Nick sat in the break room of the crime lab with Greg and Catherine idly eating lunch as he filled in some paperwork, this shift had been dragging by rather slowly and while he waited on some results from trace Nick figured that he might as well get rid of some of his paperwork whilst he was at it. Given the amount of cases that he was working on at the moment, sometimes the paperwork would build up and it was always best to avoid that and get it done whilst the information was still fresh in his head. That way he wouldn't have to wrack his mind in a few days time when it came to writing the case up or in the inevitable future when the case was going to trial and he'd be called up to give evidence. Nick had learned early on that it was better to crack on with the paperwork as quickly as possible to prevent it all from piling up and giving him a massive headache. At first Nick sat and got on with his work, occasionally stopping to take a bite of his food or share a joke with Greg as the two of them casually worked but eventually he became aware of Catherine occasionally glancing over at him with a bemused smile on his face. Nick didn't think it meant anything at first but over time it became apparent that something he was doing was of great amusement to him and finally the curiosity got the better of Nick.

"What's up Cath?

"What's her name?" Catherine asked not beating around the bush and Nick had no idea how Catherine could have possibly have known that. As far as Nick could recall he hadn't told anyone yet that he was seeing someone, he had been purposely keeping it quiet because of the bad luck that seemed to follow him when it came to his dating life. "I've seen that look in your eye before Nicky, you've met someone and judging by how happy you've been these last few weeks and that grin on your face you must really like her."

"You're seeing someone? Why didn't you tell me man?" Greg questioned as he stopped doing what he was doing to take part in the conversation.

"Okay I admit I have been seeing someone for a few weeks, I didn't want to make a big deal out of anything so I've kept it quiet because I wanted to see where things going, if they were even going anywhere and they are. I didn't think you guys were so fully invested on my love life." Nick said with a small yet amused shake of his head, no doubt the rest of the lab would know all about this by the end of shift. After the whole Sara and Grissom being an item for a few years revelation a couple of years back, the whole lab kept their ears to the ground and eyes wide open for any hint of romance between anyone. For a bunch of scientist and criminalists they sure liked to gossip.

"C'mon Nicky you can tell us a few things about her, give us something to settle our enquiring mind." Catherine prodded poking Nick a few times for good measure. "So give it up, what's the lucky ladies name?"

"Well her name is Dr. Savannah Wilde and I met her a few weeks back after we went to the diner after shift and we got talking after I bumped into her so she gave me her number and here we are seven weeks later." Nick said deciding not to go into the finer details of how he and Savannah met as it was something that he didn't really want to share. There were some things about his life that Nick wanted to keep private not to mention Greg would rib him senseless if he found out how he had asked out Savannah. Just thinking about the lollipops and steak line still brought a smile to Nick's face. Catherine made a sound that sounded like approval or rather vested interested and Nick knew that she'd want more information than what he had already given up to her and Greg. The question now was, how much information was Nick going to give up? He didn't want to give up Savannah's life story but if he didn't feed his co-workers enough information to satisfy them then they would keep digging for more information.

"A doctor that's very impressive, what kind is she? Psychiatrist? Medical?" Catherine questioned as Nick took a sip from the bottle of water that was sitting on the table next to him.

"Pediatric surgeon, well she's a pediatric surgical fellow." Nick announced and the memory of Savannah defending her profession to him the first time they met came back to him and it caused him to laugh. Her passion towards her job and the kids she worked with was simply amazing and it was one of the reasons why Nick liked her so much. Most people seemed to spend their time complaining about their dead end jobs but not Savannah, she relished her job despite the long hours that came with it. If she complained about anything, it was about the interns she was dealing with and getting asked to pull a double shift.

"Okay I'm liking what I'm hearing so far but tell me about this Savannah of yours, what's she like? I'm guessing that she's pretty special and knowing your eye Nick, she was pretty attractive as well."

