When you're gone
Chapter 3
Eric couldn't believe what he heard, Calleigh got a son? He took his phone and called Horatio. "H, can I ask you about Calleigh? Yeah it's kinda personal. Is she married? Uhmm, okay., a son. Thanks H."
He found out that Calleigh got a son, she didn't get married though. That left him wondering who's the father of her son, he thought of him as a lucky guy.
Calleigh reached home and found her 4 years old son lying on his bed. "Hey sweetie, How are you doin? Where's Regina?" She's reffering to her son's nanny. And as if on cue Regina entered the room.
"Ms. Calleigh, lo siento. I didn't know what happened, He sais he wanted to drink orange juice so I gave him. But after he drink half of it he started throwing up." Regina explained to Calleigh.
She gave her a reassuring smile. "Don't worry about it Regina. I'll bring him to the hospital to get checked out." Calleigh turned to Miguel, his olive skin looked pale. "Sweetie, you ready?" The kid tried to reached for her. Calleigh took Miguel to her arms and carry him to her car.
As they reached the hospital, Calleigh carried Miguel to the ER. The doctor checked on him and told them that Miguel have to stay overnight just for observation.
When they're in Miguel's room Calleigh received a call from Natalia asking about her Godson. Natalia promise that they will drop by after their shift.
Miguel's finally sleeping on his hospital bed. Calleigh stares at her son, he look exactly like his father except for his eyes. Miguel's eyes are like her, green.
Then she heard a knock. "Come in." She saw Natalia popped her head before really entering the room.
"Hi Cal, How is he?" She said in a soft tone. Trying her best not to wake Miguel up.
"Hey, he's okay. They're just keeping him for observation. Regina didn't know he drank the fresh milk in the fridge before he asked for orange juice, it upsets his stomach."
Natalia stand beside Miguel's bed. "He looks a lot like him. How are you gonna keep Miguel from him, Cal?"
"I don't know, Nat. I haven't think about that yet. I didn't expect him to be around. He was gone when i found out about Miguel."
Natalia took Calleigh's hand. "Well if you need us you know where to find us."
Then they heard another knock. "Come in." She thought it's Miguel's doctor but to her shock she saw Ryan, Walter and Eric comes in. "Oh my..." Her face turned pale knowing Eric is just few steps away from her son.
Walter forwarded and stands beside Natalia, almost blocking Miguel's face. "Hey, how's my favorite Godson?"
Ryan chuckles. "He's your only Godson, Walt."
They all try to supress their laughter.
"Mommy?" They heard Miguel's voice.
Calleigh sat beside her son. "Sweetie, how are you feeling?"
"Mommy my stomach got thunder earlier." Says Miguel. "Aunt talia, Uncle Wyan and Uncle Waltew are here." Then Miguel notice someone who's unfamiliar to him. "Who is he, Mommy? Is he you're friend too?"
Eric couldn't take his eyes off Miguel, it's as if he's looking at his old photo except that he got Calleigh's green eyes. Then he heards Calleigh's voice.
"Oh my gosh..." they all can hear the panic in her voice. Ryan moved beside Calleigh to give her support. "Hi, Eric." then she turned to Miguel. "Sweetie, meet your father.." then she turned to Eric again. "Eric, meet your son Miguel."
Eric walks towards Miguel's bed. Then stand in front of his son. "Hi son, we got a lot of catching up to do. You have to get better as soon as possible okay?" the kid just nodded at what Eric said. "buddy, me and your mommy have to talk 'kay, we'll be back in a while, for now you stay with your aunt anf these two funny uncles of yours." Then he took Calleigh's hand before she could protest and lead her out of the room.
When they reached the cafeteria they sat on a chair, Eric order coffee for both of them. "Cal, why didn't you tell me?"
Calleigh shakes her head. "You didn't give me a chance to tell you about him, remember, you're the one who left us. You're the one who decided that it's the end of us." Hot tears streamed down her cheeks. "I didn't mean to keep him from you, you left me no choice. I don't want to go to your parents just to ask about location.."
Eric took Calleigh's hand to his lips. "Cal, baby don't cry. I know it's all my fault. Forgive me. Can we still fix this?"
"I don't know, Eric. I won't stop you from seeing Miguel, it's your right anyway. But fixing us, I'm not sure. Maybe we can be friends for Miguel's sake."
Eric shifted to the chair beside Calleigh and touches her face. "It'll do for now, I still love you Cal, you're the reason I came back. Come on let's go back to our son." And he took her hand again and lead her back to Miguel's room.
I'll try to update soon.
