[INT - CRIMELAB - DAY]
Cut to:
(Shot of the morgue.)
Cut to:
(Shot of victim, Sylvia King laying
on the table.
Alexx is just finishing up the post,
as Calleigh, Ryan and Eric look on.)
ERIC: Didn't see you at the scene, Cal.
(Calleigh shakes her head.)
CALLEIGH: Aww, you missed me! I just
had a headache. I'm okay now.
RYAN: Hope so.
(Calleigh gives him a look, smiling and raising
an eyebrow.)
ALEXX: Alright you three, Sylvia can't wait around
forever...
(The 3 CSIs hang their heads in mock shame.)
Well, cause of death is a bullet through her stomach.
Penetrated her diaphragm... lodged in her stomach wall...
She bled out...
(Alexx picks up a pair of forceps, and pushes into Sylvia's
opened-up stomach, searching for the bullet.
Camera pans over Eric and Ryan as they watch.
Camera cuts suddenly to Calleigh, her eyes wide, and her
face pale.
She clutches her stomach, leaning against the table, her
breathing quick.
Alexx stops her ministrations, looking at Calleigh.)
ALEXX: Calleigh? Cal, are you okay?
(Calleigh shakes her head, bracing against the table.)
ERIC: Cal, you look pale...
RYAN: Calleigh?
(Calleigh covers her mouth with her hand, turns and runs
out of the morgue, the door swinging behind her.
The others look after her, in complete confusion and shock.)
ERIC: Woah! What just happened?
RYAN: No idea... since when has the sight of someone's insides
made Calleigh sick?
(Alexx looks at the two of them, shaking her head.)
ALEXX: You know, if I didn't know any better, I'd say that was
morning sickness...
Cut to:
(Eric and Ryan snapping their heads to look at her, bug-eyed.
Alexx chuckles mysteriously.)
RYAN: ... Uhh... Is Calleigh... do you think she's...
ERIC: (shaking his head) Man... who do you think... ?
ALEXX: I don't know, but whoever it is...
(Fade out to camera panning through the lab.)
ALEXX: (v.o) ... he had better take care of her.
(Camera moves to the bathroom.)
ERIC: (v.o) Or he'll have to deal with us...
RYAN: (v.o) All of us.
(Stall door opens, as Calleigh walks out, her footsteps
heavy.
She looks in a mirror, pushing her hair behind her ears,
giving a sigh.)
White flash to:
(Shot of Calleigh in black and white, holding a white plastic
strip.
Her eyes widen, as she drops the strip, and slides down the
door, until she's sitting on the floor.
Close-up as she stares at the strip, breathing heavily.
Close-up of the strip, which is coloured blue.)
White flash back to:
(The present, as Calleigh looks in the mirror.)
CALLEIGH: I'm pregnant.
(FADE TO BLACK.)
COLD OPEN
(Shot of Miami.)
Cut to:
(Wide shot of a house, panning in slowly.)
Fade in to:
(Interior shot of a bedroom, as Calleigh sits in front of
her dressing table mirror.
Camera pans around her slowly as she unties her ponytail slowly,
pushing her fingers under her hair.)
CALLEIGH: Is all of this real? For all I know I could be dreaming,
and could wake up any minute...
Cut to:
(Shot of black shoes walking across a carpeted floor.)
CALLEIGH: (v.o) All my most treasured wishes... finally coming
true...
Cut back to:
(Calleigh talking, brushing out her hair.)
CALLEIGH: Who doesn't want to be a mother? Who doesn't want
a child?
Cut to:
(The man walking up the stairs, his hand on the banister.
We don't see his face.)
CALLEIGH: (v.o) Every girl dreams of a family...
Cut back to:
(Calleigh getting up, walking across her room, stretching her arms
above her head.
She catches sight of her reflection in her full-length mirror.
She lowers her arms, placing her hands on her stomach.)
CALLEIGH: But am I ready? Can I say I'm able to care for this
baby?
Cut to:
(Man walking down the hallway.
We see the glint of a badge on his hip, and the flash of an I.D.)
Cut back to:
(Calleigh facing her reflection, her hands rubbing her abdomen.)
CALLEIGH: My job... this life I've made... it's all about to change...
it's happening.
Cut to:
(Door opening quietly, as the man comes in, silhouetted by darkness.
He shuts the door quietly.
Calleigh still stares at her reflection, glancing to her left for only a second,
a small smile on her face.)
CALLEIGH: I'm going to be a mother...
Cut to:
(Man taking off his jacket, hanging it up, and unclipping his gun and badge.
He lays them on the bedside table.)
CALLEIGH: (v.o) I'm so happy...
Cut to:
(Shot of her as she looks down for a moment.)
But I'm also afraid...
(She looks up again.)
Cut to:
(Man walking over to Calleigh.)
Cut to:
(Front shot of Calleigh, as she smiles, shutting her eyes.)
CALLEIGH: But I know I'm not alone...
Cut to:
(Calleigh's waist as a pair of arms warp softly around her.
Calleigh rests her hands on his, as he gently rubs her stomach.)
CALLEIGH: You're here... with me. And I love you so much...
(Camera moves up, to reveal Horatio standing behind Calleigh.)
HORATIO: (whispering) I love you too. And I'm here... for always.
(He kisses Calleigh's temple, and Calleigh smiles.)
HORATIO: How are you?
(Calleigh looks down, squeezing his hands lightly.)
CALLEIGH: I'm fine. Just a little tired...
Cut to:
(Horatio resting his chin on her shoulder.)
HORATIO: Alexx told me you were sick again...
(Calleigh nods.)
CALLEIGH: Hmmm... it's all part of being pregnant, Handsome.
HORATIO: I know... I wish I could make it go away.
CALLEIGH: (smiling) Aren't you sweet?
HORATIO: I mean it, Cal...
(He kisses her neck, as Calleigh sighs softly.)
I would do anything just to see you smile...
(Calleigh leans her head back.)
CALLEIGH: Mmm, Horatio... just you saying that makes me smile...
(Horatio continues to kiss her neck, and Calleigh brings her hand up
to tangle in his hair.
She turns around to face him.
Horatio stares at her intently, his head tilted sideways at her.
Calleigh takes his hands in hers, and kisses the backs of them gently.
Horatio watches her, as she brings his arms around her waist, pulling
him close to her, and she wraps her arms around his neck.
Horatio shuts his eyes, exhaling softly, meeting Calleigh's eyes, before
leaning down to kiss her tenderly.
He pulls back, but Calleigh raises up on tip-toe, pulling him back to her.
She kisses him more, before jumping up into his arms.
Horatio holds her tight, as he carries her over to the bed, laying her down
in the centre.
They continue to kiss passionately, as Horatio kisses Calleigh's left shoulder,
his face in her hair.
Calleigh sighs softly, biting her lip as she smiles.)
CALLEIGH: I love you.
(Horatio looks in her eyes silently.)
More than anything in the world.
(Horatio fingers her hair, his other hand cradling her head.)
HORATIO: I love you too...
(He kisses her again, moving down her neck, to her stomach.)
I love both of you...
(Calleigh smiles, her eyes watery, as Horatio holds her hands, his head
resting on her stomach.
She threads her fingers through his hair, as they lie together.)
Cut to:
(Calleigh's soft smile as she says...)
CALLEIGH: Our baby...
Cut to:
(Horatio closing his eyes, smiling as a tears creeps down his cheek.
He opens his eyes again.)
HORATIO: (whispering) Our baby...
(FADE TO BLACK.)
