Randomwriting: I have every intention of making this chapter strictly about a nice quiet evening among husband and wife...or do I? Teehee. I guess you'll just have to read and find out.
Author's Note: Again thanks for reading you guys. Reviews make me happy, good or bad send them my way it makes me feel special.
Author's Note 2: Some maybe wondering what Patrick and Elizabeth Speedle look like...so whenever I do a fic with his parent in it I always imagine them as in the episode Lost Son when we saw them at Tim's funeral. (which by the way i still firmly believe DIDN'T happen, so yeah take that Donahue!)
Tim kissed each of his girls on the forehead as his parents made there way to the front door. "Are you sure you wanna do this ma? I mean two baby girls at one time might be a challenge."
"Why Timmy are you implying that i'm old?"
"Nooo, not at all." said Tim with a smirk.
"Timmy, I raised 6 childern. And they've all grown up to be wonderful people."
"They'll be fine in our hands." said Patrick Speedle as he opened the door and motioned Elizabeth out. "You two have fun now, don't do anything I wouldn't."
Tim laughed slightly and locked the door behind his parents, he turned around to find Calleigh starring lovingly at him. He walked over to her and wrapped his arms around.
"So, no parents, no annoying little brother, the kiddies are gone, whatever shall we do mister Speedle?"
"Well, I was thinking dinner, a movie, and if it just so happens to lead into activties in the bedroom so be it."
Calleigh smiled and kissed Tim lightly. "Love you."
Tim stroked her cheek lightly. "Love ya to." said Tim with his whole heart. It was the truth he did love Calleigh more then anything, well other then the girls. He would give up everything and he'd do anything to make sure that she was happy and safe. "Before we get this evening started will you do me one favor first?"
"I'd do anything for you."

Tim sighed slightly as he crouched down onto his knee's. Calleigh stood a few feet away to give him space. He needed to do this alone. And that's what she intended on letting him do unless he asked for help. "Hey man." said Tim softly as he placed the carnations into the small whole in front of the grave. "I know you would have thought that flowers is corny to give a guy, but hey what are you going to do about it?" Tim looked over at Calleigh who smiled slightly as she watched her husband. He was a very strong man. He was from New York he had to be strong in order to survive. But to Calleigh there was alot more to him, that he didn't really let other people see. Calleigh figured she was the only one he let in. And sometimes she was thankful for that. But other times she hated being the only one who knew how his mind worked.
"That's Calleigh, my wife. I have two little girls who are about to turn one soon. I think you wouldn've gotten a kick out of them, there so cute. But Olivia's a little screamer. But of course knowing you you'd make fun of me because you always said I'd never settle down. Well I did." Tim paused for a long time and Calleigh debated whether or not to go over there or not, she closed her eyes tightly when she saw the all two familiar tears run down his cheeks. "Thanks to you. You gave me the chance to have a family, to raise children, to have that family that no guy at our age even wanted to think about. So I have to thank you for that."
FLASHBACK--- (When TIm was 18 years old)
Tim picked up a rock off the street and through it. He looked over at his friend as he heared his name. "Tim!"
"Hey Ricky, what took you so long."
Ricky shurgged. "Well you know mom's."
Tim nodded and laughed a little as he thought of his own mother who made sure he had on two layers of clothing and scarves wrapped around his body before heading out in the New York weather. Tim jumped slightly when Ricky threw him the baseball. "So you still wanting to be a cop?" asked Tim as he threw the ball to his friend.
"Yeah, I do." Ricky stopped when Tim started to laugh. "What's so funny?"
Tim shrugged. "Nothing, its just I don't think you'll be able to make it through the academy."
"Oh yeah and like you would?" said Ricky as he threw the ball a little harder this time.
"Well i'm stubborn and I got a low tolernce of pain. I think I can handle."
"Yeah you got that right, your stubborn and got a temper like an irish men. You'll be lucky if you ever find someone who wants to be your boss."
"Well you'll see." said Tim as he threw the ball back to his friend. "I'll find a boss who will put up with me. You'll see."
"Yeah, ok. I bet you he'll just have to push you infront of a bullet to get rid of you."
Tim caught the ball in his glove. "That's not funny." Ricky laughed and looked over past Tim's shoulder. A man wearing all black walked over to them.
"GIVE ME ALL YOUR MONEY!" Tim and Ricky held up there hands.
"Hey." said Tim slowly. "We don't have any money man. Were just throwing the ball around."
"Then...then give me your watches." Tim and Ricky did as told and handed the man their watches.
"You know what?" said Tim as he reached into the back of his jeans.
"KEEP YOUR HANDS WHERE I CAN SEE THEM!"
But Tim ignored him and reached for his wallet in his back pocket. "Hang on I think I may have a twenty in here somewhere." The man raised his gun and aimed it at Tim. Ricky saw this and pushed his best friend out of the way just as the gun went off.
"Shit!" The man ran off down the alley leaving Tim with Ricky's weight on top of him. Weight that would be there for the rest of his life. Because he was to stupid in a high pressure situation.
"Ricky! Ricky." Tim managed to roll over so that Ricky's back was to the ground. "Hey, Ricky man, you ok?"
Ricky gasped for air and clutched his best friend's shoulder. "...Tim."
Tim looked over at the snow on the ground that was now red from the gun shot wound his friend had suddenly got. "Ricky...alright man your gonna be fine. I NEED SOME HELP OUT HERE! Ricky man stay with me ok. I NEED AN AMBULANCE! SOMEONE! PLEASE! SOMEONE HELP ME!" Tim looked back down at Ricky who's eyes where closing slowly. "Ricky come on man, don't do this to me! Come on stay awake. I NEED AN AMBULANCE!"
END FLASHBACK----
Tim wiped the tears from his eyes and then placed his hand on the head stone. "Bye man." Tim stood up and brushed the snow from his knees and walked slowly over to Calleigh who looked up at him with tear rimmed eyes.
"You ok, baby?"
Tim nodded and pulled her to him as they walked back to the car. "Yeah, i'll be fine. Let's just get back to my parents place ok?"
Calleigh nodded and walked with her husband to the car. She wasn't for sure what happend to his best friend when they were in high school, but assumed that Tim would tell her when he was good and ready.
TBC...OK so the romantic stuff happens in the next chapter.
