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

Chapter 8.

The next day, Julia sat in her office holding the box with her medications in her hand. She hated to take them and she hated being ill like this, she just wanted to be able to function like any other without them.

She threw the glass hardly against the wall as her tears again started to fall thinking, 'Calleigh I need you.'

And just as her thoughts had been heard, Calleigh entered the office looking at the pills at the ground and the pieces of broken glass, and said: "Oh, honey, you shouldn't have done that."

"I know, I'm just-"

"I know you are," said Calleigh looking at her girl completely dissolved in tears.

Julia didn't say anything more, there wasn't anything to say. Calleigh just walked over, wrapped her arms around her and held her close for a little while.

"Why are you here? I thought you were having enough with the Brennan children?"

"Well, you had a rough night and since you left before I did, I wanted to check on you."

"You're just the sweetest."

Calleigh blushed and said, "Reminds me I bought you something just this morning."

"You did? What?" Julia asked curiously.

"Just close your eyes," said Calleigh.

Julia did and soon she felt something soft and furry as Calleigh said: "Open them."

Julia looked down at a little white kitten and smiled at Calleigh as she happily pet it.

"Aww- Look at those cute blue eyes!"

"I'm glad, thought you needed some cheering up and thought you would like her."

"Thank you. I think I'll call her Snow, since she's just as white," Julia giggled, her crappy tears dried now.

"I better get back," said Calleigh with a sigh, actually not wanting to leave her sweetheart.

"I'll drive you," said Julia and walked towards the door with her, holding little Snow.

Back at the crime lab, the two woman walked in together, their heals clicking against the floor as they headed for the break room.

"Wow, now look at that," said Ryan to Natalia.

"Calleigh seems to change her day by day," she said, looking and pointing at the little white kitten.

Ryan walked out of the DNA lab and followed the two ladies into the break room where he heard Calleigh whisper: "I think we should go out tonight, I wanna dance."

"We have to get up early for work and I don't want to leave this little one alone."

"Come on, Kyle can watch her and you need to have more fun, too."

"With you, I have, but I was never a night club person."

"Please come and dance with me."

"Well... OK."

"Hello ladies," they suddenly heard Ryan say from behind them, both of them startled and backed away from each other.

"Ryan."

"So you got yourself a kitten. Never held you for a cat person, Julia."

"I absolutely love them, and this little girl was a gift."

"Oh, really? From whom?"

"Uhm..."

"So you bought her a cat. What is the occasion?"

"None, does-"

"She wanted to make me feel better."

"That's nice."

"Yeah... She loves me a lot."

"Well, at least someone has to, I guess."

"Ryan, I will not have you talk about my girl that way," said Calleigh in a warning tone, noticing Julia's eyes went sad.

"I'm just saying that Julia doesn't seem to be a person you can like or love for that matter, she seems-"

"She's the most wonderful person in this world and is pretty lovable, too!"

"If you say so," he said.

"Just leave, before I say or do something I may regret," she snarled which made him back off.

"Julia, princess, are you OK?" Calleigh asked concerned.

"Yeah, thanks," she said and kissed her softly.

"You're welcome. I better-" said Calleigh. 'Get back to work.'
