Morning sunshine came in through the open shade and bathed Eric and Calliegh in a yellow glow. Eric felt the morning warmth from the sun and from Calliegh as well. Eric tightened his hold on Calliegh and kissed the top of her head.

"Morning princess." Eric said.

"Hey there you." Calliegh answered and snuggled up against Eric even tighter.

"We both don't work today because after you're doctor's appointment yesterday, I called Horatio and I asked for us to have the day off. He said sure because we don't have any active cases." Eric told her.

Calliegh was shocked that there were no cases and smiled because she already had an idea brewing on how tell the team. Eric picked up on the cute little smile on Calliegh's face.

"Care to share on why you have the cutest little smile on your face?" Eric asked her.

Calliegh chuckled and hugged Eric and kissed him. "You will soon find out my love." Calliegh said getting out of Eric's embrace and went to the kitchen.

Eric laughed to himself and got into the shower. While Eric was in the shower, Calliegh cooked up a breakfast of eggs, toast, and bacon. Eric emerged form the bathroom half dressed, his shirt around his neck. Calliegh admired his toned back and his six-pack abs.

Calliegh was at the counter and gasped when she felt the tender touch of Eric as he came up behind her and wrapped her in a loving hug. Calliegh leaned into him and sighed.

"Why the sigh Calliegh? What is wrong?" Eric asked her, concern in his voice.

Calliegh turned in his embrace and brushed her hands across his chest and those perfect abs. Calliegh looked up into his dark eyes and smiled. She placed her lips onto his and the two shared an intimate kiss before Calliegh answered his two questions.

"It is a happy sigh not a sad sigh, I am so happy that you are okay, I am okay, and our babies are okay. Plus I love you with all of my heart and I am glad we are together." Calliegh said, getting choked up at the end. The tears were starting to drip from her sharp green eyes.

Eric took her face in his hands and kissed each tear as they fell from her beautiful eyes. Eric kissed his bride to be very passionately and they parted when they heard a knock at the front door. Sighing Eric opened the door. Calliegh turned the burner off of the stove and dished out their morning breakfast.

Calliegh got the surprise of her life when Horatio walked into the kitchen. "Morning Horatio. Would you like some breakfast? I can make you some." Calliegh said.

"Morning right back at you Calliegh. As for breakfast I am okay, I have already eaten, but thank you." Horatio replied to his firearms specialist. Calliegh nodded and smiled at him.

"So Horatio what brings you here this morning?" Eric asked his brother in law.

"Just seeing how my two best CSI's are doing since Eric has come back." Horatio replied.

Eric said, "We are doing great Horatio. Thank you. Calliegh and I have put what happened behind us and are moving forward. We have set a date for our wedding; it is going to be the 30th of May."

"I will definitely be there and give you my blessing. Also Calliegh, would you allow me the honor of giving you away?" Horatio asked Calliegh.

Calliegh replied "You beat me to it Horatio. I was going to ask you tomorrow, but yes I would be honored if you would give me away." Calliegh walked over and gave him a kiss and a hug. Eric smiled at how happy and excited Calliegh looked and he couldn't wait to make her his wife.

"Horatio, can you get the team together tonight for a dinner party here at my house?" Calliegh asked Horatio. "Sure can Calliegh, I will let them all know. Would you like me to invite Alex as well?" Horatio asked. Calliegh nodded and excused herself to the upstairs bathroom.

Eric let Horatio out and went to the upstairs bathroom where he could hear the sounds of Calliegh getting sick. Eric opened the door and wrapped his arms around her still small frame as she leaned against him for support. A couple of minutes went by and Calliegh wriggled out of his embrace and upchucked again. Eric got concerned when he saw the tiny drops of blood in the puke. Calliegh saw them too and concern and fear were very apparent on her face. Not trying to panic and upset Calliegh even more he took out his phone and dialed 911 for an ambulance. In a few minutes Eric and Calliegh heard the sirens arrive, the door open, and a familiar voice calling to them. Eric yelled "Horatio we are up here in the upstairs bathroom! Please hurry and get up here." Horatio climbed the stairs two at a time and discovered Eric holding a very pale and sick Calliegh, who was sobbing into Eric's embrace. Calliegh was loaded into the ambulance with Eric and Horatio following behind in the Hummer.

