DISCALIMER: I don't own CSI Miami and i don't make any money from it
Chapter 7
Chapter 7.
Calleigh woke of some hours later realizing she was no longer in her own bedroom, but in a much bigger one. She stretched a little before she turned in the bed hogging one of the big, fluffy pillows that was there while she let out a sigh by the smell of Horatio that surrounded her.
She knew this had to be his bedroom, and that she sometime when she was unconscious she had switched back to human and he had taken her there.
It was then it occurred to her that if this was in fact his bedroom, he had taken her to Miami before she actually had said yes to the job, but she didn't really care as she would have said yes either way so she lazily closed her eyes.
As she lay there quietly thinking she wondered where he was since he wasn't in bed and the place seemed to quiet for anyone else there, she hogged the pillow tighter and figured he would come back sooner or later.
She had her eyes closed for a few more minutes before she yawned and get out of bed to have a look around. His bedroom consisted in the bed, some closets and a nightstand.
Calleigh took up a picture on the nightstand it was of a man a woman and little boy, she assumed the man was Horatio's brother as they looked kinda alike. She smiled and put it back before she looked at a book on the nightstand a crime one, before she looked in the drawers, in one was mostly magazines, but in the next was some pictures of him and a blonde lady, Calleigh guessed her age was early thirties, then it was some pictures of Horatio and a little boy and the woman and the boy so Calleigh guessed it was their kid, but since she hadn't seen a wedding ring on his finger she assumed they were not still together.
He had a son and a very cute one, but still, Calleigh wasn't prepared for that quite yet, then again he was older so it wasn't that weird, she put the photos back and took out something she knew was a little safety box for his gun, and beneath it she saw a picture of another woman, but it was so old that she assumed it had to be his mother
Calleigh wondered if she was still alive before she put it back and closed the drawer.
Other than that there wasn't anything more of interest in the bedroom so she walked into the bathroom to take a quick shower.
When she was fully dressed again she walked out to the living room and sat down on the coach when Horatio came back and said: You're up.
"You have a son" she replied.
"I used to" he said thoughtfully.
"He died" said Calleigh.
"No, he got kidnapped when he was very young, Julia and I never managed to find him again" he said with a sigh.
"You still a couple?" she asked.
"No over long time ago, but still friends" he said honestly.
"My poor handsome, how old would he have been now?" she asked as she held his hand.
"Four" said Horatio, it was still a painful memory to him.
"My poor handsome" said Calleigh and gave him a soft kiss.
"I rather not talk about it as it reminds me of what kind of failure I am as a father" he said.
"I'm sure you aren't" she said.
"I am how else would I loose my son" he said.
"We will find him again I'm sure" she said pretty certain even if she didn't know how long it would take.
"I dunno" he said.
"We can always try to get some other little ones in the mean time" she said and gave him a peck on the check.
"You really think that's a good idea, I mean you hardly know me, I could be like Jake for all you know" she said.
"I'm sure you aren't" she said.
"But Calleigh you are still young, are you sure you want that, I mean a child is a lot of responsibility and you are about to start a new job that will take a lot of you" he said.
"You don't wanna" she said a bit surprised.
"I do, but I think your wolf hormones are talking as you are in heat" he said.
"But you wanted me earlier tonight" she said.
"I still do, I'm just saying a baby isn't the best idea" he said.
"Umf you men are all the same only after one thing" she said annoyed.
"Calleigh don't be like that" he said.
"Umf, I better find someplace else to live see you tomorrow" she said and headed for the door.
"Calleigh" he said, but she just let out another huff and left.
Horatio arrived to work early the next day wondering where Calleigh had slept that night as she hadn't come back, then again she probably did have money so she probably could find a place pretty quick.
It was then he heard her voice behind him on the parking lot saying: Thanks a lot daddy, I'll see you later.
"No problem lamb-chop you have fun at work now" he heard a male voice say.
"I will, but you better go before you drive of" she said and Horatio heard the car drive of.
Horatio turned smiled at her and said: God morning Calleigh.
"Umf" she replied hardly looking at him while she walked up the stairs.
"I didn't know your father lived in Miami" he said as she passed him.
"There's lots you don't know about me you stupid man" she said as they walked inside.
"Calleigh please" he said a bit frustrated.
"No, no, no, you shouldn't done what ya did" she said.
"But you gotto understand why I acted like I did" he said.
"UMF" she snarled at him.
