They lay there together, Eric was looking at a sleeping Calleigh taking in her beauty and feeling a since of relaxation for he first time in more than two weeks. It had been that long since the day they declared their love for one another and since Calleigh told Jake she was in love with someone else. Jake has not been around since that day but Eric cannot help but to look over his shoulder every time he here's something behind him. Eric knows that Jake is not going to give up that easy, he told Calleigh so. Calleigh was just as nervous as Eric was. He could see her tense every time she heard a man say her name. Eric did not like seeing Calleigh scared, he liked happy Calleigh. He lay there in her bed and watched her sleep, he watched her for about five more minutes before he noticed her slowly start to come out of her slumber. She opened her eyes and saw him; he noticed that she slowly became more comfortable and creased into his arms. She felt warm against his skin, she made him feel complete.

"What are you thinking about?" Calleigh questioned Eric's awkward silence.

"You, me, how happy I am with being here with you right now." Eric replied without taking his eyes off of her. He saw a smile slowly make its way on to her beautiful face. He loved to see her smile and would do anything to give her all smiles for the rest of her life. He knew though that right now as hard as he tried at home, he couldn't do it at work. They still hadn't told anyone at work and wasn't sure when they would do so. Eric knew though that a few people at work knew any way. Natalia of course, she had guessed it the day after the got together, when Eric came to the lab with a wide-eyed school boy grin on his face.

Flashback

Eric was walking into the Miami-Dade Crime Lab thinking about Calleigh and the night they had just shared together. He was paying absolutely no attention to his surroundings and walked straight into a coworker. Natalia Boa Vista, was not only a coworker she was an ex lover, and not only that, she was Calleigh's best friend. Calleigh knew what had happened between Natalia and himself but she also new that was long over, Natalia knew that to.

"Walk right into me Delko, I don't care." Natalia joked. It wasn't until after she said it though that she actually saw his face. This was the first time she had seen Eric Delko happy, I mean truly happy; that in its self made Natalia smile. What had been between her and Delko ended a long time ago and know she just wanted him happy. She knew that the only thing that would make Eric smile like that would be Calleigh Duquesne. Calleigh, that had to be who it was that had put that smile on Eric's face.

"Sorry Natalia, my mind is just not with me today." Eric stated, the whole time a smile across his face.

"Still at home with Calleigh?" Natalia questioned as she noticed Eric's eyes get huge. He had that deer in the headlights look and he had it bad. She stood there waiting for him to answer, noticing how uncomfortable he was about to get Natalia finished with,

"Don't worry Eric I am not going to say anything but if you don't want anyone to guess; you might want to wipe that smile off your face."

"Thanks Nat, I don't know what else to say." Eric looked at Natalia and she could tell he was truly great full. At the same time Natalia noticed someone else coming to join them. Calleigh was walking towards them, the whole time not taking her eyes off of Eric.

Natalia leaned in a little closer to Eric and whispered. "You might want to tell her the same thing about the smile."

"Hey guys, how is it going?" Calleigh asked as calmly she could. Natalia noticed the unsaid words between Eric and Calleigh and noticed it was time to go.

"I am good, but obviously not as good as the two of you," Natalia started to turn and walk away but finished with. "I am happy for you two, if two people deserve this it would have to be you guys." With that Natalia turned and headed towards DNA to help Valera with a case.

"What was that about?" Calleigh asked as her eyes beamed towards Eric's.

"Nothing," He replied, "She is just happy for us, I guess." With that said Eric looked into her eyes to say all the things he wasn't aloud to say to her at work.

Present Day

Calleigh looked into Eric's deep chocolate brown eyes and saw the hesitation, she knew that Jake hadn't been around since that day, but she also knew that Eric would looking over his shoulder every day until it was over. Calleigh saw something else in Eric's eyes to though. She knew he was thinking about something, and she knew it had to do with Jake.

Eric was thinking he had lost Calleigh to Jake before; he had to do something to keep her here, keep her with him. He just didn't know what it was. He wanted back what they had, he still loved her and he knew she still loved him. So what was the problem, well that's easy, his name is Jake Berkley, and Eric was going to take care of him once and for all.
