It was a cold and stormy night. The temperature was
one of the coldest in Miami history, arising from a
brutal cold front that had moved in. The rain pounded
ferosciously against the windows but Calleigh stayed
warm and dry. She lay tangled up in Eric, totally
immersed in his big strong arms. He ran his fingers
through her long, silky, blonde hair and gently kissed
her neck. " I love you" he whispered softly to her. She
playfully ran her fingers along his muscular chest. " I
love you more" said Calleigh. " Oh yeah, well why
don't you just prove that officer Duquesne" said Eric
sexily. Things began to heat up. She flipped Eric
completely over onto his back and he moved his
hands down every curve of her body.
Calleigh began to passionately cover him in kisses
and eric returned the favor. They began to consume
each other with a fiery passion. Finally, they both
became sleepy. Eric put his arms around Calleigh
and they finally drifted of to sleep. The next morning
Calleigh woke up and noticed that Eric wasn't beside
her anymore. She put her robe on and went into the
kitchen. To her suprise Eric was making breakfast. "
Well don't you really know how to treat a lady" said
Calleigh Jokingly. She had startled Eric. " Geez
Calleigh, don't do that" said Eric. " Do what?" asked
Calleigh. " Never sneak up on a guy when he's in the
kitchen" said Eric smiling. Calleigh moved toward
him. " I'm sorry, you poor baby" said Calleigh
sarcastically.
" Apology accepted, now I believe that I haven't said
a proper good morning to you yet" said Eric, trying to
be cute. He pulled her into a kiss. " Right back at
you" said Calleigh pulling him in for another kiss. "
We'll why don't we eat before we have a repeat of
last night and end up being late for work" said Eric
grinning. " Is that such a bad thing" said Calleigh as
Eric pulled out her chair for her and they both sat
down to eat their breakfast. Then Calleigh went to go
take a shower. She grabbed a pair of grey dress
pants a purple tanktop and a grey jacket and layed
them out on her bed. Then she walked into the
bathroom and turned on the water. She untied her
robe and stepped into the shower.
Eric finished cleaning up the kitchen and went into
the bathroom. He knocked on the shower. Calleigh
slid the door open. " Mind if I join you?" he asked. "
Not at all" said Calleigh. Eric pulled off his sweat
pants and boxers and stepped into the
stood behind Calleigh and gently massaged her
shoulders. " Um, that feels so good" said Calleigh. "
Well you deserve it" said Eric. They showered for
about 20 more minutes and then Calleigh grabbed
her towel and tossed Eric one. They wrapped the
towels around themselves and began to get ready for
work. She plugged in her blow dryer and began to
dry her hair and then brushed it. She applied her
make-up and put on her jewelery.
Then she and Eric got dressed, grabbed their guns
and badges from the night stand, and headed to
work. When they got there Horatio called Eric into his
office and Calleigh headed to the Ballistics lab."
What's up H?" asked Eric. " Eric could you shut the
door please" said Horatio. Eric shut the door and
Horatio began to divulge the situation. " I just got
word about a prison break" said Horatio. " Anyone we
know?" asked Eric. " I'm afraid so" said Horatio. "
Seth McAdams was one of the men that escaped"
said Horatio. Eric became angry, and afraid for
Calleighs' safety, at the same time. " Shouldn't we
tell Calleigh?" asked Eric.
" I didn't want to worry her, but I suppose we should"
said Horatio. Eric started to leave to go tell Calleigh.
" Eric I want you look out for her" said Horatio. "
Always H" said Eric. Eric left Horatio's office and
made his way to the ballistics lab. Calleigh was test
firing a gun from one of their open cases. He walked
in the door just as she had finished. " Hey Cal" said
Eric. " Hey Eric." " What did Horatio want to talk to
you about?" asked Calleigh.
" You may want to sit down for this, Cal" he said.
" Eric your scaring me, what's going on?" asked
Calleigh nervously. They sat down on a bench.
" There was a prison break" said Eric." Seth
McAdams escaped" said Eric. Calleigh's face turned
a ghostly white. Calleigh felt the bile start to rise up
in her throat. She jumped up from the bench and
quickly made her way to the bathroom. She pushed
one of the stall doors open and bent over the the
toilet. Natalia, who was walking by the bathroom at
that moment, heard the awful noise, and went in to
see who it was. When she saw that it was Calleigh,
she bent down beside her.
She helped her hold her hair. Calleigh started
shaking and breathing heavy. " Calleigh, take it easy,
just calm down" said Natalia rubbing her back in a
comforting and calming motion. After about five
minutes Calleigh calmed down. Natalia got Calleigh a
wet paper towel and put it to her forehead and got
her some water, which she hastily drank. " What
happened Calleigh?" asked Natalia. " I don't know,
one minute I'm fine, the next I'm puking my guts out
" said Calleigh.
" I mean the news Eric just told me wasn't the
greatest in the world, but I'm pretty sure that's not
what made me sick " said Calleigh. She thought for a
minute. Then the realization hit her. " Oh My God,
Nat I'm late " said Calleigh. Natalia suddenly realized
what Calleigh had meant by " Late. " " I've been
feeling ill alot lately; I should have put two and two
together " said Calleigh. " Now hold on Cal, there's
no sense in jumping to conclusions " said Natalia. "
But it makes perfect sense; the nasuea, the fatigue,
everything " said Calleigh.
" Well I think you should be completely sure, before
you totally freak out " said Natalia. " Nat, could
you..." Calleigh started. " Hey say no more, I'm on it
" said Natalia. " Thanks, I owe you " said Calleigh.
Natalia, headed out. On her way to leave, she ran
into Ryan. " Where are you off to in such a hurry ?"
inquired Ryan. She had to think of something fast. " I
have to run a quick errand " said Natalia. " An errand
huh " he said. " Ryan I really don't have time for this
" said Natalia. " Okay, but hurry back, because I'm
not going through all the evidence by myself " he
said. With a nod of the head and a less than
satisfactory " yeah" Natalia made her way out of the
lab to her car.
She drove to the nearest pharmacy and purchased a
pregnancy test for Calleigh. She arrived back at the
lab in roughly ten minutes. Natalia slipped the test
into her pocket, because the last thing she needed
was to arouse suspiscion and curiousity. She saw
Eric leaning against the wall outside the bathroom.
Oh crap, she thought to herself. She was hoping that
Eric wouldn't stop her to chat, but no such luck. "
Hey Nat, if you see Calleigh in there, will you make
sure she's okay " said Eric. " Sure Eric " she said,
and before he could ask her any more questions, she
rushed into the bathroom.
" Cal, you still in here " whispered Natalia. " Yeah "
said Calleigh. Natalia walked over to the last stall and
slid the test under to Calleigh. " Nat, will you stay
with me, please ?" asked Calleigh. " No, problem "
she said. Calleigh did what she had to do. She put
the toilet lid down and set the test on top of the toilet
paper dispenser. Now all she could do was sit and
wait. " Hey I saw Eric waiting outside the bathroom;
he seems really concerned about you " said Natalia.
Calleigh became somewhat worried.
" You didn't... he didn't... " Calleigh started.
Natalia, understanding what she was asking, replied.
" No, of course not; I was very careful " said Natalia.
Calleigh breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, after what
felt like an eternity to Calleigh, the alarm on Natalia's
phone went off, signaling that the results would be
appearing.
