Disclaimer: same as before
Pairings: Speed and Calleigh
"Timmy, honey you shouldn't be here." said Alexx walking up next to Calleigh and Tim and closing the morgue drawer.
"Cal, your back, i wouldn't have expected you back for awhile." said Horatio
"Well it has been 17 years." said Calleigh tearfully still being held tightly in Tim's arms.
"Calleigh, i think i deserve an explanation now." stated Tim without any expression on his face.
"Long story short FBI needed someone who knew how to work firearms and i had to fake my own death so that i could go undercover and issume another identity, so that there agents weren't a target anymore. I know it sounds really confusing and i know you must be mad at me but..Tim i would really like to go home know.. if thats ok with everyone." said Calleigh.
Horatio nodded. "Ok, let's go home." said Tim walking out the door with Calleigh but he turned around with one last look at the drawer that held his daughter captive and took a look at Alexx who gave him a sipathetic look.

Tim unlocked the door and let Calleigh in they walked into there bedroom without a weird to eachother. Until Calleigh broke the silence several minutes later.
"I'm sorry."
"For what Calleigh you didn't do anythinig." said Tim.
"For leaving, maybe if i didn't leave Libby would still be alive, and i would have actually have known our daughter."
"Cal, you can't blame yourself for this, you didn't do anything wrong, it was me who was here for the past 17 years i should have known if something was wrong with her." said Tim letting the tears fall. Calleigh got up from her old spot in the bed and then sat on Tim's lap in the recliner that was still in there room. Which suprised Calleigh because she loved it and she knew Tim hated it and she just figured he would have gotten rid of it the day she 'died'.
"I'm suprised you still have this litle old thing." said Calleigh clearly in her southern voice.
"Well you loved it and since you loved it i guess i inturn loved it to. (sighs) Calleigh i'm sorry i didn't protect her. i should have known that there was something wrong."
"Tim, shhhh. ok no more of that, do me a favor?"
"What?" asked Tim.
"Show me her."
"What do you mean?" asked Tim.
"Show me what i missed out on?"

Tim walked Calleigh into Libby's bedroom. Calleigh saw a queen sized bed with a white satin bedspread with matching white pillow cases. Purple sheets and lavender walls. Calleigh walked over to the dresser were she saw many trophies. For softball, ballet, soccer, and even choir and a award for the pianio in a band competion.
"Wow! She was really involved wasn't she." said Calleigh picking up one of the metals and stroking it.
"Well, i figured it's what you would have wanted." said Tim wrapping his arms around Calleigh's waist. Calleigh and Tim both began to sob and before they knew it they were both fast asleep on Libby's bed.

Calleigh awoke the next morning to a noise. Not horrible not frighting but peacful and calm. She quietly walked down the stairs and into the den. And saw a sight she hadn't seen in years. Tim Speedle. Her husband playing a white baby grand piano.
"Wow! i haven't heard you play in years." stated Calleigh resting her right shoulder on the door frame.
"Well i thought i'd have those lessons that my parents paid for put to use."
"You play beautifully."
"Not as good as her." said Tim Calleigh sighed and sat down next to Tim on the wooden bench.
"I love you."
"I love you to." said Tim. "Come on there's soemthing else i want to show you." Tim guided Calleigh into the living room where he sat her down on the coach and went over to the entertainment center and pulled out some home movies. He sat back down on the coach next to his wife.
"You said you wish you knew her, i taped everything that she ever did. Her first steps, her first dance resital, her first choir concert, band performance, cheerleading game, her prom everything is right there on tape."
Calleigh and Tim sat there and watched everything. Calleigh cried as she saw her daughter grow up through the tapes.
"Daddy daddy." said Libby
"Yeah baby.' said Tim
"Do you tape the whole resital?"
"Yeah unfortunatley, Lib he did, now atleast when your old and grey he can show this to you and remind you of your youth." said Eric.
"Delko, shutp up.' said Tim
"ok now she me how to turn this stupid camera off Tyler i believe that would be your level of intelligance." said Eric
The camera went dead and so did the tape. Tim looked down at Calleigh who had fallen asleep in his lap. he moved her and lifted her up and carried her upstairs. Maybe they wouldn't be ok today, or the next day, but adventually they'd find eachother again and they'd be happy. He wasn't sure exactly why Libby killed herself and he didn't think that he or Calleigh really needed to know why. All he knew is that she is in a better place. A world without crime, hatred, pain and sorrow.
