"Catherine." The receptionist stopped her on her way in.
"Yes?"
"Another post card and a letter."
"Letter?" Catherine queried.
"You're supposed to read the postcard first and the letter explains the packages on the table in the break room for you."
"There are packages?"
"Don't worry they are safe." The woman assured her.
"Thanks."
Catherine read the postcard as she walked to the break room and smiled. It was from Nick and Sara and had a picture of the Eiffel Tower with a statement that they had been to the top and a message about going to London.
"A tour of Europe I'm impressed Nicky." She muttered.
"You know what they say about talking to yourself." Greg came up behind her.
"Hey Greg. We've got another post card from Nick and Sara, after Paris they went to London."
"Okay."
"We also got a letter and some packages." Catherine said as they walked into the break room.
"Ooh." There was one for each of the night shift and one for Brass.
Catherine opened the letter.
"Hi guys, we finally made it back to Vegas. We had a great time; we thought you'd all like your gifts so here they are. Don't open them until you're all together. We'll see you tomorrow night as we enjoy the last few hours of our honeymoon. Love Nick and Sara. P.S I'm still sorry for what Nick chose."
"We have to wait?" Greg asked as he shook his package.
"Greg they could have made you wait until tomorrow." Catherine pointed out.
"Wooh. Did someone forget to tell me it's Christmas?" Warrick asked walking in.
"Gifts from Nick and Sara." Catherine explained. "We can't open them until Grissom gets here."
"I thought they weren't back until tomorrow?" Warrick questioned.
"They got back tonight dropped these off and are enjoying their last few hours off." Catherine replied.
"I guess I don't need to worry that I forgot to go by and feed their fish." Warrick sat down.
"I guess not." Greg stated.

"Sara?" Nick said half asleep walking out of their bedroom.
"Hey." Sara was sat on the couch sipping from her mug.
"You okay?"
"Couldn't sleep."
"You should have woken me up." Nick came and sat down beside her.
"You had jet lag." Sara shrugged.
"Technically I was just getting back to my normal schedule. So why couldn't you sleep?"
"No idea. I just couldn't."
"Is something bothering you?" He tucked her hair behind her ear.
"No."
"Is this about Ray?"
"No. I sent him e-mail a few days ago, I got one back. We're talking."
"Is it something I did?" Nick inquired.
"No."
"Work?"
"We haven't been at work for a week and a half." Sara pointed out.
"Is that a problem?" Nick asked.
"Nick we were in Europe on our honeymoon, I think if we showed up in the lab those weirdoes who think there are aliens in New Mexico would be hanging around. I just couldn't sleep."
"Want to watch a movie or something?" Nick offered.
"We could watch what we Tivo'd." Sara suggested.
Nick got up and grabbed the remote controls. After he switched on the TV, he handed them to Sara. She selected the program she wanted to watch.
They sat there on the couch watch TV, until they both fell asleep.
