Chapter 12
Chapter 12.
Natalia came out and Ryan and Horatio at once ask: What did we get.
"A little girl that looked like Calleigh with her emerald eyes, and a boy with brown eyes, both are perfect, princess did good" said Natalia proudly, but her eyes look sad.
"I still getto name one right" said Kyle hopefully.
"Yes of course" said Natalia and winked at him.
"What about me?" asked Horatio.
"Nat is Cal ok?" Eric suddenly asked.
"She's, she's" said Natalia and fell apart.
"She didn't die did she?" asked Horatio concerned that it all may have been to much.
"Her heart it stopped, they are still working on her" Natalia said, her voice was shivering.
"What" everyone said looking at her.
"You mean bulletgirl may be lost, I mean really lost" said Ryan, his voice was shivering as tears were appareling in his eyes.
"Yes, I need to, would you all give me a moment" said Natalia and run towards the door.
"Poor girl, you think she will pull through if Calleigh don't" said Julia.
"No" said Horatio thinking "Neither will I".
"Dad, it's gonna be ok, she'll pull through, I know she will" said Kyle and looked at Horatio.
"I hope you are right" said Horatio although he wasn't to sure.
It was 4 am in the morning, Natalia was sleeping, her head resting on Calleigh's bed, Horatio and Kyle were leaning against each other sitting on the floor beside the door, while Ryan were leaning against the wall next to the baby boy's bed, the others had gone home hours ago.
The tiny girl opened her eyes and looked up roof and slightly to the side at the rest wondering why they were sleeping when she was hungry so she started to scream loudly.
Calleigh who were now breathing on her own, but still hooked up to a machine was woken by her daughters angry screams and slowly raised and looked at the sleeping people and smiled, before she slowly got out on the other side of the bed on shaky legs not to wake Natalia as she walked over to her daughter while she dragged the machine she was hooked up to silently along.
"Hey there little one, you're hungry huh" she said and picked her up and lead her to her breast and the little girl started to eat hungrily while Calleigh looked down into her son's crib, he was sleeping, he looked so tiny, but still much like his father. Calleigh looked over at Horatio, he snorted and funnily enough so did Kyle and the little baby boy which made Calleigh smile even more before her eyes went down to her daughter feeding on her breast, it felt weird, but right.
Her daughter was done so Calleigh lifted her up and looked into her green eyes before she burped her then she said: You sure are a little miracle you know that, look at your dad and your brothers such sleepy heads, but not us right little one.
The baby looked at her and gurgled to replay as Natalia got woken up by the sound of Calleigh's voice slowly opened her eyes and looked at her.
"Princess" she whispered.
"Hey angel" said Calleigh and sat down at the side of the bed and gently let her fingers stroke her hair.
"You scared me you know that, I thought I was gonna loose you for sure" she said.
"I'm sorry I didn't mean to scare you like that, I was just feeling really outta place, feeling a bit better now, but my body is aching, oh little one this is your mother" said Calleigh and hold the little girl so she could look at Natalia.
"Hey there cutie" said Natalia and smiled at her when Calleigh said: Someone needs to be changed.
"UMF" they suddenly heard from the floor as Horatio sank down on the floor and Kyle sank down in front of him with another umf and there was a third umf from the baby boy.
"What is their problem" said Natalia with a giggle.
"No idea, but would you get the nurse so someone can unhook this thing and we can change her and eat I'm so very hungry" said Calleigh.
"Be back really soon" said Natalia gave her a kiss and left.
"She will you know since she never leaves my side as she loves me to much" said Calleigh and gently rocked the baby girl in her arms.
A few moments later Natalia and Calleigh were sitting in the cafeteria at the hospital eating when Calleigh asked: So what should we name this little one.
"Can't we just call them little one one and little one two" said Natalia with a giggle.
"Very funny and yours would then be little one three" said Calleigh.
"Exactly, but I dunno, first we gotto ask what name Kyle has in mind" said Natalia.
"Let's go and ask as I'm done" said Calleigh.
"Mhm" said Natalia and they started to walk back when she added: Never knew I could love anyone so much.
"Should I be jealous" said Calleigh when they heard loud laughter from her room.
"No since it's a different kind of love and there is no one I could love higher than you, wonder what they are laughing about" said Natalia.
