DISCALIMER: I don't own CSI Miami or CSI: Crime Scene Investigation and i don't make any money from it.
Chapter 10.
When Catherine came back she heard laughter and talking from the kitchen and went inside to see Calleigh, Horatio and Kyle having breakfast, they looked like a typical family.
"So I hear you were out with my daughter last night" said Catherine.
"Yeah, but it was not my idea" said Kyle.
"Don't worry, Linds told me earlier, apparently she wants to be a card dealer" said Catherine with a sigh.
"Yeah she knows everyone there so I'm not surprised" Kyle said.
"Hmmm" said Catherine, she didn't know if it was a good thing or not.
"Want some breakfast?" Calleigh asked.
"Mhm" said Catherine and sat down as Calleigh found her a plate and a glass.
"Dad, can I go downtown while you eat?" Kyle asked.
"Yes go on" said Horatio and Kyle left.
"Sorry Linds spoiled your fun last evening" said Catherine.
"No worries, we can have fun later, right handsome" said Calleigh.
"Of course bulletgirl" he said and gave her a peck on the check.
"So you raise everyone's children for fun" Catherine joked.
"With Linds I had to as we swooped places and she needed to get back on track and Kyle is Horatio's son so I have to do that to and I don't mind Calleigh replied.
"You didn't want to raise one that was your said Catherine.
Calleigh just looked down. Of course she had though about it many times, but since she worked so much she didn't even know how to balance her job and a child. And she didn't even know how to be a mother either. She wondered if Horatio wanted more children or if he was happy with just Kyle.
She hoped he wouldn't pressure her to get pregnant, at least not before they got married, if they got married that was. Or at least until they had been together for a while. And if they were getting kids they should at least live together and she really wasn't ready yet. Was that what he was planning, move in with her fast and get her pregnant, she hoped not.
Horatio looked at her, it looked like she was about to panic so he said: "Calleigh honey, relax, we have all the time in the world, we've only just started dating."
Calleigh sighed relieved and Catherine said: "I know it, you did visit him the other night when he was late."
"I did" said Calleigh and blushed quite a bit.
"And you're ok with continuing working here" said Catherine.
"I am, can you be away from your man can I be away from mine" said Calleigh honest.
"Except I don't have any man" said Catherine.
"Don't you try to fool me, you and bugman are a couple, you just came back from his house after having sex" said Calleigh.
"How did you know" said Catherine shocked.
"Lindsay told me you might be at Grissom's and you have that after sex look on your face" said Calleigh.
Horatio gave her another peck on the check and said: "She's smart and your hair is a bit messy too."
"Maybe I did, but I just went over to talk" said Catherine honest and wondered how Calleigh could date a man that was that much older than her self.
"Sweetheart we gotto hurry or we'll be late" said Horatio.
"Mhm, just let me finish my coffee" she said.
"Where are you going?" asked Catherine curiously.
"Meeting the rest, going to check out that new hotel Olympus or Olympia don't remember" said Calleigh.
"You checking out my hotel" said Catherine surprised.
"It's yours" said Calleigh a tad shocked.
"Inherit it from my dad" said Catherine.
"Oh that explains a lot" said Calleigh.
"Like what?" asked Catherine a tad confused.
"Like why Lindsay got into Tangiers and knew everyone being under aged" said Calleigh since she knew both Tangiers and Olympus was Sam Braun's.
"You all in the family" said Catherine, even if she didn't know that Lindsay had sneaked out and been at the casinos.
"So wanna join" said Calleigh.
"Sure why not, just give me five minutes to get ready" said Catherine and ran upstairs.

"Wow this is yours" said Calleigh once they were inside the Olympus, it was huge with statues of Greek Gods and things that were related to it everywhere.
"Yes" Catherine said with a satisfied smile.
"You must be filthy rich" said Ryan impressed by the place.
"I earn some money on it" Catherine admitted.
"You must be even richer than H" said Eric.
"Dunno, how much does he have?" said Catherine.
"Dunno, but it has to be a lot" said Eric.
