Chapter 16
A soft knock sounded
on Horatio�s open door and he looked up from his paperwork. He
smiled softly at Samantha. Just yesterday he had found out this
beautiful woman carried his child. And unless he was mistaken,
Samantha was coming to tell him how her parents had taken the news.
�Hi.� Horatio said
softly. �Come on in. Shut the door please.�
She smiled briefly and
did as he requested then moving to the front of his desk and sitting
in the open chair.
Horatio
looked up at her with concern. �Did you tell them?�
She
shook her head. �No.�
Horatio
sighed. Setting down the pen he�d been holding he stood and moved
around the desk to kneel in front of Samantha. He reached out and
took hold of her hands. Squeezing gently, he tilted his head and
smiled at her. �Samantha honey� I know this is going to be hard
for you to do. But I�m going to be here for you, ok? I�m going
to be right here with you.�
Samantha
nodded and took a deep shuddering breath. She squeezed his hands for
support. �I know.� She took another deep breath. �Do you
mind if I use your office to call them now?�
�Of
course I don�t mind.� Horatio said quietly. A knock sounded
suddenly from his office door. �Yeah?� He called out in
response.
The
door opened and Alexx peaked her head inside. Her kind brown eyes
scanned the room a moment before falling on Horatio kneeling before
Samantha. She smiled softly. Horatio�s eyes left Samantha and
turned to Alexx. �You wanted me to let you know before I started
my prelim on Charles Benson?� Alexx asked.
�Yes,
thank you Alexx. Umm� is there any way I could get you to hold up
for a bit? I have something else that requires my attention.� He
squeezed Samantha�s hands gently as his eyes flickered briefly to
her face before going back to Alexx.
Alexx
beamed in response. �Of course, Horatio. Just pop on over when
you�re ready.�
�Thank
you, Alexx.�
Alexx
turned to leave Horatio�s office. Just before she shut the door
behind her, she poked her head back into the office. �By the
way�congratulations.� She shut the door behind her before
Horatio could react.
Horatio
smirked and turned his surprised eyes back to Samantha. �Nothing
gets passed that woman does it?�
Samantha
smiled sheepishly. �She found me sick in the bathroom this
morning. I guess she filled in the blanks from there.� For what
seemed like the hundredth time that day, Samantha let out a deep
sigh. �Well� as pleasant as that distraction was� I need to do
this.�
Horatio
shook his head. �No. We need to do this.�
Horatio
rose from his kneeling position and moved to pick up the cordless
phone. Leaning against the front of his desk, Horatio handed
Samantha the phone. She took it with slightly trembling hands.
Dialing the number before she could find an excuse not to, Samantha
held the phone to her ear and listened. Four rings later, Samantha�s
mother picked up the phone.
�Hello?�
�Hey
mom.� Samantha said cheerily. Her voice betrayed none of her
anxious and fearful emotions, but Horatio could read them clearly on
her face. He considered taking her hand again, but knew that while
this was something she needed him there for it was also something she
needed the strength to do on her own.
�Hey
Sammy. How are you?�
�I�m
fine mom. Is dad around?�
�Yes
he�s here. Did you want to talk to him?�
�Yes.
Well� I need to talk to you both actually.�
�OK.
One second, Sammy.� Samantha heard her mother distantly on the
phone as she tracked down her father. A soft click followed by her
father�s hello let Samantha know the time had come. It was now or
never.
�Hi
dad. I�� She sighed, her voice trembling slightly. �I have
something I need to tell you both. Horatio and I are seeing each
other---.�
�---
You�re dating your boss?� Deb�s voice interrupted.
�---
Yes mom. But please, let me finish.� Horatio watched helplessly
as Samantha�s confidence threatened to give out. �I�m
pregnant.� She blurted. The responding silence on the other end of
the phone was deafening. Samantha waited for one minute. Then two.
After the start of the third minute, Samantha became worried.
�Hello?�
�Yeah.
Yeah I�m here.� Samantha�s father responded. She heard him
sigh. �Your mom�s going to need some time to process this,
Sammy. She�s not on the phone anymore. Geez Sammy� I�m just�
surprised is all.�
�I
know daddy.� Samantha whispered meekly.