"Only one way to find out" said Calleigh and opened the door and saw Ryan and Kyle almost laughing their heads of and asked: What's so funny.
"Horatio was gonna change a diaper and this little guy pissed all over him" said Kyle.
"This is so not funny and hey you're up" said Horatio and turned towards them.
"It is, oh Kyle we were wondering which one are you naming" said Calleigh and smiled at Horatio holding the little boy.
"Her if you don't mind" said Kyle.
"No, let's hear it then" said Calleigh.
"Her name is Gabriella Marisol Boa Vista Duquesne, like it?" he said hopefully.
"I love it, what about you" said Natalia.
"I do, then we need to name him" said Calleigh.
"How bout Horatio Jr" said Horatio.
"Not a chance" said Natalia.
"What shall we name him" said Calleigh thoughtfully.
"How bout Thor" said Ryan.
But Calleigh wrinkled her nose when she looked at Natalia and they both said: Heathcliff.
"I won't have you call him that" said Horatio.
"To bad as it's our son and you don't have a say in it, now give him her so I can feed him" said Calleigh.
"But Heathcliff that's stupid" he objected as he handed the boy over.
"No it's cool, Heathcliff Boa Vista Duquesne, oh so you are hungry" said Calleigh as he feed on her breast.
"I don't like it" said Horatio.
"Well that don't matter as you are not gonna be a part" Calleigh stopped.
"Can you all excuse us we need to talk" said Natalia.
"Fine be that way I need to work" said Horatio annoyed.
"I think it's cute" said Kyle and smiled at them.
"It really is, do you need a lift" said Ryan.
"No, but thanks" said Kyle as they walked out.
Horatio just looked annoyed at them before he started to walk out when Calleigh said: Don't be angry giraffe, just give me a bit more time.
"Umf" he snorted and left.
A couple of days later Calleigh were in the firearms lab ready to test fire a gun when she heard the two babies scream like crazy.
"But my little ones what is wrong" she asked and lifted up Gabriella to hold calm her down.
"They as their mother don't like their father I'm sure" said Horatio from behind her.
Calleigh startled a bit, but said: Don't think they mind you all that much, do you my little ones" said Calleigh and smiled down at the little girl in her arms.
"Then why are they always screaming as soon as I come into the room, they seem to like everyone else" he said as Ryan, Natalia and Calleigh switched on having the children when they worked.
"I dunno, you like your daddy don't you Gabbi" said Calleigh and looked at her daughter.
"They don't know me as you live with Natalia and Ryan and you won't even let me near the house not when you carried them and not now, even Kyle are more with them than I am" he said.
"Don't be that way, would you hold her while I feed him" said Calleigh and handed Gabriella over, she was starting to feel badly since she knew he was right.
Horatio held her looking her in the eyes and without warning she took her little hand and slapped his face, Horatio sighed and said: That's not very nice of you little one.
Calleigh let out a giggle as she let Heathcliff suckle on her breast while Gabriella gurgled happily and hit Horatio again.
"Hey what did I just tell you" he said, but she just looked happily at him.
At that moment his phone rang, he quickly answered before he said: So do you want to come with daddy to a crime scene little one.
She hit him again and Calleigh said: Bring her along I'm ok with it.
"I won't show her the body" he said.
"Have fun Gabbi" she said as Horatio gave her a peck on the check and left with Gabriella.
Horatio had just parked the car and said: Can you manage to wait here little one.
But Gabriella started to scream loudly so he said: Ok, ok, I get it.
He got out of the car, put on his shades and lifted Gabriella out of the baby seat before he walked over to Eric and Frank.
"Horatio, this isn't a place for a baby" said Frank a bit surprised that Calleigh had actually let him have the baby.
"Well I couldn't leave her alone in the car now could I angel" he said to Gabbi that gurgled happily looking curiously at his shades.
"But it's a dead person and she could get trauma from it" said Frank.
"Not my choice to raise her at the lab" said Horatio honest.
"But to bring her here, H that isn't right" said Eric.
"Can you understand what they are bugging me about angel" said Horatio to Gabriella that just then grabbed for his shades and managed to get them of him and started to suckle on them.
Eric laughed and said: I think she likes your shades H.
"So it would appear, so what do we got here?" he asked and looked at a dead woman with no visible wounds.
