Disclaimer: I own nothing affiliated with CSI, however Rosie's is real-it's a bar where I live.

Summary: Catherine takes Sara out and Grissom plans a party for Nick? Who would've guessed?

Rating: PG-13/R just to be on the safe side for minor fluff

A/N: I updated this chapter with some corrections and rewording.

Four weeks had passed since Nick was released from the hospital. He had been discharged about four days after he came out of his coma and the first thing he did was buy three double everything burgers.

Sara just smiled watching him eat like had never eaten before.

Nick also wanted back in the lab, but Grissom restricted both him and Sara to lab and paperwork only.

Nick and Sara were very professional about their relationship inside the lab. They decided it was best to work apart while at the lab so they helped out the others as needed.

Grissom walked by Sara and Nick stealing a quiet moment and just smiled. He was so happy for them. He and Sara had also repaired their friendship while Nick had been in the hospital.

Sara saw Grissom walking by. "I'll be right back Nicky". Sara said squeezing his hand.

Sara went up to Grissom and gave him a hug.

"Thank you Griss, for everything you've done". Sara smiled walking back into the break room where Nick was sitting down reading the sports section of the Las Vegas newspaper.

Grissom just smiled and walked down the hall in search of Warrick and Greg.

"Hey Greg, Warrick can I see you two in my office for a second"? Grissom said looking at them.

"Uh, sure". Greg said looking at Warrick like what did we do now.

Warrick just shrugged in confusion.

"What's up Griss"? Warrick asked sitting down.

"I want to throw a bachelor party for Nicky, and I need your help".

Greg smiled.

"I'd be happy to help". Greg replied looking over at Warrick for confirmation.

"Yeah, you'd be happy to order a stripper. I'd love to help Griss". Warrick replied.

"Great! Catherine is putting together something for Sara and Mia is helping her out with that so I thought I should throw something together for Nick".

"Have they set a date yet"? Warrick asked.

"Not that I'm aware but whenever they set it for, it will be the night before".

Greg and Warrick laughed.

"This should be fun". Greg said.

Grissom smiled. "Ok, that will be all now make sure you write everything down". Grissom said looking up at Ecklie who had appeared in his doorway.

Warrick just looked at him.

"Ecklie". Greg said walking past him

"Sanders".

"He should be our target practice". Warrick said grinning.

"Yeah, or maybe the bulls eye on my dartboard".

"Nah, that hurts less. He's put us through so much, not to mention that crap he loads on Grissom".

"Yeah, anyways shall we meet up tonight to plan some things for this party"? Greg asked.

"Sure, how about Rosie's at say 7 p.m."?

"Sounds good, I'll catch you later Sanders".

Greg waved as he got into his Denali and headed to meet Sara at their scene.

After shift Warrick and Greg met up to talk about where and when to have Nick's bachelor party.

Nick and Sara went back to his place and talked about possible dates.

"How about Valentine's Day"? Nick said.

"I don't know, let's think about it ok"? Sara replied.

Nick smiled and nodded.

"How about St. Patrick's Day weekend "?

"That would be the same week as Catherine's birthday". Sara said.

"Oh, yeah and Grissom is taking her out of town". Nick said.

"How about a February wedding just not on Valentine's Day"? Nick asked.

"I like February". Sara replied.

"February 26th"? Nick asked.

"It's a date". Sara replied snuggling close to Nick before closing her eyes.

"I can't wait to make you my wife, I love you". Nick said kissing her soft chestnut brown hair.

Nick finally fell asleep himself holding Sara through the night.
