"So we have nothing?" asked Calleigh with sadness in her voice.
"I'm afraid so." Calleigh sighed heavily.
"So a cop shooter just runs lose on the streets." Horatio cocked his head and looked at Calleigh.
"I'm afraid so."
Calleigh shook her head. "So that's it...there's nothing we can do?" asked Eric.
Horatio shook his head. "There was nothing left at the scene...the bullet the doctor pulled out of Speed...came from a gun that was unregistered. We got nothing to go on."
"Well...I could make a decription for the sketch artist...put it out and if anybody...-" Calleigh was cut off by Horatio's cell phone.
"Caine." Horatio's breath hitched causing both Calleigh and Eric to look at him. "Mmmmhmm...ok...no...I understand...yes...thank you doctor."
"H?"
"The was doctor Coleman...who operated on Speed."
"And?"
"Tim lapsed into coma about 10 minutes ago...they don't think he's going to come out of it."

Calleigh sighed as she sat down on the bed. "You wanted to talk?"
Eric nodded and sat down next to her. "Calleigh...look...i'd be a pretty bad CSi if I didn't notice what was going on."
Calleigh nodded. "I never meant to hurt you Eric, you've got to believe that."
"I know you never wanted to...I guess I knew from the beginning that you'd always go back to him. I mean when you guys were dating you were always together." Calleigh smiled slightly. "I just want to know how long its been going on? The whole time?"
"No...about 6 months."
Eric nodded. "So...what happens to us?"
"I guess...we should...file for divorce."
"Yeah..."

Calleigh sighed heavily as she walked into Tim's room. He was covered in cords things going in and out of him. Calleigh wished she could just wave her hand or twitch her noise and make it all go away. Calleigh pulled a chair next to his bed and grabbed his hand. It felt cold. Like ice. "...this shouldn't be you lying here...you don't deserve this." Calleigh cried softly as she held his hand. "I love you...so much."
FLASHBACK----
"Tim...what are we doing here?"
"You'll see."
"Tim...you know I don't like suprises."
Tim stopped and turned to her. "Do you trust me?"
"You know I do."
"Then shut up."
Calleigh sighed as Tim took her hand again and lead her down the beach. "Can I take the blindfold off now?"
Tim stopped and carefully took off the blindfold. Calleigh blinked adjusting to the dimlight and looked around. "Oh my..." started Calleigh. Her voice cracking. "Its beautiful." said Calleigh as she looked around at the small table for two lit by candles. Calleigh watched as Tim walked over to a small cd player and pressed play. He then walked over to her and wrapped his arms around her waist.
"Do you like it?"
"I love it. Thank you."
"Happy birthday baby."
Calleigh smiled and kissed Tim passionatley. And to what Calleigh could recall neither of them had dinner that night.
PRESENT----
"Tim...please you have to wake up...please...I need you..." Calleigh swollowed before continuing she knew that there was a chance that he wouldn't be able to hear her. But she needed to get this off her chest. "Maggie needs you. I got the test results back this morning...she's yours. Calleigh managed to choke out.
Alexx who was watching from the doorway choked back a sob and closed the door. Her Timmy was a daddy. She just hoped he'd come out of the coma to hear that little girl call him daddy.

"Mr. Delko...you sure this is what you want?" asked Eric's lawyer. Eric nodded and signed the divorce papers. Before signing he glanced at Calleigh's perfect hand writting. He knew this is what he wanted. Right then he knew Calleigh was never the one for him. But Eric knew she was still out there. And maybe not that far away.
"So its done?"
Eric's lawyer nodded. "Its offical...your a free man."
Eric nodded thanked the lawyer and walked out.

Calleigh shifted in her seat. She was deep in sleep but she kept hearing talking and it was driving her crazy.
"She looks so peaceful...I hate to wake her. She's been here every night for the past 3 weeks. She's barely slept a wink."
"She needs to be woken up."
Calleigh heared someone say but didn't feel like opening her eyes. "She needs to know."
Calleigh heared footsteps and someone's hand on her shoulder.
"Calleigh..."
Calleigh groaned and shifted and lifted her head. "Mmmm..."
"Calleigh honey wake up..."
Calleigh yawned and sat up looking directly at Alexx. "What's a matter?"
Alexx shook her head. "Nothing." And gestured over to Tim. Calleigh slowly turned her head and saw a pair of chocolate brown eyes starring at her. Calleigh smiled brightly and Horatio and Alexx took this as the oppurtinity to leave.
"Hey you."
"Hi." muttered Tim horsely.
"I was so afraid-" Tim shook his head and grabbed her hand.
"I'm fine."
Calleigh nodded and kissed his forehead. "I love you."
Tim smiled slightly. "I love you to."
