Prologue
"Do you take Nicholas to be your husband?"
"I do."
"And do you take Sara to be your wife?"
"I do."
"Good. By the power invested in me I pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride."
"Don't they look perfect together?" Catherine asked Grissom, whom she was dancing with.
"Yes they do." He answered, looking at Nick and Sara.
"Do you regret saying no to her?" Catherine asked. Grissom looked at her for a second, then at Sara, happy in Nick's arms.
"No. She's happy. I said no because I realized she loved Nicky and I loved someone else." He replied.
"Oh? May I ask who?" Catherine asked. Grissom leaned down and kissed her.
"Don't think you need to." He said. (This isn't a G/C story... it is N/S but I just had to but that little tidbit in)
"And you're sure that we can have two weeks off?" Sara asked.
"Yes! It's your honeymoon. And if Grissom has any problem he can deal with me." Catherine said. Sara smiled and hugged her friend.
"You are the best." She said. Catherine shrugged as she turned to hug Nick.
"Call when you land." She said. Nick nodded.
"I will Mom." He joked and Catherine glared at him.
"We will Cath." Sara said before one of them got hurt. Greg came forward next.
"If he hurts you, cheats on you, or anything else that's bad I'll kill him for you." He said, hugging Sara.
"Thanks Greg but I don't think any of that is going to be happening." Sara replied, hugging him back. Greg nodded and clapped Nick on the shoulder.
"I'm serious." He muttered.
"Get a life Sanders." Warrick said as he hugged Sara. "Say hi to Mickey for me alright?"
"Hey you get a life Brown. Say hi to Mickey for me. What are you five?" Greg snorted.
"No but you are." Warrick smirked as he pulled Nick into a brotherly hug.
"Come on children." Catherine said, taking them both by the arm. "I want you to be good on the ride home."
The three walked away and Grissom came over.
"Congratulations guys." He said.
"Thanks Grissom." Sara said.
"Yeah thanks." Nick added. Grissom smiled.
"You're lucky Nick. You really are." He said. Nick smiled at his boss then at Sara.
"Yeah I am." He grinned. Grissom quickly hugged Sara and shook hands with Nick.
"Well you guys have to catch a plane early tomorrow so I guess I'll see the two of you in two weeks." He said. "Have a good time."
"I'm sure we will. Disney World. Oh yeah!" Nick laughed.
"Nick we're here." Sara said, shaking his shoulder slowly.
"Later." He muttered and turned his head the other way.
"We're at the airport in Orlando." Sara said, standing up.
"I'm coming." Nick said, waking up immediately and standing up as well. They got off the plane and went to baggage claim. As Nick tried to get through the mob of people to get their stuff Sara sat down on those sucky plastic chairs they have for sitting while you wait for your plane. Finally Nick came back with their bags and Sara was staring over his shoulder at something.
"Oh isn't he cute?" she asked. Nick turned to look at what his wife was looking at and a kid ran into him. He cursed silently and shook his head.
"No." he muttered, rubbing his side.
"Not him. That baby. Oh my God!" Sara said, jumping up and running over to whoever she was looking at. Nick turned around to see her talking animatedly to a blond with a baby in her arms. He rolled his eyes and walked over.
"Tara this is my husband Nick. Nick this is my friend from college Tara and her baby Brandon." Sara said, wrapping her arm around Nick's waist.
"Nice to meet you." He said as Tara eyed him.
"Huh? Oh same here. Sara, Dave is around here somewhere." She said, smiling. Sara paled slightly.
"Dave?" she asked.
"Dave Edwards. God Sara I thought you'd remember your ex-boyfriend well he's my husband now. But then again some people like to put their past behind them." Tara replied. Nick felt his mouth drop open.
"Sara is that you? It is! Sara Sidle. I haven't seen you in years!" a voice exclaimed. Sara paled even more than she already was.
"Dave! How are you?" she asked, putting a cheery smile and excited voice on. Dave wrapped his arms around her.
"Good! How've you been?" he replied.
"Good. This is my husband Nick." Sara said, getting out of Dave's embrace and into Nick's.
"Nice to meet you." Dave said, holding his hand out to shake.
"Likewise." Nick replied, shaking Dave's hand.
"This is my wife Tara." He said.
"We've met and your son Brandon. He's adorable." Nick said, smiling at the baby.
"Yeah. I guess it was a good thing I broke up with Sara. I wouldn't have any of this and you wouldn't have her. Speaking of Brandon do you guys have any kids?" Dave said. Nick looked at Sara, who was looking uncomfortable.
"Yeah. Two. Catherine and Greg. Catherine's a sweetheart but Greg's a troublemaker." Nick lied. Sara looked at him.
"Oh. Do you have any pictures Sara?" Tara asked.
