1Tim stared at Calleigh, wide eyed.

"I uh... I just came... you uh... pocketbook... car... uh... I'll go." he stammered, trying to form a coherent sentence. He handed over the black pocketbook and turned to walk away but he couldn't. His eyes were glued to the tiny brunette attached to Calleigh's leg.

"We need to talk." Calleigh said. "Come on Jessie, Mommy needs to get in the house."

She picked her daughter up and carried her into the living room. Tim was rooted to the porch.

"Tim you can come in." Calleigh called. He licked his lips and walked into the house, shutting the door behind him.

'She's Stokes's.' Tim thought as he walked into the living room.

"So..." he tried to make it like it wasn't a big deal. Calleigh was busy putting on a Blue's Clues video to occupy Jessie. She finally got it to play and turned around, dragging Tim into the kitchen. "What's going on Calleigh?"

She stared at him for a few minutes and her eyes filled up with tears.

"I don't even know what to tell you." she mumbled, wiping her eyes.

"The truth would be nice." Tim said.

"Remember when we first started dating? The night at club? We um... we went back to your place..."

"Yeah." Tim nodded. "So she um... she's ours?"

"Yeah."

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"You would've freaked!" Calleigh exclaimed. "We talked about kids and you said you didn't want any!"

"I didn't want any then but I would've dealt with it!"

"Oh that's nice!"

"Calleigh, you just left! No explanation! You should've told me. I wouldn't have turned you away. I loved you! I still love you! I never stopped! But uh... obviously you moved on. Look I came to give you your pocketbook. I'll see you later." Tim stood up and headed towards the door. He stopped in the living room and stared at Jessie for a few seconds. His thoughts were shattered when he felt Calleigh's arm go around him.

"I want you to stay." she said. "You deserve to know her. Besides we need to talk about a few things."

Tim nodded and Calleigh and him sat down on the couch on either side of Jessie.

"Hi." she smiled, looking up at Tim. Their identical eyes connected and Tim smiled back at her.

"Hey."

"Momma, who he?" Jessie looked at Calleigh.

"This, angel, is your daddy." she smiled. Jessie looked back at Tim, who was still smiling. He tried to be mad at Calleigh. He really did but he just loved her more than ever right then.

S/C-----

Tim watched from the doorway as Calleigh put their daughter to bed. Their daughter... He had spent the whole day with them and in a matter of a few hours Tim loved Jessie. She definitely was his daughter.

"Good night Daddy." Jessie smiled. Tim smiled back at her.

"'Night Jess."

Calleigh kissed her forehead.

"I love you angel."

"Love you Mommy." she mumbled and quickly fell asleep. Calleigh smiled and turned back to Tim, following him downstairs.

"She's amazing." he said. Calleigh smiled as she turned the radio on at a low volume.

"I'm sorry I never told you." she said. "I really am."

"Well what's done is done." Tim muttered. "Does Nick know about her?"

"Yeah. She doesn't call him Dad if that's what you're wondering. It's Uncle Nicky." Calleigh said. They sat in silence for a few seconds before a new song came on.

Empty spaces fill me up with holes

Distant faces with no place left to go

Without you within me I can't find no rest

Where I'm going is anybody's guess

I've tried to go on like I never knew you

I'm awake but my world is half asleep

I pray for this heart to be unbroken

But without you all I'm going to be is incomplete

Tim glanced at Calleigh and she took his breath away. He really meant what he had said before. He never stopped loving her.

Voices tell me I should carry on

But I am swimming in an ocean all alone

Baby, my baby

It's written on your face

You still wonder if we made a big mistake

I've tried to go on like I never knew you

I'm awake but my world is half asleep

I pray for this heart to be unbroken

But without you all I'm going to be is incomplete

Calleigh felt him staring at her. She felt stupid. All of this could've been stopped if she had just told him and not been afraid of what she thought and what really would have happened.

I don't mean to drag it on, but I can't seem to let you go

I don't wanna make you face this world alone

I wanna let you go (alone)

I've tried to go on like I never knew you

I'm awake but my world is half asleep

I pray for this heart to be unbroken

But without you all I'm going to be is incomplete

Incomplete

Tim didn't know what made him do it... maybe it was the song, maybe it was his gut, maybe it just plain common sense but he leaned over and kissed Calleigh better than he could ever remember. And during their two month dating time they had some good kisses. Part of Calleigh wanted to stop, knowing that she was only hurting Nick and herself. Tim would be gone in a few days when they found Sam Boyd. She was also just using Tim because she... oh God she had forgotten how good of a kisser he was. The other part of Calleigh wanted nothing more than to stay here forever in his arms.

"I can't do this." she said breathlessly.

"You're right. You're engaged." Tim mumbled. "Cal, I'm sorry. Don't know what came over me."

"But it felt right." she went on and pulled Tim back towards her. His eyes widened slightly when he felt her warm breath on his ear and said something he didn't expect. "I want you so bad. Tim..."

"Yeah?"

"Make love to me."

"You sure? I mean... look what happened the last time we did that." he said.

"I know and I don't regret her for a second. Tim..."

He silenced her with a kiss and the next thing Calleigh knew she was being placed in the center of her bed and Tim's lips never left her's.

A/N: I obviously do not own that song... the backstreet boys do. it was on the radio as i wrote this and thought, 'wow this really goes with this story.' lol.