Calliegh was rushed to the hospital where she was hooked up to an IV and had tests done on her to find out why she puked up blood. While this was happening, Eric was in the waiting room with Horatio where he told him that Calliegh is pregnant and expecting twins. Horatio smiled and said, "I could tell Calliegh is because she is glowing with love." Eric nodded and said, "She wants to tell the whole team so act like you don't know anything." Horatio nodded and looked up as the doctor came in. Eric jumped up and said, "What did the test results reveal? Is Calliegh and the twins okay?"

"Mr. Delko, regarding the test results, Calliegh has had a reaction to the anti-puking medicine that I previously prescribed. No harm has come to the twins so they are not in any danger. Calliegh is very weak and I am going to keep her here for a couple of days. You are welcome to stay with her here." The doctor replied and left the room. Eric looked at Horatio and breathed a sigh of relief. Horatio gave his brother in law a reassuring hug. Eric hugged back tightly and was trying to not to cry. Horatio noticed and whispered into his ear to let it go. Eric let the tears fall as he waited for the doctor to return to let him know that Calliegh was set up in the room.

Eric and Horatio walk into the room where Calliegh is in and is sleeping peacefully. Eric whispered to Horatio to get the rest of the team and meet him back there in a couple of hours. Horatio nods and leaves the room. Eric lies down next to Calliegh and manages to get his arms around her without disturbing her or so he thought. Calliegh feels the movement and opens her eyes. Eric looks down at her and said, "Hey there beautiful how are you feeling? By the way you scared the crap out of me." Calliegh started crying and sobbed into his chest and clung to him for what seemed to Eric for dear life. Eric tightened his grip on her to send her a message that he understood. Calliegh finally calmed down after a good hour of non-stop crying. "I am feeling much better and I am glad that I am not puking anymore thanks to this new anti-nausea medicine that won't harm the twins. I am sorry I scared the crap out of you. I was just as scared as you were. I thought I was going to lose the twins and then if that happened thought I was going to lose you too." Calliegh answered Eric and started crying after the last part she said to him. With his heart breaking at the words Calliegh was saying, Eric kissed Calliegh with all the passion and intensity he could without hurting her. Calliegh kissed back with the same passion level as she could muster, both of them having tears in their eyes. Eric pulls back and says, "You could never lose me. I am here to stay through the thick and thin. I am not going anywhere." With that said he ended any doubt that Calliegh had with a super hot passionate electrifying kiss that took her breath away and caused butterflies in her stomach.

Calliegh heard a soft knock on the door and she looked up as the entire team came into the room. Calliegh and Eric smiled at the team and said that Calliegh is recovering well. Alex said, "So Calliegh, when are you due?" Calliegh looked shocked and surprised. Before she could answer, Alex said, "Honey, I am a doctor and I can see the signs, nice try." Calliegh just laughed and said, "But I had this plan to tell all you guys tonight over a homemade dinner. But my body had other plans I see." The team all said their congrats and they could see Calliegh was getting tired and weak again.

Horatio shooed everyone out and shut the door to the hospital room. A nurse came in and told Eric that visiting hours were over and he had to leave. Calliegh got all panicky and Eric noticed that her heart monitor was starting to beep the warning beeps. Calliegh didn't want Eric to leave, and she started to cry, clinging to Eric. Alex came back in to say goodnight to Eric and Calliegh. She could see Calliegh was crying. "Calliegh sweetie what is wrong?" Too upset to answer her, Eric said, "Visiting hours are over and I have to leave." Alex said, "No you don't. I work part time here and I am giving the okay for you to stay with her. She needs you and you are staying with her." Eric smiled and said, "Thank you Alex." "No problem, Eric." Alex said leaving the room. The nurse just shook her head and left. Seeing that Eric wasn't going to leave, Calliegh curled up into a ball snuggled up tight against Eric and fell asleep. Eric wiped the tears off of her face and soon drifted off to sleep as well.

Chapter 12 coming soon. Calliegh comes home in next chapter. Hope you all stick around.
