Disclaimer: I don't own anything. Except for people you don't. Everything else belongs to the wonderful people over at CBS who took away our ship. lol.

Pairings: Speed and Calleigh.

Author's Note: This is a sequel to Coming Home. So you'll need to read that first. Sorry it took me so long to get this. I've been busy with my first wonderful week of school. (Can you hear the sarcasm. lol.)

---TALLEIGH---

Tim woke up and rolled over his hand hitting the bed. He sat up slowly. He always woke up with Calleigh next to him. And Tim didn't really like change. Tim grabbed his boxers from the floor and put them on and walked downstairs in search for Calleigh. Tim walked through the kitchen and onto the back proch were he found her leaning against the railing.

"Hey beautiful." said Tim as he wrapped his arms around her waist.

Calleigh glanced back at him . "Hey."

"You know how I don't like to wake up alone." said Tim as he kissed her neck. Calleigh pushed away and sighed. "Calleigh what's going on with you?"

Calleigh glared at him. "If you don't know what's wrong with me. Then obviously your not the man I married." said Calleigh and stormed off inside.

Tim sighed and followed her inside. He went to say something but Calleigh interrupted him. "Don't bother Speedle. We have to get to work anyways."

Tim nodded. Knowing there was no way to argue with her. She was southern, cute as hell, but once she made up her mind that was it.

---TALLEIGH---

"Hey guys." said Eric as Tim and Calleigh entered the break room. Neither of them saying a word. "Ok good morning to you to." said Eric as he sat down on the couch with his coffee. Calleigh grabbed a cup and walked out the door not saying a word. "What's with her?"

"She's just frustrated over this whole not being able to get a baby thing."

Eric nodded and gave Tim a sympathetic smile. "Well you want a baby right?"

"Of course I do Delko. But...what adoption agency in their right mind is going to give us a baby?"

Eric shrugged. He could tell his best friend was hurting and he had know way to help him.

"I just...I want a baby...just as much as the next person. But i'm kinda happy that Calleigh can't have one of her own. I just don't see why people should bring babies into this world when people that we see everyday...people like Staurt Otis can hurt them. I just don't see it." said Tim. Eric could tell Tim was on the verge of tears. Tim shrugged and left the room.

---TALLEIGH---

Tim sat on the bench in front of his locker. He sighed and opened his locker. Glancing at pictures of him and Calleigh. Some of him and Eric, Alexx and even one of Horatio. Tim smiled at their wedding photo. He was suprised when tears fell from his eyes. He did really want a baby but then again he didn't. He could barely stand it when Calleigh lost their first child. And then when Calleigh got shot. He just didn't want to take chance of losing someone he could get attached to. Tim didn't kicked his locker in frustration.

"Speed..." said Horatio. Tim jumped not knowing Horatio was standing there.

"Hey H." said Tim not turning around.

"You ok?"

Tim nodded. "I'm fine."

"Well if your sure your ok. We got a scene with your name on it."

Tim nodded. "What is it?"

"Male d.b. that's all I know."

Tim nodded. "Alright i'll be there in a minute."

"Ok take your time." said Horatio and left the room.

Tim sighed and wiped the tears from his face. And left the locker room.

---TALLEIGH---

Tim stepped out of his SUV and started to walk towards the crime scene. Calleigh turned around and walked over to him. "I don't think you should work this case."

"Why?" asked Tim slowly.

"You know the victim."

Tim's eye's narrowed. "What do you mean I know the victim Calleigh?"

Calleigh sighed and faught the tears in her eyes. She suddenly regreated being mad at him earlier. "Its...its James."

Tim's breath hitched. "No...Calleigh I just talked to him last night he was fine."

"I know baby." Tim shoved Calleigh's hand away and walked under the crime scene tape where he found Alexx examining the body.

"Timmy...you shouldn't be here."

"What's the COD Alexx?"

"Timmy..."

"Alexx don't ok."

"It looks like a gun shot wound to the throat. But i'll know more after post."

Tim nodded and Horato looked over at him. "Speed..."

Tim nodded and walked towards Horatio.

"Speed I can't let you work this?"

"H...you called me to this scene. I'm already here. I'm working it."

"Speed."

"Horatio...somebody just killed my brother. He just graduated from the academy. I'm staying on this case."

"Stetler's not going to let you."

Tim laughed lightly. "When have you ever cared about what Stetler does. A far as i'm concerend. Stletler. Can kiss my ass." said Tim and walked away.

---TALLEIGH---

Tim sat in the locker room. His cell phone in his hands. He didn't want to call his Mom, but he knew he had to. He opened the cell phone and dialed his parents number. "Hey mom its me."

"Timmy...how are you doing? How's Calleigh?"

"She's fine. I've been better."

"Timmy what's a matter?"

Tim sighed. "I got a call out today."

"Well you normally get those don't you?"

Tim sighed. "It was James mom."

Claudia was silent on the the other line. Tim could feel Calleigh sit down next to him. "Timmy you gotta be mistaken."

"I'm not mom."

"Timmy...he just graduated from the academy. He wanted to be just like you."

"I know mom. I'm sorry."

"Have you got any leads?"

"You know I can't talk about that."

Claudia sighed. "I got one baby in jail. Another risking his life everyday. And now one on a morgue slab."

"I'm sorry." was all Tim could say. He talked to his mom for a few more minutes then hung up the phone. "Her and my dad are going to fly down as soon as they can get a flight."

Calleigh nodded and put her hands over Tim's. "I'm sorry Tim."

"You didn't pull the trigger." said Tim softly.

"I know that. But i'm still sorry."

Tim nodded and began to cry slightly. "Oh baby come here." stated Calleigh and pulled Tim towards her and held him tightly as he cried.

"He was my little brother."

"I know...I know."

"We gotta find out who did this?"

"I know baby...and we will."

TBC...Hate it? Love it? Let me know in a review won't you.
