"Remember about three years ago when I called you?"
"Mmm... vaguely."
"I said we were acting like we were getting married."
"You did didn't you?"
"Yup. Now it's actually happening."
"It is."
"I can't wait to see you tomorrow."
"Neither can I." Tim breathed, staring at the picture of him and Calleigh on the mantle.
"How's my angel?"
"Charlie the devil dog? He's good."
"You love him."
"Don't tell anyone." Tim muttered. Yes, in two months he had managed to actually like the Golden Retriever puppy. "I miss you so much baby."
"I miss you too but it's only a few hours."
"Ha. Try twelve."
"That's not long. Why don't you get some sleep?" Calleigh suggested, twisting her engagement ring on her finger.
"I've tried. It's hard with Eric snoring in the next room. Besides, you're not here to help me fall asleep."
"Well I want you to get some sleep because I don't want you falling asleep at the altar on me."
"I'd never do such a thing. What are you doing?"
"Watching Valera enjoy her stripper."
"Okay too much information." Tim smiled when he heard Calleigh's laughter fill his ears.
"No. She's passed out on the bed. Too many drinks for her. I am playing with my engagement ring and thinking of you. What are you doing?"
"Staring at Charlie and trying to figure out a way to stop Eric's snoring. And I'm thinking of how beautiful you're going to look tomorrow."
"Why are you so wonderful?"
"Because I'm God's gift to women."
"Well to me at least. I am going to get some sleep because I don't need to look ugly tomorrow."
"You won't. You never look ugly. You always look amazing."
"Tim, stop."
"I only speak the truth."
"Mhmm okay. Well Mr. Truthful I am leaving you to dwell on your truthful thoughts. I love you."
"I love you too Calleigh."
"Don't forget to shave."
"I won't."
"Feed Charlie before you come to the church."
"I will."
"Don't leave me up there alone."
"I want to marry you more than anything. Why would I do that?"
"I don't know. Okay. I'm going now. I love you, bye."
"I love you too. Bye."
"Bye."
"Bye."
"Bye."
"Bye."
"I'll hang up."
"Good idea." Tim hung up and tossed the phone onto the couch and saw Charlie staring at him. "You looking at me?"

"Do you Timothy take Calleigh to be your wife?"
"I do." he smiled. Calleigh smiled back at him.
"And do you Calleigh take Timothy to be your husband?"
"I do."
Eric nudged Horatio and they grinned at each other as Tim and Calleigh exchanged wedding rings.
"So uh... it's finally over. I mean after seven years they finally did it?" Eric smirked. Horatio nodded. Eric gave a big groan as Tim leaned down and kissed Calleigh and Horatio rolled his eyes. After Tim and Calleigh did their first walk as husband and wife and were greeting everyone as they walked out, Horatio dragged Tim off to the side.
"Thanks for being up there with me." he said.
"Yeah. Listen, you do anything to hurt her and I'll hurt you got it?"
"H..."
"She's like a daughter to me Tim and I love her. I hate seeing her upset. If you do anything to hurt her I will kill you and I do know how to hide the evidence."
"I know H. I love her too. I love her more than anything and I would never do anything to hurt her." he said.
"I know. You're a good man Speed." Horatio clapped him on the shoulder then pulled him into a hug. "Congratulations."
"Thanks." Tim smiled. Horatio pulled away from him and let him go back over to Calleigh.
"What was that about?" she asked, slipping her hand into his.
"Just a death threat."

Tim handed the bellboy a couple dollars and swept Calleigh up into his arms. The bellboy shook his head and walked off just as Tim captured Calleigh's lips in a heated kiss.
"Gonna carry me over the threshold Mr. Speedle?" she breathed heavily.
"That I am Mrs. Speedle, you know tradition and all." Tim grinned. Calleigh laughed slightly and pulled his head back down to hers as he walked back into the suite. Tim set her gently on the bed and scowled.
"What?"
"Now uh... how the hell am I supposed to get that out?" he asked, pointing to her hair. Calleigh laughed and reached a hand behind her head. She pulled her hand back with a clip in it and her blonde curls came tumbling down onto her shoulders. "That's better."
"Mhmm. I don't like my hair up." Calleigh mumbled as Tim softly kissed her shoulder.
"Mmm neither do I. I love you."
"I love you too." Calleigh eyed Tim for a second and shook her head. "This has to go."
Tim nodded as Calleigh loosed the tie on his neck. When she was done, Tim leaned down, claiming her lips as his hands went to the back of the white dress, fumbling with the zipper.
"Whoa, wait a second." Calleigh stopped his hand. "This was a lot of money okay? And I don't need you ripping it off and letting it get wrecked."
"So then... well... then that's not fair if you're gonna take it off." Tim pouted.
"Who says I'm not changing into something else?" and as if it were magic, Calleigh grabbed a bag.
"Where the hell did that come from?"
"I had Valera come up here before and leave it."
"Oh great. Valera. Who knows what's in there." Tim muttered as his wife disappeared into the bathroom. He waited a few minutes. "Calleigh? Honey can you hurry? I'm getting bored."
Tim saw the sliver of light disappear from under the door.
"Now you're just being mean." he pouted, walking over to the balcony.
"I am huh?"
Tim glanced over his shoulder, then turned all the way around, his eyes wide and his mouth hanging open as he took in Calleigh's appearance.
"V-Valera picked that out?" he stuttered.
"No. I did. I just asked her to bring the bag up. You like?"
"Very much." Tim walked over to Calleigh, still eyeing her. "You uh... know that isn't staying on long right?"
"I was kinda hoping not so don't just leave me standing here." she smiled seductively. Tim eagerly obeyed.

Calleigh leaned back into Tim's chest, wrapping his arm tighter around her. She smiled sleepily, feeling his lips against her bare skin.
"Hi." he whispered.
"Hi." she mumbled back, turning in his embrace. His lips quickly found hers and they soon ended up in a passionate embrace. "I love you."
"I love you too. Yesterday was perfect."
"Yes it was. Well not as perfect as you are."
"Mmm no. I'm far from perfect."
"You're perfect to me." Calleigh smiled. Tim shrugged.
"If you insist." he grinned, kissing her again. "No work."
"No cell phones."
"And especially..."
"No Delko." they said together. Tim smiled and held Calleigh closer to him.
"What do you want to do today?" he asked, burying his face in her hair.
"Stay in bed."
"I can't complain." Tim lifted Calleigh chin and she smiled when their eyes met. Her smile grew when their lips met. She couldn't believe how lucky she was to have him and Tim was thinking the same thing right about then.
