Calleigh smiled back in return as her favorite people entered the room. "How nice to have friends come by and see me". she said
dryly and sat up. The nurses had pulled back her long blonde hair into a ponytail to keep it away from her face.
ALexx "We're here to see how you are". she pulled up a chair next to Calleigh. "So what did the doctor say?" asked Speed.
"My leg is broken in two places but there clean breaks, and he doesn't see any complications". Calleigh repeated what
Horatio told her.
Eric winced "Yikes. That's gotta hurt". Calleigh "It does alot I can barely feel my legs. They feel so numb from all the antibodics
they gave me. ANd Everywhere else hurts too".
Speed "Did they ask when you could go back to work?" Calleigh spoke up "The Doctor wants me to take a break for awhile until I can get
back on my feet again and to rest. But I want to return as soon as next week. Only Horatio told me that I should get some rest".
Alexx "Well Horatio is right, Calleigh don't rush things we're not replacing you any time soon, not ever ", she said.
"I just feel like I'm letting you guys down and Horatio". said Calleigh.
"How could you feel like your letting us down?" Eric asked. "You fell through a floor!"
Calleigh smiled a little "I know it sounds stupid." "Don't feel that way , Sugar", Alexx said, squeezing her hand. "You rest and heal and you'll be back in your lab in no time".
"In the meantime, we'll make sure no one messes up your stuff", Eric grinned.
"Thanks you guys". Calleigh was gratefull "We have to get going, H wants our input with the Feds". Speed rolled his eyes.
"Go get em tigers", Calleigh teased the guys laughed and then left.
"So... you and Horatio?" Alexx raised her eyebrows . Calleigh smiled "He's never done anything like that before", she said honestly "I hope", she trailed off.
"Don't worry , Sugar, I know Horatio", Alexx winked "He feels the same way".
