Chapther 21.
Calleigh was standing in an old kitchen watching a little boy with red hair colouring by a kitchen table while his mother was making dinner. Calleigh guessed he had to be about six, his mothers red hair was in a ponytail and she was standing with her back towards him humming on a song.
"Mommy, look at my picture it's me riding a horse" said the little boy proudly.
His mother turned and said: That's my little cowboy.
"It's for you, you like it?" he asked.
"Why thank you very much, I love it Horatio" she said and let her fingers stroke through his hair.
"I'm gonna be a cowboy when I grow up and catch all the bad guys" he said.
"I'll think you'll be very good at it" she said and smiled at him.
"Htio, you wanna play coops and robber with me?" another little boys asked.
"Sure Ray, let me just put this aside" said Horatio and took the things while their mother said: You have to do it outside cause I want now running in the house to wake up your dad cause he's sleeping.
"Ok, mom, come along Ray" said Horatio as they left the kitchen as Calleigh smiled to her self.
Calleigh opened her eyes and found out she was in her bed but Horatio wasn't there so she yelled out for him.
Horatio came running in and asked: What's wrong?
"Nothing, but I think I had a dream about when you were a little boy for some reason" she said and smiled at him.
"Really, now that's odd, what was it about?" he asked curiously.
"You must have been round six and you were at a table colouring a picture for you mum of you as a cowboy, then your little brother came in and wanted to play coop and robbers so you two had to run outside to not wake your dad, your mum looks like a very nice lady" said Calleigh.
"She was, but how come you could see that, I don't think I ever shown you a picture of her or me and Ray as kids for that matter" he said a bit confused.
"I dunno, maybe it has to do with the baby that I can gain access to your memories or something, so you got your hair and eye color from your mum" she said.
"I do, well dad had blue eyes to so it could have been from either" he said.
"And I guess your dad had dark hair since Raymond does" she said.
"He did" said Horatio and looked away since his dad was a painful memory.
"Poor handsome, but at least your mum seemed to love you very much" she said and put her arm around his shoulder and hold him closely.
"That she did" he said as his tears started to fall from his eyes.
"You really miss her don't you" said Calleigh and hold him even closer.
"I do, very much" he cried sadly.
"Did she stick up for you and Ray?" she asked.
"Yes, but it didn't do any good" he cried sadly thinking about how his father had killed his mother.
"Poor handsome" she said and stroke his back gently to comfort him.
"It's ok, just hard to think about that's all, and you didn't have the best childhood either as I understand it" she said.
"But at least I had my brothers you were all alone" she said sadly.
"Not all alone I had friends, Ray and my mother until" he stopped.
Calleigh gave him a soft kiss and said: What I saw seemed happy.
"It probably was, but I still don't get how you can get access to my memory and remember those when you can't remember what you dream your self" he said.
"I dunno, it's not like I can control it" she said and rested her head closely to him.
"You wanna sleep?" he asked.
"No, not now, I' hungry, maybe later" she said.
"Then I'll make us something to eat" he said as they got up and headed for the kitchen.
It was late night and Horatio and Calleigh were sleeping peacefully in each others arms, when a cold draft blew over the room and made Calleigh shiver.
Horatio noticed and tried to pull her closer when he again noticed she was burning hot. He saw pearls of sweat run down her forehead as she was twisting in her sleep.
She didn't scream, yet she somehow seemed scared so Horatio whispered: It's ok, I'm here.
Calleigh didn't replay just started to breath heavily before she stopped and went quiet again.
Calleigh was in the old kitchen again, she was watching the Caine family having dinner, when Raymond knocked over a glass of water. Their father looked angrily at him and Ray Jr said: I'm sorry dad, I didn't mean it, I'll get something to dry it of with.
As he got up his father grabbed his neck pushed his head down in the water on the floor and said: Drink it.
"Daddy please" he begged as his tears started to fall.
"If you spill the water on the floor you should drink it as the dog you are" said his father.
"Charles let the boy go" said their mother.
"Oh shut up you stupid woman, now drink" said Charles and pushed his head further down.
"Don't you talk to mom that way she isn't stupid and let him go" Horatio demanded.
"So you wanna trade places is that it" Charles said.
"I rather you take me than him" said Horatio said, his voice was shaking.