"Odd wound tracks something for Calleigh to look at later and a misplaced gun" said Eric.
"Did you hear that Gabbi, mummy is gonna work with this later on" he said.
"You're hopeless so are you staying to process the scene or going back with the body?" Eric asked.
"We are going back with the body and meeting aunt Julia later, yes we are" said Horatio in a soft tone.
"Ok I better start to process" said Eric.
"Yes, see you later since as we are meeting Julia for lunch" said Horatio.
"You sure spend a lot of time with Julia" said Frank.
"Well she's a beautiful and intelligent woman and mother of my son" said Horatio and walked back to the Hummer and drove of.
"Isn't she just the cutest" said Horatio to Julia over lunch.
"She really is, but I never figure Calleigh would dress her daughter in pink" said Julia and smiled at him.
"Bet Natalia had something to say in it" said Horatio and smiled back.
"Do you still wish to have one with me?" she suddenly asked.
"I don't see why not" he said without really knowing why.
"You sure, I don't want you backing out half way if you get second thoughts" she said in a serious tone.
"No I would never do that" he said honestly.
"Good so when do you want to start trying?" she asked.
"I don't have anything planned tonight" he said.
"Oh is that so, I though we were going out to eat" she said.
"You know what I meant" he said.
"I did, just teasing you" she said and gave him a soft kiss.
"I know" he said and gave her a smile.
"So when do you have to get back?" she asked, her hand was now on top of his.
"In twenty minutes or so why?" he asked.
"I was thinking about maybe getting her some more fitting clothes" said Julia.
"Hmmmm" he said.
"Oh come on, she's Celli's little girl and should look thereafter" said Julia.
"Ok, ok, so I guess this means that will get broke again" he said with a sigh.
"Very funny as I know for a fact you don't mind" she said and gave him a soft kiss before they got up and left.
Calleigh was in the break room with little Heathcliff when she heard Horatio say: So there you are I have been looking all over for you.
"I was hungry, very hungry, so how is my little" she stopped when she saw her little girl, instead of the pink dress she was now wearing a pink t-shirt with a gun a white jacket and a matching pair of white pants with a tiny holster with the tiniest little gun she had ever seen on one side and a little id badge on the other.
In fact her outfit was a shocking resemblance to what Calleigh now was wearing so she asked: What did you do have a tailor make it.
"No Julia did I just paid" he said honestly.
"Why?" she asked still shocked.
"Julia seemed to think that since she's your daughter she should look that way" he said.
"She's adorable either way, yes you are" said Calleigh and took Gabriella and kissed her gently.
"She is, so how is Natalia doing?" he asked as she was at the moment home and it was late in her pregnancy and Calleigh wouldn't take the risk of her getting hurt in any way if anything should happen at work.
"She's doing just fine, we should expect to have one more little one in a week or so" she said and smiled at him.
"And she's ok with being at home" said Horatio.
"Think so, hope so, she's just want the little one to be born" said Calleigh with a sigh.
"She's bored" said Horatio.
"Very much so, and annoyed because of it" said Calleigh.
"Not going well?" he asked.
"I shouldn't have said anything, but I'm going home for the day as I'm still tired after the birth and need get home and get some rest" said Calleigh with a sigh, took the two baby seats and walked out of the firearms lab while he watched her thoughtfully.
When Calleigh came home she sat down the baby seats and went into the bedroom to rest when she found Natalia in bed, she could tell by her grimy checks she had at some point been crying, but now she was sound a sleep so Calleigh let out a sigh and slowly closed her eyes to get some rest to since the babies to were sleeping to a change.
Natalia got woken by Heathcliff screaming like crazy, she looked over at Calleigh who was sleeping peacefully wondering how she could do that when her little boy was screaming.
Natalia let out a huff and got out of bed to check on him. Natalia looked down at the little boy and said: So you couldn't let your mummy sleep for a little while, oh I get it you need to be changed.
Natalia lifted him up and carried him over to the bathroom where she changed him and said: There all better my little prince.
He yawned and she said: Sleepy to huh, bet you learned lots at the lab today, let me carry you back so you can get some more sleep.
She was just about to lift him up again when she felt a sharp pain in her abdomen and sank down on the floor holding on to her belly.
