"What's this sweetheart?"
"Horatio…"
"Have you done it?" Calleigh shook her head. "Do you want to?" He asked again. She looked down instead of looking at him.
"I don't know." She said almost whispering.
"Hey come here." He stepped forward and took her into his arms. Calleigh was the first to break the hug. "Do you have suspicions?" Horatio asked again and this time, Calleigh had looked at him and nodded.
"I missed my period. And you were right about the cravings. But I'm not sure."
"Do you want to take it? I'll be here with you. You know that."
"I know.. but Horatio..the twins are just two months plus going to three. I'm not prepared yet."
"Hey, we'll take this one step at a time alright?" He assured her. Calleigh nodded and took the test kit in her hands.
"You ready?" She asked.
"Sweetheart, it's not me. I'm always ready. The question is, are you?" She smiled.
"I don't know but I think whatever the result is, we still have to accept it right?" Horatio smiled at her.
"I'll wait outside." Calleigh nodded and went into the toilet, leaving Horatio with the twins outside. Horatio was nervous and anxious. He didn't know how to react if the result turns out positive. His twins were only almost 3 months. It was rather impossible for her to get pregnant in such a short time. "Calleigh sweetheart, it's been 5minutes. Are you done yet?" That moment, Calleigh opened the door and held the test kit in her hands. "Show it to me. I can't take it in my hands with the twins in my arms." Calleigh nodded and showed him.
"It's positive Horatio. What am I supposed to do right now?" Calleigh immediately lunged into him and hugged him so tightly, not bothering about the twins in his arms.
"Hey..shh.. we'll take this slowly okay. We'll be fine."
"We should have planned properly Horatio…I should have taken the pills. We should have taken precautions." She sobbed.
"Hey, I want you to look at me. It's okay. This baby may be an accident, but it's still a miracle. I know you're not prepared but I'll be here with you every moment whenever you need me. It will be a blessing sweetheart. It's okay. I can assure you that." He said then kissed the top of her head.
"But we will have 3 kids going to school at the same time. I'll probably give birth at the end of the year. They're all going to be the same age." Horatio chuckled at that.
"It's okay. I think we can manage that. But wow. In 3 months."
"Shut up and stop bragging. You caused this problem."
"I guess age didn't matter huh." He teased.
"We have to stop after this alright. There's no way I'm ever doing it again." Calleigh warned. Horatio just smirked.
"Alright. We'll stop. Can you hold them for a moment? I need to go to the toilet." Calleigh nodded and prepared herself for the screams. True enough, the moment Horatio handed them over, they started screaming non-stop.
"Horatio, can you come out quickly. They're screaming non-stop." Right then, Horatio got out of the toilet and Calleigh handed them over to him. They had immediately gone quiet. "Seriously?" Calleigh rolled her eyes at him. "If the next one turns out like them, I want you to be a stay-home dad." Horatio laughed. It wasn't until a few days later that he and Calleigh went to the clinic to get her checked out. Knowing that both Horatius and Alayna can't be separated from Horatio, they had to bring them along. Once they reached the hospital, all eyes were on them, especially on their identical twins.
"Morning Mrs. Caine. We meet again." The doctor smiled. "Hello there babies. Oh the twins look just like you Mr. Caine. So, another one? Or another twins?" The doctor teased them.
"Oh no. I hope it's just single. I can't bear twins anymore. I'm not even prepared for this right now. It's all his fault." Calleigh said, then rolled her eyes at Horatio. The doctor laughed.
"Okay, let's check how far along you are. It's been almost 3 months right?" The both of them nodded. "That was fast." The doctor chuckled. Calleigh knew the process. She has gotten used to it with the twins. "There. You should be 2-3 weeks along. Looks single." The doctor chuckled again. "Stopping after this?"
"I don't know about that." Horatio answered immediately.
"Oh no. We're stopping after this. No more. 3 is just enough." Horatio just smiled. After being checked out, Calleigh and Horatio made their way out and decided to drop by the lab. Calleigh missed her ballistics lab so much. Upon reaching the lab, everyone rushed towards Horatio and the twins, fighting and arguing to hold both Horatius and Alayna. This time, despite both the twins crying, the team ignored and just held on to them.
