The next morning Calleigh wakes up and hears Eric in the kitchen.

Eric turns around and see's Calleigh walking into the kitchen.

"Hey beautiful how did you sleep last night" Eric asks.

"I slept really good actually. How about you" Calleigh asks.

"I'm glad we had Ryan and Natalia over last night it was fun. I'm so happy for them they really look happy together" Calleigh replies.

"Yeah they do look happy it's just so hard. To picture Ryan and and Natalia together" Eric says.

"Yeah but I'm happy for Natalia I know it's been so hard for her to trust people since the divorce. I'm glad that she's opening up and Ryan is a really good guy. I know that he will treat her right" Calleigh replies.

"Hey I made us some breakfast are you hungry" Eric asks.

"Yeah starving" Calleigh replies.

Eric and Calleigh sit down and have breakfast then get ready to head to the lab.

The ride on the way to the lab was silent. But Eric and Calleigh held hands the whole way there.

Eric and Calleigh walk into the locker room and see Ryan and Natalia kissing.

"Wow so open in public already" Eric says then starts laughing.

Ryan and Natalia pull apart and feel embarassed.

"We are sorry guys I know we should probally. Be a little more careful when we are at work" Natalia says.

"It's ok guys don't worry about it" Calleigh replies.

"Hey Nat you wanna come help me work on some evidence in trace" Calleigh asks.

"Yea sure let's go" Nat replies.

Calleigh and Natalia walk out of the locker room and head to the trace lab. While Eric and Ryan are still in the locker room.

"Hey Ryan can i talk to you for a second" Eric asks.

"Yeah sure what's up" Ryan replies.

"Well you know that me and Calleigh have been together. For a few months now and things are going really well between us. I wanna ask Calleigh to marry me what do you think" Eric exclaims.

"Wow well I think that's great" Ryan replies.

"I think i am gonna wait till around christmas time to propose" Eric says.

"I don't think I have ever seen Calleigh this happy. And you did that man I mean she loves you. I don't know why but she does." Ryan says then laughs.

"Oh thanks buddy that's really nice" Eric says then laughs.

Eric and Ryan turn to leave the locker room and notice Horatio standing there.

"Good morning Sir" Eric says nervously not sure how much of that conversation Horatio heard.

"Good Morning Eric,Ryan. So engaged" Horatio asks.

"So you did hear the conversation" Eric replies.

"Yes and I think it's great Calleigh is a great girl. She deserves to be happy and you make her happy" Horatio says.

"Thank you sir I appreciate that" Eric replies.

"Alright we better get to work" Ryan says.

Eric and Ryan leave the locker room and head to the lab to work on some evidence with Calleigh and Natalia.

Ryan ad Eric walk into the lab where Calleigh and Natalia are working.

"Hey guys me and Natalia were about about. Having thanksgiving together" Calleigh exclaims.

"Yeah that sounds great" Eric replies.

"I mean we don't have family here. So it would be nice" Ryan replies.

"We should invite H" Calleigh says.

Calleigh sits down at the table.

"How are things going with you and Eric" Alexx asks.

"Things are going so good Alexx. I could have never dreamed of anything. Better than this" Calleigh replies.

"Well baby I can tell that Eric makes you very happy. He's a good man and not bad looking either" Alexx says then starts to laugh.

Later that day

Calleigh looks at her watch and see's that her shift is over. So she heads to the locker room to grab her stuff and Natalia is in there.

"Hey Natalia i was hoping to catch you before you left. Would you wanna go to the store with me and get the stuff for thanksgiving" Calleigh asks.

"Yeah sure Calleigh I would love to go" Natalia replies.

"Ok I just need to let Eric know before we leave" Calleigh says.

Calleigh heads to the trace lab where Eric and Ryan are working on some more evidence.

"Hey me and Nat are gonna go to the store and get the stuf for thanksgiving dinner" Calleigh says.

"Ok I gotta stay here and finish up with some stuff. But if you want I can stop by your place on my way home" Eric replies.

"I would love that" Calleigh says then kisses Eric on the lips.

