Epilogue------

"Your team sucks!" Tim exclaimed. "I don't care! It's August! They're in last place! There is no way that they will get to the Playoffs if they keep playing like this!"

"Well excuse me! Not every baseball team is like the Yankees!" Eric snapped. "They get all the good players!"

"'Cause everyone wants to be a Yankee!"

"No because they have so much money. Spread the wealth!"

"Oh shut up Delko." Tim rolled his eyes and unlocked the back gate. Charlie shot out like a rocket. "Jesus Christ! Eric, get him! Yes go a little slower so he gets hit by the car coming down the street."

Eric came back into the backyard, Charlie under his arm.

"H!"

Horatio turned and caught the hot dog rolls Tim threw at him, well tried to.

"Good catch."

"Shut up Speed." Horatio mumbled and turned back to the grill. Tim snickered and leaned down towards Calleigh, kissing her softly. Eric made a barfing sound and Alexx threw a piece of a bun at him. Tim rolled his eyes at his wife and picked the baby up off her lap. She drooled on him, a big smile on her face and Calleigh handed him a napkin when she saw the disgusted look on his face.

"Daddy! Daddy!" Sammy squealed, running over. "Gross!"

"Tell me about." he mumbled, wiping his t-shirt. "You're gonna drive Daddy insane."

"You don't need me anymore?" Eric joked.

"Scratch that. Uncle Eric has already driven me to that point. Right Megan?"

The baby giggled as she played with her hat, or more like ate her hat. Tim smiled and kissed the dark curls on top of her head.

"We don't eat hats." he tugged it gently out of her hand and gave it to Calleigh. Valera walked over and Calleigh smiled as her son was placed in her lap. (gasp Twins! Lol)

"Someone likes to be messy." she teased, wiping a spot of mud off his cheek. "Takes after his daddy."

"Hey I resent that." Tim smirked. "Mommy's so mean isn't she Danny?"

"No!"

"Hah!" Calleigh stuck her tongue out at her husband.

"He says no to everything." Tim defended, sitting down. "But that's okay cause I got these two."

He had Sammy on one knee and Megan on the other. Tim looked across at Calleigh and she smiled at him as she fussed over Danny's unruly hair.

"See, now I don't understand this!" she exclaimed. "Megan's hair is curly but it's nice curls. This one looks like a maniac!"

"Cause he is a maniac!" Eric laughed. "Right Dan?"

"No!"

S/C-----

"So today was nice." Calleigh commented as she changed Danny into his pajamas. Tim nodded as he held a sleepy Megan and sat down in the rocking chair. "I don't know who's more tired. You or her."

Tim chuckled and shook his head.

"I was just thinking." he yawned.

"Mhmm sure." Calleigh smiled at him over her shoulder. Tim grinned back at her and glanced down at his sleeping daughter.

"I'll put her down now." he whispered, kissing Megan's forehead. Calleigh stopped with Danny, who was slowly agreeing with his twin's idea of sleep, for a second and smiled, watching Tim and Megan. He leaned against the railing and watched her for a few seconds, sucking sleepily on her pacifier, her hand clutching her blanket. "Alrighty. I'll get the other one to bed."

Calleigh nodded. Tim smiled at Danny, who's eyes were drooping.

"'Night buddy." he kissed his forehead and stroked his messy curls.

"No." Danny mumbled. Calleigh giggled and pushed Tim out of the way.

"Leave so I can get him to bed." she ordered.

"I'm at your mercy." Tim bowed slightly and left the nursery.

"Your daddy is such a character." Calleigh smiled, lifting Danny up. "But I still love him."

Tim grinned as he listened outside the door. He went downstairs and pointed to Sammy.

"Bed. Come on."

"One more hour? Please?" Sammy put on the puppy dog face.

"Don't try it. Come on."

"I'm a big girl."

"You're seven. That's not very big and besides your height kind of diminishes that statement." Tim teased. "I let you stay up and have fun at the party. Its eight thirty. The twins went to bed. Now you must."

"The twins stayed up past their bedtime." Sammy said.

"Yes and they are out for the count up in their cribs. Come on. I'll read you a story."

"No."

"Okay." Tim nodded. "When Mommy comes down you can tell her why you're not in bed yet."

"She'll blame you." Sammy said, a know-it-all tone in her voice.

"You'd want me to get in trouble?"

"No but I don't want to go to bed. It's summer! I don't have school and even if I did have school it's Friday!"

"Why aren't you in bed?" Calleigh asked, walking downstairs.

"Because Daddy gives in to me and can't stand up for himself." Sammy replied. Tim's eyes widened and Calleigh tried not to laugh.

"Alright that's it!" Tim grabbed Sammy and tossed her over his shoulder.

"No! I don't wanna go to bed!" she squealed as Tim tickled her.

"You're not. You're gonna go outside." he replied, opening the patio door. Calleigh smiled and watched from the patio. Tim held Sammy out over the pool and she squirmed in his arms. "You want to apologize?"

"No. I only speak the truth." she smiled. Tim was having a hard time not laughing.

"So if I drop you in you won't care?"

"It's cold!"

"You don't want to go to bed and I'm not letting you watch TV so this is your only other option." Tim waited as Sammy pondered this. He shook his head and walked away from the pool.

"See! You wouldn't have dropped me in." she said. "Because you give in to me."

"Alright let's go." Tim turned back around towards the pool.

"No!" Sammy giggled. "I'm sorry."

"That's what I thought." Tim smirked. "Say good night to Mommy."

"Good night Mommy."

"Night angel." Calleigh kissed her forehead and Tim started towards the stairs. A few minutes later, with much protesting from Sammy and a few more threats about the pool from Tim, Sammy laid down and was asleep before he even said goodnight. Tim smiled and kissed her cheek, then walked out of the room, turning the light off as he did. He walked back downstairs and looked around for Calleigh, then heard the radio going in the kitchen. Smiling, Tim walked into the kitchen and watched Calleigh clean out the dishwasher while singing. She sighed deeply as she went to place a bowl in the top cabinet but couldn't reach it. Tim walked up behind her, slipped one arm around her waist, and put the bowl away for her.

"She's asleep."

"I figured." Calleigh leaned back into Tim's chest and smiled.

"So what about you Mrs. Speedle? Want to get thrown in the pool?" Tim teased, his warm breath tickled Calleigh's ear. She giggled and shook her head against him. "Okay. I thought it'd be fun."

"Skydiving would be fun to you." Calleigh said as a slow song came on. Tim turned her around so he was looking at her.

"Yeah I guess you're right." he grinned, moving both of them slowly to the music. Calleigh molded against him perfectly.

"I always am."

Tim snickered and looked at Calleigh, a loving look in his eyes.

"What?" she asked, slowly losing herself in his deep brown eyes. Tim shook his head.

"I love you." he replied. "I love everything about you."

"I love you too."

"I love you though. I love you so much."

"Then show me." Calleigh smiled. Tim grinned and they started walking towards the stairs.

THE END... well for now at least.

A/N: I was wondering if I should continue... show how Megan and Danny are when they're a bit older but I haven't come up with a plot yet. I may though so keep an eye out for it. Thanks so much for all of your reviews.
