CHAPTER 5 (really already? mmm...)

"Hey...you've uh...seem kinda distance lately. Are you ok?" asked Eric to Calleigh over evidence.

"How do you mean?"

"Well these past 6 months you've just been kinda...gone."

Calleigh closed her eyes for a second. She wanted to tell Eric but she didn't know how to. "I've just need some space that's all."

"Calleigh...do you think we've rushed into this marriage?" started Eric. "I mean...you came over that night...and we..."

FLASHBACK---

Eric sighed as he answered the door. "Calleigh...what...are you crying?"

"I didn't know where else to go." Calleigh sobbed.

Eric pulled her inside. "What's wrong? What happend?"

"Me and Tim broke up."

"Can I ask why?"

Calleigh shrugged. "I just couldn't deal with him anymore."

"You broke up with him?" Calleigh nodded. "I'm...sorry. come on why don't you sit down and i'll get you a glass of water or something." Calleigh nodded and Eric came back a few minutes later. "Here ya go."

"Thank you."

"Was it because of what happend today?" started Eric. "If...you don't mind me asking?"

Calleigh nodded slightly. "I"m scared that i'm going to lose him to something that I love Eric and I can't handle that."

Eric sighed and sat down next to her and let Calleigh lean on him while she cried. And before you now it one friend is comforting another friend and not by words either.

PRESENT---

Calleigh took a deep breath. "I dunno Eric...all I know is...I don't regret Maggie for one second."

"Speaking of Maggie..."

Calleigh...knowing were Eric was going with this had to react quickly. "I um...have some ballistics to run."

Eric sighed. He knew that this just wasn't going to work out.

"Hi." said Tim as he opened his door.

"Hi...can I come in?"

Tim nodded and let Calleigh enter his apartment. "I didn't think you were going to come tonight."

"Well...I needed to see you."

Tim smiled and kissed Calleigh lightly. "Listen Calleigh...I love you and you know that. But...you've got to tell Eric...or I will. I mean I maybe mad at him but...it's still not right to lie to the poor guy."

"Oh and what we've been doing for the past 6 months isn't mean to him?"

"Hey you came on to me."

"Oh don't you try to turn this on me?"

"Calleigh will you just stop...ok...just STOP." said Tim his temper raising slightly. Calleigh noticed and backed away slightly. She knew he'd never hurt her but it still scared her. "Look...its either me... or...him. Take your pic."

"I can't believe your doing this to me? I love you Tim...but I...I'm so confused..."

"What is there to be confused about Calleigh? If you love me then you've got to tell Eric that."

"It's not that easy."

"I know it's not easy Cal...but-"

"You don't understand."

"Then explain it to me."

"I can't." said Calleigh her voice cracking.

"Yes you can."

"No I can't!"

"Calleigh..."

"Fine you wanna know? I'll tell you. I'm pregnant..ok i'm pregnant and I don't know if its my husbands or my lovers..." Calleigh sighed and went for the door, but turned around. "And you know the bad thing is...i'm not even sure if Maggie's Eric's or not. What kind of mother am I? Don't even know who her child's father is."

Tim watched as Callegih slammed the door behind her. He wanted to go after her but the thought of him being a father...not once...but two times...and kind of close together. Tim sighed and sat down on the couch.

"So I guess it's just me and you." said Tim as he got into the Hummer with Calleigh. Calleigh ignored him and got in. "Ok...thanks for the conversation." said Tim sarcastically. "Calleigh...will you please talk to me."

"We have nothing to talk about."

Tim sighed. "How far along are you?"

"A week."

Tim sighed again. "Is that all you know how to do?"

"What?"

"We've been in the car for less then five seconds and all you've done is sigh about five times."

"Calleigh...I don't know what else to do. If Maggie...and the baby are mine then I will provide for them the best I can. But you've got to meet me half way here."

Calleigh looked at Tim and saw he was being honest. "Were here...we'll talk about it later." Tim nodded and stepped out of the hummer.

"Oh my..." said Calleigh in her southern drawl.

"What?"

"That...car...its gorgeous."

"Calleigh...please...its...a hunk a junk. It's just another bad investment. I'm just happy I have my bike."

"Well...you just might have to trade in that bike."

Tim looked at Calleigh. "Hey I said I'd help. I never said anything about giving up Louise."

"Louise?"

"Yeah don't you know all guys name there cars...well bikes." Calleigh laughed as Tim opened the door to McCauley jewlers for her.

"Can I help you?"

"Yes...are you Mr. MacCauley?"

"Mr. McCauley is the previous owner. I'm the new owner. Rudolph Kerder call me Rudy."

Calleigh nodded as Tim walked off to the side. Tim didn't know what hit him but his stomach just dropped. The women behind the counter just looked a little to happy. Tim looked over and saw a man hiding under a table. The next thing Tim heared was Calleigh saying his name.

"Tim..."

Tim looked behind him and looked Calleigh right in the eye. She could tell by the look in his eyes that something was up. "Don't go anywhere." started Calleigh. "Tim..."

Tim didn't answer but just reached for his gun. The next thing either of them knew two men had come out from the back and started firing Calleigh fired the first shot just missing the guy. Calleigh took a quick glance at Tim who had raised his gun and fired. Getting the first guy square in the chest. Calleigh let out a sigh as she fired again. But before she could do anything a third man came out and fired directly at Tim. Sending him to the ground.

"Tim!" yelled Calleigh through shots. "Tim..." said Callegih breathesly as she rushed to his side.

"I...I can't feel anything."

"I know...I know...I understand you just hang on ok." said Calleigh as she grabbed her cell phone. "This is CSI Duquesne...i've got a man down at MacCauley Jewlers...I need an ambulance...NOW...I repeat man down!"

"Calleigh..."

"Shh...don't try to talk ok...you just relax an ambulance is going to be here any second...ok...you just hang on..." Calleigh took of her jacket and applied it to Tim's wound. "You hang in there."

"Hold...hold...my hand..." Tim said weakly. Calleigh's heart broke at the pain in his voice. "Tell me everything's going to be ok."

Calleigh smiled slightly as she gripped his hand. "Everything's going to fine...ok...you...you're... going to be fine."

"I..." Tim coughed sending little splatters of blood on Calleigh's face.

"Tim...honey...please don't do this to me...Tim..."

"I'm sorry...for not..."

"Shhh...ok you just hold on ok...you just hold on for this little thing." said Calleigh taking her hand and putting it on her belly for a second and then quickly went back to grasping his hand.

Tim smiled slightly and Calleigh felt his hand loosen its grip with hers. "Tim...please." Calleigh's head snapped up as she heared sirens in the distance. "Tim...there here...you just hang on...please..."

TBC...Ok yeah that was lost son but I just changed it up a bit. Please review..Thanks in advance.
