I apologize for not updating earlier. I've had a . . .busy/disastrous week.

There was a tie vote on the pregnancy issue, so see what I did.

Ch. 12

"Are you mad?" Calleigh asked.

"NO of course not. I could never be mad at you for something like that,"

BBRRIINNGG Eric's cell phone rang.

"Delko here,"

"Eric this is Horatio. We have a major case, can you and Calleigh come in?"

"Sure, 30 minutes ok?"

"Great go strait to 4937 Garnsneil Lane,"

"Hey Cal that was Horatio. He needs us to go in, is that ok?"

"Yeah sure that's fine. But we need to talk about this at some point,"

"I wouldn't try not to,"

Calleigh changed into her work clothes, much to Eric's delight. He stared at her belly maybe a little longer than necessary, but he couldn't really help it. The thought of her having his child made him feel like he was on cloud 9.

They rode to work each lost in thought. Eric was happy, wondering about parenthood, but Calleigh was afraid. What if Eric was mad? Would he help her raise the child? How could this have happened? Well, she knew how babies were made she just never thought she would get pregnant. They had used protection every time, but . . . oh shit, they hadn't once!

They were about to get out of the car, when Calleigh blurted "Eric, really, are you mad, or scared or unhappy or anything like that?"

"No, Cal, to be honest I like it," He said sheepishly. "I never tried for this to happen, but the fact that it did doesn't bother me.

"Really?"

"Really," he said and then leaned in and kissed her.

Ryan could tell something was up. Eric looked really distracted, and Calleigh looked really frustrated, "Ryan hurry UP!" she had snapped at him, as he picked up the murder weapon, a knife that was covered in the vic's blood.

"Calleigh calm down, everything will be fine,"

"What will be fine?" Ryan asked. He could tell that they didn't want him to know, but he was worried about his friends.

"None of your business, now stop being nosy and get back to work,"

"Yesh," Ryan said, but he did as he was told.

"Here I'll take this back to the lab and print it, do y'all mind finishing up here?"

"Sure, sorry Ryan," Calleigh apologized.

"No problem, have fun,"

Ryan wondered what on earth was going on, so he decided to ask Natalia, she might know. "Hey, Nat can I ask you something,"

"Fire,"

"Do you know if anything is going on between Eric and Calleigh?"

"Besides them dating?"

"Yes,"

"I don't think so, why?"

"They both have been acting weird, very stressed," Ryan said.

"Hmm, that's odd I'll see what I can find out," Natalia vowed, as she left and went on her merry way.

"Hey Calleigh,"

"Hey Natalia,"

"Was it a bloody crime scene?"

"There was some blood, why?"

"How much?"

"A little why?"

"Um, lets go to the bathroom ok,"

"Um, sure? Why?"

"Look Natalia said as she positioned Calleigh in front of the mirror so that she could see her behind,"

"Oh god" Calleigh said as she looked at her bloody pants, which use to be all white.

"Calleigh, you looked relieved, is there something you're not telling me?"

"Natalia . . ." Calleigh said rather reluctantly, "I though I was pregnant."

Natalia stared speechless at her. Well apparently had a knack of giving girls' pregnancy scares, but she decided now wasn't the best time to say that. Maybe she would later though . . .

"Calleigh, what would you have done if you were pregnant?"

"Raised the child, of course."

"How?"

"I don't know,"

"Hey Eric can I talk to you," Calleigh said as she walked into his lab with a jacket around her waist.

"Sure,"

"Um, lets go to the locker room,"

"Ok," He said. He could tell that it had to do with what she told him earlier that morning, so privacy was probably a good idea.

Once they got there they sat down next to eachother on the bench. They wouldn't be disturbed here because it was in the middle of the work day.

"Calleigh what's wrong, you being pregnant isn't the end of the world, it is just a change,"

"Eric, about that . . . I'm not pregnant. I, well, had to change my pants today."

"Are you ok with that? I'm happy as long as you are happy,"

"I'm fine, but Eric, can I ask you something now?"

"If I were pregnant, would you be happy?"

"I would be very happy, as long as you were."

They sat there for a while, Calleigh resting her head on Eric's shoulder ad he rubbed her back. Then she looked up at him, her emerald eyes captivating him.

"Eric, out of curiosity, would you have preferred a boy or a girl?"

"I wouldn't have cared . . . but . . ." He slowly bent down and kissed her. It was a long, slow, sweet perfect kiss. It showed love.

"I love you Calleigh, I always have and always will." He said as he kissed her again.

"I love you," Calleigh said then kissed him again, this time more passionately

There is your Valentines Day Present. Did you like it? I was going to do something else, but I did this because I wanted something that was love, not lust.

I decided to put off deciding whether she would get pregnant until later,

But she obviously isn't right now.

I deeply apologize for not updating sooner, I've had a hectic week:

Tests, a guy that kept trying to get me to have sex with him, and my iPod broke. None of which helped with my mood.

I'm not sure where to got with the story from here,

So ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Please Review! Thanks for all of you that have.

I'd rather not go into the details in reviews, but I will in PM's.
