A new life Sequel To A Kind Of Life CSI MIAMI fanfic

Cal

"What? What are you saying??"
"He's alive. After a bad accident"
"How'd you know? Are you sure?"
"Yes, Calleigh, I am. You've heard Eric. "
"How long did you know?" She asked angrily
"For a week, by accident. I couldn't believe it either, when I heard him changing his voice. "
"Why didn't you tell us?"
"He didn't want you to know."
"Really?why?we're his friends."
"He wasnt sure who hunts him, and when we found out, he wanted me to promise not to tell you, unless everything's alright. He was afraid of you grieving once again. And Calleigh? He wanted to tell you, that he's cleaned his gun properly since dispo day. For you to know- that he learnt his lesson from you."
I smiled-
"I was sure he did. But it looked so obvious for some people... He wasn't....he isn't the guy, that made the same mistake twice.
"I'm so happy I'll see him..."
"Calleigh... We must be prepared for all possibilities... Let's hope everything will be ok."
Yes... All possibilities... I knew what he meant..but I couldn't imagine this pain anymore. Nobody knew how much I grieved, how many nights I was crying my eyes out... How many times I regretted I shouted at him or ignored him... How many times I wished I had told him how important he was to me...
I understood it at the funeral.
I saw his parents for the first time, and I wanted to come to his mother and tell her 'where were you when he was shot? Stopped eating? Alone? Where was your husband when he got promoted? Finished uni with honours? Lost his best friend?' Even my drunkard father was present when I got my promotion,  took me to the restaurant, bought me dinner. Eric was surrounded by his family-sisters, parents, I had my dad, H had Yelina and Ray, and Alexx had her husband and kids. He had no one but us. And he was ripped over from us...
"we're here, Calleigh"
I got out of the car and ran to the ICU unit, leaving Horatio far behind me, as if it was important to hurry up. I opened the door and couldn't believe my eyes. I wanted to hug him, and even kiss him, but the machine was inside his mouth, pressing air into his lungs. I sat on the chair with suddenly weak legs. I heard H talking to someone- a young girl, who appareantly knew Tim. Pretty -I thought- and young. Too young for Speed.I greeted her and felt a sting of jealousy..
What if she's involved with him? So young- I couldn't compete with that...she said goodbye and left.
"Who was that? "
"Speed's boss" Eric chuckled" and a recent girlfriend apparently"
"How old is she, for Gods sake?
24-26?"
" I don't know. But I always knew you had a good taste in women , mate" Eric addressed Speed.
Eric and H laughed and I've suddenly heard the beeping of Tim's heart going faster and faster...
All the machines went crazy and they started to beep so quickly that the sound almost made me deaf. The door opened, and there came nurses and a doctor. "everybody out" one of them shouted. They pushed us out of the room, and thru the small window we could see Tim's body moving in seizures, and his heartbeat going faster and faster.Then the beeping went into a long constant sound.
"He stopped" shouted the nurse abruptly. Then the man with defibrillator hurriedly rushed inside. I saw the doctor loading the plates and shouting' CLEAR'!His body moved upwards and fell, still nothing on the monitor.
I saw Eric with horrified expression, murmuring 'Come on man! Come on!!'
I was standing there speechless, watching his body raise again and fall down lifeless..
Then I heard the beeping again... Slow, but steady... Oh God.
I fell on my knees, as my legs refused to keep me straight.
"Cal!Cal!it's ok ! Ok! He's back!"
Eric helped me, and I stood up watching the nurses leaving, and the doctor checking his parameters. Slowly he left the room, and H asked "what's going on?"
"He stopped as you saw... It can simply happen, when someone's at such a condition. We checked his heart before, and there is no damage to it, so it's very probable it comes from the head injury. It can happen again, unfortunately. "
"So You're saying..." started Eric
"I'm saying, that it can be temporary, or be the straight way to the worst. We don't know. However it's clear, that we cannot wake him up from coma yet. It's too early."
"Does he hear us? Feels the touch? "
"We dont know, Ma'am. People say, that they felt someone's presence while being sedated. You can always try..."
"Thank you doctor."
"Be of good faith. People get better after worse injuries."
"Can we... "I whispered
"Yes. But only for a short while. We need to apply sedatives. So 5 minutes. "
"We'll be outside "said Horatio "join us there."
I nodded and entered. Sat down next to him and took his hand.
"Please, fight " I said looking at his lifeless body "please, fight for me. For Eric. For Horatio. This one time fight like many times while doing your job at trace. I'm still here and won't let you go. Please fight, so I could tell you how much I care..."
I squeezed his hand and kissed his cheek. Then I turned around and saw troubled Eric, with a puzzled look.
"C...calleigh?"
"Yeah, I'm coming. "
"I didn't know, that you..."
"Me neither Eric. Unless I lost him months ago. What shall I do now? "
"Have a coffee with me. And lets talk."
