Why Didn't You Tell Me?
As she walked out of the room, Calleigh looked at her. When she saw the look on Natalia's face, she got nervous. "What's wrong?" "Calleigh, you lied to me." "Natalia, what are you-" "He told me everything Calleigh. Even the details you just happened to leave out when you told everyone what happened." Calleigh went pale white. Without a word, she brushed past Natalia, heading for the lockers again. "Calleigh, you can't just walk away!" Natalia said, following her. "Watch me!" Calleigh said.
They were in the locker room when Natalia grabbed Calleigh's arm. "Why didn't you tell me, or anyone else?" she asked softly. "Because I couldn't," Calleigh said, looking into Natalia's eyes. "Besides, you would have figured it out eventually anyway." She pulled her arm free, heading for her locker. "What do you mean by that?" Natalia asked. "Oh no, I won't make that mistake again. Bumping into Eric earlier means he already knows, but not you too." "Know about what Calleigh?" Natalia asked, her voice soft and concerned. "Nothing! Nothing Natalia," Calleigh said. "I didn't want to do this Calleigh, but either you tell me, or I tell Horatio everything." Calleigh looked back at Natalia. More than anything, her friend looked worried. Natalia was taken aback as Calleigh grabbed her hand. "Cal, what are you doing? Let me g-" she stopped as Calleigh let her hand go once it was touching Calleigh's stomach. "This is how everyone is going to find out," Calleigh said, trembling. Natalia was speechless as she slowly pulled her hand away as the baby quit turning. "Cal, is it.... his?" "No one else's," Calleigh said, opening her locker. "You really need to tell someone," Natalia said. "Particularly Horatio." "I will, but not now," Calleigh said. "Eric knows, and that's enough. He and I can manage for now." She put away her gun and badge, grabbed her bag, as well as Eric's note, read it, then headed to leave. "Please Calleigh, let me help," Natalia said. "If you want to help, just keep it between the two of us and Eric," Calleigh said as the elavator doors closed, separating them. Natalia stared after her in shock.
