Sara opened her eyes and watched Nick sleep. She smiled at the memory of last night, the passion from the past years of being together yet not together in the way she wanted to be. She shivered slightly and pulled the covers up to her chin and snuggled into Nick as much as she could. Nick woke up slowly and looked over at Sara. "Morning"
"Morning..." She smiled back. She reached up to kiss him and then sighed.
"Have a good sleep?" Nick leaned up on his elbow and looked at her.
"Yes, I haven't slept that good in a long time..." She smiled while snuggling into him again and drawing circles on, his now fully exposed chest.
"What about you?"
"I had a great sleep... the best one in a while..."
Nick smiled at her and shivered a little under her touch.
She sat up a little to see the time, "Wonder if Warrick and Jan went out?" She asked going back to her orignal postion.
"Knowing Warrick, If he saw her last night, then they probably did"
Sara smiled. She was so happy remembering the first time they kissed, remembering their first date. "Wait here." She grabbed his shirt and shoved it on.
Nick sat up and leaned back on the head board. Walking out to the hall. She smiled picking something up and came back in the room. She ran back to the bed not removing the shirt but wrapping the covers round her bare legs, "Look!" She held up Storkes the puppy.
"Strokes!" Nick grinned at the plush puppy he bought for Sara. He took it in his arms and gave it a look over.
She smiled at him and looked at the shirt, she loved this one, it was her favourite. smiling as she smelt his aftershave on it. Sara rested her head on his chest and hugged him with the arm which was across his chest. Nick wrapped his arm around Sara and held Strokes in the other arm. "he looks almost exactly the same as when I bought him for you..."
"I know... almost?" she frowned,
"Well... his fur is a little darker and not as shiny... but i think thats it..."
Sara smiled, "He's an old puppy now... funny, seems like yesturday!" She giggled.
"I know..." Nick smiled at her.
"Nick..."
"Yea?"
Sara pushed herself upright so she sat beside him and looked into his eyes, "I... Well... I love you." She smiled.
"I know...." Nick whispered. " And you know that I love you too... right?"
She kissed him, "Make me pancakes?" She smiled innocently.
Nick chuckled. "Alright then." He put on his pants and went to the kitchen.
Sara smiled as he walked out, she spied the puppy, and grinned following him out to the kitchen.
---------------------------------
Gil woke up and looked over at Catherine, still asleep in his bed. He smiled to himself.
Catherine mumbled something in her sleep and rolled over.
Gil chuckled softly and pulled the covers up around her.
Lynsey opened the door slowly, "Mom?" She whispered.
Gil looked over at the young girl and smiled at her. "Shh... your mother's still asleep... can I help?"
"Uncle Gil? Umm, I was just wanting breakfast..." The little girl looked a little confussed.
"Alright... I'll be right down... " Gil smiled
"Thanks!" She smiled. *Why did uncle and mom sleeping together?* She pondered.
Gil quietly climbed out of bed and grabbed his pants and shirt and put them on.
Lynsey sat in the kitchen in silence. She didn't wonder if her mom and Mr. Grissom had a 'thing'. She smiled and said outloud, "She deserves to be happy."
Gil walked in and smiled at Lynsey. "So what will it be today?"
Catherine yawned and stretched. She turned over to say morning to Gil, he wasn't there. She frowned and grabbed her dressing gown and went to the kitchen.
"Umm, muffins!" She smiled.
"Its too early for that young lady!" Catheirne smiled.
"ahh... Good Morning Cath..."
"Mommy!" Lynsey ran over and gave her a hug, "Mom are you and Uncle Gil going out?"
Gil cleared his throat and looked at the floor. "Um.. I'll just be over here making breakfast..."
"Ummmm, well you see Lynsey," Catherine didn't know how to answer, where they dating? what was happening between them? All of a sudden they just seemed to spark and the fire that was there was back. She couldn't tell her daughter she had never stopped thinking about Gil, even when she was with Eddie.... "Well hunny... You can stop calling him uncle Gil, and I'll tell you later, Gil might get embarrassed!" She smiled.
"Ok mom!" Lynsey accepted this and walked off, "Pancakes!!!" She smiled.
"Pancakes it is then..." Gil smirked at Lynsey and started making pancakes
Catherine walked up behind Gil to whisper in his ear, "Are we 'going out'?"
