Summer In The City. CSI MIAMI FIC part 4

what a .....surprise!??

"Yeah congratz, bro! " Harry shook his hand
"How the hell..."
"Lt.Caine."
"Oh...so they all know...I hope they aren't all going to call... I don't like that thing."
"No...they know you. Now- sit comfortably and I'll make you a real CSI coffee".
Speed thanked and open the bedroom door, unbuttoning his shirt.
"CONGRATZ!!!!!! " He suddenly saw all of them- H. Cal. Eric. Ryan. Natalia. "Hey!! Congratulation. I knew you'll pass " Alexx approached with a bottle of champagne-" just this time and only a glass " she smiled.
"Thanks. "He smiled. A surprise party...hmmm. Nice of them but he'd like to be on his own. Because of what he has just heard. Wasn't in a mood to celebrate.
"Hey... Here's the present for you."
"Thanks a lot...you needn't have to..."
He opened it and it was a jacket.and a T shirt. With an engraving - CSI. When he put it up something fell out of it. His old ID. No, not old , he realized. It was this year's date. Tomorrow, to be exact. Didn't look like fake either. He looked at H.with surprise-
"I...I dont understand..."
"Welcome back". He said. He smiled mildly. "Welcome back in the lab, Speed. " Everyone started clapping, but he still didn't unterstand." But...how? "
"Belmontes is moving to Vegas. He's getting married there and got his acreditation yesterday. That's a window that lets me hire you ;) "
"But...."
"I set everything with the comissioner. As soon as your certificate is ready, you're welcome here. Alexx let you leave without the waiting period. "He still stood with no movement when Alexx approached and hold him. "I will miss you next to my side day by day, baby." He held her so much that she shouted "Tim! You'll break my bones! "
"Thank you for everything " he whispered before he let her go. "I'll never forget that."
H. Said- "I want you all to know that he got 97% at the writing test and 99% at procedures. Great score, Speed. Good to have you back!"
"Thanks. I don't know what to say. To all of you."
"Say no more. The champagne is ready" Eric shouted. They all moved to it and there was a lot of talking, lauging etc.
After two hours there were only three of them left. Harry went to the kitchen to do the washing up, and Eric and Calleigh sat with him on the couch.
"Like the old days my friend" Eric said. Calleigh nodded. "Yes,like all of this evil never happened."
"Yep. I have no words. I still don't believe you kept it secret. "
"We didn't know about Sam. He got the letter yesterday. I gotta be going folks. Cal, want me to give you a lift?"
"No, I'll stay a little bit."
"Hey Eric, can you take me to the city center? I need to buy something"  Harry asked from the kitchen.
"Sure. Better be going then"
Speed closed the door behind them and went to finish the washing up. "Hey, need some help?".
"No thanks. I'm done. Want some coffee?"
"Tea ,please. "
He prepared it and sat on the couch again.
"Mmm good " she smiled. "Now- tell me what's bothering you."
"Nothing. I'm just tired."
"Not true. I know you're tired too but that not it. It's her, isn't it?"
"...yeah. I'm worried."
"Why?"
"There are some issues there. I even contacted her, as Andre asked me, and talked to her, completely different person she seems to be. Danny Messer was in the jury today. He told me she took some days off, but been spotted at the doctor's."
"Maybe she's got flu?"
"That's what she told me. But I don't believe it. "
"What do you want to do?"
"I thought of going there, see for myself if it's ok. If it is fine, I'll leave her alone."
Cal nodded." It's been almost three months altogether since you barely spoke..."
"That's why I'm afraid she won't open the door for me. "
"When do you want to go?"
"Next weekend."
"Want me to come with you?"
"Would you?"
"Yes. I'm free then.I won't interfere anything you want to do by youself. Don't worry"
"Thanks. Friday then?"
"Yeah. "
The next few days passed quickly as he wasn't a regular lab worker yet. His certificate was to be sent on Monday so he worked with Alexx, killing time. He couldn't stop thinking of her- and was afraid of the meeting eye to eye.
On Friday he and Calleigh went to the airport and settled, that she will enter the flat with him and then will leave them alone. He got the address from Andre.
Standing in front of the flat he had a strange feeling. He wanted to see her, but on the other side he wanted to run away as fast as he could. There was a neat light in the window, then it moved to the next room. So she was home.
They pushed the button. The loud buzz sounded unpleasantly.
"Hello?" Her voice was silent
"It's me " Calleigh said
"Calleigh? What are you doing here?"
"Let me in Courtney. I just need to talk ok?"
".........Ok." The buzz appeared once again and the door opened.
When they climbed down the stairs, Speed stopped at the first floor.
"I can't Cal. "
"Yes you can."
"No. I won't enter there "
"What??!?! "
"Sorry. "
"Ok let's do it like that: I'll go in talk to her, tell her you're here, and call you, ok? And you'll come Tim Speedle!!!!"
"Ok."
"Promise you won't leave. I made  a favour for ya."
"I promise. "
She started climbing and entered flat 5. It was only 10 mins, but seemed 2 hours when the phone called. "Get in" she ordered. "Fast."
He came in and saw a small room. Small, but cosy and warm. There was a kitchen opposite the door and on the left there was a room. Calleigh took his hand and entered with him.
She was sitting on the couch,with  warm blanket covering her. Lots of napkins around. Tea and a small plate on the table. Looked like flu, just as she said.
She looked at him, scared. "Calleigh... I'll handle from here ok?" He asked quietly
"Tim... I think I'll stay."
"But we settled that..."
"Let her stay. Please. I don't want to be alone here."
"Why?!? " He said suddenly angry "are you afraid of me? Why? I never did anything to ya"
"I know. I..."
"It's better like that, Tim. Believe me. Sit down. "
He sat down on the armchair next to Cal. Looked at Courtney. His CSI eyes saw her unhealthy skin, sad eyes. Like tormented -he thought. She was so skinny, that her top showed the shoulder bones underneath. Hair, always clean and shiny was dirty and not combed. Looking around he saw nothing done- clothes on the chair, books lying everywhere.
"What's going on with you, huh?" He said a bit too harsh.
"Stop." Cal murmured. "Not like that."
"No, Calleigh it's ok. He's right."
"Of course I am. Look around, Cal. What a mess- you used to be so tidy it even scared me a bit. What's wrong?"
"I...I'm tired. I feel badly. I have no strenght to do it. "
"Well... Maybe you should ask somebody to help you? Andre maybe?"
"No. I want to be alone. "
"And the doctor?"
"Told me it's ok. "
"Really? I can see you're not ok. What a dickhead."
"Tim it IS normal in her state."
Calleigh said.
"Well, I don't understand. You're clinically depressed?"
"You're stupid, Speedle" Calleigh shook her head. "Look closer" She got up and took Courtney's hand. She stood up slowly and the blanket fell down. Speed looked at her with his jaw opened.
"Oh my God.... You're..."
"Yes" Courtney whispered." I'm pregnant."