"There all in my bag. Sorry Tara." She replied.
"We really need to get going. It was nice to meet you." Nick said, pulling Sara away gently and out of the airport and into a cab. Once they got to their hotel and into the room Sara broke down crying.
"Baby what's the matter?" Nick asked, alarmed as he pulled her into a hug.
"Tara and I were never friends. Well we were once when Dave and I were going out. They started going out and we broke up. I haven't seen them since graduation. I moved back to San Francisco and they left my mind. Then seeing them at the airport was terrible. When I saw Dave I just wanted to get out of there and when he started asking questions about if we had kids I felt like I was going to die. Tara always had to better in everything and if having kids includes in that then I knew I would have to go through her taunts and torments. Why'd you lie and say Cath and Greg were our kids?" Sara replied.
"Because you looked uncomfortable and I have to protect you in any situation, humiliation being one of them." Nick said, kissing her.
"I got your shirt all wet." Sara laughed, pointing to his shoulder.
"I don't care." Nick said. "Why did Dave break up with you, if you don't mind me asking."
"He said Tara was prettier than me and wasn't obsessed with dead bodies." Sara replied.
"He's blind. You are a billion no a gazillion times better looking than Tara and I'm obsessed with dead bodies too so we're the perfect couple." Nick said. Sara smiled.
"Ah a smile. Thought I wouldn't see one." Nick added.
"Oh Nicky I don't deserve you." Sara moaned.
"Baby why would you say that?" Nick asked, taking her back in his arms.
"Because I'm ugly and boring. You should have someone like Tara. Blond and stupid." Sara replied. Nick kissed the top of her head.
"Sara, please. I need someone smart and didn't I just say you were gorgeous?" he said.
"No. You said I was a gazillion times better looking than Tara." She muttered.
"Well I'm saying it now. You are gorgeous and before you even ask, because I know you are, I married you because I love you and you've got a great personality and I could go on for ever. You're sweet, caring, smart, don't take crap from no one, and you can tolerate Greg." Nick said. "And you can tolerate me too."
"I'm sorry that we ran into them. It's ruining our honeymoon." Sara said.
"We can't help running into people and it's not ruining our honeymoon. Sure we had a bad start but I promise it'll get better." Nick said. "Oh Sara just be happy we're not staying in the same hotel as them. I may kill Dave if I see him again though."
"Go ahead. No one's stopping you." Sara muttered. She ran a hand through her hair and flopped down onto the bed.
"Hey cheer up. Let's go out for dinner." Nick said, kneeling down next to her.
"I'm not hungry." Sara sighed.
"Ok. Lets watch some TV."
"Don't want to."
"What do you want to do?"
"I don't know Nick. Actually I do. I want to sleep. Unlike you I didn't sleep the whole plane ride here." Sara snapped.
"Sorry. I'll leave you alone." Nick muttered and walked out of the room. (They're staying in a suite.) A little while later Sara heard Nick talking.
"Yeah. Been married a day and she's already rejecting me. I understand that she's upset she saw these idiots but like Warrick I'm trying to help her. She's sleeping now."
Sara walked to the door and stood in the doorway.
"No of course not! I had this whole honeymoon planned out and getting out of the airport sucked. You know how it is. One bad thing happens anything else that happens is bad. I wanted us to have fun."
It was dark in the room since Nick had the curtains drawn and all the lights off and when Sara finally spotted him he was sitting on the couch, his cell phone in hand, talking to Warrick. She walked out of the doorway and into a small table. She cursed silently and Nick's head shot up.
"I gotta go. I'll talk to you later." He said and put his phone away. "You're up."
"I didn't sleep." Sara said, leaning down to rub her shin. "So you think it's gonna suck. Why don't we just go home?"
"Sara I didn't mean it like that. I got this feeling that something else is going to go wrong and I wanted us to have fun. No sulk and feel bad about every little thing that happens." Nick said, standing up and walking over to her.
"Why are the lights off? Are we vampires?" Sara asked, switching the subject.
"No. Warrick called and I was so into the conversation I forgot to turn the lights on." Nick replied. "Are you mad at me?"
"No. Honey I'm sorry that I snapped at you but I didn't expect to see them again and on my honeymoon is not the best time to see them. It was all right seeing them again until she brought up the fact that Dave and me use to date. I thought you were going to die." Sara said. "I'm hungry. Wanna get some food?"
"Yes! Do you have to ask?" Nick exclaimed.
"How do you eat so much and still have that sexy body?" Sara asked, linking her arm in Nick's as they went out the door.
"I run after bad guys all day long. I work out when I'm not sleeping or working or being with you. And running after bad guys does happen sometimes." He replied.
A/N: not a very good start but it'll get better... suspenseful and all this good stuff.
