Chapter 5: The perfect ending to an exciting day

Their little family celebration was interrupted when Calleigh's phone vibrates from the coffee table, so she excused herself and walked over to it, then after picking it up, she read a text that Grissom had sent her.

She smiled as she looked at the family. "Grissom just sent a text, his and Sara's son was just born, they named him Dylan." They smiled as she typed and sent 'Congratulations' to them.

Right after the message was sent, she had gotten another text message, so Horatio commented. "You're popular tonight."

They chuckled as Calleigh read the new message, then Calleigh smiled and said. "Oh my."

Horatio was going to ask in a concern voice, but since she was smiling, he knew it couldn't be bad. "What is it, Sweetheart?"

She looked at her family again, smiled bigger, and replied. "Dan had asked Natalia to marry him, she said yes."

After they clapped and cheered, the kids go back to eating, then as Horatio walked up to Calleigh, he speaks while she was typing and sending her response. "I don't think her answer would have been anything else, she loves him."

Once she sets her phone back down, she turned to him and wrapped her arms around his neck and replied. "I agree."

"Did you have any idea he was going to propose?"

Calleigh shook her head and replied. "Not a clue, he didn't say anything to me."

"And how do you feel about them getting married?"

She removed one of her arms, then cups his cheek and speaks while looking into his blue eyes. "I love it. They really deserve each other and they are good for one another."

He smiled, and after a peck on the lips, he replied. "I agree." He pulls back, takes her hand as he finished. "Now let's finish eating."

She smiled, then lets him lead her back to her seat, and after he helps her to hers, he goes and sits down next to her so they could finish their dinner.

After dinner was finished, they played a board game for family night, then when they were done playing a few rounds, Calleigh announced it was time for bed, and when Christy was about to protest, she told her daughter that the faster she went to sleep, the faster she gets to go back to school, so she just nodded with a smile and did what she was told.

After Josh was tucked in and kissed goodnight, Calleigh and Horatio walked out of his room and walked over to their daughter's room and stepped in.

They smiled as they saw Christy getting under the covers, and as they were walking closer to her bed, she asked. "Mommy, Daddy?"

Calleigh cupped her daughter's cheek as she replied. "Yes sweetie?"

She smiled as she looked up at her mom. "Can you make sure I get a sister?"

Calleigh and Horatio chuckled, then as Horatio kneeled down next to her bed, he asked. "What, you don't want another brother?"

She shook her head and replied. "I love them an all, but I would like a sister."

Calleigh removed her hand, then kneeled next to her husband and responded. "We'll see what we can do, ok?"

Christy nodded with a smile and replied. "Ok, but even if it's a little brother I'll still love him."

Horatio leaned toward his daughter, kissed her cheek and replied. "I knew you would, would you like to hear a story tonight?"

Christy yawned as she shook her head. "No, I'm kind of tired."

"Ok Princess, have a good night, love you."

"Love you too, daddy."

After Horatio stood up, he leaned down and kissed her forehead before stepping out-of-the-way so Calleigh can have a turn.

"I love you, Honey."

Christy smiled sleepily as she replied. "I love you too, Mommy."

Calleigh leaned down and kissed her forehead, then tucked her in, and after watching their little girl close her eyes to sleep, Horatio took Calleigh's hand and they walked out of the room, cracking the door behind them.

As they walked into the hall they see Kyle and C.J. standing close to the end of it and they smiled at one another, then Calleigh said. "Goodnight boys, I'll see you in the morning."

C.J. nodded. "Goodnight guys, love you."

Horatio smiled and answered for Calleigh and himself. "Love both of you." Then Horatio and Calleigh walked into their room, shutting the door behind them.

When C.J. and Kyle were alone in the hall, they looked at each other, then C.J. held out his hand and said. "I'm sorry for today, man."

As Kyle was shaking it, he waved it off and replied. "Don't worry about, I hear brother's fight all the time."

C.J. chuckled a little as they release hands. "You know, I think I heard that too." Kyle chuckled back.

They did find it a little funny that since they started living in the same house they didn't really fight, so today's mini blowup was a first for them.

Kyle smiled, then replied. "Just know that I'll always have your back."

"I know, I just lost sight of it for a bit."

Kyle nodded. "Well, love can make you do that."

C.J. smiled as he looked down. "Love? Well I don't know about that."

C.J. knew without a doubt his feelings for Brenda were really strong, but he wasn't sure if it was love yet because he hasn't been there, except for family members, but he knew that was different.

Kyle nodded, realizing that C.J. was probably right, so he corrected himself. "Ok, how about a very strong like."

C.J. looked at Kyle with a smile and replied. "Aright, I'll agree." Kyle nodded again, then C.J. continued. "Well I better get some sleep, I'll see you in the morning."

