How did I ever let you slip away
Never knowing Id be singing thissong some day
And now I'm sinking, sinking to rise no more
Ever since you closed the door

Looking out the window by her lab, Calleigh couldn't help but look at her boss standing on the steps to the entrance to the Miami Dade Crime Lab. This was the same boss that not 8 months ago she was a friend with, but ever since her abduction, things turned sour. They never spoke to another, let alone were they in the same room. He refused to talk to her like his second in command; instead he talked to her like an outsider. Whenever he was out, he wouldn't leave her in charge, no, he would either get Eric or Speed to take command of the team. She felt like she worked 10 years to be treated like a newbie all over again.

Things really turned horrible about four months ago. She didn't think she did anything wrong to get Horatio mad at her, but with him, she didn't know anymore. He didn't consider her a friend anymore...

"I don't know what to do anymore Alexx, he wont even look at me when he hands out the case details" Calleigh told her friend

"Have you tried to talk to him?" she asked

"What is the point, he wont listen to me, he never does" Calleigh explained, "He is always there for the others, but he is never there for me"

"Maybe if you talk to him.."

"No!, If he is too busy to see that his second in command needs help with things, then I don't see how he got to where he is" yelled Calleigh, "He could care less if I was in the room, always talking to me like I'm a dumb fucking blond, maybe I should just fucking quit and go into prostitution, maybe that will be the only way for that ass of a boss to look at me"

Neither of the women noticed that the doors to the autopsy room had opened and there stood the one and only Horatio Caine. He had listened to what his second in command had told Alexx and couldn't help but be furious with her. He immediately walked into the room, strode over to where the girls were and grabbed Calleigh by her arm.

Alexx could only watch as Horatio grabbed her best friend and hauled her off the table, not caring that she had hit herself when he had grabbed her. She could see the look of horror on her friends face as she tried to get Horatio to let her arm go. As the doors closed to the room, all she heard was Calleigh cry out in pain.

He had dislocated her shoulder when he tried to make her follow him, but when she wouldn't, he had pulled her too hard and the rest is history. Today-four months later-they still refused to talk to one another, so to make it easier for all, Calleigh had transferred to nights. Now, she watches Horatio look towards the window that she occupies and waves. She refuses to wave back at her old boss, so instead she moves away from the window and goes back into her lab.

If I could turn, turn back the hands of time
Then my darlin you'd still be mine
If I could turn, turn back the hands of time
Then darlin you, you'd still be mine

He knew that she wouldn't wave back at him, why would she? He was the one that forced her to transfer to nights, well not forced; she decided that on her own. He was the one that hurt his friend. He didn't mean to grab her that hard, but his anger had gotten the best of him and before he had known anything was wrong, Calleigh was holding onto her right shoulder.

He heard Calleigh scream and Calleigh never screamed, never. Letting go of her arm, he watched as her left arm came to her right one and held in to her body. She looked at him with tears in her eyes, tears that Calleigh would usually never shed in front of someone. Her bottom lip was quivering and she looked flushed. He could tell that she was afraid of him.

Trying to move to her, he wasn't surprised when she moved away so that she was against the wall. She didn't want anything to do with him, let alone be near him. He had hurt her in more ways then any other man had.

"Calleigh?"

"No." Calleigh stopped his talking, "No, you- you stay-stay away"

Stepping closer to her, he tried to touch her, but was forced away when she hit his hand away with hers before going to her holster and pulling out her gun.

"Stay Away-from me!" she screamed before re-holstering her gun and pushing her way through the door and back into the autopsy room. Horatio heard Alexx ask Calleigh questions, but all he heard back from Calleigh were sobs. He had truly broken his ballistics experts heart and he knew it because his was broken too.

Funny, funny how time goes by
And blessings are missed in the wink of an eye
Why oh why oh why should one have to go on suffering
When every day I pray please come back to me

They used to be best friends, working cases together and laughing at whatever joke Eric or Speed threw their way. Times used to be fun, but after Tim had died and the new replacement-Ryan was transferred in, they separated. They didn't work as many cases together since she was training Ryan, but they tried to stay in touch, not figuratively either, they lived together back then. Happy times those days were.

"Stop it Horatio!" cried Calleigh

"Say the words Sweetheart"

"N-Never!" she continued to cry out as Horatio continued to tickle her, "Never!"

"Fine, then I wont stop"

"Fine! F-Fine! You were right!" she finally said to her boyfriend

As Horatio let Calleigh go, he leaned down and gave her a brief kiss on the lips before helping her up. He knew that she couldn't go on forever about who was smarter-men or women? In the end he had won.

