Calleigh leaned back into the strong chest pressed up behind her and a set of arms wrapped around her.

"Good morning."

"Morning." Calleigh mumbled, closing her eyes as the lips that went with the arms kissed her neck. She rolled over and looked into a pair of dark eyes. Calleigh leaned over and kissed her husband as the phone rang. She leaned over him and answered it. "Hello?"

"Calleigh? It's Dr. Tanner."

"Oh hi. Uh... what's going on?" Calleigh listened and froze. "Um... really? Okay. Thank you."

She turned the phone off and felt tears spring into her eyes. She tried to push them away but they fell anyway.

"Baby, what's wrong?"

"That was Dr. Tanner." Calleigh whispered. "Eric, Tim's awake and um... he's asking for me."

"He... what? He said that there was no chance of him coming out of the coma." he said.

"I know. I have to go."

"Do you want me to come with you?"

"No. I'd... I'd rather you not. You understand right?"

"Yeah." Eric nodded, the shock plainly written on his face.

Calleigh entered the room and saw Alexx and Horatio were already there. Alexx walked over to her and smiled.

"You didn't say anything did you?" Calleigh asked quietly. Alexx shook her head.

"Where's Eric?"

"At home. I didn't want... I didn't want something being said."

"Oh. Hey Timmy, look who finally came." Alexx said. Tim looked over and his eyes locked with Calleigh's.

"Hi." she smiled weakly.

"We'll leave you two alone for a few minutes." Horatio said and he and Alexx left the room. Calleigh sat down and looked over Tim.

"How are you feeling?" she asked.

"Pretty good. How've you been?"

"Fine." Calleigh rubbed her eyes and saw the look on Tim's face. She quickly put her hand down.

"Well that's new." he finally said. "Or did you always have that? It doesn't look like the one I gave you. So there's a new guy huh?"

"He's not really new." Calleigh mumbled as the door opened. "Tim... I um... I married Eric."

Eric quickly stepped out of the room and leaned against the wall. Tim stared at Calleigh.

"You what?"

"I married Eric."

"Really..." Tim said slowly, thinking this all through. "So... do you always marry people from your work or are we just special?"

"Tim..."

"You know we had all worked together for so long I don't know what to think."

"Will you stop?" Calleigh asked, tears clouding her vision. "They said that you weren't going to wake up!"

"So I go into a coma and suddenly you fall in love with my best friend?"

"It wasn't like that!"

"Apparently it was or was it always that way? Was I never really that important? Was it always Eric? Then... 'Hey he's practically dead so, let's get married!'" Tim snapped angrily.

"This is why I didn't want to tell you." Calleigh muttered, wiping her cheeks.

"Oh no. I'm glad you did. At least this way, when I come out of here I won't act like an idiot trying to be with you. I hope you're very happy Calleigh."

She stood up and walked out. Eric pondered the thought of going in and yelling at Tim, but ran after Calleigh.

"Hey, honey, shh..." he pulled her into his arms and she cried into his shoulder.

"I feel so bad." she mumbled. Truth be told, Eric felt bad too.
