Chapter 10: Help from Another Source

Kenwall 'Duke' Duquesne has been sober for two years now and he was very happy that he was. The road to sobriety was hard on both Calleigh and Duke. At first Duke was depressed, which made Calleigh miss work more than she wanted to since she didn't want her dad to do something to himself. Months went by and Duke was going to regular AA meetings and every time he wanted a drink, he would call his sponsor and they would go to the meetings.

Being sober was like a rebirth to Kenwall. He was now able to see his daughter smile and laugh whenever they would go to dinner. He was able to visit her at work, without it being a hassle as to where he was the night before. Everybody at the lab knew who he was, but now it was in a ray of light since he was no longer an alcoholic. He felt much better now, since he was not causing pain to his only daughter. She has helped him so much and he was proud to have a daughter like her.

Kenwall was at home, reading a book when he heard the phone ring. Looking at his watch, he saw that it was eleven at night and wondered who would be calling him this late. He got up from his couch, put his book on the coffee table and went to answer the phone. Picking it up he looked at the number that belonged to his daughter. She never called this late, ever and now it was scaring him. Answering the phone he heard crying on the other line.

"Calleigh, Calleigh is that you?" asked a more than scared Duke "Calleigh lambchop, please talk to me" he urged on, only hearing quiet sobs coming from the other line.

"Daddy.." whimpered Calleigh "Daddy, I had a fight with Horatio"

Duke knew that Calleigh was pregnant, but he didn't know by whom. He was more worried about Calleigh and the unborn babies. When she first told him that he was going to be a grandfather, he was shocked, but he came over that fast when he found out how happy she was to be pregnant. Now that he hears her calling him "Daddy" instead of "Dad" really worried him , because the only time she called him daddy was when she was more than hurt or scared.

"Calleigh, what is wrong?" Duke asked her "What happened?"

"He..He was, he was cheating..he got me pregnant and he..doesn't want to be with me" Calleigh more than cried to her father over the phone "He doesn't want me Daddy"

"Honey, you need to calm down and tell me what happened" Duke asked his daughter " Can you do that for me?"

"I..yes" Calleigh calmed down some in order to talk to her dad. "Horatio is the father of the babies and he..he was there for me after I.. after I was sent to the hospital, but he left to go to work the day I was sent home and he came by today.." Calleigh stopped talking when her cell phone rang in the background "Wait a minute Daddy"

"Take your time Lamb chop" Kenwall told his daughter

Over the phone Kenwall could hear Calleigh talking to somebody, but didn't know whom. He could hear her saying a few words like "I don't want to speak to you" and "You broke my heart!" and then he heard her come back on.

"Sorry about that, it was Horatio, he wanted to talk to me" She told her dad "But I can't talk to him right now. I don't think that I can talk to him ever again Daddy"

"Lamb chop, tell me what happened and don't leave anything out"

Calleigh went on to tell her dad about how she quit CSI and that she was cleaning out the ballistics lab when she passed out and woke up in the hospital. She told him about the test and the babies and how they were ok. She went on to tell him that her and Horatio were on good terms when at the hospital and when she was sent home, how he left her to get a ride from Alexx. She told him how she cried and cried for him that afternoon and when she woke up, how he came over to talk to her and that Alexx called and told her about what she saw at work that day.

Kenwall was listening to what his daughter was saying and told her to keep going after she stopped talking at the whole Emily part, so Calleigh went on. Calleigh told him that Horatio was dating the Emily woman and that Emily didn't know that she was pregnant and how Horatio was sorry about everything he did to her. She told her dad that she couldn't forgive him for breaking her heart so many times.

Kenwall felt sadness for his daughter, she was pregnant with her ex-bosses babies and she could do nothing about it. He had to do something to help her so of course since she has helped him so much in his life, he had to repay her some way, so he decided to give her advice, incase, and so it would help her think things through.

"Have you thought about how he feels?" Duke asked Calleigh "He might really want to be with you, but he is having a hard time as to how to do that"

"I really want him to be here with me Daddy, but I am having a hard time trusting him right now because of everything he did" Calleigh told her dad "I told him that I want to give the babies up for adoption and he told be that I couldn't do that because they are his babies too"

"He does have a point Calleigh, whether you want to admit it or not, the babies do share his DNA"

"Yes, I know. What should I do Daddy? Should I give the babies up or should I raise them myself? I really need help here" Calleigh was on the verge of crying again

"Well, you will first need to give him a call and try to set up a meeting time where you both can meet to talk things through, and I mean talk Calleigh, not yell ok" her dad told her, giving it time to sink into his daughters head

"Ok, Umm, Ok. Thanks Daddy, a lot, I really appreciate you being here for me"

"Hey, I have to be, its my duty as a father to be there for his only daughter, since now she is carrying my grandchildren" he lightly joked to Calleigh

"Funny Dad" laughed Calleigh over the phone "Thanks for the advice and I will call you back in a few days so we can meet up for our usual brunch or dinner date"

"Ok, and be careful Lamb chop. Love you Calleigh" Duke told Calleigh "Plus we have to talk about what is with you being sent to the hospital too"

"I will Dad. It wasnt much, just some minor flu problems, but its passed, I have been given a clean bill of health" Calleigh told her dad "And I love you too Dad"

"Well as long as you're ok" Duke said to Calleigh in which she replied "Don't worry I am"

"Night" was what they both said to each other before they hung the phones up and Calleigh was once again back to thinking about what her father said to her a few minutes ago.

Have you thought about how he feels?… He does have a point Calleigh, the babies do share his DNA… Talk to him

She thought about what her dad had told her as she got ready for bed and before she knew it, once her head hit the pillow, she was fast asleep and dreaming of her unborn babies.
