1Chapter Two
"What did we do?" Valera asked, looking at Eric. Calleigh wouldn't come out of her dressing room and Tim was no where to be found. "Hagen's beginning to... to ask where Calleigh is. I don't know what happened last night but something changed her mind."
Calleigh glanced up at Horatio.
"I can't do this." she said, standing up. She wasn't even dressed yet.
"Why not? You were so happy about it yesterday." Horatio said.
"I know but last night... last night I went out with Valera and we met up with Eric and Tim. Eric and Val left and I was with Tim. We went and took a walk and started kissing then somehow we ended back up at my apartment and..."
"Say no more." Horatio interrupted. "You think you have feelings for Speed."
"I have! I always have. From the second he walked into your office. Its his own fault!" Calleigh exclaimed. "He never said anything."
"Its your fault you never said anything."
"Then last night he said he loved me and I said it back but I don't know if I meant it." Calleigh said, sinking down into a chair. "And Horatio I can't go out there and marry John."
"Its not my decision to make." Horatio said. Calleigh smiled and kissed his cheek.
"Will you cover for me?"
"Don't I always?"
He stood up and walked out of the room and into the main church. John looked expectantly at Horatio as he walked in and for the first time in his life, Horatio Caine didn't know what to say. He walked to the altar and cleared his throat.
"Um... I know we are all here to see Calleigh and John get married but I uh... eh... I don't think its going to be happening."
The guests looked stunned. John looked... well words couldn't describe what John looked like.
"What are you talking about?" Alexx asked.
"She apparently can't do this. I don't know if she ever will but she can't do this now."
"I'm going to go talk to her." John said.
"She's gone." Horatio said.
"Where'd she go?"
Horatio looked around for Tim and didn't see him.
"Home." he lied.

Calleigh knocked louder on Tim's door and he opened it, clad in only his boxers and looking very sleepy.
"Calleigh! What are you doing here? Why aren't you at your wedding?"
"Why aren't you there?" Calleigh asked, stepping into the apartment. Tim gaped for a second.
"I couldn't see you marry someone else after last night." he finally said.
"Well I couldn't marry John after last night." Calleigh said. "Tim, I love you. I realized it as I was driving over here but I always have."
"You have?"
"Yeah."
"Why didn't you say something?" Tim asked.
"I guess I was just waiting for my Prince Charming to sweep me off my feet." Calleigh smiled, stepping closer to Tim. He smiled and kissed her
"I love you too."

The team was gathered in Tim's apartment eating pizza.
"So what's going to happen now?" Horatio asked, sipping his beer.
"Whatever happens." Calleigh replied. She snuggled deeper into Tim's chest and he wrapped his arm around her.
"That was bold of you to leave your own wedding."Alexx said.
"I couldn't marry Hagen." Calleigh said. "Truth be told I don't think I ever loved him. I think it was a school-girl crush type of thing and I jumped at the thought of getting married."
"So it's all thanks to me and Valera." Eric said. "Thank God. I don't think you two would've realized your true feelings for one another ever."
"We did. We just didn't act on them." Tim said.
