After Calleigh had come back from taking a walk she walked into Tim's room. She looked at the machines that were beeping. They were annoying her but they were what was keeping him alive. Calleigh's eyes slowing made there way up Tim's frame. Calleigh put a hand to her mouth. Tim's face was covered in bruises, scrapes and gashes. She couldn't even begin to describe the pain she felt at the site of him. She slowly made her way over to him and took the vacant chair. Calleigh hesitated but took her hand in his. "I love you...you gotta know that. I love you so much."

Calleigh stood in the layout room looking at the crime scene photos. "You shouldn't torture yourself with these." said Horatio as he took them down.

Calleigh sighed. "What if he doesn't wake up?"

"He will Cal...Speed's a strong man. He'll make it."

Calleigh sighed and looked at the lab table. "Horatio for once in my life i'm happy...why'd that have to get taken away from me?"

"Look Kevin we know you did it. You know you did it. So why don't you just tell us. Make a confession."

Kevin sighed but just sat there. "Alright look." said Calleigh getting very frustrated. "You will be going to jail for driving under the influence...murder 1 for killing your friend. And depending on if detective Speedle malkes it or not...if he doesn't you'll get the chair. But if he lives...you'll get 75 years to life."

Kevin still didn't say anything but just sat there. Calleigh sighed and walked over and grabbed the case file from Horatio's hand. She sat it on the table and pulled out a picture of Tim's car, then his car, his friend lying on the atuopsy table, and a picture of Tim before the car accident.

"This is a picture of Detective Speedle before you decided to drive drunk. And that's me sitting next to him. That's his nest friend Eric Delko...our coroner and our lt." Kevin looked out the window. "LOOK AT HIM!" yelled Calleigh. Kevin starred at the picture. "Look at him there...and look at him now." said Calleigh as she pulled out another picture of Tim lying in the hospital bed. "Look at what you did to him." Calleigh choked out. "How can you live with yourself."

Kevin sighed and looked Calleigh in the face for the first time. "I didn't mean to."

"You didn't mean to?" asked Eric. "How does someone not mean to drive drunk?"

"My whole life I have been known as the teacher's pet...Kevin the goodie goodie Goodman. My whole life I 've wanted to make something of myself."

"So you thought that you would get drunk to do so."

Kevin sighed and shook his head. "I just wanted to be one of the cool kids...I gave into peer pressure."

"Still Kevin...you made a huge mistake. And now you''ll have to pay for that." started Calleigh. "I hope for the time that your in jail...you look at this face." said Calleigh as she pointed to Tim and then to James. "Knowing that they got you there." Calleigh shook her head. "All because you wanted to be cool." Calleigh laughed nervously and walked out.

PRESENT---

"Come on Tim...you can do it."

Tim's face became pained expressioned. "I can't. It hurts to bad."

"Tim you have to work your muscles out if not...you'll be in a wheelchair for the rest of your life."

"WHAT DOES IT MATTER?" screamed Tim making Calleigh and Eric walk into the room.

"Tim...honey what's a matter?"

"I can't do it!" said Tim as he lost his balance and fell on the floor. "DAMN IT!"

Calleigh went to help Zack help Tim up but he pulled his arms away from them. "Just leave me alone. I'll do it myself."

"Tim..." said Zach.

"No damn it. You wanted me to walk and do things on my own you got it."

"Speedle...man come on." started Eric.

"Delko...stay out of it ok...Just stay out of it." Tim turned his body around and locked the wheelchair in place. He used the arm rests to grab onto and tried to pull himself up. Tim struggled for a few minutes before he rested his head in the seat. Calleigh looked at Eric who gave her a sympathetic smile. She then looked over at Zack who held up his hand to stop her from going to him. He just needed a few minutes. Trying to walk all over again at the age of 33 was a hard thing to do. Calleigh could only imagine what it was like for him.

Calleigh glanced down at the floor but quickly looked up when she heared a cry coming in from Tim's direction. Calleigh wanted to brake down completely. She had only seen him cry once before in the time she had known him. But this situation was different. Calleigh ignored Zack's facial expression that was telling her to stay put and walked over to him. Calleigh put a hand on his shoulder and she was suprised when he didn't shove it away.

"I can't do this anymore Calleigh." Tim said through tears.

"Baby yes you can."

Tim shook his head and kept his face down in the seat of the wheelchair. "I...I...can't...Cal what's the point...I'm going to be crippled for the rest of my life."

Calleigh shook her head and pulled up Tim's head to make him look at her. "Hey look at me...you are to going to walk again you here me...Tim Speedle you are a fighter...the toughest person I know. Tim you were hit by a drunk driver...thowin from a car your going to need time to heal...you'll walk just give it time."

"Calleigh...its already been a year and I still can't walk...I wasn't even there for-"

"Hey look at me...don't worry about it. Ok...hey...don't..."

Tim sighed but he couldn't control the emotions he was feeling and began to cry again. Calleigh sighed and pulled him close to her rocking him slightly.

"Your going to be ok...I promise."

"I'm so...i'm...so scared." Tim choked out.

"I know...I know." said Calleigh as her own tears fell down her cheeks. "I know."

FLASHBACK-----

Calleigh sighed as Eric, Horatio and herself exited the interrogation room. Horatio went to say something but his cell hpone began to ring. "Caine...yes...yes...ok...thank..thank you."

"Horatio?"

"That was he hospital."

"And?"

"Speed's awake."

S/C S/C S/C S/C S/C

Callegih walked into Tim's room and smiled to see his eyes open. She walked over and sat down next to him. "Hi there." But Calleigh didn't hear a reply. So she tried again. "Tim...honey..." Calleigh still didn't get a reply. Instead she just saw Tim starring off into space.

S/C S/C S/C S/C S/C

"You said you wanted to talk to me doctor." stated Horatio.

Doctor Carter nodded. He took a deep breath and nodded. "He's awake...but he's in a catatonic state. And we don't know if he'll come out of it."

"So basically he's awake but he's not with us."

"Yes."

Horatio nodded. "He came out of the coma he'll come out of this to."

"Lt. I admire your patience. He's been through alot. If he comes out of this...I'd say he's a god given miracle."

Horatio smiled weakly and watched the doctor walk away.

Calleigh sighed lightly. "Tim...sweetheart...can you hear me."

But again Tim just starred off into space. Calleigh sighed and grabbed his hand. Suddenly it was like somebody stuck a knife in him. Speed's body jerked and then relaxed.

"Tim.."

Tim blinked a few times. "Calleigh..." he muttered weakly.

"I'm right here."

"Calleigh...calleigh...calleigh..."

"I"m right here baby its ok i'm right here." said Calleigh as she gripped his hand tighter.

But just continued to look at Calleigh, but it was almost like he didn't see her and just kept saying her name over and over again. Each time he said her name it got louder and louder. "calleigh!"

"Tim sweetheart its ok I'm right here."

"CALLEIGH! Where are you! Calleigh!"

Just as Calleigh went to say something a doctor came rushing in.

"Mr. Speedle...its Doctor Carter...Mr. Speedle I need you to look at me..."

"Calleigh..."

Doctor Carter turned to Calleigh. "I"m going to have to ask you to leave the room."

Tim yelled. "No! Calleigh...don't leave me."

Doctor Carter turned to Tim. His machine started to beep suddenly. "Were loosing him."

"Tim?" said Calleigh breathesly.

"I NEED A CRASH CART IN HERE NOW!" yelled doctor Carter. "Tim...I need you to stay with us ok. Just stay with us."
