3 MONTHS LATER.
"Calleigh have you seen my shirt" Horatio yelled.
"Which one?" she yelled back.
"The light blue one" he said.
"In the laundry hamper, would you please take another one" she said.
"You said you would do the laundry the other day, I really wanted to use it in court today" he said.
"You can was your self you know, I'm not your maid, and I've not been feeling all that well lately, so please don't yell at me" she said tiredly.
"I'm sorry" he said and gave her a soft kiss.
Then buttercup come running wanting to cuddle so Calleigh lifted her up and said "Hey little one, I'm so sorry, but mummy isn't feeling s good, but I will play with you later I promise."
The dog licked her joyfully in the face and Calleigh gave the dog a kiss before she put her down.
Horatio looked at Calleigh, she looked pale and her eyes were glass like so he asked "Do you need the day off?"
"Nah, I'm fine" she said even if she was feeling both dizzy and that she was about to throw up.
"Hmmm, well let's go then" he said.
"Come on buttercup, time to go" said Calleigh and the dog came running towards the before they left.

"Mom, have you considered moving in with bugman?" Lindsay asked while they were eating breakfast.
"Why do you ask?" Catherine replied from the paper.
"Since you are a couple and adults" said Lindsey.
"To be honest I haven't really thought about it, we only been dating for six months" said Catherine.
"But mom, you're crazy about him, I can see that and he's crazy about you too, you always have, and even without me you are a family so why not move inn together, you practically live with each other anyways" said Lindsey.
"He never asked and I'm fine with the way things are" said Catherine with a sigh.
"Mom I was wondering if he asked you to marry him would you say yes" said Lindsey.
"Probably, I dunno, why are you asking me all these things, did he say anything to you?" Catherine replied.
"No, not at all, it's just uhm, never mind I have to go" said Lindsey and left.
Catherine shook her head. It was not like Lindsey to ask questions like that. It was like something had changed after she had visited Kyle, only she couldn't tell what. At least she wasn't wild anymore.
Catherine looked at Grissom coming into the kitchen, thinking of Lindsey's words wondering what it would be like if they had only one house and all the things at one place.
"Ladybug you need your space" said Grissom as he had read her mind.
"How?" she asked confused.
"Well I know you and we have been dating for six months yet it is a big step to move in together" he said.
"I do, but I still love you bugging me and having you around" she said honest.
"Mhm, may I have today's crossword" he said.
She just smiled at him as he handed it over. He gave her a soft kiss to than her before starting to solve it.

"Natalia, sweetie, you need to wake up, it's time to get to work" said Greg and gave her as soft kiss.
"I know. I just don't feel like it, that's all" she said with a sigh.
After the miscarriage two and a half month back she had lost the will to get up and go to work, all she wanted to do was to sleep and to be alone and Greg couldn't blame her.
"I know, but I think it's time you get back to work, it might do you good, you can't hide her forever" he said.
"But the just was the reason…, and if I go back you have to get back to and then I'll be all alone" she said sadly.
Greg had stayed with her day and night after the miscarriage and she couldn't bear the though of him leaving her.
"Sweetie I would never leave you again, not after what we have been through, I'll even go with you to the lab so it won't be so hard for you to get back to work" he said.
"You would really do that for me" she said feeling a lot better.
"Of course I would, now take a shower, then we'll leave" he said.
"Well ok" she said and got up figuring it was time to get back to where she belonged.
Calleigh was sitting in the break room when Natalia and Greg walked in.
"Hey Natalia, how are you feeling?" Calleigh asked.
"Better, but you don't look to good" Natalia replied.
"I think I have the flu, been sick for a couple of weeks or so, but since I hate going to the doctor, I figured I just let it pass" said Calleigh and added: "So are ya coming back to work?"
"I am, if you don't like the doctor, why don't you just let Alexx check on you?" Natalia asked.
"Why bother, it's probably nothing, it will pass I'm sure, so Greg are you coming to work for us" said Calleigh.
"Dunno, have to talk to H first I guess" said Greg looking at Calleigh, her face was turning greyer by the minute and he guessed she wanted to throw up, yet she kept in control.
"He's up in his office, bet he'll be thrilled to have you back Nat and he'll probably work out something for you too Greg" said Calleigh realising she could never get to the ladies room in time so her eyes searched the room for something to throw up in.
"You really think he would do that for me" said Greg.
"I do" said Calleigh and reached for the trash can just in time.
Natalia and Greg watched her in shock as she was throwing up all that she had.
"Calleigh couldn't you at least use the use the ladies, now it's gonna stink in here, oh hey Nat" said Eric from behind.
Calleigh was done and looked embarrassed at them and said "Sorry Eric, there wasn't time, it's not like I wanna be sick.
"If you are that ill, why aren't you at home?" asked Natalia concerned.
"It's only this bad in the mornings, other than that I'm just dizzy and tired, so I can work just fine" said Calleigh.
"Just in the mornings you say, not to be nosy, but when was your last period" said Greg.
