Catherine returns to work after having 6 weeks off. Being off wasn't so bad but you can only handle so many dirty diapers and feedings before you're anxious to go back to work.
"You're back."
"Finally."
The team works hard all day ona triple. Catherine is more than ready to go home to Liv. But she has one of her locker room chats with Sara before heading home. She and Sara had become friends at some point she wasn't really sure when or how but they had. Sara couldn't help but notice the change in Catherine. Sara used to look up to her but something changed. Catherine wasn't as determined and firey as she used to be. She no longer killed herself over her work. Being a C.S.I used to be a career but now it was just a job to her. Known as the outspoken one on then team she now barely spoke. Catherine realized she changed too. She was worn out, and didn't see things with those bright eyes anymore she was loosing momentum and quickly. She needed a boost but there was no time for one she was run ragged. She wasn't sure when it happened but at some point she lost her spark, and determination the fire in her eyes was gone. She felt like she was fighting a loosing battle. She didn't know why but know she looked before she leaped unlike so many times before. She entered everything with doubt and skeptisism. She wasn't sure how long she could hide the fact she felt like a shell of a person.
"Catherine you ok?"
"Yeah, I'm fine."
"So how are you doing?"
"Fine. I think I want to move."
"Where?"
"Miami."
"Why?"
"I just don't feel comfortable around Warrick anymore."
"Are you going to tell him about Liv?"
"Yes."
"When? When she goes of to college? You can just say 'oh and by the way she's yours.'."
"No, soon."
"Well now's your chance." Sara says as Warrick walks by the locker room.
"Warrick." Catherine calls out as she walks toward him.
"Yeah."
"Can I talk to you for a second?"
"Sure but can you make it quick my girlfriend will fly off the handle if I cancle on her again."
"You have a girlfriend?"
"Yeah we've been going out a few months things are getting kind of serious. So what did you need to tell me?"
"Nothing, never mind I forgot."
"Ok."
Warrick's date:
"So Kate how are you tonight?"
"Fine. "
"Good."
"Warrick do you have a kid?"
"Huh? Why would you think that?"
"The picture in your wallet."
"Oh no you see my colleagues are like my family and this is one of their little girls."
"Oh so she's not yours."
"No."
"But you want kids right?"
"Yeah."
"Warrick I want to take our relationship to the next level."
"Ok?"
"Let's get married."
"Now?"
"No not now."
"Why not? What's holding us back?"
"Nothing."
"So? Let's get married."
"Are you serious?"
"Yeah."
"Ok." To Warrick something didn't feel right though, but he realized that after they had already been married for a few hours but he was going to make it work.
