I Do Not Own CSI
"Hello," Sara asked a little loudly.
"Sara?"
"Nick?"
"Am I calling at a bad time? Is everything alright with that baby, I can hear him crying."
"We just pulled him from the bathtub. He's cold, and probably hungry now, too."
"Oh, well I can call back."
"Nah, you're ok. William will calm down once he's warm again."
"Well, I was thinking, I have some holidays coming up in about a week. And seeing as it's your birthday in a week, I was thinking..."
"You want to come out for a visit?"
"Yea, something like that."
"You don't want to spend it with your girlfriend?"
"I do, but I have only seen pictures of William and I miss you, and Griss, too."
"I miss you, too, Nicky. Tell you what, next week sounds great, we can celebrate my birthday out back and under the stars."
"And I can even babysit for the night if you and Griss want to go out for a bit."
"We'll see."
"Sara, he did it again, he peed on me," Gil called out, holding his almost two month old son in front of him.
"Did he really just get peed on," Nick chuckled on the other end.
"Afraid so, for as smart as he is, he tends to forget to cover his son up when changing him."
"Bye, Sar."
"Bye, Nick."
"Nice digs," Nick said as Sara answered the door.
"Thanks, Nicky," Sara replied as Nick pulled her in for a hug.
"You look good, Sara. Motherhood suits you."
"Well, except when it comes to those midnight feedings."
"Speaking of that, where is the little man?"
"Right here," Gil said, coming in with William sitting up in his arms.
"Well, come on over to Uncle Nicky."
"Hey there, William," Nick said, taking the baby and walking into the other room, talking softly to the boy.
"And I'm gonna help you get all the girls," Nick said as William smiled in response.
"You totally understood that, didn't you!?
"I've come to realize that when you mention girls around William, he smiles," Gil said, with his own smile.
"Ladies man already."
"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear Sara, happy birthday to you," Nick and Gil sang as Gil placed a cake in front of Sara, who held a sleeping William in her arms.
"Make a wish, honey," Gil whispered. "I love you."
"I love you, too," Sara said softly. "Love you, too, Nick."
"Right back at ya, darlin'. Now blow out your candles and make a wish."
"Hmm, what to wish for, what to wish for," Sara said, tapping her finger against her lips.
"Sara, you're candles are going to melt all over the cake."
"Ok, ok, I got one," Sara said, taking a deep breath and blowing out all her candles.
"What did you wish for?"
"That's for me to know and you to figure out."
Laughing alerted Nick that the birthday girl and Gil were home from their late movie.
"You two have fun?"
"Yeah, thanks for making me leave the house for a bit, Nick," Sara said with a large smile.
"You're welcome. It looked like you needed some adult time."
"Hmm," Gil said with a smirk, as Sara slapped him on the chest, laughing.
"And I guess you could use some more. Just promise not to be loud," Nick chuckled, leaving the room
"That's a hard promise to keep, Nicky."
"TMI, Sara, TMI!"
"I can't believe the week is up already," Nick said, hopping in his car.
"I know, it feels like you just got here yesterday," Sara said, giving Nick a large hug.
"Next time you come, Nick, bring the girlfriend," Gil said, shaking his hand.
"Will do. May I," Nick asked, taking William from Sara.
"You be good for your mom and dad. If not, there's going to be big trouble from Uncle Nick, ok."
"And remember what I said, I'm going to help you get all the girls," Nick said, getting another smile out of William.
"That's the coolest thing ever," Nick chuckled, passing William back to Sara.
"Drive safely, Nick."
"Always."
"And come back soon now ya here," Sara said with her best Texan accent, making Nick laugh as he got into his car.
