Paula- You haven't seen her since you heard have you.

Duke- No its just…. This wasn't suppose to happen this way.

Paula- She's doing great. Her belly is huge and she's in love, Plus having her brother around she acts like a little kid most days.

Duke- That's good to hear. Well I'm going to see if she can take Samantha to the airport for me,

In the break room the team was eating pizza. Calleigh, who couldn't eat anything without skittles, had this glow about her. Sami walked in.

Natalia- So Calleigh are you going to tell us what your having.

Eric- No we want it to be a surprise.

Calleigh- No you want it to be a surprise because you don't want to go shopping.

Sami (walks in) Yea well I don't blame him, you can shop for hours. That's gross Cal, skittles on your pizza.

Natalia- Yea well you think that's bad. You should have been at dinner last night. We had tacos and Calleigh thought they would taste better with skittles.

Ryan- Oh yea nothing like a little meat, cheese, lettuce, tomato and skittles.

Calleigh- What it was good. I offered but no one wanted any. (everyone was laughing) Sami what are you doing here don't you have a plane to catch.

Sami- Yea but….

Duke (walked in) Calleigh can I talk to you (she turned around and he saw her belly) out side for a second.

Calleigh- Yea sure no one touch my pizza.

Horatio- Don't worry we wont.

They laugh, Calleigh and her dad step into the hall. Sami goes to the window and peaks through the shades.

Ryan- Sami what are you doing.

Sami- Spying on daddy and Calleigh.

Natalia- Why

Sami- This is the first time daddy has seen or talked to Calleigh since she told him she was pregnant.

With that said Ryan, Eric and Natalia, all run over to peek through the blinds.

Horatio (clears his throat) Ladies and gentlemen take a seat. (Ryan, Eric and Natalia sit. Horatio grabs Sami's ponytail and gently tugs it) That goes for you to Sami.

~ In the hall ~

Calleigh- Hey daddy how have you been, its been a long time.

Duke (feeling uncomfortable) Yea, listen I was wondering if you could take Samantha to the airport. I would ask Jeff but he is in court and I have to be there in half and hour.

Calleigh- Yea sure (the baby kicks) Oh My dad feel the baby its kicking.

Calleigh takes his hand puts it on her stomach. Duke felt the baby kick, it brought tears to his eyes.

Duke (pulls his hand away trying to hide the fact the he was happy for his daughter) Yea, umm….. I'm going to say bye to Samantha.

The two of them walk back in the break room.

Duke- Hello everyone. Samantha, Cal is going to take your to the airport. Call me when you get home.

Sami- Ok daddy, I'll be back for Christmas.

Duke (hugs her) Alright I'm going to go.

Calleigh (was thinking hard about the choice she was about to make) Dad will you just talk to me.

Duke (knew he was making a BIG mistake) I… I cant Calleigh (he hadn't called her Calleigh in so long) look I have to be in court in 20 minutes.

Calleigh (sighs, tears filled her eyes) Dad you walk out that door leaving things this way between us (she looked at the ground and back up at her father rubbing her belly) Don't bother (crying) coming around to see your grandkid.

Duke (looked at everyone then back at Calleigh) I'm sorry. I just….. I just can support you in this. I have to go.

Duke walked out the door leaving his daughter in tears Calleigh stood their crying. Eric was hugging her. Ryan and Natalia tried to comfort her the best they could. Horatio was shocked, Sami looked at Calleigh, dropped her pizza and stormed out the door, leaving it open. Duke was waiting for the elevator.

Sami- Daddy wait a second, I want to talk you

Duke (hiding the fact that he was crying) What is it sweet pea.

Sami- Why did you walk out on her dad. She's just having a baby. Its not like she killed someone.

Duke- Samantha its….. You know what your to young to understand.

Sami (getting mad starts to yell) I might be too young, but what I do know is the last time Calleigh cried like that (pointing back to the break room) because of a guy, was when Jake Berkley beat her because she finished first in their class. You were there, you hated what he did to her and your doing the same.

Duke- Samantha lower your voice.

Sami (stops yelling) Fine, then tell me why you cant support her.

Duke- I remember that day Jake beat her like it was yesterday. Samantha, I wanted to kill him, but your sister she loved him so I just made sure they got separated.

Then he shows up in Miami and your sister let him in her life like nothing happened,

Sami- but that's the past dad.

Duke- They started dating, I supported her in that, but this her carrying his baby, I wont. Jake is trouble and I'm not going to sit back and watch him destroy my daughter and grandkid.

