Chapter 11
At seven thirty Horatio was ready and left his apartment to pick Calleigh up for eight with just enough time to make a quick stop. At seven forty five Calleigh was applying the final touches to her hair and make up, making sure she looked just right. Just as she had decided she looked ok she heard a knock at the door. She went to answer it, and for the first time she realised she was nervous. She had decided on wearing a black dress that stopped just above her knee and then slanted down diagonally to a few inches below her knee, the top of the dress was cut in a V showing just a little cleavage, her shoes were strappy black heels she thought went well with the black dress.
She opened the door and Horatio was stood leaning quite comfortably against the door frame. He was wearing a dark navy blue suit with a light blue shirt that brought out the amazing blue of his eyes, he stood up and presented her with a bouquet of red roses and a soft kiss,
'You look beautiful',
Calleigh was speechless, she stepped out the way to let him in while she went to find a vase for the roses.
She came back from the kitchen with the roses in a glass vase and placed it in the middle of the table in the living room.
When she went back to Horatio he brought out a small rectangle shaped box and handed it to her, Calleigh gasped,
'Oh, Horatio, I didn't get you anything', he smiled,
'No that's ok, you've given me the best present I could ever want', and he placed a hand on her stomach and smiled as she took the box. She opened it and gasped,
'Horatio it beautiful'.
It was a silver necklace with tiny diamonds studded into it and a bigger diamond in the centre of the smaller ones. Horatio smiled,
'Here, let me', He took the necklace and she turned around moving her long blonde hair out of the way so he could place the necklace around her neck. He turned her back around so he could admire how beautiful she was, he smiled and she smiled too, he kissed her again, a soft lingering kiss.
'Are you ready?', he asked, she nodded and he gave her his arm which she took still smiling and they headed down to his hummer.
When they got to the restaurant Horatio gave his name and the waiter took them to their table, they enjoyed dinner, talking about work, memories, the looks on the guys faces when they told them about them and the baby.
When they had finished eating, Horatio got up and walked over to Calleigh, he took a deep breath and Calleigh could tell he was nervous about something. He went down on one knee and Calleigh gasped and took in a breath, he reached into his suit and brought out a small box for a ring, he opened it up and presented it her and said,
'Calleigh Duquesne, I love you so much, You make me so happy and I want to spend the rest of my life with you,' He took in a breath, and asked her, 'Will you marry me?',
