Chapter 6

5 months later

A United Van Lines truck was backed up to the house, the movers loading the last of the furniture and boxes in as Nick and Greg watched. Nick's truck, two horse trailer hitched to it, was ready gassed up and ready for the journey.

Nick was standing beside Greg, leaning into the slightly taller man, arms wrapped around Greg's waist.

"Not having second thoughts, are you, Nicky?" Greg asked gently, rubbing his hand over the other man's back.

"If anything has become glaringly obvious to me over the past year and a half, it's that I am not cut out for ranching! Give me a bloody crime scene to process any day!"

Greg laughed at Nick's aggrieved look. They had decided four months ago to move to Vegas. The head of the Vegas crime lab, Gil Grissom, had told Nick that if he changed his mind, the job was still his. Greg wasn't sure what he was going to do yet, as office romance was forbidden at the lab, but he knew that with his skills, he could find just about anything he wanted. He just hoped he could get the hours he wanted. With Nick working the graveyard shift, he wanted something comparable, so they would be able to spend their off times together.

The ranch had been sold, the cattle and the horses – except for Copper and Missy – had been sold, and they had bought a place on the outskirts of Vegas with enough land for Copper and Missy, and a nice house.

The door of the trailer box slammed closed with a clang, causing one of the horses in the horse trailer to whicker and stamp a hoof.

One of the movers walked over to let them know the moving van was ready to pull out, before going back to the moving van and climbing up in the cab with his partner.

Looking up at Greg adoringly, Nick said, "Let's go home!"

As Nick pulled the truck out on the dusty drive way one last time, Greg couldn't help but think that Fate was finally bringing them to where they were supposed to be.

A/N: Well, this is it! Hope you all liked it. Leave me a review to let me know. Can't get better if I don't know what I did wrong, and all that stuff. :)
