"Hey...hey what are you doing?" asked Calleigh as Tim tried to get out of bed.
"I just wanted to go get a soda."
"Well let me do that ok. Your on bed rest...so rest."
"I'm not handicapped."
"I know your not. But you were shot. Ok...so stop acting like you weren't."
Tim sighed. "Calleigh..."
"I"m gonna go get you that soda."
Tim sighed once again and watched Calleigh walked out the door. She came back a few minutes later a cold soda in her hands.
"Here super man."
"Thanks...so if i'm super man I guess that makes you Lois Lane?"
Calleigh smiled and kissed Tim lightly. Before it could become passionate she pulled away. " I have to go to work." Calleigh replied regreatfully.
"Ok...I'll see you later."
Calleigh nodded. "Yeah...i'll call you. And no getting out of bed Mr. I'll come back on break and bring you something to eat."
"Yes master."

Calleigh sighed as she walked out of the elevator and into the layout room. "Horatio?"
"Good morning Calleigh."
"Have we got anything?"
Horatio shook his head. Not taking his eyes off the picture on the wall.
"I wasn't talking about the Killman case." Horatio sighed and turned around.
"Neither was I."
Calleigh frowned and sat down. "I can't sleep Horatio. Knowing that this guy is still out there."
"I know...were all on edge." Calleigh nodded. "How's he doing?"
Calleigh rolled her eyes. "That stubborn huh?"
Calleigh nodded. "Yeah...and get worse day by day."

Tim was awoken when he heared the bedroom door open. Tim turned lightly expecting to see Calleigh. But instead found Eric holding a bag.
"What are you doing here?"
"Calleigh...got held up at the lab. I voluntered to bring you lunch. Hope McDonalds is ok."
"Big Mac?"
"With a Doctor Pepper and I supersized it."
Tim smirked you know me so well. "Well...i've known you for years and you always get the same thing." said Eric as he handed Tim the bag.
Tim looked at Eric and nodded. "We ok?"
Eric nodded. "Yeah were good."
Tim looked over at Eric's left hand. "I see you took your ring off."
"Yeah."
"Delko you sure your ok. I never meant for what happend to happen."
"I know...neither of you did. I understand. Honestly. Me and Calleigh rushed into things. I don't even think I really loved Calleigh as more then a friend anyways. She was hurting and I just took a chance."
Tim nodded. "So how is she doing? She won't tell me anything?"
"Oh and you think she talks to me?"
Tim shrugged. "I"m just worried about her. She won't let the fact go that the guy's still out there."
Eric nodded. "She's going to over work herself."
"That's why we gotta find this guy."

Calleigh smiled as she walked into Tim's bedroom. Calleigh took her gun and badge off and set it on the dresser. Calleigh then walked over to Tim and took the book of his chest. "You always were the book worm."
"I heared that."
Calleigh smiled and ran her hands through his hair. "How you feeling?"
"Better." Tim eyed her. "I could do without the morning sickness but i'm ok."
Tim smiled slightly and put his hand on her slightly swollen belly. "I can't believe I missed out on all of it."
"I'm sorry."
"You have nothing to be sorry for. It was my fault. I should have cleaned my gun."
"Tim...-"
TIm put a finger to her lips. "Shhh..let me finish." Calleigh sighed and let him continue. "It was my fault. Ok. I've accepted that and you need to to. Ok. Look Calleigh because I didn't clean my gun Holis lost his life...and I lost you."
"I told you there was nothing you could have done."
"Well I feel like there was."
"But there wasn't and all-" Calleigh cut herself of with a feeling of Deja vu. "We've had this conversation before. And I told you there was nothing you could have done."
"I know what you told me. But it doesn't change how I feel." Calleigh sighed and kissed him.
Calleigh laid in his arms hours later just watching him sleep. Calleigh took her right hand and rubbed his stubbled cheek. "I love you more then anything." Tim twitched lightly and Calleigh smiled. "If anything ever happend to you again I think i'd lose it." Calleigh sighed when her cell phone rang.
"Duquesne."
"Calleigh I need you at the lab."
"Horatio what's a matter?"
"I got a lead."
"On the Killman case?"
"No...on Speed's case."
"I'll be right there." Calleigh smiled and hung up her phone. She quickly put on her clothes and kissed Tim on the forehead before she left.
Tim shifted and his eyes fluttered open. "What's a matter?"
"Nothing...that was Horatio."
"What's up?"
"We got a lead on the man who shot you. He wants me down there."
Tim nodded. "You go get him."
"Don't worry I will."
Tim nodded and took Calleigh by the hand as she tried to get up. "I love you. More then anything."
Calleigh smiled. "I swear I never know when your sleeping or not." Tim smiled and watched Calleigh walk out the door. Hopefully to find the guy who did this to him.
