Summary: Warrick and Sara have been dating for 5 months. Now they have to come clean. Will everyone accept them?

Disclaimer: I don't own CSI even though it would be really cool if I did.

Hope you enjoyed the first eight chapters, and here's the nineth. I hope this is long enough, I tried my best.

This chapter takes part seven months after Sara left so she's about eight and a half months pregnant!

Coming up: I'm not going to tell you - I have got a few things planned but I still need some reviews with more ideas because I'm nearly all out of them.

Thank you to all the reviewers so far ... No new chapter till at least 45 reviews (it's not so much to ask but please review).

Chapter Nine - Seven Months Later

Warrick sat at the meeting room table just staring at the wall. He did this everyday. Evaluated why he was still working there and what he had done wrong. He didn't smile.

Nick stood at the door watching his best friend. When was the last time he smiled? Nick couldn't even remember.

"Its seven months today Nick," Warrick paused, "seven months without a word."

Sara had left exactly seven months earlier. He remembered that day. Grissom went to her apartment and tried to stop her from leaving but it was empty. She'd gone.

He remembered Catherine telling him just after she got off the phone with Grissom. She'd asked him if he'd be the one to tell Warrick. He'd agreed.

That's the last time Nick ever saw Warrick smile.

Today was just a boring, normal day. Just like every other one. A couple of B&E's and nothing else but paperwork.

Shift was finally over and Nick and Warrick were alone in the locker room getting ready to leave.

"Warrick," Nick started.

"Yea."

"Do you want to go out somewhere, you know go to a bar, get a drink or something?" he continued.

"Nah, not now. I'm really tired I was thinking about going home and getting some sleep for once," Warrick replied.

Nick nodded in agreement even though he knew his friend wouldn't do any sleeping instead he would just do lots of tossing and turning. Lying to himself that, that was sleeping.

Catherine stood hidden behind the door of the locker room so neither of the boys could see her. She listened to their conversation. She knew it was partly her fault. She had complained about them even though neither Warrick nor Sara did anything out of line. She didn't know why she did it. It was her fault. Now Warrick hardly ever talked to her and her relationship with Nick was also strained. Warrick took almost every solo case or if there were none, he would go with Nick. She knew that, that was her own fault. She also knew that Grissom felt the same way.
When Warrick arrived home he was lost. He dropped his stuff by the door, walking into the kitchen, opened the fridge and pulled out a bottle of beer. He drank it in one gulp. He walked over to the sofa and slumped down onto it. He didn't have the energy to turn his TV on.

He could hear the phone ring. He decided to pick it up because of the far out chance that it might just be Sara.

"Warrick, I need your help."

"Sara?" he asked, shocked.

Warrick had waited seven months to hear her voice. He thanked god that he had decided to pick up that phone.

"Yeah. I'm sorry Warrick. I'm so sorry. I love you, I really do. I know I said that love isn't always important, but it is. I'm sorry."

Warrick could hardly hear her as her tears were muffling her voice.

"Don't be sorry Sara. I love you too. I always have."

"I need help"

"Anything."

Warrick had waited seven months to hear her voice. Now she needed his help and nothing was going to keep him away.

Warrick called Catherine from his car. They didn't talk for long. She said he could take off as much time as he needs. She knew she owed him that much.

"Tell her I'm sorry Warrick."

"I will."

Warrick hung up the phone. He was speeding down the high way.

He was going to find his Sara.