Eric and Calleigh look up and Ryan and Natalia are just standing there looking at them

"What" Eric exclaims

"Oh nothing" Ryan replies

"Alright let's get out of here" Calleigh says then laughs.

Calleigh and Natalia head to the garage to get in the hummer and head to the store

An hour later Calleigh and Natalia arrive at Calleighs place to unload all the grocerys

"Alright that should be everything. Thanks for your help Natalia" Calleigh says.

"Oh don't mention I don't mind at all. I love this kind of stuff I remember doing this all the time. As a kid with my mom you know going to buy the turkey and get all the food" Natalia says.

Calleigh has a sad look in her eyes

"Yeah my thanksgiving dinners were not quite that pleasant. I was lucky if my parents were even sober you know for them. The holidays were all about there drinking. But anyways since the guys are still at work why don't we cook them some dinner we can all eat together tonight" Calleigh says.

"Ok sounds great" Natalia replies.

Calleigh and Natalia are in the middle of preparing dinner. When Calleighs phone starts to ring. She looks a the caller ID and its Eric.

"Hey Eric" Calleigh says.

"Yea we are headed out the door right now. We will be there in a little bit" Eric says then hangs up his phone

Eric and Ryan leave the lab and arrive at Calleighs place.

They all sit down at the table to eat dinner

"This is great Calleigh" Eric says.

"Yeah thank Natalia she did a great job helping me" Calleigh replies.

"It's perfect Natalia" Ryan says then kisses her.

"What are you smiling at " Ryan asls.

"Oh nothing you two are just so lovey dovey. But it's a good thing" Calleigh replies.

"What about you two. When are you getting married" Ryan asks.

"I don't know we have not really discussed that" Calleigh says.

"Well when the time is right I'm sure. That you two will get married your perfect for eachother" Natalia replies.

They finish eating dinner and the guys go watch the game. While Calleigh and Natalia clean up dinner.

"Did you ever think that you would be in a relationship with Ryan" Calleigh asks.

"Hey Nat can i ask you a question" Calleigh asks.

"Sure what's up" Natalia replies.

"You know I came to work at the lab I instantly liked Ryan he was a cool guy and just genuinly nice. He was a good friend at that point I was not looking for a relationship because the divorce was still fresh. And I was still stealing with that so I didn't really allow my feelings for Ryan to go beyond friendship" Natalia replies.

"Yeah but your happy right" Calleigh asks.

"I'm very happy he treats me right he's such a gentleman. A quality that my ex didn't have so it's hard to get used to" Natalia replies.

"Yeah but I can look at Ryans face when your together and tell that he truly loves you. And i'm just happy that your happy again" Calleigh replies.

"Thanks Calleigh that mean a lot" Natalia replies.

Calleigh and Natalia hug eachother. They finish the dishes then walk into the living room and sit on the couch with the guys and watch the game.

"Are you crazy I am in a relationship Nick and I am happy. I am not going to let you ruin that for me not again" Natalia replies.

"Oh let me guess your with that Eric guy. The one who tried to be all protective of you when I was trying to get a job at CSI" Nick replies.

"No it's not him but even if it was this is none of your business. I have to go but you better leave me alone and do not call me again Nick" Natalia replies then hangs up the phone and trys to dry the tears out of her eyes hoping no one will notice.

"I know I just hope he does not ruin this relationship. For Ryan and Natalia." Eric replies.

"He might try but Natalia won't let that happen" Calleigh says.

Eric just looks at calleigh and smiles. He's thinking about earlier and the conversation that he had with Ryan about proposing to Calleigh.

"Hey Cal could you see us getting married. I mean down the road some time" Eric asks.

"Eric I have been through many relationships and I never really took them all that serious. I never saw myself marrying any of those guys but things are different this time Eric. Cause I can't imagine my life without you your the best thing that's every happened to me" Calleigh replies.

"Can I take that as a yes" Eric says then smiles.

"Yes you can definitly take that as a yes" Calleigh replies then kisses Eric on the lips.
