Tim knocked lightly on the door leading into Ballistics, causing Calleigh to turn around.

"Hey." she smiled, making Tim's knees go weak. "What's up?"

"Shift ended a few hours ago." he replied, walking over to her. Calleigh glanced at the clock and turned red.

"Why were you still here?"

"Trying to finish up some of my evidence. You want to get something to eat?"

"That would be nice." Calleigh nodded. She went to reach for a notepad and her elbow hit the gun she was working on, making it fall to the ground. She and Tim bent down to grab it and they bumped heads. "I'm sorry."

"No. I am." Tim muttered sheepishly. He looked up at Calleigh and she smiled slightly as she stood up. Tim stood up as well and before either of them knew what was going on, Tim had Calleigh pressed up against the table, his lips on hers. She slowly wrapped her arms around his neck and deepened the kiss. In the back of her mind, something was telling Calleigh that this was wrong and it would come back to bite her in the ass but frankly, she didn't care. Yes she did. Who was she kidding? Calleigh pushed Tim away and he ran a hand through his hair.

"Cal, I... I'm sorry." he stammered. She just stared at him, breathing heavily. Wasn't this what she wanted? For Tim to be back and she'd have her life back? Yes she was happy with Eric but this was Tim, who she had loved, still loved. Calleigh pulled him back to her and kissed him softly. Tim sighed against her mouth and pulled back. "We can't."

"Yes we can."

"We're not married anymore." Tim reminded. "You've got Eric."

Calleigh sighed and looked at him.

A few weeks later...

Calleigh bit her lip and sat down on her couch, waiting for Eric to come home. She heard the garage door open and a few minutes later Eric walked in. He smiled at the back of her head and sat down on the arm of the couch.

"Why did we get married?" Calleigh asked. Eric looked down at her.

"What?"

"Why did we get married?"

"Because we wanted to."

"Why did you marry me?"

"Because I love you. I always have." Eric replied. Calleigh sighed. Knowing that made this even harder. "Why did you marry me?"

"I was sick of being alone. I... I figured if I could replace Tim with someone else then my life would go back to the way it was. Eric, don't get me wrong. I love you but..."

"But you love Speed more." he said flatly. Eric smiled slightly. "I kind of realized, you know. We haven't been the same since he came back."

Calleigh gave him a sympathetic smile and squeezed his leg.

"We'll still be friends right?"

"Yeah. I don't think I ever had you to begin with." Eric said. "You always were Speed's."

Calleigh leaned up and kissed his cheek.

"Then you'll divorce me?" she asked. Eric nodded.

"Yeah."

"It's for the best Eric." Calleigh said. "Were we happy?"

When Eric truly thought about it, he realized the past three years had been a lie. They weren't happy. They were just using each other to get what they needed.

"I have to go talk to Tim." Calleigh mumbled, hugging Eric tightly. She slipped her wedding ring off and handed it to him. "I'm sorry this happened."

She walked out of the house, leaving Eric feeling lonely and dejected. Speed always had everything. He was Horatio's favorite, even though Horatio wouldn't admit it. He had the girl, the girl Eric was madly in love with.

Calleigh knocked on Tim's door and waited anxiously. She was surprised to see Tiffany open the door, this time she was at least decently clothed.

"Oh. It's you."

"What are you doing here?"

"Finishing up some business." Tiffany replied, a small smile on her face.

"She came to get a few things." Tim said, appearing in the doorway. "You finished?"

Tiffany nodded and roughly brushed past Calleigh. Tim pulled her into the apartment and she kissed him deeply.

"I talked to Eric." she said, resting her forehead against his. "We're getting a divorce."

"Is it wrong to feel happy about this?" Tim asked, teasingly. Calleigh giggled and closed her eyes, a tear trailing down her cheek. "What's wrong?"

"I didn't tell him about when he was at the conference."

"He doesn't need to know."

"Well he's gonna find out." Calleigh whispered. Tim sat down on his couch and pulled her into his arms.

"You're gonna tell him?"

"No. Remember when we kissed at the lab, then came back here, and made love?"

How could Tim forget? It was the best night he had had in a long time. He nodded and looked at Calleigh.

"I was at the doctor's today. She um... she said I'm five weeks pregnant."

"A... a baby?"

Calleigh nodded and Tim pulled her back into his arms.

"I love you Calleigh." he murmured, kissing her passionately.

"I love you too." she smiled. "You're happy about this?"

"Of course I am!" Tim exclaimed. "Why wouldn't I be?"

"I don't know what we're going to tell everyone. I mean... I'm with you, then with Eric, and now I'm back with you..."

"Everything's gonna be fine. Let's not worry about what we're going to tell everyone now."

Calleigh nodded and Tim kissed her. For the first time, Calleigh actually felt whole again.

Tim stared through the nursery window at the squirming, pink bundle in front of him. He heard someone walk up next to him and saw it was Eric.

"Alexx told everyone." he said quietly. "A girl huh?"

"Yeah. Eric, I'm sorry."

"It's okay. I think this is the first time we've talked in about four years."

"Yeah." Tim laughed slightly.

"I'm glad you two are back together." Eric said.

"I thought you loved her."

"I'd rather her be happy. I don't want it to be like this anymore, us not talking."

"We were acting pretty stupid huh?" Tim smirked.

"Yeah." Eric agreed, a smile on his face. "Remember we swore we'd never fight over a girl?"

"Mhmm but we never figured we'd fall for the same one." Tim said. "You're like a brother to me Delko. Past year's been rough, not having you to joke around with or confide in."

"Promise we won't fight over another girl?" he smirked. Tim laughed.

"Uh... I think I'll stick with my wife." he grinned. "So you can take the next one."

"Deal." Eric nodded. They awkwardly hugged and Eric snickered. "Congratulations. And uh... good luck."

"Why you don't think I can handle a responsibility like this?" Tim asked as they walked away.

"You're not the brightest crayon in the box."

"I resent that. I can take care of a baby."

"Mhmm. Next eighteen years are gonna be hell for you Speed. Especially since it's a girl. Boyfriends, mood swings, broken nails..."

"You're gonna give me nightmares but then again, looking at you already does."

"That was low."
