Epilogue

"Hey, wow..." Eric trailed off. Calleigh smiled up at him.

"What?" she asked. "This cute thing?"

Tim smiled down at the baby in his arms.

"Congratulations guys." Eric said. "Really. She... it is a she right?"

"Mhmm."

"She's something else. Nice job Speed." Eric smirked. "Didn't know you had it in you."

"I'd smack you but I am holding my daughter."

"What's her name?" Eric asked.

"We don't know." Calleigh said. "What does she look like to you?"

Eric cocked his head to the side, staring down at the baby.

"My honest opinion?" he asked.

"Never mind."

"How come I wasn't informed?" Horatio asked from the doorway.

"I told you I forgot someone to call." Tim smirked.

"I had to hear from Alexx... well the whole lab heard. Congratulations. God.."

"What?"

"Tim Speedle a father..." Horatio sighed. "Never thought I'd see the day."

The team laughed.

"Why is that so hard to imagine?" Tim asked.

"Because its you." Eric replied. "There's no other way to put it."

"I think he'll do okay." Horatio said, sitting down.

"Yeah until Calleigh catches him riding off into the sunset on his bike with the baby." Eric said, smirking at the thought. "Then he won't have to worry about doing okay."

"I can't believe it!" Alexx exclaimed from the doorway. "Ooh let me hold her."

Tim handed his daughter off to his friend, who seemed to have melted at the sight of the baby.

"Oh she's adorable." she sighed. "Now Eric..."

"Oh God. Alexx, I probably have a thousand kids roaming the world." he said. "Go find them."

"Eric Delko a father... and you said me being one was bad." Tim smirked.

"Not bad.... unusual." Horatio said. "What's her name."

"I think Alexx." Alexx smiled.

"That's not a bad idea." Tim smiled.

"What about Eric... a?" Eric suggested.

"Yeah and then she'll be the female version of you."

"What about Alexandra Erica Speedle?" Calleigh suggested.

"Where does the um... Horati...a? Yeah... where does that fit in?" Horatio asked.

"Horatia?" Tim laughed. "Where did you come up with that?"

"Where did Eric come up with Erica?"

"Okay you just had a senior moment there." Calleigh smirked. "Tell you what... when we have a son we'll name him Horatio."

"No offense but no." Tim said. "Horatio Speedle?"

"Guys, this one isn't even a day old yet." Eric said. "And you're already talking about another one and couldn't you name your son Tim Speedle Jr.?"

"No. I don't want to burden him with my name." Tim said. "I really don't like it."

"Everyone calls you Tim though."

"No. Everyone calls me Speed."

"I call you Tim." Calleigh pointed out.

"Yeah but... you're different."

"How so?"

"You're my wife. When you say it... it's a turn on. When Eric says it... well it's a turn off."

"Gee thanks." he smirked. "What are you naming her for real?"

"I really liked Alexandra... no offense to you guys." Calleigh said, smiling at Horatio and Eric.

"Yeah then there will be two Alexxs around." Eric said.

"We could call her Ally or Lexi..."

"Or just stick to Alexandra." Horatio pointed out. "That's a pretty name."

"Or we could not name her Alexandra at all." Tim said. "What's with all the 'a' names anyway?"

"Oh we'll figure it out soon." Calleigh said.

"Do you want her back?" Alexx asked.

"No. Keep her. We'll have her for the next eighteen years." Calleigh smiled.

"Besides I don't think you want to give her back." Tim said.

"She's too cute." Alexx sighed. "She looks like an Alexandra."

"Oh stop with the names!" Eric groaned. "She looks like a puny little thing. That's what she looks like."

Tim gave him a good smack across the back of his head.

"Ow. Jeez I was kidding man." Eric muttered, rubbing his head. "She's beautiful. Like her mom."

Calleigh smiled.

"Well that's had to have been the nicest thing I've heard from you in a long time." she said.

"Did you just hit on my wife?" Tim asked, staring at Eric.

"No. I complemented your daughter and complemented Calleigh. No hitting on best friend's wife. I know." he replied.

Calleigh rolled over in the middle of night and reached out for Tim, but he was not there. She opened her eyes slowly and glanced around her bedroom.

"Tim?"

When he didn't reply, Calleigh got out of bed and walked into the hallway.

"What are you doing?" she asked. Tim glanced at her.

"I like watching her." he replied sheepishly. Calleigh smiled and wrapped an arm around his waist. "Thank you."

"For what?" she asked, looking up at him.

"For marrying me. For giving me that wonderful little girl in there." Tim replied.

"Well you did help me out on that one." Calleigh smirked, kissing him.

"I love you."

"I love you too. Let's go back to bed."

Tim gave a protesting look.

"She'll be there in the morning." Calleigh said. Tim sighed and nodded.

"I'll be right there."

"Oh is this a father-daughter bonding time?" she teased. Tim shook his head. Calleigh rolled her eyes and walked back into their bedroom. Tim quietly walked into his daughter's room, watching her sleep. She looked peaceful, making Tim smile. He bent down and kissed her forehead, a sleepy smile appearing on her face. Calleigh glanced into the room and smiled. Tim glared at her as he walked out. Calleigh slipped an arm around his waist and he scooped her into his arms.

"You know I'm glad everything turned out okay."

"So am I."

"Just think. If I hadn't gotten shot you wouldn't have said sorry and I wouldn't have any of this." Tim said, kissing her.

"I'm sure I would've said sorry sooner or later." Calleigh muttered.

"But we don't know that. If you hadn't said sorry I'd still be living with Delko and we wouldn't have our daughter and I'd be alone and mean."

"Trust me I would've said sorry. I can't live without you."

Calleigh pulled Tim's head down and kissed him passionately. He walked back into their bedroom and pushed the door closed with his foot. Tim set Calleigh down on the bed and she smiled at him.

"Glad we have the same thoughts going on." Tim said, sitting next to her. "You mean everything to me, you and Ally. I don't want to think about what my life would be with without you two."

"Well I don't plan on finding out. Tim, he's gone. He's not coming back. He's given up. And even if he does come back, nothing is going to happen." Calleigh said. "He doesn't have the guts to."

"Good 'cause I don't plan on finding out either and if he does come back, I'll kill him." he said. "Calleigh, I'm never going to let something happen to you and Ally. I'd go crazy without you."

She smiled softly and laid down. Tim followed her lead, putting an arm around her waist.

"I love you." they said at the same time, causing Calleigh to giggle. Tim leaned over and kissed her gently. Her eyes closed and so did Tim's, then he spoke up.

"Babe?"

"What?"

"If Ally gets up... I want to get her."

"Whatever. I could use the extra sleep."

"Do you get jealous that she loves me more?"

"That is not true!" Calleigh exclaimed, her eyes flying wide open. Tim smiled at her.

"Good night."

"No. We're going to solve this." Calleigh said, sitting up.

"I love you."

"No. Don't even..."

Tim snored softly. Calleigh whacked him with a pillow. Tim ignored her as she went into all these reasons why she was loved more.

"How long are you going to go on?"

"Until I get my point across."
