched that child is where he belongs though Sara, we're going to Grissom and you're not on any cases like this again, not in your condition. It's just insensitive on Grissom's part."
He was angry that their supervisor had left her open for all the heartache she was enduring because of the Kar Jenkins case - he would sometimes wake up at night to see her sitting at the end of the bed sobbing. He'd found that, at times like that, she didn't want him to wrap his arms around her, she just wanted to be left to do it on her own. She still found it difficult, even though they were secure in their relationship, to let even him see her cry, which is why, he knew, she cried at night when he was asleep. He would just lie there and offer the silent support of his presence, without saying a word or trying to physically comfort her, despite the fact that his arms ached to envelope her and take away her pain, and the pain he felt in his own heart anytime she cried.
