It was in the afternoon and Ryan and Horatio were watching TV on the couch. Then there was a knock on the door. Horatio got up and went and opened the door.
"Hey,"said Calleigh and Eric as Horatio invited them in. "Hey Ryan,how are you doing,"asked Calleigh while smiling at him.
"I'm doing great. Absolutely great,"said Ryan sarcastically. Calleigh and Eric just looked at Horatio.
"This is guy talk,lets talk Ry,"said Eric putting his hand on his shoulder. "Do you know what it's about,"asked Ryan examinig Eric.
He bent down to Ryan's level and whispered in his ear,"Natalia."
Ryan nodded and they looked at Horatio and Calleigh. "Natalia,"they both said.
Ryan and Eric looked at them with shock on their faces. "Do you think they know,"asked Ryan whispering to Eric eyes still on the two.
"Oh yeah,we know."said Calleigh with a smile on her face.
The two boys looked at each other then back to the other two. Ryan suddenly started to blush.
"It's okay Ryan,you guys are already going out,so there's no secret,"said Calleigh.
"I just don't want Stetler finding out or other people for that matter."
They talked for two more hours. "Okay,we need to get heading back to the lab,see ya two soon,"said Eric heading out the door.
"I'm bored,"said Ryan while turning off the TV since there was nothing good on.
Horatio remembered these times when he was younger. He'd be sick,grounded,or on a road trip and he would get very antsy after a while indoors.
"What do you wanna do,"asked Horatio retaking his place on the couch.
"I wanna go shopping,see movies,go out to eat,go to the lab and socialize."
"Ryan,we can't do those things. If we go out to eat you'll throw up. If we go shopping or see the movies,you'll probably get sick or you'll get tired. We defiantly can't go to the lab,specially to socialize. We are taking time off,"said Horatio knowing Ryan already knew those things.
"But I"m bored,"said Ryan who was getting very frustrated.
"I don't know what to tell ya can take a shower,"said Horatio knowing Ryan would fall for that. Ryan's response was getting up and walking towards the bathroom and started the water. Horatio had to think of something to keep his boy entertained.
No matter how old his son was,he always got antsy when he had to stay inside for more than two days with nothing to do. Horatio was pulled out of his thoughts when the water stopped.
He waited for five minutes and the water never came back on. He went to the bathroom to check on it. The door was open slightly. He tapped gently on the door to make sur it wouldn't open any more not knowing if his son was decent.
"Ryan,you okay,Ryan,"asked Horatio.
"I'm fine dad,"said Ryan.
"I thought you said you were taking a shower."
"I was,but then I got tired of standing so I'm taking a bath."
Horatio just walked away from the door. Leave it to his son to improvise to get his way.
After thirty minutes,he heard Ryan getting out of the tub.
Ryan was getting out of the tub,then fell on a puddle of water on the floor.
"You okay Ryan?"
"Just dandy." He got back up then fell face first into the tub.
"Ryan,do you need any help?"
With no response,he went back to the bathroom. "Ryan." There was no response.
He opened the door and saw Ryan in the tub and noticed blood.
Horatio ran over to him and pulled him out of the water and put him on the floor.
He wasn't breathing,oh my gosh,he wasn't breathing thought Horatio.
He listened to his lungs with his ears and noticed he had water in them. He automatically started doing CPR.
He still wasn't breathing.
