When it came time for Catherine to go to work, she gave Lindsey a quick kiss on the forehead. Lindsey had already gone to bed because she had three tests to do in school the next day. She and her mom had agreed that on nights where she would be having big things going on at school the next day that she would try to get a better nights sleep. Lindsey's grades had started dropping a few months back and now she and her mother had agreed that she would work extra hard to get good grades again. Catherine said goodbye to her mother who was there to take care of Lindsey and then she left the house.

On her way to the lab, Catherine thought about how she should act toward Warrick. Normal was the answer she had come up with. But it's a lot easier said then done. That was what she realized when she arrived at work.

"Hey Cath." Warrick said to her trying to look and sound normal but that wasn't what he looked like at all. He couldn't keep the smirk off his face and the two kept looking at each other. A lot. A lot more than usual in fact, and of course others noticed this.

Sara, Nick, Grissom, Greg, Warrick and Catherine were all in the break room when this was going on. People were also noticing something between Sara and Nick. They were not making eye contact at all. They were practically ignoring each other. These two were determined that no one find out about them dating. But with the two of them carrying on like this it was obvious something must have happened between them.

"Well somebody is happy today." Greg said to Catherine.

"Yes actually I am Greg. Lindsey studied really hard for some tests she is having on today in school and I'm really proud of her."

Catherine was using Lindsey as a cover. It was true she was proud of her daughter but that wasn't the real reason why she was all smiles and Warrick knew it.

"Oh really."

"Yes Greg, really."

"Well then why do you keep looking at Warrick?"

This brought an immediate blush to Catherine's cheeks. Greg had hit the bull's eye. He automatically knew something was going on between her and Warrick.

"I don't keep looking at Warrick."

"You just did."

And that was the truth to. She had just stolen a glance at Warrick.

"Oh it's none of your business anyway Greg."

"Thats all I needed to hear. Oh but I'm not done."

Sara and Nick's eyes, both and the same time widened. They were worried they would be revealed just like Catherine and Warrick had been.

"Got cha. Who just looked like they were about to go into shock when I said that? Hmm, any ideas?"

"Greg that is enough." Grissom said at once. "Cases. Sara, Greg and I are all together. We've got a DB down in Henderson. Lets go."

"All right." Sara said following Grissom out of the room and towing Greg behind her.

"I could kill him." Warrick said to Catherine and Nick. "He just completely exposed us Did you see the look on Grissom's face when you started blushing Catherine?"

"No I was focusing on the floor."

"Oh well I did." Said Nick. "He didn't look all that happy about it either."

Catherine and Warrick were talking about this to Nick because the two couples knew about each other.

"God he might as well have just said aloud that you and Sara are dating." Catherine said to Nick.

"I know. Man that pisses me off." Nick replied while shaking his head.

"All right, enough about this. Let get our assignments. Nick you're with me and Warrick I want you to go solo on this one. You've got a robbery."

Catherine handed the two men their slips and then Warrick said to Catherine, "Whatever you say babe."

Catherine gave him a look as if to say "quit it" and then she grabbed Nick's arm and pulled him out of the break room. Just before they left the room, Catherine couldn't help but smile at Warrick. He just made her so happy that she couldn't put it into words.

The pair processed the scene and got some prints and semen stains sent to DNA and Trace. Then they started to go over their suspects.

Warrick was having more trouble though. There hadn't been on prints left at his crime scene. He was in a jewelry story that had been broken into and there was quite a list of stolen goods. But he couldn't find any trace that there was even someone in there who took the jewelry. It was like a ghost had done it.

Grissom had sent Greg off to send some evidence to DNA which left just him and Sara.

"Sara, can I ask you a question?"

"Sure Griss."

"I need to know. Do Catherine and Warrick have a relationship?"

Sara knew the answer but she wasn't about to tell him that.

"Um I'm not sure. They never told me."

While she was telling her supervisor this, she was quietly saying to herself inside her head, Yes Yes Yes.

"All right because if they do, we have to switch them up or something. You know, put them on different shifts."

"Uh, yeah."

"You could go onto the swing shift . . . "

"NO." Sara cut in saying it with way too much force in her voice.

