Hey Again, this is attempt number 2.

All the mistakes are mine, I've never been all that good with grammar and punctuation.

Thanks to everyone who supported the start of my last story and I hope you like this one just as much.

I don't own CSI:Miami or any of the characters, but I do own Phoebe :D

2 1/2 Years ago

Horatio watched as his fiancée slowly walked towards him. Today was the day. The day Calleigh Duquesne became his wife.

She was beautiful in the flowing white gown, a slight bump showing from her three month pregnant stomach. Her smile could light up a town as she approached, her hair cascaded over her shoulders in light curls, while the top was pulled back and held with sparkly hair pins. He watched as she gently kissed her fathers cheek and took a few extra steps towards him, he gently took her hand and smiled back at her. She was the most beautiful sight he'd ever seen.

He didn't listen to majority of the ceremony, always keeping his eyes on her. When his turn to speak came up he turned to her and took both of her hands;

"Calleigh, the moment I met you I was in love. Your smile, your personality, everything you are is everything I want and so much more. You made me the happiest man alive when you agreed to go out on a date with me, you made even happier when you agreed to marry me and you made me ecstatic when you told me you were pregnant" he smiled and wiped away the tear that slid down her cheek "I couldn't find a better mother for my child and a better woman to spend the rest of my life with, I promise to respect and protect you and tell you I love you everyday for the rest of my life and be the best husband and father I can be. I love you Calleigh Duquesne."

Calleigh smiled through the tears and gently lifted a hand to his cheek, this man was the most wonderful man she'd ever met. Most men liked the ditzy blond look but Horatio saw so much more in her. He saw her for who she was, a smart independent woman and that's why she loved him.

"Oh Horatio, every time I look at you my heart speeds up. I decided the day you asked me out on a date that it was the best day of my life, and then I changed my mind instead it was the day you asked me to move in with you, then it was the day you proposed to me and I really thought that was the best day of my life until I found out I was pregnant with your baby, honestly I can't pinpoint the best day of my life because everyday I spend with you are the best days of my life. I promise to be the best wife I can, I promise to love you with everything I am and I promise to be the best mother I can be. I love you Horatio Caine."

A small sob came from the crowd in the church and Horatio and Calleigh turned to see Alexx with a tissue to her face and Henry with his arm around her.

'Sorry' he mouthed and gently kissed his wife, smiling at the couple at the front. Calleigh let out a small giggle and turned to face Horatio again, looking in his eyes she could see the love he held for her and gave him a huge smile.

"Horatio Caine, do you take Calleigh Duquesne to be your lawfully wedded wife from this day forward. For better or worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, until death do you part?" The priest asked.

"I do" he smiled not taking her eyes off her.

"Calleigh Duquesne, do you take Horatio Caine to be your lawfully wedded husband from this day forward. For better or worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, until death do you part?"

"I do" she smiled in return.

While the priest closed the ceremony Horatio and Calleigh kept their eyes locked on each other until he told them to kiss. Horatio pulled Calleigh into his arms and crushed his lips against hers.

After photographs and food, the bride and groom had their first dance to 'She's More' by Andy Griggs. Horatio wrapped his arm around Calleigh's waist and took her tiny hand in his.

Smiling he moved to towards her ear "We're married" he whispered gently.

"I know" she smiled back.

"and may I say, you look beautiful". Calleigh looked down trying to hide the blush that crept into her cheeks. He gently moved his finger under chin and lifted her face back to his, brushing a gentle kiss to her lips.

Calleigh took a deep breath trying to control herself and then locked eyes with him, "Well Handsome, you don't look to bad yourself." She laid her head on his chest, and he responded by kissing her forehead and then resting his chin on top of her head.

"I love you Calleigh" he whispered and smiled as he thought of his future with her.

6 months later

"Push Calleigh" the doctor yelled.

Horatio stood at Callegh's side holding onto her hand as she dug her nails into his palm. She was sitting forward at the moment putting all her energy into pushing, Horatio whispering small encouraging words in her ear. After what felt like eternity for Calleigh, she finally flopped back against the bed, "I don't know...if I can push...anymore" she whispered her breathing coming out in small gasps.

"Breathe Sweetheart, It'll be over soon" he kissed her temple and gently moved her wet hair from her face.

"Easy...for you...to say" she panted.

"Okay Calleigh I can see the head, just one last big push" the doctor instructed.

Calleigh took in a deep breathe and pushed as hard as she could screaming as she leaned forward.

"That's it sweetheart almost there" he whispered in her ear. The pain in his hand as she dug her nails in didn't register to Horatio as he watched his baby lifted from under the sheet and placed on Calleigh's stomach.

"Congratulations, you have a beautiful baby girl" he doctor said happily, "Daddy do you wanna cut the cord?" he asked holding the scissors out to Horatio, he nodded and carefully cut where the doctor showed him.

The cries that came from the child were the most beautiful thing he had ever heard as he watched Calleigh stare at the little baby, "Look Calleigh you did it."

Calleigh smiled at the baby when she was suddenly taken away. "Horatio where they takin' her?" she whispered a little worried.

"Shh it's okay, they're gonna clean her up and make sure she's alright" Horatio smiled and placed a gentle kiss to her lips.

The doctor approached the smiling couple with a little pink bundle, "A healthy baby girl" the doctor announced when the couple turned to him. He gently placed the baby in Calleigh's arms.

"Thank you" she said with a small tear rolling down her cheek. "Horatio look at her" she whispered moving a small bit of the blanket away from the baby's face. "Hey little girl, I'm your mommy" and lifted the baby a little to look at Horatio "and there's your daddy." Calleigh smiled and started crying.

"Hey, what's wrong?" he asked concerned for his wife.

"I can't believe it" she whispered. "Look at what we did" she said kissing baby's head lightly.

"She's beautiful" he smiled, "just like her mother" he whispered putting his arm around his wife and brushed a gentle kiss to her temple.

Present (2 years later)

Horatio smiled at his sleeping wife as she cradled into his chest. It was only 6am, they didn't have to be awake yet but Horatio cherished these moments where he could just lie with his wife and think about all the good things in his life so far. He smiled as he looked down at his chest. There she was, their beautiful two year old daughter, Phoebe. Her blond hair messy from sleeping and sprawled over his chest. Phoebe may have gotten Calleigh's hair but she definitely had Horatio's piercing blue eyes, most people said it was her best feature. To them, their daughter was just beautiful.

Yes, Horatio appreciated these mornings were he could just think of all the good in his life.

TBC.
