Eric looked up as Tim stomped into the break room.

"Isn't it your day off?"

"No." Tim growled. "Ever wake up and feel like you've stepped into an alternate reality?"

"Yeah. When Max is mad at me. She's a totally different person."

"Wait Max... Maxine? Valera? Since when have you two been dating?"

Eric stared at Tim.

"You were my best man a few years ago."

"Oh you're in on this too I forgot." Tim muttered.

"Are you and Calleigh fighting?"

"We were. For a year. Then... then I woke up and I'm married to her with two kids."

"Right."

"Eric, you don't remember?"

"Remember what?" he asked, sipping his coffee.

"Okay. Calleigh and I dated okay?"

"Well you have to, to get on the road to getting married."

"Delko..."

"Okay go on."

"But... I was worried about work. I chose my job over her okay? You got mad at me and we barely speak anymore. She hates me, will only talk if it has to do with work. I went to bed last night a bachelor Eric and I woke up and I'm a husband and a father." Tim said. "And not a very good one."

Eric raised his eyebrows.

"Speed, those kids love you. You love them. You've been a totally different guy since T.J was born and Ava has you wrapped around her finger."

"Eric, I don't remember anything about them. I've never seen them before. I don't know who they are, what they like, if I've punished them. I don't remember them being born."

"Speed,"

A new lab tech walked into the break room then.

I don't remember our wedding or our honeymoon."

Eric stared at Tim and clapped him on the shoulder.

"Do you want a divorce?"

"Am I interrupting something?" the lab tech asked.

"No. We're not married to each other." Eric replied. "Speed,"

"Eric, I don't remember anything and I have a good reason to. Yesterday I was not part of this world. Yesterday I was in this crazy world where you and Calleigh hated me. But I don't know... it... there so much evidence that this is how things have been."

"And this is how they've been. Tim, do you want a divorce?"

"I..."

Tim thought for a minute. He knew he had been an idiot for leaving Calleigh and he still loved her. But he had screwed up and was paying the consequences. Now... things were how he wanted it to be but... how could he be her husband and a father to her children when he doesn't even remember them?

"You have to take me home."

"Why?"

"I don't know where I'm going." Tim mumbled. But he did know he wanted to see Calleigh.

----------S/C--------

Tim walked into the living room and saw Calleigh sitting there. Ava was playing on the floor with a Dora the Explorer doll and one of T.J's Teen Titan action figures.

"Hi." Calleigh looked up at Tim and he pulled her into a hug.

"I'm sorry." he mumbled. He had decided in the car to act like he had a bad dream and thought that his world was over. Lame, he knew, but it was the best he could do at this time and he'd act like he knew Ava and T.J and try to be a good father to them. If he was stuck in this alternate life, he was going to have to make the best of it. "I just... had this crazy dream and I thought that was how life was. It was like I couldn't wake up and I just needed to clear my head."

"It's okay." Calleigh leaned up and kissed him lightly. "Ava, baby, T.J is gonna be mad when he sees what you're doing."

"I'm gonna eat you." Ava ignored her mother and stuck the Teen Titan in Dora's smiling mouth. Tim stared at the little girl in horror. How could something so tiny be so... vicious? Then he glanced down at Calleigh and realized he should never underestimate something just because of its size.

"Mom?" T.J called.

"What?"

"Have you seen Beast Boy?"

Tim glanced at Ava and realized the Teen Titan must be Beast Boy. T.J came downstairs and his green eyes narrowed, seeing his sister playing happily.

"T.J, hang on a second," Tim started but Ava cut him off.

"Look T.J! Dora eats Beast Boy!" she squealed.

"Ava, give your brother back Beast Boy." Tim said.

"But Daddy!"

"But Daddy nothing. Give it back."

Ava's bottom lip began to quiver and Tim sighed, not thinking he could take another bout of crying from the toddler.

"T.J, let her just play with it."

"No! She's always taking my stuff!"

"You steal!" Ava yelled. "You steal Dolly and hurt her!"

T.J took a step towards Ava and Tim grabbed him by the t-shirt.

"T.J she just wanted to play with it."

"She should've asked first."

"That's right she should've. Ava, apologize to T.J."

"No." Ava continued to play. Calleigh leaned back into the couch, obviously letting Tim take charge of this one. "He's mean."

Tim bit his tongue for a second and looked at his daughter. God that felt weird to think that. She looked like him, had Calleigh's personality, but his stubbornness. Tim glanced behind him to Calleigh but she just smiled. T.J decided he had had enough and marched over to his sister and yanked the action figure out of her hand. Ava began crying and ran over to Tim, climbing up onto his lap. Tim wrapped a strong arm around her small waist to keep her from falling off him. He sighed to himself as Ava looked up, her tearful chocolate eyes meeting Tim's.

"Daddy..." she had a pleading tone in her voice that had Tim thinking 'oh hell no.' He was a sucker to sweet, pleading tones like the one Ava had just put on. Why? He didn't know. Thank god no one at CSI talked that way or a lot of murderers would be running free over Miami.

"What?"

"I just want to play with Beast Boy." Ava said. Calleigh watched the pair, knowing what was coming.

"Well I uh... you... T.J... it's T.J's toy." Tim said. He glanced over at his son but he had ran back upstairs.

"Then play Dora with me."

"Is she gonna eat me?"

Ava giggled and shook her head. Tim sighed and nodded, knowing he would have to get used to this. Calleigh watched the two of them for a while, but more specifically Tim. There was something different about him.
