Grissom was steaming by the time Nick and Sara got to his office. Nick had barely shut the door when Grissom began his inquisition. He narrowed his gaze at the pair as they took a seat in his office for the second time that evening, "I'm going to be blunt. Have you had sex on the premises?" Sara squeezed Nick's hand as she looked at Grissom directly in the eyes, "Yes."

This seemed to fan Grissom's anger, "On company time?"

Nick squeezed Sara's hand and looked away from Grissom's penetrating gaze, "Yes."

Grissom's voice began to rise, "At a crime scene?"

Nick's eyes snapped up and glared at Grissom, "We're not that stupid, Grissom."

"Answer the question, Nick." Grissom barked.

Nick's eyes narrowed and he answered forcefully, "No. We haven't."

Sara squeezed Nick's hand.

"Where have you on company time?" Grissom demanded.

Nick's anger began to flare, "I don't think we need to answer that."

Grissom leaned over his desk with a glare on his face and began yelling, "Dammit, Nick! I need to know if you two have compromised any cases, any evidence because of your stupidity! Whether you like it or not, I do need to know! If you could have just kept it in your pants until you got home, we wouldn't be having this conversation!"

Sara stood up, fuming, "Grissom, go to hell! We haven't contaminated any evidence."

Nick glared at Grissom.

Sara was yelling now, "You want to know all the details of our love life? Fine, I'll give you details! Where do you want me to start?! The drying room! I know you're dying to know what happened in there! Want me to tell you what Nick's kisses felt like?! Want me to tell you what it felt like to have his hands under my clothes touching my skin?! Is that what you want, Grissom?! We never had sex in there if that's what you're worried about! The same is true of the broom closet, the ladies restroom, and the locker room! None of that was on company time. Damn you, Grissom! We've had sex exactly once at work, and that was yesterday in the shower after we got drenched at a crime scene and had to come back and change! Want me to go into more detail?! Would our wedding night interest you?!"

Grissom stood there quietly shaking his head, "No, Sara."

Nick would have grinned at Sara if he wasn't so angry at Grissom. He glared at Grissom, "Are you satisfied, Grissom! Or would you like a record of every time I touch my wife and submit it to you for your approval?!"

Grissom looked at Nick and then at Sara. In a soft, but firm voice he responded, "Nick. Sara. Go home. Cool down. I'll see you next shift." With that he got up and walked out of his office.

"Damn him!" Sara exclaimed.

Nick squeezed her hand, "Let's get out of here, Sara."

As the pair walked out of the lab they realized that nearly everyone must have heard the tirade as glances were cast their way expressing surprise at the revelation of their relationship.

They left Sara's Tahoe at the lab and drove home in Nick's. When they arrived home, Sara sunk down into the couch and began to cry. Nick wrapped his arms around her and just held her, stroking her hair until she fell asleep.

Two hours later, there was a knock on the door. Nick shifted himself out of Sara's embrace, trying not to wake her and got up to answer the door. He opened the door to find Catherine and Warrick standing there. Nick wore a guarded expression.

"Hey, Nicky. We just wanted to make sure you were ok." Catherine offered.

Nick nodded looking at the floor.

"How's Sara?" Warrick inquired.

"She' asleep." Nick replied looking up at his friends.

"Nick, who's there?" A groggy Sara voice called out.

Nick opened the door and gestured Catherine and Warrick inside. Sara had sat up on the couch and was trying to wipe the sleep out of her eyes.

Warrick spoke in a soft voice, "Hey, girl, we just came to check up on you and Nick."

A smile tugged at the corners of Sara's mouth, "Thanks." She looked over at Catherine with a quizzical look, "Aren't you supposed to be working?"

Catherine gave her a wry smile, "Grissom was being such an ass we told him we had vacation time coming and we were taking it. He's working the rest of shift alone."

Nick chuckled, "I can't believe you did that."

Sara sat there with her jaw hanging open, "No way."

Warrick just nodded, "Way. We figured you two were way more important than any crime scene tonight. I just feel bad for you that the entire lab had to find out like that."

Sara cringed as she remembered the words she yelled at Grissom, "So everyone heard what I said then?"

Catherine wore a devilish grin, "The way you were yelling at Grissom, I think a few people wouldn't have been surprised if you'd given him a demonstration right there in his office just to make a point."

Sara's jaw dropped for a moment at the thought and then looked over at Nick and started laughing as he waggled his eyebrows at her suggestively.

Warrick's eyebrows shot up and he raised his hands in surrender, "If we're interrupting something here, we can be on our way."

Sara winked at Warrick, "I think I can restrain myself from ripping Nick's clothes off and having my way with him for a little while longer."

"Can I get a raincheck on that for later, honey?" Nick winked at her.

"Count on it." She grinned at Nick.

Catherine laughed, "I for one don't want details about your sex life, but I am interested in how you got together."

Sara looked over at Nick and smiled, "This might take a while." She turned to Warrick and Catherine, "You guys hungry? I can order out for some Chinese."

"I don't know about Catherine, but I could sure go for some." Warrick answered.

Nick looked over at his friend with a raised eyebrow, "Warrick, name a time you're not hungry?"

Warrick let out a chuckle.

Sara got on the phone and ordered some Chinese food for delivery. The group settled themselves in the living room and Nick began, "Well, like I said, it started when we drove to Arizona."
