V. The Secret's Out
"Does anyone know?"
"Grissom does."
"Oh, shit."
"No, not about you being the dad, God, Nicky, I didn't tell him that! I'm not that stupid!"
"Sorry."
"I mean, he knows I'm pregnant."
"Oh."
"Everyone else doesn't suspect a thing, but sooner or later I'm going to get fat."
"You'll never be fat, Cath, just- bigger than normal."
"Uh… thanks- I think."
"You're welcome."
Pause.
"So what happens when you get bigger?"
"I don't know, Nick. What are we going to tell them?"
"I'm pretty sure you don't want to tell them about me, so why don't you make up a boyfriend or something?"
"You think I don't want to tell them the fact that you're the dad?"
"Uh… yeah. I mean, look at us, Cath, we're not exactly-"
"Yeah, I guess you're right."
"People are going to wonder, you know."
"I know."
Pause.
"Nick?"
"Hmm?"
"I'm really glad you're here for me."
"I know."