"I think so...." Gil turned around and gave her a quick kiss
Catherine smiled and set the breakfast table for three.
--------------------------------
Warrick yawned and looked over to Jan smiling.
"Good Morning... er... afternoon..."Jan laughed.
He cracked his back, car's weren't the BEST place to express how much you missed someone.
"Hey..." He moved into a more comfortable position. "Sleep well?"
"yea, pretty good... considering." Jan smiled
He laughed, "Well this is a first anyway! Maybe we should drive back to mine?"
"that sounds like a good idea..."
Warrick grabbed his pants and shirt. With some difficulty he put them n.
Jan finished getting dressed and climbed up into the passenger seat.
"My shoes?" Warrick asked.
"Here they are..." He reached over and put them on, "Ok, home."
Jan smiled at him and strapped herself in
Warrick pulled over to his and smiled.
He got out and stretched properly. "Ahhhhhhhhh!"
Jan climbed out and cracked her neck to the side.
Warrick oppend the front door, "You coming in?"
"Yep..." Jan walked inside. "Nice place.... where's your bed?" She grinned.
Warrick looked at her in surprise, "Wh.. wh.... what?"
Jan laughed. "I'm joking... I just wanted to take another short nap... except somewhere a little more comfortable..."
"Ohh right! Third door on the left... Are you staying with greg?" Warrick smiled.
"Yep... why?"
"He might be worried, I'll call him for you.. go to sleep..." He kissed her forehead and walked to the phone.
Jan smiled and walked to Warrick's bedroom and crawled onto the bed and fell asleep.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Nick strapped himself in and looked over at Sara. "All set?"
Sara smiled, "Can't we just stay in bed?" She never thought she'd say that.
Nick smirked at her. "If only we could.... but duty calls..."
Sara smiled kissing his cheek. Nick started up the Tahoe and started driving to CSI. She smiled watching him. *I love him* she thought smiling. Nick Grinned to himself as he pulled up in the parking lot. He leaned over to Sara and gave her a quick kiss before getting out. Sara held Nick's hand while walking into the break-room. Nick opened the door for her and walked over to the couch with Sara and took a seat.
Warrick waved over, "Hey guys, how are you both?" He asked grinning.
"Great!" Nick had a smile on his face. "How about you, man?"
"Same! Best day ever!"
Sara raised her eyebrow, "So you and Jan hooked up then?"
Warrick turned red, "Well... ummm... well... yeah..."
Nick nodded and winked at Warrick. "Right on, man..."
"Evenin' children, lets get to business." Catherine said walking in with the files needed. She sat at the table.
Sara looked at the others confussed.
"Where's Griss? His day off today?" Nick asked.
"Griss has days off?" Warrick said in shock.
"Grissom's using his day off?" asked Sara, also in shock.
"Guess he's too tired... right Cath?" Nick asked with a sly smile, his mind in the gutter.
Catherine nodded, "Yes to both!" She grinned, "I'm in charge tonight, so best behaviour... no making out in the Lab..." She looked at Sara and Nick.
"Ok mom..." Nick joked
Catheirne smiled, "For both those comments you get to work with me. Sara you're with Warrick. Nothing fancy, a robbery and hold up...." She smiled at Nick.
"Hey.. no fun...." Nick pouted.
Sara stood up and Warrick smiled, "I'll take care of her!" He winked.
Sara kissed Nick on the lips, "See you soon hun." She whispered in his ear.
Catherine watched the two go and saw the lost puppy look Nick had watching her leave.
Nick watched Sara leave and wanted to go run after her. He sighed amd looked back at Cath. "You're evil..." He smiled jokingly at her.
"I know! Shall we? Ohh Did Jan stay at Warrick's last night?" She asked when they where walking outside.
"I think so..." Nick smiled.
"Catherine, Nick..." smiled Ecklie walking past going home from his shift.
"Ecklie." She nodded and walked to her Tahoe. "That guy is weird!"
Ecklie grabbed his cell and dailled Conrad's number.
Conrad picked up his phone. "Conrad."
"It's Ecklie... She's at 'his'."
"You all set?"
"Yea... I'm all set." Conrad smiled into the phone.
Conrad cradled the phone between his chin and his shoulders. "So just tell when and where... and I'm there."
"You get him... I'll get her. See you at the place?" He said.
"See-ya there..." Conrand hung up the phone and got to work.
