Chapter 15.
"Calleigh, Calleigh," Hannibal said in the other end as he heard her whimper in the other end.
"Calleigh, talk to me sweetheart," he said desperately as he could tell she was in great pain, but there was no answering, just whimpering before it become completely quiet.
"Hell," he thought as she parked the car and stormed up to the apartment and found her on the floor holding her hand on her stomach.
"Calleigh, sweetheart, are you ok?" he asked concerned, as he sat down next to her on the floor.
"I dunno, don't hurt no more and she's kicking hardly," said Calleigh tiredly as she looked up in his concerned eyes.
Hannibal gently placed his hand on her stomach and said, "She's kicking hardly al right, here let me help you."
Then he helped her up in the couch and sat down next to her and said, "How do you know it's a girl."
"Just a feeling I got, she sure is active in there isn't she, wonder what she trying to tell me," said Calleigh with a sigh as she smiled at him.
"She is, and she's either telling her mummy to slow down and rest or get back to work, hard to say," he answered and smiled back at her, glad that she was ok.
"You miss being at work little one," said Calleigh and let her hand stroke over her belly.
She got a kick in return and added, "Or do you just miss your daddy."
Calleigh got two new kicks and Hannibal said, "Don't worry little one I'm right here."
And funnily enough the baby seemed to calm down to the sound of his voice.
"Oh she just missed you Hanni," said Calleigh and gave him a soft kiss.
"So it would seem. I don't know why thought as I'm not her father," he said and looked down.
"Well to her you are as you are around her the most," said Calleigh and gave him another kiss.
"Would you rather be with Horatio than me since he's her father?" asked Hannibal.
"No," said Calleigh without even thinking further about it.
Hannibal smiled at her before he gave her another kiss and said, "I love you too sweetheart."
Calleigh got another kick and Hannibal said, "I love you too my little one."
"I'm tired, can you please carry me back in bed," said Calleigh.
"Of course my angel," he said and lifted her up and carried her back into bed before she asked, "How come you can carry me when I'm this big and heavy."
"You're not heavier than a feather my love," he answer and gave her a light kiss.
"Will you rest with me?" she asked.
"Of course," he said and lay down next to her and held her closely while she slowly drifted of.
