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.
Eight - Take Two
They arrived back at the hospital just in time. Cath cries could be heard from out in the corridor; Nick and Greg winced at every single one.
Warrick took a seat on one of the plastic chairs next to Greg and let the surprise show on his face, when instead of taking a seat next to him, Sara slide onto his lap.
He looked up at her and smiled when she shrugged.
They all jumped when Grissom's head appeared around the doorway. "The head's showing. Hi Warrick…Sara; glad you could rejoin us," he greeted, before going back into the room.
Nick elbowed Greg when he sniggered, but Nick couldn't erase the smirk on his face. Nick's arm found its way around Greg's shoulders. Warrick hid his smile in Sara's shoulder.
Grissom's head popped around the doorway again. "It's a boy!" he exclaimed. He disappeared just as quickly.
Warrick kissed Sara in happiness and Greg rested his head on Nick's shoulder again. All grinned madly.
A few moments later, Grissom came out into the corridor, a bundle in his arms. "Guys…" Everyone stood up and went over to Grissom, dying to catch a glimpse of the baby. "I'd like you to meet Ben Jacob Grissom."
As everyone was cooing over Ben, Warrick slipped into Cath's room. She smiled sleepily when she saw him. "You came…"
"I wouldn't have missed for the world." He went over to her and kissed her forehead. "How'd you feel?"
Cath chuckled lightly. "I'm not even gonna try and be sarcastic when I'm this tired. I forgot how much giving birth could take it outta ya." She rested her head back and closed her eyes.
"I'm gonna let you get some rest. I'll be back tomorrow." Warrick kissed her forehead again and left the room. He joined the gang back in the corridor and after talking to Grissom briefly about New York, everyone said goodbye and went their separate ways home.
Sara wouldn't have any of it when Warrick said he was going to check in with a hotel for the night. "You might be happy with sleeping in a hotel, but I won't be. I want you by my side when I wake up," she explained. Warrick nodded and let Sara take him back to her apartment for the second time that day.
Hmm...
