"Hey Cal." said Horatio as Calleigh walked into the break room.
"Oh hey guys." said Calleigh with a fake smile on her face.
"How are you doing?" asked Horatio.
"Oh i'm um...i'm fine." said Calleigh her voice cracking slightly.
"Calleigh maybe you should take some more time off." suggested Horatio.
"No i'm um...i'm gonna have a baby that i'm gonna need to support, besides Tim wouldn't want me to just sit around." said Calleigh pouring herself a cup of coffee. "Well I have a few things to do." said Calleigh setting her coffee down and left the room.
"I wish you would just tell her." said Alexx.
"I can't its not safe." said Horatio.
"Well you gotta do something H, she's not happy she deserves to know the truth."
"I can't Eric. Besides Speed wanted it this way."

"So you've been having nightmares." stated the department shrink Tracey Collins.
"Yes." Calleigh stated plainly.
"Can you tell me about them."
Calleigh hesitated but gave in. "I have ones were he's dying in my arms just like the day he died."
"So your reliving it?"
Calleigh nodded. "And then I have ones were i'm in the ballistics lab and Tim walks in and he try's to tell me something, but everytime he goes to say something...I wake up." The shrink nodded. "It just...it feels so real...like i'm actually there and he's...standing there right in front of me. Is that crazy?"
"No Calleigh that's not crazy. You were his wife and that's normal to want to have him back. But Calleigh i've seen patients get so hooked on these dreams that you say feel so real that they go crazy. The thing you need to remember is that is a dream. And this is reality."

"I'm home." said Calleigh as she walked through her front door.
"Hey Cal." said Jack Speedle getting up from the couch and kissed Calleigh softly on the forehead. "How are you feeling?"
"Well, I could do without the morning sickness." chuckled Calleigh.
Jack smiled and put a hand on Calleigh's growing belly. "How's my little grandson?" asked Jack looking down at Calleigh's belly.
"Or granddaughter." said Calleigh in her strongest southern accent.
"Mmmhmm that's what you think."
Calleigh sighed. "Well I guess there's no arguing with a Speedle is there?" Jack shook his head. Calleigh chuckled. "Mmmm something smells good is that lasanga?"
Jack nodded. "I knew that was your favorite italian dish so i made one for you."
"You didn't have to do that."
"Well Tim used to always say how much you loved my lasagna when you guys visited so...I thought it wouldn't hurt."
Calleigh smiled brightly. "It's ok I miss him to." said Calleigh noticing the hurt look on Jack's face.
Jack nodded. "Yeah well, I better be getting home...wouldn't want Linda to worry. I"ll see you later."
Calleigh nodded, Jack kissed her forehead and left the house. Calleigh had to admit knowing that someone was right around the corner to help her when she needed it was very comforting.

"So guys what's the case?" asked Calleigh walking into the layout room. "Sorry I'm late."
"No worries." said Horatio.
Calleigh nodded. "So what do we have?"
"A girl found dead in her bathroom, Alexx says cause of death was strangulation."
"Any witness'?"
"Nope." said Eric.
"Suspects?"
"Nope."
"Is that all you know how to say Delko?" asked Calleigh with a smirk on her face.
"Haha, actually I was going to say that I have a load of prints to go run, so if you'll excuse me."
Calleigh watched Delko walk out of the room and down to the fingerprint lab. "Alright so what do you have for me?"
"Well she was shot in the chest, so you can take this bullet for me please, and uh, work your magic." said Horatio with a grin.
"Will do." said Calleigh grabbing the evidence bag.

Calleigh got into ballistics and began to examine the bullet. She noticed there was a sticky substances and reached for her kit. Realizing it wasn't there she sighed to herself.
"Calleigh I swear you'd loose your head if it wasn't attacked." said Calleigh before she walked out of ballistics to the elevator.

Calleigh walked into the elevator and held onto the bars. Calleigh had always hated elevators and closed her eyes.
"Garage or...lobby." said a familiar voice.
Calleigh didn't open her eyes. "Oh...garage please." Calleigh quickly opened her eyes and looked at the person in front of her.
TBC...
Haha aren't I so evil. Who's the person in the elevator. I originally planned this scene differently. But the ending I actually had this as a dream last night and I thought hey why not. LOL!
