Calleigh had taken a few days off by Horatio's orders and spent the day with Tim's mom and dad. One morning Calleigh could not stop throwing up so Linda Speedle made a doctor's appointment for her. The appointment went great until Dr. Collins told Calleigh she was pregnant. Calleigh wanted more then anything to have a baby. But she always thought she would raise it with Tim.

"Your going to keep it arn't you?" asked Linda Speedle at Calleigh's kitchen table.
"Of course I'm going to keep it. I'm not going to kill this baby just because Tim's not here anymore."
Linda sighed. "Calleigh sweetie I didn't mean it like that."
"I know you didn't"
"Listen Cal me and Linda have been talking and we've decided to move to Miami."
"I, I can't ask you guys to do that." started Calleigh feeling tears coming on Calleigh stood up to get a glass of water. "I'll be fine on my own."
"Calleigh don't be silly. Were moving here and that's final."
Calleigh went to protest but the doorbell rang.
Calleigh opened the door. "Mom...dad...what are you guys doing here?"
"Well when you called and told us that you were pregnant we wanted to come by and see how you were doing and everything." started Lousie Duquesne. She stopped talking when she saw Tim's parents in the kitchen. "What are they doing here?" whispered Lousie.
"They came to make sure I was ok."
"Louise...Kenwall. It's nice to see you again." said Linda Speedle.
Louise nodded softly. Kenwall and Jack shook hands. The Duquesne's and Speedle's didn't exactly get along. Well let me rephrase that. Lousie didn't get along with Linda. But everyone else got along.
"I'm sorry about your son." said Kenwall.
"Thank you." said Linda.
There was a few minutes of ackward silence.
"Well me and Jack have an appoitment to see the realitor about the house around the corner...so we'll be back later."
"What...are you guys moving down here?" asked Kenwall.
"Yeah."
"Well that's great. We can all be together.'' said Kenwall.
"That is not great." stated Lousie.
"Mom." sighed Calleigh.
"Why is that not great?" asked Linda.
"I think you now why."
"Mom."
"No I don't Louise why don't you tell me?"
"Guys..."
"Well if your good for nothing son would have cleaned his gun. We wouldn't even have to be having this conversation! How dare he leave my baby at a time like this!" cried Louise.
"Excuse me my good for nothing son? Timmy may have made a mistake but he was definatly a good man while he was alive. Now he loved your daughter and they made a baby together. And its not like he asked for that...that..man to kill him."
"GUYS!" screamed Calleigh making her in laws and parents jump. "I am in a very emotional state right now. And i would really appreciate it if you would shut the hell up! Mom just because you never liked Tim doesn't mean you can bash his memory in front of me and his parents. Got it?" asked Calleigh angrily.
Lousie nodded.
"Now if you would please excuse me i'm going to go take a nap. Mom Dad thank you for coming but if you would please let yourselves out." said Calleigh her anger still showing.
"Calleigh..."
"No Mom...go."
"Fine." said Lousie as she walked to the door.
"Bye Lambchop." said Kenwall as he kissed his daughter on the cheeck.
"Bye Daddy."
"I'm sorry about that Calleigh." said Jack.
"There's no need to apologize, my mom can be a bit of a handeful at times...well i'm gonna go take a nap. Excuse me."
"Sure."
"Oh Jack I wish this was all a bad dream."
"Me too."

CALLEIGH'S DREAM------
"Hey you?" said Tim walking into ballistics.
"What?" said Calleigh breathsly.
"What aren't you happy to see me?" asked Tim sarcastically.
"Your dead. I, I saw you. You died in my arms."
TIm sighed. "It was an act."
"No, this has to be some kind of a dream or somthing."
"No Calleigh its real. I'm here."
PRESENT----
Calleigh woke up sweating. "Tim..." said Calleigh looking to his side of the bed.
When Calleigh didn't see him lying there she knew it was a dream. Calleigh laid back into her pillows. "Then why did it feel so real?"