"Show me your fortune and I'll show you mine" Catherine joked.
Horatio took up his phone and wrote down the number close to what he got and showed Catherine and she did the same when Calleigh said: "Handsome you are never gonna believe this, but I got more money that you."
"How much" said both Catherine and Horatio surprised and showed them a sum closed to what she got and they gasped.
"Hang on, how can you be rich" said Eric.
"Saved from I was born and from all the jobs I had and I don't use that much" said Calleigh, which was true.
"My little saver" said Horatio and gave her a peck on the check.
"Yeah, I'm impressed" said Catherine since Calleigh had almost as much money as her self.
Horatio bent his head and whispered: "Have you any idea how big of a turn on it is that you have so much money."
"No, but I can feel it" she whispered back as they followed Catherine and the rest to see the rest of the place.

A couple of hours later they were playing blackjack in the casino, Horatio was standing behind Calleigh pressing against her so she could still feel him. Without anyone noticing it she moved a bit close and pushed her backside against him so she could feel him even better.
"Calleigh your time to place the bets" said Eric.
She nodded, placed them and the game continued.
Then Horatio suddenly disappeared and Ryan said: "Where did he run of to?"
"Dunno" said Calleigh.
"Calleigh how much money do you really have?" Greg asked.
"Let's just say I could take a couple of years if I wanted to" she replied.
"So you can buy whatever you like" said Natalia.
"Pretty much" said Calleigh.
"Even a house and a Ferrari" said Nick.
"Oh come on Nick, no way she could afford that on a CSI pay" said Sara.
"I could" said Calleigh.
"Then why don't you?" asked Warrick.
"Cause my crossfire ain't that old and what do I need a house for when I got an apartment, besides I'm hardly ever home" she said.
"Could you afford a plane and a boat?" Ryan asked.
"Yes" said Calleigh.
"A trip around the world" said Warrick.
"Yes" said Calleigh.
"You don't have any down payments on any loans" said Sara.
"No, paid them back" said Calleigh.
"Will you marry me" said Warrick and Eric at the same time.
"I most certainly will not" said Calleigh.
"Oh come on Cal, I can make you happy" said Warrick.
"I'm already taken" she said and placed her bets.
"By old H, come on, we're better than him" said Eric.
"I won't have you talk about him that was" she said.
"Being defensive, cute" said Eric.
"Yeah really, what can you possibly see in that old man" said Warrick.
"Yeah, he's old, dry and probably only like you because you are younger" said Eric.
"He's handsome, kind, sweet, funny, loyal, good in bed and treats me like and equal, which is more than I can say for you, I'm leaving" she said, took her winnings and did just that.
"Do you believe that" said Warrick.
"Did she just say he was good in bed" said Eric.
"You two should be ashamed of your self" said Sara.
"Yeah you went too far" said Greg.
"You better find her and apologize before Horatio get back or he'll be mad as hell" said Natalia honest.
"She's right, come on" said Eric and they left.
************************************************************************************************************
"Calleigh wait up" Warrick yelled as he and Eric followed a few steps behind her, but she just kept on walking.
They caught up and Eric said: Would you slow down we need to talk to you.
"Why should I when you talked badly about me and my boyfriend" she said and kept on walking.
"Listen Calleigh, we are really sorry" said Eric.
"Yeah we really are, we went way over the line" said Warrick.
"How could you say that about him" said Calleigh, still hurt.
"I dunno, it just slipped out" said Eric.
"Bu even if you feel that you should have kept it to your self, you really hurt me with what you said. I mean I'm crazy about him, why can't you guys be happy for me is that so hard" she said looking right into their eyes.
"You're right, we are really sorry" they both said looking down.
"Hmmm" she replied.
"Will you please come back with us" said Eric.
"I need some time and some sleep" said Calleigh, she was suddenly feeling very tired.
"Please Horatio will kill is if he finds you are not there" said Warrick.
"He won't, just go back, I'll meet you later, but now I need sleep" she said and left.
Warrick and Eric both sighed and went back inside.
