Calleigh walked down the halls of PD file in hand looking for Frank Tripp. "Frank." stated Calleigh as she saw Frank exit an interrogation room. But the man that was coming out of it looked oddly familar.
"Yeah whats up?"
But Calleigh wasn't paying attention she was looking at the man that walked by and he gave her an evil smile in return.

Calleigh stood behind a table in the evidence log room. Looking through the files from when Tim and her were shot. Calleigh was highly interested in the before and after shots when someone made her lose her consentration.
"Did you forget someone?"
"What...Angie...Danny what are you doing here?" started Calleigh. "Oh."
"Yeah...oh...you forgot to pick him up from the airport...he called...I was at the movies...with Kyle...you know this is the last time were going to be able to get any time together before he leaves for the summer to go to his uncle's in Idaho."
"I'm sorry Angie what do you want me to say...I got distracted."
"Nothing. Come on Danny lets go home and leave...mom...to her work."
"Fine...i'll give you some money tonight and you and Lindsay can go to the mall tomorrow alright." Angie nodded. "So buddy how was Grampa and Grandma Speedle's house."
"It was fun...I think i gained like 15 pounds."
"I thought there was something different about you."
"Cute mom."
"Well what do you expect you got a grandma who cooks like there's no tomorrow and a grandpa who owns a chain of restraunts."
Danny shrugged and Calleigh ruffled his hair.
"Mom...whats that?" asked Angie as she pointed to the open file.
"Oh nothing." said Calleigh quickly and closed it. "Just a case i'm working on."
Angie nodded. "Well i'll take Danny home...see you later?"
"Yeah."
"Do you want me to pick up something?"
"No me and your dad will get something on the way."

"Yeah its only 11 and me and your mom have to get up at 5 to get ready for work. So bed."
"But its summer vacation." whined Angie. "I'm 17 I don't have to."
"Are you 18?" asked Calleigh.
"I will be in 7 months."
"That's not what your mother asked you."
"No..."
"Well then I guess you have to do what your parents tell you to do know don't you."
"Whatever."
"Whatever?" reapeated Lilly.
"Shut up." said Angie.
"Shut up."
"Dad tell her to stop mocking me." whined Angie.
"Aw...Lilly you gotta stop teasing your sister she's being crabby." said Tim as he picked Lilly up.
"I'm not crabbing...I...I...i'm going to bed." said Angie and got up and ran up stairs.
"See Lilly Daddy wins again."
Lilly giggled and accidentally dropped her sippy cup on Tim bad knee from the shooting injury.
"Fuck!" yelled Tim.
"Timothy James Speedle!" screeched Calleigh.
Danny started to laugh. "Oh, the full name card your in trouble."
"Danny shut up and go to bed."
"Whatever." said Danny and took off upstairs.
"Shhhhh...daddy thats a no ne no ne word."
"Daddy's sorry sweetie but you hurt daddy's knee."

"Night angel."
"Night daddy...I wove you."
"I wove you to." said Tim with a grin as he pulled the blanket over Lilly.
"Daddy...I can't see."
"Oh I'm sorry did I pull it up to far. My bad."
"Silly daddy."
"Well I aim to please. Good night sweetie pie."
"NIght daddy."
Tim closed the door and turned the light off, then walked down to Danny's room and knocked on the door lightly.
"You asleep yet champ?"
"No."
"Ok...well then i'll see you tomorrow."
"You got it."
"Hey listen if the old slave driver will let me off early you wanna go and shoot some hops?"
"Yeah sure. You sure your knee can take it."
"Eh, it'll be fine."
"Dad i've always wondered but why do you have a limp when you walk?"
"Well that was a long time ago...and i'm tired and its a long story maybe some other time."
Danny nodded. He thought that it was probably a work related injury and decided it was probably a hard issue for his father so he decieded not to press the matter.
"Ok night dad." said Danny as he leaned over and kissed his dad on the cheek. He knew he was 15 but he didn't care he loved his dad and that's all that mattered to him.
"What was that for?"
"For just... being my dad."
Tim smiled and leaned down and kissed his son on the forehead. "Good night champ."
"Night."
Tim closed his door as well and then knocked on Angie's door. "Can I come in?"
"Yeah." said Angie. "Hang on a sec." said Angie into her phone.
"You on the phone?"
"You see it in my hand... attached to my ear?"
"Very funny...you need to stop hanging out with Uncle Eric."
Angie rolled her eyes. "Well just don't stay on it to long ok."
"Ok."
"Tell Kyle I said goodnight."
Angie nodded. "Night dad. I love you."
"Love you to." said Tim and closed the door.

Tim walked into his bedroom limping worse then ever. Calleigh frownd at the site of her husband.
"You ok baby?" asked Calleigh as Tim got into bed.
"No...the son of a bitch hurts like hell. You got that ice pack?"
"Yeah here." said Calleigh as she placed it on his knee.
"Its amazing how something so small as a sippy cup can make something hurt like hell."
Calleigh smiled but it soon faded.
"You ok?" asked Tim as he put a hand on her shoulder.
"Yeah I'm fine..."
"Calleigh...that was along time ago...it was like 15 years ago."
"I kow but I can still picture you lying there."
FLASHBACK----
"Here ya go Mrs. Speedle." said a nurse as she wheeled Calleigh into Tim's room.
"Thank you Megan."
"Sure just buzz me when you want to go back to your room."
Calleigh nodded and grabbed Tim's lifeless hand. Megan saw the sadness in Calleigh's eyes and her heart went out to her. It had been almost 3 weeks and Tim showed no signs of change.
"Hey you." said Calleigh as she stroked Tim's forehead. "Well you might have came in here with scruff but your certinaly leaving with a beard." Calleigh smiled but within a matter of seconds it was replaced by tears. "You gotta wake up Timmy...I need you...I need you in my life." Calleigh sobbed.
PRESENT---
Tim sighed and rubbed Calleigh's back as she cried on his shoulder.
"It's ok honey..."
"I was so scared."
"I know honey but that was along time ago and I'm fine...your fine...and we have 3 beautiful children that are fine."
"I love you." said Calleigh looking up at Tim.
"I love you to." said Tim as he kissed Calleigh quickly. "Come on we better get some sleep."
Calleigh nodded and brushed a few tears away. Tim laid down first and Calleigh laid her head on his chest.
"I meant what I said Calleigh i'll never leave you."
Angie and Danny who where listening from the door looked at eachother.
"What happend 15 years ago Ang?"
"I don't know...I was 2 I don't remember anything?"
"Oh."
