Disclaimer: I don't own any characters or events from the actual show CSI:Miami, though, yes, I do wish. Lots. Anyways, I do however own this story (I hope…) and the characters of Alyssa and Cruz are from me…

Summary: A case from Tim's past comes back, and this time its his family who face the consequences…

Pre-Chapter.

Tim Speedle walked out his bedroom. Rubbing his eye, he walked into the table on the landing of the house. Groaning he knew it was going to be one of those days and he wished he could get Alyssa and go back to bed. He walked into the kitchen still groaning in pain.

"W'sup baby?" Alyssa Diaz asked him

"I walked into the table"

"You are such a kid, Tim Speedle"

"It hurt…." He looked like an innocent little boy and Alyssa grinned and kissed his pouting lips. She giggled when he kept a swift hold on her and deepened the kiss. She broke it off, much to the dismay of Tim, who groaned in response, this time not from the pain where the corner of the table had caught his thigh.

"Oh, it hurt, huh?"

"Not 'ny more"

"I'll bet"

"Funny this mornin', aren't we?"

"Someone's grumpy….Daddy's grumpy this mornin' baby girl" Alyssa said to the infant in her play pen that was on the floor, nearest the dining table.

"Am not, I am in pain and your mommy wont give me sympathy"

Cruz simply gurgled in response and Tim looked pointedly at Ally.

"She agrees with me."

"Oh, she does huh?.." Tim nodded and cocked his head to the side "Well, if Cruz agrees, Mommy will just have to give daddy some sympathy then…"

Speed caught her by the waist and tilted her chin upwards. He leant down and kissed her and she slid her hand up his thigh. He caught her hand with ease and pulled back to look at her. She looked at him, innocently.

"We both know what happened last time you started this and couldn't end it." He told her, catching the glint in her eye.

"We both know what happened last time when you FINALLY got home." She smirked

"Yea and I know the pain I was in ALL day"

"Yea and I was the one receiving the texts messages"

They stared at each other and all though neither would back down they each knew the other wasn't denying that it hadn't been fun at the time. What had made it worse was Tim had pulled two scenes that day and the sheer frustration had damn near killed him.

"This is not the day for this babe" Tim finally said

"Why? ...'cos you're in pain?" Alyssa held it for all of two seconds before bursting into laughter.

"Now I'm grumpy"

"No, you're not. You're just mad because you have to go catch bad guys instead of taking of your beautiful fiancée to bed for the day"

"Why? She here?" Tim looked behind him.

Alyssa threw the dish towel at him and caught him across the chest.

"Great, now we're resortin' to domestic violence in front of our child"

"Ya know if she grows up with your sarcasm we're gettin' divorced"

"Well, shouldn't be hard…we ain't there yet"

"Smart ass"

"Am not a CSI for nothing…"

"Solve this one…you don't hurry up you're gonna be what?..."

"Late…again…"

"You can explain it to Horatio then" Alyssa said

"Yea…got it all worked out…hey H, sorry am late, my darling fiancée was practisin' bein' a smart ass this mornin"

"You're pushin' it now" She told him

"I know what I'd like to be pushin…" He told her, sweeping his eyes over her body. She was wearing a dressing gown and only had her underwear on under it.

"Timothy Aidan Speedle!"

"Cruz, please don't grow up to be like your mother"

"Get outta here! Shower! Now!" Alyssa said grinning. Tim threw up his hands and turned from the kitchen.

As he walked up through the large apartment, Tim couldn't shake off the uneasy feeling in the pit of his stomach. He didn't know what it was, but he didn't like it. Something about this day felt off and Tim wished it would disappear.

Its all H's fault anyways, if it wasn't for him, I'd never have developed this skill: Tim thought to himself as her turned on the shower and stepped inside.
