A/N: Hey ya'll sorry for the wait... I know it wasn't that long but school os busy and I have homework already :( With the people who reviewed opinions I decided that Calleigh was a vital part of the story but I still wanted to kill her. Did I find out on the next chapter (and by next I mean this chapter)

Enjoy Kayla/Calleigh Baby

Calleigh's body lurched forward from the adrenaline shot, as her body did this her eyes flew open and she gasped for breath. She lay back on the able her breath heavy and her mind working over time. Her heart recovering from the adrenalin shot, her lungs were not as strong as they were before she was caught in the house fire, so her lungs couldn't take in the air her body needed to support her. A doctor sensing that she needed more air put an oxygen mask over her mouth and told her to breath slowly.

Like before the lead nurse looked up but instead of sad and pain written on the face of LT. Cain relief and happiness was replacing it. A slight smile was on his face and his eyes were back to their bright blue color. Horatio turned and went over to were the rest of the team was.

Eric was the first to stand up and ask if she was ok.

"H... Is she ok?" concern etched into every word and written across his face.

"Eric..." Horatio's voice was soft and filled of compassion "She'll be fine." He added quickly as he say the faces of his team change from a worried to grief stricken look.

Sighs of relief filled the waiting room of Miami Dade Memorial. As the team hugged each other they saw a nurse walking down the hall. Alexx walked up to her

"Excuse me?" Alexx asked politely

"Yes my I help you." The nurse in light blue scrubs asked.

"Yes I was wondering if you know the condition of CSI Call..." The nurse cut off Alexx.

She smiled and looked Alexx in the eye "Miss Duquense will be fine, were finishing up on her head injury and booking her to a room."

Alexx smiled her thanks and shook the nurse's hand. As she walked over to the team she say expectant looks on their faces. Eric was asking with his eyes if she was ok.

"She'll be fine. They are finishing up on her head injury and are booking her as we speak." Alexx said with a smile on her face

Eric closed his eyes and silently prayed to the gods of the world a prayer of thanks for bring Calleigh back safe.

***** 3 hours later*****

Calleigh was booked into a room and she was allowed to have visitors, even if she was unconscious, people were allowed to see her. Every one insisted that Eric go fist but Eric wanted everyone else to go and see her first then he would go and see her.

Eric needed some time to process things and what he was going say to her. Even if she couldn't hear him he wanted to make sure that he had something good to say just incase she could hear him.

After Horatio, Ryan, Natalia, Alexx, Tripp and Kyle went to see her Eric went in. Everyone went to the cafeteria to get some coffee and talk about what happened while Eric visited with a not there Calleigh.

Eric walked into the room and looked at Calleigh a feeling of deja- vou took over him as he recalled the time that she collapsed from smoke inhalation. Eric went to the chair and sat down. He sat there for a moment and looked her over. The blankets were tucked so tight it looked like it would be hard to breath, IV tubes were running into her arm, a heart monitor was clipped to her finger and a piece of gauze was taped to her head were she had it so hard she needed stitches.

"Calleigh... Hey it's Eric." He took a deep breath "Remember that time you were here in the hospital and I told you that I couldn't live without you... Calleigh that's to true if you weren't to make it through I don't know what I'd do. Calleigh you need to pull through. Everyone and especially me is terrified Calleigh you know that you can't leave us, we need you... I need you."

Eric took out a velvet box from his pocket and opened it. He looked down at the little piece of jewelry that sat in the box. He picked up the shiny piece of jewelry and then closed the box and placed it back in his pocket. He then picked up her hand and placed the necklace in her hand cross first, then closed her fingers. He kissed her hand and looked at her small frame, to him Calleigh looked small and fragile, he thought that if Calleigh was able to read his mind she would shot him for thinking that she was in any way fragile.

Eric turned o leave when a small voice caught his attention.

"Eric" the voice was quite and sounded dry.

Eric whirled around to see Calleigh laying there with her eyes open. She looked Eric directly in the eye and as she opened her mouth to say something Eric moved. He went swiftly to the side of her bed and swooped down to kiss her passionately on the lips, minding the wires and tubes. Calleigh was taken back at first by Eric then she realized that she would be stupid not to kiss him back. Calleigh returned the kiss just as passionately as Eric gave it. To Eric's relief Calleigh was not only awake but she returned the kiss. Eric new that his mind did not drive him to kiss her but his heart. He poured his heart into the kiss. Calleigh ran her tongue on his bottom lip begging of entrance, Eric gladly gave it to her. Tongue dueled and lips moved. Calleigh thought she had never kissed anyone quite like him or like this. When they pulled back Calleigh rested her forehead on his and looked at his eyes, what she say was love and desire. Calleigh smiled and gave him a peck on the lips

"I guess that answers my question." Calleigh said breathing heavily.

"And what might that be?" Eric asked

"Was what you said true?" Calleigh asked knowing the answer

Eric kissed her lips once more and looked her in the eye.

"Yes... Every word... Calleigh you know I would die for you right?"

"Ya..." Not sure how to finish the conversation she kissed him again.
