Author's Note: I just wanted to say thank you very much for all my reviews. They are truly what keeps me writting.

Dybdahl- I just wanted to say thank you for reading the miami stories. And yes Tim is a cutie. With his...his..stubbly wubbly and his chipmunck cheeks and his dress shirts and his jeans and...you know what...i'm going to stop talking now.

Anywho...on with the show!

TALLEIGH FOREVER

Tim stopped for a minute and looked at Calleigh to make sure that she was ok. Calleigh looked at the floor and then at Livvy. "Go on..."

Tim nodded and continued.

FLASHBACK-----

"You sure your ok?"

Calleigh nodded. "All he wanted was to go get coffee. I went to go put the evidence away and he shot himself."

"I know...it wasn't your fault."

Tim watched as Calleigh let out a shaky sigh. "I just want to go home. To you and Livvy."

Tim nodded. "Ok...let's go."

TALLEIGH FOREVER

"Good morning."

Calleigh smiled. "Good morning..."

"Last night was great as always."

Calleigh smiled sheepishly. "I uh...didn't think we were going to make it home."

"Well hey i'm always up for a little fun in the lab."

"Tim..."

"Well..."

Calleigh laughed and kissed Tim on the cheek. "I"m going to go make breakfast...what do you want?"

"Chocolate chip pancakes."

Calleigh shook her head. "You know you'd eat those everyday if I let you."

Tim smiled. "Well I can't help it...I love pancakes."

Calleigh smiled. "You go pick up Livvy from Eric and Val's and I'll make breakfast."

"Well I don't see why they can't bring her here...I mean they do live a whole what...5 houses down. I swear that guy follows me everywhere."

"Honey...your his best friend...he loves you."

"Yeah but...-"

"Admit it Tim...you love him to."

"Were guys Cal...we don't love eachother."

"You know what I mean."

Tim sighed. "Alright fine...he's my best friend and if anything were to ever happen to him I'd cry my eyes. Happy?"

Calleigh eyed him. "I didn't ask for you to be sarcastic."

PRESENT----

"That's it?" asked Livvy with the famous Speedle expression on her face.

"Yup that's it."

"No its not." started Calleigh. "Tim you left out everything...the flowers...the whooing-"

"The whooing?"

"Yes Tim the whooing."

"Mommy tell your side."

"Ok..." said Calleigh as she picked Livvy up and sat her on her lap. "Let's see were do we start?"

FLASHBACK---

Calleigh walked into the crime lab. "Wow! This place is huge."

"Can I help you?" asked the recptionist at the front desk.

"Yes hi i'm uh...Calleigh Duquesne..CSI...I got transfered here."

"Who's your suprivisior?"

"Horatio Caine..."

"Ok...take the elevator up to more floors. When you come out of it make a left, then a right, go down the hall and you'll see a sign the says trace lab. Once you get in there make a left the stairs to your left will lead to his office."

"Thank you very much."

"Sure."

TALLEIGH FOREVER

Calleigh was coming out of Horatio's office when she saw a scruffy but very handsome man sitting at one of the lab tables.

"Hi...I'm Calleigh Duquesne."

"Tim Speedle...trace."

"Its very nice to meet you."

"Yeah...same here."

Calleigh watched the man as he quickly went back to work. "It's a shame about Megan...her husband...from what I hear they were really in love."

"Yeah...they were."

"That's one reason why I don't want to get married."

"Why's that?"

"Because they could die. And I don't think I could handle that."

"Well...I got news for your Brittany everyone dies."

Calleigh starred at this Tim Speedle with disgust. "Mine name's Calleigh."

"Sorry...my mistake."

"You know what...your an ass. I was just trying to make conversation."

"Well i'm busy..."

Calleigh smiled through gritted teeth and headed for the door. "Yankee!"

TALLEIGH FOREVER

Calleigh had only been working there a few months and she loved it. Everybody was great. Well almost everybody. That Tim Speedle just realyl got under her skin. If he wasn't making some sarcastic comment he was lauging it up with Delko. Don't get Calleigh wrong Eric was a very nice man. It just made her wonder why he wouldbe friends with the likes of Tim Speedle.

Calleigh sighed as she came out of her VW. 'Great' thougth Calleigh to herself as she saw who she was working with. Calleigh put on a fake smile and walked over to Tim "Tim...hey."

"Hey Calleigh.."

"So do you know what we got?"

Tim shook his head. "No...Alexx isn't here yet. But by the looks of it. Our girl was strangled, beaten and this isn't our primary crime scene."

"How can you tell?"

"She has double livity."

"So were ever she was killed she was lying there for awhile and then picked up and dumped here."

Tim nodded. Calleigh watched as she saw Tim look at the victim with sadness in his eyes. "How old would you say she is?"

Calleigh tore her eyes away Tim and looked at the vic for the first time. "12..maybe 14 at the most."

Tim nodded. "When's it going to be enough?"

"You ok?"

Tim nodded. "Yeah...i'm fine."
