Nick holds Catherine's hand on the drive over to the lab. He can feel her palms sweating and she keeps swallowing hard. Finally she looks over at him and says "Stop the car!!"
He gives her a concerned look and says "What's wrong?!!"
She gives him a look and says "I'll tell you in a minute. Just stop the car!! Now!!"
Nick slams on the brakes and Catherine opens the door and practically runs out and over to the side of the road. She then proceeds to loose what is left of her dinner. Nick walks over to her and holds her hair back. When she is done, he looks at her and says "Feel better?"
She shakes her head and says "No, I forgot what morning sickness was like…."
"Catherine I hate to break it to you, but it isn't morning it's…."
Catherine silences him with a look and he says "Sorry."
She laughs and says "You are forgiven. I was sick constantly with Lindsay and I don't expect this little one to be much different."
Nick looks at her and they simply walk back to the Denali and climb in. Nick smiles and says "You know, Eickle could be really nice about this whole thing. I mean stranger things have happened!"
"Yeah, and pigs could fly. Look Nick, lets tell the others first. Then we can tell Eickle."
"They are going to be shocked. I mean they don't even know we are seeing each other, let alone…."
Catherine smiles and says "Thanks for the visual Nick, but Sara knows."
"She does? She never said anything to me about it."
"I asked her not to."
"Boy are they ever going to be shocked."
They are quiet for the rest of the ride to the lab. Nick pulls up in front and the others are arriving for their shift. Catherine takes a deep breath and says "Well, here goes nothing."
Nick takes her hand and says "We can do it. Together we can do anything we set our minds too. Just remember how much I love you!!"
They walk inside together and are spotted by Warrick. He gives them a look and says "You two aren't scheduled to work tonight. What's up?"
Catherine motions for him to come into the break room. They round up the others and Nick joins Catherine at the table. They take a deep breath and finally Nick says "Catherine and I have something we want, no need to tell you."
Greg gives them a serious look and says "Your both quitting and…"
Nick gives him a look and says "No, it's nothing like that." Nick looks over at Catherine for support. She smiles and says "Well, I guess there is no easy way to say this except."
She takes a deep breath and says "I'm pregnant!"
The room suddenly explodes with various "Your kidding?" "Who's the father?" "When is the baby due?"
Everyone was talking to each other. Except for Sara, who was smiling and sitting next to Gil. She had a small smile on her face. She knew. Finally Nick calls out "Quiet!!"
The room is suddenly silent and the others look at him. They have open mouths and are waiting for someone to say something to break the uneasy silence. Nick looks at them and says "Listen."
Catherine smiles up at Nick and says in a voice that is nearly a whisper "Thanks…."
He smiles back at her and she says "Nick and I are getting married and the…."
This time it is Warrick that says "What?!! Since when are you two see each other?!!"
Catherine smiles and says "Since Nicky went on vacation. I…"
Warrick looks at her and says "I don't believe it."
Sara finally smiles and says "It's true."
Suddenly all eyes are on her. Greg looks at her and says "You knew!? And you didn't say anything?!"
Sara looks at him and says "It wasn't my news to tell. When they wanted you to know they would tell us! Until then, it is their decision!!"
Gil looks at them and says "When?"
Catherine looks at him and says "When what?"
"When is the baby due and when are you getting married?"
Catherine smiles and says "We are getting married next month. The baby is due in June."
The others are shocked. This was the last thing they were expecting to hear. Finally they are all quiet and leave the room one by one. As Warrick leaves he whispers to Catherine. She turns and noticeable shade of white. Nick notices and after he leaves he asks her "What did Warrick say?"
She shakes her head and says "It's nothing important."
"Your upset, don't tell me it isn't anything!"
She sighs and realizes that he isn't going to let it go. So she finally tells him "He just reminded me that Eickle hates personal relationships in the lab."
Nick turns red and says "I can't believe him…"
Catherine holds him back and says "Don't worry. Let's just find him and tell him the news."
Nick smiles, holds out his hand and smiles as he says "Together!"
She smiles back and repeats the word "Together."
They are still holding hands when Eickle spots them in the hallway together.
