AN: Thanks again for all of your reviews! They make my day!
Well, I think I shall dedicate this chapter to Olivia...you'll know why in the first sentence. To Sam, who agrees with me that Jesse Spencer is one of the top 5 sexiest guys ever, and of course toall of my reviewers...you guys are AWESOME!
A half an hour of car dancing andone too many renditions of 'Take Me or Leave Me' later, they finally arrived at the airport.
"You're evil Sidle, you know that?" Nick whispered to Sara as they unloaded the car.
She smiled in response. "You could have told them it was my CD."
Nick was about to reply when Warrick walked up behind them "Need help with anything?" he asked.
"Sure." They handed him his bag, he took Catherine's too and walked away.
"You know I'll get you back for this." Nick smiled as he locked the car.
"Just try." She smiled back.

"Yeah, were getting on the plane now." Catherine said into her cell phone. "I know Mom." She smiled. "Let me talk to Lindsey…"
Sara and Nick had already put their luggage in the compartment above their seats and were having a fun time watching Catherine try to talk on her phone and put her bag in the compartment as people pushed past her. Warrick had already sat down, and couldn't do much to help, so he watched too and tried not to laugh. Finally after she had managed to put her luggage away, she sat down and continued her phone conversation.
"…well, day shift has decided to train people during our shift." She said "Yeah, I don't know either…I'm definitely not."
A stewardess tapped Catherine on the shoulder "Ma'am, would you please turn off your cell phone?" She asked politely.
"Mom, I have to go. Love you too, bye." She closed her phone.
After the captain had introduced himself over the speakers, the stewardesses started their ritual of showing everyone what to do in an emergency. Soon after, they were starting to take off.
Catherine took a deep breath, closed her eyes and leaned her head back against the seat.
"You okay?" Warrick asked, concern evident in his voice.
"This is the only part of flying that I hate." She gave a weak smile. "I'll be fine."
Soon they were in the air and Catherine relaxed a little.
"Would you like anything to drink?" A stewardess was pushing a cart full of soda cans down the aisle.
"Coke." Nick said receiving a smile and a wink from the woman.
"I'll have a coke too." Sara told her.
As she poured the drinks Sara looked at Nick and mimicked the wink that the stewardess had given him then batted her eyelashes and smiled at him. She was about to move her hand to her heart when the woman gave them their drinks.
"Here you go pumpkin." Nick smiled at Sara and handed her the drink.
The stewardess looked away embarrassed and pushed on down the aisle.
"Pumpkin?" Warrick whispered to Catherine.
She looked at him and smiled. "I've always known there was something between those two." She whispered back.
"Aww Nick, now she's heart broken." Sara pointed out.
"Pumpkin!" Warrick and Catherine said in a singsong voice. "How cute."
"Are we in third grade again?" Nick laughed.
"I just think it's adorable." Catherine said. "Any other pet names?"
Sara almost choked on her drink "New subject please?"
"Yeah, uh, who wants to play a game?"
Though they weren't exactly sure what it was Warrick and Catherine had victorious smiles on their faces knowing that they found something. Well, the surface of something at least.
Warrick stood up as best as he could, and scooted across to the aisle "You guys pick a game. I'll be back." He said and walked towards the back of the plane.
"Oh Sara! You have to see this!" Catherine stood up, got her bag, and sat back down. "Come here."
Sara switched places with Nick leaned across the aisle to see what Catherine had.
"Look." She held out a TV Guide magazine.
"TV's sexiest men!" Sara smiled.
She opened the magazine and flipped through a few pages before saying anything "He's not too bad." Catherine said pointing to the fourth man they saw.
"David Boreanaz?" Sara shrugged. "He looks kind of pissed off."
Catherine laughed and turned the page. "He looks too young…but him…" She pointed to Carmine Giovinazzo. "He's nice."
"He's got that bad boy look going on." Sara smiled.
A few minutes later Warrick walked up, and saw the two looking at a magazine in the middle of the aisle. "Do I want to ask what they're doing?" He asked Nick almost afraid to walk between the two
"TV Guide's Sexiest Men."
Warrick rolled his eyes "Excuse me." Catherine pulled the magazine out of the way just in time.
"You're just jealous." Sara laughed.
They went back to looking at the magazine. When Catherine turned the page again, they both squealed. "He's my favorite."
"He's…" Sara couldn't find the right words.
"Damn sexy." Catherine whispered.
"Oh yeah. Is it even worth going through the rest of them now?"
"After Jesse Spencer, not really."
Warrick reached over and handed them each a napkin. "Drooling isn't very sexy."
Catherine crumbled up the napkin and threw it back at him. "You guys are just jealous you're not sexy TV stars."
"You're right. Were not sexy TV stars. Were just plain sexy." Nick said.
"Oh, not cheesy at all Nick." Sara laughed and sat upright in her seat again.
Catherine put her bag away and sat back down, debating on whether to read or sleep. Sleep won.
Warrick watched as Catherine's eyes fluttered closed and her head started to waver. He smiled when her eyes opened and she sat up straight.
"What?" She asked when she noticed he was looking at her.
"Nothing. Go back to sleep."
"I wasn't sleeping." She denied and closed her eyes. Her head started to waver again, but this time instead of waking up, her head hit his shoulder and she continued to sleep.
Sara rested her head on Nick's shoulder and whispered, "I've always known there was something between those two."
Hope you liked it!
I'm going on vacation Thursday, soI don't know when the next update will be, but I'll try to get another chapter up before I leave.
