Horatio jumped as his cellphone rang,and both Frank and Eric saw him jump and quirked a brow.

''Not a word.''

''I thought the might Horatio Caine couldn't get startled,''Frank said chuckling.

''Shut up.'' With that,Horatio answered his phone.

''Yes?''

''Lieutenant Caine,we got the results back from the blood work.''

''And?''

''I have a few more questions for you,and I'll need you to come in tomorrow at the same time.''

''What other questions?'' Horatio didn't like the tone of the doctor. It sounded like there was something wrong going on.

''Let's just say,they're very unusual questions.'' With that,the doctor hung up.

''Horatio set the phone down and buried his face in his hand.

''Frank,can you take me back out tomorrow at the same time?''

''Sure.''

Horatio sighed and mulled over the possibilities of what might be wrong.


Later that night,Ryan found Horatio asleep on the couch.

They hadn't been home for very long,but the lack of food meant lack of energy for the redhead and he fell asleep easily.


Horatio grumbled up quite a storm as he headed for work. He knew he had to go to the doctors again,and he didn't have any idea what the hell was going on with his body.

He had tried to actually put a meal in his stomach,but he didn't get very far.

When five o'clock rolled around,Horatio grumbled his way through the lab to the elevator with Frank.

''Let's get this over with,''he muttered in annoyance.

They reached the office,and Horatio told his Texan friend to wait in the car before he went inside and sat down in the waiting room.

He was the only one there,so it made him relax a little.

"Lieutenant Caine," The nurse said, holding a clipboard and said male got up and followed her.

Just like as yesterday,he followed the doctor to a room and waited.

Soon another doctor stepped into the room.

"Hello Lieutenant,are you feeling okay,today?"

''Funny you should ask. I threw up last night.''

The doctor nodded as if he was confirming something.

"Okay,now,about those questions."

"Yes?"

"Now this may sound odd,but,are you in a relationship?"

"Yes,"Horatio tilted his head a bit.

"Now,is this a homosexual relationship?" The doctor looked at him.

Horatio nodded slowly,''I'm married.''

"Ok. Now,like I said I have one more test. Please come with me."

The doctor lead him down the hall and to a room where there was a big machine next to reclined seat.

"Please, have a seat and lift up your shirt,"

Horatio did as asked and the doctor turned on the machine. On the screen there was a cone looking shape and it was dark.

"Ok, this is going to be slightly cold," The doctor had put on rubber gloves and squirted some gel on the redhead's exposed stomach.

The doctor grabbed something that looked like a little paddle.

The doctor put the thing on his stomach and slid it around, the cone on the screen turned an odd grey color. There were a few odd shapes and things as the doctor slid it around more,until he stopped on a spot where there was something more there.

"What is that?"Horatio yelped as the thing moved a little.

"That,Lieutenant,is a fetus."

Horatio began to slowly turn pale as the doctor turned the equipment off once a few sheets were printed.

The redhead tucked his shirt back in and mentally,his mind was frozen with shock.

The doctor handed Horatio an envelope,and Horatio stalked out of the office.

Frank noticed the man stepping out of the building,a strange horrified expression on his face.

''I take it it didn't go too well?''Frank asked.

There was no response. Horatio just handed the envelope to him and got in the car and passed out.
