OOPS. NICKS POV

I just got off shift, my eyes were barely staying open. As I walk out of the locker room Greg stops me. "Hey Nicky!" He was

about to get on my last nerve because he was hyped up on coffee and was talking a mile a minute. "Hey Gregg." I said sleepily.

"Guess what I heard." I roll my eyes "what?" "I heard from Warrick that there was going to be a hot new lab rat starting

tomorrow and she's related to a certain Texan CSI How I don't know but…." I yell "Greg! slow down, go and do anything but

bug me please. I slip past him and head for home.

I put my key in the door and I notice that it is unlocked. "Hmmmmmmmm Sara must be already home." As I walk in, I hear the

shower running. I tap gently on the door. "Love are you in there", no answer. I walk into the family room on the other side of the

house and see only Sara pointing a gun at something or someone. As I get closer I start talking to Sara. "Sara whats going on?" I

Enter the room and she kisses me, finally after a minute or two we come up for air and that's when I see her trembling on the

couch. She was sobbing. I couldn't help but die inside my girlfriend was pointing a ;\loaded gun at my baby girl. "Oh my gosh,

sweetheart" I said soothingly as I go over to the twenty year old on the couch. "shhh its okay, SARA put down the gun NOW." I

say sternly. Sara opens her mouth to refuse but I beat her to it. "NOW" she then cooperated and does. After about five minutes

the girl on the couch starts to talk. "I came home and started to take a shower and she grabbed me and threw me on the couch and

started to call grandpa when you came in and…." " I know shhh its gonna be okay." I comforted her while rubbing her back. As I

look up to see Sara she looks as if I just cheated on her. " go take a shower and get dressed while I talk with Sara, Okay" " yes

sir" she said as she got up. I got up and went to stand next to Sara "Sara.." I began to say but I never got to finish "Who was

that?" she yelled. I calmly took her by the hand and lead her to the couch "Sara…." I began again "…. When I was 16 I made a

mistake I got a classmate pregnant after a dance. Later she told me she was pregnant and she was going to keep the baby so I told

her that I would always be there for her and that I wanted to be the baby's father.." Sara just nodded "… She was 6 months

pregnant when there was a car accident, she was pronounced dead on arrival they rushed her to the Emergency room and

performed an Emergency C-section on her and I met my daughter for the first time I named her Suzette Nicole Stokes, That's

what her mother wanted her to be named. When she was four we moved to Vegas and the night shift team became her family.

When she turned 16 she was very smart so she went off to college to become a forensic scientist just like her daddy and she

graduated when she was 19 with honors and then she stayed at my parents house for a couple weeks by then she had turned 20

and she called and said she'd be coming home . Obviously she came home early before I could tell you about her, and now I

don't know how I'm going to tell her that my girlfriend didn't know who she was because I haven't told anyone new at the lab

about her and that it was on accident that you pointed a loaded gun at her." Sara just laid her head down on my shoulder and

cried.