Sami- So that's why you walk out. Daddy Jake's not the father. She broke up with him when she found out she was in love with a great guy, who just so happens to love Calleigh and is the father.

Duke- I didn't know.

Sami- That's because you never gave her the chance to tell you. You walked out on her 3 months ago and never looked back.

Duke- Why didn't you tell me.

Sami- Its not my place.

Duke- Then why are you telling me now.

Sami (grabs her dad and turned him around so he could see Calleigh) That's why. Look at her dad. I saw her like that and it made me so mad. It brought me back to that day… you know what just go, hate for you to be late.

Sami walked back into the break room knowing that she had to do what she did to get her father to realize he was making a mistake. Duke got into the elevator thinking about what Sami just said to him. Sami watched as Calleigh's coworkers tried to comfort her. She saw that it wasn't working. Sami hated that another man broke her sister's heart but not just any man this time. This one was her father.

Sami- Come here Cal. (Calleigh walked to her sister and hugged her as Sami helped her sit) Don't cry its going to be ok. You don't need daddy, you have me, Jeff and Eric.

Calleigh sat on the couch in her sisters arms crying and she had fallen asleep. Frank and Jeff walked in. Jeff saw Calleigh laying in Sami's lap. She was sleeping with a tear stained face.

Jeff- What's the matter with Calleigh.

Eric (not knowing if he should say) umm….

Sami- Dad's an ass

Jeff (shocked cause she looked up to her dad) Samantha Duquesne

Sami- Well he is. Jeff can you take me to the airport. Cal was going to but I don't want to wake her.

Eric- I can take you

Jeff- are you sure.

Eric- Yea, its not a problem. I'm heading out that way. Come on Sami lets go.

Sami- But I still have 3 hours before the plane leaves and two hours before I have to be there.

Eric- There might be traffic.

Sami- Yea but you're a cop. You have sirens

Eric (looking around, everyone was waiting for him to say something. He picked up her bags) Would you just come on.

Eric and Sami left, the team went back to work leaving Calleigh asleep in the break room.

~ In the hummer ~

Sami- So Eric you want to tell me why we had to leave so early.

Eric (pulling into the parking lot of Jared's) I have to make a stop and I wanted your help

Sami- Why are we here (already knowing the answer)

Eric- I'm going to ask Calleigh to marry me and I want your help picking out the ring.

Sami- Two conditions.

Eric- What's that

Sami- First you call me after you ask her.

Eric- Deal, what's the second.

Sami- Don't ever hurt her like Jake did, or make her cry like daddy just did. You have to promise me that you'll take care of her, Eric. You have to keep her happy.

Eric- Deal. Sami I love your sister. I have since we started working together 7 years ago. Her happiness is all I care about

Eric and Sami go into Jared's and pick out a engagement ring. Then they head to the airport. Back at the lab Jake walked in the break room. Calleigh was still sleeping on the couch, then out of nowhere she started screaming.

Calleigh (sleeping) No Don't. Your hurting me stop. (starts crying in her sleep) Jeff make him stop get him off me.

Jake didn't know what he should do. If he woke her and she screamed some one would come running and he would get it. Calleigh got louder and louder. Horatio and Jeff were walking back to the break room when the heard Calleigh they started to run.

Calleigh (crying in her sleep) Jeff please make him stop. He's hurting me

Jeff and Horatio run in and Jake was sitting at the table eating. Calleigh was on the couch crying.

Jeff- What the hell did you do to her.

Jake- Nothing I just walked in and she started.

Horatio (was by the couch) Calleigh, honey wake up (gently shakes her) Your ok no one is going to hurt you. Come on wake up Calleigh.

Calleigh (shot straight up) JEFF (she was shaking and crying) JEFF WHERE ARE YOU?

Jeff (goes to Calleigh, Horatio moves out of the way) Its ok Cal, I'm right here

Calleigh (crying and shaking) He hurt me Jeff.

Jeff (hugging her) Who Calleigh, who hurt you.

Calleigh- he just walked out like he did with mom. I went with him because he needed me. So I went with him. Jeff when he needed me I was there and he just walks out when I need him. Why….. Why did he do that.

Jeff (wipes her eyes) Its ok Calleigh du… I mean dad, he's happy for you. Cal, its just you're his little girl and having a baby means your not his baby anymore. Don't worry when you need him he will be there. He always has, just give him some time.

