DISCLAIMER: Yeah so I still don't own anything CSI related *tear*
OK before I write this I just need to tell you all a little story. :oP ok so my boyfriend and I were talking today (he's from America :) hehe but he's been living here a year and a bit) but I digress. Anyway we were talking and he told me he hadn't been to Australia Zoo yet so I thought...being the nice person I am that I would take him down there. So we drive the fifteen minutes and then take twenty minutes to find a park among the tourist buses, pay the entrance fee (that seems to have tripled since I last went there) and enter the now expanded zoo. Deciding he needed the full experience we go to watch the feeding and lo and behold Steve is doing the actual feeding (we've just come off school holidays so he's back for the moment)...I was sitting there laughing to myself the whole show. Haha sorry I just needed to share that with you all :) well without further ado here's the third instalment. ENJOY :)
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
After a couple of minutes Nick and Sara managed to get themselves and the two girls in Nick's Denali. He started the car and headed towards the movie theatre.
"Icky Uncle Nick what's this music?!" Lindsey exclaimed from the backseat as country music played lightly from the speakers. Sara laughed and smirked at Nick, glad that she wasn't the only one that seemed to dislike Nick's choice of music.
"Well I'm sorry my choice of music doesn't meet your standards Miss Willows." He said looking in the review mirror at her. "Would you like Sara to change it?"
"Yes please!" Hannah answered far too quickly.
"It doesn't meet with your standard either Miss Hannah?! I'm offended, please Sara tell me you at least like it?"
"Sorry Nick but I'm with the girls on this." She said quickly changing the radio to a 'pop' channel, which everyone apart from Nick seemed to like.
"Sara are you and Uncle Nick dating?" Lindsey asked as the song they were singing to ended. Sara looked at Nick and immediately flushed a dark red.
"Um no Linds we aren't."
"Oh. Mom said you really liked each other though." She said thoughtfully. Nick looked at Sara thoroughly amused and interested in how Sara would respond. She glared at him she was hoping that he would at least help her out.
"I do really like Nick but we're not going out Lindsey. When did your Mom say this?"
"When Uncle Warrick was over for breakfast. They were talking about how you and Uncle Nick had been flirting since you got here and that you needed to just come out and admit your feelings to each other." She replied innocently. Sara just shook her head.
"Well Mom and Uncle Warrick need to mind their own business." She muttered to herself but Nick heard it and grinned. He looked over at her before taking her hand and giving it a reassuring squeeze. She looked at him quickly a hint of colour still on her cheeks and gave him a weak smile. Lindsey and Hannah and evidently lost interest in this conversation for the time being and were singing along with the Britney Spears song that was playing on the radio. Sara wanted nothing more then the seat to swallow her up.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Ok girls it looks like the next screening of 'Home on The Range' is in an hour. Do you want to go and get some dinner?" Sara questioned. It'd taken her the rest of the drive to calm down and get over her embarrassment.
"Yeah! Can I get a Happy Meal?" Lindsey questioned.
"Oo me too! Can I get a Happy Meal too?" Hannah asked.
"Me three, me three!" Nick said looking at Sara with a childish grin on his face. Sara just shook her head at him and grinned.
"You're silly Nick." Hannah grinned.
"I agree with Hannah." Sara laughed.
"Yeah Uncle Nick you're stupid." Added Lindsey. Nick pouted. Which just spouted more laughter from the three girls.
"Come on you evil ladies, let's go and eat." He said walking towards the food court with Lindsey and Hannah running after him. Sara grinned, he was good with kids she thought, and he'd be an excellent father. Whoa where'd that come from she chided herself and walked to catch up to the three. By the time she caught up with them they were in the queue at McDonalds.
"There you are!" Nick grinned calling her up to where they were. "We thought you'd run off and left us."
"It did cross my mind." She said to Nick. He simply gave her a caring smile.
"So what do you want for dinner? Do you want a salad?" He asked. She smiled at him.
"Yeah that'd be nice thanks." They moved up to the counter and Nick talked to the lady.
"Ok can we have one salad, medium fries and a medium coke." He ordered for Sara grinning at her while he added the fries and coke to her order. "And a Medium Big Mac meal and I think that's it." He said winking at Sara.
"UNCLE NICK! You forgot our Happy Meals!" Lindsey exclaimed.
"Oh my god I did!" He cried whilst grinning at the lady. "Can I have two Happy Meals as well." The lady shook her head and gave Sara a smile before going off to get their orders. Nick waited for their order while Sara took the girls to find a table.
"Yay!" Lindsey exclaimed as Nick approached with their food. "I'm starving!" She added.
"Glad I can be helpful." He grinned sitting the two Happy Meals in front of the girls. He then set Sara's meal in front of her.
"Thanks Nick." She smiled.
