The Anniversary Dance

"I have been waiting two years for this," Sara whined. "Nick, stop playing this stupid game and pop the damn champagne cork!"

"Sara, I have been waiting that long for the anniversary champagne toast," Nick said trying to get rid of the foil seal. "Okay, I've got this foil stuff off, now for the real fun! Stand back, I am popping the cork!"

Nick unleashed the cork almost immediately. It flew across the dining room and landed in a plant that Grissom gave them to as a housewarming gift. Nick poured the bubbly drink into two champagne flutes.

"Happy 2nd anniversary, Sara," Nick said.

"Happy 2nd anniversary, Nick," Sara said as they softly tapped their flutes.

The CD player played their wedding song, they got up their chairs and danced.

"I can't believe it has been two years since we got married," Nick said.

"It seemed like yesterday since I was a blushing bride," Sara grinned. "I was looking forward to becoming a part of the Stokes family."

"It seemed like yesterday when I first laid eyes on you," he smiled. "I was tossing dummies off the rooftop and you were talking with Grissom."

"All that constant flirting paid off," she said. "We are happily married and have a beautiful little girl. I can't imagine not having you in my life."

"I can't imagine not having you in mine," he said. "Speaking of our little girl, I hope she's having fun with Janine at the Zoo."

"I just hope that Janine doesn't take her to see the lions," she looked at her husband with concern.

"I told her about the fang incident," he said. "Janine reassured me a few times that she'll skip the lion's den so Abigail wouldn't be traumatized any further by the sight of those scary fangs."

"Nick, shut up and kiss me!" she purred as she put her head on his chest.

He peppered her with kisses on her cheeks and lips. She gave him a passionate kiss in the mouth.

"Sara, I think we should each drink two glasses of champagne," Nick said. "We didn't have one last year because you were pregnant with our daughter."

"Are you out of your mind, Cowboy?" Sara asked. "You mean drink two glasses now!"

"No Chicken Scratch, that's not what I meant," he explained. "We'll each drink one glass now and the other much later."

"Oh, that clears things up," she said. "Nicky, you hadn't called me Chicken Scratch since the day we were discussing forged signatures with Catherine in the case of that former showgirl that we thought was missing."

"It turned out she was murdered by those siblings and devoured by some piranhas," he said. "I can't believe you remembered when I first called you that."

Sara laughed as they released each other from their embrace. Nick went to the kitchen while she sat back down on her chair. He returned with two small plates each holding a two inch portion of tiramisu that was topped with lightly sweetened homemade whipped cream. He gave one to Sara and put the other on his place. Sara looked at him as if she had a question mark tattooed on her face.

"Mom made some and shipped it to us for the occasion," Nick explained.

"Nick, you know that we have our favorite bakery that could have done that for us," Sara said.

"She was making tiramisu for her bridge club," he said. "Suddenly, she thought about her youngest child's wedding anniversary and made a small pan for us."

"I have to call her and thank her for the edible anniversary gift," she said.

"She'll appreciate it!" he winked at her.

They ate their tiramisu and finished sipping their champagne. They put the dishes and flutes in the sink to be dealt with later. Nick went to the living room look up the 'Coupling' DVDs and found the one that had the complete first season. He put the disc in the player and turned on the TV. He hit play, sat on the couch and was joined by Sara. They watch the first three episodes before they were embracing and passionately kissing each other. They paid no attention to the remaining three episodes or whatever bonus features the DVD contained.