Calleigh- I guess your right (stood up and noticed Jake was eating French fries) Umm… Jeff would you mind going to get me some fries.

Jake (trying to get on the teams good side) Here you can have these, I'm not going to finish them.

Calleigh (cleans her face) Thanks Jake (sits down and starts to eat) Hey where's Sami at Jeff, I have to take her to the airport in 30 minutes.

Jake- She and Delko left about 2 ½ hours ago.

Calleigh- Why so early.

Jeff- I have no clue. He was acting weird telling her they had to leave early so they didn't run into traffic.

Calleigh- Ok.

~ at the airport ~

Sami- Well Eric it was nice meeting you and I'm happy that your going to be my brother-in-law

Eric- She hasn't said yes. Yet

Sami- She will. I can tell that she loves you. I've seen the why she looks at you. So how are you going to ask her.

Eric- Well, I'm going to take her to dinner out on the beach, its all being set up right now. A candlelit dinner under the stars.

Sami (laughs) Don't forget the skittles.

Eric (laughs) I wont, then leading up to the table tulips.

Sami- She loves them.

Eric- I know. After we eat I'm going to take her for a walk down the beach. My niece and her partner in crime are writing in the sand "Calleigh will you marry me"

Sami- Awe that's so sweet, I wish I didn't have to go back tonight I would love to see her reaction.

Eric- You just might get to.

Sami- Why

Eric- I'm filming it from above and right on the beach. I want her to remember this night forever.

Sami- Wow I cant wait until I grow-up so I can find some one as sweet as you

The final call for Sami's flight was called.

Eric- Don't grow up to fast. Well that's your call, don't forget to call when you land.

Sami- I will (hugs him) Tell everyone at the lab I said bye. Oh and tell Ryan to practice his aiming and shooting. I'll be back around Christmas to kick his ass at target shooting again.

Eric (laughs) I'll tell him.

Sami gets on the plane. Eric heads back to the lab but makes a stop at the beach to check on his niece. Calleigh was down in the morgue with Alexx waiting for the bullet from the victim

Alexx (pulling out the bullet) So Calleigh, how are you feeling.

Calleigh- I'm tired all the time my feet hurt cause they are swollen, and I'm always having to go to the bathroom

Alexx- Yea, but in 4 months you will have a beautiful baby.

Calleigh- Yea, but that means I lose my brother.

Alexx- You loving having Jeff here don't you.

Calleigh- Yea, growing up we didn't see a lot of each other. My parents divorced when Sami was 2 years old. I went to live with dad, Jeff and Sami stayed with mom. The only time we were together after that was Thanksgiving and Christmas, so Sami had a family.

Alexx- Well Ms firearms here is your bullet.

Calleigh- Thank you Alexx. Looks like a .38 doesn't match the gun at the scene.

Calleigh was walking out the door, Alexx noticed she was wearing heels.

Alexx- Hey Cal

Calleigh (turns around) Yes Alexx

Alexx- If your feet are swollen then you should wear something other then heels.

Calleigh (laughed) Yea thanks, but I'm fine in these.

Calleigh left the morgue. She walked a few steps. Then she sat down and took off her shoes. Her pager went off. She got up and for got the heels. Alexx was walking to the break room. She found the shoes outside the morgue.

Alexx (to herself laughs) That girl, I swear she has pregnancy brain. I guess her feet hurt, but I see that she remember her skittles (picking up a loose skittle and throwing it away) I guess I should take her shoes to her.

~ In the lobby ~

Duke was the one that had Calleigh paged. Ryan and Natalia saw him and went to get Jeff, they didn't what him to upset Calleigh again. Before Jeff could get there Calleigh was already there.

Calleigh- Paula, you said someone was here for me.

Paula- Yea (points to her dad) its your dad.

Calleigh- Dad

Duke- Can I talk to you for a minute.

Jeff (walked to them) You know what Duke I don't think that's a good idea

Calleigh- Its fine Jeff. Do me a favor and give me a minute.

Jeff- Calleigh I really…..

Calleigh (screams which no one has ever heard her do. Eric walked in at that moment) Dam it Jeff, I said give me a minute.

Jeff (backs up, everyone was shocked) Ok Cal, but when he hurts you again, I'll be in the break room

Jeff, Horatio, Ryan, Natalia and Eric all go in to the break room,

Calleigh- Ok dad you have about 3 minutes to talk. I have to get back to work.

