8.

My Goodness, I am actually going to be a mother in less than a month. Amazing. So when I tell you that this little one is a miracle, will you believe it? You better! Before my eighth month, I-of course- had the contractions, but a little while after that, I started to bleed. I know that I wasn't having Isabelle yet because the contractions were actually going away with the medication that they had me on for a few days. The bleeding wasn't much, just spotting, so I went to my doctor and she said that it was nothing, I was on my feet all day and the strain was finally getting to me. Funny, how she would think that because I wasn't feeling anything….

Can I tell you a secret? Please? Ok, well as of right now I am currently seeing this man, who may I tell you, is the best person ever! He treats me like a princess and helps me with things that I cant normally do because I'm pregnant. We have had our ups and downs, but we manage. I am actually proud to say that I love him with all my heart. Later on today we are meeting up for lunch. If I remember correctly I think it's at 4. That gives me…2 hours to get ready. What to wear?

Yesterday, I was at work to visit the father of my child and I passed Alexx. So funny, she looked at me like I was an alien or something, could have been because I still had my sunglasses on too. I told her the usual "Good Morning" and "How are you?" deal, but she still didn't know who I was, that was until I took off my sunglasses. Believe me when I say that woman can scream, because first of all she didn't know that I was pregnant and secondly, she didn't know that I changed my hair color. I thought that I might of busted one of my eardrums. She has some lungs she does. We hugged and talked for a few minutes before Horatio and Eric greeted us.

Eric had already known that I was pregnant and I changed my hair, but none knew that Horatio and I were actually living together. My lease on my apartment was up and I didn't want to look for another one, being that I was pregnant and all I wanted to do was sit on my ass and eat. Thanks baby girl. Believe me, when I told them two, they both actually yelled "Finally" a us, literally, if you don't believe me, ask Horatio..

Horatio had asked me plain and simple if I was willing to move into his house. How could I have said no? I wanted him every step of the way during my last couple weeks being pregnant, I wanted him to see my stomach grow and feel his daughter kick and play around in there too. I wanted him by my side the rest of the way. Plus, I then have an excuse to go shopping too, which I did yesterday as well. Hehe, love you babe! I kinda used his credit card to splurge a little, hey it was an emergency!

I bought this cute sundress, of course maternity type, but it can also be worn after I had Isabelle. Before I forget, I finally decided what her middle name will be- Michaela. Isabelle Michaela Caine. Don't ask me how I finally arrived at her middle name, I just did. Ooo, she is kicking, but..she only does that when her daddy is near and..so far that I know, he is at work…

Nope, I can hear the lock disengage and the door opening downstairs before he calls my name.

"Calleigh!"

"Up here!…Bedroom!" I yell back to him before I actually try to get out of the bed

Sometimes I cant wait until this little one is born, but other times I love the feel of her moving around in there, feels comforting…

"Do you need help?"

I look to the entry of the door and I see my other half there, funny how not three months ago I hated him with a passion and now I actually love him with more than ever. We have come a very long way in the last three months. Being completely stubborn with each other to actually wanting nothing more than to be near each other. I-of course-am no longer working in the field, but I do get to help on cases that need a ballistics expert or when Horatio needs help with his paper work.

"Yes, please" I ask him as I stretch my hands out for him to take, which he does "Thanks" I tell him after I am actually standing on my feet

"My pleasure" he tells me before leaning down and kissing my lips softly

"Why are you home early?" I ask "Not that I don't like that you are"

"I wanted to be here with you", he tells me "Plus I too need to get ready for our dinner tonight"

I felt a swift kick from Isabelle, which made me lean over and gasp. Damn this girl can kick! I promise you that she will be a soccer player from the way she is kicking my insides. Horatio grabs my shoulders to steady me before I literally fall over.

"Calleigh?"

"She is kicking so hard" I gasp again when I feel another kick "I think that she wants her daddy"

"Funny"

"No, I'm serious…she knows that you are here"

I feel as his hand moves from the spot on my shoulders to my expanded belly before it rests there. Thank God, Isabelle finally is settling down. Weird how she knows when he is around..but then again I used to know when he was around too. When someone needed to find Horatio, they always came to me.

"Thank you"

"Is she always like this?" he asks me

I look down at his hand on my belly and smile at this site, so adorable, she truly will be a daddy's girl when she is born.

"Yeah, but never when we are asleep, I think it's always because you have your hand somewhere on my stomach during the night" I tell him, "She will really be your little girl, she is addicted to your touch"

"Maybe I can persuade her to date when she is 30" he jokes

"Funny, Horatio, real funny" I sarcastically say back to him, "I started dating at 18..you?"

"20 maybe, I never had much time for girls"

"Well I never had much time for boys, but I tried to at least have some sort of a personal life"

"You and me both"

"Kyle wants to come to dinner tonight" Horatio tells me, "Says that he wants to get to know you and his little sister"

"About that, I finally picked out her middle name" I tell him "and he is more then welcomed to come with us tonight"

"Great, I will tell him, but about her middle name?"

"Michaela..Isabelle Michaela Caine" I tell him and wait for his response….

"I like it"

"Really!"

"Yes, really"

"Yay!"

"Isabelle Michaela Caine" Horatio repeats to me, "Has a nice ring to it"

And I think it does too….


Isabelle Means: God is my Oath
Michaela Means: Who is like God
Caine Means: Son of the fighter
