Nick and Sara finished stowing their gear into their lockers. Sara reached
over and placed her hand on Nick's arm, "You know Catherine and Warrick are
going to be hurt we didn't tell them."
Nick nodded, "I know, especially after the conversation Warrick and I had
at breakfast this morning." He chuckled at what Warrick might say if he
had known the truth about Nick's love life. Well he'd find out soon
enough. Nick closed his locker and leaned his shoulder against it arms
crossed in front of him looking over at Sara who had a mischievous grin on
her face. He raised an eyebrow, "What?"
She stepped toward him and wrapped her arms around his neck, "Shift doesn't start for a while." A wide grin broke out over Nick's face. He put his hands on her small waist and pulled her against him, leaning down to kiss her. Sara's tongue demanded entry into Nick's mouth. He readily complied. Their tongues began a slow sensuous dance. His hands began to roam and found their way under the back of her shirt. He could feel her pressing her body against him as he caressed her bare skin. Sara's fingers played at the nape of his neck. She let one hand slide down and pull at the hem of his shirt, sliding her hand underneath to caress his muscular back with her fingers.
The creak of the door caused them to break the kiss, but not before Warrick caught the full display of their affection. They broke apart trying to pull themselves together to see Warrick standing there with a dumbfounded expression on his face. Warrick looked from Nick to Sara and back to Nick with his mouth agape.
Sara began to giggle and Nick couldn't wipe the grin from his face. Nick looked at Warrick with a slightly sheepish expression on his face, "I guess its confession time."
"Damn!" Warrick finally managed, "When did this happen?"
Nick tried to contain his grin, "Well, do you remember when Sara and I had to drive to Arizona to pick up that body we had exhumed?"
Warrick nodded, "Yeah, that was about six month ago." His jaw dropped, "You don't mean to tell me you've been hiding this that long?"
Nick nodded, "Yeah, man, we have." Sara took Nick's hand and smiled at him giving him a nod to continue. "Actually, Warrick, we've got a little more to confess."
Warrick's eyebrows shot up and he looked over at Sara, "Are you pregnant?"
"No!" Sara shook her head a laugh in her voice. "I'm not pregnant." She looked at Nick with a raised eyebrow, "How come that's the first thing people think? First your parents, then Grissom, now Warrick."
Nick looked at Sara with a twinkle in his eyes, "I'm sure that's a reflection on me, Sar, not on you." He caressed her cheek with his fingers.
Warrick stood there, arms crossed in front of him, "So, what else?"
Nick looked over at Warrick, with a lopsided grin on his face, "We eloped."
"Damn!" Warrick exclaimed pulling Sara into a hug, "When did this happen?"
Nick's grin turned a bit sheepish, "About a month ago."
Warrick's jaw dropped.
Sara put her arm on Warrick's arm, "We didn't know how to tell anyone."
A soft smile spread across Warrick's face as he looked at Sara and then over at Nick, "Congratulations."
"Thanks, man." Nick replied.
Sara gave Warrick a curious expression, "Is Catherine here yet?"
"She's probably in the break room," Warrick replied. "You haven't told her yet."
Sara shook her head, "The only people that know are you, Grissom, and Nick's parents."
Nick offered Sara his hand, "I guess there's no time like the present." He let out a deep sigh and the trio headed toward the break room.
Catherine was seated in the break room sipping a cup of coffee. Warrick sauntered in first and walked over to pour himself a cup. Catherine opened her mouth to greet the rest of the team, but her words stopped when she noticed Nick and Sara holding hands. She watched the pair as they silently walked in and got coffee. They were all seated at the table in the middle of the room before Catherine managed to say something. Nick and Sara sat next to each other, their fingers intertwined.
Catherine raised her eyebrows in a curious expression, "Did I miss something?"
Nick chuckled, "Whatever do you mean, Catherine?"
A wry expression crossed her face, "Since when have you and Sara been an item?"
Warrick chuckled, "That's a loaded question, Cath."
Catherine looked at Warrick quizzically, "Will someone tell me what's going on?" She looked at Sara and raised an eyebrow.
Sara sipped her coffee and replied, "Do you want the short version or the long version?"
"How about the short version." Catherine replied.
Nick took a sip of his coffee and then looked over at Catherine with a lopsided grin on his face, "Sara and I eloped."
Catherine had a look of shock on her face, "Ok, that's an answer I never expected." She continued, "When did this happen?"
Sara grinned, "About a month ago."
Catherine choked on her coffee, "Excuse me?"
Nick looked over at Sara and then turned to Catherine, "We got married a month ago."
Catherine shot Nick a slightly annoyed look, "I got that part."
Warrick had a bemused grin on his face as he watched.
Catherine shot him a glare before turning back to Sara, "Mind giving us a little more information?"
Nick chuckled, "Catherine, do you remember when Sara and I drove to Arizona to pick up that body we had exhumed?"
She nodded, "Yeah, what's your point?"
Sara replied, "We started dating then." She took another sip of her coffee.
Catherine's jaw dropped and she turned to Warrick, "Did you know about this?"
Warrick shook his head, "I've got about 5 minutes on you."
A slightly hurt expression crossed her face, "Why didn't you tell us?"
Sara looked over at Catherine, a serious expression on her face, "Cath, we weren't sure how things were going to work out when we started dating, so we didn't want anyone to know. When we decided to elope, we weren't sure how to tell anyone, especially since no one knew we were dating."
Nick added, "We only told my parents last week."
A concerned look crossed Catherine's face as she turned to Sara, "Are you pregnant?"
Nick chuckled, "Sara is not pregnant, Catherine."
A look of exasperation crossed Sara's face, "Why does everyone think I'd have to be pregnant for you to marry me?"
"Sorry, Sara, you're not the one with the reputation." Catherine smirked at Nick.
Nick looked over at Sara squeezing her hand, "Sara, I love you. That's why I married you."
Sara grinned back at him caressing his hand with her thumb, "I know. I love you too."
Catherine developed a wry grin, "Sara, I just have one question for you."
Sara looked over at her, "What's that?"
Catherine took a sip of her coffee, "Yesterday. In the ladies room. Were you alone?"
Sara blushed furiously, trying to stifle a grin. Nick grinned, squeezed Sara's hand and raised an eyebrow at Catherine in response.
Catherine chuckled, "I don't think I want to know anymore. Although, that does explain a few things about the drying room and the broom closet." She took another sip from her coffee.
Nick blushed and chuckled.
Warrick looked at the couple and laughed.
Sara was just glad that neither of them knew about the shower room.
Grissom walked into the break room and got himself a cup of coffee. He looked over at Nick and Sara, "I take it you told them."
Nick nodded.
Grissom looked at Sara, "Have you told Greg yet?"
Sara shook her head as the lab tech walked in. Greg looked around the room, not noticing that Nick and Sara were holding hands, "Tell me what yet?"
She stepped toward him and wrapped her arms around his neck, "Shift doesn't start for a while." A wide grin broke out over Nick's face. He put his hands on her small waist and pulled her against him, leaning down to kiss her. Sara's tongue demanded entry into Nick's mouth. He readily complied.