"What the heck is going on out here" they suddenly heard a female voice say.
"Megan Donner, Calleigh Duquesne" said Horatio.
"It's a pleasure, but you're still a jerk" said Calleigh and looked annoyed at Horatio.
"What did he do?" Megan asked curiously.
"He lead me on then he changed his mind" said Calleigh.
"I did no such thing, it was you who backed out" he said annoyed.
"I most certainly did not, now would someone show me my lab so I can get to work" she said.
"I'll show you" said Megan.
"I could have done it to" said Horatio.
"Not this time you need to calm down" said Megan as they left him behind.
A few hours later were Calleigh were happily taking a part a gun when a young guy popped his head in and said: Are you the new girl?
"Yeah that would be me, Calleigh Duquesne" she said.
"Tim Speddle" he said and shook her hand.
"So you've been here long?" she asked curiously.
"A while why?" he replied.
"Then maybe you can fill me in on the people that work here" she said hopefully.
"Megan used to be the boss until her husband died and she took time of and Horatio took over, I'm kinda Megan's second in command, but she and Horatio work well together. Horatio he is a workaholic and a lone wolf, but he's a great boss and easy to talk to" said Tim.
"And you?" she asked curiously, she could sense he was a wolf.
"I like all kinds of cars and stuff like that and I ride a bike to, which I love cause it goes real fast" he said.
"You like things that go fast, bet your nick name is speed" she said with a giggle.
"Sure is, what bout you then?" he asked.
"I love guns and weapons and knows all about then, my nickname is bulletgirl" she said with a smile.
"Cool, so you seeing anyone?" he asked.
"Uhm, just broke it up with one guy and kinda complicated with another" she said as she didn't in fact know if it was over with Jake when her phone rang and she said: Just a moment need to take this one.
She walked a few steps away and said: Hello.
"You bitch where the hell are you" she heard Jake in the other end.
"Miami" she said.
"So you just took of with that mutt, whatever for?" he asked annoyed.
"Because he offered me a new and better job here and I took it" she said.
"And when were you gonna tell me that?" said Jake.
Calleigh didn't quite know what to say as she wasn't quite sure what had in fact happened between Horatio and Jake when she was out when he said: I'm waiting.
"Well I was kinda gonna tell you yesterday, but then you called and said you were late" she said.
"So that means you got to right to jump another guy, so how many have you slept with when we were together?" he asked.
"Uhm, dunno, but thing was I was gonna discuss it with you before I accepted, but well one thing lead to another and then you know the rest" she said.
"I surly do, and I ain't gonna let you get away with this" he snarled into the phone.
"Don't you dare come over here and wreck this, I really want this to go well" she snarled back.
"Oh I dare to say we are over for now, but if I were you I would watch my back because this is far from over" he said and hung up.
"Trouble?" Tim asked as Calleigh was shaking.
"I dunno yet, but knowing him I would say do, would you ask Horatio to get down here" she said.
"Of course, talk to you later bulletgirl" he said and left her.
Horatio showed up a moment later and said: You wanted to see me, Calleigh what is wrong?
"What exactly happened between you and Jake while I was knocked out, cause he just called and he sure wasn't happy and how could you just take me like that cause I never said I would take the job" she said annoyed.
"We fought a bit and I won, I just assumed you would say yes so I took you here, I though it would be safer than for him to come back to you unconscious" he said.
"I would, and thanks, but what are we?" she asked confused as to what he wanted from her.
"I think it would be best if we just work together nothing more" he said.
"But I thought you were my mate" she said silently.
"I don't believe in that kinda stuff" he said as he though Julia was his mate until they lost Kyle and everything fell apart.
"Horatio" she said and looked into his sapphire eyes for an answer, but couldn't find any.
"What do you want" he said.
"I dunno, forget the last six years with Jake for once" she said with a sigh.
"Do you want children and all than?" he asked.
"I want, I want you I think" she said.
"Are you sure that isn't just your wofly hormones talking" he said.
"Why, why did I ever have to run into you way back, you were my first do you know that" she said since he wasn't just her first wolf.
"I thought as much and I dunno, do you still have my badge" he said as he never gotten it back.
"I do, I dunno why, but I need it" she said.
"Keep it, if we ever were meant to be we'll find out soon enough, now I have another crime scene" he said and left her again.
"Stupid red wolf always messing me up" she though annoyed and went back to work.
