"...and then we fingerpainted and then, and then we um...wrote our names."

"Soi take it you had fun today?" asked Calleigh as she fastend Madison's seat belt in the back of her tahoe.

"Mhmm. Mommy where's daddy?"

"He's working late tonight sweetie but he'll be home later."

"You guys work all the time." said Madison with a frown on her face.

"I'm sorry sweetie. Believe me if there was something I could do about that I would. But as long as bad people do stupid things I'll always have to work. Ok?"

"Ok."

Tim walked into his house very careful to not wake up his sleeping family. He put his badge on the table and his gun in the lock box. He then walked up and opend Madison's door quietly and then walked over to her bed.

"I love you my angel." said Tim as he brushed her blonde hair out of her eyes.

"I love you to daddy." said madison as she rolled over her back facing Tim and he smiled slightly and got up and went into his bedroom.

"Will I always be the second women in your life?" asked Calleigh as she rolled over to face Tim once he got into bed.

"What?"

"I heard you talking to Maddy over the baby monitor."

"That thing is going to get me in trouble one day." said Tim as he pulled Calleigh to him.

"You know...you should probably get rid of that thing. I mean she is 7 years old."

"Well witch would rather have her just walk in her when were...busy..or say something over the monitor so we have time to prepare." said Tim with a evil grin.

"Alright I get your point. So why did Horatio keep you so late."

"Oh just the case..the D.A. didn't want to to proceed with the case...but I used my magic and talked her into it." Tim said.

"Mmm...okay well you know...i'm not really tired right now...you got any plans?" asked Calleigh as she started to kiss Tim's neck.

"Not anymore I don't."

"This package came for you."

"Oh..okay thank you Paula." said Tim taking the package.

"Hey, i'll see you later alright." said Calleigh.

"Ok...i'll be in trace."

"I'll be in firearms."

Tim walked into trace to find Delko looking over some evidence. "Hey man."

"Hey." said Eric looking up from his report sheet. "What's that?"

"I don't know but as soon as I open it i'll let you."

"Always so sarcastic." said an amused Eric but wiped the smirk of his face when he saw his best friend's face. "What is it?"

"It's a bunch of pictures of Calleigh and Madison. And a note. Delko go do me favor go get Horatio."

"You got it." said Eric as he ran up the stairs to Horatio's office.

Eric returned a few seconds later with his boss right on his heels.

"Speed...what do you got?"

Speed showed Horatio the note.

" told you i'd get you. And I will. You think bars are going to stop me? Then your highly mistaken. Just take a look at you precious family. It won't last long." Horatio read from the note. "Eric do me a favor and run this and the pictures on prints and then get the photos over to tyler and have him scan them into the computer see if he can get anything from the reflections in the eyes or from the backgrounds."

"Sure thing H." said Eric who took one look at Speed and then left the room.

"Speed..."

"H, don't ok. I'm not going to do anything. Alright...i'm just gonna go check on Calleigh."

"Speed... your not gonna tell her are you?"

"I think its best not to...she's already got enough on her plate already."

"What do you mean?" asked Horatio as he put his hands on his hips.

"She's pregnant." said Tim turning to face Horatio. "H, I will do anything to protect my family."

"I know you will. That's what makes you such a great man." said Horatio as he put a comforting hand on Speed's shoulder. "We'll get this guy before he goes to far. I promise."

"Don't make promises you can't keep." said Speed who turned and walked down to fire arms.

Tim stood back in the door frame as he watched Calleigh fire away. He loved to watch her shoot. Calleigh took her head phones and goggles of and turned around and jumped.

"Must you scare me like that?" asked Calleigh as she walked infront of Tim and slipped her arms around his neck.

"I'm sorry I didn't mean to do that." said Tim as he pulled Calleigh closer to him.

"What was that package about?"

"Oh..that was nothing."

Calleigh gave him a questioning look.

"Honest." Speed lied.

"Alright." said Calleigh as she leaned in to kiss Tim.

"I thought you made a rule about no public diplays of affection at work." said Tim with a smirk.

"Did I make that rule?" said Calleigh innocently. "Well if i did...I take it back." said Calleigh in her southern drawl connecting her lips with Tim's which soon led them into a passionate embrace which soon led them into Calleigh tiny office in the back of the ballistics lab.

"You sure about this?" asked Speed as he closed the door.

"I've never been more sure of anything in my whole life." said Calleigh as she slowly unbuttoned Tim's shirt.

"I love you."

"I love you too." said Calleigh as she pushed him up against the desk.
