Author's note: okay I got a lot of help on what to do and I'm kinda playing with them. I have gotta say this was a hard chapter to write and it took up a lot of rough drafts in my classes when I shoulda been taking notes. Trust me there were a lot. That and my one good draft got taken away by my teacher who wasn't convinced that I was writing like I should be doing since it was Language Arts. Song is "Look at What I've done" By Chris Cagle.
Anyways I have a question for you allIf you review please say what pairings you want. If you want this to end Nick/Sara then say that because if not I might sway away from it or whatever because I have two endings I want.
Until Next time if I can update soon since I have a Europe Final next week Airforceintraining.
Nick sat in his house with a beer bottle in his hand and the radio playing. A song came on that made him throw the empty beer bottle against the wall. He never should have done what he did. Chris Cagle's words filled the room and Nick drank.
I saw it in her eyes when I was sayin' goodbye
that girl, she ain't gonna be alright.
'Cause I could tell she'd be going through a livin' hell
And I, I wouldn't be there by her side.
Nick groaned and closed his eyes, but he still remembered it like yesterday.
"I can't do this anymore Sara. We can't be together like this and do our jobs. This will ruin all we worked for," Nick said and She looked at him before looking away with tears in her eyes. "I'm sorry."
Nick kissed her hair softly and she didn't move. She looked away as tears fell.
"Goodbye," He whispered and then walked out of her house without looking back.
And Lord I felt so bad as I sat and watched her cry
Thinkin' I was moving on, and she was barely gettin' by
Look at what I've done to her, look at how I made her feel
I gave back her heart the broken part, she got the wrong end of the deal.
And look at what it's done to me, you gotta know it' tears me up
I gave it everything I had, and lord it just wasn't enough
And hurtin' her like this seems so wrong
Yeah, look at what I've done to her...Now she's alone.
Two days later she left.
Nick threw his head back and chugged the beer bottle. He had a son. Kenneth Alexander Sidle. He had a son who hated the fact that Nick made his mom cry.
Paris Hotel room number 273...
"Mommy why don't you and daddy get along?" Kenny asked crawling next to Sara on the bed.
"We just don't baby," Sara said and Kenny nodded.
"Can we go to see the tigers?" Kenny asked.
Sara flashed in her mind to when She and Nick went on a date there.
"Don't think so Baby. Maybe some other time," Sara said.
Kenny sighed and then got under the blankets next to Sara. He curled up against his mom and fell asleep soon after with the soft radio playing in the background. Sara stayed up thinking. Some places she just hated to be. The lab was one, because she had to face Nick and remember when they were together. It hurt. It hurt real bad.
Nick didn't sleep in his room last night. That's where he and Sara had slept together. Where Kenny was conceived. That's just too many memories. So he tried to drink them away.
Sara kissed Kenny as he slept and then put her arm around him before trying to fall asleep but the sounds of Vegas were just too much. She stayed awake all night.
The next day Sara was looking at some pictures of a scene in a lab. Nick was in the lab across the hallway and he looked up at her a second. He shook his head as Jason walked over next to her and they stood side by side without any problems. At the moment, if they were within 5 feet one of them would kill the other.
I saw her out last night and she was havin' a good time
That girl, it looks like she'd doin' fine.
But then I saw a man walk up and take her by the hand
And I, oh god, I almost died.
And then it hit me, she didn't really need me.
In the DNA lab Greg watched Sara and Jason for a while too. Jessica and Mark joined the two and they looked like they were alright. Greg didn't know what the hell went on between Sara and Nick, but he was happy Sara was alright. Nick on the other hand was having second thoughts.
Look at what I've done to her, Look at how I made her feel
She's found somebody new and look who took the time to heal
and look at what it's done to me, You gotta know it tears me up
To have walked away from the love we made and just leave it in a cloud of dust
And now it's got me thinkin' maybe I was wrong
After all the things I've done to her Now she's strong
"You two gotta talk it out Sara," Jessica said as they all sat around.
"I know," Sara replied with a sigh.
"And why don't you get it over with?" Mark asked.
"Because it's not gonna be pretty and I know that," Sara answered. "I'm not exactly looking foreword to it."
"Alright. Enough of this crap," Jason said standing and the three looked at each other.
Jason grabbed Sara's hand.
"Jason," Sara said.
"Nope," Jason replied starting to pull her.
"Oh he's dead," Mark grinned.
"Jason I swear I'll kick your ass," Sara said but Jason dragged her into the lab where Nick was and let her go as Nick looked up.
"What's going on?" Nick asked.
"I don't like you, and as much as I wish you dead, you two gotta talk. So let's get this over with for the sake of Kenny alright," Jason said and Sara glared at him. "You two are not leaving this room until you work it out. If you two do, and I catch wind, the next time I'll get a key and physically lock you in a room. Got it. Good."
Jason walked out and closed the door.
"I'll kill him," Sara muttered.
"So what do you want to talk about that your boyfriend decided we needed to talk about?" Nick asked taking off the gloves and looking at Sara.
