Calleigh "Grace is with my friend she'll be back later this afternoon we need to talk first."

Calleigh moved around behind the sofa out of her brother's way recognising the look in his eyes from their father. "Bobby I've been looking after Grace for seven months now I love her and I want her to be happy. Are you sober now."
Robert "That's none of your business I want my kid Calleigh."
Calleigh shook her head "How are you going to support her Robert she'll need food and somewhere to sleep."
Robert "I'll take care of her now where is she "Robert came around the sofa grabbing his sister by the arms
Calleigh "Come back later this evening she'll be here then I'll pack her bags."

Horatio was sitting discussing the ball game that had been on the TV the night before when his cell phone rang. Horatio looked at the caller id "Its Calleigh." Horatio answered the phone "Hey Cal how did it go "
Calleigh signed on the other end of the phone "He was drunk and aggressive. I can't give Grace to him H not when his like this but his coming back for her later this evening. Can you Tim and Eric be here when he arrives please I can't face him alone."
Horatio looked at his friends and at Grace who was asleep in her pram "I'll be there but let me ask the guys." Horatio covered the mouthpiece on his phone.
Horatio looked at speed and Eric "Tim, Eric Calleigh's brother turned up drunk so she's going to tell him he can't have Grace this evening. She wants us there because of his reaction."
Tim nodded "Count me in."
Eric smiled, as he looked at Grace "No ones taking Gracie not with me around."
Alex "Horatio tell Calleigh Grace can stay at my house tonight."
Horatio told Calleigh what their three friends had said "tell Alex thanks Horatio but I may be making the wrong choice but I want Robert to see Grace and too see she's happy I own him that."
Later that evening Calleigh and the guys were waiting for Robert to turn up when the knock at the door came Calleigh jumped in surprise starling Grace who started to whimper in shock. Eric smiled at his friend "I'll get it you stay with Grace calm her down."
Eric let Robert in the apartment and Robert crossed to Calleigh holding out his arms "Give me her." Calleigh stood up with Grace "You can hold her Robert but your not taking her away from me Robert."
Robert "she's my kid and I want her now."
Horatio spoke up from his spot near the window "well Grace is staying with her aunt so you'll have to keep on wanting won't you."
Tim stood up walking behind Calleigh placing his hand on Graces back "Now why don't you give Grace a hug and say goodbye. I really wouldn't think about trying to leave when Calleigh gives you Grace because my friend Eric is standing in front of the door and his attached to Grace so he won't let you leave with her."
Robert took Grace from Calleigh and she started to cry as this strange man held her. Robert glared at his daughter "shut the hell up." Grace started to cry harder as Robert shouted at her.
Calleigh. "Give me her and get out of my apartment now Robert." Calleigh took Grace from Robert holding her niece close as she disappeared into the bedroom.
Tim stepped up to Robert "you heard her leave now."
Robert shoved Tim "Tell Calleigh this isn't over yet."
Robert left Calleigh's apartment and Calleigh came out the bedroom with Grace in her arms "Thank you guys for being here. I couldn't have done this alone."
Horatio " No problem but the two of you are not staying here alone tonight"
Eric stepped over to the rest of the group putting his arm around Calleigh trying to comfort his friend "I'll stay with them tonight I can sleep in the guest room."
Horatio "Thanks Eric make sure the doors locked after we leave"
Calleigh nodded "we will."
***********************************************************
The following morning Calleigh dropped Grace at the day care and headed into work where a package was waiting for her at front desk. Calleigh sat down in the break room where Tim and Eric were talking with Alex and opened the package reading the papers inside "Roberts suing me for custody of Grace. I'm due in court next week."
