"Oh my gosh." said Calleigh cheerfully as Tim pulled into the outskirts of Calleigh's home town. "This place hasn't changed one bit."
Tim smiled at Calleigh's excitment. "We still got about another half hour. Why don't you try to get some sleep you've been up for a really long time."
Calleigh yawned and looked back at the kids who were asleep. "Alright...but you wake me up as soon as we get there."
"No...I plan on letting you sleep in the car."
"Always so sarcastic." muttered Calleigh.

Tim looked over and saw Calleigh fast asleep, he smiled and shook her shoulder lightly. "Cal...Calleigh wake up."
Calleigh nudged Tim's hand away. "Not now Timmy...i'm tired."
Tim smiled. "No baby...were here."
"Were here?" asked Calleigh sitting up quickly.
Tim smiled. "Mmmhmm..."
Calleigh smiled and got out of the car. "Oh...don't worry." started Tim. "I'll get the kids." said Tim sarcastically as Calleigh ran to the door.
Calleigh's brother Jason opened the door. "Calleigh...!"
"Jason." said Calleigh as she threw her arms around her little brother's neck. "Oh its so good to see you."
"I see your still as short as ever."
Calleigh glared at him. Jason noticed Tim struggling to get both James and Eva out of the car. "Hey Tim...you need some help?"
"NO...thanks...I got it."
Jason laughed and took James out of the car. "I guess your not as strong as you thought you were."
"It's not my fault. James weigh's like a million pounds."
"Well he doesn't get the weight from our side of the family." piped up Calleigh.
"I swear...your father owns resturants and people hold it against you for the rest of your life."

"Oh...its so good to see you honey..." said Calleigh's mom Emily.
"It good to see you to mommy." started Calleigh. "So..."
"So what?" asked Emily as she put a dish into the dishwasher.
"You gonna let Daddy come back home?"
Emily sighed. "Calleigh..."
"Well now Mom I know he's done some bad stuff but-"
"But nothing Calleigh...this conversation is over." said Emily and walked out of the room. Calleigh sighed as Tim walked in.
"How much of that did you hear?"
"Not alot."
Calleigh nodded. "Hey." said Tim as he wrapped his arms around Calleigh's waist. "Let's not think about that ok. Let's just enjoy our vacation."
Calleigh nodded. "Your right." said Calleigh and put on a fake smile Tim knew all to well.

"Grandma?"
"Yes Eva?"
"Can me and James ride the horse's?"
Emily looked at Calleigh who looked at Tim worriedly. "I don't thin-"
"Sure." said Tim.

"Eva sweetheart you sure you don't want mommy to ride with you."
"I'm a big girl mommy. I can do it myself. Besides Unlce Jason's right here."
"Relax Cal...she's fine."
Calleigh let out a sigh and nodded. "She's gonna be fine." said Tim as he wrapped his arms around Calleigh's waist.
"I know."
"Dad...can I jump the posts with Sprout?" asked James.
"Sure...becareful."
"You got it."
Tim and Calleigh smiled. James looked really good on a horse for a 10 year old.
"Guys...look at me..." squealed Eva. "I"m doing it daddy...i'm doing it."
"Yeah...baby you sure are."

A week later it was time to leave. "Alright so Jason's gonna drive us to the airport and then when were done in Vegas were gonna get a flight to New York...and then catch a flight back here pick up our car and then head to Orlando." said Calleigh.
"Sounds like you guys are gonna be busy."
"Yeah..." started Calleigh. "We'll see you Momma."
"OK...by baby..."
"By Grandma." yelled James and Eva together. Emily walked over to the car and pinched James' cheeks.
"Grandma..."
"Sorry their just so cute. I'll see you baby." said Emily and kissed James's forehead. "Eva...you be nice to your brother..."
"I always am Grammy."
Emily gave Eva a stern look. "Eva..."
"Alright...alright...I promise."
Tim smiled and closed Eva's door. "Mrs. Duquesne...pleasure as always."
"Call me Emily..."
"Emily."
Emily smiled and hugged Tim. "Cal's...lucky to have a guy like you."
"I'm lucky to have a girl like her."

"Baddest cat in the whole damn town." started Warrick and turned around. "Speedle..."
"Hey man." said Tim as he embraced Warrick in a brotherly hug. "How have you been man?"
"Good...good...and I see that your doing very well for yourself." said Warrick looking at Calleigh.
"Yeah...he poped the question a few days after our all's case."
Warrick nodded. "And who are they?"

"Who'd you get married to?"
"Catherine." started Warrick. "I guess all CSI'S are shackin up."
"How do you mean?"
"Well Nick and Sara got married about 3 years ago. And have a two month old."
"Aww...what a great age."
Warrick snickered. "Not for Nick its not..." He went to say something but was cut off by his cell phone. "Brown...yeah...alright...i'll be right there."
"Slave driver?"
"Yeah...Grissom... I'm...supposed to be on vacation."
"Your tall..." said Eva.
Warrick smiled. "And your pretty." Eva smiled and hid behind Calleigh's leg.
"Thank you."
"See ya later man."
Warrick through his hand up in the air to say bye. "Daddy..."
"Yes baby?"
"I wanna go to a casino."
Tim laughed and picked up Eva and put her on his shoulders. "Sorry baby...you got a while to wait for that."
