A/N: I got this idea when I was listening to "One Wish". I thought of Catherine and Warrick and decided I should write this story. Snickers and Yobling. Possible one shot unless I get enough reviews to motivate me to keep this going. Read and Review.
Summary: Warrick and Nick are close, but are they close enough to do the same thing as each other. Sara asks a question that triggers a series of events that changes the lab. Does Greggo get a wee bit jealous when his wishes are run into the ground and others around him are coming true?
Disclaimer: Don't own CSI, the characters, or Ray-J's song "One Wish".
It was an unusually slow night at the Las Vegas Crime Lab. There was nobody out on a case, or even doing paperwork. The entire graveyard shift was in the break room asking each other questions.
"Ok, I got one. What would you do if you had three wishes?" Sara asked hoping to get the team interested in her question, rather than Greg's.
Nick motioned, "I'll go first. Above all, I would like to end world hunger and child abuse."
"Aww… how sweet Nicky!" Warrick stated sarcastically.
"I think it is." Sara said as she sent Warrick her infamous glare.
"Can I finish? Second, I would wish to find the right person to spend the rest of my life with and start a family. Last but not least, I want to see my kids go to college." As he said this, he flashed Sara his sexiest Texan smile, which caused her to blush.
"Catherine you go next." Nick responded.
"Ok, my first wish is to send Lindsay to college. Second, to watch her graduate from college. Third, I would like to get remarried and be happy with my life. Greggo you're up next."
Greg laughed as she commanded him to go next. He knew that he wasn't too sure on what he would wish on, so he told himself that he would give typical "Greg" answers.
"Alright, I would like an unlimited supply of Blue Hawaiian coffee. Second, I would like to finally hit on Sara and not get slapped. Last, umm… I don't know; go to all of my favorite bands' concerts. Sara, my love, you go."
Nick shot Greg a look that sent chills down his spine. The look made Greg think about why Nick would be that defensive of Sara. Oh my God, they're going out I bet. I'll keep my mouth shut until I have actual proof. Grissom would be so proud of me. Hehe!
"Alright, wish number one would be to get rid of domestic violence. Next, would be to find a nice guy that won't cheat on me. Last I would like to have my father here, alive and actually sober, long enough to tell him thanks for nothing. Griss, you haven't gone."
The team sat in silence as they recalled Sara's past and what she had gone through in her life. Her wishes made sense to everyone who knew her past.
"Primarily, I would like to regain my hearing. Then I would like to get married, I guess. Last, I would love for my mother to hear my voice since she is deaf and has never heard it, or anything, before. Warrick, you are the only one remaining."
Warrick stood up and moved over to the stereo and put in a CD, then pushed play. He began to sing Ray-J's "One Wish" as he walked over to Catherine and took her hand.
Damn baby As a matter of fact I was the one who said I love you first First one, I would create a heart changing love If I had one wish, we would be best friends If I had one wish Now tell me is this the only way I can get you right back in First one, I would create a heart changing love If I had one wish, we would be best friends I don't even know how we ended upon this road If I had one wish, we would be best friends
Just don't understand where we went wrong
I gave you my heart
I gave you my soul
I gave you...