"Ok then come over here you little brat" said Charles, let Ray go and grabbed Horatio's neck.
"Charles let him go he didn't do anything wrong" said Horatio's mother.
"He interfered and didn't I tell you to stay out of it Meredith" said Charles and pushed Horatio to the ground.
Horatio drank the water before his father dragged him out to the backyard where he tied him to a doghouse, and Calleigh said: Please let Horatio go, he deserves much better, don't you do that to him.
But there was for no use since there was like a glass wall between her and them and she watched while Charles kicked Horatio until he was on the ground with blood coming outta his moth heaving for air, then he left him.
"NO DON'T LEAVE HIM THERE HE DID NOTHING WRONG" Calleigh yelled as she was crying hardly.
But Charles were already inside, Calleigh watched the now eight year old boy craw into the doghouse where she heard him cry like a wounded animal.
Then she saw Horatio's mother come out and walk over to the doghouse where she begged him to come out, when he did so she stoke him gently before she held him closely and let him cry.
In the next scene Calleigh saw Horatio's father beat of his mother for helping out Horatio until she was on the bed begging for mercy in real big pain, then he left her there.
Meredith Caine got up kneeled beside the bed, folded her hands and said: Dear Lord, please help me and my boys, the deserve so much better and I dunno how long I can take it, I don't want him to hit and harm us no more, please make it stop one way or another so they can be safe.
At this point Calleigh woke up and went out to the living room where she cried harder than ever before while she held on to a pillow.
How could Horatio's father do that to them and why was she seeing it all and managed to remember his memories and not her own. His painful memories, it made her so sad for him.
Calleigh continued to cry until she was a sleep on the coach.
Horatio woke up by the alarm the next morning and got scared when he couldn't find Calleigh in bed. He just hoped she hadn't started sleep walking to, so he put on a pair of boxers and an old T-shirt and went out of the bedroom to find her.
Horatio walked into the living room and saw her sleeping peacefully on the coach and wondered what had made her go out here in the first place.
Horatio bent down and kissed her gently to wake her up.
Calleigh slowly opened her eyes and looked at him before she dragged him down for a longer and deeper kiss.
When she let him go he asked: Why are you sleeping out here
"I had this bad dream and I needed to cry and I didn't wanto wake you, it was so horrible and so sad" she said.
"What was it about?" he asked as he knelt down beside her and held her hand in his.
"You were eight and your dad made you drink water Ray had spilled on the floor and then he tied you to a doghouse and beat the crap outta you, you poor thing. Then he went after you mother for helping you and then I saw her pray for ya'll that's was so sad, I knew he was horrible, but that's just to much" she said as her tears started to fall.
"Well that's my dad for you" said Horatio and held her.
"Did you know your mother prayed for it to get better" she said.
"I guessed as much, I'm so sorry you had to see that" he said.
"Speaking of seeing, what happened yesterday?" she asked.
"I dunno, I mean first your eyes were like they were on fire and the room darkened, then I could suddenly talk to you via my thoughts, then you said you couldn't breath and then suddenly I saw John Hagen with red eyes and the bloody message on the wall" he said.
"Horatio sure you saw John, I mean he's dead" she said in disbelief.
"I know that, but I'm sure of what I saw it was him and he said I couldn't save you and that you and the baby belonged to him, so if he's right then I'll loose you my love" said Horatio sadly.
"No you won't I mean if it's John I bet I can beat him up somehow, and the baby can't be harmed" she said.
"But Calleigh if you die, the baby will to" said Horatio.
"Would you stop talking silly noone will die I promise" she said.
"I lost enough as it is I couldn't bear to loose you to" he said as his tears now were falling.
"You won't I promise" she said and gave Horatio another soft kiss.
"How can you say that, this thing is hurting you in every way it can and you can't control it" said Horatio.
"I can a little, kinda" she said and smiled at him.
"Not when you're a sleep, and there is nothing I can do, but watch" he said sadly.
"Will you relax, nothing will happen to me or the baby" she said although she wasn't so sure.
"But what if he attacks after the baby is born you'll be to weak to fight" said Horatio.
"I'll manage, trust me ok, we better shower or well be late" she said, got up and dragged him towards the bathroom.
