Nick sat across from Grissom just waiting for the yelling to begin.

"Nick, I know you did what you did because you care for Sara, but you should have had more sense than to just go off the handle like that." Grissom said

"I know Grissom. But you didn't see the look on this face when I opened the door. It was like he wanted me to beat the crap out of him." Nick said not looking at Grissom.

"I know that is what he wanted. I went and had a talk with him after I hung up with Sara tonight."

Nick stayed quiet.

"I told him he would have a lot to think about while he was in jail and he said that was okay because you would be in there with him. He was going to press charges." Grissom said look right at Nick.

"Was going to press charges?" Nick asked a look of hope in his eyes.

"Yes, was. I just happen to tell him about the law that protects victims of assault and that he couldn't have been within a thousand yards of her and you were just protecting her."

"I was" Said Nick. He didn't know what to think at this time. Was this all he was going to get.

"Now because it happened while you were off duty it saved your ass and me a lot of paper work. Nick just please next time you want to beat the crap or as I believe Sara put it 'open a can of ass whoop' in do it in a gym or something." Grissom said with a roll of his eyes.

"I will." Nick said with a smile. "Thanks, Grissom"

"No Nick, thank you." Grissom said with a look.

Nick knew that look was a thank you for doing something Grissom himself couldn't do.

"Is it safe?" asked Catherine as she came down the hall.

"Yeah, it's safe." Said Nick

"Okay, well Grissom you ready, because I for one need my beauty sleep." Catherine asked as she tried to cover a yawn.

"Yeah, let's go."

Nick walked them to the door and Catherine told Nick that Sara had passed out right before she could tell her to good stuff. Nick just laughed and Catherine.

"If I don't see ya'll. See ya in about 2 weeks." Nick said.

"Oh you will see us before two weeks." Catherine said with a grin.

2 weeks later

Catherine had kept her word and had come over every other day. Warrick and come over about once a week and Grissom had called every day. Greg had also come by and made Sara laugh which was what she needed. Sara had been going to consoling for the pass week and felt better than she had in a long time.

And it has everything to do with Nick. She thought with a smile. Just then said cowboy walked into the room.

"Having fun being stuck in the lab?" Nick asked as he walked over and kissed her forehead.

They had been taking things slow. Holding each other at night and kissing Sara wanted to do more but till she got this cast off in two more weeks that was out of the question.

"Yeah, loads." Sara said as she rolled her eyes.

All Sara had been doing was going over old case files that had been on Grissom's desk for Lord only knows how long.

"Everyone wants to coming over for breakfast after shift. Is that alright?" Nick asked. Since the rape Nick was the only one to go to Sara's apartment and that was just to get her some clothes and stuff she would need while at his house. Neither had said anything about when she would move back. Neither was going to start that conversation either. Nick had gotten use to Sara being there and Sara just didn't want to leave.

"Yeah, that's fine. Are you going to make your famous pancakes?" Sara asked. She had fallen in love with his pancakes the second day she was there and Warrick didn't bring breakfast.

"But of course." Nick said.

Grissom came into the room. "Sara can I see you in my office please?"

"Sure thing Grissom." Sara looked at Nick with a raised eyebrow. Nick just shrugged his shoulders.

Once in Grissom's office he asked Sara to shut the door.

"Okay, what's up?"

"We thought Hank would plead guilty, but that is not the case. It's going to trial Sara." Grissom had wanted to be the one to tell her. He couldn't believe what that ass hole was doing.

"Oh" was all Sara could think to say. "Mmm, I need Nick." Sara jumped out of her seat and ran down the hall. Tears falling down her cheeks she kept running till she saw Nick in the break room with Warrick.

"Nicky" Sara whispered.

To Nick it was the phone call all over again. He was at Sara's side before anything knew what was wrong.

"It's Hank." Said Sara

"What about him?" Nick asked getting worked up just by that name.

"We are going to trial." Was all Sara said before she broke down in tears.
