the usual life of the CSIs becomes very tiring with the new psycho in the city. Even your worst colleague is a precious partner when it comes to catching a killer. Plus personal problems and joy of few makes everything harder and some are back in tr...
"Why the hell did you do it H? Why didn't you just ask me, huh?" "Speed... We're running short. We need more people. Sorry. And I've asked. " "Just not me, right?" "Calm down.. Speed, calm down!" He shouted and everyone had stopped in their place. "What's goin on?" Eric asked whispering, passing by. "NOTHING!! " Speed said in a loud voice. "Why don't you tell him?" Then he stormed out to the terrace. "Well? What did you do?" "I asked Courtney to come back for one or two weeks. " "What? She's pregnant, H. " "Pregnancy isn't sickness- that's what she told me. And wanna know what else she told me?" H. Raised his voice, what was very rare. "... That she will have the opportunity to see her husband at last. " Eric hung his head. "Would you let your wife, 33 weeks pregnant, work in a lab? With chemicals?" "I don't want her in a lab. I need her to read the results, make clear reports. She's got the same ability as Speed- they both write clear, short, methodical reports. Speed is scraping the bottom of the barrel, you and Calleigh too. Belmontes serves night shift and it's good if he finishes all his things on time, so nothing's left for Speed in the morning. We need her." Eric nodded and left. H. started walking to the terrace door. "Let me- Laura held his arm. I'll talk to him". H.nodded. Laura entered the terrace and saw Speed sitting on the stairs, thumping his leg nervously, head down low. "Hey." "Laura...it's not a good moment..." "It's a perfect moment actually Tim. Look at me." He did. "Why ate you so angry? " "You know why..." "Yes...all the precinct knows now, believe me. They all heard you shouting." "So what?? I don't give a damn." He became cocky and blunt in a minute. She sat next to him. "Your wife is a separate individual. Do you want her to stay at home with the baby? Stop working?" "No. She's too good at it to sit at home. But I don't want her to be put into danger. I don't want her to get hurt. " "She's gonna work in an office... No risk at that. She wants to be needed. Feel needed. " "I need her. Baby needs her." "When, Tim? When do you need her? You haven't been home for the last 72 hours...." "That's because- what??? 72? No way." "Today is Friday afternoon. You came Wednesday morning. So it's even more." "I'll slow down when the baby's born. Or when we catch this guy. We're close." "Maybe...you don't know that." "Come on, Laura. Leave ma alone. " "She's coming over here in an hour. Do you wanna face her like that? Shout at her? As you did with your lieutenant? Your actual boss? " He looked at her differently, like surprised. "No. Of course not. I'm worried about her. But I know she's the best." "So tell her that when she arrives. And go and talk to your boss. Quietly and...show some respect , Tim. You're 40 yrs old man, not a teen. And he's your boss, not your father." He looked at her. "You're right. Thanks. " He hug her. "It's impossible I'm saying this but it will be sad without you here." "Yes. 4 more weeks and I'm out." She smiled. "I'd love to see your baby but it will be better if she stays with her mommy a little longer than that." She left and Speed slowly followed. Entering H. Office he smiled a puppy smile. "Sorry H. I become too angry at times." "I know Speed. Im not angry. But this conversation is completely over." Speed heard the door opening and saw Calleigh entering. "She's here. " "Will you be good? " "Yeah. " They both left and he suddenly saw her. She was standing downstairs, not noticing them.

Gee... She looked like a million dollars. He brushed his hair a bit and H. smiled at him. "You look too nasty for her, Speed. Go and greet her. Politely. Understood?" "Yeah." He felt dryness in his mouth. "Hi " he said going downstairs. She smiled at him with concern.God.. She was afraid of him. His reaction to the news. He approached an held her. "You look....stunning, Court. I haven't seen you for 3 days..." "I'm here to-" "I know. I'm not happy about it but I understand. When did you buy that dress?I haven't seen it yet." "Few days ago. Do you like it?" "Love it. Actually, I like it so much, I'd like to be home now, with you..." he bowed and kissed her. "Tim... There are people here, come on." "Get a place you two " Eric said destroying the mood "hi Courtney. Now I see why he's keeping you home... " Speed looked at her, her shining face and suddenly understood what he's been doing wrong. "Court, you look beautiful. I..I 'll be delighted to work with you again. How are you feeling?" "Good as always. Sorry Tim but I need to see Horatio. Let's meet later." He saw her entering the elevator. He also saw the men's looks straight at her, even being pregnant didn't stop them. Shit, he thought, you're a loser Speedle. "Well well.... I'd like my wife to look like that at the end of the pregnancy " Tyler stopped next to him "you're lucky, man. " "I suppose I am... I need to go." He went straight into his lab. He just couldn't understand how come he missed it. He's a detective for goD's sake... She needed him so badly, and all he wanted to do coming home was getting some sleep. Well, tonite it's gonna surely change, with that dress of hers... "Tim? " Courtney entered. "A word?" " Sure. Let's go into the break room shall we ?" She sat on the couch and he made her some tea. "Everything set? " He asked. "Yeah.... You're not mad?" "I...I was. Not anymore. Just want you to be careful. And no driving. Someone will be taking you by car ok?" "There are buses, Tim..." "No way. My condition. No driving, no buses, no nightshifts" "Oh. Ok." She looked at his gloomy face "I need this job. I'm gonna go crazy if I stay longer. " "Hi guys-" the door open with a swung and Eric entered. "Your desk is ready. Just next to my lab" he laughed. "Keep out " Speed barked "or you'll have to deal with me. " "Sure, bro... No problem. Nice to have you back Court". He kissed her cheek and left with his coffee, giving Speed a cheeky look. "Gotta go." "Let me walk you ok?" "Sure. And please come back home. You need shower, fresh clothes and food. " "Yeah. I promise. Tonite. " "I'll be waiting for ya. I bought some items of underwear I want to show you" she smiled. "I'll be delighted to take them off you" "I hope so". She gave him a shiny look and left.