"Think I skipped one why?" Calleigh said confused.
"To be honest I don't think you have the flu, I think you're pregnant, what do you say Nat" said Greg.'
"Sounds like it, imagine bulletgirl as a mother, said Natalia.
"That should be interesting" said Natalia.
"You're pregnant" they heard Horatio say shocked from behind.
"I think I could be, oh hell" said Calleigh.
"That's wonderful" said Horatio and gave her a big hug.
"It's not and move outta my way" she said and ran towards the ladies.
"That's weird I though she wanted to get pregnant" said Horatio confused.
"She des, only I don't think she enjoys morning sickness and everything that goes along with it" said Natalia.
"Oh you're back, sure you are ready" said Horatio.
"Think so, I'll take it one day at the time, but I was wondering could Greg work here too" said Natalia hopefully.
"Sure, I don't see why not, well you better get back to work, I have to check on Calleigh" said Horatio and left them.
**************************************************************************************************************
"Calleigh honey, are you Ok?" said Horatio from outside the stall door. She was still puking.
"No, I'm not" she said, tears were falling from her eyes, but at least she knew she was done throwing up.
"Calleigh, please come out" said Horatio.
"No, just leave me alone" she said.
"Calli, what's wrong, I though you wanted to get pregnant" he said.
"I did, I just didn't expect it to happen so soon. And to be this sick, it's not fun at all" she cried.
"Dear, don't worry about it, you will be a great mother" said Horatio.
"Maybe so, but I'm the one who has to go through all this stuff before the baby is born, I'm really sick and so tired Horatio" she said, she sounded really tired.
"I know" he said.
"How could you possibly knowing what I'm going through" she said a bit frustrated.
"OK, so maybe I don't, so do you wanto go home and rest?" he asked.
Calleigh sighed and said "No, I'm not afraid of a challenge, I just, I just…"
"You just what?" he asked.
"I wanna hug" she said, but it sounded more like a whisper.
"If you want a hug, you need to get out of there, I can't break down the door, well I could, but I don't want" said Horatio honest.
"The door is open" said Calleigh since he hadn't bothered looking it since she was in a hurry to throw up.
Horatio opened the door and found her on the floor. She looked sad, tired and scared. He sat down next to her and held her closely since at that moment it was just what she needed.
************************************************************************************************************
"Greg, seriously we have to work" said Natalia a bit frustrated.
"Relax, H is busy with his leading lady in the bathroom, Nat was you that is when you…" he stopped.
"No, I wasn't, but every woman is different" she said.
"She didn't seem well at all" said Greg.
"No and I can't say I envy her that" said Natalia.
"You wanna try to again?" he asked.
"Not just yet, too soon" she said thoughtfully.
"Hey looks like buttercup wanna play" said Greg, the dog were jumping up and down to get protection.
"She sure is cute" said Natalia and lifted up the dog which licked her face happily and made her giggle.
"Want a dog sweetie?" Ryan asked.
"Never thought about it, but it will get lonely sine we work s much, besides right now I'm happy with just you" she said and gave him a kiss.
"I love you too" he said.
"Wanna go outside and play with her" said Natalia.
"Sure" said Greg and followed them outside.
A moment later Horatio and Calleigh were watching them through the window and Horatio said "Looks like they are having fun".
"Good that's just what she needs" said Calleigh.
"You think she'll be OK" he said.
"In time, besides she got Greg on her side" she said.
"He seems like a great guy" said Horatio.
"Oh he is, but not as great as you handsome" she said and gave him a soft kiss.
"Why than you sweetheart, we better go we have a new crime scene to look at" he said.
"Mhm" she replied before they headed for the Hummer.
***************************************************************************************************************
A couple of hours later Horatio and Calleigh were at the doctor watching the ultra sound.
"The baby's heartbeats are strong" she said the doctor.
"The babies, is there more than one" said Calleigh surprised.
"Calleigh you are having twins" said the doctor.
"I am" she said shocked.
"Mhm, so how are you feeling?" the doctor asked.
"Tired, dizzy, been throwing up a lot" she said.
"Anything else?" asked the doctor.
"Uhm handsome will you wait outside for a moment" she said, which made him nod and leave.
"I have no desire for sex and a bit more headaches is that normal" she said.
"It is, don't worry, the desire for sex will come back in a couple of months and the headaches will go away to" aid the doctor.
"I dunno if I can keep him of for that long" said Calleigh with a sigh.
"He seems like and understanding man, I think he'll understand if you tell him how you feel" said the doctor.
"I can't exactly say hey handsome you know what I don't feel like having sex, and I don't think I'm gonna for a couple of months so if you don't mint back of I would appreciate it" said Calleigh.
"Maybe not like that, but you gotto talk to him Calleigh" said the doctor.
"Yeah, yeah, I gotto get back to work" said Calleigh.
"Just don't work too much" said the doctor.
"Trust me I don't have the energy" said Calleigh and left.