"Heathcliff will you please scream so you can wake your mother" Natalia let out as she felt her water break and twisted in pain on the bathroom floor.
The little baby boy looked very much confused yet he didn't scream at all, he just kept on looking confused out in the air when he suddenly heard Calleigh's voice say: Natalia angel.
"Calliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii" Natalia let out in agony as Calleigh reached the bathroom and quickly sat down next to her and supported her so she could lean to her and asked: You want me to call and ambulance or drive you to the hospital?
"Wanna do it here with you if you don't mind, jut put him back in the crib first" said Natalia as she didn't feel like going down to the car at the moment and not she wasn't to keen on everybody else around her either even if she could get drugs to ease her pain, but she figured if Calleigh could handle it with no drugs, so could she.
Calleigh just nodded, carried Heathcliff back to his crib, came back, removed Natalia's pants and underwear before she sat down behind her so Natalia could lean on her.
Natalia groaned a bit before she said: You sure you're ok with this, that I'm doing it like this.
"I am ok with whatever you want my angel, just tell me what you need and when you need it I'm right here the whole time" said Calleigh calmly.
"Need you to hold my hands" said Natalia and Calleigh quickly let her hands find Natalia's so Natalia could squeeze them hardly whenever she got a new contraction.
"It hurts, it really hurts" Natalia whimpered.
"I know my angel I know" said Calleigh and somehow managed to lean Natalia's head back so she could give her a long deep kiss to calm her a little.
"I'm sorry" said Natalia before she let out another groan in pain.
"For what?" Calleigh asked confused.
"For giving you such a hard time lately, I really didn't mean to do that, it's just that this little one, I just want to get her out you know since I'm so tired" said Natalia under a heavy breath.
"I know you are and it's completely ok" said Calleigh and kissed her, Natalia replied and the kiss went on for a while before Natalia broke free to again scream out in pain.
Calleigh looked at Natalia's face it was covered in sweat and tears and it was clear that she was in pain so she said: Want me to try to rub your lover back, it might help.
"Yes, please do, let me just change position first" said Natalia and got on all four so Calleigh could easily access her lower back, Calleigh quickly started to run her lover back and then her spine before she went back to her lower back and let her finders and hands work on in while Natalia let out groans in pain and also some moans in pleasure.
In a little distance the two mothers were aware of their two other babies screaming out for their attention, but neither of them could leave at this moment so they let them scream.
"Any idea where Ryan is?" Natalia asked as she changed position so she lay on her side.
"Not at the moment no" said Calleigh as she keep rubbing her lower back.
"This feels better, only I think it's time to start pushing" said Natalia tiredly as they had now been in the bathroom for seven hours.
"Are you ready" said Calleigh as she held Natalia's hand hardly.
"I am just don't leave me" said Natalia and turned to look at Calleigh.
"Never, so where do you want me to be?" Calleigh asked.
"Down so you can take the baby when she comes" said Natalia.
Calleigh nodded and gave Natalia a kiss before she moved down as Natalia started to push.
As she kept on pushing Calleigh switched between looking for the baby and Natalia's eyes, when she suddenly could see the head of the baby crown and said: I can see the head, just push a little bit more and she will be out, can you do that.
"Yes" said Natalia tiredly and kept on pushing before a little more until Calleigh held a screaming little girl in her arms.
"Oh Natalia she's beautiful, how are you feeling?" Calleigh asked as Natalia pushed out the after birth before she breathed heavily for a while.
"Tired, in a bit of pain still, can you help me clean up and back in bed" said Natalia and smiled at Calleigh holding the little girl.
"Of course, let me just clean her a little and put her aside and I will be right back" said Calleigh and got up from the bathroom floor.
"Of course" said Natalia and let out a sigh.
When Ryan came home a few hours later the was around 11 pm the house was quiet so he assumed the others were a sleep as they used to at that time and had been doing so for at least an hour. He sighed and went into the bathroom to get ready for bed to, his room was a couple of doors down from Natalia and Calleigh's as the room next to theirs belonged to the babies.
He walked upstairs and to the bathroom across the hall and slowly turned on the light when he could feel something was different, but he couldn't quite tell what before he looked at the messy bathroom. Wet towels were everywhere and the floor was still a bit bloody and dirty even though it looked like it had been cleaned fairly well.