Duke- I want to say I'm sorry for just walking out like I did.

Calleigh- That hurt me so much dad

Duke- I know it did, its just that when you told me you were pregnant I was hurt.

Calleigh- Why dad? Did you think you were losing your little girl.

Duke- Well….

Calleigh- I'll always be your little girl daddy, even when I'm married.

Duke- That's thing. I thought Jake was the father. I couldn't stand for you to marry that man. I saw how much he hurt you and I didn't want to be around and watch him hurt my grandbaby.

Calleigh- He's not the father. Eric Delko is and I love him, and I'm pretty sure that he loves me

Duke- Yea Samantha told me.

Calleigh- That doesn't explain why you walked out this afternoon, or why you haven't called me in 3 months.

Duke- I didn't want to believe it, my little girl having a baby. When I felt it kick I knew it was real. Lamb chop, I want to be apart of that baby's life. I saw you crying and I don't ever what to be that one who makes you cry that hard. So how about it, can I be a grandpa.

Calleigh (crying) Yes daddy, I love you so much.

They stood out there hugging. In the break room the team was talking.

Horatio- Eric, have you talked to Marisol today.

Eric- Yea, she's at the beach with Marissa, Isabella, and Isabella's partner in crime

Horatio- I have been calling her all day and she hasn't answered.

Eric- That's because (trying to think of something because he didn't want them to know what he was planning) She umm….. She left her phone at Marissa's house.

Jeff- So Eric you want to tell us why you and Sami had to leave so early

Eric- Not today, I'll tell you tomorrow. Oh by the way Sami said bye to everyone. Ryan, she wanted me to tell you to practice your shooting or she's going to kick you ass again.

They all laugh as Calleigh walked in.

Calleigh- What's so funny

Jeff- Sami and Ryan's ongoing gun fight. How are things with you and Duke

Calleigh- We're good. Dad and I we're going to be just fine.

Eric (hugs her) That's good. Do you still want to go out tonight.

Calleigh (sits down) As long as I don't have to wear shoes. My feet are killing me.

Eric- We are just going to the beach so you can go barefooted.

Natalia (looking at her feet) Speaking of shoes, Calleigh where are yours.

Calleigh- Umm…. I uh….. (Alexx walked in)

Alexx (setting the shoes on the table) I made her take them off, before she fell.

Ryan- Its about time some one did.

Jeff (goes to the cabinet) I knew these would come in handy (handing the bag to Calleigh)

Calleigh- What is it.

Jeff- Flip-flops.

Calleigh- Thanks Jeff (putting them on) H, I think I'm done wearing heels until the baby comes.

Horatio- No argument here. Lets call it a day. See you all tomorrow.

They all went home. Horatio went to the beach to find Marisol. Jeff walked out with Calleigh, Eric and Ryan went out with Valera. Natalia was at her car.

~ In the parking lot ~

Eric- Calleigh, I'll pick you up in 20 minutes. (he droves off)

Natalia (trying to start her car) Come on start. (nothing) Dam it. I just replaced the battery.

Calleigh (saw Natalia trying to start her car) Hold on Jeff, I'll be right back. (she waddles to Natalia) What's the matter Nat

Natalia- My car wont start, I think the battery died.

Calleigh- Again didn't you just replace it.

Natalia- Yea but I didn't take it to Roberto's. So know He's coming with a tow truck and he's going to give me a ride home and bring it to the lab in the morning with a new battery.

Calleigh- Come on let Jeff take you home.

Natalia- No really I'm fine.

Jeff (pulls up behind her car) What's wrong.

Calleigh- Nat's battery died you can take her home right.

Jeff- Yea not a problem.

Natalia- That's not necessary. I have a tow truck coming, Roberto is going to drop me off,

Jeff- Who's that.

Calleigh- Eric's dad he has a car repair shop he fixes all the cars for the station.

Jeff (who has a crush on Natalia, and was relived that Roberto was not a boyfriend) Come on Natalia. I don't mind beats sitting out side alone. Besides you can join me for dinner, and watch the game.

Natalia (was blushing) Umm… well…. I …

Jeff- Come on don't make me spend another night alone while Calleigh is out.

Natalia (looks over at Calleigh who was mouthing the word "yes") Ok I guess I could, it would beat spending another fun filled night alone.

The three of them leave, they get to Calleigh's and Jeff's. Meanwhile across town Horatio was at the beach looking for Marisol

.~ At the beach ~

Horatio (saw Marisol putting up crime scene tape) Marisol, sweetie what are you doing.

