Tim and Calleigh walked out of the elevator and through the halls of CSI. As they walked they got some looks from there co-workers. The looks weren't directed to Calleigh but to Tim.
"Um... Calleigh?" said Ryan.
"Ryan I don't want to talk to you." said Calleigh as she continued to walk down the hall.
"Calleigh...please..."
"Hey buddy what part of I don't wanna talk to you do you not understand." said Tim as he turned to Ryan.
Ryan backed down and walked away. "I missed that." said Calleigh. "Listen I gotta go see Horatio."
"Ok i'll be down in trace." said Tim and the couple parted seperate ways.

"Knock knock." said Calleigh as she walked into Horatio's office.
"Hey Calleigh..." said Horatio as he looked up from his paperwork. "So I take it your in better spirits."
Calleigh smiled and then sat down in a chair. "Listen I um...kinda need to talk you about somethin."
"Calleigh...we'll find Tommy ok don't worry."
"No...no...its not about Tommy...its about...Ryan."
"What about Ryan?"
"He uh...he made a pass at me the other day in ballistics."
"He what?"
"I uh...pushed him away...but then he shoved me against the wall and he kissed me again." said Calleigh in an uneasy tone.
"Calleigh this is serious."
"I know...that why I came to you. Thought you would take the apporiate actions."
"Yeah definatley. Are you ok?"
"I am now." said Calleigh as she looked out the window and down at Tim. Horatio smiled he knew having a couple on a team was dangerous but with Tim and Calleigh he didn't have to worry about that.

"Hey Delko." said Speed as he walked up next to him in trace.
"Hey Speed." said Eric like it was something he did everyday. Suddenly Eric realized what he said and put down his tweezers. "Speedle..."
"Hey."
"Well I see you to are getting re introduced." said Calleigh as she walked down the stairs.
"Yeah...yeah." said Eric. "Your alive."
"So it would seem."
Eric laughed nervousley and embraced Tim in a brotherly hug. Horatio smiled from his office. He loved his team. More then they knew.
"Its uh...its good to see you man."
"You to. So Cal tells me that that you have a new little one."
"Yeah..."
"So what's his name?"
"Tim."
"You named your kid Tim."
"Yeah...it was Val's idea actually. Speaking of Valera she should have those result for me." said Eric as he walked out the door.
"They named there baby Tim." said Tim as he turned to face Calleigh.
"Yeah well...what are you gonna do?"

"So today went well." said Calleigh as she opened her locker that was next to Speed's.
"Oh yeah...let's just say I'm really tired of explaining it to everyone. For future refrence i've lost my ability to talk."
Calleigh smiled. "Ok i'll keep that in mind."
"Ok...well I promised Tyler i'd come see him before I left so i'll meet you at the car."
"Deal. I swear its hard to tell who your closer to Eric or stringbean."
"Oh and well just to let you know he hates it when you call him that." Tim smiled and left.
Calleigh was putting on her jacket when Ryan walked in.
"Thanks alot Calleigh. You just got me suspended."
"Well you deserve it."
"No I don't deserve it" shouted Ryan as he slammed Calleigh's locker door shut, causing her to jump.
"Ryan you made a sexual pass at me, without my consent you deserve whatever you get."
"I like you Calleigh. And you can't tell me you and Speedle never did anything together in the lab."
"No I can't...but with Tim he...he never forced me to do anything I didn't want to do."
"Yeah right." said Ryan angrily. "So he never shoved you." said Ryan as he shoved Calleigh against the lockers. "He never pined you like this against the wall." said Ryan as he pressed his body up against Calleigh's.
"Ryan let me go..."
"No."
"Your hurting me." said Calleigh. She would have tried to defend herself but she couldn't move.
"Hey what in the hell do you think your doing." said Tim as he pulled Ryan off Calleigh and knocked him into the lockers.
"Who in the hell do you think you are?" said Ryan pulling himself up onto his feet.
"I think i'm her husband."
"Your Tim Speedle."
"Yeah." Calleigh could see the anger in Tim's eyes and knew what was coming next. When Tim got mad he was like a ticking time bomb.
"Tim..."
"Calleigh get out of here."
"Tim..."
"Calleigh just go."
Calleigh nodded and went off in search for Horatio.
"Listen to me you sick son of bitch. When a women says to leave her alone...that means to leave her alone!" yelled Tim but his temper got the best of him and he punched Ryan straight across the face. "And if you ever...EVER...come near my wife again. I swear I will give you more then just a bloody nose."
"Yeah how do you expect to do that with a dirty gun."
Thats it. Tim had enough and just started to punch Ryan loosing his control with each punch.
"Speed...Speed." said Horatio as he ran in. "Speed stop!"
Tim backed off and walked away from Ryan.
"I hope you fully intened to punish him Horatio." said Ryan as he stood up.
"I'll see that he gets suspended." said Horatio.
"Thank you." said Ryan.
"But most importantly...your fired." said Horatio.
"I'm what..."
"You made 2 sexual advances at Calleigh. And you know what I'm sure Tim was just defending his wife. So I.A.B.'s gonna love this one. Get out of my lab."
"This isn't your lab."
"When somebody messes with my CSI's it. is. my. lab. So you heared me. Get out."

"Thank you." said Calleigh in her southern drawl as she held a ice pack on Tim's hand.
"I'd do anything for you."
Calleigh smiled. "I froze."
"What?"
"When he had me against the locker. I felt so powerless. I guess I know what it feels like to be a victim."
"Come here." said Tim and pulled Calleigh to him. "Its gonna be ok."
"I know it is." said Calleigh. "With you I know everything going to be ok."
Calleigh sighed as the front door open. "Mommy...i'm home." said Lilly.
"Well hey there sugar pie." said Calleigh as she walked into the living room with Tim.
"Daddy!" squealed Lilly and jumped into Tim's arms.
"Hey munckin."
"Mommy...do you see daddy to."
Calleigh smiled. "Yes baby I see him to."
"So your not a ghost?" asked Lilly turning to her father.
"No baby. I'm not."
TBC...I know I know it seems like its taking forever to get to the action. But Tim beat the crap out of Ryan. That's awesome!lol.