"Yeah, see you in the morning."

After they smiled at each other, they each went into their rooms, which was across from one another, and closed the doors behind them.

Once Horatio and Calleigh were ready for bed and were laying down next to each other, Calleigh moved so she was laying on his bare chest. He then wrapped his arm around her shoulders, laying his fingers over the thin strap of her night-gown, they sighed in content before she commented. "What a day."

He smiled as he kissed the top of her head and replied. "I agree." He kissed her head again before he continued. "And I'm so happy."

She smiled as she places her hand on top of his chest. "I am too, I was a little afraid that our new miracle wouldn't have happened."

He speaks softly this time. "And how would that have made you feel?"

She sighed as she ran her hand up and down his chest. "I would probably have been sad for a while." Then she gets a small smile on her face as she continued. "But then you would lift me up by doing or saying something to make me remember that, although having another baby meant a lot to this family, it wasn't everything because we are still lucky enough to have four beautiful children to love."

He smiled and replied. "You think I could do that?"

She doesn't hesitate. "I do, really just your presence lifts me up."

He kissed her head again and replied. "I'm glad."

She smiled again, then asked. "How would that have made you feel?"

He sighed, wrapping his other arm round her like he was protecting her, then replied. "Well like you, I would have been sad, but then you would come and do or say something to make me remember that, although a baby would have been very much welcomed and loved in this family, it wasn't everything because we were lucky enough to have four other children to love."

She smiled because he pretty much said the same thing she did, then she asked. "I do that for you?"

He moved his chin down while moving one of his arms from her to lift her chin up so he could see her, then he said with sincerity. "Calleigh, you really don't even have to say a word to lift me up because when I see love in your eyes and that beautiful smile, I know I'll be alright." She smiled as she lifts her body up, then she leaned down and kissed him, which turned a little passionate.

When they pulled back and got their air back, he asked. "So when did you think you could be pregnant?"

After she looks into his eyes, she replied. "It actually started out with the little things, like you know this morning I didn't feel very well, which I knew part of it was nerves for our daughter, but deep down I should have figured it was more than that. I also got a little light-headed when I sat up this morning before getting out of bed." He looked at her with concern, but she just placed her hand on his cheek and continued. "I've been a little more emotional, which again I know it had to do with Christy going to school but I know it wasn't all of it. Then the clincher was the combination of getting sick at a crime scene and Alexx making an offhand comment about pregnancy. All of those symptoms really got me thinking, so after leaving work, before getting Christy and Josh, I went to the store to get a test, and as they say, the rest is history."

He didn't even pause when he asked his next question. "So at lunch time you had a strong feeling, didn't you?" She nodded a little with a smile, then he continued. "How come you didn't tell me then? Or wait for me to do the test, I would have been there for you."

She nodded her head, then spoke as she ran her thumb up and down his cheek. "I know that, but a part of it was I didn't want to disappoint you, I knew that another baby meant a lot to you and I couldn't bear the thought of your sad face if it turned out it was false hope."

He gave her an understanding look before asking. "And what was the other part?"

She smiled a little bigger, then replied shyly. "I really couldn't wait." He chuckled as she continued. "When it started to really click in me that it could be happening, I couldn't wait anymore, so I'm sorry you missed out on that. But I'll have you know I haven't told anybody else yet about the news because I wanted you guys to know first, no matter how much I wanted to shout it out into the world."

He smiles as he cups her cheek, then as he slides his thumb up and down it, he looks at her with unconditional love. "It's ok, Sweetheart, yes it would have been nice to be there for you when you took the test, but I'm here for the rest of the milestones, and that's all that matters in the end." She smiled with a nod, then after a peck on the lips, they turn out their lamps on the nightstands before she gets comfortable with her back towards him.

A few seconds later he wraps his arms around her from behind, laying his palm on her stomach, now knowing their little one is growing stronger each second in there.

After kissing her head, he whispered. "So what would you want this time?"

She smiled. "Well we already have a vote for a daughter." They chuckled before she continued. "But honestly, I'll be happy with either because I know I'm going to love him/her so much, no matter what it is."

Yeah she already has more sons then daughters, but what she said was the truth, plus she'll love any baby where Horatio is the father.

"I agree, any baby that I have with my beautiful wife I'm going to love not matter what."

She secretly smiled because it was like he was reading her thoughts, which wasn't uncommon these days, then after she feels another kiss on the head, she said. "Goodnight Handsome, love you."

As she slips her fingers through his, he brings her closer to him. "Sleep tight Sweetheart, love you too."

They close their eyes with smiles on their faces, then their last thought before they succumbed to sleep in each other arms was, what a perfect ending to an exciting day.