"She couldn't have" Ryan though wondering if Natalia have had the baby at home and in so case why hadn't they called him while it was going on since he was after all the father.
He quickly did what he came in to do in the first place before he walked over to Calleigh's and Natalia's room where he slowly opened the door an saw them sleeping closely and peacefully spooning in the dark, quiet room, only they weren't alone, in Natalia's arms his newborn baby girl rested.
Ryan smiled at them, they looked so perfect, at first he wasn't to pleased about them, but when the thought settled it became clear to him that he couldn't find a couple that suited each other so much as Calleigh and Natalia did and with the babies they had even got the family they both wanted and he also figured needed.
Natalia had managed what non of Calleigh's boyfriends had managed to soften her up and make her show more feelings which suited her and also make her happy, and Calleigh on her hand had managed to make the scars from Natalia's previous relationships slowly go away and make her whole.
Ryan looked at the sleeping family and wondered if he could ever get what they had, he felt lucky to be a part of it, even though he could never get either at least he now had a little girl and were half part of it in an odd way.
He took one last look at them wondering why they choose to have the baby alone and why they didn't call, but he figured Calleigh had to have known what she was doing or she wouldn't have let Natalia do it.
He slowly closed the door and went to bed.
Ryan got woken up by baby screams early the next morning and walked into the nursery to check on Heathcliff and Gabriella, he lifted up the little boy and said: You need changing don't you, and I bet you to are a little hungry to, if you can hang on for a second so I can change on this little guy and then I'll come back for you Gabbi.
Gabriella just locked at him gurgling happily as Ryan disappeared with Heathcliff.
A moment later he came back, put Heathcliff down and went to change on Gabriella before he carried them both down to the kitchen to feed them.
The two twins looked at him from the baby seats and Ryan said: Did you know you two got a sister last night.
They looked confused as he heated up their bottles, he just smiled at them and said: She's really cute and I'm her dad, so you got Horatio and she got me.
They looked still confused at him and he said: It's very confusing I know as most babies have one mummy and a daddy, but you got two mummies, a daddy and me.
Gabriella apparently though it had been enough talking so she started to scream out loudly for her bottle, Ryan feed it to her while he though "Thank God Calleigh is pumping her breast for milk or this would never have worked".
Gabriella started to suckle happily on her bottle and so did Heathcliff as Ryan wondered if he should wake up Natalia and Calleigh or leave them be as it would soon be time for work.
"So what do you say little ones, should we wake up your mummies or leave them be" he said and smiled at them.
The two of them were done eating so he burped them before he said: Let's leave them be and you can come with me to work for a change.
Both gurgled happily as he lifted up the baby seats and carried them out to the car.
In another bed in another house in Miami Horatio was watching Julia sleep, her chest was moving slowly up and down and she was letting out some small grunts now and again.
As he watched her his mind started to wander over his relationship with Julia, first they were madly in love which lead to Kyle, then he found her again many years later at the same time as he stumbled over Kyle. Kyle his unknown son, how could she not have told him.
At that point he wouldn't even consider to get involved with her, but after Ron had treated her badly and Calleigh choose Natalia something inside him had changed, it was first then he allowed him self to slowly fall in love with her again.
Julia let out a sigh as she slowly opened her eyes and said: Hey handsome, have you been awake long.
"Not very, slept well?" he asked as he stroke some of her hair away from her face.
"When we finally went to sleep yes, I don't think we have been going at it like that since we were young" she said and gave him a soft kiss.
"We haven't but it felt good, I could have you all day and all night and more" he said and smiled at her.
"That's sweet of you to say, but I think I would be exhausted if you did that" she said and smiled back.
"Hmmm, so do you think we did it" he said.
"To early to say really, but hopefully" she said.
"Then there might be a little Caine in there" he said thoughtfully and stroke her belly.
"Yes it may be a little Horatio in there" she said and kissed him lovingly.
"Hello there little one" he said and kissed her belly gently while Julia giggled a bit as she found it funny.
"We really should get up as we both have to get to work" she said.
"I know, I just spending time in bed with you" he said and gave her another kiss.
"Mind if I have the shower first" she said.
"No, not at all beautiful" he said and gave her a soft kiss before she got out and headed for the bathroom while he watched her from behind.
Natalia got woken up by Calleigh gently kissing her shoulder, let her hand reach back to hold hers and said: So we got one more little girl.
