Couple: Nick & Greg
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I was in the car with Warrick, heading home.
"Hey, man, I wanted to apologize for Nick, he said that he's just been busy." I leaned back, Warrick had the next two days off and he was going to help me get some food in my house and move things around so that I could reach them. I was to still take it a little easy.
"Let me guess, you know about me and Nick's after work activities?" Warrick looked at me some.
"No, but the way you two have been acting since last year, I figured something was going on." I looked at him and gave him one of my famous grins.
"It was just casual, Warrick, nothing more and nothing less. Guessing your not homophobic!" He laughed at that.
"No, man, this is Vegas! I had friends in college that were gay and bi-sexual. We're still good friends, most of them were good at hoops." We got to the store and we got what I needed for back home. When we got home we started to put the things away.
"Maybe you should call Nick. He is worried about you. Greg, man. Even if it was casual, you two are friends. You know Nick, about showing feelings and all that, he just can't do it some times." I started to help put the things away.
"You know, if you noticed, I think that Sara and Catherine have as well. Not all that sure about Grissom, if it isn't science or bugs it's not in his sight." He nodded some as he put some things in the fridge.
"Yeah, Catherine and Sara suspect, we've been talking about it. We noticed sometimes how each of you look at each other. Nick spends a little less time with me and he says he goes to your place to play games. When I ask if I can come, he changes the subject." I nodded some and I smiled as I set some things on the counter.
"Well, don't tell Catherin or Sara since it's over. They'll start hounding on Nick for ignoring me. Warrick, if you want to tell Nick you knew, and I didn't lie to you when you asked, go for it. But don't get on to him because it was just casual." Warrick turned and looked at me.
"Greg, man, you two are friends. He still should have come and seen you. You know that you're more a part of the team than most of the lab rats. Well, you and Archie."
I stopped what I was doing! I didn't show any emotion, I didn't know, I'd really never thought of it that way, that they thought of me as one of the team. I mean the lab rats were a team of sorts. But they didn't really interact with the team, just me and Archie.
"Thanks, Warrick, that means a lot to me." We stood there for a moment and then went back to work and Warrick cleared his throat some.
"Greg, man, I am bi-sexual too. I tend to lean more towards females, but I have had some fun in college." I chocked on the drink I was drinking.
"Damn! You know, you were the one person I would not see this coming from, but, hey, that's cool man. Have you told Nick?" Warrick shook his head some.
"Truth be told, I didn't see him accepting it 'cause he's from Texas and he had mentioned a few times that his parents were not too hot about bi and gay people. He's been told once, by his old man, that if he was bi or gay he would be disowned." I nodded some.
"Yeah, he didn't ever tell me anything like that, but he has told me how old fashioned his parents are. Texas is one of those states where you never know if you should say hey look at me, I'm gay. Then you've got to figure out if you need to run or fight back." Warrick laughed some as he put some more things away.
"Yeah, that's my view of Texas as well. I hear so many people say that they have come so far in modern times, but there are something's that are still edged in stone!" We talked some more, when a knock on the door was heard, Warrick went to get it. I heard Warrick call out to me.
"Yo, man, look who showed up!" I turned around saw Nick.
"Yo, Nicky!" I went back to doing things in the kitchen. Nick walked in and started to help Warrick with what he was doing.
"What's up, Greg? I hear you're returning back to work tomorrow." I nodded some.
"Well, for about two weeks! I resigned from the lab." I moved to check the living room out and started to clean the trash up. Warrick and Nick both came in. Warrick was the first to speak.
"Wait, you resigned from the lab?" I shrugged.
"I sent an email from the hospital this morning, to Grissom's computer, and gave him my two week notice. Yeah, I am moving to Washington D.C., I've put in a few applications." Nick was still in shock but finally he managed to speak.
"We need you at the lab, Greg." Warrick looked to him, then to me.
"Greg, come on, you can't leave us! You're the best DNA tech we've ever had!" The phone rang and I pressed the button to put it on speaker as I was busy cleaning.
"Yo, Greg here." I heard the laugh I knew so well.
"This is Abby, what's up Greg? You are taking care of yourself aren't you? So I don't have to come down there and tie you to the bed and make you be a good boy?" I laughed some.
"Abby, you know I am always a good boy!" She grunted.
"Yeah, right, but how is that hot looking cowboy play toy of yours?" I froze as Warrick started to laugh.
"Well, he standing right next to me and he looks good to me!" I heard Abby chuckle.
"Well, do I finally get to hear the voice that turns Greg on so much?" Warrick pushed Nick softly.
"Nicky, the lady's talking to you, man." Nick looked at me.
"Hello." Abby grunted some.
"Well, he does have a sexy voice, but you've got to say more than that! What's your full name and tell me are you top or bottom?" I went beet red and Warrick was laughing hard.
"Well, me myself, I'm bi and I switch from bottom to top." I stared at Warrick as my mouth dropped open and Abby replied.
"You must be that hot chocolate god in Greg's pictures!" Abby going to get me killed! Warrick laughed softly.
"That's me and you sound like you're a beautiful woman yourself, Abby." That's when I heard who I figured was Gibbs.
"Abby, do you have those DNA results for me? And get back to work would ya? Stop chatting. Don't make me head slap you like I do Tony!" I heard her gasp.
"Gibbs, you would never hit me!" I smirked as the banter kept going, until I heard him say.
"Abby, hang up and come on. We've got a killer to catch." I smirked as the phone was hung up. I stood up.
"I think she didn't hang up, I think he did 'cause we would have got a goodbye!" Nick looked to Warrick.
"Rick, man, you sure you okay with me being Bi?" Warrick looked to him. "Yes, and the team would be too, if they ever found out. Nicky, this is Vegas, this isn't Texas and things are different here."
I let them talk. I wasn't listening now. I was glad that Warrick was accepting Nick, he needed that. He was scared of what people would think if they found out he was bi-sexual. But my God, they were not going to accept the fact that I am a man that is pregnant with Nick's child. I still had to figure out what I was going to do about the whole pregnancy thing! Warrick said his goodbyes, he had to head out. Nick & I said goodbye as he left.
