Disclaimer: I own nothing you recognise!
So here's the sequel to Scars of a Broken Childhood, you don't have to have read that to read this, but it would definitely make more sense if you did!
This chapter is quite happy, but be warned the rest is not so much, I rarely write anything that is completely happy. I've rated this T for the moment but it could become M rated. I also apologise for the shortness of this chapter, the rest will be longer, anyway I'll stop rambling, here you go…
Calleigh was so happy, the wedding was planned for a month from now and there was still so much to organise, most of it had been done, the outfits had been bought and Calleigh found herself trying her dress on all the time, it was so beautiful and she felt amazing in it. The church had been booked and the venue for the reception had been chosen, Calleigh was so happy Eric had asked her to marry him, she was still reeling, despite the fact it had been nearly six months ago. Her entire life she had dreamt of this, but the fact that it was actually happening blew her away, she couldn't wait to marry the man of her dreams.
Everyone at the lab had been so excited for them, horatio had given them his blessing explaining that he trusted them enough to not let it interfere with their work. Natalia and Alex were so excited and practically begged Calleigh to let them be bridesmaids, she had been planning a small wedding and wasn't going to bother with bridesmaids but they were so insistent she eventually agreed. Now she was glad she had, they had helped her out with so much for the wedding, from the dresses to the flowers and the menu, Calleigh didn't know what she would have done without them.
"You ready?" Eric asked making his way out of the lab, they had just solved a case involving the shooting of a sixteen year old girl, it turned out to be a case of mistaken identity although that didn't help the family much, they were left wondering why their little girl was gone and there was no reason for it.
"Yes," Calleigh replied, following Eric having to run slightly to keep up with him.
"What do you want for dinner?" Eric asked thinking they could get a take out on their way home.
"I'm cooking," Calleigh replied.
"You are?"
"Yes, is that ok?"
"Um, yes, sure, I just thought you couldn't be bothered, it's been a long day."
"I don't mind, I went shopping yesterday. Besides, we had take out yesterday and the day before."
"That's true," Eric said opening the door to his car, Calleigh walked around to the passenger side and climbed in. They had moved in together three months ago, Eric had practically been living in Calleigh's apartment anyway and so it made sense to sell his apartment and move in with her. They still had a car each, but took it in turns to drive to work each day as they had both insisted on keeping their own cars.
The drive home was uneventful and quiet, both Eric and Calleigh were tired, it had been a long day but at least the case was over now and they could get a decent nights sleep. Eric pulled up outside Calleigh's apartment block and made their way upstairs Calleigh opened the door and they both walked in.
"So what are we eating then?" Eric asked.
"It's a surprise," Calleigh said smiling before turning around to kiss him lightly on the lips, Eric deepened the kiss nibbling on her bottom lip, begging for entry, he wanted her.
Calleigh pulled away, "not now, we should eat," she said.
"We could eat later," Eric interrupted.
"No," Calleigh explained, "we're going to eat now, or at least when I've cooked we are."
"How about I go and get us some ice cream," Eric asked, "for after."
"Ok, that sounds nice," Calleigh said making her way into the kitchen, she wanted tonight to be perfect. Eric walked over and kissed her again before making his way out of their apartment.
Calleigh went about preparing the meal, she remembered the night Eric had proposed and wanted tonight to be as memorable as that, she wanted Eric to be happy, she had a surprise for him and she was a little nervous although she knew that once the shock had worn off he would be happy, wouldn't he? She kept rephrasing the words in her head, they all sounded the same to her, surely he didn't care how she told him, once he'd heard he was going to be a father, there was nothing else to think about. She kept herself busy trying to keep herself from being sick, she had felt fine until she had done the test two days ago, and it was like as soon as she knew, the baby knew she knew and was determined to make her know it, she had been sick too many times already and this was just the start, she was sure it wasn't this bad last time but maybe she just couldn't remember. Either way, she was pregnant and she was happy, she just hoped Eric would be.

So there you go, please review, I need to know whether to continue or not and I really like getting them, they make me happy I will update as soon as possible, but I am going to Turkey for a week on Wednesday so it probably won't be until I get back!
