"So do you want to help your parents out with dinner?" Nick looked at her curiously.

She pursed her lips together in amusement. "I just wanted to get away from Jenny." Her brow furrowed together for a moment and then glanced over at him. "They probably could use the help though."

"Whatever you want to do is fine with me." Nick smiled at her as she drove.

She glanced over and chuckled. "Oh, really?"

Nick raised an eyebrow. "What do you want to do?"

She had a smug expression and raised both of her eyebrows suggestively. "I think you'll have to wait and find out."

Nick chuckled softly and tried to swallow a grin. "Sara Sidle."

She didn't say anything, she just kept on driving trying to keep her smile at bay.

Nick kept stealing glances at her.

Finally, she pulled off the road and turned the ignition off.

Nick looked at her a bit quizzically. "Where are we?"

She smirked. "I thought maybe you might want to see some elephant seals."

A wistful grin crossed Nick's face for a moment as he reached for his camera.

Sara continued. "We can make out again later." She just grinned at him as she got out of the car.

He couldn't help but laugh as he got out of the car and followed her to the overlook.

"I thought you were interested in the wildlife." Sara teased as Nick kissed her neck. He stood behind her and had his arms wrapped around her waist.

He whispered in her ear. "I am, but at the moment I'm far more interested in you."

She leaned her head back on his shoulder. "We need to talk about this."

Nick tightened his grip on her waist and whispered in her ear again. "What do you want to talk about?"

She turned her head towards him and kissed him softly, smiling as she pulled away. "I think it's fairly safe to assume that when I said we weren't attracted to each other and could handle sharing a bed last night that I was in denial."

He laughed. "Yeah, I would say so." He kissed her neck again.

"Nick." Sara's voice was insistent.

"Yeah?" He rested his chin on her shoulder and felt her tense for a moment before she continued.

"We need to talk about whether or not we're going to have sex." She felt like she sounded awkward.

"Are we voting?" Nick was mildly amused at her discomfort.

"Nick, I'm serious." There was a hint of a whine in her voice.

"I am too. Because if we're voting, I'm voting 'yes'." He continued, trying to keep his smile at bay.

Sara turned in his embrace and looked him in the eye. "Then I hope you have a condom."

He rested his forehead against hers and shook his head. "I didn't bring any."

Sara winced. "I was afraid of that."

Nick chuckled. "What's the problem? They have stores around here. I'm sure Jake would be more than happy to sell us a weeks supply."

Sara groaned. "Nothing like announcing to the entire town that I'm horny as hell."

"Well it might stop Jenny from bothering us." Nick quipped before he leaned in and kissed her briefly. He had a mischievous glint in his eye as he continued. "So, you're horny as hell, huh?"

She smirked. "Let's just say it's been a while. A long while and I'm more than ready to break the dry spell."

"I'm sure with the way your parents were going at it last night that they probably have some lying around." Nick suggested in a husky voice.

Sara groaned. "They probably do, but I sure as hell don't want to ask my dad for condoms."

"I could ask." Nick suggested, leaning in to kiss her.

Sara mumbled against his lips. "How embarrassing."

Nick pulled away and looked into her eyes. "Do you want to wait until we get back to Vegas?"

Sara looked at him as if he was crazy. "Hell no."

He chuckled. "Ok, then, I'll ask." He leaned in and kissed her again.

"Look at that, Rick." Helen pointed out the window and Rick followed her gaze.

Nick and Sara had just gotten out of the car and as they met in front of the vehicle, Nick took Sara's hand and leaned over and kissed her softly before they headed for the front door.

"It seems you were right." Rick grinned at his wife.

Helen gave him a smug look and continued working on the meal she was preparing for lunch. "Of course I'm right. I told you when I popped my head in there this morning that they were sleeping together."

"It wasn't like you gave them much choice, honey." Rick quipped gently, a conspiratorial smile on his face.

As Nick and Sara entered the kitchen, she smiled at her parents and dropped Nick's hand. "Hi." She walked over and pulled a couple of glasses out of the cupboard and poured both her and Nick a glass of water.

"Where have you kids been?" Helen asked curiously.

Sara handed Nick his glass of water and took a sip from her own before answering. "I took Nick out to Nick's Cove." Her brow furrowed. "We ran into Jenny whatever her last name is now so we didn't stay long and then we went up the elephant seal overlook."

"Nice view out there." Rick observed. "You kids sleep ok last night?"

Nick just nodded as he took a sip from his water.

"Uh, yeah." Sara felt her cheeks burning a little and took another sip from her water.

"Oh, honey, I put some condoms on the table by your bed." Her mom informed in a matter of fact manner as she continued to prepare lunch.

Sara almost choked on her water and Nick tried to swallow a grin.

Rick raise his eyebrow at them. "We just want to make sure you're practicing safe sex, that's all."

Helen smiled widely at Sara. "I wasn't sure what kind you liked, so I put a variety. Your father and I like the ribbed kind, but you kids might be more adventurous." She glanced over at Nick and then back at Sara. "Are you kids hungry? I just made lunch."