"Awww. You guys are so adorable." Natalia cooed. "Aww. Look at your rompers. They're so cute." Natalia cooed again when she saw the words on the rompers. 'I'm cute. I get it. Now put me down.'
"H, they are really attached to you huh." Eric said. "How does Calleigh manage when you go off to work?"
"They seem to understand that their father needs to go out to work to feed them. They cry but they settle down after a while." Calleigh interrupted. Horatio just smiled.
"Bring them to the lab often okay guys." Natalia said. "We can keep a look out on them for you." She continued. The rest agreed with them. "Anyway, it's our lunchtime, wanna join us?" Natalia asked and both of them gladly took the offer.
"My treat." Horatio said. "You sure H? We eat loads you know." Horatio laughed. "Eat all you want. My treat." The team gathered together in the lobby and drove off to the nearest restaurant to the lab.
"Calleigh, you're glowing." Alexx stated as the whole table was waiting for their order to come.
"It's probably the light Alexx. I'm not glowing." Calleigh replied then shot a glance at Horatio.
"No baby. You're glowing. And it's not the light. Are you sure you're not hiding anything from us?" Calleigh shook her head. Alexx looked at her skeptically. By now, the whole team was staring at Calleigh and Horatio. "Calleigh?" Alexx pushed while the others were still staring at her, waiting for an answer.
"Okay okay. I lose. Yes. I am hiding something." That made Horatio grin so smugly.
"Oh please don't tell us you're pregnant again Cal." Frank interrupted.
"I'm afraid we can't do that Francis." Horatio said quietly but confident.
"Another? Already? You've got to be kidding me Horatio." Frank asked, unbelievably. Horatio smirked. "Are you guys serious?" He asked again and Calleigh nodded. "Geez guys. It's not even 6 months yet. Horatius and Alayna have yet to start crawling." The whole table laughed.
"Well, what can I say Francis…" Horatio smirked. "I guess age never mattered and I am still capable of doing so. The Caines are just too strong."
"H. What the hell. I don't think I need to hear that." Frank paused. "But really H? Where the hell did you guys find time? Especially with the twins around?"
"We manage." Horatio chuckled.
"Too much info Horatio. Stop it." Calleigh pinched him under the table.
"Woah H. I've got loads to learn from you. You've really got the stamina and strength even after all that work you do in the lab!" Eric teased. "How in the world do you do that?" Horatio laughed.
"I think I just got it in me. Just keep fit Eric. Oh. And keep up." Calleigh was blushing.
"Okay guys. Enough of this." Calleigh warned them.
"Oh come on Cal. We're just having fun."
"Yeah. And at my expense. Things just happen Eric. You've just got to try."
"Age doesn't matter right sweetheart. I guess I can do everything." Horatio winked at her.
"Shut up or you're gonna get it from me when we reach home."
"Woah guys. Hang on right there. Remember there are still Horatius and Alayna." Frank teased them again. "Oh wait. That won't stop you guys anyway." The team burst into laughter. Just then, their orders arrived and they ate while catching up with their lives. "But hey, congrats." Frank continued. There were no callouts during their lunch and they managed to have a fulfilling lunch together, getting to know what's happening in each other's lives. Eric was seeing the girl of his dream and Ryan and Natalia finally opened up and revealed their relationship to the team. Alexx was doing fine with her husband and her kids while Frank was still alone, paying alimony to his ex-wife and taking care of his children.
"Are we expecting any wedding invitation soon from you, Mr. Wolfe?" Horatio popped the question. Ryan shook his head.
"Not from us. Not yet that is. We're still building our relationship. But you may want to ask Eric."
"What?" Eric almost coughed up the food in his mouth. "Not yet. I'm just planning but I haven't even proposed Wolfe! Slow down there."
"Not yet Eric? Don't wait too long." Horatio said.
