BASE BALL and BREAKFAST

Spoiler : After the end of season 4, A.U
Summary : A new passion and a new life for Sara, a secret relationship discovered ( Warrick/Sara )
NB : We all know Jorja Fox plays guitar and composes music, so here Sara's new hobby : the music

Sara decided to have a new life, less focused on her work, just after her DUI, as Grissom had suggested to her some months before. However the decision wasn't because of Grissom and her new behaviour must stay a secret because of Warrick, her secret lover. Thanks to him, she now enjoyed to live: to go dancing and to have more of a social life, him and his passion for music. Sara began to write songs and Warrick accompanied her on the piano; it was the best way to avoid nightmares and to their minds off all the tortuous cases they still needed to resolve. But how for long can they keep that secret?
Six months had already run out.

Sara left the bedroom. She woke up a few minutes before and, after writing new songs and taking a shower, she found Warrick in the kitchen.

"Good morning, did you sleep well?" asked Warrick, flipping a pancake in the frying pan.

"Yes, very well, thank you," Sara smiled. "I had a new idea for a song. I just finished writing it but there's only one thing missing: the music."

Warrick grinned. "I'll be with you in a second. I'm making a lot of pancakes."

"Great, I'm really hungry."

Warrick smiled and Sara went to the living-room to re-read the words she had written a few minutes before. Then Warrick came and read the lyrics.

"It will be a beautiful song," Warrick commented.

"It will," said Sara sincerely. "I wrote it in thinking of you."

Warrick kissed her and then went to the piano. Neither of them imagined that all of the team was in Warrick's building to invite him to a base-ball game.

"So, now ring!" said Greg.

"Slow down Greg," warned Catherine standing with him in front of the door.

"For once, Greggo is right. We should also go and ask Sara," replied Nick.

"One minute, do you hear that?" intervened Grissom

"I never loved someone the way that I love you,
I'm fallin' in and out of love with you,
I never loved someone the way that I love you," concluded Sara.

"But that's Sara," murmured Greg.

"Beautiful voice." observed Catherine.

"It's wonderful; you found the music so quickly. You are a genius!" They heard Sara's voice coming from instead the apartment. Warrick rose and kissed Sara.

"Now could we have breakfast?" he proposed kissing her shoulders.

Sara gave a small laugh. "No, stop, that tickles! I have another song to do." Sara stepped away and, when she saw Warrick's disappointed face, she laughed. "Maybe later if you are patient"

Behind the door Greg missed choking himself while Catherine and Grissom looked at each other, surprised and Nick chuckled and rang the bell.

"Perhaps we should leave" proposed Greg

Nick shrugged. "Too late," he said. "And we are all curious!"

"I'll get it," they heard Warrick call.

"It's probably the neighbour," Sara told him. "I asked them to go to the store for us and pick up some strawberries, chocolate and Chantilly." Sara passed the tip of her tongue over her lips while Warrick opened and discovered, surprised, the team.

"Hello Rick, can we come in?" asked Nick. Warrick stood aside, allowing the four of them inside. Sara stood up, curiously noticing that they didn't appear surprised to see her there.

"Hi Sara, you have a beautiful voice." greeted Nick, pleased to see her so embarrassed.

"Not only beautiful, but wonderful." Greg furthered. "Could you sing another song?"

Warrick and Sara looked at each other, happy to not have to face an interrogation, but unfortunately Catherine intervened: "What are you doing here, Sara?"

Sara shrugged her shoulders. "I found a passion for song-writing and singing," she offered. "And, as Warrick could play piano, he asked me to accompany." Sara smiled to Warrick but her smile disappeared with Nick's remark:

"He helped you by tickling you?"

Warrick cleared his throat. "How long were you behind that door?" he asked.

"About 5 minutes. We were going to ring but we heard Sara singing,"explained Nick.

"We are just so surprised," said Catherine.

"Will you sing us that song again?" Greg repeated. Sara glanced to Warrick.

"OK." she relented. "What if I sang you one of my new songs?"

"Why not that one before?" Greg asked.

"No, it is too personal." Sara told him. "I wrote one, a homage to all the women: 'A Woman's worth' " Sara took the lyrics and Warrick went to the piano.

"You could buy me diamonds
You could buy me pearls
Take me on a cruise around the world
Baby you know I'm worth it
Dinner lit by candle
Run my bubble bath
Make love tenderly to last, to last
Cause baby you know I'm worth it"

This song was slow at the beginning and then became quick with Sara letting Warrick have a long solo on the piano. When they finished, the applause was loud and from everybody.

"Thanks," said Sara with a little smile. Then she turned to Warrick.

"I found a small defect," she pointed out a stanza. "We need to have more dynamics in the third verse and then all should be calm, like a lullaby."

They completely forgot their friends standing there. They were in their little world until the doorbell rang again.
