A/n: I wanted to start another fanfic that would be ongoing. So I'm giving this plot a shot, as usual, the first chapter is short to test the waters and see if I should continue.

Summary: Calleigh is getting married, Horatio says he's happy for her but everyone knows he's a liar. The lucky man is Jake but Horatio begs to differ. Eric and company are going to help intervene but is Cali's life in danger anyway? Eventual Horatio/Calleigh pair.

Disclaimer: Not mine, so don't sure please.

My Love for You is a Journey

Summer was ending which meant the hectic summer cases of beaches and resorts would die down. Pun unintended. Jake Berkeley was currently walking up the Miami Dade Crime Lab steps to go see his fiancé. He and Calleigh had been dating on and off a lot since they met but now it was finally going to solidify.

He walked in and saw her chatting with Eric Delko. "Hey Cali, sweetie." Jake smiled as he snuck an arm around her from behind. She turned and her face brightened up.

"Hi Jake, Eric was just saying how happy he was for us." She said as Eric glanced off. It was quite the opposite. Most of the lab was against Jake and Cali getting back together, let alone getting married.

"Really now?" Jake smiled and kissed Cali's neck. "Or is Eric just jealous that I've got you on my arm?" He asked. If Jake knew better, he would know not to poke the beat with a stick.

"Nonsense." Calleigh said and laughed a bit as Eric turned to go, muttering a 'goodbye.' "So what brings you here?" She asked and looked to Jake.

"I just wanted to see you and make it official; I am no longer for ATF or anything related to criminal justice." He smiled, just hoping to sever all ties with the dangerous life he used to live.

"Good…though you being detective was really sexy." Calleigh teased and hugged him, giving his lips a small peck.

"Well I hope that we are still on for tonight." He said and held her close, not seeing Horatio walking over to the couple.

"Of course." Cali said and let go.

"Calleigh, have you process the bullets for the Anderson Case?" Horatio's voice spoke up. She turned to him.

"Oh no, I was almost done when…well…I'll go it do it now." She said and started back for the firearms lab upstairs. Horatio watched her go and then turned back to Jake and just walked past him.

"Well…I'll just see ya'll later then…." Jake said slowly and rubbed his neck, looking around. He had a puzzled look on as he went back out to his car. Eric saw all this and decided that time was running out, he had to help his friend.

"Hey H. Can we talk?" Eric spoke out and made his way over the Lt.

"Eric, what can I help you with?" He asked and turned to his friend of almost ten years.

"It's about Calleigh." Eric said.

"What's going on?"

"We can't do this now…" Eric said and looked around. "Let's just talk about it at lunch later okay?" Eric smiled; he knew that on several occasions, Horatio had expressed special affection for the fellow co-worker.

"Of course." Horatio replied and watched as Eric walked off. He personally didn't like the idea of Calleigh with Jake, Calleigh deserved much better.

( A/n: I know it's waaay too short but my idea is that Eric and the others help Horatio win Calleigh's heart. There will be action along the way as Jake's old ties with criminals come up and put Calleigh in harms way. If you think I should continue, please review. )
