Summer In The City. CSI MIAMI FIC part 4

going home???

"Yes. In 15 mins, yeah. Two people."
"Ok it's settled. Are you ready?"
"Yes. Calleigh, I'm leaving the second key in case you want to leave."
"Thanks. See you guys soon."
"Yeah. Court, take your documents and any medical files".
"Yes Tim"
They entered the taxi and came to the place 10 mins later. Dr. Brown was waiting in his office.
"Hello Ms. Walsh. Do come in. What's...and you are???"
"I'm Tim Speedle. I'm... the baby's father".
"Oh...better late than never... Sit down then Mr.Speedle". Tim sat in the corner.
"Let's get you checked. How's the weight?" Courtney looked at Tim.
"51 kilos."
"Geez, Court..." he said aloud.
"That's true. It's too little, with her height and being three months pregnant. She's not taking care of herself. Have you been vomiting yet?"
"Yes...all the time. With break for the sleep". Tim shook his head again.
"Did you take the pills I gave you?"
"Yes. Not helping much though."
"Do you drink a lot?"
"I'm trying."
"Let's check on the baby, ok?"
He lied her down on the small sofa and started to put gel on the ultrasound 
"Ok.... Here it is". Tim forced himself to stand up and have a look at the monitor.
The picture clarified and he saw a faetus. A moving faetus. The doctor was pushing gently on Courtney's belly to look closer. Then measured its head and body. Then turned up the volume to let them hear the heart rate. Tim was standing there and listening. What a strange feeling- to hear the baby's heart... As a scientist he knew, that the heart was heard few weeks ago, but it wasn't just a featus- it was his child.
He turned around and sat, while Courtney heard that the baby is smaller than normally at this stage, and it can happen so she shouldn't worry so much. Then he ordered her to leave and check the weight and the blood pressure with the nurse. Speed came closer and sat. 
"I wanted to ask you a question, doctor Brown."
"Yes?"
"I want to know if she can fly at this stage and in this condition".
"How far?"
"To Miami. I work and live there. I need her close to me if I want to take care of her...them".
"She should be taken care of much earlier, Mr Speedle".
"I didn't know about the pregnancy. I've just found out. "
"Oh... but you knew her... before?"
"I did. We were engaged. But we broke up and she left. Never said anything. Until I found myself today. I don't know if we last as a couple, but we will be parents, so I want to be a responsible one."
"Good. Here's the list of the tests she should undertake. Will you cope it?"
"I'll get the doc as soon as we're in Miami."
"Do it. Her state is serious. The baby's smaller than it should be.
I'm putting her on the sick leave from work. Does she work?"
"Yeah. We work irregular hours"
"I see. She must be regularly checked. And watched. I hope that with your help- she will find a peace of mind. Good luck. Here's your confirmation if the airlines want it."
Courtney entered the room
"So...can we go?"
"Yes. Good luck Ms. Walsh. In Miami then" he smiled.
"Thank you dr. Brown you let us see you so fast."
"No problem".
They left and sat on the bench in the park nearby.
"Are you cold?" Speed asked.
"No. I'm ok. Thank you for coming with me."
"Sure. You can fly straight away. I've got the confirmation and also your sick leave note for Mac. Do you want to deliver it by yourself? "
"Not really...can we send it? "
"Yeah. Don't worry. Let's get you packed and I'll call the airlines for ticket, yeah?"  They caught a taxi and went straight home. Cal wasn't there. Court was asked to put all the necessary things on the table and lay down. She soon fell asleep. Speed was putting her things into the suicase. He got three tickets for Sunday afternoon. It meant that they have to spend a night here. He asked Cal who just came back to look over her and left. He needed to see someone.
"Yeah, I'm here. Desperately need to see you. Yes... For one day....yes, saw her...where?...ok. In 20 mins ok? See you..."
He put his phone into his pocket and started running. A walk was something to do him good. After 25 mins he entered a small bistro.
She was sitting there, with a small cup of coffee, looking thru the window. Looked great... Just as  he remembered her. He's always admired her, actually
"Hi."
"Oh hi!" She hugged him, he felt perfume on her hair. "Why did you call me again? I thought we'll never gonna talk. You told me it's over...."
"Yeah. I know. But I had to come. And had to see you. You look great "
"Thank you. What are you doing here, huh?"
Tim ordered a cup of coffee and sighed
"I came here to see her."
"Why?"
"I don't know. Something told me to check on her".
"And? "
"She's really skinny"
"I told you. But doesn't want any help .She's kinda ill I guess"
"She's pregnant."
Her face changed, looking like his own from few hours before.
"Pregnant? But how?"
"Oh come on... You know how ;)"
"Oh yes... But how far?"
"12 weeks. "
"So it's..."
"....mine. Yeah".
She looked closely at him. Saw his tiredness, and tension.
"How are YOU Tim, in this situation?" She covered his hand with her.
Speed fought with himself. Fought hard,  but failed.
"I'm terrified!! I'm surprised and deceived.....Not by her of course but by life itself....I nevet wanted kids....I knew, that married couples have them, but thought that in years...all that mess...engagement...fights between us....problems at work...Andrew.... Then the exam...I got new job...she needs assistance...baby's too small for its stage...I need to organize everything somehow.....I'm actually quite shocked".
"Well, well- you did that on one breath" she smiled.
"Sorry."
"No, it's ok. Havent said that to anyone, have you?"
"No. You're the first one."
"Good. Cause you have to stay strong for her. I understand you're surprised like hell, but you have to. I'm proud of you Tim."
He looked at her with gratitude.
"Thanx Andre. I guess I needed it, although it's nothing special actually."
"Tell her I miss her. I really do". She said with concern." And I would have helped her if she had told me..."
"I know. I'm taking her back to Miami. To watch her."
"I know youre a decent guy Tim. Everything will settle out for you, you'll see... Will you tell your parents?"
"No." He said quickly. "It even will be hard to tell my friends..."
"Why? They will support you. Kids are a blessing..."
"...yeah yeah...a gift from god and so on..."
"Don't be cynical. They are. You'll see it one day. Stay in touch. I gotta go."
"I will.thank you. And....please dont tell your husband yet. We both need time to sort it out before he gets to know, ok? Can you?"
"Sure. I brought something small for Courtney. Will you pass it to her?" She gave him a small box. "And Tim- Have a safe trip. "
She hugged him and left.
He put the box into his pocket. Cool air of NYC hit his face, so different from Miami....in 20 mins he stood in front of her flat, thinking -Speed- want it or not, you whole life is going to change.
Entering he saw Calleigh and Courtney packed and ready to eat lunch.
"Come on, join us" Cal said.
"Well I'm not actually hun... Ok. I'm coming. "
