Author: Jaxson K.
Pairing: Nick/Greg
Rating: PG (mostly for language)
Disclaimer: I own nothing!
Nick sat staring at the telephone. He was trying to get the nerve to call his mother, but he chickened out each time. He finally picked up the phone and dialed his parents' number. When his mother answered, Nick broke down. He finally regained his composure and tried to explain why he was calling.
“Mom, I need to talk to you about something, and I want you to hear me out before you say anything...”
“Nick, honey, what is it?”
“Mom, I'm gay. I've been living with Greg Sanders, and I wanted you to know...”
“Nicholas!”
“Wait,Mom...”
“No, YOU wait, son...I knew about this already...”
“WHAT?????”
“No need to yell, Nick. I'm telling you that I knew. Your father knows, too, and...”
“Dad knows???”
“Yes, Nick. Listen to me! We've known for a while now. We put it together a while back. I called about a month ago, and you weren't home. I spoke with Greg to leave a message. That's when I knew. I talked to your father, and we are okay with it.....”
“You talked to Greg?”
“Yes, Nick. I asked him to have you call me. Didn't he tell you?”
“Yes, ma'am, he told me. Why didn't you mention that you had figured things out?”
“I figured that if you wanted me to know that you would mention it in your own time.”
“Mom, I really wish I had known.....”
“Nick, it's alright. Now, what's really going on?”
“Mom, Greg and I are having problems right now. He thinks I want to keep him a secret because I haven't told the people we work with about us. I'm afraid of what they might think...”
“Nicholas, you really should be ashamed. I know you have always been private about certain things, and that's not necessarily a bad thing. But, is losing your boyfriend worth worrying about what co-workers think?”
“Mom, I don't know. I want Greg with me, but I don't want to lose the respect of my co-workers. I just don't know how they feel about homosexuality.”
“But, Nick, you would still be losing face if they find out that you have been lying. That wouldn't say much about your character, would it?”
“No, ma'am, I guess it wouldn't.....Mom, what should I do? I'm so confused!”
“Nicholas, you need to try and talk to your co-workers and get their reactions about this and once you do, you need to try and patch things up with Greg.”
“Do you think that will work, Mom?”
“Well, son, there's only one way to find out.”
“I guess you're right.....”
“Now, Nick, when are you bringing Mr. Sanders to the ranch?”
“I don't know, Mom...I'll have to see how things go, and go from there.”
“Well, just let me know, and we'll get something together. Also, don't wait so long to let me hear from you...”
“Yes, ma'am...Mom, I love you, and I'll talk to you soon.”
“I love you, too, son.....”
Nick hung up the phone in shock. He just could not believe that coming out to his parents would be that easy. Of course it helped that they had already figured it out. Nick thought about what his mother said about feeling out his co-workers. He knew how cops felt about the whole gay thing from his years of being a cop in Dallas. He just didn't know what the CSIs would say.....
To be continued.....

Date: 2011-01-14 05:22 am (UTC)Actually Nick's sexuality is almost a "non-issue" with the team, but Nick doesn't know that yet. After all this IS Nick, and for a CSI Level 3, he can be a bit dense sometimes...;)
Thanks for reading and commenting, and stay tuned.....Jaxson