"First of, he's not my damn boyfriend," Sara said coolly. "And if he was then you would be smacked for that damn tone so watch it."
"Oh I'm sorry. You two are just endlessly flirting. Got it," Nick replied with an icy tone.
"So what if we are? It wouldn't be any of your business anyways," Sara stated.
"Well as much as I enjoy this lovely conversation let's get to the point," Nick almost growled.
Seeing the two locked in a room together Greg went into the lab the FBI agents claimed.
"Who locked them in together?" Greg asked and Jason nodded from where he was watching them 'talk' through the glass. "FYI they both have very short tempers so this can get nasty."
"That's what I'm counting on," Jason replied with a soft smile.
"What really went down between them?" Greg asked.
"I'm guessing in a few minutes the whole lab will hear," Jessica said and Greg sat down then and they all watched.
In the evidence lab...
"He's my damn kid too Sara," Nick said.
"When you pick your damn job over a relationship that really does wonders giving me a damn idea on how committed you'd be to raising him," Sara replied in anger. "And to top it all off I'm pretty damn glad you had no part in raising Kenny so far because he's turned out pretty damn good considering the circumstances and I wouldn't even want to think about how this would have gone if you were there."
"What the hell is that supposed to mean?" Nick growled.
"Oh you just have the greatest personality," Sara said rolling her eyes.
"You don't know me," Nick defended.
"Exactly," Sara said and Nick paused. "That's exactly it. I don't know you Nick. This whole thing between us obviously was a mistake. The only good thing that came from it was Kenny. You made that pretty damn apparent when you left. God you make me fucking sick you know that? Have you even told the people here what happened? Apparently not considering they think I'm some selfish bitch."
Nick's gaze darkened.
Look at what I've done to her, look at how I made her feel
She's standin' tall, she's got it all, got the world at her heels
And look at what it's done to me, look at how it makes me hurt
If I could go back now I swear somehow I'd find a way to make it work.
"You're a helluva man Stokes you know that," Sara continued not even faltering. "I took this job, and told you that we needed to talk about two months after I left. I was planning on telling you I was pregnant but you chose to back out and say that there was nothing to talk about. Did you tell them that? Did you tell them all that you were the one who ended the whole thing? I don't even know how you can even show your face in this world. Either you step up and tell everyone here what the hell really did happen or else I will. And the way I'll tell it will be the damn truth and the results for you won't be pretty at all."
The door opened.
"What?" The two growled and Catherine raised an eyebrow.
"We caught him," Catherine said.
Sara turned to Nick, "Make your choice."
Sara walked passed Catherine into the lab where the group quickly turned to look like they were working.
"Catherine caught the guy supposedly," Sara said and they all looked up and nodded. "Obviously they can take it from here."
"And we're gone," Jessica grinned as they all stood.
"We never got to hang out," Greg pouted with a soft smile and Sara smirked.
"We meant what we said Sanders," Mark said.
"If you ever wanna change then give one of us a call and we'll hook you up," Jason said as they all packed up their things.
"I'll think about it," Greg nodded.
"Oh and the plus side. We don't get in trouble for goofing off," Sara grinned.
"And we blast music," Jessica smirked.
"Frequently," The four said and Greg grinned.
"My kind of place," He smirked.
"I'll talk to the boss, we'll head to the hotel, and then we're outta here," Jason said and he left.
"How'd it go?" Mark asked and Sara sighed.
"How bad will I get in trouble if I punch him?" Sara asked.
"That good eh chica?" Jessica grinned.
Kenny who was sleeping on the couch started to wake up and Sara went over there picking him up. He rested his head on her shoulder and opened his eyes a little.
"Where we goin?" he asked.
"We're going home and then in three days is your birthday little man," Sara smirked.
"Speaking of, what do you want?" Mark asked.
"A puppy," Kenny grinned.
"We'll see," Sara smirked and the other three adults grinned.
"Other than that?" Greg asked.
Kenny thought, "Shooting stars for my room."
"I can do that," Jessica said.
"And a cowboy hat," Kenny grinned.
"Pushing your luck," Sara smirked.
"I'll pout," Kenny said lifting his head to look at his mom.
"Not the pout," Mark sighed.
Kenny pouted and Greg laughed.
"Mommy can we get ice cream?" Kenny pouted.
"A cookie. That's it and quit pouting before you don't get the cookie," Sara said and Kenny grinned.
"Uncle Jason was right. Pouting does get you sugar," Kenny grinned.
"Did he," Sara said and then Jason walked in. "Mark hit him for me."
Jason got smacked over the head, "What did I do?"
They all finished packing up, and Sara gave Greg her email and phone number because he said he'd really think about taking the job. As they all walked out Sara met Nick's eyes before looking away and walking out of the Lab once again.
One last thought ran through Nick's mind...
Aint' life funny, now I'm the one alone.
Look at what I've done to me, She's gone
A/N: likie?
