Chapter 9

2 months later

Before they knew it their wedding day had approached.

Too early to get up! Horatio thought as he turned to shut his alarm clock off. Noticing the empty space beside him he was reminded that Calleigh has not stayed at home last night. As much as Horatio would have loved to wake up the day of his wedding beside his soon to be wife, Calleigh has opted to be old fashioned and stay at Alexx's house.

Getting up out of bed Horatio headed for the shower. Even though the wedding wasn't until one o'clock he still had some last minute things to take care of, including picking up his son Kyle at the airport. He remembered telling Kyle about his impending marriage to the southern bell and has asked his son to be his best man, assuming Kyle was able to take leave to do so. Kyle couldn't have been happier for his father and guaranteed him that he wouldn't miss it.

"Calleigh are you okay in there" asked Alexx as she lightly knocked on the bathroom door which was currently occupied by the bride-to-be. Looking at her watch Alexx noticed that Calleigh had been in there for awhile and was beginning to get concerned.

Slowly the door opened and a flushed Calleigh appeared.

"Oh baby doll what's wrong?" asked Alexx as she guided Calleigh towards the bed to sit down.

"I just got a phone call. I knew something was wrong and I know what the test said but I just can't believe that it's true" Calleigh said as she continued to look down at her feet.

"Who called you Calleigh? What test?" asked Aelxx.

"I hadn't been feeling well the past few weeks. I thought it was just stress and nerves because of the wedding but that isn't the case" she answered.

"Baby girl, what's going on?"

"Alexx...I'm pregnant" Calleigh whispered as she brought her head up to look at Alexx.

"Pregnant! Are you sure" asked Alexx trying to keep her excitement at ease.

"Yes. The doctor just phoned me to let me know the test results were in. I thought Horatio and I were being careful because we've never really discussed having children. And today we're getting married and..."

"Honey, its okay. Horatio will be more than happy to hear the news. He didn't get a chance to be there when Kyle was young. You and I both know that he'll be there 100% for you and this baby" Alexx said as she pulled Calleigh into her arms.

"I know. I'm just surprised that's all" whispered Calleigh.

"Honey?"

"Yes Alexx?"

"Congratulations!"

Smiling Calleigh continued you the hug. "Thank you."

Pulling back Alexx wiped away the tears of joy from Calleighs eyes, "Now let's get you ready to get married."

"DAD!" an estatic voice called as he hurried through the opening towards the lobby of hte airport.

Turning around Horatio saw his son Kyle rushing towards him.

"Son, I'm glad you could make it" said Horatio as he looked at his son. He looked so grown up, now a young man who was making a difference.

"I told you I wouldn't miss it" answered Kyle as he dropped his bags and pulled his father into a long awaited hug.

"I missed you Dad" Kyle whispered into his father's shoulder, enough so he could hear.

"I miss you too son" answered Horatio as she placed his hand on the back of his son's head.

Pulling back Kyle smiled, "So are you ready to get married?" he asked.

Smiling Horatio picked up his son's dropped bags, "more than ever" he answered as the two headed towards the waiting hummer.

Horatio and Kyle arrived at the wedding ceremony shortly after leaving the airport. They decided to get dressed at the hotel where the ceremony/reception would take place. As Horatio looked out the window of the room he smiled, he saw the archway on the beach with the waves crashing into the shows. Chairs had been placed accordingly as well as a white sheet that had been laid out down the aisle with red rose peddles spread throughout it.

"You ready dad?" asked Kyle as she straightened out his tie.

Turning to face his son Horatio smiled. "Yes I am. And before I forget, keep things until we're ready" he answered as he handed the small valvet box to his son.

"Wedding ring?" asked Kyle. Horatio simply nodded as he placed a hand on his son's shoulder and guided him towards the archway outside.

"Calleigh are you almost ready? The guests are arriving and there is someone here to see you" Natalia said as she entered the "brides' chambers".

"I think so" answered Calleigh as she took one final look in the mirror. "Who is it?" she asked only to turn to see her father standing there.

"Just me lamb chop. You look beautiful as ever."

Calleigh rose from her seat and hurried towards her father, pulling him into a hug tears began to form in her eyes. "I thought you said you couldn't make it" she asked.

"And miss my only daughter's wedding. Not a chance" he answered.

"Come one don't cry. This is supposed to be the happiest day of your life" he continued as he wiped a few tears away from Calleighs face.

"Tears of joy I promise" she said.

"You ready?"

"I don't think I could possibly wait any longer." Nodding Calleigh wrapped her arm through her father's as they headed towards the beach.

I never had no one that I could count on
I've been that down so many times
I was tired of hurtin' so tired of searchiin'
Til you walked into my life
It was a feelin' I'd never known
And for the first time I didn't feel alone

As the music began to play the guests rose from their seats and looked towards the back of the aisle. Horatio lifted his head to see his beautiful bride gracefully walking down the stairs towards the beach with her father. Cathing her eye, Horatio couldn't help but smile. Horatio was in heaven.

