As the months went by Tim got stronger and Calleigh got bigger. Eric laughed as Calleigh tried to get out of her chair in the ballistics lab. "You know its not nice to laugh at someone."

Eric chuckled. "You want some help?"

Calleigh put on her famous smile. "Would you mind?"

Eric shook his head and helped her up. "See...that wasn't so hard diver man was it?"

Eric smiled. "I'm proud of you Calleigh."

"Why?"

"Beacuse there aren't to many women who'd stick by a guy who's paralized."

"Well Tim's just special I guess." started Calleigh. "Hey Valera treats you just fine."

Eric rolled his eyes. "Yeah, right. My fiance doesn't feed me."

Calleigh glared at Eric. "Ok...ok...so I baby him to death. I get your point."

Tim smiled as Calleigh walked into his hospital room. "Knock knock."

"Hey you." said Tim as Calleigh leaned over and kissed him lightly on the forehead. Tim put his hand on Calleigh's belly. "Hi baby."

"She's been kicking all morning. Driving me nuts."

Tim smiled. "Well that's a Speedle for you."

Calleigh smiled and looked up at the t.v. Tim had on. "Watcha watchin?"

"Some kind of soap opera or drama or something like that."

Calleigh eyed him. "I had lunch with Alexx." Tim replied defensively.

"Nice cover babe."

"Well there's nothing else on."

Calleigh laughed lightly. "Seriously Cal...I mean is Maria dead...is she not...is her husband Edmond dead is he not? Is Ryan dead is he not? I mean honestly its stupid."

Calleigh smiled and ran her hands through his hair. "Then...don't watch it." said Calleigh as she turned off the t.v.

"Mmm...I like the way you think."

Calleigh smiled and met Tim halfway for a kiss. Tim forgot for a split second that he couldn't move anything below his waist and tried to shift in the bed. "Ow!"

Calleigh gaped. "Oh baby are you ok?"

Tim winced in pain. "Yeah I'm fine."

"Tim...?"

"Calleigh I said i'm fine ok...just...stop babying me ok."

Calleigh backed off slightly. "Ok...fine...i'm going to head back to the lab. I um...have to sign some papers before I can go on leave. I'll come by later. When its...more convient for you."

"Calleigh...wait."

"Bye Tim. I love you."

Tim sighed as he watched Calleigh walk out the door.

PRESENT---

Tim took a deep breath as Eric helped Horatio postion Tim better in his wheelchair after getting him out of the van. "You good man?"

Tim nodded. "Thanks Delko."

Eric smirked and clapped him on the shoulder. "Anytime."

Gracie squealed as she saw her father. "Dadda dadda dadda."

Tim smiled. "Hi sugarpie."

Gracie smiled from ear to ear. "Come here." Tim kissed her on her forehead as Calleigh sat her in his lap. "How are you today?"

Gracie just smiled and shook her head. "Ok fine...only dadda for now."

Gracie clung onto Tim as Calleigh wheeled him into the court house.

"Jury have you reached a verdict?" asked Judge Ringer.

A women nodded. "We have your honor."

"Then how do you plea?"

Ms. Kellmer smiled over at Tim who looked at her worridely. "We the people find Kevin Goodman guilty of driving under the influence."

Judge Ringer nodded. "And for man 1?"

"Guilty."

"And for attempted murder?"

"Guilty."

Judge Ringer nodded. "Thank you people of the Jury. Officer. Please show Mr. Goodman to his jail cell."

Kevin stood up. "This is crazy...your going to send me to jail for the rest of my life...for what? For taking a few drinks?"

Calleigh looked up and handed Gracie to Alexx and walked over to Kevin. "Ms. Duquesne." warned Judge Ringer.

"A few drinks Kevin?"

Kevin sighed and looked at her with hatred in her eyes. "You were five times over the legal limit. Plus you were underage. You killed your best friend. And look..." said Calleigh as she pointed to Tim. "Look what you did to him."

Kevin looked over at Tim and smirked, knowing what was coming. "HE'S A CRIPPLED!" screamed Calleigh. Calleigh quickly realized what she sad and closed her eyes tightly. Kevin smirked and let the guard take him away. Jail had seriously changed him. And not for the better. Calleigh sighed and looked over at Tim who had tears in his eyes. "Tim...I..."

Tim shook his head and wheeled himself over to her. "I get it Calleigh. I'm a pain. I told you anytime-"

"NO Tim... its not that." Calleigh sobbed.

Tim shook his head. "Anytime you wanted to leave me you could. I'd perfectly understand. I maybe in a wheelchair right now. But that could change someday. But one thing that will never change is the fact how much I love you and Gracie. You guys are my whole world. The only thing that kept me alive. Just...remember that I love you. No matter if i'm in a wheelchair or not."

Calleigh sighed as tears poured her out of her eyes. "I'll see you around Cal." said Tim as he turned his chair around and wheeled himself out of the courtroom.

"Tim...wait."

Eric walked up to her. "Let him go Calleigh."

"I didn't mean for it to sound the way It did."

"I know that. And he knows to."

Calleigh wiped the tears from her eyes. "He's so worried about me leaving him. I'm more worried about him leaving me."

Calleigh shook her head and walked out of the court room as well.

FLASHBACK----

"Push Calleigh."

"I can't."

"Honey you have to." said Alexx. Since Tim wasn't able to be in the delivery room. Calleigh had asked Alexx to step in. Luckily she agreed.

Tim fidgeted in his bed nervously.

"Speedle...everything's going to be fine."

Tim sighed. "Why do I feel like its not."

"Because your a pessimist."

Tim glared at him and flipped through the channels.

Tim looked up as the door opened several hours later. Calleigh had rested and was up to making the trip a few floors down to physical therapy.

"Hey yankee."

Tim smiled as he saw the little pink bundle in her arms. "Is this..."

Calleigh nodded through tears. "Tim...i'd like you to met Gracie Lynn Speedle."

Tim smiled up at Calleigh. "Can I hold her?"

Calleigh nodded and handed Gracie over to Tim. "She's beautiful."

PRESENT----

Eric walked into the restroom were he found Tim with his head on the sink. "Hey man you ok?"

"Yeah I'm fine."

Eric sighed and squatted down next to his friend. His best friend. "Hey he's going away for life. He's not going to be able to hurt anyone else."

Tim looked at Eric. And for the first time Eric saw his friend cry. "Doesn't matter...doesn't change the fact what he did to me. Calleigh's right. I am a crippled."

Eric shook his head. "No your not."

"ARE YOU BLIND ERIC!" screamed Tim. "LOOK AT ME!"

"Tim.-"

"I'M CONFINED TO A WHEELCHAIR! I have a little girl who i'm never going to get to do things with. Because i'm stuck in this thing. I have a fiance I'm never going to be able to walk down the aisle with, because of this thing. I can't go back to work. I can't even get up to go to the bathroom by myself. I mean do you know how that feels?"

Eric shook his head. "No I don't...but if you keep on believing that you can't do it. Then's that's exactly what's going to happen."
