"Daddy! Daddy! Daddy! Timmy's being bad!" Lizzie tattled.
"I am not!" Timmy pouted, running into the break room. He jumped on his father and Tim groaned from the impact.
"He tripped me in the elator!"
"Lizzie, you fell out of the elevator." Calleigh reminded. "Stop bugging Daddy. He has to work."
"Why are you here?" Tim asked. Calleigh gave him a look and Tim set his son on the couch. "You guys can watch TV."
Lizzie ran over to the couch and sat down, grabbing the remote from her brother. Timmy yanked it back and Tim sighed and pulled the remote out of both of their grasps. He turned the Discovery Channel on and put the remote up in one of the cabinets.
"Now neither of you watch something good." he said and walked out. "What's going on?"
"Someone was at the house." Calleigh said quietly.
"What do you mean?"
"I picked Lizzie up from kindergarten and Timmy from my mom's and I went home. The front window was broken and the door was open slightly. There was no one near the house but someone definitely was in there while none of us were home."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes."
"Alright. I'll get Eric to go over."
"Tim, you don't think they know about you do you?" Calleigh asked. Tim shook his head. He knew he was lying but he just wanted her to stay calm.
"Just don't worry about it right now. When we know something then you can alright?" he said. Calleigh nodded and Tim kissed her quickly. When they pulled away, Calleigh hugged him tightly.
"I don't want anything happening to you." she murmured. "You've only been back for a week."
"I know and nothing's going to happen to me. I promise." Tim kissed her once more, this time with a bit more passion and then let her go. "I don't want you going home. Keep the kids here."
"That's why I brought them here." Calleigh winked.

Tim sighed in frustration and ran a hand through his hair.
"Nothing. This is great."
"Speed, just relax." Horatio said. He let out a cynical laugh and shook his head.
"That's what I'm telling Calleigh to do. What am I supposed to do? I'm not letting her and the kids near the house until I know what's going on."
"I understand that." Horatio nodded. "Look I booked a suite at The Hilton for you, Calleigh, and the kids."
"H, you don't have to do that."
"I am though. Hang there until everything is settled."
"I'm working the case."
"Speed," Horatio put a hand on his shoulder, "You've already missed three years because of work. Your family comes before a case."
"Brianna is my family. She's my sister for God's sake."
"She'd want you to take care of them. Let me work the case. I'll keep you updated."
Tim began to protest but nodded and walked out of the office. He went down to the break room, where the kids, Calleigh, and Eric were sitting. Timmy hopped off the couch and attached himself to Tim's leg.
"Daddy, Mommy changed the TV."
"Good. I guess the evolution of bugs weren't interesting was it?"
"Nope." Timmy shook his head and Tim put him down in Calleigh's lap. He looked at Lizzie, who was fast asleep. He brushed a lock of blonde hair out of her eyes and looked up at Calleigh.
"Horatio's putting us up at The Hilton." he said.
"Why?"
"I don't want you guys near the house."
"Why not?" Timmy asked. "House fun!"
"Yeah I know it is buddy but Daddy just wants you and Mommy and Lizzie to be safe."
Timmy shrugged and played with a few Legos Eric had grabbed from his own son.
"It's them isn't it?" Calleigh asked quietly.
"I don't know. I think so. I just want to be careful even if I'm wrong." Tim replied.
"What about the case?"
"H is working it. He said he'll keep us informed."

Calleigh felt Tim's arms slip around her waist as she stood on the balcony, looking over Miami.
"You're too tense." he mumbled, moving his hands up to her shoulders. Calleigh moaned lightly as Tim slowly began massaging her shoulders.
"I'm... oh God Tim..."
He grinned and pressed his lips against her neck.
"As I was trying to say," Calleigh said in a teasing tone, "I'm sorry if I seem tense. I have two kids and you to worry about."
"Baby you don't have to worry about anything." Tim mumbled. His hands had stopped but his lips didn't. Calleigh sighed and turned around. Before she could say anything, Tim had his lips on hers hungrily. She slowly opened her mouth to him and wrapped her arms around his neck. Tim opened one eye slightly and moved over to a chair. He sat down with Calleigh in his lap and never wanted to let her go.
"Yes I do." she breathed. "I don't want to lose you again. I don't want to lose Lizzie or Timmy."
"I know. Neither do I. But I promise you Calleigh, nothing's going to happen. Everything's fine."
"You're a horrible liar." she said. Tim shrugged and moved over. Calleigh stretched out next to him and rested her head on his shoulder, her arm going around his chest. "I'm serious. You are."
"I don't know what to tell you then."
"I want the truth Tim!"
"I gave you the truth and you said I was lying!" he laughed.
"You were partially telling the truth." Calleigh reasoned. "Everything isn't fine."
"Well what do you want to do about it then?"
As if Calleigh knew. She was so confused about everything and he expected her to find a way to make everything fine? Oh no. He would just go against her idea anyway because he was Tim Speedle and everything had to be his way or they didn't do it at all.
