When You're gone

Chapter 6

Calleigh froze in front of Eric for a while then she replied to him. "I have to prepare breakfast. I have to wake Miguel up so he, we won't be late." She took her robe and walks to the bathroom, she came out after few minutes then she heads to the kitchen.

She prepared some pancakes and sausages, Miguel's gonna love it. She walks towards Miguel's room to wake him up. When she opened the door she saw Eric sitting beside Miguel, he's trying to wake him up.

"Hey, buddy. Mami is waiting for us, she cooked breakfast for us." Says Eric.

Miguel sits up from his bed. "What's for breakfast, Papi?"

Calleigh speaks up. "Well, I made some pancakes and sausages. I know you love that, sweetie." She walks over to Miguel without looking at Eric. "Let's go? You don't wanna be late for school, don't you?"

Miguel shakes his head and reached for Calleigh, but Eric quickly scooped Miguel from bed and the three of them heads to the dining area.

After breakfast the trio prepared to go to school and work, after few minutes they left the house. They dropped Miguel to school then they heads to Miami Crime Lab.

Calleigh kept her mouth shut the whole journey to the lab. She can see Eric from the corner of her eyes, he keeps on looking at her as if he wants to say something.

"Okay, Eric spill it out." she burst out.

Eric pulled over to the roadside. "What's wrong with you? It's very clear to me that you're still attracted to me, maybe you still love me."

"So, what's your point? I admit, I'm still attracted to you but now you wanna talk about love!? Oh, I don't think so Eric!" She yelled at him. "You're the one who left, Eric so don't expect me to just take you back with arms wide open!" Tears started to swell from her eyes.

Eric reached for Calleigh. "Cal, sorry... It's just that I want us to be like a real family. I still love you, I already told you that remember?"

"And I told you to give me some time! I remember telling you that we'll just have to wait and see." She snapped at him. Tears rolled down to her face. "Please, Eric. Just let me be. Isn't it enough that you're living with me and Miguel, that we have to share one room?"

"What about last night? You responded to my kiss." Eric look at Calleigh intently then reached for her hand.

"Eric, just give me sometime please, I don't know what to say about last night." She pulled her hand back. "Can you start driving? We're going to be late." she faced the window.

Eric started the car and continued to drive to the lab.

Calleigh puts the pen down and took her lab coat off, she have to pick Miguel up and send him home. She walked out of the lab and heads to the locker room to get her purse. She remembers that she didn't bring her car to work. She looked for Eric to borrow his car or take the key of one of the hummers. She found him at AV lab with Dave.

"Eric, can I borrow your car? I have to pick up Miguel, He'll be staying with Regina 'til we get back from work." She truned to Dave. "Hey, Dave, how are you?"

"I'm great, Calleigh, anyway I have to go, I'm having lunch with Maxine." Says Dave then he left.

"Cal, I'll go with you. We'll pick him up and then we'll have lunch together, how that sounds?" Eric grinned at Calleigh.

"Let's go then. Your son hates waiting!" She rolled her eyes. "Oh, and please tell him no pizza for lunch."

Eric smiled at Calleigh and held her hand. "I will." Then they left the lab with Eric holding Calleigh's hand.

There you go. R&R please
