It had been a week since the incident, and Ryan was stressed as hell. He had spoken to his attorney, and she had told him that it would be particularly difficult to gain custody before the child's birth, but she told him that he should start collecting evidence now. Things like threats to the baby and to herself are definitely things a court will take into consideration when awarding custody.

"Ryan." oh god, not again!!!

Ryan was standing in the trace lab hunched over the desk with his back to the door, running some evidence Calleigh had just collected from the double homicide they were working on. The case was brutal. But, this case hit a little close to home, because, Macy Turner, and Consuela Marantos, were two of his ex girlfriends. He hadn't told anybody this, because it was along time ago, but what are the odds that they would both be killed together, because they didn't even know each other. And what was done to them was horrible. They had been kidnapped, raped with a metal rod( which they found left in the victims), been to within an inch of their lives, then stabbed through the ear with ice picks. Horatio was worried that this might be the work of a serial killer, and when H is worried, everyone is worried.

" Ryan ?" he thought if he ignored her she'd just go away. Right now, he felt like crap and didn't really want to fight with a pregnant lady.

"Ryan!" soon he was facing the door, a worried looking Alex and a frightened looking Calleigh. Thank god it wasn't her.

" Damn it, Ryan!! We have been searching this place high and low for you, why have you been hiding today?" said Alex in a scolding tone.

" Forget all day, its been all week. What's wrong with you?" the words came out much softer than he thought they would, and he was suddenly compelled to tell them every little problem he's having right now. He needed some advice and Calleigh and Alex were definitely the ones to give it.

"Well… umm…I … well I need some advice." he rushed out.

" Sure baby, you know we are always here for you." came Alex's caring voice.

" why don't we got somewhere quite for lunch and you can tell us all about it." whispered Callleigh.

" Oh My God!!!! Ryan, your going to be a daddy!!!! Congratulations!!!" Calleigh shouted as she leapt from her chair into his lap for a big bear hug. He couldn't help but laugh at her enthusiasm. She somehow, always found a way to brighten his day.

"Yeah baby im proud of you." Alex's response was filled with pride. She had always been like a mother to him. " now im assuming you and the mother are no longer together. Is that what you need advice on, baby?"

" Well… yes and … no… you see I …well… I want sole custody of the baby. " he said in a rush, "I know she doesn't care for it the way that I do, and all I want is for my baby to grow up happy and healthy."

" How do you know that she wont raise a healthy baby, Ryan? A court wont award custody to you unless you can prove her an unfit mother." Calleigh was shocked by what he had said, but still not surprised. Even though he made a mistake, he is taking full responsibility, and now going above and beyond and wanting custody. Ryan is a good man, and this woman must be absolutely horrible to let go of someone like him. If she got the chance, she would never do something so stupid.

" I know she is an unfit mother, she threaten to kill the baby." he whispered worriedly.

"oh HELL no!!!!! this she- witch did NOT threaten to hurt my baby's baby. What kind of mother would do or even think of doing something like that?!"

" I don't know but, if it's the last thing I do, I will make sure that baby is safe, because I would do anything for the ones that I love." his statement held the essence of finality, and he was certain that he would do everything he could to win this baby.