"Says the person who waited too long to get married to the love of his life huh?" Eric got him back. The team laughed again. Right after lunch, all of them went back to the lab except Horatio and Calleigh who went home. Both Horatius and Alayna were asleep by the time they arrived home which made it easier for Calleigh to lecture Horatio.
"You're going to get it from me." She said as she placed Alayna back into her crib and Horatio, Horatius.
"Oooohhh." Horatio cooed, narrowing his eyes. "What are you going to do to me?" Calleigh smacked his chest hard. "Ouch. Sweetheart, that hurts."
"Oh yeah? Want more?" She smacked again.
"Calleigh, I'm an old man. I don't think my heart can handle that anymore sweetheart."
"An old man now huh? I thought age didn't matter?" Calleigh teased.
"That sweetheart, is under different circumstances." Calleigh smacked him again. "Calleigh please…" He said, pleadingly as he clutched his chest and leaning on the end of their bed.
"What? Are you faking a heart attack now? Really?" Horatio didn't respond. "Horatio?" She called out and he still didn't respond. She stood up, leaving Horatio there when suddenly he started gasping for air, struggling and clutching his chest. "Horatio. Look at me. Horatio…" She was panicking. "Oh my god. I am so sorry Handsome." She quickly fished out her cellphone from her pocket to dial 911 when suddenly Horatio grabbed her hand and rolled her on her back.
"Panicking huh sweetheart." He said as he was kissing her neck gently.
"Horatio don't do that again. Ever. You made me panic. I almost thought you went into Cardiac Arrest." She said in between her moans; instant reaction towards his hypnotizing kisses.
"Never again sweetheart. I love you." He gave her a final passionate kiss and got up, pulling her along.
"That's it?" She feigned a hurt look.
"What?" He pretended.
"You roll me on my back, tease me with your kisses and then you just get up?"
"I didn't mean anything." He replied nonchalantly.
"Oh no. You're not getting off that Horatio Caine. Finish what you started. I'm not letting you go easily Mister." Horatio didn't need a second invitation to take her into his arms and started tormenting her with his sweet kisses. "Horatio Caine, are you done with that?" Horatio looked up and smirked at her. He knew she needed him but he was going to make her wait. Calleigh started unbuckling his belt and unzipped his pants when Horatio took her hands and held it above her head.
"In due time sweetheart." He said as he lowered his kisses on her now naked torso. He loved the way she arched into him, unable to wait any longer. He kissed her slowly and gently, moving further down until he reached his desired area. He could feel her so wet and that turned him on so much. His tongue started getting to work, flicking her clit, tormenting her further until she eventually lost it and sent her over the edge, spilling into him.
"Horatio, I need you. Now."
"Patience sweetheart." He smirked and replaced his tongue with his fingers, teasing her, inserting his finger slowly into her wet velvety fold. Calleigh couldn't help it but to part her thighs slightly as she arches towards him. "Horatio…" She moaned. Right then, he knew she couldn't take it anymore and he needed her as much as she needed him. He positioned himself in between her and teased her with his tip a few times, making her crazy. "Horatio, you've got to be kidding me." She said in between her moans and that caused Horatio to chuckle. Horatio then slid into her, thrusting and finally both reached their climax one after the other.
"If that is your definition of punishing me sweetheart, I will gladly make you angry and then get my punishment." Horatio chuckled and Calleigh smacked him again. "Sweetheart, your old man isn't that strong anymore. Please don't do that again." Right then, Calleigh rolled on top of him.
"Are you sure you're old? What you did back then didn't show me your age at all."
"Sweetheart…"
"Okay. If you're old, then you're not up to this anymore." She said as she got off him.
"Oh hold on. I think I'm up for another." He pulled her back down.
"No Mister. You're old remember. I'm afraid your heart can't take it anymore. No more strenuous activity." That moment, Horatio immediately rolled her over on her back and made love to her once again that evening. The twins were really quiet which gave them some time together.
"See sweetheart, I am still capable."
"Whatever." Calleigh rolled her eyes at him and eventually snuggled into him and went to sleep.
