"Daddy get up...get up." screeched Lilly Speedle as she kept hitting her father over the head with a pillow.

"Lilly Marie Speedle DO NOT hit your father. You understand me?"

Lilly stopped and began to cry. She never heard her mother yell at her before. "I sowie." said Lilly through tears.

"Its ok sweetie any time you wanna hit daddy over the head with a pillow is fine with me."

Calleigh made a noise letting Tim know she was not happy. "Fine. But don't come crying to me when your knee hurts again or when you actually do die. Is it so wrong that I want you to be careful." screamed Calleigh and locked herself in the bathroom.

Tim sighed. "Lil, do daddy a favor and go back down to the living room and tell Danny that I said you could watch Spongebob ok."

"Ok Daddy." said Lilly and kissed her father on the cheek and then ran down the stairs Tim could hear the protests from down stairs.

"Give. Me. The. Remote." said Lilly.

"No. I'm watching T.V."

"Daddy said I can watch bob! Now give me the remote."

"Fine!" yelled Danny.

Tim chuckled and walked over to the bathroom door and knocked on it softly.

"Honey open up."

"Go away."

"Honey it was only a pillow."

"That's not the point Tim." said Calleigh opening the door.

"Well honey what do you want me to do she's 2."

"You treat her like she's the queen of england you let her get by with to much."

"Well i'm sorry." said Tim as he wrapped an arm around Calleigh and pulled her closer to him. "How about that fourth?"

Calleigh smiled. "Sorry mister the doctor said no sex for another month."

"Calleigh I'll die."

"No you won't." said Calleigh.

"Yes I will." said Tim as he sat down on the bed.

"No, because I won't let that happen." said Calleigh as she straddled Tim.

"Hey, I thought you said a month." said Tim as wrapped his arms around Calleigh's waist.

"I know what I said. And i know what the doctor said. I just like messing with your head."

"Calleigh its not nice to play with your husband. You know my heart's a ticking time bomb I could go off at any moment. What did the doctor really say?"

"Well you were sleeping when he talked to me. He said 2 weeks and its been-"

"Almost 4. Your gonna get it."

"I'm at your mercy." said Calleigh as she leaned down to kiss Tim.

"I love you." said Tim as he put Calleigh's hair behind her ears.

"You love me?"

"You know I do."

"Then show me cowboy."

"No!" yelled Tim. "Leave her alone. Danny!" screamed Tim. As Tim screamed he kicked Calleigh waking her up with a start.

"Tim...honey wake up."

"Calleigh...honey."

"Tim...wake up."

Tim turned and sat up quickly. "Calleigh."

"Honey it was a nightmare."

"I love you, you know that." said Tim as he touched Calleigh's cheek with his hand.

"I know."

"No Calleigh I just want you to know that I love you know matter what happens."

"Tim your scaring me."

"I'm gonna go check on the kids." said Tim as he got out of bed leaving a puzzled Calleigh.

Tim went to Lilly's room first and saw that she was clutching her elephant Eric got her for her birthday. Tim smiled at the site and then went to Danny room and walked in. "Dan wake up." said Tim as he shook his son.

"What dad what's a matter?" said Danny as he sat up in bed.

"Nothing champ lay back down...I just wanted to tell you that I love you."

"Can I go back to bed now."

"Yeah." Tim sat up and walked to the door.

"Dad."

"Yeah."

"I love you to."

Tim smiled and then moved on to Angie's room. When he opened the door he panicked when he saw her bed empty. Tim quietly closed the door and walked downstairs, when he didn't see her in the living room he walked out onto the back porch.

"Hey princess what are you doin out here?"

"Oh I couldn't sleep." said Angie as she took a sip of her coffee.

"Well maybe its because your drinking coffee."

"Relax dad its decaf." said Angie with a smile.

"Then why can't you sleep?"

Angie shrugged.

"Ang." said Tim as he put a hand on her chin and pulled her face so it was facing his. He was suprised to see tears in her eyes. "Honey i'm fine."

"I I know that...daddy I was so scared...I he-eard Mom's message on my cell phone and I thought you d-ied. And-"

"Shhh." said Tim and pulled Angie onto his lap and rubbed her back softly. "It's ok. Honey. You know you getting to big for me to do this."

"I'm not getting big your just shrinking." said Angie as she looked up at her father.

"Your very funny."

"Well I aim to please."

"I love you. And no heart attack's going to get rid of me. Not even alkada could. Ang I've been through alot. I'm not going to be going anywhere for a long long time."

"Promise?"

"I'm not old. You wanna talk about old you look at Horatio."

"Sorry H."

"I'll let it slide just because its your first day back." said Horatio. "How are you feelin?"

"Fine. Now will nobody else ask me that please. I already got it from Alexx, Tripp, Tyler, and Paula.

"You know they say that you get cranky when you get older." said Eric.

"Can it Delko."

"I can't its against my religon."

"Very funny Delko."
