Chapter One: Bad News

"Do you just want to eat at the hotel restaurant?" Nick asked.

"Yeah. I don't feel like walk--- oh God." Sara said, looking towards the door.

"What?"

"Our favorite people are here." Sara muttered, turning her head the other way.

"SARA!" Tara squealed.

"Tara! Dave! Where's Brandon?" she replied, cringing when Tara hugged her. She looked at Nick pleadingly and he smiled weakly as he shook Dave's hand.

"Oh my mother lives down here and we dropped him off there for the night. Wow! Are you staying here?" Tara answered.

"Yep. You too?" Nick asked.

"Mhmm. Oh Sara do you have any pictures of your kids?" Tara replied. Sara looked at Nick.

"They should be in your wallet." She lied and Nick pulled it out, taking a picture of two kids Sara had never seen before out.

"Oh they're adorable!" Tara exclaimed.

"Aren't they?" Nick smiled. "Well we have reservations and we don't want to miss them."

"Bye Tara, Dave." Sara said and walked into the restaurant with Nick. "Who are those kids?"

"Our niece and nephew, my sister's kids. They are the only picture of kids I have in there so when you said the picture of our darling children were in there I whipped it out." Nick replied, pushing Sara's chair in.

"Thanks." She muttered, picking up the menu. "I don't remember seeing them at the wedding."

"Oh my sister was sick. And she stayed at the hotel with the kids while my brother-in-law came by himself." Nick replied.

"Oh. What are you getting?" Sara asked, looking at him.

"What're you getting?" Nick mimicked.

"I don't know yet. What are you getting?" Sara replied.

"I don't know either. Maybe a steak." Nick said, smirking when Sara cringed.

"How do you eat that?" she asked.

"Medium rare, a fork and knife with a glass of Sprite on the side." Nick joked, knowing what she meant. Sara glared at him.

"Oh come on Sara. Its good. Why don't you try it? I'll tell you right now it didn't come from Miss Piggy." He said.

"Fine." Sara muttered. "I just want to eat. I don't care what."

"Well aren't we lucky! Our tables are right next to each other." Tara said. Sara looked at Nick.

"Aren't we honey?" she asked, putting on a cheery face.

"Yes we are." He muttered, hiding behind the menu.

"So Nick you like baseball?" Dave asked.

"Mhmm."

"Boston?"

"Yankees and Texas."

"Yankees? Why?"

"They're good. I like them cause A-Rod is on the team. Rangers are my favorite though." Nick replied.

"Sara are you still into the forensics?" Tara asked.

"Yes."

"What do you do again?"

"CSI. Crime Scene Investigator." Sara said.

"What do you do Nick?" Tara asked, looking at him.

"Huh? Oh I'm a CSI too." He replied, poking his head out from behind the menu.

"Oh. Well that's interesting." Dave said. "Do you two work together?"

"Yeah." They both said.

"Do you guys do autopsies?" Tara asked. "I saw that on a show once and it was really nasty. I almost gagged."

"Well I don't think you'd do good in forensics. We get a lot of dead bodies." Nick said. Right then his phone started ringing and Sara grabbed it.

"Sid--- Stokes."

"Sara why do you have Nick's phone? Anyway its Grissom."

"Hey. I knew that."

"Yeah. I'm not disrupting anything am I?"

Sara looked at Nick and mouthed, 'Griss.'

He smiled and stood up.

"Excuse us." He said to Tara and Dave and he and Sara walked out. Nick took the phone from Sara.

"Hey Grissom."

"Hey Nick. Sorry if I was disrupting anything."

"No. It was all right. Annoying people by us at dinner." Nick said, looking at Sara. "Hold on a second Griss."

"Do you just want to go back to the room?" he asked. Sara nodded and they started walking towards the elevator.

"Alright I'm back. Why'd you call?" Nick asked.

"Well I've got some bad news."

"Oh God."

"Your apartment... well um... Cath went by this morning to feed the fish and the door was wide open."

"Anything stolen?"

"Your watch."

"Keep going Griss."

"That was it."

"Thanks Grissom. That couldn't wait until I got home."

"Well I figured you'd want to know now instead of getting home and finding stuff missing."

"Yeah. I got to go. See you in two weeks." Nick said and hung the phone up.

"What happened?" Sara asked.

"Nothing." Nick lied.

"Yeah nothing." Sara muttered. "You're lying."

"The apartment was broken into. All they took was my watch. My very expensive watch that was laying on the counter." Nick answered.

"The broken one that you were supposed to go get fixed?" Sara asked.

"Yeah." He replied, putting the key in the door. "Look if there's a dead body in there or a skunk or some other wild crazy thing, don't be surprised because this isn't our day."

"Oh I'm counting on it." Sara said. Nick opened the door and found nothing out of the ordinary.

"Maybe our luck is changing." He said.

"Hopefully." Sara agreed. "Put the TV on."

Nick did as he was told and the two sat together on the couch.

"Is there anything good on?" Sara asked, resting her head on Nick's shoulder, her arm wrapped around his chest.

"Uh... let me check." He said. "Friends, Everybody Loves Raymond, the news, Lord of the Rings, too long, Law and Order, we have to get away from the crime, movies, movies, boring old movie, ooh here's something interesting. Evel Knievel." (Lol... George Eads is in that. I watched it a few nights ago. HE is so sexy!)

"Daredevil guy?" Sara asked.

"Yeah. He's awesome. Let's watch it." Nick replied, wrapping an arm around her.

"Whatever." Sara said. "Ouch that had to hurt."

"Flipping off a bike should hurt." Nick said. "Unless he's like Superman."

"I hope he didn't die."

"Sara, watch the movie. Maybe you're wish will come true."

The movie went to commercial.

"Do you think everything will be alright?" Sara asked.

"What? Evel? Yeah he'll live. Oh shoot I just ruined your big climatic break." Nick replied.

"Oh well that's nice but I was talking about our honeymoon. The apartment was broken into and we keep running into Tara and Dave." Sara said.

"Oh I didn't really like that watch. I'm sure we won't see them again. It's a big town." Nick said. "Look the movie's back on and he's alive and awake."

"Good for him. Let's forget the movie." Sara said, kissing his jaw.

"Food?" Nick asked. "We still haven't eaten."

"I don't care. I just want our honeymoon to be alright." Sara replied.

A/N: The apartment being broken into does have something to do with the story so don't think I was just putting that in there cause I was bored or something. The watch has something to do with it too.
