The plane landed and with Ryan on crutches, they headed out to the waiting Hummer. As they drove through the familiar streets of Miami, Calleigh sighed, leaning against Ryan. "It's so good to be home," she said.

Horatio smiled and continued to drive.

Just as they turned onto his street, Horatio called Belle.

"Hey Dad, what's up?" she asked after answering on the third ring.

"Hi Belle," he said, the warmth in his voice evident, "I'm just about a block away. Will you have the kids on the front porch when I get there? Tell them I brought them a surprise that they are really going to like."

"I will," Belle promised, "See you in a few minutes then."

"Bye Belle" he said before hanging up the phone.

Turning to the passengers in the backseat of the Hummer, he said, "Almost there. The kids are waiting for us." Both Wolfes smiled in anticipation.

As they pulled into the driveway, Horatio saw all three kids waiting for him on the porch. Josh was sitting on the step, with Emily standing just to his right. Belle was holding Kelsi on her hip and she smiled when she saw her father.

Horatio stepped out of the car and walked to the porch, where he was greeted with hugs from his family. Calleigh and Ryan watched the scene through the Hummer's heavily tinted windows, aching to hold their children again.

"What did you bring us?" Kelsi asked as Horatio hugged her.

Horatio smiled and put Kelsi back on the ground. He walked over to the Hummer and opened the back door. "How's this?" he asked offering a hand to Calleigh who took it and stepped out of the car.

"Mommy!" Kelsi and Emily squealed at the same time, running towards their mother.

Calleigh met them halfway, tears pouring down her face as she hugged her children close to her. Josh stood there, stunned for a moment before joining his sisters and mother. "Mom," he choked through tears as she held him tightly.

"You're all okay," Calleigh said through her tears, looking over her children and holding them close as if they were going to disappear. "I missed you so much! I love you so much!" she kept repeating smiling through her tears as she kissed each of her children.

Horatio and Belle stood a little ways off from the group. Belle's eyes were shining with tears as she watch this precious moment and Horatio met her eyes with a soft smile. She grinned at her father, knowing this moment was only about to get better.

"I've got one more surprise for you," Horatio said, going to the other side of the Hummer as all eyes turned to follow him. He opened the door and smiled at Ryan who could not yet be seen by his family. Ryan grinned back at him, his eyes already a little misty from watching the reunion. Horatio helped him out of the car and onto his crutches. Ryan hobbled around the car and when his children saw him they couldn't believe their eyes.

"Dad?" Josh asked in disbelief as his father made his way towards the group.

Josh met him and Ryan enveloped his only son in a strong embrace.

"Daddy!" he heard his two little girls cry out as they ran to him and latched onto him. He held them close and cried with them as he saw their smiling faces; a sight he never thought he would ever seen again. Calleigh joined her family and they all held onto one another for a very long time; laughing and crying all at once in a joyous reunion.

Horatio, his part now played, walked over to his own daughter and gave her a warm hug.

"They're finally home," she said, almost in disbelief.

"Yes they are," Horatio said, kissing the top of his daughter's head as a few happy tears ran down his face.

EPILOGUE

It had been two weeks since Ryan and Calleigh had been reunited with their family and things were almost back to normal now. The day after they arrived, Horatio had transferred guardianship of the kids back to Calleigh and Ryan and had helped the Wolfes move back into their own house. The kids were happy again and they spent as much time as a family as they could.

Calleigh was back at work, and although she couldn't test fire any weapons because of her wrist, she was happy doing other lab work. Ryan wasn't allowed to return to work until the cast came off his leg, but he was using his spare time to play with the kids and catch up on some paper work.

At the end of a long day, Calleigh came into Horatio's office to deliver the results of some ballistics test she had been working on. He was on the phone when she went in, but he motioned for her to take a seat while he finished. She did so and looked around his office as she waited. A picture on the shelf next to his desk caught her eye and she stood to get a closer look.

It was a picture of Horatio and the girls in the kitchen. Emily was standing on a stool next to him and Kelsi was kneeling on the counter, her fingers wrapped around a wooden spoon as Horatio helped her stir something in a large bowl. All three had streaks of flour on their faces and smiles as they worked on the batter.

Calleigh fingered the picture softly and smiled. Her thoughts were interrupted by a warm male voice.

"That was taken the day after you left for the Keys," Horatio said, coming up behind her, smiling at the memory, "I can get you a copy if you want."

"That would be great," Calleigh said, turning to face him, "I never really got to thank you properly for taken care of them. It meant a lot to me."

"Anytime Cal" he answered, "But I'm not sure how many more of these adventures I can take."

Calleigh laughed, "I know what you mean. Hey, here's those results on the Meyler case. It looks like the brother's gun killed him after all."

"Thanks Calleigh," Horatio said, looking over the file, "You did a great job today. Why don't you head home early so you can take care of your husband?"

"I think I will, thanks Horatio," she said.

"Oh, and by the way, when Ryan gets that cast off, you both get another week's worth of vacation because your last vacation got interrupted." Horatio said, watching the smile spread across Calleigh's face.

"Thank you Horatio. You are the best!" she said giving him a quick hug.

"You're welcome," he said smiling, a twinkle in his eye, "But next time you decide to die on your vacation, you are on your own."

Their laughter echoed down the hallway, chasing away the last shreds of a finished nightmare.
