-1Confession
"What do you mean?" Calleigh asked Horatio. She was getting worried. "Brace myself?"
"Can I hold Noah?" Alexx randomly asked. Confused, Calleigh handed Noah over to Alexx. It might have been a good thing, because Calleigh was on the brink of slapping the answers out of Horatio, and she couldn't do it with a baby in her arms.
"Now, Horatio, tell me what this is all about," Calleigh said.
"Calleigh, Alexx and I have a confession to make," Horatio said. Alexx looked up from Noah. Horatio looked to Calleigh. "You passed the test."
Calleigh was dumbfounded, and getting angry. "What do you mean test!" she snapped. "Horatio, I just lost Ryan and here you are playing stupid games with me! Who do you think I am!"
"Calleigh, this wasn't a game," Horatio said, taking a few steps back. "It was about Ryan."
"Oh, that makes me feel a whole lot better!" Calleigh snapped again. She was starting to cry again. Why are they doing this to me!
"It wasn't hard to see how you were treating Ryan," Horatio said, his tone a lot more serious than it had been several moments before. "You treated him like crap."
Calleigh suddenly started sobbing and she crumpled into the chair. "I KNOW that!" Natalia ran over to her and put an arm around her. "Why are you doing this to me?" Calleigh said as she sobbed into Natalia's shoulder.
"Because, it's over now, and you don't have to cry anymore," Horatio said.
"Not cry anymore!" Calleigh looked at Horatio through tears. "Horatio…"
"We made a test to see how much you really loved Ryan," Horatio interrupted. "And, well, you passed. We saw how you reacted in the morgue, and we decided it was worth the trouble. Alexx and I planned it, and a couple other people are letting the rest of the lab know.."
"Know what?" Calleigh finally looked up to Horatio.
"About me," a familiar sounding voice said. Calleigh looked to the door to see who was there.
"Oh my god," Calleigh said. She stood up and stared at him. She couldn't believe it.
"Hi," he said. He stepped closer to her.
Calleigh stared for a moment before she got the words to come out. "It's…it's really you."
"Yep, it's me. I'm ok."
"Ryan…"
Dun dun dun! Surprise surprise! What did I tell ya! Now I can't get yelled at for killing Ryan, cause he ain't dead! Ta-da! Review when it feels necessary.
