The Visitor From The University of Buffalo
Pairing: Speed and Calleigh
Tim's kid brother Kevin starts of winter break with a trip to Miami to visit his brother and sister-in-law. Both Tim and Kevin were never real close. Will they eventually make peace with each other for the sake of Tim and Calleigh's unborn child? Or will the brotherly grudges persist?
Disclaimer: I don't own Speed, Calleigh and the other CSI: Miami characters! Like I had said in my previous work, if I owned these characters, Speed would be alive and with Calleigh. However, I do own Kevin Speedle and his girlfriend Amber.

The Arrival at the Airport
Tim and Calleigh were given a day off from work. Cal had her doctor's appointment with good news about their unborn child. He or she was developing really well with no problems. They couldn't wait until they could find out the sex of the baby. They both wanted to have a little girl.
However, the next place they had to go was of mixed feelings for the two of them. They were on their way to Miami International Airport to pick up Tim's kid brother Kevin. For Calleigh, it was an opportunity to get to know her brother-in-law more and tell him about how his future niece or nephew was growing inside her. For Tim, it was a nuisance and a half. The 13 year age difference didn't help matters. Also, Tim was a nose in the book guy who wasn't close to Kevin growing up. Now the 18 year old young man and college freshman decided to spend part of his winter break in Miami.
"Cal, why did I agree to do this?" Tim asked. "We never really got along. Kevin started Kindergarten when I started at Columbia University. Now, he just finished his first semester at the University of Buffalo. I don't know if this was his idea or our parent's. Actually, I don't care whose idea it was, I just want the visit done and over with."
"Tim, I don't know why you and your brother never got along," Calleigh said. "I got along okay with my brothers."
"It is a very long story," Tim smirked. "At this point, I am in no mood to tell long stories. That goes for talking about how that little weasel and I never were close."
"I am so sorry," Calleigh said with great remorse.
They went to arrivals to wait for Kevin. It would be a while since the kid was waiting to claim his check baggage. Suddenly a young man looking like a slightly younger version of Tim, but with shoulder length ultra blue streaked hair and spiky bangs approached the waiting couple dragging a suitcase.
"Tim! Calleigh!" Kevin said letting go of the suitcase handle to hug his brother and sister-in-law. "How have you been!? I haven't seen the two of you since the 4th of July back in Syracuse!"
"I am glad to see you, too, bro!" Tim said between his teeth, attempting to grin and bare it. "Come on kiddo, let's go! There is a clean guest room waiting for you. How long are you going to be in Miami?"
"I'll be here for a week," Kevin said. "Then I go back to Syracuse and go with Amber to Montreal."
"Who is Amber?" Calleigh asked.
"She is my girlfriend," Kevin smiled while Tim tried hard not to get upset.
"Whoa, what happened to Rachel?" Tim asked.
"She dumped me for a jock," Kevin said. "She thought I was too punk for her. I don't want to talk about it."
"Nobody is saying you have to discuss it!" Tim snapped. "Here something I want to ask about your hair. Why did you decided on the blue streaks?"
"The color is ultra blue!" Kevin snapped back. "For a guy who graduated with honors from Columbia University and became a CSI, you are totally clueless on various shades of color."
"Ouch! That really hurts!" Tim sharply replied.
"Boys, cut it out!" Calleigh said angrily. "Let's go home! We are all exhausted from our journeys. Also, I am in no mood to fight."
The rest of the way was in total silence. Not even their cell phones rang nor their pagers went off. Tim drove with a slight look of anger in his face. He was hoping that the boss would call him and Calleigh on a new murder or rape investigation. Unfortunately, that was not to be.
