DISCALIMER: I don't own CSI Miami and i don't make any money from it

Chapter 7

It was about 3AM when Kyle finally got back. He was startled when he heard Calleigh's firm tone say: "Where have you been?" She had just gotten up to get herself a glass of water. Not that's he had been able to get some sleep, with a Julia tossing about next to her.

"Out" he replied not really caring to talk to her.

"Do you have any idea how much you scared your mother?"

"Oh, she cares... Right..."

"Kyle. Your mother loves you more than anything else in this world. If anything happened to you, she could simply not go on."

"If that was true, she would have asked me before she suddenly bought a house."

"She doesn't need to ask your permission for that, she's a grown woman."

"Still it would have been nice to know."

"I know, and I'll make sure, in the future I'll make sure to have her discuss all the important decisions with you."

"So I take it you are here to stay."

"I would say so. Are we going to have a problem with that like earlier today? Because I don't want to end the greatest thing that has ever happened to me, but if-" "

Just give me a little time, OK? At least you're way better than Rick."

Calleigh giggled, and said: "So where were you?"

"I'm not gonna tell you anyways."

"Okay. Well I suggest you go to bed as you have school tomorrow."

"I will," he said and headed upstairs to his own bedroom.

Calleigh sighed, as she walked up as well, and into the master bedroom, where she saw Julia twisting and turning in her sleep whimpering a bit.

Calleigh crept up next to her only to hold her close.

"He's home," she whispered at her sleeping lover that quickly started sleeping more quietly.

"My Julia," said Calleigh, and kissed Julia's shoulder gently before she let her hand rest against her lover's back.

"My Calleigh, promise you'll never leave me," Julia whispered back half asleep.

"Never," she replied, giggling, as she drifted off as well, now being able to get some sleep.

At the same time Horatio had gotten out of bed and walked restlessly around, by dating Rick he had forgotten to think about Kyle and how he would react.

"Horatio, get back to bed," said Rick with a grunt.

He chose to overhear his lover's comment as he thought about Calleigh and the children and Julia buying a house that would indicate that Julia saw this going somewhere. And this would probably also mean that they were considering children.

And what did Calleigh mean by 'he had broken her', she couldn't love him in any way as she had chosen Julia. Or did she once want him to be the father of her children? No, she would never let that happen, he figured out and shook it off with a huff. The Calleigh Duquesne he knew wouldn't have relations with someone she worked with, although he knew she had 'dated' Eric for a short while, but that quickly ended. On what grounds, he didn't quite know, but he suspected she didn't like him the same way he liked her.

And then Jake had come back and broken her again, he wondered what he had did this time.

"Handsome what are you walking around like that for?"

"Thinking."

"About?"

"The way Kyle reacted earlier when he found out about us. Apparently he wasn't home when Julia and Calleigh came home. I don't know, Rick, maybe this wasn't the best idea after all."

"Horatio, listen, you can't let that break this up. You can't let him break us up. He will get used to it, it will just take some time, and I'm sure Julia or Calleigh will tell him the same, as I'm sure they are not planning on breaking it off either."

"Probably not, as Julia just bought a house and I suspect she wants to have a family with Calleigh there."

"A house? That's fast, and they had to have been together shorter than we have."

"I know, but I've got a feeling Julia may have liked Calleigh a bit longer than the other way around, and that Calleigh is trying to let herself fall completely for Julia before showing it to the world."

Rick patted the spot next to him on the bed, and Horatio crawled in and let his head rest on his lover's chest, as Horatio gently stroked Rick's head, wondering if he maybe wanted more children himself. But quickly realized he was satisfied with one.
