We were currently waiting in an exam room at St Anne's waiting for Doctor Sanchez to arrive. I was currently massaging my temples I have a headache at the moment I have been waking up with headaches every morning I figure I must be coming down with something.
"Amy darling you okay?",Calleigh asked with concern as she came up and sat next to me on the bed on my left side Dad came and sat on the right side of me he grabbed my hand and squeezed it gently while he rubbed my back softly.
"I'm okay Calleigh I'm having a stress related headache.",I replied as Calleigh rubbed my back softly.
"How about when we get home how about you and I have a relaxing movie day?",Calleigh asked with a small smile
"That would be awesome.",I replied with a smile as Doctor Sanchez walked in the room.
"Hi Amy How are you today?",He asked with a smile.
"I'm good I'm ready to get these stiches out.",I replied with a faint smile.
"Okay let's get them out can I get one of you behind Amy and hold her close and the other to hold Amy's hand this may be painful Amy.",Doctor Sanchez warned. Dad got behind me and wrapped his arm around my neck and pulled me close to him I laid my head on his shoulder. Calleigh knelt down and squeezed my hand.
"Ready Amy?",Doctor Sanchez asked as he got tweezers along with some gauze pads to stop any bleeding.
"Yes",I replied.

Horatio's Home
1:30AM
For the seventh time tonight Amy woke up with the feeling that she's going to vomit she got up and ran like a bat of hell to the bathroom. I knelt down and threw up like my life depended on it. Amy felt strong arms wrap around her waist she also felt someone pull her hair back as she vomited for a good whole 10 minutes Amy wiped her mouth and flushed the toilet. She leaned against Horatio for support while Calleigh rubbed her shoulder.
"Amy when was your last period?,Calleigh asked with concern.
"Um three weeks ago",Amy replied as a few tears fell down, Calleigh nodded and stepped out for a minute leaving Horatio and Amy. Amy turned around and sobbed in his shoulder Horatio tighten his grip on her and rubbed soothing circles on her back. Amy buried her face in his chest.
"Dad?",Amy whispered while choking on a sob. Horatio held her closer.
"What's on your mind sweetheart?",Horatio asked gently as he ran his fingers gently through her hair.
"If I am pregnant and I'll have the baby and raise him/her she/he shouldn't pay for what Jason did they're innocent. Will you be there for me?",Amy asked as she cried softly in his chest.
"I'll always be here sweetheart I'm not going anyway I'll stand with you always.",Horatio whispered in her ear as he kissed her on the head and placed his chin on top of her head. Amy listened to the soft beats of his heart it was very soothing to her. Horatio wiped away her tears from her cheeks and lifted her head up with a finger so she's looking at him. He could tell by looking in her soft hazel eyes that she had strength in her he also saw the very pain he knows oh to well. The pain her father gave her growing up was the same pain he suffered at the hands of his father.
"Listen to me sweetheart you're a strong woman who has been broken and battered and yet you come out strong. You refuse to see the dark side you rather see the best in everything and everyone you meet. You have a warm heart and soul. I'm proud of you sweetheart and I know that everything will turn out okay. I'll always be here for you.",Horatio said tenderly as he kissed her on the forehead and pulls her back in his embrace.
Amy buried her face in his neck as Horatio ran his fingers down her back in a soothing way. The two sat in solance and silence until Calleigh came back with Natalia following behind her with some pregnancy tests in her hand. Calleigh and Natalia knelt down.
"Amy Natalia brought you some pregnancy tests for you.",Calleigh said softly as she stroked Amy's hair softly,
"I grabbed several just in case if we get different results.",Natalia said with a sympathic smile. Amy pulled away a bit from Horatio's arms and took the bag from Natalia.
"Dad do you mind stepping out a minute?",Amy asked sadly. Horatio nodded as he kissed her on the cheek and squeezed her shoulders.
"I'll be right outside sweetheart.",Horatio said with a soft smile as he Calleigh and Natalia stepped out of the bathroom. Amy set the bag down on the counter she opened the bag and took a test out and opened the package she set the test down on the counter and pulled out the directions. After she read the directions she sets them down on the counter and grabs the test and removes the cap. Amy takes a deep breath to calm her nerves.
Outside Of The Bathroom
Horatio stood right by the door while the two CSIS were in front of the door waiting for Amy to come out of the bathroom. Many unanswered questions were running through their heads. A few minutes later soft crying can be heard from the bathroom.

"Dad!",Amy called Horatio quickly opened the door and he was the first one in the bathroom with Calleigh and Natalia in tow. Amy was standing by the sink she was frozen in place with the pregnancy test in hand. She had tears falling down her face. Horatio came up behind her and hugged her from behind.
The test result of the pregnancy test was "Positive" Horatio kissed her on the cheek several times before pulling her against him her head against his chest as he wrapped his arms around forming a protective ring around her. He placed a hand on her stomach and rubbed soothing circles on her stomach.
"I'm going to have the baby where ever its a boy or girl what Jason did was not their fault.",Amy said softly. Natalia and Calleigh came up and placed a comforting hand on her shoulders. Horatio kissed her on the head.
"We're all here for you Amy",Natalia whispered as she squeezed Amy's shoulder.
"I'm sure the baby will be beautiful if it's a boy or girl.",Calleigh said with a sympathic smile. Amy smiled softly as she wiped the tears from her eyes.
"Sweetheart you will be a wonderful mother.",Horatio whispered in her ear as he placed his chin on top of her head.

"Dad would it be alright if I come back to the lab tomorrow so I can tell the others?",Amy asked shyly. Horatio kissed her head softly.
"Sure sweetheart.",Horatio replied softly. Amy yawned as her eyelids began to flutter.
"Come on sleepyhead let's go to bed.",Horatio said softly as he picked her up in his arms and carried her to the bedroom as the two CSIS went to the couch to sleep.
Bedroom
Horatio set Amy down and tucked her in before he got in the bed and wrapped his arms around her forning a protective ring around her. He was looking down on her as she slept. Amy looked peaceful he frowned a little as he gently traced a scar her father gave her on her shoulder. He wishes he can take all the pain from her and make her feel better. Horatio pulled her closer to him he stroked her hair softly as he kissed her on the head before closing his eyes and sending a silent prayer for her to God.
"Dad?",Amy whispered as she looked up in Horatio's gentle blue eyes gazing down on her.
"Yes sweetheart?",Horatio whispered tenderly as he wiped a lone tear from her cheek.
"I love you.",Amy said softly as she squeezed Horatio's hand. Horatio kissed her on the head and held her close.
"I love you to sweetheart get some rest now I'm here.",Horatio replied softly as he placed his chin on her head and fell asleep. Amy fell asleep with a soft smile.
