Sara was now completely out of it her head flopped against the seatbelt bouncing with every movement of the car. Catherine had finally given up quizzing Nick and was sat back ignoring the fact that her phone was going off.

"Cath are you going to get that?" asked Nick

"No"

"Why don't you turn it off"?

"Because if I turn it off then Ecklie will ask my why I did that, this way I can just tell him I did hear it. He's only going to be going on about his suit or the case …and my shift finished ten minutes ago" finished Cath looking at her watch.

"Here we are" Nick pulled up outside Cath's house allowing her to get out.

"Now Nick don't take advantage of her it his stat" smiled Cath unable to resist having the last word before shutting the door and waving.

Nick shuck his head as he pulled of looking over to Sara.

"Your going to kill me when you wake up" he whispered to Sara who stirred slightly as the sound of his voice.

"Home" she mumbled "bed"

"Well there's a offer I can't refuse," replied Nick with his huge Texan smile.

By the time they got back to Nicks Sara was fully awake again.

"How you doing?" asked Nick pulling the car up.

"I feel like crap. Did you just tell Cath about us?" asked Sara squinting as if trying to remember.

"It was a accident," offered Nick opening the door and helping Sara out.

"The whole lab will know by now wont they"

"Probably. I guess we don't' have to worry about telling people now"

"Ecklie" said Sara as Nick wrapped a arm round her waist to support he while he opened the door.

"He'll lecture us. If he tries to split us up I'll sue hi for discrimination I know a lot of lawyers" said Nick helping Sara over to the couch.

"This is your house"

"Well I'm pleased you recognise it," laughed Nick

"You'll get all my germs over it" said Sara flopping down on the sofa.

"We can be sick together it will be romantic"

"It will be gross," said Sara sticking he tongue out which in Nick's opinion made her unbelievably cute.

"Do you want anything, pill's food"?

"Urgh no" replied Sara rolling onto her side before getting up in such as rush her legs seemed to get tangled in themselves causing her to bang into the table next to her as she dashed to the bathroom.

"Sara" Nick turned round at the bang in time to see the bathroom door slam shut behind her. He picked a glass up off the side and filled it with water before heading to the bathroom.

He found Sara sat on the floor lent up against the bath.

"Here" Nick bent down and handed her the water before placing a hand against her forehead.

"Your burning up" he observed opening a cupboard door and getting out a cloth.

"Come on" he pulled Sara so one arm was round his neck and lifted her with ease. After placing her gently down on his bed he disappeared form the room. He returned a few minutes later balancing several objects in his arms. Sara was laid on her back her head propped up on some pillows so she could see in the doorway.

"I don't think you've got anything left but this is encase you have to puke again" said Nick placing what looked to be a washing up bowl on the floor next to the bed. He then placed a glass of water on he table along with a bowl of water. He sat himself on the edge of the bed next to Sara. He dipped the cloth from the cupboard in the water and placed it against Sara's forehead sweeping her hair back with the other hand. Sara moaned slightly as the cool water relived her headache.

Ten minutes later and Sara's eyes were shut the cloth lay on the forehead. Nick lent forwards and kissed her cheek before quietly getting up, he made it to the doorway until he heard a week voice.

"Nick" called Sara weakly from her position laid on the bed.

"I'm here, what do you need?" he asked almost running to her side.

"You" replied Sara "hold me, you make me feel better"

Nick didn't need to ask another thing he simply laid on the bed next to her wrapping his arms around her. Now laid in his warm embrace Sara was starting to feel better.
