The next morning Eric woke up to find Calleigh laying on top of him . Her hair fanned out on her chest and her cheeks a rosy pink . Her breaths tickled his chest but he smiled . He gently lifted her up and off him so he could get up and make breakfast like he had planned last night .

It took him about 20 minutes to make everything just perfect , but he finally did it and walked over to the bed to give Calleigh a good morning kiss . He leaned down to kiss her and when his lips brushed hers , her eyes flew open but she relaxed when she saw Eric and wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him down .

" Good morning . "

" To what do I owe such a good morning ." She questioned with a smile on her face.

" I made us breakfast ." He announced proudly.

" Breakfast ? Looks like a couple of plates of strawberries , some whipped cream and a bottle of chocolate sauce . "

" And ?" He said sarcastically.

" Nothing . Sounds perfect . Thank you ." She let him help her up and walk her over to the table . He even pulled out her chair when she sat down .

" You know , This is only for fun . I did actually make breakfast ."

"Well , I know what I want for breakfast . " She pulled him over and gave him a kiss on the lips leaving them both breathless.

" Sounds good to me . "

Long after breakfast had gotten cold and they had fallen asleep one of their phones rang . Calleigh recognized it as hers and jumped up.

" Hello ? "

" Calleigh ? It's Horatio , I didn't wake you up did I ? "

" No …. Not at all , we were just eating some breakfast ." Eric had sat up and was listening .

"Okay , well we found the guy that hit you . His prints and epithelia's were on a 2x4 left in a trash can near the crime scene . Your DNA was on the other end . We need you to come home a little sooner than expected . We have him in a holding cell as assaulting a federal officer , but we can't keep him any longer than 36 hours , so you have to ID him within the next 24 . "

" Sure , when's our flight ?" She motioned to Eric for him to get a piece of paper and a pen.

" Tonight at 8:00 , that was the soonest flight I could get you on with permission to carry guns and evidence on board ."

" Okay . But 8:00 pm your time or ours ? '

" Yours . "

" Alright , see you tonight . "

Calleigh walked back over to the bed and sat down to talk to Eric . " Well , we have a 8:00 flight . Its about 12:30 now , and we should probably leave for the airport at like 5:00 to make sure we get there without traffic and we have to get out guns checked and our permits to carry them signed . "

" So I guess a movie or a day out would be out , Do you want to pack now and go shopping ? We haven't really bought anybody souvenirs , and I promised Ryan and my parents one , and I guess we should get Horatio one for letting us come . "

" Oh and Natalia . "

" So you want to go shopping ? "

" Definitely . " Calleigh grabbed a strawberry and dipped it in the chocolate then into the whipped cream and took a bite . There was some chocolate left on the side of her mouth and Eric leaned over to kiss it off for her . She kissed him back and relished in the newness of this , she hadn't really dated in a while . She had been too busy waiting for this . She smiled against Eric's lips and he pulled back .

"What's up ?"

"Nothing. I love you ."

A wide grin took over Eric's face , and Calleigh's matched his . "I love you too ."

They got ready and then decided to walk the strip. They went to a couple different gift shops and they each bought of their friends a tacky Vegas t-shirt . They got a snow globe with the strip in it for Natalia and Eric's parents , a pen for Horatio who wouldn't like anything else , and a shot glass for Ryan .

While in one store Eric saw Calleigh eyeing a gorgeous ring and decided to buy it . She wandered off to look at a necklace , and he took it to the register. It wasn't exactly an engagement ring , but it would be more of a commitment thing . He also grabbed a thin silver chain as an afterthought and had her ring that up too . He quickly put the two black boxes in his jacket and walked back over to Calleigh.

Not long after they were sitting in the airport after security and baggage check , when Calleigh suddenly spoke up .

" Eric , do you ever feel like even though something is totally amazing , you want something a little bit better ? "

Hoping she meant advancing their relationship, and not her wanting a new boyfriend he responded . "Like getting married ? "

" Maybe someday , but I was thinking more like being exclusive . Maybe , we shouldn't date other people . I know we said boyfriend and girlfriend , but these days I don't really know …"

" Calleigh , I agree." She smiled , and silently thanked god that what she said had come across the right way . She had been trying to come up with a good way to say that since this morning .

" You know , maybe we should move in together too ." She said as a joke , they were moving unbelievably fast .

Eric was totally speechless and Calleigh laughed . " I have officially rendered Eric Delko speechless. There should be a record of this moment . "

When he got his voice back he turned to look at her and opened his mouth a few times before he got what he wanted to say out ." Really ? "

" What do you think ?" Calleigh was scared . This was a such a big step , but she had known Eric for what seemed like forever , and they were already closer than boyfriend and girlfriend. This did seem like the next logical step , if you put the entire relationship on fast forward.

Eric saw the look on her face . He got reached over for her hand and pulled two black boxes and a key out of his jacket . Calleigh was scared . She wasn't really ready for marriage , not yet , but she didn't want to hurt Eric .At the same time , she wondered what was in the boxes .

" Calleigh will you move in with me ?"

She nodded and he handed her the key , leaning over to kiss her. "I also have two boxes here . Don't freak out , it's not what you think it is ."

She breathed a sigh of relief and Eric chuckled. He opened the first box and turned it towards Calleigh ." This is a promise ring . I want to marry you someday, but not today. This is just to show you that ,when we are both ready , and if we are still madly in love with each other , we can get engaged."

" So like a step before engagement ?" She asked , her eyes still locked with Eric's . When he nodded she smiled and kissed him , then she looked down at the ring and her eyes widened . She saw that it was the ring she had seen in the jewelry store and threw her arms around his neck .

"I love you , but I need my hands if you want to see what's in the second box ."

Being the curious person she was , she moved away from him and smiled expectantly.

Eric smiled at her and grabbed her hand , the one with the ring he had gotten her , and held it ."It's a chain for you to put the ring on while we work , that thing might just tear through some gloves . "

" Oh thank you so much . It's really pretty . " It was a silver chain with a small heart on it and enough room to put her ring next to it . "

Their flight was called and Eric laughed . "You know , our milestones happen in the weirdest places . "

" What ? "

" Boyfriend and Girlfriend at the mall . First " I love You " at a club , and this at an airport . "

Calleigh laughed too . "I see what you mean . "