It was about eight years ago, don't act like you don't know
We were sittin' at home in your mama's livin' room
Cause, we couldn't be alone
See your mama knew I was something else, she knew how I felt
Back then we were in school; and that's your favourite excuse
Growin' up I was a fool; and I can't lie I'm missing you
Listen and don't trip
I think I need a bottle with a genie in it
Here's my wish list
Second one, I'll take yours and fill it all the way up
Third one, but I don't need a lot of wishes cause I'll be okay if I get one
Love would never end, it would just begin
If I had one wish, you would be my boo
Promise to love you, trust me I'll trust you
If I had one wish, we would run away
Making love all day, have us a baby
If I had one wish, I'd make you my whole life
And you'd be my wife, make it right this time
One wish, one wish, one wish
One wish, one wish, one wish
One wish, one wish, one wish
One wish, one wish, one wish
If so then searchin' I'll go, then I can have you for sho
Then you'll be loving me, holding me, kissing me
So girl don't tell me what I'm feeling is make believe
I swear if I lose a second chance with you
I wouldn't know what to do
I'd probably check myself into some kind of clinic
I couldn't be alone because without you I'm sick
Here's my wish list
Second one, I'll take yours and fill it all the way up
Third one, but I don't need a lot of wishes cause I'll be okay if I get one
Love would never end, it would just begin
If I had one wish, you would be my boo
Promise to love you, trust me I'll trust you
If I had one wish, we would run away
Making love all day, have us a baby
If I had one wish, I'd make you my whole life
And you'd be my wife, make it right this time
If I had one wish
And, even though we are grown, Girl I just want you to know
Love would never end, it would just begin
If I had one wish, you would be my boo
Promise to love you, trust me I'll trust you
If I had one wish, we would run away
Making love all day, have us a baby
If I had one wish, I'd make you my whole life
And you'd be my wife, make it right this time
As the song finished the team clapped in approval of his ability to sing beautifully. While they were clapping, he got down on one knee and pulled out a diamond ring with a white gold band.
"How about we make one of our wishes come true? Will you spend the rest of your life with me?"
As the teary eyed Catherine nodded yes, Warrick pulled out another ring box.
"You know polygamy is illegal Warrick." Sara stated sarcastically.
"It's for the only other girl in my life besides Catherine." Catherine pulled her hand away from Warrick in confusion.
"No babe, I didn't mean it like that. I was going to ask you if you thought Lindsay would want to spend the rest of her life with you and me as her parents." As he said this, he opened the second ring box revealing a small ring with tiny diamonds around the band.
"Warrick, it's beautiful. She'll love it, but you will have to ask her yourself. I love you." Catherine replied as she pulled Warrick into a hug. The moment was broken as everyone's pagers went off signaling they had to get back to work.
Catherine and Warrick were the first ones to head for the door.
"Congrats Cath and Warrick!" The team shouted at the new engaged couple as they went to their vehicles.
"Thanks guys!" The two said in unison.
"Good question tonight Sara." Greg said as he tried to plant a kiss on her cheek, but only managing to get a slap on the back of his head. He decided it was time for him to go back into his lab.
"Thanks, that's what I'm here for." Sara said as if she was depressed. She looked up just in time to see Nick sit down next to her.
"Why the long face Sidle?" Nick asked as he got comfortable next to his girlfriend, who the lab still was oblivious of knowing about.
"What long face, you're here now." She gave him the gap-toothed smile that made him melt.
"Are you sure?" He asked as he pulled out a ring box.
"Nick this is no time to joke about marriage. Warrick and Cath just got engaged."
Without hesitation, Nick got down on one knee and said, "Who's joking? Sara, we have been dating without anyone knowing about it for a little over a year. I have decided I want to live the rest of my life with you and grow with you. I'm asking you now because I know you don't like to bring attention to yourself, but I want the whole world to know that you are mine and I am yours. So how about it darlin'?" The last sentence had a thicker Texan drawl than the others. He cracked open the velvet box, that had stayed closed for solong, to reveal a solitare diamond on a platinum band.
Sara broke down crying. "Yes Nick! Yes, the answer's yes!"
Greg heard Sara crying and yelling, so he ran to the break room window only to find Nick and Sara in a gentle embrace. He noticed a ring on Sara's left ring finger. Damn, I knew they had to be more than friends. Maybe I can seduce Sara and she will break it off. Nick started to tickle Sara and she tried to squirm away from him. They ended up on the floor laughing. No, I couldn't do that to them, they seem so happy together. As he finished his thought, he decided he was going to find as many people to tell as he could.
A/N: I dunno, should I continue or not? If I do continue I'm going to need a little bit of help on where to go from here. Please review so I know whether to keep going or not.You've read if you've gotten this far, so please review. One shot or not, you decide. Enough of my babbling! CSI-Sidle-Willows out!
