"This is it?" Anna asked, looking around the large suite that was more like an apartment. She looked a little down too. "A hotel?"

"Ahh... but it's what's outside the hotel." Tim smiled. "You'll see tomorrow. But now, you ate, just like you wanted and now you get to go to sleep, just like I want."

"But I slept in the car! I just woke up!"

"I don't care. You have to get up early tomorrow."

"What for?"

"You'll see in the morning. Come on. Say good night to Calleigh."

"Night Calleigh." Anna mumbled, stomping off towards her bedroom.

"You shouldn't tease her like that." Calleigh said.

"She'll be very happy in the morning." Tim countered, following Anna.

-------S/C------

Down in Miami, Eric was working a very hard case and had decided to take up residence in the ballistics lab while trying to find a serial number on the murder weapon and find a comparison between a few bullets. Eric was very mad. It seemed as though the whole team had just up and left him. Well not everyone, just Speed and Calleigh. Horatio had just told him that they both asked for the week off. Now Eric didn't find that at all odd. Everyone needed a few days off then and now. He was just mad that he didn't know where they went. A spot of white in a sea of manilla envelopes caught Eric's eye and he grabbed what looked like an envelope. There was no name on it or anything so Eric decided it was safe to read. He pulled a card out of the envelope and stared at it. It was a picture of a dog, laying in a dog house and a dialogue bubble over him saying, 'I'm Sorry.' Eric opened the card and immediately recognized Tim's chicken scratch he liked to call handwriting.

Calleigh,

I really am sorry that I ran out of there today like that. It's just... something came up and I needed to attend to it right away. You probably think I'm an ass for all the things I've done over the years but really I'm not an ass. You know that. You see how I am outside of work. And yeah I'm a bit of an ass outside of work too but I'm not mean in any way. I just do stupid things to try and get your attention. Jeez, I started writing this to say I'm sorry and now... well... well now I'm telling you that ever since you walked into the lab I liked you. Ever since then, for the past few years, it's just grown and... I think I've fallen in love with you.

Eric's eyes widened.

I understand that you may totally disregard this and probably burn it but I just wanted you to know. If you do read it, I hope that, if you don't and I know you don't like me back, our friendship won't change. We've got something good already and I don't want to mess that up.

Tim

"Oh my God..." Eric rushed out of the lab and up to Horatio's office. "H! It's really important!"

"What Eric?"

"Okay. You know how you gave Speed time off, then gave Calleigh time off?"

"Yeah..."

"Well they've ran off and eloped!"

Horatio put the file he was reading down and stared at Eric.

"See, I found this note that Speed wrote to Calleigh, saying that he's fallen in love with her and they've acted on that and now they've disappeared together and gone off to elope!" he exclaimed.

"Eric..."

"We have to stop them!"

"Eric..."

"They're going to destroy our careers! IAB will find out and split us apart and I'll go to night shift all because they had to be selfish and start dating!"

"Eric!"

"What?"

"They went to Disney World with Anna for her birthday." Horatio said. "They're not running off and eloping. They're not even dating. But yes Speed does love her."

"And you're just letting them go?"

"Well actually," Horatio glanced at the clock. "They're already there. And if they do start dating we're not going to be split up. As long as it doesn't affect their work, then they're fine."

Calleigh looked up as Tim walked out of the other room.

"She asleep?"

"Yeah. Finally." Tim said, sitting down next to her. "Thanks for coming. You're doing me a favor too. It's hard trying to keep her in line by myself. You know me, don't have the most patience in the world. And she likes you so she'll listen."

"She doesn't listen to you?"

"Well she does but... not good."

Calleigh chuckled.

"Just like her father then." she winked.

"Yeah haha. Very funny." Tim sneered.

"So what are we doing tomorrow?"

"Whatever she wants. This whole week is just for her."

"You're so nice to her." Calleigh said. "My father was never like this."

"Nor was mine. I swore when she was born I'd do better than he did." Tim said.

"Do you mind me asking what happened with your marriage?"

Tim snickered and shook his head.

"My ex-wife, Michelle decided to cheat on me with her friend Jack." he said. "I found them in bed one night when I came home from CSI and just walked back out. I guess I had known for a while that she was getting some behind my back."

"Why didn't you say anything?"

"I met Michelle after Ricky died and I had come down here. She was originally from Virginia and came down here to work for some modeling agency. She was hot, we started dating, I thought I loved her so I asked her to marry me. I was stupid back then. I was only twenty-one when we met. For two years she had this hold on me. I guess I figured that she was probably going to be the only woman that loved me so I was blinded by satisfactory of finally having a girl instead of trying to be truly happy. Our marriage was on the rocks from the beginning. About a year later she found out she was pregnant with Anna. I think she was the only thing that kept me from leaving, then at least. About a month before you came to the lab was when I found her and Jack so I just left. She moved back to Virginia with Jack and Anna and that was that."

"Why would anyone want to cheat on you?" Calleigh asked.

"Ask Michelle." Tim replied. "It was okay though. I didn't love her. I love Anna though. More than anything. Well... maybe not everything."

"I haven't stopped thinking about that night, when I was at your house, when we had almost kissed."

"Calleigh, forget it."

"I don't want to. What would've happened if we did?"

"Do you really want to know?"

"Why don't we find out?" Calleigh suggested. Tim hesitantly leaned over and softly placed his lips over hers. They pulled apart a few seconds later, each searching the other's face for some sort of reaction. Calleigh finally got sick of waiting and kissed Tim back, a bit more intense then their first kiss. In a matter of seconds the kiss was soon turned into a passionate embrace and Calleigh was straddling Tim's lap, her arms wrapped around his neck and his hands lingering on her hips.

"We should've done that a long time ago." Tim breathed. Calleigh nodded in agreement and leaned down for another kiss.

--------S/C--------

Calleigh opened her eyes slowly when she heard the phone ringing.

"Are you gonna get it?" she asked, wrapping an arm around Tim's waist.

"Let Anna get it."

"She's not ev—" Calleigh was cut off by an excited squeal and Anna rushed into the room, jumping between Tim and Calleigh.

"Daddy!"

"What?"

"That... That... THAT WAS MICKEY!"

Calleigh looked at Tim and he smiled at her.

"Really? Well what did he want?"

"He wants to have breakfast. Can we go? Please, please, please?" Anna asked excitedly.

"I don't know." Tim scratched his head and Anna sighed, then started jumping on the bed.

"But Daddy!"

"What?"

"It's my birthday! You said I can do whatever I want on my birthday! I want to go have breakfast with Mickey!"

Tim laughed and nodded.

"Okay. Can we wake up first?" he asked.

"Fine. But you forgot something." Anna replied, crossing her arms over her chest.

"Really? What?"

"It's my birthday."

"Oh. That's right. So I guess..." Tim quickly grabbed Anna and started tickling her. She screeched with laughter and squirmed as Calleigh watched the pair.

"Stop! Daddy, stop! That tickles!" Anna laughed. Tim smiled and kissed her forehead.

"Happy birthday." he handed over a nicely wrapped gift and she squealed happily. She tore the card off the wrapping paper and read it, then tossed it aside. Calleigh laughed at the look on Tim's face.

"She just wants the present Tim." she said as Anna quickly rid her present of the paper.

"Spongebob!" she exclaimed, turning the DVD over. "Daddy?"

"What?" Tim asked.

"What are these?" Anna asked.

"Those are passes to go to Disney World."

"Disney World?"

"And Seaworld and Universal Studios, that's where Spongebob is."

"REALLY?"

"Yeah."

"Let's go! Let's go!"
