"Hey Delko you got those prints analyized yet?" asked Tim as he walked into the print lab.
"No if I did I would have gave them to you already."
"What's with you?"
"Nothing's with me."
"Look Delko I thought that maybe after 5 years you'd be able to forget about that but I guess I was wrong."
"How can I just forget about it Speedle. You stole my wife from me! Everytime I see you and her together it just, you know what forget it."
"Whatever Delko look its not my fault she's happier with me then you...just page me when you get the results." and with that Speed left the room.

"I thought this was normally my thing." said Calleigh as Tim took the headphones off and sat the 9 mil onto the table in front of him.
Tim chuckled slightly. "Yeah well I thought I'd try something knew."
"Alright what's bugging you?" asked Calleigh as she sat down onto a stool next to Tim.
"Nothing."
"Tim you are a great CSI, a wonderful husband and father but you are a very bad liar."
Tim sighed. "Its...Delko...he can't get over it I guess I don't know."
Calleigh sighed. "Maybe I should go talk to him."
"No Calleigh he needs to get over it in his own time. I'm sorry if I seem like a jerk but he just needs to. I'm with you know and he needs to except that and if he can't well then that's just to bad." said Tim as he wrapped an arm around Calleigh's shoulder. "I love you."
"I love you to." Calleigh truely meant that. She did love Tim more then anything. Well not maybe more then Emily. But there was something in the back of her mind that just botherd her. She couldn't quit figure it out. Oh yeah wait a minute she knew that what it was. It was the constant nagging feeling that Emily wasn't Tim's. And if she wasn't Calleigh fully intened to keep it a secret from Tim.
"Calleigh..." said Tim waving a hand in front of her face.
"Huh what?" started Calleigh shacking her head. "Sorry what did you say."
"I was just saying that we should probably go pick Emily up now its almost 3:30."
"Yeah ok."
"You alright?"
"You know it." said Calleigh in her southern drawl.

"Well I think she'll be out for the night." said Tim as he helped Calleigh pull down the blankets of their bed.
"Yeah. Finger painting, playdough, and recess all in one day does tend to tire a kid out."
"Calleigh are you sure your ok?" asked Tim as he got into bed.
"Tim I told you I'm fine."
"Alright then...I love you." said Tim as he kissed Calleigh's forehead.
"I love you too. Goodnight."
FLASHBACK----
''Cal do you have those bullets processed yet?" asked Tim walking into ballistics.
"Um...I was just about done with them..can you hold on a sec." said Calleigh not talking her eyes from th scope.
"Um...yeah s-sure."
"Speedle you ok?" asked Calleigh turning around to face Speed.
"Yeah I'm fine why do you ask?"
"Well you've just been acting a little..."
"A little what?" asked Tim getting a little closer to Calleigh.
"Jittery." said Calleigh. God why did she get these feelings around Tim... she was married. Happily married. Well Eric was. She wasn't.
Tim chuckled. "Jittery...thats a new word...i'll have to use that more." Tim said taking a few more steps towards Calleigh. Calleigh backed up a few inches and she was up against counter. But before Tim knew what was happening Calleigh had her lips on Tim's. Yes that's right Calleigh Duquesne kissed Tim Speedle.
"I love you."
Tim paused for a minute and realized he wasn't the one who said that. Calleigh was.
"You what?" asked Tim.
"I love you."
Tim smiled something he rarely did. "I love you to." said Tim as he lifted Calleigh up onto the counter. "I always have...and I always will." Before either one of them knew what was going on Tim and Calleigh were lying on top of the counter.
"God your beautiful." said Tim brushing hair out of Calleigh face.
Calleigh blushed. "I've wanted to tell you for so long Tim...but I didn't know how. Considering the poistion I'm in."
Tim nodded.
"Listen no offense but this counter is hurting my back. Would you mind if we went to um..."
"My place?"
"Yeah."
"I'd like that." said Tim as he helped Calleigh off the counter.
PRESENT------
Calleigh watched Tim for several hours and stroked his cheek softly. "I really do love you." Calleigh whispered. In Calleigh's mind she wondered if she even really loved Eric. Calleigh crawled out of bed and slipped her robe on. She walked into the living room and grabbed a swab from her kit and walked quietly into Emily's room. Calleigh opened Emily's mouth slightly and swabbed the inside of her cheek then tucked the swab safetly away in her kit. She'd ask Valera to run the test tomorrow.
TBC...soap opera music Uh-Oh Spaghettio's. Tim and Calleigh almost haveing "relations" on the counter in the ballistics lab. That's a no no. LOL. And is Emily really Tim's? Find out...in the next chapter.
