Tim burst into his house and Horatio pointed upstairs. He nodded and quickly went upstairs to his bedroom. Calleigh was sitting on their bed, crying her eyes out.

"Honey..."

"Tim!" she jumped off the bed and into his arms. "I... I don't understand why she did this! I... I want her back!"

"I know. I want her back too." he said quietly, rubbing her back. "Cal, shh..."

"I... I feel like... I feel like this is my fault." she cried, clinging to Tim tightly.

"Honey, it's not. Don't think that for a second."

"I mean she's my sister!"

"Exactly. She's your sister. You didn't think that she'd take Anna."

"Exactly! I didn't think! I should be aware of these things."

"Listen, I'm not going to sit here and listen to you beat yourself up over this. Calleigh, none of us thought that she was capable of doing this."

"But I just let her! I should've heard her crying or... or... or... the door close or the car leave!" she exclaimed. "I'm trained to notice these things! How come I can do that with my job but I can't with my own daughter?"

She stared sobbing again and Tim slowly sunk down onto their bed, taking her with him.

"Calleigh, listen to me!" he said, cupping her face in his hands. He wiped away the tears that cascaded down her cheeks and Calleigh saw his eyes brimming with tears. "I don't blame you so I don't want you blaming yourself either. Okay?"

She nodded and Tim kissed her softly.

"I'm going downstairs. I want you to get some sleep." he murmured.

"Stay with me." Calleigh pleaded softly. "At least till I fall asleep."

Tim nodded and lay down with her. Slowly, Tim heard Calleigh's breathing even out and he unwrapped himself from her arms and went downstairs. When he went down there, Horatio was still there and Eric had now joined him.

"Making yourselves comfortable?" Tim asked, grabbing a soda out of the fridge.

"Quite." Eric smirked. "How's Calleigh doing?"

"She feels responsible and that she's a bad mother." Tim replied, sitting down.

"You kidding? She's a great mother!"

"Yeah maybe you could tell her. She won't listen to me. Do you have any idea where Stacey is?"

"No. She's a slippery one." Eric said. Tim nodded as the phone rang. He grabbed it and pressed, 'talk.'

"Hello?"

"I thought you were at a conference."

"Where are you?" with those three little words, Horatio and Eric knew who was on the other end.

"That's for me to know and you to find out."

"Is Anna with you?"

"Yep. She's being a good little girl."

"Why are you doing this Stacey?"

"Why do you think Tim?"

"You hold a grudge too long."

"I'm not holding a grudge. I'm waiting for what is rightfully mine to come back to me. Think about it Tim. We can be together again. Me, you, and Anna. Calleigh won't be in the picture. Anna will be our daughter. We'll be a family Tim, just like we always wanted. I want you to come to me."

"Well you need to tell me where you are."

Stacey laughed.

"Oh Tim I'm not stupid. I'm really not. I know you're sitting there, with Horatio and Eric by your side. I'm not going to give in that easily. Leave Calleigh."

Tim took a deep breath and slowly exhaled.

"Stacey, I can't just leave her. It'll break her heart."

"So? She deserves it! You broke my heart!"

"Exactly. Don't you think I'm going to do it again?"

"Oh no. Baby, I have faith in you and I'm willing to give you a second chance. I know that you truly love me and Calleigh forced you into this whole relationship. You don't have to protect her anymore."

"Stacey, just tell me where you are."

"Figure it out." the phone went dead and Tim tossed it onto the table. A few minutes later Calleigh came downstairs.

"I thought I told you to get some sleep." Tim said. Calleigh shrugged, wiping away a few stray tears.

"I couldn't sleep." she said quietly, going into the refrigerator.

"We have to get to the lab. Process some of the evidence." Horatio said, dragging Eric out the door. Tim stared at Calleigh's back.

"You were listening on the other line weren't you?" he finally asked. Calleigh didn't say anything. Tim felt horrible and walked up behind her, hugging her tightly. "Baby, you're my everything. You know that right? I love you so much. I love you more than anything. I always have and always will."

"I picked the phone up and when I knew you had it I should've put it down. I shouldn't have kept listening." she replied. Tim slowly turned her around and kissed her slowly, taking his time with her. "I remember when you were with her. I hated hearing her talk to you or watch her touch you and I just... hearing that I began wondering if it was going to start up again."

"No. Baby, shh..." Tim kissed her again. "I... god you don't know how much I love you. I was just trying to get her to tell me where she was. I was doing it so we could get Anna back. I would never go back to her Calleigh. Please, tell me you know that Calleigh."

"I do." she whispered. Tim nodded and wiped her tears away. "Call her."

"What?"

"Call her. Do whatever it takes to get our baby back. I don't want her with her any longer than she has to be."

Tim nodded again and gave Calleigh another kiss.

"I love you." she mumbled against his lips.

"I know. I love you too." Tim grabbed the phone and pressed redial. The phone began ringing and Stacey answered.

"Hello?"

"Hey. It's Tim."

"Figure out where I am?"

"No. I want to meet with you though. I... I need to see you." God it killed Tim to say this and he wrapped an arm around Calleigh and held her close to him.

"Really?"

"Yeah of course. Where can I meet you?"
