A/N: The end is here and I'm really sad about it but I want to thank all of you for sticking with my procrastination hehe anyway I really enjoyed writing this and I'll be starting a knew one as soon as my others are finished which should be soon so look out for it.

"Calleigh you've got to slow down what are you talking about?"

Horatio had been enjoying his first evening alone in a long time when his cell phone rang. He picked it up hoping that it wasn't someone telling him he needed to come into the lab, but a frantic Calleigh was on the other end.

"Chris….Eric and Natalia…Ryan…..pictures" every hard breath was another word.

By now Horatio was alert; the Calleigh he knew didn't get this worked up over anything small.

"Calleigh I need you to listen to me, okay?" silence was the response but that was good enough for him.

"First what is going on?" he never expected what he heard next.

"Chris he set it all up…killed Natalia and Eric… he's after me….wants to kill Ryan…because of me."

It was still broken up, between sobs and heavy breathing but what he could decipher was enough to make him grab his keys and run out the door.

"Okay Calleigh I'll call back up and get to your house as soon as I can. Where are you?" he had a pretty good idea of where she was but he still had hope that he was wrong.

"Outside my house...hurry."

"Calleigh wait-"a click told him that she was already gone.

The door was open when she stepped inside. Making sure her gun was off safety she carefully took a few steps inside.

A creak upstairs caused her to turn to the stairs and slowly make her way up them one at a time.

"Ryan?" Calleigh repeated his name another four times each louder than the first. The last time she screamed so loud, she almost missed the small moan that escaped from the guest room behind her. Turning around, Calleigh slowly made her way to the door, kicking it open with her foot. A small gasp escaped her lips at the sight before her.

"Oh my-"she wasn't able to finish her sentence as something hard made contact with that back of her head. Fortunately her vision only blurred slightly and she stumbled back kicking blindly. Her foot made contact with something and a grunt signaled that it was her attacker.

Horatio entered the house and slowly began making his way through each room but a yelp caused him to turn and make his way up the stairs, waving his hand at the group of officer behind him. A flash of blonde hair alerted him that the action was in the guest room. Opening the door, a leg kicked out slamming into a male next to the closet door. Two shots filled the air.

A woman sat next to a hospital bed holding the hand of the occupant, both in a fitful sleep.

"Calleigh? Calleigh!" she jolted awake as a hand brushed softly against her face. A smile filled it as she raised her eyes to meet Ryan's.

"Hey, there sleepy-head."

"Hey, are you ready to go?" he was being discharged after suffering from a gun shot wound.

"Yep, you know I love you right."

"I love you, too.

Two months later Chris was charged with the attempted murder of Ryan and the murder of Eric and Natalia. The bullet was never recovered from his leg. Ryan and Calleigh were married April 5, 2007. Julie Marie Wolfe was born August 16, 2009.
