3 YEARS LATER

"Daddy come on get up!" yelled Madison as she poked her father over and over again.

"Mmm," said Tim regreatfully.

"Come on Daddy get up! You promised me you'd take me rollerblading today. Come one Daddy get up!"

"Maddy daddy worked overtime last night, please just give me 10 more minutes," Tim pleaded.

"Okay," said Madison as she ran off to her room.

"You know you did promise her that you'd take her first thing in the morning," stated Calleigh as she rolled over so she was on top of Tim's chest.

"I know. I'm just tired."

"Well maybe if you would stand up to Horatio and not agree everytime with him he asks you to work overtime, you wouldn't be so tired."

"Well what can I say Horatio's a hard guy to say no to."

"Admit it."

"Admit what?"

"That you like your job," Calleigh said playfully. "Your a workaloholic," Calleigh said with a smirk.

"No that would be your job," Tim stated as he rolled over so that Calleigh was on top.

"You know I don't know why you bother to start this because Lilly's just going to start crying," said Calleigh.

"Your right-" Tim went to go say something but he was interrupted by Maddy.

"Daddy I gave you ten minutes NOW COME ON!"

"Alright alright i'm up i'm up."

FLASHBACK------

"Put the gun down Jason," said a very ticked off Eric.

"What makes you think I'll listen to you?"

"Well you have a gun pointed at the back of your head. I know that would change my mind about the situation," said Eric as he pressed the gun harder into Jason's head. Nobody was going to mess with his best friends.

Doesn't it bother you Speedle?"

"Does what bother me?" asked Tim.

"Knowing that Madison isn't yours that she's mine,'' stated Jason.

"No it doesn't bother me. I love her and that's all that matters."

"Tim..." stated Calleigh. She knew S.W.A.T. was in place and Horatio and Eric were there and Madison was safe inside but she was still scared out of her mind for some reason.

"It's going to be ok Calleigh," said Tim as he reached for his gun and shot Jason. The look on Jason's face was priceless to Tim its like he didn't know what hit him. Emma then moved her gun on Eric and he fell down Horatio and one S.W.A.T officer then fired at Emma. Who then went down. Tim walked over to Jason and Calleigh ran over to Eric as Horatio called for an ambulance.

"Eric..." cried Calleigh.

"I"m ok Calleigh. It's just in the arm."

Calleigh nodded and helped Eric sit up and look over at Tim.

Tim sat down next to Jason who was struggling to for air. "Where's Brown?" asked Tim pure hatred in his voice.

"I don't know who your talking about."

Tim then pressed down angrily on Jason's gunshot wound causing him to scream out in pain. "I'm going to ask you one more time were. is. Brown?"

"I shot him. He's at the shack were we kept Maddy."

"Your not lying to me are you?"

"No, n-o, no." said Jason. "I can't fell anything."

"Well then it must suck to be you," said Tim sarcastically. "I told you Jason I would do anything to protect my family, and I meant that."

PRESENT-----

"So that man was really my father?" asked Madison her voice quivering slightly.

"Yeah sweetie he was.''

Madison stood up and walked into the yard. Tim dipped his head and sighed then walked over to his daughter.

"Maddy I love you more then anything," Tim stated as he put his hand on Maddy's shoulder. "You know that right?"

"I know you do. And that's why your the best Daddy ever," said Maddy as she ran into Tim's arms and hugged him tightly.

Calleigh who was watching from the screen door smiled. She knew this is were she belonged. With her husband and her two daughters. She was distracted from her thoughts when little Lilly pulled her hair.

"'Getti momma getti."

"Its Spaghetti Lilly."

"'Getti"

"Alright come on. Tim..." yelled Calleigh.

"Yeah," said Tim as he lifted Madison up onto his shoulders.

"Dinner's ready."

"Alright we'll be right there."
