Chapter Six-The Beginning Again
Crime Lab 29th of April 2005 7:00 a.m., Nick and Warrick are in the locker room getting ready for work when Catherine walks in.
"I'll come back later," said Catherine when she saw Nick.
"No it's fine I'll go," replied Nick getting his gun and leaving.
"How ya feeling?" asked Warrick when Catherine sat down next to him.
"Apart from the morning sickness I'm fine. Now I can get on with my life now that Danny is behind bars," replied Catherine.
"We'll get through this; don't forget I'm here for you," said Warrick wrapping an arm around Catherine's shoulders.
"I know," replied Catherine wiping away the single tear that rolled down her face.
"Come on we have work to do," said Warrick gently helping Catherine up off the bench in the locker room.
Catherine and Warrick left the locker room and headed to the break room.
"Okay Nick you have a hit and run involving a teenage boy, and Rick you have a robbery. Okay?" said Catherine handing both the guys the case files.
"Oh so she calls you Rick now," said Nick sarcastically before leaving the break room.
Nick headed to the locker room and Catherine walked towards her office with Warrick following.
Catherine stood at the front of her desk; Warrick then came up behind her and wrapped an arm around her waist.
"You alright?" asked Warrick turning Catherine around so she was facing him.
"I'm fine…it's just Danny's trial is really bugging me," replied Catherine.
"We've got months 'til Danny's trial," said Warrick reassuringly.
"I know I'm still a bit scared," replied Catherine shakily.
"There is nothing to be scared about," said Warrick reassuringly.
"I know," replied Catherine, letting out a shaky sigh.
Catherine gave Warrick a little peck on the check before saying "Don't you have a scene to go to."
"I'm going I'm going," replied Warrick.
"Call me if you need any help," said Catherine before Warrick walked out of her office.
About half an hour later Catherine's cell rang.
"Hello," said Catherine in a normal tone.
"Mom it's me Lindsey," replied Lindsey.
"What's wrong Lindsey?" asked Catherine in a worried tone.
"Nothing I just wanted to know how you are," replied Lindsey.
"I'm fine, now don't scare me like that again," said Catherine.
"Okay, okay," replied Lindsey sarcastically.
"Don't you dare use that tone with me again missy," said Catherine.
"That's all I wanted to know so bye," said Lindsey.
"Bye sweetie," replied Catherine hanging up her phone.
Catherine had only just clipped her phone back onto her belt when Grissom walked in.
"I need to warn you Ecklie knows that you're pregnant," said Grissom sitting down in the chair opposite Catherine.
"You're joking aren't you?" asked Catherine.
"No, no I'm not, if Ecklie knows then most of the lab probably knows well everyone except Greg 'cos he's always the last to know," replied Grissom.
"What a…" Catherine was cut off by Ecklie walking into her office.
"What are you stupid?" asked Ecklie practically yelling.
"Ecklie I'm sorry, it's not my fault I'm pregnant, i-it's…" Catherine trailed off.
"Catherine you have to be careful when you're screwing around," replied Ecklie.
"Ecklie I'm not screwing around," yelled Catherine, running out of her office.
"If you took any notice in your colleagues you would know that Catherine was raped," said Grissom exiting Catherine's office, Ecklie did the same but went in the other direction.

Catherine sat in her car banging her head on the steering wheel.
'How could he think that, that is the last thing I want to do right now,' thought Catherine to herself.
Catherine had now stopped banging her head on the steering wheel but had her hands tightly wrapped around the steering wheel.
'I've gotta get away from here,' thought Catherine to herself.
Catherine started her car and drove off not aware of how fast she was going; she didn't know where to go, she just drove.
Catherine was distracted from her thoughts when her phone rang, she decided not to answer it knowing it would probably be Grissom or Ecklie, the last person she wanted to talk to right now was Ecklie.
Catherine decided to go home after driving around the street of Vegas for a while.
When Catherine got home Lindsey hadn't gone to school yet but was getting ready to go.
"Catherine why are you home this early?" asked Lilly.
"Ecklie," replied Catherine going into the living room, walking over to the mini bar and fixing herself a screwdriver.
"What have you done this time?" asked Lilly following Catherine.
"It's not what I did it's what he did," replied Catherine.
"What did he do?" asked Lilly.
"He called me a slut, well not in those exact words but that's what he meant," replied Catherine.
"Why did he call you a slut?" asked Lilly.
"He called me a slut 'cos I'm pregnant," replied Catherine sitting down on the couch.
"When did you find out?" asked Lilly.
"Yesterday," replied Catherine.
"Who is the father?" asked Lilly.
"I rather not talk about it," replied Catherine walking up to her bedroom passing Lindsey on the way.
"Hey mom, what you doing back so early?" asked Lindsey.
"Don't worry just go finish getting ready for school," replied Catherine.
Catherine walked into her bedroom and collapsed on her bed then started crying.
