Chapter 4

The doctor left the room, leaving Horatio and Calleigh alone again.

Horatio was stood with his hands on his hips, his jacket pulled back, he was stood near the far wall, were he was when the doctor was seeing to Calleigh. He watched the doctor leave and felt himself get nervous as he and Calleigh were once again left alone, but this time he had almost told her, she knew he had wanted and had almost told her something important. She watched him as he gathered his nerves again. e composed himself and made his way over to the bed again. Calleigh lay still, nervousness was taking over her now, she could feel butterflies in her stomach as he approached her.

He reached her bed just as the door opened, Eric, Speed and Alexx came in relieved Calleigh was awake and okay. Horatio smirked at their circumstances. He has had countless occasions to tell her how he felt, but hen he tries to they are intrrupted,twice!.

Calleigh greeted the three new visitors freindly and warmly. They each gently hugged her, minding her wound, and told her how worried they were, and how relieved they all were. Calleigh smiled at their thoughtfulness, and thanked them all. After a while a nurse came in and told them they should leave so Calleigh could rest. Calleigh and Horatio both realised this meant he had to leave too. Eric, Speed and Alexx left saying goodbye to Calleigh. Horatio went over to Calleigh and smiled, he leant down and softly kissed her forehead, she closed her eyes as he did,

'you should get some rest', he told her, Calleigh nodded and smiled, she was feeling a little tired. Horatio looked over at her again as he left, she had snuggled down into the bed and was drifting off to sleep.

Calleigh woke suddenly a few hours later, she sat up sharply then wished she hadn't as a seering pain shot threw her shoulder. Horatio was stood outside her door watching her, he rushed ina s soon as he saw her startle awake. He helped her lay back down, trying to minimise her pain as much as he good. Once she was led down again he decided he would ask her why she sat up so sharply,

'Calleigh', he started softly, 'are you okay?',

'I'm fine Horatio', she told him, trying to reassure him,

'you awoke sharply, are you sure you're okay?', he asked gently, looking down into her eyes and fixing her blankets gently,

'It was just a bad dream, Horatio, that's all', she told him, she smiled lightly as an attempt to get him to relax. He nodded and pulled the chair over to the bed again. He settled down in the chair and gently took hold of Calleigh's hand again.

He softly caressed it woth his thumb as she lay her head back again, but she couldn't fall back asleep. She turned her head to face Horatio who smiled at her, he reached over with his other hand and brushed a stray blonde hair out of her eyes, he followed it with his eyes as it brushed across her lips.

Calleigh felt her heart leap as she saw his eyes watching her lips.

He slowly leant closer to her, watching her eyes for any sign she wanted him to stop, he saw none, he leaned closer, his heat rate quickening, Calleigh could feel her butterflies in her stomach as he got closer.

He was now centimetres away from her, she could feel his breath on her lips.

She looked into his deep, sparkling blue eyes and was instantly lost in them, she could see love and desire swimming in his eyes. He leant closer and closed the distance between them in a passionate and heated first kiss.

A small moan escaped Calleigh's throat as his lps came in contact with her own. She parted her lips so he could deepen the kiss and he did. He entered her mouth with his tongue, exploring, tasting, and enjoying the woman he had been in love with for so long.

They eventually pulled apart for air, Horatio gazed into Calleigh's deep green eyes, and kissed her again. He pressed his lips against hers, softly but passionately. Calleigh kissed him back, using her good arm she reached around him and pulled him closer. He smiled into the kiss and she smiled too. They broke apart and both had huge grins on their faces, Horatio kissed her forehead softly,

'I love you Calleigh', he told her, she smiled and pulled him down to kiss her again,

'I love you too Handsome', she told him back, he grinned and carefully pulled her into a hug.
