Chapter 2
Horatio turned to the rest of his team. "Ok guys I know that we are worried about Calleigh but we need to process the scene. Then we can take care of Call ok?" Everyone nodded and headed off to process the house. Once everyone had processed the house and Calleigh was holding the baby Horatio called everyone together. "Ok guy, I know that we have evidence to look at but I want to give Calleigh a chance to explain. Calleigh took a deep breath and began.
"Matt and Liz went to high school and college with me in Louisiana. They were my best friends and got married right out of college. They moved here two years ago because of Matt's job. About two months Sarah Elizabeth Owens was born. Liz and Matt asked me to be her god mother and now here we are trying to solve their murders," Calleigh said as she broke down and started to sob. Eric came forward and took Sarah out of her arms and Horatio wrapped his arms around her and held her as she cried. Horatio looked over Calleigh's at the guys and mouthed "Go back to the lab and tell Alexx what is going on. Take the baby with you. Her car seat is in the kitchen." Speed nodded and grabbed the car seat as he shut the door and headed for the hummer with the baby safely in Eric's arms.
Finally after a while Calleigh began to calm down and her sobs diminished to sniffles. "Horatio, I'm sorry for all of this."
"Sweetheart, look at me," Horatio said as he tilted Calleigh's chin up so she could see him. "You have nothing to be sorry for. This is a situation that you had no control over. You will be an excellent mom to that little girl. We will get through this together I promise," Horatio said as he leaned in and gave her a soft kiss.
"Thanks Horatio, now can we go back to the lab so I can get back to my bullets?" Calleigh asked with a smile.
"Sure we can Bullet Girl," Horatio replied as he put his hand at the small of Calleigh's back and guided her out to the hummer and headed back to the lab.
