"Hey Eric." stated Calleigh as she walked into the fingerprint lab.
"Hey Cal...what's up?"
"Has Tim talked to you lately."
"He talks to me evevryday Cal."
"Please don't get sarcastic with me."
"Somethin going on between you two?"
"I dunno. I honestly don't...Sometimes I think maybe...I dunno. Something's wrong with him. Has he talked to you about anything?"
Eric shook his head. "No." Calleigh sighed. "But I could talk to him for you."
"Would you?" Eric nodded. "Oh Eric your a lifesaver thank you. Ok if you need me-"
"You'll be in firearms." Calleigh nodded and smiled and walked out. Eric made a mental note talk to him later.

Tim opened his locker and immediatley saw a picture of him, Calleigh and James. Tim smiled and took the small picture from the magnet that was holding it in place. He looked at his son who was asleep in Calleigh's arms who was asleep in Tim's arms. Alexx had took the picture and said it had to go in his locker. So whatever Alexx said you did. Well atleast if you knew what was good for you. "I'm sorry." whispered Tim as put the picture back onto his locker door. "I'm so sorry."

"Ok...pick a flower." stated Calleigh.
"Come on Calleigh do I have to?"
"Yes you do..now pick one."
Tim sighed and sat down next to Calleigh on their bed. "The Lily...because it's your favorite flower."
"Arn't you sweet."
Tim shrugged. Tim jumped when Calleigh snapped the book shut. "Alright Timothy James Speedle what is your problem?"
"Nothing."
"Tim!"
"Calleigh...its nothing...ok..just drop it."
"No...Tim your scaring me...what is going on?"
"Nothing."
"Are you cheating on me?"
"Calleigh...how can you even think that I would do something like that?"
"Well Tim...your not really leaving me much of a choice." started Calleigh. "I know there is something going on with you...just tell me what it is baby and I will help you."
"You can't help me."
"Tim...if you tell me maybe I can."
Tim shook his head and walked out of the room. Calleigh sighed and picked up all the wedding magizne's on the bed and threw them on the floor.

Tim worked late again that night and was on his way to his SUV when he felt like he was being watched. Tim turned around. "Someone there?" Tim didn't hear a reply and got in his car and took off for home. He didn't know what was wrong with him but he just had this gut feeling that someone was watching him. And having a stalker never turned out neatly.

Tim walked into the living room and stepped on one of James' rattles. Tim laughed lightly. He walked upstairs and checked in on James fast asleep in his bed. He then walked in his bedroom and quickly got undressed and climbed in next to Calleigh and wrapped his arms around her waist. Tim looked at her and kissed her shoulder. "I love you."

"Hey Speedle..." called Eric as he saw Tim coming out of trace.
"Hey what's up?"
"Listen you got a minute?"
"Sure...Maxine problems?"
Eric chuckled. "Not exaclty."
"Well then what's up?"
"Are you ok?"
"What? Did Calleigh ask you to talk to me?"
Eric didn't say anything. "I don't believe this. There's is nothing wrong with me."
"Speed...come on...what's going on?"
Tim sighed and pulled Eric into the locker room. "Alright for the past...year, year in a half i've felt like somebody's been watching me. Watching me and Calleigh. And I just have this feeling like something's going to happen."
"Did you tell Horatio about it?"
Tim shook his head. "No."
"Well your normally right about these 'feelings.' So i'd tell him about it."
"Maybe I should...I dunno...I don't want to worry Calleigh but if I don't tell her something i'm afraid she'll leave me."
Eric laughed. "Trust me Speed...that's one thing you don't have to worry about. I honestly don't see what she see's in you but...-"
"Alright..I get your point. I'm gonna go talk to H...i'll see you later."
"See ya man."

"Why didn't you come to me sooner?"
Tim shrugged. "I didn't really think it was anything."
Horatio nodded. "Have you seen anybody?"
Tim shook his head. "No...just a feeling. I mean its not much to go on but...i'm normally right about these things."
Horatio nodded. "I know...why do you think I hired you."
Tim smiled slightly. "I'll look into it Speed. In the mean time...your getting married in a week. Take a day off...and maybe see a doctor about some sleeping pills."
Tim nodded and left.

"Alright what kind of icing to put on the cake, dishes, fish or chicken lay it on me." said Tim as he walked into the kitchen.
"Done...done and done."
"Alright...well let me pick out the band...and I promise I won't pull a chandler and book the Swing Kings."
"Done."
"So is there anything I can do?"
Calleigh ignored him and coninued to load the dishwasher. "You didn't want to help so I took care of it."
Tim sighed and wrapped his arms around her waist. "I'm sorry."
"Sorry doesn't cut it Tim...its not...your acting like you don't want to get married."
"No...Calleigh...I want to get married. Believe me there's nothing more that I want to do-"
"Then what's the problem?"
Tim went to say something but was cut off by James' screams. "I'll get him."