Savannah Wilde. There were not enough words in the world to describe that woman Nick had gotten to know over the last few weeks. Savannah was different to most of the women he had dated, she spoke her mind and possessed this positive outlook on life. Savannah was beautiful Nick wouldn't deny it, in fact he would be the first one to admit it. However Nick was more attracted to her humour and positive outlook on life along with her strong work ethic. "She's beautiful Cath, Sav really is and she got so many different sides to her. Savannah is completely dedicated to her work and the amount of energy she pours into the kids she works with is incredible. Savannah is fun to be around and it doesn't take much to make her laugh as she has this childish sense of humor from working with kids all day. But as much as there is this easy going side to her, she can be serious and there's more to her than meets the eyes. She's really into old books and I found out the other day that she was trained to sing classical music and like me she comes from a big family and she's a twin–"

"–She's a twin? Nick you have to introduce me to her twin." Greg interrupted and Nick could have sworn he saw stars in Greg's eyes at the mention of twins.

"Trust me man, Savannah's twin is not your type so don't even go there because you are so barking up the wrong tree Greggo." Nick warned because despite the fact that he had only said twin he didn't specify whether Savannah had a twin sister or brother but Greg had jumped to the conclusion that it was a sister. Boy was he going to be surprised when he found out that wasn't the case. But for now Nick would sit back and allow Greg to dig himself further into a very deeper hole than the one that he was currently in.

"How is it not my type? I don't even have a type and twins are hot, everyone knows that Nick…" Greg stated and Nick was trying his hardest not to laugh as he should have known that Greg would have said something like that as this was the guy who used to keep porn stashed away in the lab. Then there was the whole checking out his date's DNA which was a whole other matter but Greg had come a bit of a way since then. However much so, there was still some parts of that goofy lab tech that remained.

"Get your mind out of the gutter Greggo, it's never going to happen as I'm not going to introduce you. Besides Savannah's twin is a cardio surgeon and according to her they are the most arrogant people you will ever meet followed by plastic and neuro surgeons They are bossy, have god complexs and the ego the size of the grand canyon . Secondly Savannah doesn't have a twin sister, she had a twin brother and before you ask she has no sisters, she has four older brothers." Nick revealed causing him and Catherine to laugh whilst Greg briefly scowled before muttering something under his breath and returning to his paper.

"You sound like you really like this Savannah." Catherine noted.

"I do Cath, she's a really great person and I'd think you'd really like her as Savannah is different and I know people always say that. But her outlook on life is something incredible and the way she sees things is really interesting. Call it quirkiness but it's all apart of her charm." Nick replied, finding that he couldn't help but smile.

"From what I'm hearing it sounds like you feel pretty serious about this one and I'd love to meet her someday, she must be a quite a catch if you like her this much."

Nick could feel himself blush slightly, given his track record with women he was playing this one carefully as to not screw anything up and so far nothing had gone wrong and Nick intended to try and keep it that way. He really liked Savannah and he wanted to see where this could lead as she was the first women that Nick had felt a real connection to in a long time. Sure Savannah was beautiful but the attraction between the two of them wasn't the only reason why the two of them were still seeing each other. The attraction was still there but Nick enjoyed Savannah's company, he liked how they both made other laugh and how comfortable they ere with each other. They always had something to talk about, so far there hadn't been that awkward silence where there was nothing to say. Nick really enjoyed the time he was spending with Savannah. They both understood that the other had a career and they worked a lot of hours but Savannah seemed as determined as Nick to make the relationship work. Their careers were a big part of their life but it didn't define them and it wouldn't define their relationship. "It's still early days Cath but I feel good about this one so I'm taking it slow."

"Well Nicky, it would be good for you to find someone who makes you happy and who you can settle down with. Handsome guy like you deserves to have some kids and no doubt it'll make your mother happy so don't go too slowly." Catherine warned in a teasing manner as she got up from her seat.

Nick laughed off Catherine's suggestion, he had been dating Savannah for seven weeks and the idea of kids was say off in the distant future as he wasn't even sure they'd still be together in another seven weeks let alone a few years or however long it was before couples decided to have kids. Sure his mom was expecting for him to provide her with a couple more grandchildren but Nick was in no real rush at the moment. Right now the two of them were just enjoying each others company and getting to know each other whilst working out the dynamics of their relationship whilst trying to juggle their hectic work schedules. For now he'd just he enjoy his time with Savannah and relax and see where things went. But kids were a nice thought. However right now he was only concerned with being right here in the present with Savannah.
