Love Only Grows

Summary: Warrick takes another job in New York; how will the team deal with his decision? Will the one person who truly loves him tell him…before it's too late?

A.N.: There is a mention of events occurring in 'Playing with Fire'. I don't know how bad the spoilers are, but I suggest you watch the episode first…just to be safe. Better safe than sorry in my opinion.

Seven - The Hospital

Nick and Greg were already there when Warrick and Sara had arrived. Grissom greeted them before ducking into Cath's room. Nick grinned at the flushed look on Sara's face.

"So, you guys talk?" he asked curiously.

Warrick coughed awkwardly. "Yes." He threw a look at Nick to not ask any questions. Nick took the hint. "Anyone want coffee?" Warrick asked standing up. Sara nodded. He smiled at her. "Greg?" Greg too nodded. "Nick?"

"Yeah, I'll come with…" Nick said. He rubbed Greg's shoulder before following Warrick down the corridor to the coffee machine. "So, what happened between you and Sara when Greg and I left?"

Warrick laughed. "Come on Nick; you know I don't kiss and tell."

"Ah. So you kissed…" he trailed off when Warrick glared at him. "Okay…okay." Nick looked over Warrick's shoulder. Warrick followed his gaze, which landed on Greg. Warrick turned back and saw the love in Nick's eyes.

"What's going on between you and Greg?" Warrick asked, mocking Nick's question about Warrick and Sara.

"Hmmm…I'm not sure," Nick said, lost in thought. He looked at Warrick. "I really like the guy; I do. But I'm just worried about his chances out in the field if we make a thing of it." He jumped at the beep from the coffee machine.

Warrick put in the money for the next coffee and spoke, "Nick, go for it. Don't waste such precious time. I waited for things to happen between me and Sara, thinking I had all the time in the world. Now look at us." Warrick put more money into the machine and left Nick to his thoughts.

"Thanks," Sara said when Warrick handed her a cup. Greg imitated this as Nick handed him a cup. Warrick winked at Nick who nodded.

"Walk with me," Warrick asked, taking Sara's free hand and walking with her down the corridor and around the corner. He pushed her gently against the wall and looked back around the corner. He had a clear view of Nick and Greg from there.

"Warrick, what do you…?" Sara protested. Warrick silenced her with a kiss. He pointed around the corner.

"Watch."

Sara turned around so she could see around the corner and almost gasped when she watched as Nick leant forward and kissed Greg. They both had they're eyes closed, blocking out the world. Sara turned back around to face Warrick and smiled. "You're good."

Warrick nodded. "They just needed a push…Nick needed the push." He took a sip of his coffee and looked back around the corner. He smiled at his two friends. Sara cough for attention made him look at her. She was smirking. "What?" he asked amusement evident in his voice.

"I'm feeling a little left out now."

Warrick grinned. "You are? Well why didn't you say anything?" Warrick leant down and brushed his lips over Sara's. She huffed and pouted when he pulled away. Warrick smiled. "You ain't half impatient tonight."

"I have every reason to be." Sara pulled his head down for a searing kiss. Warrick groaned and asked her to elaborate her statement. "Four months Warrick."

"Ah," he said in realisation. "We'll just have to make up for lost time then."

A cough was sounded just before Warrick and Sara kissed again. Both turned their heads, coming face-to-face with Grissom. "If you guys want to get out of here and 'talk', or something, feel free to. The doctor said it could be a while."

Warrick nodded once Grissom walked away. "You want to?" he asked Sara.

Sara merely nodded before allowing Warrick to pull her out of the hospital and into her Denali. He drove them straight towards her apartment.

Only 4 more chapters left after this one. :( I'm upset about that myself.
