1"A baby?"

"Tim, aren't you a scientist?" Dr. Williams joked.

"I'm sorry. This is a... total shock."

"Are you sure?" Calleigh asked. She had... well the thought had crossed her mind but she never actually thought.

"Yes. Eight weeks."

"Oh my God."

"Well um... congratulations. Calleigh, when you go out you have to set up an appointment for next month."

She nodded numbly and stood up. Tim followed her.

"Thank you." Calleigh mumbled. Dr. Williams nodded. The three walked out into the waiting room and Calleigh quickly made an appointment with the front desk. Tim waited outside the office, leaning against the wall, his head bowed. Calleigh came out and looked at him, a nervous look on her face.

"Tim..."

"A baby."

"Yeah." Calleigh smiled. Tim looked up and pulled her into his arms. "Okay good. You're happy about this."

"Happy? Cal, I'm... I can't even explain it." he grinned. "I love you so much."

"I love you too. Oh God I thought you were mad."

"Mad? No. Hell no. Shocked? Its wearing off." Tim said. "Wow. We're... we're gonna be parents."

S/C----

"ME! A FATHER!" Tim exploded. "Oh God..."

Eric howled with laughter.

"Is that even possible?" he gasped.

"Apparently! I... I'm not father material!"

"Yeah I know that." Eric nodded. "Didn't you tell Calleigh you're happy about it all?"

"I am Eric. I really am. I mean, its our baby." Tim said, softening up a bit. "But I can't be a father!"

"Again, Yeah I know that."

"You're a big boost of confidence." Tim muttered and Eric clapped him on the shoulder.

"It can't be that bad. I mean its a baby. How much damage can it do?" he said.

S/C-----

"So I guess you're feeling better." Alexx smiled. Calleigh nodded. "I mean you're out, shopping."

"I'm glad Horatio gave you a break."

"I'm on call. There's no bodies, yet at least."

"Don't jinx it." Calleigh smiled as she pulled into the mall parking lot.

"Okay. So what did the doctor say?" Alexx asked.

"She said I'm fine."

"Oh. So it was just a cold?"

"Yep." Calleigh nodded. The two friends walked in silence as they went into the mall. They were in a baby store and Alexx was looking a bit humourous. "Isn't this cute?"

Alexx looked at what Calleigh was holding. It was a bib that said, 'Daddy's Little Angel.'

"I think I'll buy it." Calleigh said.

"Sugar that's adorable but... what are you gonna put it on?"

"A baby. Duh."

"Calleigh, you don't have a baby." Alexx said as Calleigh picked up a little pink dress. "You're not even pre... oh my God."

Calleigh smiled to herself as her friend finally caught on. Alexx smiled and hugged her tightly.

"You're pregnant?"

Calleigh nodded.

"Eight weeks."

"Oh so this is what the doctor said." Alexx smirked. "What did Timmy say?"

"He's happy. We both are. Alexx, I'm gonna be a mom." Calleigh said, a big smile on her face.

"I know. This is going to be so much fun! We'll go baby shopping and... and... all that good baby stuff!"

"You sound more excited than me!"

The two laughed and walked up to the register.

"The next few months are going to take forever to come." Calleigh complained. Alexx laughed. "Tim's gonna be annoyed that I went shopping. He doesn't like when I do."

"Well he'll understand when he sees that this shopping was for his baby."

"Hah! He'll say I spent too much. Oh God..."

"Oh God what?"

"I have to go shopping for an engagement present. Tim's parents are throwing his brother an engagement party." Calleigh said, almost to herself but Alexx heard her.

"Where are you two going?"

"Syracuse."

"Finally meeting his parents huh?" Alexx teased. "You two have been married what? A year and a half now?"

Calleigh nodded, remember the past year and a half.

"He says its for my own good." she said. "That I've never met them."

"Why?"

"I guess because we got married so fast and no one knew and his parents might be disappointed." Calleigh shrugged. "I don't know. Or maybe they're some high society people and I'm out of his league according to them."

Alexx laughed.

"Honey, I'm sure its Tim's own paranoia." she said as one of their beepers went off. "Its mine. We have to go back. I'm sorry Cal."

"Its okay. I got to shop." she grinned.

S/C----

"Oh no. She has a shopping bag." Tim teased, seeing Calleigh enter the break room. "What's the damage?"

"$15.27." she replied. Eric let out a whistle.

"That the lowest you ever spent Calleigh?" he smirked.

"No. Once I spent 4.19." she smiled.

"Congratulations by the way." Eric added, hugging her.

"Thanks. I see Tim has spread the good news." Calleigh said. Tim smiled at her and peeked into the bag.

"Already babe?"

"I took Alexx shopping and we went into a baby store and she started saying that I was insane cause I didn't have a baby and I wasn't even pregnant and then she realized and we caused quite a scene."

"Women." Eric muttered, shaking his head. Tim snickered and went through the bag.

"Do we magically know we're having a girl?" he asked, holding up the frilly pink dress.

"Well it was cute." Calleigh defended. Eric chuckled and Tim smiled, seeing the bib. He was ecstatic that he and Calleigh were going to be parents in about 7 months but the thought of being a father scared him. Would he be a good enough father to their child? Would the baby even like him? "Tim?"

"What?" he asked, putting the clothes back into the bag.

"You got a bit misty eyed there man." Eric teased. "You're not turning into a sap on me are you?"

Tim glared at him.

"Is it a crime to think?"

"No but when a guy starts getting teary over a bib I begin to worry."
