"You—you're married." Angela said. "When did this happen?"
Tim bit his lip.
"Timothy..."
"About a year and a half ago."
"A YEAR AND A HALF?"
"It'll be two years on February 25." Tim supplied. "Mom..."
She shook her head and Tim turned to his father.
"Tim, when did you plan on telling us?" Jonathan asked.
"Good question." Calleigh muttered.
"I didn't know how to tell you." Tim replied.
"Oh its okay." Angela said.
"Really?"
"Jonathan our son is a disgrace!"
Calleigh's eyes widened and Tim buried his head in his hands.
"Well... I um... they got married Angie. We can't reverse it." Jonathan said.
"Nothing a divorce can't fix!" she snapped. "How long were you dating? How come we never knew about Calleigh?"
"Well um... see Horatio, our boss sent us undercover to catch a serial killer." Tim said. "We had to pose as newlyweds."
"So you were forced to get married." Angela said. "Jonathan call the lawyer!"
"I'm not done! We didn't really get married. At least not then." Tim exclaimed. "And Dad, don't pick up the phone. While we were undercover we told each other how we felt about each other and we started dating."
"How long ago was this?"
"About a year and a half."
"Timothy! How long were you dating?"
"A week."
"She forced you into this didn't she!" Angela exploded.
"No! When we came home I asked her to marry me." Tim muttered. "Look, she had nothing to do with it. All she did was say yes."
"So I suppose the night you got home you went off and got married?"
"Yeah."
"Tim, do you have any common sense at all anymore?"
"Don't think I had any to begin with." he muttered. "Mom, look we love each other and we've made it two years almost."
"Oh God Tim do not start talking about true love and all that garbage." she sighed, rubbing her forehead. "What am I supposed to tell all of our friends? They'll ask why they weren't invited to a wedding."
"Then you either tell them the truth or you tell them it was a family thing only." he said.
"Calleigh, will you excuse for a few minutes?" Angela asked. Tim nodded.
"Just go wait up in my room."
Calleigh nodded and disappeared from the room.
"Tim, you have always been one to have harebrained ideas." Angela said.
"Yeah. It was a harebrained idea to marry the woman I love." he nodded. "You're right Mom."
"You rushed into a marriage!"
"That we both wanted!"
"Tim, you're..."
"I'm not a kid Mom. I'm 30. I can make my own decisions."
"Tim, I'm not angry because you got married. I'm disappointed that you waited a week after you met some girl and then married her! Then you don't have the guts to call and tell us that you got married!"
"It wasn't just some girl that I met a week before marrying her!" Tim exclaimed. "I knew Calleigh for six years."
"And you were only in a relationship for a week!"
Tim gave his father a pleading look. Jonathan sighed.
"Angela..."
"No! Tim, I can see when she walked in here that there was something about her. She... she.. I can tell she doesn't love you."
"Oh shut up!"
"Excuse me?"
"Mom, do you think that she would've stayed with me for this long if she didn't love me?"
"Please Timothy. You're blinded by your feelings for her that you don't even realize how she is. You never could get a girlfriend when you were younger. She pities you."
"Angela, alright." Jonathan said, resting his hand on her shoulder.
"Look." Tim spat. "Just because your marriage sucks doesn't mean mine does."
"How dare you talk to me like that!" Angela exclaimed.
"You wonder why I never come home. This is the reason! I can't talk to you without it turning into a screaming match. You don't understand. I'm not some little baby that you need to shelter because you think I'm not making the right choices. I have my own life, my own fam..."
"Your own what?"
"I don't know if I want to tell you after you freaked out on me just now. That's why I didn't call and tell you. I knew you'd get all angry and I didn't want to have to deal with it."
"Tim, just say whatever you need to say." Jonathan said.
"Calleigh is pregnant."
