The bathroom was filled with a thin haze of steam. Emma was over by the door running her finger along the mirror creating silly faces. Calleigh smiled slightly as she exited the shower after grabbing her towel, not that it really mattered her daughter wouldn't question the way her naked body looked. She finished drying her body and let the towel fall as she rapped herself in the terracotta robe that hung off a near by peg.
"What are you doing still up I thought I put you back to sleep." Calleigh took Emma in her arms letting her wet hair run along her daughter's face as she kissed her cheek.
Emma shrugged. "I can't seep."
"Alright lets get back to sleep then, but first let mommy get ready for bed?" She watched Emma nod as she hurried over the large bed and pulled herself up to watch and see what her mother was going to wear too sleep.
"Why don't you wear the pretty ones anymore?" Emma asked waving her legs back and forth of the edge of the bed.
Calleigh had her hands on a pair of Tim's boxers. 'Tim's things are just easier to put on.' She thought to herself, but she knew that was not true. "Alright baby which one would you like me to wear?" She closed Tim's drawer while pulling open the one beside it so Emma could take a good look.
"The blue one!" Emma smiled. "It's a pretty color." She was very pleased with her choice and in being allowed to help her mother get dressed for a change.
"Alright. Blue one it is." She took it from the drawer shut it and walked to the side of the room where her walk in closet was to change. She pulled it over her head, fettled with it till if fit comfortably on her body, and looked at herself in the mirror. She smiled as she remembered why she bought this nightgown to begin with. "Okay now its time to put you to sleep baby." She walked out and over too her daughter.

Calleigh had been asleep for close to too two or three hours now when she was suddenly woken from a strong-arm rapping itself around her. She turned quick and was face to face with Tim. "I thought I locked you out."
"I remembered I had a key when I got too the lab. So I drove back." He began pulling her close to him, but she made sure too keep some distance by keeping her hand pressed against him.
"I knew there was something I forgot too take back from you." She moved in his arms so she was facing the wall.
"Calleigh I'm sorry…is that what you want to hear?" He pulled her close to him running his hand along the blue silk of her nightgown. "I'm sorry." He began to kiss her shoulder softly. "I will have this finished soon and we can have that family you always wanted I promise."
"That ass has some goons watching the house again doesn't he?" She turned looking at him, and moved close to his ear. "I want to be with my husband. Not a man I considered dating." She kissed him deeply moving her body on top of his.

She came down from the back stairs into the kitchen and let out a yawn. "You didn't have to buy these." She walked over to the kitchen counter and took in the scent of the pale pink and blue tulips.
"Yes I did it was my back up plan if you didn't let me stay in the bedroom last night." Tim smiled up at her from the newspaper.
"Shouldn't you be off trying to catch some killers? Or something?" She walked over the refrigerator and opened the freezer and pulled out a box of Eggo Minis and put two in the toaster oven.
"Those things are horrible for your body."
"Yes well "those things" take 5 minutes to make in the morning. Besides I don't see you eating anything better." She walked over too the table setting the two plates down in front of their chairs. Calleigh moved the bottles of honey, jam, and syrup between the plates on the table so that Danny and Emma could have a better reach then she took the half eaten piece of bacon form his plate and put it in her mouth.
"Bacon is good from the soul."
"What ever you say." She gave him a quick kiss before sitting down to eat, when Danny and Emma came running in dressed and ready for school.

"What do my two favorite guys have for me today?" asked Calleigh as she glanced up form her duel microscope.
"Bullets. Lots and lots of bullets," said Eric with a smile ahs he placed a crate of evidence on the table.
"Please tell me that's all from one gun." Calleigh had a slight grown to voice. "I have this one too finish and some tool marks I need to match."
"No just five." Tim placed two 9mm, two 22 barrel shot guns, and a simple TMP. "Don't over work yourself. Alright?"
"When have I ever over worked myself with bullets." She smiled while looking in her Microscope.

Tim walked with Eric over to DNA too check and see if their samples had been processed. "How much longer are you keep up this thing?" asked Eric. "I don't even have to hear her talk to know its driving her nuts." He walked over to Valeria taking her hips and stole a quick kiss on the cheek.
"How ever long it takes I suppose. It won't be too much longer I'm sure we are getting really close. My new trial date is in a week." Answered Tim.
"Oh that's right. Horatio is looking for you Ben. Needed too talk to you, something urgent?" said Valeria as she pulled sheet of paper from its tray after it finished.
"Alright thanks. I'm gunna go take care of that alright?" He looked at Eric.
"Yeah sure go right a head if I'm not here I will be in trace." Eric answered back as he watched Tim walk off too Horatio's office.
