Author notes 2: I can't remember mos to the dialogue from this particular scene. So it's not all the same.
NOVEMBER - 13TH
CSI
Nick was standing in the locker room changing out of his clothes so they could be decontaminated. He still had to go to the DNA and get the results from Greg. But he smiled that wasn't such a bad thing. He'd get to see his lover some today. Nick smiled and headed to the DNA lab. Greg was listening to his music loud. Nick smirked and came up behind him and slipped his arms around his waist. "Mmmm. Gotta be the guy I left earlier." Greg said.
Nick smiled. "It better be the only guy you leave in Bed. Whatcha got for me?" Nick asked stepping back.
Greg smiled. "The stuff you brought me earlier. Is well let's just say not found in common things." Greg said. Nick nodded and looked at the file. Greg pulled the see through board over and starting drawing.
" See everyone thought I got this job by sleeping with Catherine." Greg said turning and looking at Nick.
Nick just glared. "Yeah right. So what are we looking at?" Nick asked. Greg walked over to a book.
"Oh this is worse than I thought." Greg said.
"What. What is it G." Nick asked.
"It's Bad." Greg said.
"What. Small pox. Anthrax?" Nick asked.
"Ricians." Greg said.
Nick was shocked. "What. I was in that place 8 hours man." Nick said.
Greg held his hand up. "It takes like 2 weeks to kill you." Greg said to him earning him a glare.
Greg smirked. 'Alright have you have any of these symptoms. Sweats?" Greg asked. Nick shook his head.
"Rash?" Greg asked.
"No." Nick said.
"Cramps. Feeling nauseated?" Greg asked.
Nick shook his head. "No." Nick said.
Greg smiled. "Then there's nothing to worry about." Greg said.
Nick nodded. "Ok. I'll go let Grissom know." Nick said leaving the lab.
END OF SHIFT
Nick was at his and Greg's house laying on the bed when Greg came in 3 hours after his shift was supposed to end. In that time Nick had been throwing up not knowing why. Greg came in to the room and sat down on the bed. "Hey. You're getting in late?" Nick said.
Greg nodded and toed off his shoes. "Day shift's man didn't show til like 9:30. So I stayed." Greg said glancing back at Nick who was watching him. Greg then noticed the paleness of his lovers face.
"You ok?" Greg asked.
Nick nodded. "Just having problems with my stomach." Nick said trying to brush it off. Greg looked at him with a "Don't give me that shit" look.
Nick shrugged. "I came home and got sick. Probably just something I ate. Or maybe it's the side effects of the ricians." Nick said.
Greg smirked. "Yeah right. I think you need rest. And frankly I could use some shut eye myself." Greg said. Nick nodded and turned onto his side. But was rewarded with his stomach rejecting that and making it self known. Nick rushed to the bathroom where Greg heard him puking up whatever he had left in his stomach. Greg got a glass of water and a wet wash cloth and knelt down beside the love of his life. Greg ran his hand up and down Nick's back hoping to sooth the man. Nick looked up at him and just sighed.
"Been like this since I got home 3 hours ago." Nick said taking the water from Greg's outstretched hand.
"If it don't pass before say before tomorrow morning. You're going to see the doctor. And there won't be no griping about it." Greg said.
Nick nodded. "Yes mother." Nick said sarcastically.
Greg smirked. "Think you can make it to bed?" Greg asked. Nick took Greg's hand and pulled himself up and leaned over on Greg who ran his hand over Nick's back soothingly. Greg walked em back into the bedroom and helped Nick settle in bed and then settled beside him.
"Greg?" Nick asked from his side.
"Yeah?"
"Think we could get a cat or dog?" Nick asked.
Greg smirked. "Didn't think you wanted one." Greg said running his hand over the exposed skin of Nick's lower back.
"I've always wanted to get a dog. Keep me company while you work those long hours." Nick said.
Greg nodded. "What about when we both work long hours. Who'll take care of it then?" Greg asked.
Nick sighed. "Never thought of that." Nick said snuggling tighter to Greg's side.
"Nicky. Get some sleep." Greg said kissing his head. Nick sighed and closed his eyes.
NOVEMBER - 15
2 DAYS LATER
Greg had won and made Nick go to the doctor. Greg was gonna go with him but Day shift called and needed him to cover them. So here Nick sat waiting to be seen. Nothing would stay down. When the nurse came and got him he smiled politely and followed her into the examining room. Before he came into the waiting area they had him in the lab taking blood from him. He changed into the god awful gown that they provided him and sat on the table waiting for the doctor. "Hello Mr. Stokes. I'm Doctor Cantwell." The doctor was about 50 years old. Had nice methodic voice.
"Hi." Nick said shaking his hand. The doctor looked over his chart and then looked at the result of the blood work.
"What seems to be the problem?" He asked.
"For the past few days I haven't been able to keep anything down. I thought it was just the stomach flu but now I don't know." Nick said sheepishly.
The doctor nodded. 'Ok. Lie back on the table and let's have a look." The doctor said. The doctor performed several tests with his hands and when he went to mash into Nick's stomach Nick groaned.
"Ok Mr. Stokes you can sit up now. I have your blood work here and I know what the problem is." The doctor said.
Nick nodded. "Ok. So what is it?" Nick asked.
"I think you're pregnant." The doctor said.
Nick looked at him wide eyed. "T that ain't possible." Nick said in shock.
Doctor nodded. "It is. But it is rare. See some men have a small uterus. Most men don't have it. And it's undetectable without the right tests. If you will let me I want to do a ultrasound and see how long the baby is developed. But by your symptoms I would say not long. Maybe 6 weeks." Doctor Cantwell said.
Nick closed his eyes throat suddenly going dry. "Um sure. But can I make a phone call first?" Nick asked.
Doctor smiled. "Sure. Get dressed and Nancy will show you to the phone." Doctor Cantwell said.
"Thank you. I'll make it quick." Nick said.
"No need. You're my last patient before Lunch. And Lunch ain't very entertaining my wife is nagging the whole lunch hour." He said. Nick smiled politely truth was he needed for Greg to come wake him up. Tell him this is a nightmare. The doctor left and Nick got dressed. Trying to figure out how to tell his Lover he was pregnant. When he didn't truly believe it himself.
