Horatio got into his sons room. There was no light but the night light. He smiled and kissed each goodnight. He knew he had to spent more time with them, to play, swim or something else, to get to really know them. He knew it was too difficult for Marisol to handle 2 naughty sons and a baby girl. He was about to walk out of the room when he heard a voice.
.
A.- daddy? Did you find auntie Calleigh?
h.- no, son, we havent found her. But who told you...?
A.- uncle Eric has been sad all day and was on the phone with Nana and said you would find her.
H.- well, we're doing our best to bring her safe to your uncle.
A.- well, i hope you do it soon, we miss her – Aaron said turning in his bed and closing his eyes. He was so smart, Horatio thought.
.
Eric was in bed trying to sleep since Horatio and Marisol asked him to stay there. But he needed to find Calleigh. He knew that in some place his blondie was asking herself why hasnt he saved her already. But he knew Horatio was right and needed to rest. Although he couldnt stop thinking about Natalya. He took his phone out and called Ryan
Ry.- what's going on?
E.- how is she doing?
Ry.- she's still in the O.R. but it doesnt look good for her.
E.- how damaged is she?
Ry.- enough to stay unconsious for very long time or... maybe brain dead.
.
Eric gasped. He noticed Ryan's voice was broken, so he said good night and went to sleep. His precious blonde woman was there, in his dreams, hugging him tight, kissing him. He didnt feel his tears running down his face.
.
Calleigh opened her eyes slowly wishing she shouldnt. At the time she didnt care to be dead as soon as she could go out of there. She was suffering. She felt the pain all over her body. She realized her guardian was a woman, a very tiny woman who danced all day long.
.
?.- hey pretty, i brushed your hair while you were sleeping, you look gorgeous!. Well, now i'm gonna look for a great dress to fit you tomorrow, since we're gonna get visitors! Dont be sad sweetie, c'mon try to smile. Everything will be fine, i promise.
.
Calleigh didnt want to smile, not that she could, she didnt want to, she was unhappy, she wanted to close her eyes and never wake up. She wanted to be with Eric, next to Eric, in Eric's arms. She slowly closed her eyes again and fell asleep not feeling the tears.
