I'm really sorry its been so long since an update. I've had serious writers block, yet this little chapter just all of a sudden came to me last night. I sat down for a long time and just wrote it. I really hope you like it.
Again, signals a flashback.

Chapter 3
After that first date, nothing had been the same between Nick and Sara. The flirtation between them increased and after a few embraces and kisses, they both knew they were falling in love.
Nick smiled as he remembered their first kiss. It had been amazing and everything he'd expected it to be; however, Greg had walked in on them.
Greg actually didn't seem that surprised. He acted hurt and went on to accuse me of cheating on him and said that he was crossing me and Sara off his Christmas list. He then left the locker room with a laugh and yelled something about me and Sara getting a room.
It seemed that after Greg knew about Nick and Sara, the whole lab knew as well. However, Nick was in love with her and he didn't really care who knew. This was the first time he'd really thought about spending forever with someone and it warmed his heart to know that she felt the same way.
"You know Sar, I appreciate you stocking the fridge with food, I really do, but now I can't find anything."
"Aw poor baby, what's wrong?" Sara asks with a giggle as she walks over to Nick, who is looking in the refrigerator.
"I can't find the beer."
Sara laughs and motions for Nick to move, and then bends down and takes out two beers. She hands him a beer and Nick grins. "You let a woman move in and they take right over."
She slaps him on the arm and says, "I haven't take over."
"Sar, I have food in my fridge, candles on my tables and women's underwear in my sock drawer. Trust me when I say this, you've taken me over."
She quirks an eyebrow and says, "Well you weren't complaining last night."
Nick gives Sara his most beautiful smile and she just melts. He captures her lips with his and everything else seems to disappear. Sara absent-mindedly begins to play with the hair on the back of his neck and giggles when he moves his kiss down to her neck.
The telephone rings and Sara laughs as she hears Nick let out a groan. She leans over and picks it up.
"Hello?"
"Hey Sara. Nick around?"
"Warrick, hey. Sure, Nick's right here." Nick gives her a quick kiss and then moves off of her and takes the phone.
"Hey man. What's up?"
Sara decides to give Nick some privacy, so she goes into their bedroom.
Nick ends the phone call with Warrick a few minutes later and goes in search of Sara. He walks into their bedroom and sees her settled into their bed.
"Tired?"
"A little," Sara says with a yawn. "You coming to bed?"
"Yeah," Nick says as strips down to his boxers.
Sara sits up against the pillows and smiles at Nick as he lies on his side.
"While you were talking to Warrick, I was thinking. I really don't know that much about your family and I'd like to."
He smiles and asks, "What would you like to know?"
"Everything."
Nick grins and sits up beside her, "Okay...Well I'm the youngest of seven kids. I've got one brother and five sisters..."
Sara interrupts and says, "FIVE sisters? So that's why you're so girly."
"Excuse me, but aren't you the one who wanted to know about my family?" He asks with a grin.
"Right. I'm shutting up now," Sara smiles and then makes a zipping motion across her lips.
"Good," Nick says with a smile. "As I was saying, Mike's 40, Lisa is 38, Michelle is 36, Gabby's 35 and Julie and Jill are 33. And three years later, I was born."
"Your mother had seven kids in ten years. That's amazing, but I hope you don't expect that many out of me."
"Not seven, huh? Six? Five maybe?" Nick's surprised that she's brought up children because they haven't discussed it, but he's happy when he hears her reply, "Try two or three."
"Well I guess I'll take what I can get."
She smiles again and asks, "So what were the holidays like? I bet it was great with such a large family."
Nick's face seems to light up, when she mentions the holidays. "Christmas was the greatest. We used to wake mom and dad up at like two in the morning, and dad would make us go back to bed until four. At four, we'd all get up and open presents and afterwards, we'd go to Grandma and Grandpa Stokes'. We'd have another Christmas and open presents at their house and mom and Grandma would make breakfast."
"It sounds wonderful."
"It was." Nick then let out a chuckle, "When I was five, mom and dad got us new bikes for Christmas. We were going to take them out that afternoon, so me, Michelle, Gabby, Jill and Julie all went upstairs to get our helmets and Mike and Lisa thought it would be funny to take mom's pads out of the bathroom cabinet and stick them on our knees and elbows. We thought we were being safe, but when we went downstairs mom tried to scold Mike and Lisa; however, her and dad ended up laughing at what they'd done to us."
"Oh my gosh, that's hilarious. Please tell me there are pictures."
"There are, and if you tell Warrick or Greg that I had those things stuck on me, I'll never kiss you again."
"Tell Warrick or Greg what?" Sara asks with a grin.
Nick grins too and asks, "So what's your family like?"
The grin fades from her face and she says, "There's not much to tell. I have an older brother, his name is Brian."
"What's he like?"
Sara's posture seems to change and she becomes tense, "He's an alcoholic. Nick, my family's nothing like yours. We barely had meals together and when we did, all we did was fight...I don't have many good memories of my family."
She looks like she's about to cry and Nick takes her face in his hands. "Baby its okay. We'll make our own memories."
She looks him in the eyes and asks, "You promise?"
"Yeah I promise."
Sara seems satisfied with this and smiles a little. "It's getting late, I guess we should go to sleep, huh?"
"Yeah baby."
Nick lies down in their bed and Sara snuggles up next to him. He cuddles into her back and kisses her cheek.
"Love you."
"I love you too Sara."
Their life had been good; however, it was no fairytale. Nick and Sara sometimes argued, and they both had bad habits that they disliked about each other.
Nick hated that Sara stole the blankets and snored, when she slept. And Sara was annoyed by Nick when he drank from the OJ carton and forgot to put the cap back on the toothpaste.
Also, they both hated how the other always thought they were right.
Nothing was perfect, yet their life was good for a while.
