Sara pulled in Warrick's driveway. She was beginning to feel nervous although she was unsure why. She walked up to his door and knocked. She waited a few moments and knocked again. Finally, he came to the door.

He greeted her with a smile and a hug. "Hey you."

She felt herself relax in his strong arms. She needed that hug more than she realized. "Thanks for letting me come."

He pulled back to face her. His hands cupped her chin. "You don't have to thank me Sara. I meant what I said. I care about you."

She smiled. "I don't know what I would have done if you weren't here."

"Let's not think about that." He said and leaned down and gently kissed her lips. He wrapped his arms around her and pulled her closer. He realized that they were standing outside. He gently moved away and reached for her hand. "Maybe we should take this inside."

"That might be wise, otherwise your neighbors will be spreading all kinds of gossip." They walked inside and Warrick led her to his couch.

"The food is about ready." He informed her.

"How much did you cook this time?" She asked half jokingly.

"Enough for the three of us." He replied and made his way into the kitchen. He began to gather plates and silverware. He then grabbed two glasses from his cabinet. "Sara, what do you want to drink?"

She walked into the kitchen and could smell the wonderful scent coming from the stove. She made her way to the stove and lifted up the lid.

Warrick caught her. "Hey, you better be glad there wasn't rice in there."

She smiled. "Sorry, but I was curious."

"You never answered my question. What do you want to drink?" He watched her as she put the lid back over the pot.



"Well, let's see I'm off caffeine for a while. What do you have besides water?" She moved away from the stove and sat down at his table.

"I bought some Sierra Mist. It doesn't have caffeine."

"Sounds great." She watched as Warrick set about fixing both of them a drink. Then he grabbed her plate and began filling it with the noodles that was in the pot. He poured some sauce over the noodles and sat the plate down in front of her.

"Don't eat yet. I have to slice the garlic bread. Plus I made salad."

"You're determined to make me fat, aren't you?" She replied amazed that he fixed all this food just for them.

He laughed. "Well, you are eating for two now."

Sara's face saddened and this didn't go unnoticed by Warrick. He walked over and bent down to face her. "Honey, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to upset you." He reached out and tucked some stray hair behind her ear.

She reached over and held him. 'Why am I being so emotional? Must be a stupid hormonal thing.' She thought. She pulled away and tried to give him her best smile. "Our food's going to get cold."

"Sara, forget the food right now, you're more important. I think we should talk." He hated the way that sounded but he didn't want Nick barging in and demanding why Sara never told him. She couldn't handle that right now.

"Do we have to? I was looking forward to a nice meal and you worked so hard to fix it."

"Okay, we'll eat first. Then we talk. Deal?"

"Deal." She felt him kiss her forehead and then he got up. He fixed his plate than grabbed the bread and salad and placed it on the table. They had a wonderful lunch and Warrick knew that he wanted to do this everyday. He realized that he didn't want Sara to leave either. If it was up to him, she and her baby would live with there and they would be a family. Only it wasn't up to him, she had a very hard choice facing her and he was unsure which one she would chose.