"Is there something I should know Sara? Maybe about you and Nick."

Damn he knows.

"Fine, were dating okay." Nice just great, Nick is sure gonna love me. Cover blown!

"Thats all I needed to know. Sara your not in trouble. But if Catherine and Rick are dating we will just change Warrick and Greg. Greg on the swing shift and Warrick on nights."

"That simple eh?"

"That simple."

"What about Ecklie?"

"Oh don't worry bout' him."

"Thanks Gil."

"No problem Sara."

When the shift was over Sara went to find Nick, Catherine and Warrick. She found them all together in the parking lot talking.

She ran over to them and starting saying, "I'm sorry but Grissom knows."

"He what!" They all said in unison, knowing immediately what she was talking about.

"He knows."

"I know what you said! But how? Did you tell him?" Catherine asked wide eyed.

"Okay calm down guys. Just listen."

They all nodded in agreement and Sara began. "Well, we were at the crime scene and Greg left so it was just Grissom and I. He asked me about you and Warrick." She said while nodding at Catherine. "I said I didn't know if you guys were dating and he said that if you were, he could just switch up the shifts a bit and then it would be fine. And then he asked about Nick and I and I felt so over powered that I told him the truth and he wasn't mad at all. He said that Warrick could go on nights and Greg could go on swing. Then Warrick and Catherine wouldn't be together. I asked him about Ecklie and he told me not to worry about him and that everything would just be fine. I think we should go to him right now. He is still there in his office."

"God, we sound like we're all getting married or something." Nick said."Listen to us freaking out."

"Oh well maybe we will some day." Warrick said, making Catherine smile. "It's better to get this sorted out now than later."

"Kay, lets go. I'll just call my mom and tell her that she can leave and that I'll be a little lat getting home. You guys go ahead."

"Sure." Nick said as he and Sara left to go back inside to Grissom's office. Warrick gave Catherine a quick kiss on the top of her head as she was taking her cell phone out of her purse and then he went into the building.

Catherine called her mother and told her she could leave. Then she started to walk inside.

On her way in, she thought of how blessed she was right now. Before, her life was never good at all. Once she even thought about what good it was to live. Now she thought she was the happiest woman on the earth. That is what she believed. She thought about how Warrick had said about getting married. That made her smile the biggest smile she possibly could. They had just had there first date the night before and now marriage was even being mentioned. What more could she ask for. She knew if it was just some other guy, she wouldn't want the relationship to move so fast but since it was Warrick, it was a different story all together. She had been in love with Warrick for sometime now and he had finally realized. Life was too good to be true.

By this time she had made it to Grissom's office. The rest of the gang was already there and they had been waiting for her. Catherine went in and shut the door behind her.

"All right, so we think we need to have a change in shifts." Grissom started out.

"Right." Catherine went around and sat down beside Grissom in a chair behind his desk because she was a supervisor to and it was his team and hers that they would be separating.

"Warrick has to be changed from the swing shift to nights and then Greg could go on your team Catherine. Is Greg all right with you? Grissom asked.

"He the only choice we have Gil. If we moved Sara, then Nick and her would be together. But this has to be approved by Ecklie."

"Yes, it does."

"Oh great, were screwed." Nick said.

"No were not. Our reasons are good and he can't let you guys stay on the same team so it's not like he has a choice." Said Grissom.

"But couldn't he put one of us on days?"

"Well he shouldn't and if he tries I will be very pissed off at him and that isn't good on his behalf." Catherine said with force.

"Let me talk to him because I'm not one of the ones involved in the relationships." Grissom told them all firmly.

"All right. Tell me how it goes Gil after you talk to him." Catherine told him.

"Sure."

"So, we free to go?" Warrick asked.

"I'd say so. Have a nice day guys." Grissom said to them.

"Thanks Gil." They all said quietly on their way out.

They each went to there own cars and went home.

Before Warrick and Catherine left. Warrick said to her, "What time do you want me to drop by?"

"Oh lets say four. Linds should be home from school be then."

"See ya."

"Bye." Catherine tilted her head up toward his to receive her kiss.

She smiled the whole way back to her home.
