She was tired, she had decided to work overtime to try and get this case over with. She felt bad however, because once again she cancelled dinner on Eric. She knew that he could tell that she was avoiding him on purpose, but she couldn't help it. Her parents were in town and if they knew she was dating Eric and that she was pregnant, they would throw a fit. She knew that it wasn't smart to keep this from Eric but she did not want to hurt him. She sighed as she felt the exhaustion of the day's work on her shoulders. She hunched over again to begin her notes when she felt strong hands on her shoulders, she moaned thinking that it was Eric. She turned around in those arms to see the face of Peter Elliott. Calleigh opened her mouth to scream but no sound came out as Peter leaned in to kiss her, capturing her lips in breathless kiss. She tried to push him away, tasting the liquor on his lips, but he was stronger and held her to him with no sense of relinquishing her. Calleigh thought he would not pull away, when all of sudden he did. She looked up at him and saw he was not looking at her but above her shoulder. She turned to look and nearly cried when she saw Eric looking at them with darkest glare she had ever seen. She could see the tears that threatened to fall down his cheeks and she knew that she had destroyed the one thing that was actually going right in her life. She opened her mouth to call out to him but no words came out, instead the loudest sob escaped her lips and she felt her legs give away as she collapsed to a heap to the ground.

Eric had had enough. Calleigh canceled on him again. She was avoiding him and he was sure of it now. For what reason however he didn't know. Eric was walking to the building; tonight he was going to find out why the woman he loved was avoiding him. Tonight he was going to fix it and get his woman back. He stopped right outside the door of the building and reached into his pocket. The ring he had bought was weighing heavily in his pocket and until he put it on her finger it would continue to feel that way. He was going to propose tonight, he was going to ask Calleigh to spend the rest of their lives together. He wanted; no he needed her in his arms, in his life for the rest of eternity. He grinned as he thought, 'Well I planned a romantic dinner, but what better place to propose than the first place we met.' He continued into the building with a slight hop to his feet. He was walking humming a tuneless song in his head and was walking by the trace labs to head down to the gun lab, when he saw a flash of blonde caught his eye. He stopped and took another big breath and headed to the trace lab. What he saw caught his breath. How could this be? How could this happen? His Calleigh was kissing another man. He gasped and felt the sting of tears in his eyes when he saw that it wasn't any random man, it was Federal Agent Peter Elliott.

He felt like he wanted to collapse. He couldn't move; he couldn't get the strength to walk away before one of them noticed he was there. He couldn't understand what he did to push her to want to be with Peter. What did he do wrong? He wanted to die. The pain in his heart couldn't possibly heal from this kind of pain. He looked back up to see that Peter was no longer kissing Calleigh but was staring at him. He could tell Calleigh was surprised by the way her shoulders and the rest of her body tensed. He saw her begin to turn around and the greatest of anger that Eric had ever felt was written all over his face. He saw the gasp and the beginning of the tears on Calleigh's face instead of hearing. He saw her open her mouth but he knew no words would come out. What could she possibly say to him now, she was caught, and this was the end. The ring felt to heavy in his hand and he felt it slip from his grasp. He all of sudden felt the strength in his legs and he walked away, not realizing that he left the ring on the floor. He had to get away before he saw anymore. He walked away not knowing what to think or do.

Calleigh felt like she was dying. Why did this always happen to her, why did she always ruin the things in her life that was actually good? The man that actually had owned her heart for years, the man that made her feel like she was beautiful, that she was a good person, the man that was the father of her child. Oh God, why? She needed Eric, she need him to forgive her, she needed him to hold her and tell her that everything would be okay. She felt someone trying to pull her up, but she resisted, she knew it wasn't Eric. He was a lot stronger and would've pulled her up already, even with the resistance on her part. Finally the person pulling her up got her to stand up. She stared into the eyes of the man that ruined her life. She glared at him with all the hatred that was in her body. His face turned to anger when he saw her glare. He tried to force a kiss on her lips again when he felt her bite his lip with her teeth. He pulled away quickly to spit the blood from his mouth. He turned back around and swung at Calleigh with his fist closed. Calleigh didn't see it coming but she felt it as his fist connected with the side of her face. Calleigh hit the ground and she felt the tears come again as her cheek swelled and the blood fill her mouth. She barely heard Peter call her a 'bitch' from the side. Her blood was rushing her ears and she kept praying that she was back in Eric's arms right now.

She felt pressure on her body and she looked up to see Peter straddling her. He was clawing at her shirt. 'No God! This can't be happening. She already lost the man that she loved, why did this have to be happening? Calleigh tried to push him off of her. He was so heavy; she tried to claw at his face, anyway to get him to rise off of her slightly. She finally was able to scratch his face. She barely had any clothes on left but she didn't let that deter her. She slammed her knee as hard as she could into Peter's crotch. She could her that groan and felt him fall back. She felt to weak to move but she knew she had to. She crawled from under his body and went straight for her gun. She turned around to point it at him when he blind-sighted her and grabbed for the gun. They wrestled for it for what felt to Calleigh as forever. They kept at this until one of them accidentally pulled the trigger; that sent a shot ringing into the air. The shot shocked Calleigh and she accidentally loosened her grip on the gun. It was all Peter needed to hit her back to the ground again. He smiled sardonically as he point the gun back at Calleigh. Calleigh cried as she realized that she lost the man she loved and was about to lose the child that she and Eric created together.

'Damn it! I forgot the ring! I have to go back. Hopefully they're gone.' He walked slowly back to the office when the shot rang out. The first thought that went through Eric mind was 'CALLIEGH!'
