Calleigh smiled faintly, hearing Tim snoring softly behind her. Everything was perfect.
"MOMMY! DADDY!"
Everything was really perfect. Tim groaned when his daughter jumped on him with full force.
"Samantha Marie you better have a good explanation for being in here at... 9:45?"
Calleigh sighed. It was too early. Well not really but this was their first day off in a while thanks to some serial killers and Tim and Calleigh chose to sleep in late but with a five year old they didn't see that happening. It really wasn't happening when they had a five year old and it was Christmas morning.
"I'm hungry!" Sammy said, smiling the smile Calleigh gave Tim when she wanted something. "Daddy..." she added in a whiney tone.
"What?" Tim whined back.
"You do that really good." Calleigh smiled, putting an arm around Tim.
"Thanks." he muttered. "Sammy just go wait downstairs and let us wake up."
"No! I'm not just hungry! It's Christmas!"
"I knew there was a reason why we had off." Tim said jokingly. Calleigh slapped his chest lightly. "Again, go wait downstairs and let us wake up. Don't touch anything either."
"Not even one?" Sammy stuck her bottom lip out and gave her father the puppy dog look.
"Don't even try it."
Sammy sighed loudly and crawled off Tim and ran downstairs. He turned and looked at Calleigh, smiling at her.
"Good morning."
"Good morning. Merry," Tim kissed her softly. "Christmas."
"Merry Christmas." Calleigh mumbled. "We should get downstairs before she rips her gifts open without us."
"Wait a second." Tim murmured, kissing her again, longer this time.
"Save that for the mistletoe." Calleigh teased, pulling away from her husband of seven years.
"Not fair. Eric will be hogging it. So uh... did Santa bring me anything?" Tim winked at her. Calleigh laughed and kissed him quickly.
"I guess you'll just have to see if you were a good boy."
"Oh I was."
"DADDY!"
Tim sighed and rolled out of bed.
"I swear she gets this impatience from you."
"Keep it up and you won't get anything." Calleigh teased. "And I'm not impatient!"
"Well neither am I." Tim mumbled. "She must have been hanging around Delko too much."

"There's no more presents?" Sammy pouted.
"Samantha you greedy little thing you!" Tim exclaimed.
"I like opening presents!" she defended. "And my birthday isn't for another 6 months. Actually 5 months and 29 days."
Calleigh chuckled.
"How come it doesn't snow here?" Sammy complained.
"Because its too warm." Tim replied. "So we've established that it doesn't snow in Miami and that the presents are all gone."
'Just like one of you will be gone soon.' someone thought, watching the Speedle family through the window.

"Daddy?"
Tim looked back at Sammy as he turned her light off. He flicked it back on.
"What?"
"Dana has a little sister. Why don't we have a little sister?"
Tim sighed and rested his head against the doorframe.
"Because Sammy... it's... we just don't."
"That's not an answer." she sat up in bed and crossed her arms. Tim smirked slightly, thinking how much Sammy looked like a miniature Calleigh right then.
"It is tonight. Good night."
"Good night." Sammy muttered and crawled back under her blankets. "I love you Daddy."
"I love you too Sammy." Tim smiled and turned the light off again. He sighed as he walked into his bedroom and shut the door slightly.
"What's that sigh for?" Calleigh asked, kissing him as he laid down next to her.
"Your daughter would like to know why Dana has a little sister but she doesn't."
Calleigh tried to hide her smile but she couldn't.
"Maybe we should have another one." she said. Tim eyed her suspiciously.
"You're not pregnant are you?"
"Would it upset you if I was?"
"No. I'd be overjoyed."
"Well I'm not."
"Oh." Tim said. "Well I do want at least one more."
He leaned over and kissed Calleigh gently then deepened the kiss.
"Now?" she whined slightly.
"Wasn't I good boy all year?" Tim mumbled, kissing her again. Calleigh couldn't complain.
