1Tim sat on his side of the bed, an upset look on his face as he watched Nicky sleep between him and Calleigh. She closed her eyes for a minute and Tim could tell she was dozing off.

"Babe..."

Calleigh's eyes snapped back open.

"I'm fine."

"Get some sleep." Tim murmured.

"Why don't you?"

"Because I'm not the one that looks like she's about to drop dead at any moment."

Calleigh laughed quietly.

"I'm not tired."

"Yeah you are. I can tell you are. He's not going anywhere. I'll make sure of that." Tim said and Calleigh saw the serious look in his eyes. "God knows you haven't slept properly in the past couple of weeks. If anything happens I'll wake you."

"I don't know Tim. This is all so surreal, having lost him twice already and... I feel like I don't want to take my eyes of him ever again." she sighed. "I'm sure you understand if it were Katie."

"I understand now. We don't need to go playing favorites. Remember he's my son too. I love him just as much."

"I know you do."

"He doesn't." Tim muttered.

"What are you talking about?" Calleigh asked. Tim shook his head and walked out into the hallway. Calleigh followed him. "Tim..."

"When I was uh... going through the house today I heard Nicky and Matt talking."

"About?"

"Nick told Matt that I wasn't coming because I was busy with work and he didn't mean anything to me anymore."

"Oh Tim... he was annoyed." Calleigh said softly. "He didn't mean it. And... I'm not taking his side but you do work a lot and break quite a few promises to him."

"I don't mean it though." Tim muttered. "I promise Calleigh... after the trial is done we'll go on a long vacation. Anywhere you guys want to go."

She looked up at him, a shocked, yet pleased look in her eyes.

"What?"

"You're staying?"

"Yeah. I realized that last night. I don't belong anywhere but here." Tim said. "I love you and I was being stupid for thinking that I could just leave you, Nicky, and Katie like it wasn't any big deal."

Calleigh smiled as her arms went around Tim's neck.

"Really?"

"Really." Tim murmured, his eyes focused on Calleigh's inviting lips. He couldn't help it any longer. He dipped his head and Calleigh tilted her head upwards but before they could kiss...

"Mom?"

"He needs you more than I do."

"I'm not done with you." Calleigh smiled, walking back into their bedroom. "What's the matter Nicky?"

"Where'd you go?" he asked sleepily. Tim watched the two of them from the doorway.

"I was talking with your dad."

Nicky nodded.

"Don't leave Mommy." he mumbled, curling up in Calleigh's arms. She looked up at Tim, tears in her eyes. He walked in and sat next to Calleigh.

"Oh God Tim..."

"I know..." he nodded. "Baby everything's fine now."

"Yeah but just because its fine doesn't mean its going to make him forget." Calleigh said.

FEW WEEKS LATER

Calleigh smirked as she saw Tim and Nicky exit Space Mountain. She gripped Katie's hand tightly and met them halfway.

"So how was it?"

"Dizzy." Nicky admitted, stumbling a bit. Tim snickered and took Katie from Calleigh and hoisted her up into his arms.

"How about some Stitch?"

"Stitch!" Katie exclaimed.

"What is it?" Calleigh asked.

"You sit in a chair the whole time." Tim replied. "Really stupid but they'll enjoy it."

He set Katie on the ground and Nicky took her hand.

"Come on Katie." he smiled, leading her towards the next ride. Calleigh smiled, seeing the two of them together and Tim slipped his hand into hers as they started following their kids.

"You okay?"

"Yeah. I'm just... trying to get past everything." Calleigh replied. "How about you?"

"I'm fine." Tim lied and he knew Calleigh knew he was lying. "I can't help but hate myself you know."

"I know and I've given up on trying to help you. Hopefully in your own time you're realize your stupidity."

"Look at us." Tim smirked. "We're on vacation and we're acting all dreary."

Calleigh laughed and Tim kissed her softly.

"We better catch up to them." she mumbled against his lips.

"We should. Or they'll think we're a pair of old farts." Tim smirked.

"Speak for yourself." Calleigh winked, slipping out of her husband's embrace.

"Hey!" Tim raced after her. "That was mean!"

"What was mean?" Nicky asked. Tim leaned against Calleigh, clearly out of breath from running.

"Nothing. Your dad just decided to start being truthful about certain things." Calleigh smiled.

"You two are weird." Nicky muttered. "Come on. The doors are opening."

He and Katie started for the doors and Calleigh smiled at Tim.

"Have a nice run?" she teased.

"It wasn't that far."

"Mhmm."

About fifteen minutes later the four stumbled out of 'Stitch's Great Escape', leaving Nicky laughing, Calleigh gagging, and Tim shaking his head. Katie didn't mind the burping, the spitting, and horrible smell that the attraction had to offer. She was just happy she got to see her favorite TV character.

"That was disgusting." Calleigh muttered.

"That was hilarious!" Nicky laughed.

"Yeah I bet you liked getting burped on." Tim smirked, ruffling his hair. "That was the most disgusting smell I have ever smelt."

"I want ice cream." Katie said, tugging on Tim's shirt. He nodded and held her hand as they walked to the ice cream stand.

"That was the most disgusting?" Calleigh asked. "Nuhuh. Nothing beats a decomp."

"You just had to bring that up didn't you!"

"You smelled horrible for days."

"Yeah well you try being locked in a room with a decomposing body. And that chili dog was pretty disgusting."

"I thought my shoulders were gonna fall of when the thing kept bouncing on me." Calleigh complained. "They hurt."

Tim smiled and squeezed her shoulder gently.

"You guys are disgusting." Nicky muttered, rolling his eyes.

"Don't worry Nick. One day you'll have someone as great as your mom." Tim said, then picked Katie up. "And you my angel better not meet anyone until I'm dead because I will hurt him."

Calleigh smiled as she paid for the ice cream, hearing Katie laugh behind her.

"You have such a wonderful family." the cashier said dreamily. "Wish my husband was like that with our kids."

Calleigh glanced over her shoulder and smiled, seeing Tim with their kids.

"Thanks. They're one of a kind."

The cashier smiled and handed Calleigh her change.

"Enjoy the rest of the day here at Magic Kingdom."

"I'm sure we will." Calleigh smiled and turned around. "Here Nick."

He gratefully accepted the chocolate ice cream and Calleigh smiled at Katie.

"And here you go." she handed Tim the vanilla ice cream and he licked a tiny bit off.

"Daddy!" Katie squealed.

"Oh this was for you?" he teased, handing the cone over.

"Its going to take forever just to get to the gate." Tim commented. Calleigh tightened her grip on Nicky's hand as they slowly moved towards the exit.

"Its okay."

"The line for the monorail is going to be even longer."

"Stop complaining."

"We can take the ferry."

"Why? The monorail goes through The Grand Floridian. I don't want to have to backtrack." Calleigh said.

"Okay." Tim yawned. "Long day. Have fun Nicky?"

"Yeah. Where are we going tomorrow?"

Calleigh smiled.

"Wherever you want." Tim replied. "We've got... MGM, Epcot, Animal Kingdom, Islands of Adventure, Universal Studios, Seaworld..."

"I don't care. They all sound fun." Nicky said. "Are we going back to the hotel?"

"Yeah. You tired?"

Nicky nodded, emitting a long yawn in the process. Tim was right, it did take them a while to get to the monorail but none of them cared. Just as long as they were together.

S/CA/N: Well its finally finished, yay!