"You're welcome." He winked at her before glancing over at the girls who were eagerly opening their toys. "You've got to be kidding me." He muttered causing Sara to look at him questioningly. The next sound instantly drew her attention to the girls and she knew exactly what Nick was muttering about.
"Crikey!" The toy of Steve Irwin holding a crocodile exclaimed. Hannah and Lindsey looked thrilled at the toy and kept playing with them so they continued to exclaim 'Crikey'. Sara looked and Nick and began giggling which Nick found infectious and soon the pair of them were once again in an uncontrollable bout of laughter. Lindsey and Hannah just looked at the laughing pair not sure about what was so funny. When they finally calmed down Lindsey decided to find out.
"What's so funny?"
"Hoo boy, nothing Lindsey just a joke from work." Nick quickly explained. "How about I look after your toys for you so you can eat your meals and we can make the movie." He stated deciding that if he had to listen the toy he would break down again. They agreed and handed over the toys leaving them to eat the rest of the meal in peace.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Hi, can I please have two adults and two children to 'Home on The Range'" Nick said to the ticket sales girl and handed over a fifty-dollar bill.
"Sure." She replied clearly checking Nick out, whose focus was on the girls who were close to knocking over a display.
"Lindsey, Hannah get away from there." He said running over to where they were, leaving Sara at the ticket office. She smiled meekly at the girl.
"Here you go, cinema 2. There are your tickets and the change. You're husbands good with your kids." Sara opened her mouth to protest but decided it wasn't worth the hassle. She walked over to where Nick and the girls were waiting and they made their way into the cinema.
"I want to sit next to Hannah and Sara." Lindsey decided as they finally settled on a row to sit in.
"Alright well you go in first Hannah and then Linds, Sara and me." Nick instructed as the lights began to dim. They finally got everyone seated and happy as the first preview began to play. As the beginning credits began Nick cautiously took Sara's hand in his hoping it wouldn't freak her out. She looked at him and grinned giving his had a squeeze before they both turned their attention back to watch the movie, both with goofy smiles on their faces.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Yodel-Adle-Eedle-Idle-Oo." Lindsey and Hannah sang as they exited the movies. Nick and Sara walked out behind them still holding hands.
"I think they liked the movie." Sara grinned.
"Yeah, they seemed to have memorised that one line of one of the songs." He smiled back.
"Uncle Nick!" Lindsey called from where her and Hannah and stopped. She was pointing into the Build-A-Bear. "Can we go in?" She questioned with a pleading look on her face. Nick looked at Sara questioningly and she was about to answer when her cell phone rang.
"You take them in. It's my dad." She said looking at her phone.
"Ok come on you two lets go look." He said walking to where the girls stood grinning.
"You know what Uncle Nick you should build Sara a bear." Lindsey said as they looked around.
"Why?"
"Cause then she could have something to remember you by. You could dress it in cowboy clothes and it could be to remind her of you."
"I uh."
"Pleeeaaaaaaasssssse!" The girls begged.
"Alright but you guys have to help me build it." He relented.
"OK! The horse you've got to build the horse!" Hannah exclaimed. Nick shook his head and picked up the horse.
"You should put the 'I love you' sound Uncle Nick." Lindsey decided.
"I don't think Sara would like that, come on."
"So did you live on a ranch like that Nick?" Hannah asked as they watched the man fill the horse.
"Yep."
"WOW!" The girls exclaimed and began peppering him with questions as they dressed the horse and made their way to print off it's birth certificate.
"Uncle Nick you have to go away while we name him." The girls said after whispering conspiratorially. He looked at them concerned for a minute before relenting and walked over to the counter to pay for it. The man put the horse into a box and added the birth certificate that Lindsey and Hannah and finished.
"What did you name it?" He questioned warily.
"It's a surprise." Hannah grinned. HE took the box and they made their way out to where Sara was still talking on the phone. She raised an eyebrow at the box and looked at Nick who simply shook his head and smirked.
"Listen Mom I have to go. Yes I promise I'll call you tomorrow. Love you too, Bye." She hung up sighing. "So what did you build?" She questioned.
"It's for you." Nick said handing the box over. She looked at him fleetingly before opening the box and pulled out the cowboy dressed horse.
"It's to remind you of Uncle Nick when you're not together." Lindsey said in a matter of fact tone of voice. Sara blushed slightly and pulled out the birth certificate and laughed at the name.
"What?" Nick asked worrying what name the girls and put on.
"Nicky Stud?" She laughed looking at Nick who had a pink tinge on his cheeks.
"I uh didn't name it." He stuttered much to the amusement of everyone else.
"Thanks, I love it." She grinned hugging the two girls and then giving Nick a kiss on the cheek. The girls giggled and whispered amongst themselves. Nick looked at them cautiously.
"Come on you two, we need to get you home to bed."
