Later that week all of the CSI's except for Sara had to work. She had asked if she could take Lindsey for the day to taste the cake that the bakery that Sara picked selected. Catherine had of course said yes and that they could stay out for as long as they wanted since Lindsey had got off school for Christmas holidays the previous day. Sara also took this opportunity to milk Lindsey for info on how much her mom liked Warrick.

On the way to the bakery was when Sara first asked.

"So Lindsey, how much does your mom like Warrick?" Sara asked casually as not to provoke suspition.

"Well I don't know but she was pretty upset one morning when she came home. When I asked she said it was work stuff but I knew better. Has anything big happened to Warrick in the last year"

"He got married but tha..." Sara started but she was interupted.

"HE WHAT?" Lindsey practically screamed.

"He got married. Didn't your mom tell you?"

"No. This explains a lot"

"What do you mean"

"Well I never see him around anymore and my mom never talks about him and if I ask, she either becomes really quiet or avoids the question."

"Hmm. Well I need to talk to her about that. Oh here we are. Ready to see and taste like 12 different cakes?"

"Totally. Let's go!" and with that Lindsey jumped out of the car and ran into the bakery with Sara close behind.

Meanwhile

Nick and Warrick were in the break room getting some coffee before heading back to the evidence layout room.

"So man, how's the mrs?" Nick asked sipping what could barely be called coffee.

"Honestly I don't know. I never see her she's always at the hospital and we never talk anymore"

"What are you gonna do?"

"I'm gunna go talk to her right now actually can you cover for me?"

"Sure man"

"Thanks"

An Hour Later

"I wonder where Warrick is he's been gone a long time" Nick thought and as if on cue Warrick came though the Layout room door.

"Hey man how'd it go?"

"I... she... I found her in an exam room with her ex. They... they were making out on the table." Warrick said with unreadable emotion all over his face.

"I'm sorry man"

"I'm not"

"What?"

"Seeing her doing that made me realise that I didn't love her. Can I tell you something Nicky?"

"Anything"

"I realised I love Catherine."

"As in Catherine Willows"

"Yep the one and only"

"Wow"

"Ya"

"Are you going to tell her"

"I think I am"

"That's great man. Now I think I hear Grissom coming down the hall so we better get back to work."

"Okay" little did they know that Catherine had been standing out side the door the whole time and had the biggest smile on her face.