You're more than a lover
There could never be another
To make me feel the way you do
Oh we just get closer
I fall in love all over
Every time I look at you
I don't know where I'd be
Without you here with me
Life with you makes perfect sense
You're my best friend
You're my best friend

"You're one lucky man dad" whispered Kyle as he noticed his father's reaction upon seeing Calleigh.

"Don't I know it" Horatio whispered back as she continued to smile and keep eye contact with Calleigh as she slowly approached.

You stand by me you believe in me
Like nobody ever has
When my world goes crazy
You're right there to save me
You make me see how much I have
And I still tremble when we touch
And oh the look in your eyes
When we make love

As Calleigh and her father approached she looked at Horatio and smiled.

"You look beautiful" he mouthed to her.

"Who gives this woman to this man" the priest asked.

"I do" her father answered as he placed a soft kiss on her cheek. Horatio nodded at the older man and linked his arm with Calleighs.

"You may be seated." The minister started as he looked at the happy couple.

"Family and friends we are gathered here today to take part in the most time-honoured celebration of the human family, uniting a woman and a man in marriage. Horatio and Calleigh have come to witness before us, telling of their love for each other. We remember theirs is a love whose source is the affection of those who loved them into ." the minister continued.

You're more than a lover
There could never be another
To make me feel the way you do
Oh we just get closer
I fall in love all over
Every time I look at you
And I don't know where I'd be
Without you here with me
Life with you makes perfect sense
You're my best friend
You're my best friend

"We remind them that they are performing an act of complete faith, each in the other; that the heart of their marriage will be the relationship they create. In a world where faith often falls short of expectation, it is a tribute to these two who now join hands and hearts in perfect faith."

"Horatio, will you receive Calleigh as your wife? Will you pledge to her your love, faith and tenderness, cherishing her with a husband's loyalty and devotion?"

"I will. Calleigh I take you to be no other than yourself, in all the ways life may find us, tending you in sickness and rejoicing with you in health, as long as we both shall live to love."

"Calleigh, will you receive Horatio as your husband? Will you pledge to him your love, faith and tenderness, cherishing him with a wife's loyalty and devotion?"

"I will. Horatio I take you to be no other than yourself, in all the ways life may find us, tending you in sickness and rejoicing with you in health, as long as we both shall live to love."

"Can we have the rings please?" asked the minister.

Reaching into his pocket Kyle opened the small velvet box and handed the white gold ring to his father. As he was doing so, Alexx did the same and handed Calleigh the ring for Horatio.

"Here you are sweetie" whispered Alexx as she handed the ring to Calleigh.

You're more than a lover
There could never be another
To make me feel the way you do
And oh we just get closer
I fall in love all over
Every time I look at you
And I don't know where I'd be
Without you here with me
Life with you makes perfect sense
You're my best friend
You're my best friend
You're my best friend

"This circlet of precious metal is justly regarded as a fitting emblem of the purity and perpetuity of the Marriage State. The ancients were reminded by the circle of eternity, as it is so fashioned as to have neither beginning nor end; while gold is so incorruptible that it cannot be tarnished by use or time. So may the union, at this time solemnized, be incorruptible in its purity and more lasting than time itself."

Taking Calleigh's hand in his Horatio places the ring on her finger, "Calleigh wear this ring forever as a symbol of love and peace and of all that is unending" said Horatio.

Taking Horatio's hand in hers she placed his ring on his finger, "Horatio wear this ring forever as a symbol of love and peace and of all that is unending."

"Now you will feel no rain, for each of you will be sanctuary to the other. Now you will feel no cold, for each of you will be warmth to the other. Now there is no isolation for you. Now there is no more loneliness. Now you are two, but there is only one life in front of you. Go now and enter into the days of your togetherness. Sir you may now kiss your bride!"

Smiling Horatio stepped towards his bride and placed both of his hands on the sides of her face, "I love you" he whispered as he leaned down and placed his lips on hers.

Pulling back Calleigh smiled, "I have a surprise for you" she whispered.

Horatio looked questionably at his new wife, "What's that sweetheart?" he asked.

Looking at their friends cheering them on Calleigh looked back at her husband and took a deep breath. "I'm pregnant" she whispered.

Horatio was at a loss for words. He had just married the love of his life and now she was carrying his child. What felt like an eternity passed before Horatio was able to say anything.

"Horatio are you okay? Are you happy?" a concerned Calleigh asked.

Finally Horatio came out of his daze and pulled Calleighs face towards his and smiled.

"I couldn't be happier" he whispered as he placed a sweet but yet passionate kiss on her lips.

"Ladies and gentlemen may I now present to you to Mr. And Mrs. Horatio Caine." the minister finished with cheers filling the air in front of them.
