"Tim you have to put the screw in and then the nut over it. Not the other way around." said Calleigh as she watched him and Eric put together there second crib.
"Calleigh...I know what i'm doing."
"Sure you do. That's why it took you an hour to put together the other crib."
"Hey its not my fault you decided to have twins." Calleigh raised an eyebrow.
"Ok technically it is." Calleigh smiled.
"Well just hurry up will you two. I'd like to have them put together before the babies are born."
Eric snickered as Calleigh left the room. "Did Valera give you this much trouble when you had Jason?"
Eric shook his head. "No..."
"Lucky man." as Tim said that the side of the crib fell off and hit him in the head. Eric bit back a laugh.
"You want some help with that?" Tim just glared at him.

"I still think we should have painted it yellow."
"Calleigh please...no baby wants there room yellow."
"Well I just think it would have made the room look softer. Liliac's just to girly."
"Calleigh you are having girls."
"I know that...but i'd like to expand them you know...play sports...but also do the things girls do."
Tim laughed. "Like what getting there hair done and nails put on."
"Exactly...which reminds me..."
"Oh no...we spent more then enough on the girl's your not getting your hair done."
"Oh your a party pooper."
Tim rolled his eyes and went down stairs to watch the game.

"OH COME ON YOU IDIOT HE WAS OUT!" screamed Tim at the t.v.
Calleigh was resting on the other side of the couch. Tim looked over to make sure that his screams hadn't woken her up. Sure enough she was out of it. He swore a hurricane could come through the house right now and she'd still be asleep.
Tim smiled at the site and brushed a lock of hair out of her eyes. Tim's hand then found its way to her very swollen belly. He felt the baby's kick and he smiled. Tim bent down and kissed her belly. "I promise I will be the best dad ever."
"Like they had any doubts."
Tim looked up. "Your supposed to be asleep."
Calleigh smiled lightly and sat up with Tim's help. "Well...how could I with you screaming."
"Sorry but the game is not going in my favor."
"You make a bet with Eric again?"
Tim looked down at the floor.
"And you said I was wasting money."
Tim rolled his eyes as Calleigh rested her head on his chest. Tim's arms instantally went around her. "I love you."
Calleigh smiled. "I love-OW!"
"What's a matter?"
Calleigh sat up quickly holding her stomach. "Honey what's a matter?"
"I think...i'm having contractions."
Tim just stared at her. Calleigh hissed in pain. "Tell me what to do."
Calleigh bent over in pain. "The doctor's number's on the fridge...owwww...call him and tell him were on our way."
Tim nodded and jumped off the couch. He came back a few mintues later. "Ok I called him now what?"
"Go get my bag out of the hall closet and call Alexx then have her call everyone else."
Tim nodded and ran upstairs.

"Calleigh hi." said her doctor.
"Doctor William's hi."
"So you think your having contractions?"
Calleigh nodded. "HOw far apart?"
"About 15 minutes...they last about 4 minutes."
Doctor Williams nodded and looked over at Tim who was stroking Calleigh hair. "And how are you doing?"
Tim looked at the doctor. "I'm a little scared."
William's nodded. "You guys are going to be fine. It's ok it happens with first time parents. Ok, Calleigh look I'm going to exmaine you and see how many centimetes you are ok."
Calleigh nodded and looked over at Tim. "Hey you ok?"
Tim nodded. Calleigh smiled at the expression in his face. "Honey...why don't you go out in the waiting room and come back in in a few minutes."
"You sure your going to be ok?"
Calleigh nodded. "I'll be fine."
Tim smiled and kissed the top of her forehead and walked out of the room. The doctor waited until the door was closed and turned to Calleigh. "Your a very lucky women Mrs. Speedle. Tim looks like a great guy."
Calleigh smiled at the closed door. "You have no idea."

Eric stood up as Tim walked into the room. "Is she ok? Are the babies ok?"
Tim put his hands up. "Whoa were's the fire? Calm down man...The doctor's giving her an exam right now. To see how far along she is."
Eric nodded and sat down as Tim did to. Tim sighed and Horatio put a comforting hand on his shoulder. "You ok Speed?"
Tim nodded. "I just can't help but think how close I came to losing them...to losing you guys."
Horatio smiled. After Tim came back from the "dead" and the days went by the still got called to McCauley Jewlers but instead of getting a fatal shot to the chest. The bullet hit him in the shoulder.
FLASHBACK---
"SPEED!"
Tim looked up and quickly drew out his weapon he fired out one shot before he felt a pain in his left shoulder, knocking him down to the floor.
"Speed...hey you ok?"
Tim sat up slowly. "Yeah...its just the shoulder. But it hurts like hell."
Horatio nodded and took off his jacket and applied it to Tim's wound. "Alright hang on i'm gonna call rescue."
Horatio did. And he never would forget the look on Calleigh's face as they were loading him into the ambulance.
"Ms. You can't be here. We have to get him to the hospital."
"The hell I can't. He's my husband. I'm going with you."
The medic nodded and Calleigh climbed in. "You scared me. I hope you know that." said Calleigh as she held onto his right hand.
Tim frowned. "I'm sorry."
Calleigh smiled and brushed his hair back. "Its alright i'll forgive you this time. But next time. You won't be so lucky."

"Mr. Speedle." Tim looked up at the call of his name.
"Yes?"
"She's ready."

Calleigh nodded and pushed, squezzing Tim's hand for dear life. "Come on honey you can do this." Calleigh nodded.
"Great. Calleigh we got her out. Ok you rest for a few seconds before its time to do it again."
Calleigh groaned. "I can't do it again."
Tim smiled. "Sweetheart you have to."
Calleigh sighed and sat up. The doctor looked up at Calleigh. "You ready?" Calleigh nodded and Tim gripped her hand again.
"Ok on 3...1...2...3. Push Calleigh push!"
"I can't. I'm to tired."
"Calleigh honey look at me." Calleigh groaned in pain and looked at Tim. Tim took the wet wash cloth and wiped her forehead. "Look in my eyes. OK. You can do this. Just concentrate on our little girls ok."
Calleigh smiled and pushed not taking her eyes off her husband.
