"W..w...what?"
"I'm dying Calleigh, I've got cancer"
"And all this time I thought all you wanted was to get me married"
"I do but hopefully before I die"
"Why now?"
"You mother told me about Horatio and how well you two get along so well"
"I'm so sorry auntie Mabel"
"I know you are all I ever wanted was for you to be happy"
"I am happy" Calleigh answered in between sobs
"At work yes but other wise?"
"No, but Horatio and I are really close and If I need a manly touch I just call on him"
"Oh honey it's good to have someone like that...your was like that to me when I first met him and he still was once I had married him its a shame he passed away"
Mabel watched as her niece started to cry again, "Isn't there anything you can do?" Calleigh said once again in between sobs
"It's to late sweet heart, I'm sorry" Mabel put her arms around Calleigh and pulled her into a tight hug

Horatio looked up at Thomas, and noticed that he was looking at his watch for the fifteenth time in the last ten minutes
"I'm going up to see them" Thomas finally announced, then turned around and looked over in Horatio's direction.
"Actually I think you should go, Calleigh seams to listen to you more"
Horatio didn't need to be told twice and stood up and walked the stairs to Calleigh's room.

Calleigh pulled her head up of Mabel's shoulders and looked up.
"Calleigh, honey, tell me about this Horatio"
Calleigh smiled at the mention of Horatio's name
"he's…he's just so kind, warm hearted, he knows what I'm thinking sometimes, it's like we have a connection. And Alexx, one of our friends, once said I had a radar, because just before he's about to enter a room that I'm in, the hairs on my back and neck stand up and I can tell it's always him" Calleigh go off the bed and went to set down on the couch, "It sounds so stupid"
"it sounds like your both love sick for each other" Mabel answered then said in Spanish, "él es el un Calleigh"
"He even makes my spine tingle"
"Good, every woman should know at least one man that makes her spine tingle. When I saw the both of you outside earlier this morning, I noticed a light in your eyes when you look at him. Do you know how rare that is? He's a good man, Calleigh. He can make you happy."
"But I'm scared it won't last with work and everything"
"Calleigh, this is love and if the two of you have a love for each other that's strong enough then you'll both get through the obstacles that you face in the future"
"What if we can't face them, then what?"
"let the love you have guide you"
"Aunt Mabel!"
"Calleigh, To truly love and trust someone is to give them your heart knowing that they won't ever break it."
"What's the supposed to mean
"In your own time Calleigh you'll soon figure it out"
Mabel got up and walked over to the door, she turned around to look at Calleigh and saw her stirring out the window.

"Calleigh"
Calleigh looked up to see Horatio standing at the door; he showed concern in his eyes.
"How are you feeling?"
"Like shit"
Horatio can and sat down next to Calleigh and put his arm around her. Calleigh moved slightly from her position so she had he back against Horatio's chest. They both sat like that for about ten minutes before either of them said a work.
"What's wring Cal?" Horatio asked her. He saw a fresh batch of tears come stream down her cheeks, "talk to me Cal"
"She's got cancer"
"Who Calleigh?"
Calleigh turned around to face Horatio.
"Aunt Mabel, she just told me, it's too late for her to get treatment, and she only has about three or four months before she dies"
"Hey, sshh, Calleigh its ok"
"How Horatio? How is it ok?"
"Because she's seen her beautiful niece grow up to be a very beautiful girl"
Calleigh turned and burred her face into Horatio's chest and cried.
Horatio hugged her tightly and never wanted to let her go. He whispered sweet things in her ear and soon he had Calleigh calm enough to talk to.
"How about I take you out for dinner, just you and me?"
"That would be nice, thank you Horatio"
"My pleasure"
Horatio stood up and extended her hand out to Calleigh, she reached out and took hold of his hand, and the two of them walked hand in hand out the door.
