When Nick and Sara returned from their honeymoon two weeks after their wedding, riding a wave of bliss, they found that the atmosphere in the lab had changed significantly in their absence, and not just because they'd gotten married. No one could remember the last time they'd seen Grissom so disgustingly happy. Since he'd discovered that insect on the beach, he'd done almost nothing in his off time besides study it. He'd consulted with other prominent entomologists around the globe via the internet and all were in agreement that they believed he had in fact discovered a previously unidentified insect. His discovery had made him the golden boy of the entomological world and to both the chagrin and delight of the Sheriff was generating quite a bit of publicity for the department. There were plans for him to hit the lecture circuit courtesy of the Smithsonian Institutes once he'd published a paper on it and given it a name.

Greg seemed to have soared completely past Cloud 9 and seemed to be somewhere in the outer stratosphere. He and Kelly had become quite the item in just two weeks. Not only did he think that she was the most gorgeous woman he'd ever met, she was also a multimillionaire and she thought he was brilliant and amazing. She had decided to move her business operations to Vegas to be near Greg and over the last two weeks, Greg had discovered that there was a lot more to Kelly than her beautiful exterior, she had a depth to her that she kept hidden and he was just beginning to delve into it. Poor Archie and David were both sick with envy.

Catherine and Warrick had continued sneaking around to see each other, not particularly fooling anyone. However, they decided to go public about their relationship when Nick and Sara, freshly back from their honeymoon walked into the locker room to find them in the throws of a passionate kiss. Warrick and Catherine tried to muddle through some sort of explanation, but when it became clear by the audience gathering at the door to the locker room that everyone was already well aware of their budding relationship, and had witnessed one or more encounters between them throughout the lab, they decided it was pointless to try and hide it. Lindsey was particularly thrilled.

As for Nick and Sara, the newlyweds had a surprise brewing even they didn't know about quite yet. They would find out soon enough, for in about nine months, their family would be getting a little bigger.
