Tim groaned when the alarm went off. He sat up and turned it off. He looked over to find the bed empty. He sighed. It's been this way for the past 2 weeks. Ever since he said he didn't want children. He knew he'd get it as soon as the words left his mouth.
FLASHBACK----
Tim had worked late at work and Calleigh has made him his favorite dinner. Calleigh was sitting on the table. And let's just say she made a special visit to Arties. Tim walked into the kitchen completley shocked.
"Ok my birthday isn't for another month. What's all this for?"
"We've been married for 6 years now. Can't I just suprise my husband every once in a while."
Tim smiled and pulled Calleigh off the table. Looking at her up and down. "I see Artie made a few bucks today."
"Oh...I'd say more then a few bucks."
Tim eyed her. "What else did you buy?"
"You'll just have to wait and see."
Tim smiled and kissed Calleigh lightly. But Calleigh pushed him away lightly. "Later. Eat first."
"Always so demanding." After dinner and going upstairs Calleigh laid in Tim's arms.
"Tim..."
"Mmmm.."
"Do you want kids?"
Tim closed his eyes. "Um..."
Calleigh lifted her head from his chest. "You do want kids...right?"
"Well...Calleigh...our jobs are hectic we don't really have time for kids."
"Alexx has kids Tim...and her job his hectic."
"I know that-"
"You just don't want the responsibilty."
"Calleigh its not that."
Calleigh laughed lightly. "Yeah..right...whatever when you change your mind I'll be at Eric and Valera's."
"Calleigh your over reacting."
"No i'm not Tim. We've been married for 6 years now. Is it so wrong that I want kids."
And that was the last time he saw her. Well except for at work. And even then it wasn't so great.
PRESENT---
Tim sighed he quickly got out of bed, showered, shaved and went to work.

Tim walked into the breakroom to find Calleigh standing by the coffe machine. Tim walked over to her and kissed her on the cheek but Calleigh quickly pulled away and left the room. Tim sighed and sat down next to Alexx.
"Alexx...its been two weeks. And she still won't talk to me."
"Well Timmy...she's a women. And she just doesn't understand why you don't want kids."
"Its not that I don't want kids Alexx its just..."
"What Timmy?"
"I'm scared."
"Then tell her that Timmy. Chances are that she's just as scared as you are."
Alexx kissed his cheek lightly and walked out of the room.

Tim nodded and hung up his lab coat. "See ya later Delko."
"See ya man."

"So how are things with you and Calleigh?" asked Horatio on the way to the jewlery store.
Tim just glared at him.
"That bad huh?"
Tim nodded. "H...I don't know what to do. She won't talk to me."
"Have you tried talking to her?"
"No."
"Well maybe you should try."
Tim sighed as he got out of the hummer. "Well i've got plenty of time for that."

"This is CSI Caine we got a priority here I got man down shots fired." Horatio threw his phone down and took a hanckerchif from his suit jacket pocket and put it to Tim's mouth. "Speed...Speed."
"I can't feel anything..."
"I know...I know I understand but you just keep breathin..."
"Can't fight it."
"Yes you can you hear me. Speed...you have to. Do it for Calleigh...ok do it for Calleigh."
Tim shook his head. Tears coming out of his eyes. "I can...n't." Tim choked out.
"Speed...look at me." said Horatio as he held onto the back of Tim's head. "You just look at me and keep breathing ok."
Tim coughed sending little blood spatters onto Horatio's face. "Speed..."
Tim tried to stay awake. He fought so hard but his eyes just kept drooping. "SPEED!"
"Tell...Calleigh..I'm sorry."
"Speed you can tell her yourself."
Tim closed his eyes and his hand fell out of Horatio's. You know that they say your whole life flashes in front of your eyes when you die. I guess they were right. Tim saw a little girl giggling with dark pigtails. He saw a crib with a baby in it. He saw Calleigh with a swollen belly. He saw Horatio, Eric, Alexx, and Valera all sitting in a waiting room. He saw himself playing in the snow as a little kid with his brother. Tim tried to keep his eyes open. It looked nice and he wanted to stay so he could see it for real. But he couldn't help but close his eyes.
"Speed...no." Horatio voice caught as he leaned down to check for a heartbeat. Horatio eyes watered when he couldn't feel a heartbeat. He extended his right hand to close Speed's eyes. "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry."
Tim blinked a few times and then stood up. He looked over and saw Horatio with him and why was there blood on the floor? Tim jumped when he felt a hand go on his shoulder.
"This shouldn't have happend Timothy." Tim turned slightly.
"Dad?"
The man nodded. "It was to soon."
"What happend? Am I dead?"
James Speedle shook his head. "Techincally yes. But then again no...your not."
"What do you mean? Either I'm dead or i'm not."
"Well you can have a second chance if you want to. To have all those things you saw."
"A second chance?"
James nodded. "Do you want it?"
Tim looked down at him lying on the floor. He saw the paramedic's walk in and shove Horatio to the side. They took out the paddles and ripped open his shirt. They tried but he was gone. One paramedic turned to Horatio.
"I'm sorry." Horatio looked at the man with sad eyes and nodded slightly. Tim looked over as he heared a gasp.
"Calleigh..."
"No...Horatio."
Horatio tried to compose himself and walked over to her. "I'm so sorry. I couldn't...save him."
Calleigh just stood there looking at his lifeless body. The next thing she knew she felt strong arms going around her. "Come on Cal...i'll take you back to the lab." Calleigh leaned into Eric's embrace.
"Why didn't I talk to him Eric? He probably thinks I hate him."
"I could never hate you."
"They can't hear you Timmy."
Tim turned to his dad. "A second chance?"
James nodded. "Do you want to see what their life would be like without you?"
TBC...? HATE IT? LOVE IT? WANT TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS? LET ME KNOW IN A REVIEW PLEASE.
P.s. After this I swear no more Jewlery stores for Miami characters. Well...Ryan's a different story. lol. jj.
