DISCALIMER: I don't own CSI Miami and i don't make any money from it
Chapter 15.
Horatio, who hadn't reached the elevator yet, heard Calleigh's scream and knew it couldn't be any good, so he stormed back to find her on the floor screaming out in pain, with tears falling from her eyes.
He quickly sat down next to her, grasping her free hand into his to give her some kind of support, realizing she had gone into labour by the looks of it, and said: "Breathe, Calleigh. Breathe."
"It hurts, Julia. The baby- it's too soon," Calleigh let out, sobs accompanying her words as she had somehow managed to get her phone and called Julia.
"I know," Julia replied, as she heard Calleigh breathing heavily and understood exactly what was going on.
"It hurts," Calleigh whimpered, not quite knowing where to crawl because of the constant pain. She hurt in between her legs, and the sharp pains crossing over her stomach hurt even more.
"I know it does sweetheart, just breath can you do that for me" said Julia calmly in the other end.
"I really need you," Calleigh managed to say before the phone slipped out of her hand as she screamed out from the pain caused by her first full contraction.
Horatio took the phone and said: "Julia, she's in labour."
"I know! You're getting her to the hospital right now and if anything happens to either of my girls, I swear I'll kill you."
"And-"
"I'm on the other side of town at the moment. I'll meet you at the hospital. Take care of her," she said and hung up the phone.
Horatio's eyes were wide. He had never been in such situation before. In situations with pregnant women involved? Plenty. But now he seriously didn't know what to do first.

"I'm fat," Calleigh said to herself, looking into the mirror at the ladies' room at CSI. She was a little over her second trimester of pregnancy.
"Hey Calleigh, how are you?" she heard Natalia say as she just got in.
"Fat. I'm fat, and ugly, and horny," Calleigh complained, not minding to use proper words.
"Julia stopped having sex with you?" asked Natalia surprised.
"No. We had sex yesterday morning before work," Calleigh said. "By the way, you've seemed more cheerful lately. I've got the feeling love is in the air," said Calleigh curiously.
"Yeah..." Natalia admitted. "Yesterday morning isn't all too long ago..."
"When I'm really horny it is. So who are you seeing?" Calleigh asked, not caring to be subtle.
"It might jinx it if I told you," she said, teasingly.
"You-" said Calleigh, not being able to hide the smile on her face, then deciding she could go visit Julia at the office at lunch to do something about her horny mood.
"So, have you guys already decided on a name for the little one?" Natalia asked, not being all too subtle herself either.
"It might jinx if I told you," Calleigh said, sticking her tongue out in a childish manner before going back to Firearms.

"Get lost!" Calleigh yelled at Horatio, who was sitting by her side at the hospital nibbling his lower lip and hoping Julia would be there pretty soon.
"Julia'll kill me if something happens to you while she's not here," he said, not knowing who he feared the most, an angry Julia or the girl right next to him in labour.
Calleigh tried to sit upright by using her hands. Horatio reached out to help her doing so, but her only reaction was to slap him in the face and yell at him. Horatio didn't say anything. She was just about to yell at him again when she felt another and stronger contraction and screamed out even harder as she grabbed his hand and squeezed it as hard as she possibly could.
