Calleigh smiled as she felt those all to familiar lips on her neck. "Good morning."
"Good morning."
Calleigh's smile widened as she rolled over to meet a pair of deep chocolate brown eyes. "We don't have to go in today do we?"
"Well..." started Speed. "We could call in but I don't think H wants to spend the whole day with just Delko. Besides what's a day at the lab without bullet girl?"
Calleigh sat up and kissed Tim lightly. "And who would be able to analyze trace so fast?"
"Exactly so we better get going."
Calleigh groaned. "All right, you make the coffee I'll start the shower."
"I think the coffee can wait."
Calleigh smiled. "I like the way you think."

"So, where does this leave us?" asked Calleigh as she and Tim talked in the ballistics lab.
"Nowhere." Tim sighed. Calleigh glared at him. "What? I only speak the truth." Calleigh rolled her eyes and before she knew it she was being pushed gently into the counter. "What's going on with you?"
"Nothing...its just...my dad."
Tim sighed. He knew that Calleigh loved her father. And he knew that his father in law loved her, but he always put his problems on Calleigh and that didn't sit too well with Tim. "What did he do now?"
Calleigh shook her head. "Nothing...its just, if it's not money he wants, then it's for me to come pick him up at the bar and... Tim I'm just done with it... I can't handle it anymore."
"Then stop answering his calls Cal."
"Well Tim he is my father. And besides if I do that then he'll just come here and I don't need that. I just don't know what to do."
Tim sighed and pulled his wife to him. "Cal...you know I love you, right?"
"Yeah."
"Just don't worry about it sweetheart, it'll all work out."
"That's easy for you to say he's not your father."
"Hey if you want a contest about whose father is better, then let's go. Because mine isn't too great either."
"I like your dad. He's nice."
"Yeah, nice to you."
"Aww...Timmy's just jealous because he's not daddy's favorite." said Calleigh in a baby voice.
Tim glared at her. "You know if you weren't so hot I'd divorce you."
Calleigh laughed. "Ohhhh...is that the only reason you keep me around?"
"Well that and other things."
Calleigh laughed. "Heel boy...we'll have plenty of time for that later."
Tim smiled. "Now that's why I married you." Calleigh's eyes went wide and Tim snickered.

"Hey Calleigh!"
Calleigh turned mid step. "Hey Sam,what's up?"
"I got that substance analyzed for you."
"Oh great, what is it?"
"Proplyene Glycol."
"That's used in skin lotion isn't it?" Sam nodded. "Ok great. Thanks Sam, you are the master of Trace."
Sam smiled "Just don't let your husband hear that."
Calleigh startedto say something, but was cut off by an all too familiar voice. "You may be good at trace young man but no one can compare to my little lambchop when it comes to bullets."
Calleigh sighed, turned around slowly and plastered a fake smile on her face. "Daddy hi." Calleigh moved forward and gave her father a hug. "What are you doin' here?"
"I just wanted to come by and see you."
Calleigh nodded. "Daddy what is it? You can tell me. What's wrong?"
"Nothing lambchop. I just wanted to come see you."
Calleigh nodded once again and folded her arms across her chest. "Dad..." Calleigh started to say something, but saw Tim walking towards her. Calleigh let out a relieved sigh. He always did know when to show up at the right
times. "Tim...hey."
Tim smiled and kissed Calleigh's cheek. "Mr. Duquesne nice to see you again."
"Tim...I can see that you're keeping my little lambchop happy."
Tim smiled lightly and wrapped his arms around Calleigh's waist. Kenwall nodded, getting the message. "Yeah, well I'll see you two later. Like I said, I just wanted to come and say hi."
Calleigh nodded and watched as her father got into the elevator and left.
"What was that all about?" Tim asked.
Calleigh rubbed her hand over her face. "I have no idea. I have a feeling he wanted something, but then you came along...and he couldn't ask." Tim nodded.
"So is it a good thing I came and saved you?"
"Yes; it's a very good thing."
TBC...maybe let me know what you think in a review and we'll see.