Marisol (shocked to see him) Horatio what are you doing here.

Horatio- You missed lunch. Where did you get that crime scene tape.

Marisol- Well…. Umm…. Chief Burton brought it to me.

Horatio- What for.

Marisol- Since you're here I might as well tell you.

Horatio- Tell me what.

Marisol- Eric is asking Calleigh to marry him tonight. Isabella (Bella) and Carmen have been writing "Calleigh will you marry me" in the sand and it kept getting messed up. So I called Eric and he talked to the chief and that's when the chief brought the tape.

Horatio- That's sweet. I thought Eric was taking her to dinner at least that's what her told her.

Marisol- Yea, Marissa is setting that up. I'm just making sure that Bella and Carmen spell everything right and I'm in charge of the film,

Horatio- What do you mean film

Marisol- Eric is a hopeless romantic, anyway he wants her to remember this day so I ask me to film it a ground level from behind the bushes and Luke is filming it from sky level in the coast guard chopper.

Bella- Aunt Mari, we're done. I think we spelled it right this time.

Carmen- Yea well you know what they say. Third times a charm.

Marisol- Thanks girls. Your mom is getting some food. Uncle Eric wants you to stick around.

Bella- So when is he going to tell us the sex of the baby.

Horatio- The day Calleigh has it. Eric doesn't want to take her shopping.

Bella, Carmen- We'll take her shopping.

Marisol- Ok suppose that you do take her. How are you going to get your uncle to let you find out the sex of the baby.

Bella- Aunt Marisol in the last 15 years when was the last time Uncle Eric told me no.

Marisol- How about never.

Marissa (walks to them) Ok lets eat. Umm… Horatio what are you doing here.

Marisol- Its ok Rissa, Eric told him I was at the beach, knowing him he wanted a hummer here to go with the tape.

Marissa- Ok then. So Eric is at Calleigh's now. We can go get the dinner and come back.

They all leave and get some food and the order that Eric placed, and then the return to the beach.

~ At Calleigh's house ~

Jeff- So Nat, do you want pizza or Chinese.

Natalia (saw how beautiful Calleigh looked and then noticed the skittles she had) You look great Cal, Umm.. I don't care Jeff as long as they don't bring skittles.

Calleigh (eating her skittles) What's wrong with skittles.

Natalia- Well nothing but you'd think you would be sick of them by now (Eric was knocking at the door)

Calleigh- That's Eric can you get it Nat and I will never be sick of them

Natalia (answers the door) Hey.

Eric- Hey Ca… Natalia wait am I at the right house, I am a little nervous.

Natalia- Relax Delko. My battery died so I came home with Jeff. We are going to watch the game and order something that doesn't have skittles.

Calleigh (from the other room) I heard that.

Eric- Didn't you just have that battery put in.

Natalia- Yea but I didn't go to your dad's, but that's where it is now.

Eric- Should have gone there in the first place

Calleigh (walked out) You ready, I'm hungry.

Eric-Yes I am, good night guys.

Calleigh- yea have fun.

The two of them leave. Jeff and Natalia order some take out and watched the game. At the beach Eric and Calleigh finished eating and went for a stroll up the beach.

Calleigh- This was beautiful, the dinner and flowers I loved it (holding her flip-flops) and the cold sand feels great on my feet.

Eric- Its not over (they were getting close to the sand proposal he stepped in front of her) Do you trust,

Calleigh- I trust you with everything that I am.

Eric (taking her hands) I want you to close your eyes and trust me to lead you.

Calleigh (closes her eyes) Eric I will let you lead me anywhere as long as your there.

Eric took her by the hands and walked her to where Bella and Carmen wrote in the sand.

Eric- No peeking (standing in front of the sand, Bella and Carmen were lighting candles) Calleigh you know how much I love you.

Calleigh- Yes I do. Can I open my eyes yet

Eric- Not yet. The day I found out you were having my baby it made me the happiest person alive, I'll admit I was a little shocked and scared. (Calleigh giggled, which made Eric smile) I could listen to you laugh all day, every day. (Bella and Carmen lit the candles and then hid, Eric stepped behind Calleigh) Open your eyes.

Calleigh (opened her eyes she saw the ring box on a stool at the base of the words) Oh my God, Eric you….

Eric- Calleigh, I love you so much more then words can say. Everyday I see you I fall in love with you all over again. Calleigh will you marry me.
