A/N: I don't own CSI or any of its characters but damn I wish I did. Because if I did then Warrick and Catherine would be married with kids by now. Anyway enough of my ranting, just enjoy the story.
Warrick always knew that he would find love and the right someone. He had also thought that he had found this on a few occasions.
When Warrick was in his junior year of high school he met Monica. Monica had the most gorgeous smile he's ever seen up until that moment. Although he was never shy when it came to approaching girls, but he was shy when it came to introducing himself to Monica. But by the end of school Warrick had finally mustered enough courage up to approach her. So after school he caught her by herself and asked her out, and to his surprise she actually said yes. So well into the middle of senior year they had been labeled as an item. But when Warrick told her that he loved her, she seemed shocked and told him that she didn't feel the same way about him, and that was the end of Warrick and Monica.
Warrick always knew what he wanted in a woman: He wanted someone who was nice, smart, wanted to get married, wanted kids, and they would respect his profession.
Warrick thought that he had found all of this with Stacey, but he was wrong again. He had met Stacey in college and they were together until junior year. Warrick thought he had found the one. She loved him and he loved her, she had wanted and fulfilled everything on checklist, or so he thought. When Stacey told him that she didn't want kids that's when their perfect life came crashing down. During the time after their breakup he thought that his heart would never heal, but somehow his heart did heal so he could go on and love again.
When he first became a CSI, he met this beautiful blonde named Catherine. He immediately was attracted to her, but there was one thing that stopped him from really pursuing her, it was the fact that she was married, but not just married ,she was married to an asshole. What made Catherine even more beautiful to him was the fact that she was a great mother to Lindsey, the cutest 3 year old ever. But her marriage didn't stop them from engaging in their flirtatious banter.
Warrick then met Tina, who he thought was his Ms. Right. But about 7 months into their relationship she began to nag him about being a CSI. Warrick seeing that this was probably his last chance to find love stuck it out a little longer.
During this time a newly divorced Catherine and him began spending more time outside of work. He also began spending more time with Lindsey acting as a father figure to her. Unbeknownst to Warrick, Catherine had fallen in love with him. Warrick was always taking Lindsey to the park or the movies, and sometimes he would even read her stories before bedtime. During those story times he really found out how observant this 5 year old was. He flashes back to a bedtime conversation he had with Lindsey.
"So Snow white and the Prince lives happily ever after." Warrick says while closing the book.
"Okay short stuff, time for bed." Warrick said while tucking Lindsey in.
"Uncle Rick, one more story please."
"Sorry Linds, but its way past your bedtime and your mom would kill me if I kept you up any longer. But I'll tell you what I'll do: the next time I'll bring a longer story to add to your collection."
"Okay Uncle Rick, Goodnight."
"Night, Linds." Warrick said while turning off the light and heading toward the door.
"Uncle Rick, are you going to marry my mommy?"
If the light was still on then Lindsey would have seen Warrick's shocked face.
"What makes you say that baby girl?"
"Well you're always around and you make mommy laugh and turn red."
Warrick then walked back to Lindsey's bed and ruffled her hair before kissing her on the forehead. "No, sweetie me and your mommy are just friends. Now get some sleep."
"Okay and I love you Uncle Rick."
"Love you too Lindseroni." Warrick said and then walked out of the bedroom.
Warrick had finally had enough of Tina and ended it with her. He also knew that his heart belonged to someone else and that person only. He knew this because she was the total package, and that he had to tell her how he felt.
Warrick jumped into his Tahoe and began to drive over to her house, and on the way over "Anonymous" by Bobby Valentino began to play, and while listening to the lyrics he began to really think about his love life.

When the song ended , all the pieces of the puzzle finally began to fall into place. The song was like a narrative of his search for love, he was also pretty sure that his search was over.
He pulled into the driveway and hopped out of the car. He ran to her front door and then began to knock while hoping that she didn't go to bed yet. After a few knocks the door finally was opened.
"Warrick what are you doing here it's 1 in the morning?"
"Oh god she looks sexy in just a t- shirt. Stop it Warrick, now is not the time to be thinking about that." Warrick thought referring to her sleep attire.
"I'm sorry to wake you but I just wanted to tell you something."
"Warrick, what is it?"
"Uh, Catherine, I love you." Warrick said and then pulled her toward him for a kiss, when they broke apart she spoke.
"Rick, I loved since I first met you."
"Wow, guess what."
"What Rick?"
"You're my Miss Anonymous." Warrick said as he leaned down for another kiss. Catherine then pulled him into the house and closed the door.
