Disclaimer: I don't own any of these characters, including Tim Speedle
(sigh), but hey, a girl can dream can't she?
Rating: We'll start out with PG-13 for now.
Pairings: Speed/OC (Jennifer), Horatio/Calleigh, and maybe we'll give Eric a little love this time!
Summary: Speed's wife is kidnapped and all the clues lead to a case Speed and John Hagen worked on early in their careers.
Author's Note - I almost feel like I'm making Speed cheat between two women right now! However, my brain hurts and I desperately need a break from the serial killer in Love Lost Returned. This story has been in my head for a few days now, and if I don't get fingers to keyboard - I'll forget it all!
Chapter 9
"MOMMY!" Ben screamed as he ran down the airport concourse and in to Jennifer's arms. She lifted him up, peppering his face with little kisses.
"Oh, my baby," she cried, burying her face in blonde hair. "My sweet, sweet baby. I missed you so much."
"I missed you too, Mommy," he said, hugging her neck tightly. He refused to let Jennifer put him down, not that she was willing to anyway. Jennifer hugged her mother and kissed her on the cheek while the older woman cried. She then turned her attention to John, slapping him on the chest. "Are there any other criminals in your past I should know about?"
John smiled and drew her into his arms. "Not that I know of," he said into her hair, kissing her on top of the head. "I'm so sorry about all of this, Jenny."
Horatio hugged Calleigh tightly; then lifted their daughter, Breanna, out of her stroller. "Hi there, Brea-baby." He kissed his daughter's curly red hair. "Did you miss Daddy?"
The toddler gurgled a response, latching onto Horatio's collar. "I don't know about her," Calleigh laughed, kissing her husband as the group began to walk out of the airport, "but I sure did."
"Mommy," Ben said as the family crossed the airport parking lot to a waiting Suburban, "our boat left this morning."
Jennifer looked over at Tim, who just shrugged. "Yes, baby, it did. But Daddy and I promise we're going to make that up to you, okay?"
"We might be able to help with that," John grinned, pulling a small stack of papers from his jacket, handing them to Jennifer.
"What's this?" she asked, flipping through the stack.
"I called the Cruise line, told them what had been going on, and luckily, the lady that I spoke with had read about you in the paper. She let me change the dates without any fees."
"There's another ship leaving next Monday," Calleigh chimed in. "All five of you will be on it."
"Five?" Tim asked with eyes wide.
Horatio grinned. "We thought that John and Julie might need a vacation after all of this, plus, I don't think Julie is going to let Jennifer out of her sight for a while."
"You got that right," Julie stated plainly. "I'd love one week on a boat, knowing that nobody will shooting at or kidnapping my family."
"Here's hoping," Tim answered sarcastically, taking the information from Jennifer. "But seriously, guys, thanks."

"Tim, I've been thinking." Jennifer was stretched out on a lounge chair, sunning herself on the boat deck in a hot-pink bikini.
"Uh-oh," he answered, peering at her over the top of his sunglasses. "That could get you and I both in trouble."
"Smartass." She threw a bottle of suntan lotion at him and grinned. "Seriously, though, do you want to know what I've been thinking?"
"Does it involve sex?" he asked jokingly. "Cause if it does, you know I'm all for whatever it is."
"Actually," she nodded. "It does involve sex." Jennifer sat up on her lounge chair and looked at her husband seriously. "I want to have a baby."
Tim choked on the beer he was drinking, causing Jennifer to laugh. "I didn't say I was pregnant, Tim, I said I wanted to have a baby."
"I heard you," he said, wiping his face with his beach towel.
"Well," she asked, tilting her head to one side, "What do you think?"
Tim shook his head. "I don't think you're emotionally ready to make that decision, Jennifer."
"What if in three months from now, I feel the same way?"
Tim took a deep breath and considered his wife carefully. He simply couldn't resist the expectant look on her face. "Well, if in three months from now you still feel the same way, then I guess........"
Jennifer squealed with delight and leapt onto him before he could finish his sentence. "You guess what?" she asked, planting kisses along his neck.
"Unfair," he argued. She looked up at him, grinning from ear to ear. Tim rolled his eyes. "Then I guess we'll make the 'baby's room' as Ben likes to call it, into a real baby's room."
"You want to start practicing now?" she asked seductively, continuing her assault on his neck. "Ben's with my mother and Mickey Mouse and John's probably hitting on some single mother somewhere, so we're pretty much all to ourselves."
"I'll race you to the room," he answered.
The End.
