I've finally decided to update this story as I was being bombarded with e-mails asking me to continue, so here it is another chapter.
DISLAIMER I do not own any of the following characters.
Sara flew down the corridor, exited the building and kept on going. She reached her car, fumbling in her pocket for her keys. In her frustration she dropped them. Picking them up she got into her car and drove off unaware that fellow CSI Nick Stokes was following her in his car.
She drove through town wondering where to go. She didn't want to go home and she definitely didn't want to go back to the lab yet. Finally she stopped at the park.
Nick Stokes watched Sara park her car near the park. Being careful to park a safe distance away from her he parked his car and got out. Sara was headed along the path, her hands in her pockets and her head down. Once she was a considerable distance away he started to follow her.
Sara walked along the path, came to bench across from some fountains ad sat down. Less than five minutes later she was looked up to see Nick approaching her carrying two enormous strawberry ice-creams. He sat down silently and hand handed her one. She couldn't help but smile at the gesture.
" How'd you know I was here?" She asked, licking her ice-cream.
" I followed you" Nick said simply.
They silently ate their ice-creams. Once they were finished Sara sat silently studying the enormous fountain in front of them.
" I'm boiling" Sara said fanning her face with her hand.
" You just had a huge ice-cream" Nick replied smiling.
" I know" Sara admitted " But it's like a hundred degrees out."
" Well there is only solution" Nick said.
" Oh yeah. What's that?" Sara asked.
Nick grabbed her hand and dragged her towards the fountain. They stopped in front f it.
" Yes Nicky. I see the fountain," She said sarcastically.
She looked around her and then turned back to Nick, but before she could say anything she got a face full of water.
" Gotcha" Nick said laughing.
Sara stood face dripping. " You're dead meat Stokes" She said pretending to be angry.
She grabbed a discarded plastic cup, scooped some water into it from the fountain and chucked it at Nick. Before long they were in a fully fledged water fight using cups, hands, just about anything to throw water at each other. Sara then took it one step further. She pushed Nick right into the fountain. She burst out laughing at the look on his face.
" I can't believe you just did that," He said in utter disbelief.
Sara grinned. Nick stuck his hand up asking Sara to help him out. She took it but before she could help Nick out he had pulled her in. Nick started to laugh.
" I can't believe you fell for that," Nick said grinning.
" Neither can I" Sara said wiping the water from her eyes. She splashed more water at Nick and they were off again having a water fight right in the fountain.
Finally exhausted they climbed out.
" We'd better head back to the lab," Nick said as they walked back along the path.
" I know" Sara replied, wringing out her t-shirt. " I just don't feel like going back."
" Okay" Nick said turning to face her. " I'll make you a deal"
" I'm listening" Sara said smiling.
" If you come back to lab with me I'll treat you to dinner tonight. Anywhere you want."
" Anywhere?" Sara questioned.
" Anywhere" Nick replied.
" Okay" She said " But I'll hold you to that."
They climbed into Nick's car, both of them soaking wet.
" Oh wait" Sara said before they took off " What about my car?"
" You can get it later."
The two of them arrived back at the lab ten minutes later still soaking wet. They headed towards Grissom's office, Sara laughing hysterically at one of Nick's jokes.
They bumped into Grissom and Catherine before they reached his office. Sara stopped laughing.
Catherine and Grissom looked them up and down.
" What happened to you?" Catherine asked a puzzled look on her face.
Nick and Sara smiled at each other.
" Umm. We had a little water fight," Nick answered.
" Mmm. I can see" Catherine said smiling.
" You were gone for ages" Grissom said. " Where were you?"
Catherine elbowed him in the ribs. Sara and Nick had been gone for nearly two and a half hours but Catherine was just glad to see Sara back safely and with a real smile on her face.
" We were at the park," Sara said looking at Grissom.
" Well you're her now" He said. " Sara. You're with Catherine and me and Nick you're with Warrick."
Sara couldn't help but look disappointed. " Can't Nick and I work the same case?"
" Why?" Grissom asked.
Before Sara or Nick could reply Catherine intervened.
" Of course" She said. She knew it wasn't likely that Grissom would let them since he had already assigned them to different cases. " Sara you can work with Nick on his and Warrick's case and Warrick can work on our case.
" Thanks Catherine" Nick said grabbing Sara's hand and dragging her off down the hall to find Warrick before Grissom could stick his oar in and say no.
Six hors later…
" Hey Sara" Nick said walking into the break room. " You ready for dinner?"
" You bet" She said smiling.
Warrick who overheard their conversation looked up from the computer screen.
" Oooh Nicky are you taking Sara out on a date?" He said smiling
Nick just laughed it off and he and Sara headed for his car.
" Would you like it if it were a date?" Sara asked Nick.
Nick remained silent for a few minutes. Then truthfully answered.
" Yes"
Sara looked at him. She smiled and took his hand in hers.
" So would I" She replied.
" Really?" Nick said very surprised.
" Yes" She said and the walked hand in hand to Nick's car.
Instead of going to a restaurant they went back to Nicks place and together they cooked dinner. After dinner they sat on the couch watching a movie that was on tv.
Nick had his arm round Sara. Sara sat with her head resting on Nick's shoulder. She was really tired and as she was falling asleep she realised how much she liked Nick and that she really felt safe with him.
Nick realized that Sara had fallen asleep and he smiled. Catherine had told him why Sara took off when she had walked in on them earlier that day and he was pleased that he trusted him. Before long Nick had fallen asleep aswell.
A few hours later Sara woke up and Nick followed suit. He smiled at her as she stretched, exposing her stomach which was no longer flat. Nick hadn't really noticed but she had a considerable bump.
" You want a drink" Nick asked her, standing up and heading towards the kitchen.
" Yes please" She replied following him.
" Nick. Can I ask you something?"
" Sure Sara" He replied.
She took a deep breath. " Why would you want to be with me? I mean I single, pregnant with twins that aren't yours and…
Nick cut in.
" You're pretty, funny, loyal and I love you."
" You what?" She asked her mouth dropping open.
