Two weeks later
Eric and Ryan were carrying boxes with Calleigh's stuff into Horatio's house.
Horatio would have helped, but he would be going back to work in one week, and Calleigh had banned him form doing any heavy lifting. In fear that he would stretch a muscle or something.
Horatio had laughed and told her not to worry.
She had stood her ground though. But what she didn't know was that Horatio was helping the boys anyway. He lifted the boxes out of the hummer and gave it to Eric and Ryan. Calleigh didn't take any furniture with her, so the hummer was big enough to use for all her stuff.
Calleigh was in the kitchen making dinner with Alexx and Natalia.
They were going to have a small party later at night.
"Where is Frank, I thought he was going to help moving your stuff in here?" Natalia asked.
"Yeah, but he had a date last night." Calleigh grinned.
"I called him an hour ago." Alexx said, "I woke him up." She grinned.
"So the date was successful." Natalia smiled.
Alexx nodded.
"Oh yes, I don't know who this woman is, but he is really in love with her." She said.
"Every time Horatio asks how Frank's girlfriend is doing, Frank blushed like crazy." Calleigh chuckled.
"Does she have a name?" Nat asked.
"Only Horatio knows." Alexx said, "Frank wants to take things a bit slow, and wants to be sure that things can actually led somewhere before he introduces her to us." She said.
"I think that's good. Considering it was a long time ago that Frank was in a serious relationship." Calleigh said.
Alexx and Natalia nodded in agreement.
"Where's Horatio?" Alexx asked.
"He should be in the living room." Calleigh said, "Please go and check Nat. I hope he hasn't run off somewhere."
Natalia went to check and came back with a grin in her face.
"What?" Calleigh asked.
"He's not there Cal." Natalia said.
Calleigh growled.
"I think I know where he is." She said and walked out in the hallway and then out the door, towards the Hummer with her stuff in it.
She saw Horatio and walked towards him.
He saw an angry Calleigh coming towards him and grinned. He was in trouble now.
"Horatio, I thought I told you not to do any heavy lifting?" She asked.
"Calleigh. I'm fine. I'm not going to get hurt." He smiled.
"But you could stretch a muscle." She said.
"I won't." He smiled.
Calleigh slapped his head.
"Okay." Horatio said and moved inside the house with her.
"You will be a great mother Calleigh." Natalia chuckled.
"Not great. Awesome." Horatio smiled and received a kiss from Calleigh."You're just saying that so I won't stay mad at you." Calleigh smiled.
"No, absolutely not." Horatio said, "Maybe a little bit." He smiled.
"You know I can't stay mad at you." Calleigh smiled and hugged him.
Horatio hugged back.
"No, go and buy me the things that I'm craving." Calleigh smiled.
Horatio chuckled and walked out of the house. There was a small store not far away, so he didn't need a car.
"Where is H going?" Ryan asked Eric.
"Probably to buy Calleigh her new favorite food." Eric grinned.
"What is that?" Ryan asked.
"Cookies with Ketchup and pepper." Eric said.
Ryan grimaced.
"Oh, that can't be good." He said, "It sounds disgusting."
"Yeah, well pregnant women and their cravings." Eric smiled, "It will be fun to tell her abut once the babies are born." He smirked.
"Yeah, she'll probably feel sick, just like I do now." Ryan said.
Eric laughed.
-I-
It was now later in the evening and everybody had just eaten.
"So Frank, tell us about that mystery woman of yours." Alexx grinned.
Frank sighed.
"Alright. Her name is Kim Burton. She is 41 and works as a university professor. She's teaching history." Frank said.
"How long have you been seeing each other?" Nat asked.
"Not long, only two weeks." Frank said.
"What is she like?" Calleigh asked.
"She's funny, smart and calm, but she can also get crazy sometimes." Frank said, "I think in fact that you girls will get along just perfect." He grinned.
"Great!" Calleigh smiled.
"Have you two decided any names yet?" Frank asked Calleigh and Horatio.
"If it's two boys, we have decided on Horatio JR and Donovan." Calleigh smiled.
"We? You have decided." Horatio grinned.
"Yeah, I did." She chuckled
"Horatio JR? That's cute." Alexx smiled.
"I grew up hating my name." Horatio said.
"But it's such a cute name." Calleigh smiled. Horatio chuckled.
"And if it's two girls?" Natalia asked.
"Amanda and Robyn." Horatio smiled.
"You do realize that you won't get much sleep?" Frank smiled.
"Yeah, we are prepared for that. But you know that not all kids are like yours Frank." Horatio smiled.
"What?" Ryan asked, "How were Frank kids when they were born?"
"They were screaming all the time. And they still do. They have always had a lot of energy." Frank said. "They're a handful." Alexx chuckled.
"Wow, can you imagine H and Cal's children?" Eric asked.
"Yeah, both their parents have a lot of energy. They're going to be smart, love guns and explosions and use sunglasses all the times." Ryan chuckled.
"Yeah, you two will get copies of yourselves." Alexx smiled.
Horatio and Calleigh laughed and kissed each other.
Life was perfect.
B was sent to a mental facility on undermined time. The case is closed. But police will continue to ask her questions about Alan. Hopefully her treatment will make it easier for them to get some answer to all the questions they have.
THE END
AN: Alright, that was the end to the first story in my H/C Universe.
I'm currently working on a sequel that I have no title for yet.
But I have a summary:
Calleigh and Horatio will have their twins any day now. Will the twins be alright? And what happens when B escapes from the mental facility? Alexx is having trouble in her marriage.
