Chapter 1-The Decision
It was a week after Calleigh had become engaged to Eric. Eric was still trying very hard to convince Calleigh to come back to Miami but she was still having none of it. She was sitting out on the terrace of her apartment overlooking the River Thames, when Eric brought her out a cup of green tea.
"Thanks sweetie." She said and gave him a peck on the lips.
Eric sat down and joined her with a cup of green tea too. They sat in silence for a while, taking in the smell of the sea and the fresh air that whipped against their faces.
"Cal.." Eric started, "Talk to me?"
"About what?" Calleigh replied, pretending she had no clue what he was talking about.
"Calleigh." He said looking at her with a 'you know what I'm talking about look.'
"Eric, I know they don't want me back. Sure, I know Natalia hates me, Horatio is really disappointed in me, Alex is disappointed in me, and Ryan probably thinks I'm a chicken cause I run away when the going gets tough."
"Well, Horatio and Alex don't hate you, they're worried about you. Horatio thinks of you as his daughter and Alex also thinks the same. Ryan misses you because you are one of his best mates and Natalia..well, Natalia has other priorities now, but I know that she wishes you were there to help her." Eric replied taking her hand.
"Oh," Calleigh said shocked, "What, em, what priorities does she have now?"
Eric shifted uneasily in his chair, He took out his Cell and hit a few buttons. He turned it around to face Calleigh, who gasped.
"Oh my God!" Calleigh said softly, tears forming in her eyes. "Sh..She has a..a..kid?"
"Yea," Eric replied softly, "She wanted to tell you herself when she eventually saw you again, and she didn't want me to tell you if you got in contact again, but I thought she should know. You know, the whole time she was pregnant, she only ever asked for you. She wanted you to be there with her. You know she is also engaged?"
"WHAT?" Calleigh asked in disbelief, "To who?"
"Ryan," Eric replied and smiled, "She and Ryan refuse to get married until you come back because they only want a family wedding as in H, me, you, Alex and Trip."
Calleigh felt her eyes welling up again.
"You see Calleigh, they do all REALLY miss you. They want you back because without you there, are family has a link missing and therefore is broken."
Calleigh couldn't hold her tears in any longer and she freely let them fall. Eric got up and hugged her from behind. She relaxed back into his embrace. He comforted her as she cried, and he kissed the top of her head and stroked her hair.
"Calleigh," he whispered softly in her ear, "Please come back to Miami."
After she stared out at the Thames one more time and after a lot of silence, she finally replied, "Okay."
