Author's Note: Sorry but I might not update in awhile my mom's been really really sick and was put in the hospital the other day.

A Christmas Miracle

Tim ran gel through his hair as he looked at himself in the bathroom mirror. He sighed and began to button up his black shirt. Sure black wasn't christmasie...but he's Tim Speedle he can do whatever he wants. Tim made a defeated sigh. "Alexx would kill me if I wore black." He made his way through his bathroom and into his room. He walked into his closet and pulled out the red button up shirt he rarely wore. "Guess it now or never."

A Christmas Miracle

Calleigh sighed as she smoothed out her black dress and smiled to herself in the mirror. Calleigh noticed that her cat had jumped up on the sink and picked her up. "Well hello there Bella." said Calleigh in a baby voice. "How should momma wear her hair? Mmmm? Up? Down? Curly?" Bella made a loud purring noise. "OK Curly it is."

A Christmas Miracle

"So what exactly is your plan of action baby?" asked Alexx as she she made the Y insecion into the 5 year old's body.

"Well you have egg nog right?"

"Yes, Sam's bringing it. Why?"

"You just make sure the egg nog's there and nobody else touches it."

"Eric your not going to drug it are you?"

"Me...drug two people who are absoultley head over heels in love with eachother but there just to wrapped up into forensics to see it...never." Alexx gave him a look and he smirked. "Just...leave it to me."

"Alright...but if you screw this up your going to be next on my table."

"You know that's twice you've said that to me...maybe I should listen to you."

"But you won't."

"You know me so well."

Alexx smiled as she watched Eric walk out of the room. "Looks like its just you and me now baby." Lexx smiled and she fingered the little girl's pigtails. "Merry Christmas baby."

A Christmas Miracle

"Eric baby can you put this up there for me?"

"Is this because i'm tall?" Alexx gave him one of her looks. "Alright alright fine." Eric let out a sigh after he hung up the misteltoe. "Uh...Alexx you know what were standing under?" Alexx looked up.

"Sorry baby...I'm married. But if I wasn't..." Alexx crinkled her noise and exhaled loudly making Eric laugh just as the door bell rang.

Alexx reached over and opened the door. "Calleigh baby...first to arrive as always."

"Well...my momma always did use to say "to be on time is to be early"."

Alexx smiled. "You look gorgeous honey."

"Thanks Alexx." said Calleigh with a smile on her face that could melt your heart.

A Christmas Miracle

Calleigh was in the kitchen taking the ham out of the oven for Alexx when the door bell rang once again. "Oh, I'll get it." said Calleigh. Alexx nodded and looked over at Eric.

"Well Horatio, Sam, Valera, Frank, Tyler and Peters are already here so I guess that leaves Timmy?"

"Let the games begin."

A Christmas Miracle

Calleigh smiled slightly to herself as she opened the door. Her smiles widened once she saw who it was. "Tim...hey."

"Hey Cal...i'm the last one here once again arn't I?"

"Yup...but hey don't worry about it. Its like a Christmas tradition with you." Tim starred at her. "Sorry."

"Its ok."

"So can I take your jacket?" Tim nodded and handed it to Calleigh who hung it up in the closet. Tim watched her carefully as she hung it up. He let out a sigh. Why did he have to be so stubborn when it came to love. Yeah sure he could find any key piece of evidence and find the criminal and lock him away for years but when it came to telling Calleigh Duquense how he felt about her forget. Calleigh nudged him lightly.

"You ok Yankee you seemed...far away."

"Oh yeah...fine."

Calleigh smiled and led him to the kitchen to met up with Alexx. "Well look who decided to drop by." said Alexx.

"I know I know I'm late. Sorry."

"No need to apologize baby your here...and now I won't have to kill you."

"Thanks Alexx." Eric thought he should probably get the party started and handed Tim a cup of egg nog.

"Here man."

"Thanks..." Tim was about to take a drink when he smelled the glass instead. "You didn't like drug this did you?"

Alexx's eyes widened and looked at Eric who suddenly began to get uncomfortable."Me...drug you..never."

Tim laughed and hit Eric on the shoulder lightly. "Chill out man you act like you've just went into a meeting with Stetler." Tim shook his head and took a drink.

"That's cute." said Eric.

"Well I aim to please."

A Christmas Miracle

As the hours went by Eric and Alexx each took turns giving Tim and Calleigh glasses of Egg nog. "What did you put in these anyways?" asked Alexx.

"Well alochol."

"Be more specific."

"Whiskey. That's the only thing I know of that gets Speed drunk. I swear that man could drink all the alcohol in the world and not get drunk. Except for whiskey."

"And if you think you get Timmy drunk it will make him loosen up and tell Calleigh?"

"I sure hope so." said Eric as he took a drink of his beer. "Where are they anyway?"

A Christmas Miracle

Tim watched as Calleigh leaned against the back porch. "What's it like?" asked Calleigh as she looked up at the stars.

"What's what like?"

"The snow...I mean i've seen snow before but nothing like up in New York."

"Well its white, wet, and cold just like it always is Cal."

Calleigh glared at him. "I was just asking. You must have had alot of fun with your brothers in the winter."

"Yeah...I guess."

Calleigh sighed and set her glass down. "Would you take me there sometime?"

Tim stopped for a second. Was Calleigh asking him to take her to New York? Why would she ask that? Did she like him?

"To New York?"

"Yeah."

Tim paused before asking and obviously Calleigh noticed this. "I mean you don't have to if you don't want to I just thought that..."

"I'd love to." Calleigh smiled and looked at Tim. Was it just him or was she getting closer?

"You know...i've liked you for a really really long time."

"You have?"

"Mmmhmm..."

"Why didn't you say anything?"

"I don't...I'm just stupid I guess." said Calleigh as she lost her balance. Tim quickly picked her up before she hit the ground.

"Your not stupid." Calleigh smiled once again. She didn't know what it was but she wasn't acting herself.

Tim leaned down and Calleigh had to try her hardest to stand on her tip toes. 'Great the one day I decide not to wear heels.' Tim was just inches from her face when Sam broke the moment.

"Dinners ready you guys."

Calleigh pulled away from Tim. "Alright were coming."

Calleigh looked at Tim and then to the floor. "I guess we should get inside then?" Tim nodded and followed Calleigh into the house.
