New investigations

I tell you Griss and Sara had Cath over for breakfast, and you know what that means" Nick quietly said to Greg just before Warrick entered the room. "And what exactly does that mean?" Warrick asked.

"You know whenever someone goes to breakfast at their house it means they have a secret man" Nick stated. "I wonder what it could be?" he began to think to himself as he finished his lunch.

Nick was certain the couple had a secret and was determined to find out what it was. Two days later he got his chance. Sara was crouched over a piece of evidence inspecting it when Nick came into the room. He leaned over her shoulder and peaked at what she was doing.

"Can I help you Nick?" she asked quietly.

"No, I was just seeing what you were doing" he responded.

"This is just some evidence from an old case. I thought I would go over it until we got some new cases in. Want to take a look, a fresh pair of eyes couldn't hurt."

"Sure" he said. He was so wrapped up in looking through the evidence he didn't notice Grissom come in.

He spotted something on the shirt he was looking at and glanced up to ask Sara if she had seen it when he noticed Grissom come up behind Sara and wrap his arms around her. He whispered something in her ear and she smiled widely.

He cleared his throat and the two separated, Grissom turned slightly red before nodding his head at Nick and leaving the room. "What, may I ask, was that all about?" Sara went to say something and he held up his hand, "nevermind, I don't think I want to know."

Sara just shrugged her shoulders and went back to processing evidence. About ten minutes of silence Sara suddenly bolted from the room, running. Nick looked up just in time to see her retreating back with a shocked look.

She returned to the room ten minutes later with no indication of what had just happened and took off right where she had left off. A minute later Grissom showed up again, only this time he was holding a ginger ale and a package of crackers.

Sara smiled up at him and took what the food. He whispered something in her ear and she laughed and nodded her head. Nick was pretty sure what was going on and was having a difficult time trying to hide the curiosity bubbling at the surface of his mind.

Sara took her snack out to the hall and finished it then came back in and began processing once again. "So Nick, did you find anything new?" Nick told her about the evidence he found on the shirt and she seemed excited about it then her face fell slightly.

"Can you take this to trace for me? I'm…going to start packing this stuff up for the day." And she began to just that.

"I can pack this stuff up if you want to take this to trace?" he said with raised eyebrows. She just shook her head saying it was ok. "Have Hodges page me when the results are in, I'll be in Griss's office." She finished packing the stuff and headed towards evidence lockup.

Nick shook his head and headed towards trace. He decided to have Hodges contact him instead to give him another reason to go near Sara. Two hours later and Hodges finally got the results back to him and he headed for Grissom's office.

He could hear a muted conversation going on and hung back a moment to see what the two inhabitants of the office were talking about. "But Gil, I can wear a mask. The fumes aren't that bad, I only got sick once." He heard Sara say in almost a whine Sara whinning!

"Do you really want to take that chance, your due in five months and the chemicals could be detrimental to the baby" Grissom responded.

Nick took that chance to walk into the office, acting like he had heard nothing and Sara and Grissom stopped talking. "I have those results for you Sara, hey Griss." He said handing Sara the results.

Her demeanor went from slight anger to one of elation when she saw the results. "Thanks Nick" she said before going to leave the office. "Oh, by the way" he said before she got out of the door, "I know of a book that lists all the chemicals that are detrimental to expecting moms and their unborn children if you want it"

Sara froze in the door way and Grissom chuckled lightly. "You know Nicky, its unpolite to eavesdrop" Grissom said.

"Yeah I know, congratulations. So…what's for breakfast, I'm starving!" Both Sara and Grissom just laughed.
