"Whoa! Was not expecting that!" Nick exclaimed, flashing a grin.
"Yeah, you guys want us to go back out knock this time?" Warrick added, sauntering over to give Sara a hug. "I'd ask how you are but by the looks of things I'm guessing that you're doing just fine." The brunette swatted him on the arm playfully and a shy smile broke out across her face.
"Yeah I'm sure Catherine can provide you with all you need to feel better." The Texan said.
Greg bounced over and stood next to Catherine, teasingly nudging her shoulder. "So, how sick do I have to be to get that kind of treatment?" He grinned mischievously and wiggled his eyebrows. Catherine just raised one of hers at him and tried to suppress her smile.
"You know Greggo I don't think you've got quite the right 'equipment'." Nick said, winking. Warrick laughed at Greg's bemused expression as the young lab rat caught up with the joke.
"So, children are we quite finished with the teasing?" Cath asked, subconsciously running a hand through Sara's tresses as she spoke. The boys smiled at her.
"Aw, c'mon Cath, you know that's never gonna happen. I mean; we haven't had gossip of this calibre since Hodges let slip that he's a virgin. You've got your fun," Nick gestured to Sara, who stuck her tongue out at him, "this is ours." Cath waved a hand at him, relenting, and changed tack.
"Any news on when my house will be returned to me? Preferably without blood on the carpet?"
"It's a pretty clear cut case, a week at most. Now stop changing to subject. How long has this been going on?" Sara and Catherine exchanged glances.
"Pretty much since Sara turned superwoman and saved my little girl." She bent down and placed a kiss on Sara's head, while the brunette smiled.
"It's just a ploy so I don't sue her." She joked, to which Catherine swatted her arm before snuggling against her side. The boys watched them interact and smiled warmly.
"Well, we just came by to see how you're doing and clearly you're fine so we'll leave you two love birds to it."
"But behave yourselves; this is a hospital you know." Warrick added, patting Sara's leg as they made their way to the door.
"But I wanna stay and watch." Greg wined as the boys dragged him out by his sleeves. The last thing they saw of them was Greggo waving frantically through the window as he was pulled down the corridor. The girls laughed softly.
"Well," Catherine said smiling down at her sleepy girlfriend, "that was easy. Now the difficult bit…"
They locked eyes "…Grissom."