"See that wasn't so hard now was it?" he asked her

"Whatever" Calleigh pouted, "You cheated"

"How?" Horatio asked

"You cheated by tickling me"

"You liked it"

"Whatever" Calleigh continued to pout

"Love you Sweetheart"

"Yeah Yeah, Love you too Handsome"

They once again kissed before taking one another's hands and walking up the stairs and into their bedroom together.

And you had enough love for the both of us
But I, I, I did you wrong, I admit I did
But now I'm facing the rest of my life alone, whoa

They were engaged to be married a few months ago, but Horatio broke it off when he dislocated Calleigh's shoulder. He didn't want to marry the love of his life when he knew that if he ever got mad, that he might take his anger out on her, like he did that day. He refused to talk to her, hoping that she would be mad at him long enough to actually find someone else to love. Never worked though. Some times he would walk around the lab and see her talking to someone, she would still be wearing the ring he gave her too. Never once did he see if off her finger when he saw her, but that was four months ago…

I'd never hurt you (if I could turn back)
Never do you wrong (if I could turn back)
And never leave your side (if I could turn back)

As Horatio walked into the Lab, he immediately decided that he needed to talk to Calleigh, whether she liked it or not. He wanted her to know that even though they aren't together anymore, that he still cares a lot about her. He hadn't seen her in four months and wondered how she would react to him showing up at her lab? Would she pull her gun on him again, or better yet, would she talk to him? He hoped that she would...

There'd be nothing I wouldn't do for you
If I could turn back the hands
(if I could turn back)
Forever honest and true to you
(if I could turn back)
If you accept me back in your heart, I love you
(if I could turn back the hands)

As he came closer to her lab, he watched from his spot as Calleigh walked around her lab on her phone. She was blocked by one of her lab tables and she never once looked up. She looked too engrossed in her conversation. Here goes nothing. He took steps until he was at her door, took a breath and entered her domain.

Calleigh stopped her conversation with the person on the other line when she heard her door open and when she looked up; she saw her former boss-Horatio Caine. She told the person the phone that she would call them back before hanging up and turning to fully face her..ex..

"What do you need Caine?" she sourly asked Horatio

"Caine?" he asked bewildered

"Yes, Caine" Calleigh venomously replied back to him, "I ask again what do you need?" as she places her good hand somewhere he couldn't see.

"I wanted to talk to you" Horatio told Calleigh as he watched her hand disappear under the table, "Can we talk?"

"Why?" she asked

"Can we sit down for this?"

"I think I will stay here" Calleigh nervously replied back, knowing that if she came from behind the table, he would see her exposed in a way

"Please" he begged her kindly

(if I could turn back)
That would be my will
(if I could turn back)
Darlin I'm begging you to take me by the hands
(if I could turn back the hands)

"Horatio..I cant" Calleigh told him honestly, "Too much has changed since the last time we saw each other"

"Calleigh, I really would like to talk to you without a hindrance, like the table, in our way"

As her hand moved from out from under the table and up to her face, Calleigh looked at Horatio once more before slowly walking out from behind the lab table. She could immediately see the change going through his face. He looked shocked one minute, sad the next and then he smiled.

"You're.."

"Yes"

"Is it…"

"Yes"

"How long?"

"Four Months" Calleigh replied, "The day that you did this" she looks at her arm-the one in the sling. "I wanted to tell you, but you scared me"

I'm going down, yes I am
(if I could turn back)
Down on my bended knee, yeah
(if I could turn back)
And I'm going to be right there until you return to me
(if I could turn back the hands)


Walking up to her, he slowly got down on one knee and looked up to Calleigh. He had to have her in his life one way or another. He wanted her around, even if it isn't on his team. He wanted to be able to touch her and their baby, the one that he just found out about. He felt so bad for hurting her, so bad.

"Come back to me"

"You know I want to, but I don't know if I can" Calleigh replied

"I will wait for you if I have to, I just want you both in my life"

"Let me think about it"

Looking at her stomach, then up at her, he silently asked. When he got her nod, he softly placed a kiss on her expanded stomach before rising to his feet. He would wait forever for her if he had to, but he knew that he wanted their baby in his life no matter what.

"Boy or Girl?" Horatio asked

"Boy" she answered, "Due April 7th"

"April 7th, my birthday" he asked to make sure

"Yeah, your birthday"

(if I could turn back)
If I could just turn back that little clock on the wall
(if I could turn back)
Then Id come to realize how much I love you
Love you love you love you
(if I could turn back the hands)

Horatio could do nothing but put his arms around Calleigh and pull her into a hug, one that told her that he was never letting go of her anytime soon-in life that is.

"I Love You still" he quietly said to her

"I know you do Horatio.." she quietly told him too, "..because I still Love You too"