�Is
Horatio with you now?�
�Yes.�
�Let
me talk to him.�
Horatio
watched Samantha�s surprised expression as she held out the phone
to Horatio. �My dad wants to talk to you.� Horatio couldn�t
stop a brief wave of panic from passing through his body, but he
quickly regained his calm and took the phone from Samantha.
�Hello,
Don. Yes, sir.� He paused, listening intently to Don on the other
end of the line. Horatio lowered his head, his voice dropping to a
whisper. �I plan to, sir. Yes. I do. All right, sir. Goodbye.�
Samantha
watched Horatio hang up the phone and set it gently down on the
desktop. �What did he say?� Samantha asked anxiously.
�Uhh�
he said that he will give you a call later tonight. And that he
would talk to your mother.�
�Oh.�
Samantha crossed her arms. �What else did he say?�
Horatio
knelt again in front of Samantha. �Your parents love you,
Samantha. Everything is going to be ok.�
Samantha
threw her body forward and embraced Horatio in a tight hug. He
wrapped his arms around her inhaling the scent that was so uniquely
Samantha. She sighed and whispered softly. �I don�t deserve
you.�
Horatio
closed his eyes and let her words sink in. No woman had ever made
him feel this way before. He pulled back from her, kissing her lips
softly. �I�ll never deserve you.� They smiled. Horatio
cocked his head slightly. �We should tell the team. While I trust
Alexx to be discreet, I�m fairly certain the puzzle pieces have
started coming together for the rest of the team as well.�
Samantha
nodded. �When should we tell them?�
�No
time like the present. Come on.� Horatio stood and pulled
Samantha gently to her feet. Leaving her hand clasped in his,
Horatio lead Samantha out of his office and through the busy halls of
the crime lab in search of his team. If Horatio and Samantha noticed
the strange looks as they walked through the lab hand in hand, they
chose not to dwell on them. The lab would know of their relationship
soon enough. And while handholding didn�t usually make the front
page on the cover of �MDPD Gossip Weekly�, it certainly turned
enough heads to see Horatio Caine in such a position.
The
couple rounded the corner and came into view of the main reception
area, noticing Delco and Wolfe talking over a case file outside of
interrogation one. The two turned in unison, their eyes moving from
the couple down to their clasped hands. Both of them smiled.
Samantha
blushed slightly. She couldn�t help but feel like the luckiest
woman alive to have secured the affections of Lieutenant Horatio
Caine. Her stomach flipped slightly and she unconsciously placed her
free hand over her belly. Whether it was nerves, pregnancy, or both,
the gesture didn�t escape the attention of the two young CSIs.
�Gentlemen.
Would you mind stepping into interrogation one please? I�we have
something we�d like to talk to you about.�
�Sure
thing, H.� Eric responded as he and Ryan walked into the room,
Samantha and Horatio following behind. Eric and Ryan sat down at one
end of the table, watching with some amusement as Horatio helped
Samantha into a chair as though she were made of precious glass.
Remaining standing, Horatio moved behind Samantha and placed his
hands on the back of her chair.
�Gentlemen.
Uhh� let me just get right to it.� He paused a moment.
�Samantha and I have become involved in a relationship. And�
she�s pregnant with our child.�
Small
sputtering noises issued from both Eric and Ryan before they managed
to shut their mouths. Horatio smiled softly and chuckled. �I dare
say I had much the same reaction when I found out.� He squeezed
Samantha�s shoulders gently.
�Wow.�
Eric finally said. �Wow. I�m just --- wow.�
�Congratulations.�
Ryan said sincerely.
�Yeah.�
Eric nodded. �Congratulations. I couldn�t be happier for both
of you. Truly, H.� He focused his gaze on Samantha. �Motherhood
suites you, Sam. You�re positively glowing.�
Samantha
blushed. �Thanks, Eric.� She turned to thank Ryan as well, but
noticed his gaze had turned towards the lobby. His expression was
best described as stunned. Horatio noticed his expression as well
and followed his line of site to the lobby. His eyes opened wide at
the site of the petite blonde woman.
Eric
finally turned along with the others. He gasped in shock.
�Calleigh?�
