Okay so the first chapter has been beta readed over, and I reposted it. Again this is my first fanfic so I hope you all enjoy it and thanks for reading. I do not own any of the csi miami characters, except the ones that I make up in my story.

The story takes place right at the beginning of season nine, and of course in my story Calliegh and Eric are together. I don't like the whole 'I love you like family' thing they have going on. Anyways, I;m also putting a little R/N in here for the R/N fans =D!

Right now the story is rated T, but will be M later on in the story. Also you can go on my profile to see the other upcoming stories I have. I have a friend on here that has inspired me to do sequels, and her stories are amazing. Check her out, her name is HCrazy. I literally read her stories over and over again hahahahaaha.

Great thanks to LaneyDelko and Awesome Rapidash, who are my awesome beta readers. Also thanks to HCrazy, who inspired these sequels.

ENJOY =D!

"You know I've never been on this side of the beach before." Calleigh said while holding her lover's hand. She was wearing a blue halter summer dress that showed the right amount of cleavage, and her hair was blowing in the wind. Eric wore a black button down dress shirt with some nice blue jeans, which she thought he looked very sexy in.

"Are you serious? You live by the beach babe." Eric chuckled, wrapping his arms around her and giving her a romantic kiss.

"Well I always try to stay closer to my house….There's too many freaks around here." Calleigh smiled when they pulled apart and hugged him. She turned her body so it was facing the water, and the sunset. Her back was to his chest, his arms wrapped around her waist.

Eric started thinking this would be a good time to do it. They had just had a wonderful dinner at her favorite restaurant, La Loggia's, an Italian restaurant, and decided to take a walk. He had the little box in his pocket, but was pondering whether or not to pop the question. So he thought he might as well do it now, or he never would.

"Hey Cal….you know that I love you more than anything right?" Eric asked whilst

looking down at his beautiful girlfriend.

Calleigh looked up at him and nodded. "I love you too….more than anything." She became nervous wondering where he was going with this, but decided to let him continue.

"And you know that there's no one else I want to spend the rest of my life with" Eric said turning her around and reaching into his pocket. "So, I want to ask you if you would be honored in becoming Mrs. Calleigh Delko?" Eric said whilst getting down on one knee. He pulled the ring out, it was a beautiful diamond shaped in a square with small diamonds covering the sides. It was also engraved with the words 'I love you', but what was so unique about it was that it was engraved in Russian. He knew how she really loved how he talked in Russian, especially when they made love, and he wanted everything to be perfect for her.

Calleigh was speechless she couldn't breathe, she knew what she wanted to say. She was just shocked; no she was amazed and shocked. She didn't think Eric Delko would actually love her enough to really propose for her to become his wife, the person to spend a life with, have children, and grow old with while watching your grandchildren grow up. She smiled at him with tears in her eyes and nodded.

"Is that a yes?" Eric chuckled looking up at her.

"Yes Eric it is…Eric….Eric" Calleigh was still calling out to him, but Eric was confused why her face was getting blurry. Her calls became more urgent and louder, someone began feeling a small hand shaking him out of his slumberous dreams.

"Eric…..Eric babe you have to get up or you're going to be stuck in traffic." Calleigh said shaking him a little to get his attention. Eric looked around and realized that it was all a dream, and smiled thinking how wonderful it was. He did have a ring to propose to Calleigh, but he was meaning to talk to Horatio about getting permission first. Calleigh's father was doing worse with his alcoholic behavior and Calleigh was having trouble keeping him away from it. So, Mr. Duquesne finally got tired of it, and moved back to Louisiana with Calleigh's mother. He knew she would put up with the drinking, because she did for years. Eric decided to ask Horatio, because he was like a father to Calleigh and himself as well.

"Hey sleepy head." Calleigh smiled and leaned over giving him a kiss. It was sweet yet tender kiss.

"Hey….what time is it?" Eric said once they broke apart. He rubbed the sleep out of his eyes, whilst sitting up in the bed.

"It's about a quarter to six. I figured you wanted to get up early, and head out before traffic gets too bad." Calleigh said. She took in his appearance, and was just amazed at how beautiful he was. She starting thinking to herself about how lucky she was to have him. Eric wasn't like the other man she dated. John Hagen was rude, controlling, and had a temper like a bull. Peter Elliot was just a plain jerk, and a coward. Peter didn't know what he wanted, and he even tried to come back to her after his fiancée, Monica West, was put in jail. Jake Berkeley was a guy any girl would want to date just once. He's adventurous, nice looking, he reminds of you of the grease character, Danny, that you always wanted to date. That's how their relationship was; Calleigh was more of a Sandy, whilst Jake was a Danny. Jake wasn't a bad boyfriend it was just when it came to him going undercover. He didn't care what Calleigh wanted, or how she felt about waiting for him. He also put Calleigh's life in danger by seeing her secretly after his undercover jobs were over. That's one good thing Calleigh didn't have to worry about anymore. With Eric, Calleigh could tell him anything, because he was her best friend and also lover. Even though they had had their ups and downs, their love got them through it. She couldn't love anyone else the way she loved Eric, and if something happened to him she wouldn't want to live anymore.

Eric looked at her and knew she was thinking of something. He thought it was cute when Calleigh starting thinking, because her eyebrows would start to knit together. She would also bite her lip, which he noticed she does a lot when she is either thinking, nervous, lying, and when they made love. "Hey, what are you thinking about carina?" Eric said, knowing how she loved her little nicknames he always called her.

"How lucky I am to have such a wonderful boyfriend." Calleigh said smiling.

"No I am the lucky one Cal…what do you say about dinner tonight?" Eric asked, now getting out of bed and heading over to their closet to get some fresh clothes. After coming back from Puerto Rico, Calleigh and Eric both decided to take that next step in their relationship. Since Calleigh's place was bigger they decided that Eric would just move in her place.

"Dinner sounds nice, but where are we going?" Calleigh said moving off the bed.

"Nope…I'm not telling you a thing. It's a surprise carina" Eric said smiling. He pulled out a nice white dress shirt with some khaki dress pants. He turned around and was tackled to the ground by Calleigh.

"You know that I hate surprises…..can't you just tell me and save me the suspense?" Calleigh asked, whilst struggling to keep him pinned down. She had to be tougher with Eric, because sometimes he wouldn't let her win and she respected that a lot. Eric turned her over and pinned her down, and started kissing her neck. This made Calleigh moan and she loosened her legs around his waist. She thought to herself two can play this game. So she started doing the same as Eric, licking and nipping the spots she knew would make him crazy. Eric knew what she was doing, so he decided to grind his hips into hers. Their breathing became more frantic, and so did their grinding.

"Er….Eric….we uh…..we have to stop" Calleigh said through short gasps of breath. Eric didn't listen. He continued to take off his shirt, which was on Calleigh. "Horatio….is going to…to wonder where you are."

"There are plenty of things…..that I…I can tell him" Eric said between kisses. He didn't care what Horatio needed right now, because he was too preoccupied with Calleigh's neck. Eric continued his assault on Calleigh's neck until they were interrupted by his phone. Eric groaned in disappointment, and got off of Calleigh and grabbed his phone to see a text waiting for him. The text said 'DB in Everglades…needs you ASAP. H.' "Yeah….well it looks like you get your wish….we have to stop. I have a body in the Everglades, and I have to be there ASAP." Eric said. He helped Calleigh up and kissed her.

"Well we still have dinner tonight, and I could make reservations if I knew where we were going." Calleigh said giving Eric a glare.

Eric chuckled and gave her a smirk. "Babe even if I told you it wouldn't do any good."

"Oh? And why's that?" Calleigh asked.

"Because I already made reservations." Eric grinned at her shocked reaction.

"What? And what if I had said no…or what if I had other plans?" Calleigh asked. She figured he was bluffing about the reservations, but then he got that smug look that he wasn't.

Eric's grin got wider with every word she spoke. "For one I always know your plans because you tell me, and two…babe you can't resist me so you always say yes to me."

"That's so not true…..I told you no just not too long ago when you wanted to have sex." Calleigh said smiling.

Eric smiled at her; he loved it how she got so riled up over their little play fights. "So…uh…you want to take a shower with me or not?" He asked with one of his 'only for you' smiles.

Calleigh turned around so he couldn't see her grinning, but Eric went after her. She screamed in shock, and they both laughed it off. He had pinned with his arms around her, and Calleigh of course got out of it. They both somehow ended up on the floor lying next to each other out of breath.

"So…what about that shower?" Eric looked at Calleigh grinning.

"I hate you….come on." Calleigh smiled getting up.

"You don't hate me baby….you love me…..just like I love you." Eric said smiling and pulled her over for a kiss. They took their steamy shower together, and Calleigh made breakfast whilst Eric finished up getting ready. Once he finished he joined Calleigh in their kitchen. Their kitchen…He still couldn't believe that they lived together. This woman was his best friend and co worker, who didn't believe in dating other co workers. He changed her from that stupid rule, and now they're in love. Once he got to the doorway of the kitchen he stopped to take in the sight. There was Calleigh swaying her hips to her own tune she was humming. He came up behind her and wrapped his arms around her. She jumped at first, but then relaxed once she realized it was him.

"Jesus Eric!….You scared me." Calleigh smiled leaning into his touch.

"I'm sorry I didn't mean too. You're just so beautiful to watch, and I couldn't keep my hands off you." Eric said

Calleigh giggled. "Yes I can see that, and also feel. That reminds me that you need to get out of here. It's almost seven, and you don't want to get stuck in traffic do you?"

"That's a good idea, because then I could be with you." Eric said grinning. He pulled her back to him and gave a romantic kiss. They pulled away both breathing heavy. "Ok I'm going now." Eric smiled backing away from Calleigh now.

"Don't' forget your coffee." Calleigh said handing him his mug. Eric took a couple of sips and poured the rest down the drain. He rinsed the mug out and put it in the sink. They both walked to the door and he turned around to give Calleigh one last kiss goodbye. "So I might come by for lunch okay?"

"As long as you rest…I don't want you back in that hospital unless you're having my baby." Eric smiled. Not realizing what he said, he couldn't figure out the shocked expression on Calleigh's face.

"What….what did you say? Calleigh asked. She knew he wanted kids, but she didn't think he wanted them with her. I mean yes she read his file, but it was different hearing it in person. Eric now realizing what he had said didn't know what to say. For once in his life he didn't have any flirty comments to brush off the conversation that he had brought up.

Eric awkwardly chuckled. "I meant I rather you be in the hospital for something like that rather than something serious…I mean having a baby is serious I'm not saying it's not, because it is." Eric stopped once Calleigh busted out laughing.

"I'm sorry you just look so cute when you babble." Calleigh said grinning

"I just didn't want you to think that having a baby wasn't important to me, because it is." Eric said

"I know." Calleigh said blushing at his comment, "And I'm glad you think that, because I do too." She reached up to his cheek, and kissed. Eric turned his head to catch her lips. The kiss deepened and tongues began to battle. Eric pushed their bodies together, but Calleigh pushed him back. "No you got to go…now!"

"Yea…I'm going….I love you." Eric said giving her one last kiss.

"I love you too." Calleigh smiled after they broke apart. She watched as he walked to his car and got in. He waved and she blew him a kiss, and went back inside. She sighed and looked around smiling at some of the boxes that were still unopened from his things. "This is going to be a good day." She said to herself.

On the way to the Everglades Eric was listening to Calleigh's favorite station, Kiss Country, he loved that woman so much. He was going to talk to Horatio about the proposal, because he wanted everyone to be there when he did it. Even though Jesse won't be there, because of his death of the lab incident, he will be watching. He arrived at the Everglades and saw Horatio standing there waiting for him by the tape. He flashed his badge at the patrol officer and headed towards Horatio.

"Hey H."

"Hey…how are you?" Horatio asked taking off his sunglasses.

"I'm good….glad to be back." Eric said smiling

"Good…..and how's Calleigh?" Horatio asked grinning. He was happy for them; they were finally free to come out with their relationship since Stetler was arrested. He knew Calleigh could be a handful especially when she couldn't work, but he knew Eric could keep up with her.

"Uh…she's Calleigh…stubborn as hell. It took me those four weeks of vacation to convince her to stay home, but I wouldn't be surprised if she will be back working tomorrow." They both laughed at that comment. "So what have we got?" Eric asked walking with Horatio towards the body.

"A woman in her mid twenties….we don't have an ID on her yet. Tom said he would know more at post" Horatio said, "But I need you to go diving in the water to see if-"

"If there's any evidence that can lead us on the case, gotcha!" Eric said smirking.

"Yes sir." Horatio chuckled

"Alright, I'll let you know if I find anything." Eric said and went off to get his scuba gear out of his Hummer.

"Thank you sir." Horatio said before he took off. After Jesse's death, four weeks ago, Horatio was glad Eric decided to come back. He didn't want to have to replace them with a total stranger. Yes Natalia and Ryan were both good C.S.I's, but after finding out about Natalia being the mole and Ryan's gambling. It was nice to know he could have a team were he didn't have to worry how they would turn out. Even though the team missed Jesse dearly, Eric and Calleigh were the only family he had left. He knew Eric had some of his issues with bad girlfriends in the past, but he's changed and moved on with Calleigh.

Back at home Calleigh decided to start cleaning a bit and put Eric stuff where she thought it should go. It wasn't hard fitting his stuff in with hers, 'A perfect fit' she thought to herself smiling. She was in the bathroom when she heard a knock at the door; she figured it was Eric checking on her. She went to the door smiling, but when she opened the door her smile dropped.

"What are you doing here?" Calleigh asked shockingly.

Okay that's chapter one, hope you liked it. For those of you who have not read this chapter yet. Who do you think is at the door?
