"Nick, can you stay behind a moment?" Grissom requested after he handed out assignments.

"Sure Gris." Nick stayed sat down as the others left. "So what did you need?"

"Off the record, how is Sara?"

"She's dealing with the situation the only way she knows how."

"Does she need an appointment with the department counsellor?"

"I think she'll be okay, pushing her into something like that wouldn't work. If she wants to talk to them she'll make the appointment."

"If there is anything I need to know." Grissom said.

"We'll let you know. Sara will work through it by throwing herself into work."

"Okay." Grissom then handed him an envelope.

"What's this?"

"Your leave date confirmation. Sara's as well."

"Thanks." Nick replied. "I guess I can book the tickets now."

Nick finally managed to catch up with Sara later that night.

"Hey."

"Hey." Sara turned her head and smiled at him.

"Do you have a minute?" Nick asked.

"If you can talk while I check this for prints." Sara replied.

"I think I can handle that." Nick agreed.

"So what did you want to talk about?"

"We got our leave approved for next month." Nick told her.

"That's good."

"I'll call Mom in the morning and let her know she can go ahead with the plans."

"Sounds good." Sara agreed.

"You could sound a little more enthusiastic." Nick pointed out.

"Sorry. I didn't sleep very well."

"I know." Nick replied. "What I came to ask you was if you still didn't have any idea where you want to go on honeymoon?"

"You said you wanted to plan it as a surprise. Honestly I'll be happy with wherever you pick, I have a passport."

"You even managed to get a decent picture which for a passport is almost unheard of."

"I was just having a good day." Sara replied. "And I've got prints."

"That's good." Nick looked at them. "They look good."

"Hopefully they are in the system."

"I'll leave you too it."

"Thanks Nick."

"I'll see you later."

"Cath, can I ask you a question?" Nick inquired later.

"Depends on what it is." Catherine responded.

"If you could have gone anywhere on your honeymoon where would it have been?"

"Somewhere hot that wasn't a desert, with a beach." Catherine replied.

"Right."

"But Sara would probably prefer something else."

"Any ideas?"

"We actually talked about it when she was telling me she didn't have a passport a while back."

"And?" Nick prompted.

"Where do you want to go?" Catherine asked.

"I don't know." Nick admitted.

"You two are going to have fun planning family vacations in the future." Catherine smiled.

"Cath…"

"Sara said she's always wanted to see the Sistine Chapel. Do with that information what you will. But get back to work." Catherine gave him a break.

"I'm waiting on Hodges and Mia for test results." Nick replied.
