Calleigh shifted slightly and debated whether or not to open her eyes. Until...she felt something that felt familiar but unusual. Calleigh forced her eyes open and looked Tim right in the eye.

"Hi."

"Hi."

Tim smiled and kissed Calleigh on the cheek. "Thank you."

"For what?"

"For being there."

Calleigh smiled. "I gotta get Gracie off to day care and then I'll come back pick you up for therapy ok?"

Tim nodded. "Ok...i'm gonna try and get a few more minutes of sleep ok?"

Calleigh smiled. "Sleep away."

Tim nodded and settled back into the pillow.

Tim made sure that Calleigh was completley out of the house before he got out of bed. Tim pulled his legs over the bed, took a few deep breaths and grabbed ahold of the nightstand for support. "Alright Speed...its now or never." Tim closed his eyes stood up slowly.

Do Do Do Do Doooo
Do Do Do Do Doooo

Do Do Do Do Doooo
Do Do Do Do Doooo

He wabbled for a minute and then he slowly let go off the table. But it was no use he lost his balance and fell to the floor. TIm groaned in frustration. He was going to walk again if it killed him. Tim turned his body and grabbed ahold of the sheets on the bed. "Alright...lets try this again."

Do Do Do Do Doooo
Do Do Do Do Doooo

Do Do Do Do Doooo

Tim didn't know how long he stood there. But when he heared a gasp he fell back onto the bed. "Are you crazy?" screamed Calleigh as she ran into the bedroom. "Are you trying to hurt yourself."

"No." replied Tim sarcastically.

"A few more minutes of sleep my ass."

"Calleigh..."

"No Tim. You walk with Zack until told otherwise. Got it?"

Tim sighed. "What are you going to act like my mother now. Trust me I get that enough from my Alexx. I don't need it from you to."

This is no time to hide all my witness
Without you, it would never be the same
I still find a ?
Still walkin' on my own
And nothin' else matters cuz I..

Calleigh sighed. "Tim...look. Let's just finish getting you dressed and over to your therapy session alright. I don't have time to argue with you right now."

FLASHBACK---

Maria Speedle held her breath as she walked into her son's hospital room. "Oh Timmy...this shouldn't have happend to you."

Tim fidgeted slightly as he felt his mother grab his hand. "Mom?" asked Tim groggily.

"Shhhh...go back to sleep."

"Where's dad?"

"He uh..."

"He didn't come did he?"

"No he did."

"Then were is he?"

"He's taking care of a personal matter. How are you feeling?"

Tim rolled his eyes as he reached for his glass of water. "Here let me do that for you."

"Mom...I'm paralized from the waist down. Not from the waist up. I can get my own glass of water."

PRESENT---

"So Calleigh tells me you tried to walk on your own today?" Tim rolled his eyes. "Speedle what were you thinking?"

"I was thinking about how i'm supposed to get married in 5 months to the most beautiful women I have ever met in my life. And how I have a almost 2 year old daughter who asks if she hurt her daddy just because she sat on his lap. Ok. Zack, that's what I was thinking."

"How are you feeling?"

"What are you my union shrink?"

"No i'm just a friend."

Tim sighed but answered the question anyways. "I feel tired. Angry. Confused. Depressed. Worthless. Anything else you wanna know?"

Zack eyed Tim. "Have you talked to your union shrink?"

"No."

"Well maybe you should."

"Well maybe I don't want to."

"Tim...its common for people who go through a trageic even-"

"Don't even finish that sentence." said Tim angrily. "You don't know what trageic is. You think what I went through is trageic? I have seen people hung from trees...little girl drawn into bathrooms by cotton candy...i've seen police officers get shot in the head. I've seen people's bodies expand to the size of a 300 pound person. You don't know what trageic is."

"I'm sorry...I didn't know."

"Yeah well...there's alot you don't know."

Tim sighed as the elevator dinged opening him up to the lab that he missed. Tim took a double take as he saw the new look. Paula looked up from the desk. "Tim...hey."

"Hey Paula."

"How uh...how did you get here?"

"Taxi...no uh...Zack brought me here. My physical therapist. He's waiting outside. I just wanted to stop by and say hi." Paula nodded as Tim looked around. "When Calleigh said remodel...I thought like new tile or something not like the whole lab."

Paula smiled. "Yeah I don't like it either."

Tim smirked. "See ya later Paula."

"Where ya goin?"

"To see a lab about a women."

Paula laughed knowing all to well what he was talking about.

Tim smiled as he opened the door to ballistics and saw Calleigh firing away.

I need your love
I need your love
(And nothin' else matters cuz I..)
I need your love
I need your love
(And nothin' else matters cuz I..)

Calleigh sighed as she heared the familiar gun click, indicating that her magizine was empty. She took off her goggles and earmuffs and turned around. "Tim...crazy what are you doing here?"

"I wanted to come by and make sure that you were ok."

Calleigh smiled. "I'm fine."

"Good because there's something I need to show you."

Calleigh's heart began to beat faster as Zack helped him out of his wheelchair. "Tim..."

"Cal...just stay there ok."

Calleigh nodded. Tim took a deep breath and moved his right leg, then his left, and his right again. Calleigh looked up at Tim with tears in her eyes. He wasn't walking very far...but it was a start. "Tim."

Tim looked up at her and smiled. "I told you I would walk again. Its not much but-" Tim was cut off by Calleigh's lips on hers. "Its a start."

"Its perfect."
