Chapter 14.
It was about five months later and Calleigh had taken a day of from work as she was not feeling well at all, right now she was in bed curled up in a ball whimpering in pain.
Hannibal had been out all night and now he finally returned and found her, he sat down beside her and said, "Lamb-chop what is wrong, where does it hurt?"
"Belly, head and I need to…" she said and leaned her head out of the bed and threw up on the floor.
"Maybe you should see a doctor," he said concerned.
"Not up for going," she said and threw up again before she lay down in the bed shivering and whimpering while her tears started to fall.
Hannibal laid a hand on her forehead and said, "Sweetheart you're burning up, I better call you a doctor."
He sighed went into the living room, found the phone book called and said, "Is this Doctor Smith?"
"Yes who is this?" said a woman in the other end.
"I'm Calleigh Duquesne's boyfriend and she's very ill, any chance you can come by and take a look at her since I don't think it would be wise to take her out," said Hannibal.
"Of course, I'll stop by in not too long," she said and hung up.
Hannibal walked in and said, "The doctor will be here in not to long, I better go so she doesn't see me."
"Please don't leave me like this Hanni, I really need you here," she begged and looked at him with tearful eyes.
"Just relax and try to get some rest, I'll stay," he said.
"Hanni hold me," she whimpered sadly.
He got into bed and hold her closely, hoping the doctor would come soon and that it wasn't anything serious.
About 30 minutes later the doorbell rang, Hannibal went to open, found the doctor outside and said, "Please do come in."
"So any change?" asked the doctor.
"Not much, she's resting, but she's still very sick," said Hannibal and took the doctor to see her.
"Hello Calleigh, can you tell me where it hurts?" the doctor asked.
"Belly and my head hurts and I'm feeling tired and have been throwing up a lot," said Calleigh.
"Let me take a look," said the doctor and removed the cover to feel Calleigh's stomach.
"Please don't say it's anything wrong with the baby," said Calleigh concerned.
"No the baby is fine, you on the other hand have a stomach flu so, but it will pass in a week or less, but you better get plenty of rest and fluid," said the doctor.
"But I have work, I can't stay home for that long," Calleigh argued.
"Well you have no choice and you better make sure she rests," the doctor said to Hannibal.
"I will," he said and showed her out before he went back to Calleigh that was about to get out of bed, he looked at her and said, "And just where do you think you are going?"
"Need to check my mail and the laptop is in the living room," she said.
"Oh no you don't, because if you do you just start to work and the doctor said you should rest," he said in a straight tone.
"No honestly I was just going to check my mail," she said again and got up, but quickly sat down when her head started to spin like crazy.
"You know as well as I that you were not just going to check your mail, admit it you hate to stay home from work since that means that you don't get to do what you loves the most and that bothers you," he said.
"It does, there had to be something I can do except stay in this stupid bed all day," she said annoyed.
"Would you like it better if I carried you into the living room so you could watch TV or a movie or something like that and be closer to the kitchen," he said.
"Why on earth would I need to be closer to the kitchen?" she said annoyed.
"So you can eat or drink, even if you are sick you need to eat or at least drink to get some energy, doctors orders," he said.
"No I don't I'm not hungry or thirsty and I don't want either, and I wanto work not stay here," she argued even though she knew she was right she hated to admit so.
"So do you want to stay here or be in the living room, because I have to run out for a short while," he said.
"I wanna work," she said.
"Though you can't," he said.
"Don't care I'm going," she said.
"You are not, now where do you want to be so I can get sure you have at least enough to drink available before I leave, so you don't get dehydrated," he said.
"Fine living room, will you be gone long because I don't want to be alone," she said.
"No not long," he said and lifted her up and carried her out to the coach and put her down gently before he made her a big bottle of ice water and said, "Call if you need anything okay, and no working."
"Just mail," she said.
"No," he said and took her laptop.
"No fair," she said with a grunt.
"I know. I will be back real soon promise," he said and gave her a light kiss before he left her.
At the crime lab Horatio was walking around quite angry when he heard Clarice say, "Handsome what is wrong?"
"Lecter is bugging me, or rather that I can't get him and I know he's somewhere in Miami but I still can't find him, it has after all been five months and we're not getting any closer to catching him," he said still annoyed.
"I bet he's over at Calleigh's place as any expecting father to be would be when his girl is pregnant," said Clarice.
"IT'S MY BABY NOT HIS!" Horatio yelled even more frustrated that Calleigh was probably living with the guy and he couldn't even get near his unborn child as she wouldn't let him.
"Would you for Christ calm down, you now you won't get anywhere with getting upset like that," said Clarice and put a hand on his arm.
"But he's with her and she will soon have my kid and I can't be there at all and what if they raise him or her together," he said silently.
"You know they can't do that, I mean if he go out with them in public he will get caught, he's to smart for that," said Clarice.
"But Clarice, he's already with her and I can't do anything to stop her as I have no reason to get a warrant for her place and he hasn't killed in a long time, thought he would need to feed and slip up," said Horatio.
"He can control himself and live like normal people and also eat it all and leave no trace," she said.
"Maybe I should just give up I mean I they are happy it would crush her if I caught him," Horatio said.
"But he's dangerous," she said.
"He didn't harm you and I'm sure he doesn't harm her, and she obviously happy with him, I give up," he said and walked out of the room. She stood for a second before she followed him.
"Eric Delko," Eric answered his phone a moment later.
"Hey Eric its Calleigh," she said in the other end.
"Oh hey Cal, what's up?" said Eric cheerfully.
"I was wondering if it's not t much trouble, can you check my mail," she said.
"Why I thought you had a laptop?" he said a bit surprised.
"Stupid boyfriend took it, he said if I got into my mail it would lead to me getting into work and doctor said I was supposed to rest, but I'm real bored," she quickly explained.
"I see, but if he says you should rest, then you probably should," said Eric honest.
"What is this, all men against Calleigh checking her mail day," she said annoyed feeling a sharp pain in her belly and let out a gasp.
"Calleigh you ok?" Eric asked concerned.
"Bloody fantastic, call you later," she said, hung up called Hannibal and said, "Will you get the hell home."
"What's wrong?" he asked.
"It hurts and I'm bored and I want my bloody laptop back," she said and heaved for her breath.
"Would you calm down and I thought the doctor said there was nothing to worry about," said Hannibal worried.
"I can't OUUUUUUUUUUCH," she screamed out in pain as the phone dropped out of her hand and she sank down on the floor whimpering.
