The elevator dinged signaling to Tim and Calleigh that they had arrived at their floor of CSI.

"Hey there's something I have to go do, I'll catch up to you later." said Calleigh.

"Somethin you need to tell me?" asked Tim.

"I'm just running an errand I'll catch up with you in trace ok?"

"Ok."

Calleigh started to walk off towards balllistics but changed her mind and watched Tim dissapear down the hall and headed towards Valera's domain.

"Valera."

"Hey Cal what's up?"

"I have a swab I need you to run for me please." asked Calleigh sweetley.

"Alright, did you just get a case?"

"It's an old case actually...about 5 years."

"A cold case?"

"Yeah kinda."

Valera searched Calleigh's face for an answer she thought she saw one but decided not to press the matter. "Anything to compare it to?"

Calleigh paused. "It's on file." Calleigh said playing with her earing.

"Calleigh were are you going with this?"

Calleigh sighed and walked closer to Valera. "It's Emily's DNA." Calleigh said regreatfully.

"You don't think she's Tim's...do you." whispered Valera.

"I-I i'm not sure. I just gotta know ok so if you could keep this low profile that be great."

"You mean from Tim?"

"I mean from Stetler. Horatio almost got in trouble for running a personal matter in the lab..." Calleigh thought for a second. "And from Tim. Just page me with the results."

"Sure. I'm a mute the entire time."

"Thanks."

Calleigh rested her shouler against the door frame in trace and smiled at the site of Tim banging his head to whatever crazy music was inside his IPOD. Calleigh walked up behind him and took the headphone's off and wrapped her arms around his kneck, kissing his cheek. "Hey you."

"Hey...so did you get done what you needed to."

"Yeah...almost." started Calleigh. "So do you need any help?" asked Callleigh eager to change the subject.

"Sure."

Tim and Calleigh started to walk off towards interrogation when Calleigh's cell phone rang.

"Speedle...yeah ok I'll be right there." said Calleigh right before she snapped her cell phone shut. "Hey listen do you got this?" asked Calleigh turning to Speed.

"Yeah sure. Everything ok?"

"Yeah, I just gotta finish that errand."

"Ok. I'll see ya later. Take you to lunch?" suggested Tim.

"I'd love that."

Tim nodded. He watched Calleigh walk down the hall and saw Tripp.

"Hey Frank?"

"Yeah?"

"Can you do this without me? Calleigh's been actin...weird lately and I need to go see what's up."

"Yeah sure. You guys gonna be ok?"

"Yeah. Thanks Tripp I owe you one."

"Buy me a beer later and its a deal."

"You got it." said Tim as he walked off down the hall as well.

"Valera you said you had the results?" asked Calleigh nervously.

"Yeah." Valera said. She hesitated but handed Calleigh the report. Calleigh read it and tears sprang to her eyes. "I'm sorry." said Valera giving Calleigh a sympathetic look. Calleigh put her hand over her mouth.

"Emily's not Tim's. She's Eric's."

Tim stepped back from the door. Feeling tears spring to his eyes as well he walked off towards the elevators but first stopped off at the reception desk.

"Hey Paula?"

"Yeah...Tim are you ok?" asked a concerned Paula seeing a tear roll down his cheek.

"I'll be fine. But uh, if anybody asks you haven't seen me ok?" Tim choked out.

"Sure." nodded Paula.

"...Tim's gonna be devestated."

"When are you gonna tell him...and Eric."

Calleigh sat on a stool. "I haven't even thought about telling Eric yet. I was just so worried about Tim."

Calleigh unlocked the front door and stepped inside to find the room completley dark. Calleigh saw Tim sitting on the couch with a beer in his hand.

"Hey you. I looked all over for you...left you messages why didn't you call me back?"

Tim shrugged.

"Where's Emily?"

"Let's see I picked her up from school, made her dinner, she took a bath, and then I put her to bed about an hour ago."

"Well that was sweet of you." said Calleigh sitting down on the couch next to Tim and rubbed his arm lightly.

"Yeah i'm just being a good father." Tim over pronounced the word father. Tim got up and through is beer bottle in the trash and headed for the door.

"Where are you going?"

"I owe Tripp a beer." Tim shouted and slammed the door shut.

Calleigh started to cry 'Tim must have heard from outside the door.' Calleigh thought.

"Speedle what's goin on?"

Tim sighed and ran a hand through his hair. "Emily's not mine." slurred Tim.

"What? Are you sure?"

"Yeah."

"Man that's gotta be rough. I"m sorry so its."

"Yup. Delko's." said Tim as he took a drink of his beer.

"Come on let's go."

"Where are we going?"

"I'm takin you home."

"I don't want to go home." defended Tim.

"To bad. I'm taking you home. You love Calleigh and that little girl to death. Your gonna fight for her." said Frank "Now let's go."

Tim walked into his bedroom and found Calleigh and Emily lying in the bed. Tim sighed and laid down next to Emily, stroking her hair out of her face.

"What's a matter daddy?" Emily asked sleepily.

"Nothing's wrong honey. Go back to sleep."

Emily nodded and rolled over accidentally hitting Calleigh , waking her up. Calleigh turned and looked at Tim. She saw his tear stained face and sighed.

"I'm so sorry." Calleigh choked out.

"It's ok." said Tim rubbing her cheek softly. "I love you and Emily so much." started Tim moving his hand to Emily's hair and began stroking it softly. "Besides...you guys are my family and no DNA test is going to change that."

TBC...I was watching David letterman with my mom and I asked my mom to choose Eric or Speed and she choose Eric so that's how I found the father so you can't hate me. Hate my mom. LOL.

Author's note: I made Speed cry well kinda. But don't worry the water works aren't over yet. HeeHee.
