Our friends seemed to take our news that we were moving in stride. Thanksgiving was just around the corner and Sara and decided that we wanted all of them to share it with us since we'd be leaving soon. At first we weren't sure what we were going to do about the house. We really didn't want to sell it since we'd be moving back to Vegas if things didn't work out in LA. But we also didn't want to continue paying a mortgage on it since we'd have to rent something in LA.

Then Molly called. Apparently, Molly comes from a fairly wealthy family, not that this was a big surprise to me considering the house she has in Malibu. Anyway, her parents had decided to go on a cruise around the world aboard the QE2. They would be gone for a year and wanted Molly to stay at their house in Bel Air while they were gone to take care of their six dogs. That left Molly's house in Malibu empty. She offered to let us stay there while we were in LA. Sara and I were floored.

Not only would we not have to sell the house in Vegas, we would get to live in Malibu rent free for a year. Sara and I were beyond excited. In our wildest dreams we could never have imagined this. However, we still weren't sure what to do with our house. Now that we were staying at the house in Malibu, we wouldn't have to pack our furniture, we could leave it behind. But we also didn't want to rent the house out to just anyone or leave it sitting empty. In the end, we found out that Greg was looking for a new place to live, so we asked him if he would consider house sitting for a year. He was ecstatic.

The fact that we didn't have to pack everything helped quite a bit. Sara had begun to get a little stressed out when she began to contemplate all the stuff we were going to have to pack up. This was especially true when I had several days where I was pulling double shifts. That did not set well with Sara. She understood mind you, but she was home alone with an infant, trying to pack up a house to move.

The day after we found out we got to live in Malibu at the beach house, Sara was feeling especially good. So good in fact that she met me at the door when I came home with a huge grin on her face.

I raised a curious eyebrow at her.

Sara snaked her arms around my neck and whispered into my ear. "Catherine's got Austin for a few hours. She told me to call her when I was ready for her to drop him off."

I chuckled. Leave it to my wife to find time for us to be alone. She didn't have to say another word. I closed the front door with my foot and tossed my keys onto the table near the door. At the same time I kissed Sara and pulled her against me. As we broke apart I whispered back to her. "How did you get her to do that?" I started to pull her shirt out of her jeans.

Sara began kissing my neck. "It wasn't hard." Her hands slid down my chest and her fingers began to unfasten my belt. "She loves Austin. And since we're moving, she wanted to watch him." She continued kissing my neck.

My hands slid down and cupped her butt. "That was really nice of her." I slid my hands up under the back of Sara's shirt and unfastened her bra.

Sara's lips made a torturously slow assault on my neck. "Yeah, I thought so. Besides, she knows that you're trying to get me pregnant, and figured we could use a little time alone." Sara pulled my zipper down and her hand grazed me.

I moaned. We made it as far as the couch.

Afterward we lay tangled together just enjoying the closeness of each other. Sara traced lazy circles on my chest and I couldn't help but trace an invisible line from her shoulder to her hip and back again.

Sara chuckled and propped herself up slightly on my chest. "You know, even if it takes a while getting pregnant, I sure am having fun trying."

I grinned at her. "Me too." I waggled my eyebrows at her and slid my hands down to squeeze her butt. "Wanna try again?"

Sara laughed and leaned down to kiss me. "I thought you'd never ask."

We got lost in each other and somewhere in the foggy recesses of our brains it registered that someone was at the door. "I thought you said Catherine was going to wait for you to call."

Sara raised an eyebrow at me. "She is."

Then it hit me. "Oh, crap. I forgot to tell you that Warrick was coming by."

Sara started to giggle. "So I distracted you then?"

I chuckled. "Yeah, you could say that."

We extricated ourselves from the couch and Sara made a beeline for the bedroom while I grabbed my boxers, pulled them on and went to answer the door.

Warrick took one look at me and started laughing. "I see you got a little distracted again and forgot to tell Sara that I was coming over."

I just grinned and nodded. Just then Sara emerged from the bedroom fully clothed. She grinned at Warrick and nonchalantly tried to pick up her clothes that were strewn about the living room. Her face turned a little red as she turned around to see Warrick pulling her bra out from between the couch cushions. She walked over and took it from him trying to act natural.

Warrick chuckled. "So Nick forgot to tell you I was coming over again, didn't he?"

Sara nodded and started to laugh. "Yeah."

"How's the little guy?" Warrick queried.

Sara grinned. "He's with Catherine right now. In fact, now that you're here, I'll call her and let her know she can bring him back anytime." Sara walked over to the phone to call Catherine.

I raised an eyebrow at Warrick and he just laughed at me. "Hey, the reason I stopped by is because I have something to tell you and Sara."

By this time, Sara had gotten off the phone with Catherine. We looked at Warrick curiously.

He just grinned at us. "How would you like a friend in LA?"

Sara and I looked at Warrick in disbelief.

He chuckled. "I got a recording contract. They want me to move to LA and get started on a CD."

Sara threw her arms around Warrick and squealed. I chuckled. Sara and I would have another friend in LA.

"Way to go, man." I shook Warrick's hand. "Have you told Grissom yet?"

Warrick let out a deep breath and shook his head. "Not yet. You two are the first ones I've told. The poor guy is going to freak out. He's already freaking out because you two are leaving. That'll leave just him and Catherine."

Sara and I exchanged an amused grin.

Warrick studied us and chuckled. "Then again, it might just give him the push he needs."

Sara and I just nodded and chuckled.
