Tim rolled over and wrapped an arm around Calleigh's waist. She smiled and turned so she was facing him.

"Hi." she whispered.

"Hi." he whispered back, kissing her forehead lightly. He kissed a trail down to her lips.

"Birthday!" Gabby squealed, running in. "My birthday!"

She crawled between Tim and Calleigh, who reluctantly moved away from each other.

"I want presents." she announced, her green eyes boring into Tim's brown ones. He just stared at her.

"Why should you get presents?"

"My birthday Daddy."

"So?"

"I'm three now!" (Yes Gabby speaks very intelligent for a three-year-old. Lol)

"Really? Well... maybe later then."

"Now!" Gabby whined and rolled over to look at Calleigh. "Momma, I want presents!"

"Hmm... I don't know." she said in a teasing voice. "Daddy, should we give her a present?"

"If we must." Tim sighed. "You have to find it first though."

Gabby quickly scrambled off the bed and ran downstairs, looking all over for her birthday present.

"I think we were rudely interrupted." Tim smirked, pulling Calleigh back to him.

"Mmm... Happy Birthday." she leaned in and kissed him. They lingered there for a minute before an excited squeal filled the house.

"DADDY I FOUND!"

Tim laughed and sat up.

"Come on."

S/C---------

"Thanks for taking her Eric." Calleigh said.

"No problem. You kids be good now you hear?" he smirked. Calleigh gave him a look and stroked Gabby's dark curls.

"Me and Daddy will see you tomorrow okay? You're gonna have fun with Uncle Eric and Aunt Val tonight and be good."

"And Anna?"

"Well Anna may be sleeping but sure I don't see why not if she's awake." Calleigh smiled, kissing her forehead.

"Let go." Gabby squirmed in Eric's arms and he put her down. She ran into the living room where Tim and Horatio were still talking. "Daddy!"

Tim glanced down and smiled as he picked Gabby up.

"I go with Uncle Eric." she said.

"You're leaving?"

Gabby nodded vigorously. Horatio laughed gently.

"I'm gonna get going myself. Happy Birthday Speed."

"Me too!" Gabby smiled. Horatio smiled back and kissed the top of her head.

"That's right. Happy Birthday sweetheart."

Tim followed Horatio out to the door, where he hugged Calleigh good-bye.

"I'd like to get a move on." Eric complained. Tim rolled his eyes and Gabby mimicked him. "Oh dear God there's two of them."

"Bye Daddy." she smiled sweetly. Tim smiled and kissed her forehead.

"Bye angel." he set her down on the floor and Eric took her hand.

"Come on. Aunt Val is gonna make popcorn. Watch some Star Wars right?"

"Don't let her watch anything violent." Calleigh called after them. She heard Eric say,

"Your mom's a worrywart."

Calleigh sighed and closed the front door. She turned around and looked at Tim, who was leaning against the wall. He smiled at her and she returned it, wrapping her arms around his neck.

"Have a good birthday?"

"Yeah." Tim nodded, kissing her softly. "We can, however, make it better."

S/C-----

"I think that's the first time we've done something and haven't gotten interrupted at all." Tim smirked. Calleigh laughed, running her fingertips up and down his bare arm lightly.

"I think you're right." she agreed.

"I think I am."

"You always are."

"I know." Tim said, making Calleigh lift her head off his chest. Their eyes locked and Tim pulled her face even with his and kissed her tenderly. "I love you."

"I love you too. Mmm..."

"Mmm what?"

"You're gonna say I didn't have to but I got you another present."

"Baby, you already got me a lot and spent too much."

"I didn't spend too much. Just a 1.99 to get wrapping paper." Calleigh winked, going through the bedside table. She pulled out a small, wrapped present and held it for a second. "I was waiting till after everything calmed down to give this to you."

Tim took it from her and stared at it.

"Did you get me an empty box?" he teased. Calleigh smirked but shook her head. She leaned over him and turned the light on.

"Open it." she ordered gently. Tim nodded and took his time unwrapping the gift.

"Is it jewelry?" he tried to sound excited but in all honestly the only piece of jewelry Tim would wear was his wedding ring.

"No."

"Thank God." he mumbled in relief. Calleigh smiled and watched him as he lifted the white top off the box. Tim stared into the box, his mouth hanging open slightly.

"Tim..."

He looked up at her and Calleigh leaned over and wiped a single tear off his cheek.

"You... you're pregnant?"

She nodded, her own tears forming.

"I love you Calleigh. God, I love you so much." Tim pulled her back to him and kissed her deeply. "How many... weeks or months or whatever are you?"

"Six weeks. I found out yesterday. Remember I came in late to work."

"Wow... we're gonna be parents again."

S/C------

"You gotta be really quiet Gabby." Tim said, hoisting her up into his arms.

"I wanna see Momma."

"We are."

"Really?"

"Mhmm." Tim got out of the elevator and headed towards Calleigh's room. He opened the door quietly and Gabby wiggled out of his embrace and ran over to Calleigh.

"Momma!"

"Hey baby! Have you been good for Daddy?" Calleigh smiled up at Tim as he lifted Gabby up onto the bed. She nodded and hugged Calleigh tightly.

"I miss you."

"I miss you too."

"I want you home."

"I'll be home soon." Calleigh promised. She looked up as a nurse walked in, a transparent bassinet in front of her.

"I saw Tim walk past and figured you'd want the little one." she smiled. "This must be Gabby. Your mommy has told me a lot about you and how you're very excited to meet your little sister."

She nodded.

"Is she here?"

"Yes she is." Tim smiled, gently picking the newborn up. Calleigh moved over slightly and pulled Gabby with her.

"We gotta make room for Daddy." she explained seeing her daughter's confused look. Tim sat down and Gabby peered into the bundle of blankets in his arms.

"Gabby, this is Lindsay." he said. She stared down at her sister, their identical eyes connecting.

"Hi." she said quietly. "She's so tiny."

"So were you when you were her age." Calleigh said, stroking Gabby's hair lightly. "You gotta remember she's only a few hours old. So you like her?"

"She's okay." she shrugged. Tim leaned back against the bed and Gabby scooted forward so she could watch Lindsay some more. Calleigh looked over at him and stroked the side of his face softly. He kissed the palm of her hand and sighed against her warm skin.

'I love you.' she mouthed.

'I love you too.' he mouthed back.

"Well, well, well," Eric's voice filled the room, bringing the couple back to reality. "There's a scene I'd never thought I'd see... Tim Speedle surrounded by three beautiful ladies."

"And they're all mine."

S/C------

Tim cracked one eye open when felt Calleigh crawl into his arms.

"Where'd ya go?"

"I had to feed Lindsay." Tim heard Calleigh's voice crack and he was fully awake in a minute.

"Hey... baby, what's wrong?" he asked as she rolled over.

"Nothing." she sniffed as Tim wiped her tears away. "I just... I was watching her and I kept thinking back to when Gabby was a baby..."

"Yeah? Why the tears?"

"That was just some year."

"I know..."

"I mean, for three months I had to raise Gabby alone and then you're back and everything's fine again then December came and it was like... we stepped into the Twilight's Zone or something. And I just... I realized how close to dying I was, how I almost did."

"Cal..."

"And I know I'm acting stupid. It was three years ago and we've moved on but I need to know that if anything ever happened to me you'd be okay, that you'd look after Gabby and Lindsay."

"Yes, you know that but nothing's gonna happen to either one of us again. Okay?"

Calleigh nodded and Tim kissed her. They lay in silence until Tim finally heard Calleigh's breathing even out. That had been one crazy year but everything turned to be fine and it was going to stay fine. At least Tim hoped so...
