A/N :: Don't worry WhisperingWinds it's coming *grins evilly*




Wensday Morning . . .



Sara was sitting in her hospital bed dressed in real clothes and waiting for Nick to come to pick her up. Nick came by everyday in the hospital to see her, and got a couple of days to stay at home with Sara until she got comfortable. Just then Nick came into the room with a smile on his face.


'Ready to leave Sidle?'


'I was ready to leave when I first came here.' Sara smiled back at him.


'I thought you going to say something like that.' Nick kissed her, 'The nurse is coming in and will be giving you a wheel chair to the Tahoe.'


'OK.' Nick sat next to her and waited for the nurse to come in.


'Here you go Mr. Stokes, are you going to push her out or should I get someone?'


'That's ok, I'll push her out.' The nurse nodded then left the room.


'Nick how are you going to get-' Nick picked Sara up in mid sentence and sat her back down into the wheelchair.


'Like that.' Nick winked then wheeled her out to Sara's Tahoe and drove her to his apartment. 'The doctor said that you can have crutches in a couple of days, but to stay off of it as much as possible.'


'OK. Is Grissom and everyone coming over later?'


'Yeah there all coming over a couple of hours before shift starts.'


'OK.' Nick carried Sara into his small house and put her down onto the couch, then sat down next to her raising her leg on the coffee table.


'What do you want to do?'


'We could watch a movie, I could cook you something, take nap. Whatever you want.'


'How about a movie?'


'OK.' Nick got up and looked at his DVD's that were on the bottom three shelves causing him to bend down and called off the movie titles. 'Let's see, ummm all the Disney movies, Moulin Rouge, The Goonies, all of the Star War movies . . .' Sara wasn't really listening more looking at his ass in front of her face.


'Yeah sure.'


'OK Star Wars Episode II it is then.' Nick popped in the DVD and sat back down on the couch. Sara yawned putting her head onto Nick's shoulder causing hr to fall alseep. Within minutes Nick was also alseep.

Nick woke up to the sound of the door bell ringing twenty times in a row. He then glanced down at his watch which said 4:00. 'Shit.' Nick carefully got up not wanting to wake up Sara, then answering the door rubbing his eyes.


'Hey Nick what took you so long?' Greg asked as they all entered the living room to see Sara sleeping on the couch with credits of Star Wars.


'Watching a movie.' Nick said slightly blushing.


'Of coarse Nicky.' Catherine said patting him on the back then making her way into the kitchen.


'We brought over some cheese Pizza so we can eat, if you get Sara up.' Warrick told him.


'Alright.' Nick went ver to Sara and gently blew into her ear, making Sara move a little bit.


'Mrrph. What do you want Nick? I'm sleeping.' Sara opened one eye then rested her head back down.


'Everyone's here and waiting for you to come and grace us with your presences.' Nick smiled to her.


'Never knew that I was that important.' Sara said trying to clam her frizz down from her hair.


'You look fine.' Nick kissed her forehead then went into the kitchen and everyone came out into the living room with a pizza box and beer.



'Hey Sar, how's it going?' Warrick asked sitting down onto the floor.


'I've been better.' Sara grabbed the plate that Nick held out in front of her and took it then took a beer. Nick sat next to Sara on the couch having small glances to one another.


'So you guys in any good cases?' Sara asked taking a bite of her pizza.


'Only one.' Grissom said not making eye contact.


'What's that?'


'The car accident that you and Nick were in, well that was an accident. It was intentionally, someone is coming after you Sara. There was a note left at the scene and everything.' Grissom said still not looking at her.


'Oh, have any leads yet?' Sara asked with no emotion taking a swing at her beer.


'No, we have lots of hair fibers and skid marks and paint from where the car hit.' Catherine told her.


'Oh.' Sara finished off her beer rather quickly going for another one when Warrick stood up.


'We have to get going for shift if we want to be there on time.' Sara nodded and received a hug from everyone leaving her on the couch. Nick walked to the door then shut it and watched everyone leave, then walking back to couch to find Sara sitting in the same spot that he left her in only with tears running down her face. HE wanted nothing more then to just make everything go away and to see her laugh. But he knew that wasn't going to happen. Nick cradled Sara in his arms and he cried even more.


'It's going to be OK. Brass has a police car outside the house that will be here 24/7. Everything's going to be OK.' Nick told her.


'I didn't do anything.' Sara said resting her head onto Nick's shoulder.


'I know you didn't sweetie. Come on lets get you to bed now.' Nick picked Sara up and put her into his bed putting the red covers over her in the king size bed. Nick went to the door to leave.


'Your not leaveing me alone, in here are you?' Sara asked, and Nick saw tears forming into her eyes again.



'Never.' Nick shut the door and turned the lights off, then made his way to the bed and went under too. Sara made her way over to him and put her head onto his chest and lied there. He was surprised at first by her actions but not unwelcomed and ran his fingers threw her hair.


'When do you go back to work?'


'Maybe sometime late next week. But there's no date set up.'


'I don't want you to leave until it's save.'


'I won't even when it is.' Nick kissed her forehead then drifted off to sleep.
