Life Moves On

Nick was laying in bed asleep. He was getting some sleep before he had to be to work in an hour. His cell phone woke him from his sleep.
He grabbed hi cell phone off the nightstand.
"Stokes" he mumbled sleepily.
"Nick, it's Catherine. My mom can't watch Tyler tonight. Lindsay's sick and I don't him to get sick" Catherine said.
"Ok that's fine. I'll just bring him into work" Nick said.
"Ok Nicky. I'll see you soon" Catherine said.
Nick hung up. He'd been wanting to take Tyler to work. He got out of bed and went to the bathroom. He took a quick shower. Then he went to Tyler's room and got Tyler up.
"Wanna go to work with dada buddy?" he asked.
Tyler nodded his head.
Nick changed his diaper and his clothes. Then he carried him downstairs and put him in his highchair. He gave him something small to eat while he packed the diaper bag.
Then he put Tyler's shoes on him. He grabbed his keys and went out to the Tahoe. He buckled Tyler into his car seat and then he got in and started driving.
When he got to the lab he went inside to the locker room. Warrick was in there.
"Hey Nick. Hey Tyler" Warrick said.
"Hey" Nick said as he set Tyler on the bench.
"Why'd you bring him in?" Warrick asked.
"Lindsay's sick" Nick said.
He opened his locker and grabbed his ID badge. He hooked it to his belt. He saw Warrick lift Tyler up.
"Hey buddy. You're wide awake" Warrick said.
"He went to bed at seven. He was tired from all the fun he had at the park earlier" Nick said.
"What'd you do at the park?" Warrick asked.
"Quack" Tyler said.
Warrick laughed.
"Did he just call me a duck?" he asked.
"No he means he fed the ducks at the pond" Nick said with a laugh.
"That's cool buddy. Did you and daddy watch the game earlier. My 49'ers beat the Cowboys" Warrick said.
"Not by much" Nick said.
"They still won. Our team beat daddy's team Tyler" Warrick said.
"Stop trying to brainwash my son. He's a Cowboy's fan" Nick said as he slid his gun into his holster.
He took Tyler from Warrick.
"So that 49'ers hat I bought him is out of the question?" Warrick asked.
Nick shot him a playful glare.
"I'm just playing. I got him a Cowboy's hat. I know you've been looking for one and I saw this today" Warrick said as he took a Dallas Cowboy's hat out of his locker and handed it to Nick.
"Thanks Warrick. This is cool" Nick said.
"Hey, if he's a Cowboy's fan he's gotta show it right?" Warrick asked as he placed the hat on Tyler's head.
"You got it" Nick said.
They went to the break room where Catherine, Sara, and Greg were drinking coffee. Nick set Tyler in a chair and went to himself some coffee.
"Hi cutie" Sara said to Tyler smiled and waved at her.
"Can he my name yet?" Greg asked.
"He's getting there. Right now it sounds like gag" Nick said.
Sara laughed.
"He calls you ra" Nick said.
"What about me?" Catherine asked.
"He says cat. He calls Warrick ick" Nick said.
Grissom walked in.
"Ok assignments. Nick, me and you have a homicide off the strip. Warrick, Catherine, and Sara, you have a double homicide" Grissom said as he handed them the assignment slip.
"Greg, can you watch Tyler?" Nick asked.
"Of course" Greg said as he took Tyler.
"No punk rock" Nick said as he handed the diaper bag to Greg.
"Come on Tyler, I'll introduce you to DNA" Greg said as he walked out.
Everyone headed to their crime scenes.
Note: there's the third chapter. In the next chapter we'll see Greg and Tyler in the lab.
