Chapter 2

Now here I am again, after three years, in a hospital room but in a different situation. Yesterday, I gave birth to a beautiful, health girl named Rebecca and looking at her in her father's arms, in Eric arms, makes me feel completely in so many ways that words can't describes. He was so happy, so in love with her; the sparkle in his eyes tells everything, she's already dad's little girl. I remember the night I told him I was pregnant, he exploded with happiness and the next morning he spread the news on the lab so excited like a little boy after getting the so wanted toy… and he still surprised me everyday. The last time I saw him like this was in our wedding, one year ago, when we're saying our vowels; the excitement, the joy, the happiness…

Flashback…

Wedding day…

She remembered that day, she was so nervous … almost everything was a blur except for him, standing up waiting for her. She only had eyes for him…and looking at him was a vision from heaven, was looking at herself, she was him and no more Calleigh Duquesne. Then the minister started…

"Dearly beloved. We are gathered here today to celebrate the wedding of Eric Delko and Calleigh Duquesne. This is a sacred right. An ancient right. As Calleigh and Eric prepare to join their lives, it is important to understand that everyone present has played a part in shaping their lives. And, will continue to play a vital role in their continuing future. And thus, we are here not only to witness their vows to each other, but to bestow upon them our blessing. And, now the couple will read their vows…"

She thought that she couldn't be more nervous than when she entered on the church but right now, in this particularly moment, she was terrified… her vow.

"You know how good with this kind of thing I am … not, right??" she smiles asking him, trying to chill out "ok…uhm… We started as co-workers and than our boundaries were getting thigh and we became best friends. For seven years we shared this amazing friendship and until this morning we were two persons… from now on we start our lives as lovers, as only one. There's no two persons anymore but one. One that will laugh, one that will cries, one that will fight for what ever it takes, one soul in two bodies; one that will be there for each other, no matter what.

So in front of everybody here, today, I give to you, Eric Delko, my loyalty, my respect, admiration, my life knowing that you already have my heart and soul; and all I can say to you is I Love You and I always will from the rest of my life.

Today I start a new story in my life, a new life… life with you and someday life with us as a family." she was surprised with herself, she wasn't a person that open her feelings in front of everybody but today was different; today she felt the necessity of doing this. She was lost in his eyes…completely lost in his love for her.

Then was his time and with tears in his eyes, he started…

"Today's the day my life begins. All my life I've been just me. Just a smart mouth kid. Today I become a man. Today I become a husband. Today I become accountable to someone other than myself. Today I become accountable to you. To our future. To all the possibilities that a marriage has to offer. Together, no matter what happens, I'll be ready. For anything. For everything. To take on life, to take on love. To take on possibility and responsibility. Today Calleigh Delko, our life together begins. And I for one can't wait."

" I love you." Calleigh whisper leaning to kisses him.

" Ahem, not yet!" the minister stop her,

"Hurry up!" Eric said excited to kiss now his wife and extracting some laughs from the guest

"By the power vested in me, by God and the state of Miami, I now pronounce you husband and wife."

"Now?" Eric asked

"Now" the minister answered.

"Look who is awake…hey princess…" he talked taking his little girl and breaking her thoughts "… mommy's over there…" he said smiling ear to ear. He bent down to Calleigh and kisses her " Hey babe, how are you feeling?"

"Wonderful…" she kisses him back "how is the new and most handsome daddy on Miami ?"

"…proud of his wife, amazed with his little daughter and pretty happy…" sitting beside her in the bed. "…I think someone is hungry" he said giving Rebecca to be feed by Calleigh. She took in her arms and started breastfeeding while Eric observed her, so natural, so comfortable in her mothers skills and realize how much blessed he was.

Calleigh was never happier than she is right now; Horatio had give Eric one month to stay home with them and having him around was wonderful. He helps her with everything and she loved seeing him so into this; since the beginning she knew he would be a great dad. Looking back to her life right now, her kid dream of having a perfect family… maybe fairytale don't exist at all but a life with Eric exist, was real and she was living. He was her life… he was hers and she was him… now they were her life.

You are my ego, you are my soul

You are my heaven, my hell, you are my calm

You are my everything, my anything

My one, you are my lover

You are my world, you are my power

You are my life, you are I in Myself.

In front of so many things that went wrong in her life, she was thankful for… because of them, she went to Miami and meet Eric. This makes her learn that she could always take good things from bad ones and the best thing that ever happen to her was having this… You in Me.
