"But you're the supervisor." Sara retorted as she kneaded his shoulders.

"So were Grissom and Catherine, and you can see what it did for them." Nick protested.

Sara let out a harrumph. "Fine, but we're not done. After shift we'll just finish this at my place." She leaned down and whispered in his ear. "And I'm pretty sure that clothing is optional."


"Sara, I need to get something straight here." Nick furrowed his brow at Sara.

She quirked an eyebrow at him. "Right now?" They were in her bed, tangled in the sheets and until Nick had made that comment, things had been going along rather nicely.

Nick let out a frustrated sigh. As much as he was enjoying 'the moment', he really needed a few things cleared up so he could enjoy it even more. "Yeah, right now."

"What is it?" Sara looked at him with a worried expression on her face.

Nick just cut to the chase. "Why are you with me? I mean, we've flirted for over four years and until I got promoted nothing ever came of it."

She smirked. "I can think of a couple of reasons."

Nick arched a brow inquisitively.

Sara continued. "Until that day on the roof I had no idea that you had a thing for me."

Nick almost protested.

"Don't deny it, Nick. You wouldn't be here if it wasn't true." Sara looked amused.

Nick chuckled. "Ok, you got me."

"Besides, I kind of have a thing for you." She admitted.

Nick grinned.

"Can we get back to what we were doing now?" She leaned up and kissed him. "Until this happened I hadn't had sex in nearly five years and I'm making up for lost time."

"Yes, ma'am." Nick's lips met hers in a fiery kiss.


The Next Day

"Now let me get this straight. Sophia's pregnant and you might be the father." Warrick looked at Greg skeptically.

"Yes." Greg replied a bit exasperated. "Only it might be Grissom or some other guy."

"Sophia?" Warrick was having a hard time picturing Sophia Curtis as the kind of woman that would juggle that many men.

"Yes." Greg let out a weary sigh. "I guess I should have taken Mia up on her offer."

Warrick's eyes went wide for a moment and then he regained his composure. Suddenly he wasn't sure that his encounter with Mia had been all that flattering and worth risking his relationship with Catherine over. "Mia?"

Greg nodded. "Yeah, we had dinner a few months back and she suggested we go back to her place and watch a movie. I didn't think Sophia would like it, so I turned Mia down."

Warrick had to restrain a chuckle. He reasoned after how direct Mia had been about hitting on him that if she wanted to get Greg into bed, she certainly wouldn't use a line about watching a movie. "I'm sure things will work out, man."

"I don't know." Greg shook his head. "Maybe I should just ask out Mia."


"Catherine, you're going to give me a heart attack." Conrad Ecklie was seriously winded. He had definitely underestimated Catherine's skill.

"Oh, and I'm just getting started." Catherine had a wicked smile on her face. She had yet to shed an article of clothing and Ecklie was ready to keel over.

"A few more weeks of this and maybe we can talk about getting you back where you belong." Ecklie huffed out between breaths.


Another Day Later

"Welcome back, Mr. Grissom." The too young, too suave looking doctor regarded Grissom who had just woken up from his coma.

Grissom blinked at the doctor. "I got hit by a bug."

"Yes, you did." The doctor replied, smiling far too wide.

"Grissom." Sophia stood next to the doctor looking at Grissom expectantly.

Grissom furrowed his brow in confusion. "Who are you?"


"You wanted to see me?" Warrick looked at Catherine quizzically as he walked into the layout room.

She pursed her lips together as she regarded Warrick. "We need to talk."

"About?" Warrick hoped to hell that Catherine hadn't found out about his little trip over to Mia's place.

"Let's go in Grissom's I mean Nick's office." She didn't want to have anyone overhear what she had to say.

"Isn't he in there?" Warrick hadn't seen Nick for a while and just assumed that he was doing paperwork.

"Ah, no, actually, I think he and Sara are out working on a double in the desert." Catherine replied, wanting to get Warrick alone as soon as possible.

"Lead the way." Warrick gestured towards the hallway and briefly wondered why Nick seemed to always want to work with Sara when in the past he'd always wanted to work solo.

He didn't have much time to think because as soon as the door was closed, Catherine pulled him with her towards the desk. "I need you, Warrick." She gripped the front of his shirt as she perched on the desk and kissed him for all she was worth.

Warrick pushed her down on the desk and decided to just let nature take its course. If she had heard about Mia, she didn't seem to care.


"You know, at some point in time, we're actually going to have to collect evidence." Nick smirked at Sara as she refastened the last button on her shirt.

"We have time." She smirked back. "Zip up."

A tinge of pink flushed Nick's cheeks as he complied with Sara's request. "Perimeter?"

"Sure." She smiled picking up her field kit.

"Hey, Sara?" Nick picked up his own kit.

"Yeah?" She glanced over her shoulder at him with a curious expression.

Nick waggled his eyebrows. "Next time it's triple or nothing."

She chuckled.


"No, you're not Sophia." Grissom regarded her suspiciously. "But there is something familiar about you."

"Why do you say I'm not Sophia?" She looked at him curiously.

"You look a lot like Teri, but you sound like someone else." He furrowed his brow and as a realization hit him, he looked worried. "What did you do with Sophia?"


"Nick is never going to want to use that desk again." Warrick chuckled as he tucked his shirt into his pants.

"Speaking of Nick." Catherine had a plan forming in her mind.

Warrick arched a brow. "What about Nick?"

"Doesn't he have a thing for Sara?" Catherine knew that Nick shared a good deal of information with Warrick.

"Maybe, but I doubt anything will ever happen. She's never going to get over Grissom." Warrick was convinced that Sara had a terminal case of Grissomitus.

"Hmm, you may be right." Catherine mussed. She was going to have to find some other way to get what she wanted.

"Is that all you wanted?" Warrick looked a little amused after their little work out.

"For now." She looked at him seductively. "What do you say we go back to my place after shift?"

"Catherine, you are an evil woman." Warrick teased.

She laughed. "Yes, and you love me."

"Yes, I do." He replied.


"So, Mia." Greg decided he was just going to go for it. There was no telling if Sophia would even stay with him and he wasn't going to wait around to find out.

"Hey, Greg." She smiled at him.

"Doing anything after shift?" He was going to ease into this slowly.

She cast him an apologetic smile. "Actually, I am, sorry."


Grissom regarded the blond standing next to his bed and without a trace of fear, confronted her. "Heather, where is Sophia?"
