"So?" Nick asked as they got ready for bed.

"I think you need to expand that to form a question." Sara suggested.

"What do you think so far?"

"Emily thinks you should have asked me out on a date officially but she approves of the ring."

"I did ask you out, well to hang out, it just took us a while to figure out that they were dates." Nick said.

"I know. I said Emily thinks. The way it happened was more us."

"Jack's impressed you're not a stripper." Nick told her.

"I'm not sure how to take that." Sara said.

"Since I live in 'Sin City' they were expecting me to marry a stripper or an exotic dancer."

"There is a whole city of those if you want to change your mind."

"You'll do darlin'." Nick winked at her.

"Are you sure because Greg will be more than happy to take me off your hands?"

"You're mine." Nick told her and pulled her onto the bed.

"Aren't you possessive." Sara teased.

"You bet I am."

"I love you."

"I love you too." He kissed her.

"You're going to have to show me that hay barn." Sara said.

"Seriously?"

"Everyone keeps mention it, it would be a shame to miss it."

"Let's go." He grabbed her hand. "How do you feel about drainpipes?"

"I prefer doors." Sara said.

"Trees?"

"Doors."

"Trust you to take all the romanticism out of it." Nick said.

"Let's just go." Sara told him.

CSI

When Sara and Nick tried to creep back into the house a few hours later they hoped that they wouldn't wake anyone up.

"I don't know sneaking in the house in the middle of the night." Emily said. She had been in the kitchen getting a glass of water.

"Hey Em."

"I would ask where you'd gone but since Sara still has straw in her hair it's pretty easy to guess."

Sara's hand automatically went to her hair.

"I remember you throwing things at my bedroom window to get me to let you in on more than one occasion. Especially when you were sneaking around with Tommy Gillian."

"You threatened to tell Mom and Dad."

"The guy is in jail now." Nick pointed out. "Dad was the DA who put him there."

"Do you really think I cared about that at the time? He had a Harley and was hot."

"He knocked over a bank." Nick countered.

"And managed to steal the grand total of $500." Emily pointed out. "He wasn't exactly good at it. He only got 15 years in jail because Dad is good at making juries like him and because Tommy took his Daddy's shot gun with him and he tripped over the rug and it went off into the ceiling."

"He's still in jail." Nick pointed out.

"Which happened about five years after it was over." Emily countered.

"I'll leave you two to debate this." Sara said.

"It's okay I have to go and check on the kids before I go back to bed anyway."

"Well that was interesting." Sara said when she had gone.

"Don't be embarrassed."

"How many more of your relatives are going to catch us?" Sara asked.

"At least is wasn't my parents and besides we all have more than enough on each other to get people to keep their mouths shut."

"Maybe it's a good thing you won't find out anything about me unless I tell you."

"But you're going to collect as much blackmail material as possible while you're here." Nick guessed.

"Of course."

"Then you'll fit right in."

"We should get back to bed before we wake anyone up." Sara suggested.
