Calleigh tossed and turned that night. Ever since the day of the shooting she had nightmares about the men who shot her coming back and trying to kill her again but in each nightmare she could never see there faces.

"Calleigh..." said Tim as he shook her. "Calleigh honey wake up."

"I'm not going to let you hurt my family!" yelled Calleigh.

"Calleigh honey wake up."

"Get off me!" yelled Calleigh punching Tim in the stomach.

Tim winced in pain. "Calleigh honey come on wake up."

"Tim!' yelled Calleigh.

"I'm right here." said Tim. "Calleigh wake up."

Calleigh stirred slightly and opened her eyes. "Tim..." said Calleigh sleepily.

"I'm right here baby."

Calleigh started to cry and flung herself into Tim's arm. Tim hugged her tightly and slowly rocked her back and fourth to try and calm her down.

"It's ok sweetheart it was just a nightmare.''

"It felt so real Tim."

"I know...but its ok. I'm right here."

"I love you."

"I love you to." said Tim as he kissed Calleigh quickly and brushed hair out of her face.

"I'm gonna go check on the kids." said Calleigh as she got out of bed.

"Ok." Tim didn't know what to do. Him and Calleigh tried therapy the doctor said that they were fine and that it was just post tramatic stress disorder. That it would go away adventually. The constant worry that soemone was after them did but the nightmares didn't. Tim didn't have them as much as Calleigh did. And he hated it when she did because it tore him up inside to see the love of his life suffer like that.

Calleigh walked into Angie's room and saw that she was fast asleep with the phone in her hand. Calleigh smiled and took it out of her hand and put it on the charger. Calleigh then walked into Danny's room and saw that he was fast asleep with his headphones on. Calleigh walked over and took them off and set them on his nighstand. Calleigh smiled at the site of her son. It was almost like Danny was Tim's twin, they were alike in everyway. Well except for the age part. Same hair, eyes, and attitude. Calleigh gave her son a kiss and walked out of the room to Lilly's room.

Calleigh sat down and brushed Lilly's golden locks out of her face. Calleigh looked down at the little elephant that Lilly was clutching onto for dear life. "I love you so much...you will always be my little angel." said Calleigh as she stroked Lilly's cheek lightly.

Tim appeared in the doorway and smiled at the site. He knew how Calleigh must feel. If he didn't make it through that shooting they wouldn't have little Lilly. And he thanked god for her and the rest of his family everyday. If anybody in the lab were to get asked what is Tim Speedle like? They would all say a big softy and a family man. Tim didn't like to admit but he was.

"Come on let's go back to bed." said Tim as he sat down next to Calleigh on Lilly's toddler bed.

"You better be careful New Yorker you'll brake the bed." Calleigh said with a smile.

"No I won't." said Tim with a smirk. "She's so beautiful."

"Mmmhmm..."

"I look at her and I see what good this world can be."

Calleigh smiled at Tim and wrapped her arms around him. "Mmmm...I wonder what she'll be?"

"Well the last time I asked her she said she wanted to be a contractor."

Calleigh laughed. "Does she even know what that means?"

Tim chuckled. "I don't think so. Danny told me he wanted to be like grampa... a cook."

"Well honey he does cook better then you."

"Can I help it if cooking genes skip a generation." said Tim defensively.

Calleigh laughed and kissed Tim on the cheek. "And who knows what Angie wants to be."

"She'll figure it out Cal, she always does. She's a teenager right now she's just concentrating on Kyle."

"You really like Kyle don't you?"

"Well I didn't at first but they've been dating for almost four years...all I got to say is if Kyle wants to marry her I wouldn't say no."

"Aw...Tim Speedle CSI by day softy by night."

"Well I aim to please."

Lilly stirred slightly and opened up her deep blue eyes. "'S' a matter?" asked Lilly sitting up.

"Nothing baby go back to sleep." said Calleigh as she tucked Emily back in.

Lilly nodded and laid her head back down on the pillow. Tim and Calleigh each gave her a kiss and got up off the bed.

"Daddy?"

"Yeah pumpkin?"

"Is your knee ok?"

Tim smiled slightly. "Yeah baby its fine."

"I didn't hurt you?"

"No...you could never hurt me."

"Ok daddy...I love you."

"I love you more. Now go back to sleep."

Lilly rolled over still clutching her elephant tightly. "Ok daddy."

Tim and Calleigh smiled and walked out of Lilly's room and into there own room.

"Thank you." said Calleigh once her and Tim were re settled in bed.

"For what I didn't do anything?"

"Yes you did. You saved me. You came into my life and gave me 3 beautiful children and there's no place else i'd rather be."

Tim smiled. "You know i've been thinking about our 3 kids." said Tim as he pulled Calleigh ontop of him.

"You thinking that's not a good thing."

"Haha. No seriously Calleigh i've been thinking about having another...baby...that is if you want another one."

Calleigh smiled at Tim and kissed him passionatley. "You read my mind." Tim and Calleigh were in a passionate embrace when there was a knock at their door.

"Seriously everytime.'' said Tim. Calleigh laughed. ( i stole that line from a quote over at talk csi in the quotes wont hear thread. You'll just have to head over there to know what i'm talkin about. lol)

"Come in."

"The storm woke me up and I can't sleep." said Danny.

"Danny your almost 16 are you seriously scared of storms?" asked Tim with a grumpy look on his face. Well you'd be grumpy to if you got distracted from some one as beautiful as Calleigh Speedle.

Danny ignored his father's question. "Come on Danny...get into bed." said Calleigh as she scooted over so Danny could fit in. Just then Angie came running in.

"Got any room in there for me?"

"Yeah why not." said Tim angrily.

"Don't worry honey i'll make it up to you later." whispered Calleigh.

About 20 minutes later Tim finally spoke. "You know its kinda sad. Lilly is only 2 years old and uh...she managed to stay in her bed. You guys are older you shouldn't be in here."

"Well can we help it if we love you to much." said Danny saracastically. Tim went to say something but was interrupted by his daughter.

"Uh dad looks like Lilly isn't to brave after all." said Angie.

"Are you having a summber party?" asked Lilly as she rubbed her eyes.

"No sweetie somebody was just afraid of the storm." said Calleigh.

"Come one munckin you want in to?" asked Tim Lilly nodded and climbed in to bed next to Tim.

Calleigh smiled at the site. This is how her family should be.
