A/N: I do not own any of them except Tyler, Savannah, and Matthew. Though I wish I did. Very short chapters. Sorry. I promise I will update soon. Forgive me, I've been sick.
Calleigh was roused from her slumber by the little whines coming from the crib next to her.
"Shh, come on, hush now." She whispered. "You don't want to wake up anyone else. Are you hungry? Here, let's go make you a bottle.
She slowly made her way to the bedroom door, careful not to trip with the baby. Calleigh had one arm out in front of her as a guide, the other balancing Matthew on her hip.
"Here we go." She said quietly as she found the kitchen.
Calleigh rummaged around blindly until she found an empty bottle.
"Hold on honey, it'll just be a couple of minutes." She soothed, putting him in his new walker.
Almost as soon as she put the baby down, the microwave started to beep.
"Shit!" Calleigh hissed.
She quickly turned off the microwave and handed Matthew his bottle.
"Here you go sweetheart. You drink that, I'll be right back." She said, stroking his hair.
Calleigh snuck out of the kitchen and walked stealthily towards the pull out couch. 'I wonder if I woke him up?' she thought. Calleigh bent down low so she was at a kissing distance with Horatio's face. She had to admit it was hard to see in the dark. She strained to see if his eyes were open. Moments later, his eyes opened and stared into hers.
"Oh my!" Calleigh gasped.
She jumped back out of surprise and stumbled backwards. Calleigh closed her eyes and braced herself for the fall, but it never came. When she opened her eyes, she was face to face with the sexy redhead.
"Talk about falling for someone." She laughed quietly.
"Excuse me?" Horatio asked as he helped her to her feet.
"Uh, I uh, said shh, we might wake someone." Calleigh recovered quickly.
"I see. Can I ask why you were staring at me?" he questioned.
"I was seeing if you were awake." She answered, looking really embarrassed.
"Well, I am now." Horatio commented sarcastically.
"Horatio, I'm so sorry." Calleigh apologized.
Even though it was dark, Horatio could see the growing blush in her cheeks.
"No problem. Is Matthew in the kitchen?"
"Yeah, he needed a bottle." She sighed.
"And what's there excuse?" he asked as he pointed down the hallway.
She turned around and was greeted by the two little faces of Tyler and Savannah.
"What are you guys doing up?" Calleigh asked them.
Tyler inched in front of his sister in a protecting motion.
"Don't be mad at her, it's my fault. I forgot to make sure she was okay before she went to bed!" he rambled nervously.
"Honey, calm down. I won't be mad. You can go ahead and tell me." She replied softly.
"She accidentally wet the bed." He whispered worriedly.
"Oh, it's okay. It was just an accident. Don't worry honey, it's fixable. I won't be mad." Calleigh assured as she wrapped them both in a loving hug.
"Horatio, can you please finish feeding Matthew while I change her sheets?" Calleigh asked.
He nodded his head and went into the kitchen. When Horatio took the baby back to her room, he found Calleigh, Tyler, and Savannah snuggling in her bead.
"Goodnight Tyler, goodnight Savannah." He said after putting the baby back in his crib.
Calleigh was awake, just didn't say anything. When he didn't get a reply, he learned that they were fast asleep.
"I love you Calleigh." He said quietly, thinking she was asleep.
"I love you too." She replied so that only she could hear.
"Calleigh continued to pretend to be asleep when he came closer, as not to scare him. Horatio bent down and gently brushed his lips against her forehead.
"Goodnight Calleigh." He whispered before leaving the room.
