"What's going on? I got a... Speed..." Eric trailed off when he saw his best friend sitting there. "I... what..."

"Long story." he mumbled. "I paged you."

"Why? Why here? What's going on?"

"I um... I came home today and Calleigh was unconscious at the bottom of the stairs." Tim explained. "So I brought her here, to the hospital."

"Where is she?" Eric asked, sitting next to him.

"In with the doctors. They won't let me see her."

"How long have you been home?"

"Last night. I had to go undercover for the feds."

"So you know about Gabby?"

"Yeah."

"Where is she?"

"My in-laws. I heard you and Valera tied the knot."

"Yeah. Two months ago." Eric nodded. "Guess you changed my mind about a lot of things."

Tim smiled slightly and looked up as a doctor came up.

"Mr. Speedle?"

"Yes."

"I'm Dr. Coleman. Calleigh is your..."

"Wife."

"Okay. Has she consumed any alcohol in the past few hours?"

"Calleigh hasn't picked up a drink in about six years let alone the last few hours." Eric smirked.

"Is she okay?" Tim asked, worried shown all over his face.

"A concussion but she's fine. How many stairs did she fall down?"

"I don't know."

Dr. Coleman didn't look too sure. Tim sighed.

"What?" he asked.

"Have you um... ever..."

"Have I ever what?"

"Hit her?"

Tim was too shocked to say anything for a minute.

"Are you asking me if I hit my wife?" he finally said. Dr. Coleman nodded.

"We've found bruises on her. Her stomach, her face..."

"She fell down a flight of stairs!" Tim exclaimed. "I wasn't home! I came in and she was lying there. And no I have never hit her! When can I see her?"

"Now if you want. She's still unconscious however."

"I don't care. What room?"

"414."

Tim got up and quickly headed down the hall.

"Tim..."

He moved slightly and felt something lightly hit his shoulder.

"Honey..."

"Five more minutes Calleigh." he mumbled, burying his face in the coarse blankets. He reacted immediately, groaning as the itchy bedspread hit his face. "Calleigh..."

She smiled slowly at him and he leaned over and kissed her gently but passionately.

"God I was so worried." Tim breathed, resting his forehead against Calleigh's. His hand slowly caressed her cheek and she melted into his touch. "I didn't know what to think..."

"I'm fine. My head hurts but I'm fine." Calleigh assured. "What happened?"

"I was hoping you'd tell me. You remember anything?"

"I... I heard the garage door open and I thought it was you so I ignored it. I heard footsteps on the stairs. I didn't turn around. A cloth went over my mouth and then I was here."

"Chloroform." Tim muttered. "Doctor said you're okay. They just want to keep you here overnight."

"Okay."

"I swear I'll find him Calleigh."

"I know you will. You always do."
