Chapter 2


We drove up to the Circle Dinner and got a booth sear. I got a salad and Nick got a sandwich. I was sitting so close to Nick that I was practically on him. 'What did you think of my parents?'


'They were interesting.'


'HA!.' I laughed, 'That's a nice way of putting it.'


'We're going to have to go to Texas sometime before the wedding.'


'Of coarse, always wanted to meet your big family.'


'And it's going to get bigger.' Nick grinned at me.


'What makes you think that I want kids?' I smiled, 'I'm just joking Nick. I want kids.'


'How many? Three, seven, ten?'


'Nick as much as I admire your mother for having seven kids. I was thinking more of two or three.'


'That's fine.' I kissed him and we continued eating. Nick paid for the bill, then went back to the car. 'We got and hour a half until shift. What's next?'


'We could go bother Warrick, walk along the strip-'


'How about we go shopping?' Nick squeezed my hand.


'Nicky.' I whined.


'What?'


'I don't want to go shopping.'


'Why not?'


'Because the stores are going to be crowed and don't want to see a lot of people besides you.'


'You can buy me a new shirt.'


'OK, you need new clothes anyways.' Nick drove the car over to the mall and we searched the stores. I picked out a black dress shirt of Nick, 'is this fine with you?'


'Let me get you something.'



'It better not be like this one.' I pulled at my shirt.


'How about a kitty?' He leaned into me.


'Don't think I can wear that.' I laughed.


'Seriously, how about a kitty?'


'You want to buy me a cat?' I said with disbelief.


'No a kitty.' He smiled. We walked down to the pet store, and I looked at the cats. There was one kitten that kept staring at me. 'You want that one?' He pointed and stood behind me.


'Yes.' The kitten stared up at me with it's big green eyes, it's fur was snowy white with a couple orange spots. Nick paid for the kitten and I picked out a purple collar with rhinestones on it Nick held the kitten in its cage. We went into the car of that car and let the kitten sniff around, and we sat on the floor of the car.


'What are you going to name her?'


'Polaris.' I held Nick's hand.


'Like the north star?'


'Yup.' Then Polaris it is. Nick wrapped his arms around me, then Polaris came over an d cuddled between our arms.


'I love you Sara.'


'I love you too, Nicky.' I kissed him and rocked the kitten in my arms. 'We better get to the lab soon.'


'You want to bring Polaris?'


'Yeah, we can keep her in your office. ' I put her into her cage. I climbed into the front seat while Nick got out of the car and walked around to the front seat. 'My way was quicker.'


'I don't like fitting my ass threw the two seats, Sidle.'


'I did.' I stuck my tongue out at him. He grabbed my tongue with his hand. 'Eh, icky, I've at ack!' I swatted at his hand but his hand still stayed.


'What? I can't understand you?' He smiled. 'What cat got your tongue?'


'Da at ib eeping. O ots ma unge!' He let go then whipped his hand on his pant leg.


'Ewww Sara germs.'


'Hey your that one who took my tongue not me.' Nick drove to the lab and we got there fifteen minutes early. I took Polaris in her cage and Nick took my hand.
