A/N Well I promised I'd update again soon and here it is.

Disclaimer: I still don't own them and Nick still wears too many damn clothes!!

Nick walked towards the break room, he had told Catherine he was going to get a coffee, but really he wanted to check on Sara. She had behaved oddly yesterday and he needed to know if she was ok. He stood at the door for a moment looking inside. Sara was sitting across the table from Alekxandra they both seemed to be engrossed in the paperwork in front of them. He walked inside. 'Well, well ladies don't you look busy' he drawled smiling at them. Alek looked up and smiled. Sara just gave him one of her looks. Nick laughed. He walked over to the coffee machine and poured himself a cup. 'Anyone need a refill?' he asked looking at the two women sitting at the table.

'No thanks I don't drink coffee.' Alek replied. Sara looked at her surprised, Alek just laughed and returned to her files.

'Well I'll have some' Sara replied holding her cup out. Nick smiled as he filled it. Damn she's beautiful. He thought. 'So Nicky, how's that case coming along?'

'It's coming. I'd better get back to it before Warrick sends out a search party' He smiled at Sara, and walked out the door.

Sara looked over at Alek. 'I can't believe you don't drink coffee. How the hell do you stay awake all night?'

Alek didn't look up 'Oh well the cocaine keeps me awake so it's not a problem.' She looked up and saw the look of shock on Sara's face. She began to laugh. 'I'm kidding' she said between giggles. 'You should have seen the look on your face'

'Well I wasn't sure if I'd heard you right' Sara said trying not to laugh.

'Well I don't really do cocaine, I'm surprised Cath didn't warn you about my sense of humor.' She looked over at Sara.

'Ok then.' Sara replied returning to her work.

'I haven't drunk coffee since I was pregnant with my son' Alek said quietly 'I couldn't stand the smell let alone the taste. And well I've always been a nocturnal person so being awake all night doesn't bother me'.

'You have a son?' Sara asked.

Alek looked at her 'I had a son.' She replied quietly. Sara shifted in her chair. 'I'm sorry. I. I didn't mean to pry.' She said uncomfortably

Alek sighed. 'Its alright, it would have come out eventually.' 'What happened?' Sara asked quietly 'You don't have to answer, unless you want to.'

'He was nearly 2. I went in to check on him when I got home from work, he was so still, that was when I realized something was wrong.' Sara looked across at Alek, seeing the pain in her eyes.

'Alek, you don't have to tell me. It's alright' she said.

'No, its alright. He was already gone, taken in the night while he slept. The autopsy said he had an aneurysm, that he wouldn't have been in pain.' A single tear slid down her face.

'I am so sorry' Sara handed her a tissue. 'How long has it been?'

'Nearly seven years.' Alek replied, she pulled her wallet out of her pocket. 'Would you like to see a picture?' Sara nodded. Alek opened her wallet and pulled out a small picture, she handed it to Sara. Sara looked at the picture a young boy with brown hair and his mothers sparkling green eyes smiled back at her.

'He was beautiful' she whispered. She handed the picture back to Alek who looked at it for a moment and slid it back into her wallet.

'Look I'm going to go and get some air. If anyone is looking for me tell them to page me' Sara nodded as she watched Alek walk out the door.

Elsewhere in the Lab

Warrick and Nick were in the layout room working their case. 'So Nicky, what do you think of Alek?' Warrick asked looking at his friend who was busily collecting samples from a rug. Nick shrugged. Warrick laughed 'Too busy staring at Sara to notice huh?' Nick looked back.

'How did you?' Nick started but Warrick held up his hands.

'Oh please you think I don't notice how you look at her, not to mention the way you too flirt' Warrick smirked at the shocked look on Nicks face. 'And a woman who has the most amazing green eyes I've ever seen comes to work with us and you don't even mention it. You're gonna have to make a move Nicky my boy. Before Greg beats you to it.'

Nick looked over at Warrick. 'What if she's not interested? Then what? I won't be able to work here it'd be too weird'

Warrick shook his head. 'What if she is?' He said as he headed out the door to see if Greg had finished running his tests.

Nick shook his head and continued looking over the evidence in front of him.

Grissom's Office

Catherine looked at Grissom for a moment. 'You look tired' she said. 'Rough night?' Grissom nodded. 'So you wanna talk about it?'

Grissom sighed and rubbed his temples he could feel another migraine coming on. 'What is there to talk about?' he said.

'Well for a start what is going on with you and Sara?' Catherine asked.

Grissom cringed 'Nothing. She asked me out and I said no'

Catherine nodded 'Well that much I know.' Grissom looked at her surprised. 'Oh come on Sara needed someone to talk to. She's kinda confused right now' She looked at him, his tired eyes, the confusion in his face. 'And what about Alekxandra. What's going on there? And don't tell me it's nothing because I know you better than that'

'I didn't realize it would be so hard having her here again. It's been so long.' He looked down at his hands not wanting to meet her gaze.

'You still love her don't you' she said. It was more of a statement than a question and she didn't really expect him to answer. 'What are you going to do about it?'

'I don't know. I've already made such a mess of things with her' He started. Catherine's beeper sounded. She looked down at it.

'I've got to go and see Warrick he's got news on the case. You need to do something about this, for her sake as well as yours' Catherine got up and walked out into the hall leaving Grissom to his thoughts.
