Authors Note: A bad day will soon turn around.

Chapter 12

It was a little over six months after this incident that Julia decided to visit during her lunch break. Since this was a very sunny day and she didn't feel like taking the car she decided to walk there. She did to a change have time to spare. As she was walking over she was humming along with one of the tunes to her IPod.

The IPod was a gift from Calleigh as she felt that Julia needed more music in her life so she had put on a lot of different music. At first Julia had just rolled her eyes at it, but as time went by she found that it was necessary and she loved walking around listening to the music on it. Besides when she walked around listening to music she tended to get to places faster.

Like this day as the blonde was walking around listening to some kinda country she suddenly found herself outside the crime lab, she just smiled and walked inside and took the elevator up to the lab.

She vaguely said hey to the receptionist that said hi back, but not much more as she was used to the old blonde was either there to see Calleigh or Horatio, but then she remembered they were both out and yelled after her, "Mrs. Saris!"

Julia walked back and said, "Yes.

"I don't know if you planned to see Calleigh or Horatio, but they are both out," she said.

"I was planning to see Calleigh, but I can wait in the break room I suppose, is it long since she went out?" Julia asked.

"An hour or so, she should have been back by now," she answered.

"I see, well as I said I can wait," said Julia and smiled at her before she headed towards the break room when she heard Natalia say, "Julia."

She turned and said, "Natalia, how are you doing?"

"Great, had a really good morning, what about yourself?" she asked.

"Not too bad to be honest, just thought I walk over and surprise Calleigh, but she's out after what I hear," said Julia.

"Yeah, I can always keep you company while you wait if you want, as I got some time to spare," Natalia offered.

"I would really like that," said Julia as she opened the door to the break room for her.

Calleigh was on the other hand not having a good morning or after she had left for work that was. First she had gotten a flat tire, which of course meant she had to change it causing her to be late. Then she had run out of gas on the way to the crime scene, making her call Horatio to help her out which he quickly did. And now on her way back to the lab she had gotten her period, which wasn't supposed to happen for another four days. This of course led to her having to rush back home to change underwear and pants, in addition to get tampons.

Now she had however managed to get back to the lab. The blonde slowly parked her car, got out and rushed inside. As she clicked the button in the elevator she sighed as she knew she now would be bleeding heavily for at least three days meaning no sexual activities on her end.

As the elevator doors opened she walked over to the reception and asked, "Any messages."

"Not today," said the receptionist.

"At least there is a relief," said Calleigh and smiled at her, which made her day at least a bit better.

"Well if it helps the case you should know Julia is in the break room," she said with a little smile.

"It surly do, thank you Judy," said Calleigh and smiled back before hurrying to find her better half.

Even from the distance Calleigh could hear Julia's happy giggles. She walked closer only to see Julia dancing with Natalia, both giggling. Calleigh raised a brow and walked inside saying, "And here I though you both would be working at this hour."

A very flushed Julia broke free and said, "I thought I come visit you during lunch hour as I needed to talk to you and Natalia kept me company while I was waiting."

"As long as that is all she was doing," said Calleigh.

"I better get back, see you later," said Natalia to Julia and quickly headed out of the room.

"You look a little pale, are you OK?" Julia asked, taking a closer look at her girlfriend.

"No, not exactly got my period on my way here and well not had the best day, you being here is making it a lot better though," she said and smiled at her.

"Glad to hear and sorry about you know, I'll take good care of you after work," said Julia, giving her a kiss.

"I have no doubt about that, so what did you want to talk to me about?" Calleigh asked her. Looking at her with wondering eyes, hoping there wasn't anything wrong.

Julia saw Calleigh's worried eyes and said, "Sweetheart, nothing is wrong, in fact everything is right, which is why I decided to buy you something which I hope you will like."

"Really what?" the younger blonde asked, as Julia could see the curiosity that was woken within her emerald eyes.

"This," said Julia handing her a box, by the looks of it it seemed heavy.

Calleigh smiled before opening it, only to find a brand new gun she had been wanting for ages and a ring with an emerald shaped like a heart. She gasped before looking at Julia asking, "What does this mean?"

"Well I've come to the conclusion that I love you about all and I want to spend the rest of my life with you, so Calleigh Marie Duquesne, will you marry me?" she asked as she got down on one knee.

"Oh my Gosh, oh my Gosh, oh yes," Calleigh exclaimed, dragging her up from the floor before kissing her as it felt like a dozen butterflies were fluttering around inside her.

Julia smiled and put the ring on her finger before she kissed her wife to be very gently. Never before had either of the two been happier. And what had started out as a very bad day for Calleigh had now turned around to be the perhaps greatest day in her life thus far.
