"Now Ani you be a good girl for Uncle H and I'll be back soon, and since mommy wont be home until tomorrow we'll get pizza for tea." Eric said and kissed her forehead. He turned to his boss/brother in law. "Thanks a million for this H. I shouldn't take long its just a routine check up."
"Take your time. We'll be fine." Horatio smiled. Eric thanked him again and then left.

"Uncle H can I asks you something?" Anissa asked.

"Of course darling."

"It's a secret question though so you have to promise not to tell anyone." She whispered. He smiled

"I promise." He nodded.

"Why doesn't Daddy marry Cal-Cal and Mommy marry Ry?" she asked. Horatio looked at her, that was the last thing he had expected her to say.

"What makes you ask that?"
"H don't tell me you don't know that Daddy loves Cal Cal and Mommy loves Ry, I means you have to you know everything!" he smiled. Of course he knew he just hadn't thought that the four year old Anissa would.

"It's complicated Anissa, you're Mommy and Daddy are married to each other already so they cant marry anyone else. It's adult stuff."

"It's stupid" she sighed. Horatio smiled.

Across Town

Calleigh groaned and wiped a hand across her mouth. She was on the floor of the hospital bathroom beside the toilet. The feeling in her stomach had finally passed. She'd been sick going on two weeks now and had finally dragged herself into see Alexx after a lot of prodding from Eric.

"Calleigh Baby you in there?" Alexx said coming into the room.

"In the bathroom." She said.

"How are you feeling."
"I think it's passed." She nodded. Alexx came into the bathroom.

"Come on lets get you back onto the bed." She helped the younger woman up.

"Do you know why I'm feeling like this yet Alexx?"
"Yes but you're not going to like it." She sat on the bed.

"Just tell me please I need to know." Alexx sighed.

"You're pregnant baby." Calleigh froze, then shook her head.

"No I cant be… well I can but… no." she said.

"Calleigh what…" Alexx started. Calleigh looked up at her.

"What am I going to do."
"You have options Baby. You can just think about this."
"I'm keeping it I don't… I cant have an abortion. And adoption… I wouldn't be able to live not knowing if I could have passed my baby in the street that day, knowing that they're out there but now knowing what they look like."
"Ok. What about the father." Again she shook her head.

"I cant tell him. He'll give everything up for… me. He'd do it…" she whispered.

"do you want to tell me who it is." Alexx asked while rubbing Calleigh's back.

"I cant. You'll think it's awful."

"I wont. I don't judge you know that. Now if it's jake…" Calleigh laughed.

"It's not Jake. I cant tell you you'd hate me."

"No one would hate you not me, not Horatio, not Ani…" Alexx said.

"how did you…" Calleigh said.

"Calleigh you people are like my children I know you inside out."

"He'll leave them Alexx. And I don't want that to happen."
"Calleigh not all divorces end like your parent's ones."

"But some of them do."
