The following morning, when Calleigh awoke, she heard Emerald talking to Timothy. "I's ells ou Timity, Ernie is a bad og, and whens ou get bigger, hes jumps all ovr ou, but i's gonna potect ou fom im, I pomise". Smiling at her daughter, she watched and listened, as Emer played big sister.
"Emer....where is daddy"? "E's dessing Oreo". "Oh...and are you all ready for school"? "I's is mama, I's ant to spend ome time with Timity". "Emerald...let's go love", called her daddy. "Oming daddy", kissing her brother and mommy good bye, she ran down the stairs.
Getting up, Calleigh nestled Timothy. "Hey little handsom, don't you think you have such a wonderful big sister, such a lucky boy you are, for not only that, you have the wonderful name, of a great friend who was always strong, smart, sensitive, and carefree, and I can see you being just like your Uncle Speedle, yes, I can".
Baring her breast, Calleigh thought back to the days, Tim was alive, and how he filled their scenes, with his light hearted sarcasm. "God Speedle I miss you, cried Calleigh, as she caressed her sons cheek, while he fed. "Sweetheart... you okay"? "Yeah, just thinking back to the old days, with Speed, it's still so hard to believe he's not here". "I know love, I know, I feel it at times myself, but then I think, he's never really left, he's here, watching over all of his team".
Smiling between her tears, Calleigh whole heartedly agreed. "Here love, I'll take him for a while, you go ahead and have a shower, we'll be fine". Kissing her husband, and her son, she walked into the washroom. "Such a wonderful, beautiful mommy you have, you know Timmy, I loved your mom since forever, I knew way back, that she would one day be my wife, unfortunetly, it took her almost dying, to figure that out, but now, now our love is so strong, and filled with so much joy and love, from you children, we are truely blessed Timothy.
While Timothy continued to sleep, his daddy went on and on, about how his Calleigh, changed his life.