"Yes, are you ok?" Calleigh asked concerned.
"Hurts a bit, tired, but other than that fine, so what should we name this little angel" said Natalia and looked at the sleeping baby.
"I dunno but I think Ryan should help us with that since he's after all the father" said Calleigh and kissed Natalia's shoulder again.
"I agree" she said and turned so their lips locked while they embraced each other.
"I still can't believe we have three children" said Natalia.
"Neither can I" said Calleigh and gave her another long, deep kiss.
"God I love you so much" said Natalia.
"I know" said Calleigh and pulled her closer as the little girl started to scream.
Natalia turned, picked her up and said: Hey little one, are you hungry.
Natalia lead her to her breast and the little baby started to suck hungrily on it.
"Feels weird huh" said Calleigh and smiled at Natalia.
"It really does, but also good in a way" said Natalia and smiled back at her.
"So do you want to stay home today" said Calleigh.
"I do, to tired to go anywhere" said Natalia with a satisfied sigh.
"Then I'll stay home with you" said Calleigh and kissed her again before she slowly closed her eyes and drifted of again while Natalia just smiled at her.
Horatio saw Ryan come into work with the two babies, walked up to him and asked: Is there anything wrong with Calleigh and Natalia?
"No" said Ryan.
"Then why are you bringing the babies and not them?" Horatio asked.
"Uhm" said Ryan and headed for the changing room.
Horatio picked up the phone and called Calleigh, he quickly got a groan in the other end and asked: Calleigh are you ok?
"Umf, hang on, just have to, I'm fine" she said a second later.
"You sure" he said.
"Just a bit tired, long night" she said.
"What happened you and Natalia didn't fight?" he asked.
"No, not at all, we got another little girl" she said looking though the door at Natalia feeding her little baby girl.
"You did at home" he said shocked.
"We did, Natalia did a great job, but she's still a bit tired and I find it best to be home with her" said Calleigh.
"Hmmm" he said thoughtfully.
"Horatio is there anything wrong?" she asked.
"No, no everything is fine, congratulations" he said and hung up before her walked up to the office, on his way he watched Ryan with his children and said: Do you mind?
"No, not at all" he said and let Horatio take the baby seats.
"Congratulations on the little girl" said Horatio.
"Thanks, well I better head out to the crime scene, see you later" he said and headed for the Hummer.
Once inside the office Horatio looked down at Gabriella and Heatcliff and said: Your mother will never love me will she.
The twins looked confused at him and he said: Might as well forget about her and move on with your aunt Julia.
Gabriella looked up at her father with her emerald eyes and reached out with her tiny arms, Horatio lifted her up and said: I love you to little princess, have you any idea how perfect you are.
Heathcliff cried a little so Horatio lifted him up to and said: I love you to Heath.
Heathcliff let out a pleased grunt as Horatio looked at them and thought "Both of you are just perfect".
When Ryan came home that day he heard Natalia giggle from her and Calleigh's giggle so he quietly went closer to listen and heard Natalia say: Calleigh please stop.
"I know you like it" Calleigh said.
"Mmmmm to tired" Natalia let out.
"Well then you got to let me know as soon as you are up for it so I can show you how much I appreciate you for giving me such a beautiful daughter" said Calleigh.
"Ohhhhhh do that just a little bit more" Natalia let out.
Ryan heard her moan just a little bit more before she went quiet, so he knocked on the door and heard Calleigh say: Come in.
He entered and said: Why didn't you call me when she was born?
"Well I couldn't leave her since she was in pain and I didn't have a phone close by" said Calleigh with was true.
Ryan still didn't seem too happy so Natalia said: Can we make it up to you by letting you name out baby girl.
"You can, so where is she?" Ryan asked.
"In her crib in the next room" said Natalia, her head was resting on Calleigh's arm.
Ryan went to get her, come fastly back and said: She looks just like you.
"Thanks, so what is her name?" Natalia asked.
"Ana Margarita BoaWolfe Duquesne" he said and looked down into his daughters brown eyes.
"I love it" said Natalia and smiled at him.
"So do I" said Calleigh and looked at Ryan holding his little girl, rocking her gently knowing from that moment her would spoil her rotten just like them as there would be nothing he would love more than his own little girl.
