A/N: Hey thanks for the great reviews. Sorry to leave you with that little cliff hanger.

Pairing: Calleigh/Eric

Calleigh's heart is racing, her head pounding. She loses feeling in her legs and falls, grabbing the chair just in time. She pulls herself into the chair, now completely ignoring the Doctor. Her breathing is heavy and her eyes are full of shock. It takes her time to process it in her brain. After about a minute, Calleigh looks up at the Doctor and remembers where she is and what's going on.

The Doctor takes the seat next to her and grabs her arm for support. Calleigh's blue eyes are misty and she can't seem to look at the Doctor. 'Calm down', she tells herself, 'it might not be that bad, I don't even know what's wrong with him yet. He's strong he'll pull through'. Calleigh's mind flashes back to a time not too long ago...

Flashback

Calleigh is in the break room getting a can of coke. Someone walks into the room. She knows who it is right away. She can tell it's him just by sensing it. "Hey there shark-man", Calleigh teases in a sweet voice. A grin appears on Eric's face. "Oh is that my new nickname", Eric replies, "I like it, it's cute". Calleigh smiles thinking, 'Just like you'.

Calleigh and Eric are referring to the case they had that day where Eric had been diving for evidence and suddenly got surrounded by sharks. Calleigh walks to the sofa and sits down opening her can. Eric follows and sits next to her. He's staring at her. Calleigh locks eyes with him and he looks away. She could have sworn she saw him blushing. Eric turns to face Calleigh. "You know I have to admit, for a split second there, I was kinda scared. I was imagining those Sharks ripping me apart and feeding me to their young, my face would look like this", Eric screws up his face and Calleigh bursts out in laughter. "Hahahahaha", Calleigh puts her hand on his muscular arm. "They could never rip you apart; you're way too strong and muscular. Eric Smiles and screws his face up again making Calleigh burst out laughing again

End flashback

"Um Ms. As I was saying..." The Doctor brings Calleigh back to Earth and straightens his glasses, "There were some ... problems while we were treating your friend". Calleigh takes a deep breath and looks the Doctor in the eye.

"Problems?" she asks just above a whisper. "Yes problems", the doctor continues, "As we were treating you friend we were in a rush to get the anti-venom into his blood stream. We didn't we were in such a rush that we had no time to check his medical records" Calleigh just keeps staring at the Doctor, not blinking, too worried about what the Doctor might say next.

The Doctor clears his throat, "As soon as we gave him the injection he went into anaphylactic shock" "Oh my god he's not..." Calleigh couldn't finish the sentence. She couldn't even think of it, let alone say it. "Oh no, he's not dead", the Doctor replies after seeing the look on Calleigh's face. Calleigh let out the biggest sigh of relief that she had in her lungs. She rubbed her tired eyes and hope flooded back into her head. Her face had regained its colour and eyes were sparkling just like they used to. "But he instantly went into a coma", the Doctor's voice is steady.

Calleigh's eyes feel like they are on fire and she can't keep back the tears. She burst out crying and throws her arms around the Doctor. She doesn't care that people can hear her sobbing down the hall. She doesn't care that she is squeezing a man she doesn't even know, as tight as she can. She blames herself for getting her hopes up. She should have just listened to the Doctor, let him tell the whole story before she starts jumping to conclusions. It felt like her heart was slowly tearing inside and nothing she did would make her feel better. "It's ok, shhh ,shhh", the Doctor tried to comfort Calleigh, "Hey he might wake up from his coma, he might turn out to be fine"

The Doctor was shocked by Calleigh's response. Calleigh knew all to well that it could take years to months for someone to wake from a coma. When Calleigh was 6, her Uncle was in a car crash and he went into a coma. After about 2 years he woke up but just died. The Doctor was full of guilt. ' Oh God she took this hard', he thought to himself, 'What's she gonna do when she finds out what else I'm not telling her, she'll be so devastated. The truth is, this is just the tip of the ice berg, the truth might just rip her heart in two'

A/N: Hmmmm I wonder what the Doctors not telling Calleigh. You'll never guess what's about to happen. You'll be shocked by the outcome. Please tell me what you think. Good/Bad/Pathetic/Boring
