A/N: This may be an abrupt ending but, my inspiration seems to have gone. This started out as a one shot and like many of my fics ended up as an epic. Thank you to everyone who has stuck with it and to everyone who has reviewed.

"Hey Sara are you coming?" Nick stuck his head in the door of the lab that Sara and Warrick were in processing.

"Is it that time already?" Sara glanced at her watch.

"Going somewhere?" Warrick asked.

"I'll be back in a couple hours." Sara assured him.

"Where exactly are you going?"

"It's the kids first day at school." Nick explained.

"School." Warrick repeated. "Time really does fly."

"Tell me about it."

"Next thing you'll know you'll be trying to keep the boys away from Lizzie and worrying about Ben knocking up a girl."

"Gee thanks Warrick." Sara swatted his arm. "Some uncle you make."

"Hey you know they love me."

"I know." Sara sighed. "Let's go."

Nick was already ruminating Warrick's comment.

"Nick?" Sara said when he didn't move. "Hey cowboy." She waved a hand in front of his face to get his attention.

"Huh?" He shook out of it.

"Time to go." Sara told him.

"What?"

"We have two little people at home who have to go to school." Sara reminded him.

"Right."

"Mommy!" Lizzie ran up to Sara as she came in the door.

"Hey baby." Sara swept her up into her arms.

"Hey Daddy." Lizzie smiled at her father.

"Hey honey." Nick kissed her forehead. "Where's your brother?"

"Trying to do up his shoelaces." Lizzie replied.

"Have you had breakfast yet?" Sara inquired.

"Mrs Gusten is going to make us pancakes." Lizzie told her excitedly.

"Mommy! Daddy!." Ben ran out of their room to join them.

"Hey squirt." Nick picked him up.

"Morning Mary." Sara smiled at her when she followed.

"Morning." Mary replied.

"Did they behave themselves?"

"Didn't hear a peep out of them until about half an hour ago." She replied. "They need to brush their teeth before breakfast. I was going to make pancakes."

"You heard Mrs Gusten go and brush your teeth." Sara said setting Lizzie down Nick followed suit with Ben. Once they ran to the bathroom. "I'll go and make their lunches."

Sara swiped a tear from her cheek as she watched them run into their class.

"Hey they'll be okay." Nick assured her.

"I know." Sara replied.

"They'll call us if there is a problem and we can come and pick them up in a few hours."

"I know. We did well with them."

"Well they can read, write their names and count to a hundred. I think we did fine." Nick kissed her forehead.

"Okay, let's go back to work that will distract me for a few hours."

"After you darlin'."
