Chapter 8:Not Alone

Amy woke up to an empty bed that's when it hit her today was the anniversary of the day Marisol died. This day has always hit Horatio hard, Amy sighed and got out of bed she walked out of the room only to find Horatio sitting right by the door he was staring at a picture of him and Marisol that was taken on their wedding day. Amy's heart broke as she looked at the photo she was so beautiful and yet she was taken so young and so soon. Since Marisol died Horatio has not been the same. Amy met Marisol a couple times she was the sweetest and most kind woman Amy has ever met.

On the day Marisol died she was in Durango Colorado on a mission trip. She flew back to Miami to be with Horatio he cried on her shoulder for several days. When Horatio went to go pay for the funeral arrangements for Marisol he was told by the funeral director that an annoymous woman paid for everything including the plot and headstone. Horatio has always known it was Amy.

Amy walked up to Horatio and knelt down in front of him she gently took the photo from his hands and set it back down in it's original place. She took his hand in hers and held it close to her heart. Horatio looked up at her with a sad and somber look on his face that's when Amy saw a tear fall down his face. Amy pulled him into her embrace and allowed him to cry on her shoulder. Horatio tighten his grip on her while Amy placed her chin on top of her head while she stroked his hair softly.

"I miss her to Dad I miss her to",Amy whispered softly as soft tears fell down her face. Her heart shattered as her beloved father sobbed in her shoulder his body shaking like a leaf. She held him tightly as he cried.

"I'm here Dad I'm here.",Amy cooed softly as she kissed him softly on the head.

"Lord, You and I both know that your beloved servant and my beloved father Horatio Caine has done many wonderful deeds for so many people. You and I both know how much everyone and myself love him. Please cover him with love and mercy as he mourns the loss of beloved Marisol, He needs you Lord please send down your angels to comfort,guide and protect him for all time. Amen", Amy whispered as she kissed him on the cheek. After a few minutes Horatio's sobs died down Amy pulled away and wiped away the remaining tears from his eyes.

"Thank you sweetheart.",Horatio whispered softly as he kissed her on the forehead.

"I'm always here for you Dad.",Amy replied with a soft smile as she gently squeezed his hand. Horatio pulled her back into his embrace and held her close to his heart and kissed her on the head. Amy knew that he needed a day to grieve so she pulls out her cellphone and texts Calleigh who Horatio considers as his second in command:

"Hey lady Dad needs a day to mourn he woke up sad today he misses Marisol dearly will you be willing to take over for him? I will be with him. Also can you tell the rest of the team the baby news? If they ask you if it's a rumor tell them to call me." -Amy! :)

Calleigh replies:

"Sure girlie tell Horatio that he can take all the time he needs I'll keep everyone in line for him. Also tell him that we love him and we're all here for him. I will pass the baby news along with the team. See ya later :) -Calleigh :)

Amy put her phone away in her pocket as she hugged Horatio tightly who hugged her back tightly. The two held eachother close finding comfort in eachothers embrace and company.

"You hungry sweetheart?,Horatio asked breaking the silence.

"Yes Dad",Amy replied softly.

"Go get dressed I'll make us some breakfast.",Horatio said softly as he pulled away and got up and walked to the kitchen to make breakfast, Amy got up and went back to the bedroom to shower and get dressed.

Kitchen

After Amy got dressed in a white t-shirt and jean shorts along with red converse her hair was down she just brushed her hair back. She came to the table and sat down next to Horatio who was already eating his breakfast.

"Thank you Dad",Amy said softly as she leaned over and kissed him on the cheek. Horatio smiled softly at her. Amy started to eat her breakfast. The two ate their breakfast in comforting silence for a brief time.

"How are you holding up sweetheart?",Horatio asked with concern.

"I'm fine Dad I know it's going to be hard but I have to be strong for the baby",Amy replied with a soft smile. Horatio placed a hand on her stomach.

"You're going to be alright sweetheart and I know this baby will be a beautiful baby.",Horatio said softly with a gentle smile which Amy returned. After Amy and Horatio were done eating they decided to go to Marisol's grave to mourn together and remember her. Amy grabbed her jacket and her purse.

"Ready sweetheart?",Horatio asked as he held his hand out to Amy.

"Yes Dad.",Amy replied with a soft smile as she put her hand in his as the two walked out the door and to the awaiting hummer.

On The Way To The Cementary

There was nothing but somber silence on the way to the cementary Amy's heart broke for her beloved father who has been her rock and her shelter. Her death shook him hard to the very core Amy knew that she needed to be his rock and shelter during this dark storm. Amy remembers very well the day she met Marisol for the first time it was during Christmas break Amy came home from college to spend Christmas with them that memory still runs through Amy's mind.

-Flashback-

"Amy I'm so happy that you're home.",Horatio said with a tearful smile as he picked her up and hugged her tightly. Amy giggled and hugged him back twice as tightly.

"I've missed you so much! Is she here?",Amy asked with a smile that could light up so many lives. Horatio nodded as he put her down and took her by the hand and walked over to where Marisol was waiting she was leaning over a balcony that looked over the beach it was a beautiful picture to paint.

"Marisol?",Horatio called out softly. Marisol turned around and smiled softly as she walked up to Horatio and Amy. Horatio greeted her with a warm hug and kiss on the cheek. The two pulled away as Marisol looked at Amy with absolute tenderness and kindness.

"Is this Amy?",Marisol asked with a smile. Horatio nodded as Marisol walked up to Amy and greeted her with the warmest hug.

"It's so nice to finally meet you Amy!",Marisol said excitedly.

"It's really nice to meet you as well Marisol you're very pretty",Amy replied with a soft smile.

"Thank you you are a very beautiful girl",Marisol said with a smile. The two women pulled away. They ended up talking for what seems like eternity while Horatio watched over them protectively.

-End Of Flashback-

Amy was somewhere else when a few tears fell down her face she didn't even notice that she was crying until Horatio wiped away the tears with his finger which made her jump a bit she didn't even know that they arrived at the cementary.

"Penny for thoughts sweetheart?",Horatio asked with concerned.

"I was thinking about the day Marisol and I met for the first time.",Amy replied as Horatio squeezed her hand before they got out of the car.

The pair walked somberly to Marisol's grave Amy knew she was watching over them by the way the sun was shining. Marisol is their angel. Horatio knelt down to to place a single red rose on her grave while Amy knelt down next to him and placed a bouquet of lilies on Marisol's grave.

"There is not a day where I don't think of Mari I miss you everyday. I love you.",Horatio whispered as a few tears fell. Amy squeezed his arm gently as she laid her head against his shoulder.

"I miss you everyday Marisol you were so full of life and happiness You will always be in my heart and thoughts. Thank you for being my awesome best friend.",Amy whispered as a few tears fell down her face. Horatio pulled her into his arms and hugged her tightly. Amy laid her head on his chest while the two silently cried in eachother arms. A gentle breeze gently caressed them and they heard a faint yet soft whisper tell them:

"You're Not Alone I am here."

They knew it was Marisol's voice her voice so gentle and soft. The two held eachother for a very long time content in eachothers arms.
