Calleigh woke up and stretched . She was getting married today . She rolled over and went to snuggle into Eric but he wasn't there . She sat up , confused for a minute before she realized that he had spent the night over Ryan's .

She laid in bed for a while before she got up and into the shower . The wedding was at 5:00 and it was barely noon . Natalia , Valera and Alexx would be over at 2:00 to help her get ready and then ride to the church in the limo with her .

After her shower she blow-dried her hair then sat down on her bed and was trying to think of something to do when the doorbell rang . She checked her watch , it obviously wouldn't be the girls yet . So she got up and checked the peephole before she answered . It was a delivery guy . She signed for the package and then went down and sat on the couch .

She ripped open the brown package and it revealed a journal . She flipped it open to look through the pages and on the very first page was an entry from Eric dated as of this morning .

" Calleigh –

This was an idea from my parents . Today , different people will be coming and going from both of our locations . Instead of screwing the tradition like we wanted ,we went with the separation thing , so this is to keep us together in our hearts and our minds . Write what you want , what you're feeling , or draw a picture , as long as it's from you , I know it will make me smile . Just as this is making you smile right now . The first person to pass the journal to is Horatio , he's going to over at about 1:00 . Have fun and don't go crazy missing me .

I love you ,

Eric "

Calleigh thought it was a great idea and immediately took the pen and began writing everything she would tell Eric if he was right here with her . It took her a while to figure out how to write down everything she was feeling , but she decided to just write .

" Eric –

My darling darling boy , I can't believe that we are getting married today . It doesn't seem like very long ago that you gave me that little promise ring , and a key to your house . But really , it's been almost a year and a half . So much has changed since then . In a good way of course . Soon , I'll be Calleigh Delko . Are you ready to be married to me forever ? Because I can't wait to be married to you .

With all my Heart ,

Calleigh "

As she closed up the journal and walked into the kitchen to make some lunch the doorbell rang again . She walked open and unlocked the door . It was Horatio , right on time . She opened the door and gave him a hug .

"Hey Calleigh , Are you ready to get married ?"

She laughed and grabbed the journal off the coffee table . " I can't wait , but I have too . "

" Only four more hours . "

" Yeah , only ." She gave him another hug . " Thank you for doing this . "

" No problem , I think Natalia will be bringing it next . " He told her as he left .

She closed the door and leaned up against it . It seemed almost lonely without anyone in the house with her . She retreated back to the couch and turned on the television , not really watching it , but to make some noise in the quiet house . After a few minutes she turned it off and decided that she would find something to do . Walking into the laundry room , she did every bit of laundry , had it washed , dried , folded and put away in a half hour . For the first time in her life she thought it was too bad that she didn't let dirty clothes build up .

She saw the grocery list on the fridge and thought about going shopping but she only had about a half hour until the girls would be here and that definitely wasn't enough time to get everything on the list .

Calleigh grabbed a package of cookies from the cabinet and poured herself a glass of milk , emptying the gallon and adding that to the list . She ate the cookie she had plus 4 more and realized that she absolutely hated pecans and almonds , but those were the best cookies she had eaten in a long time .

She tried to figure out what would make her want pecans and then it hit her .. she ran to the bathroom and riffled through the medicine cabinet , knowing very well she wouldn't have a pregnancy test . It hadn't even occurred to her what the date was . She wasn't even late , she wasn't supposed to get her period for like 2 weeks , but still . You don't always miss your period . Things had gotten pretty heated last week and the whole waiting until they were married thing , went out the window . They used a condom , but it's not like she was on birth control and accidents happen . Was she ready for a baby ? Did Eric even want kids ? She sat on the floor of the bathroom with tears in her eyes for a while before she got up the nerve to take it . She finally stood up and brushed herself off , when the doorbell rang .

She ran over to open it and saw just Natalia standing there .

" Hey . What's wrong ? " She saw the tears in Calleigh's eyes and knew right away that something was wrong .

She just shook her head and walked over to the couch . Natalia followed her and sat down gently next to her .

" Calleigh , you need to tell me , Alexx and Maxine will be here soon and if they see you like this , it's going to be a lot worse . "

She took a deep breath and then let it out slowly .

" I might be pregnant . "

" What ?! "

" Well , I just ate pecan and almond cookies and I absolutely hate them , I just got a craving for them . I don't know . It's just ... I got really scared and got myself all worked up about it , and now I am convinced that I'm pregnant . "

" Are you going to take a pregnancy test ? "

" I was going to ask you to buy me one when you took this back to Eric . It would be really great if you could wait for him to respond then bring it back . Maybe pick one up on your way back ?

" Of Course . " She handed Calleigh the journal and waited on the couch as she walked back into the bathroom and slumped on the bathroom floor .

" Calliegh –

Only 4 hours left ! I wish you were here with me , but I hope you are having fun with Natalia , I told her to come over a bit early so you wouldn't be too lonely . I hope you have fun getting all done up . By the way , have you packed for our honeymoon yet ? "

She read his entry and laughed . Of course he would try and hide the fact that he still hadn't packed for the honeymoon .

'Oh well ', she thought. 'We might be having some bigger problems.'

" Eric –

Yes I've packed , and I know you haven't yet . I packed for you in my unknown hours of boredom while you were gone . Now , I know we haven't talked about this , but do you want kids?

Calleigh "

She walked back out into the living room and handed it solemnly back to Natalia who gave her a long hug before she walked out the front door .

" I'll be back in 20 minutes at the longest . "
