Oh that's great news. Every child is a blessing, especially after his accident.
Pictures of guns on her PJ, huh? Now that would be funny ;D A very nice chapter Sam. Keep it up.

@ sandra - i had a feeling someone might pick up on the big news before she announced it! the bit with the wine was a bit of a giveaway.
@ jess - thought about anna and hugh's future even though we leave them behind in london when we go back to miami. i thought long and hard about what i could do with them before we leave them behind. it seemed the right thing to do esp after hugh's accident as they needed something to look foreward to.
@ margaret - i have one more installment before we go back to miami. it will be a short one but it will add closure to this story.
when we get back to miami, it's going to get interesting! got alot going around in my head with this story. its keeping me preoccupied alot!
i might bring them both to miami sometime but i haven't got that far yet!
glad you all enjoying it!! luv sam x

What do you mean, "You MIGHT bring them BOTH to Miami"? You're not telling me something gets wrong and either H or Calleigh has to stay in London, now do you Sandra

Sandra: I think Sam means Hugh and Anna with "both", but maybe I'm wrong.. Jess

yes i do mean anna and hugh! sorry for the confusion, sandra!
okay, here's the final installment of London.
hope you've all enjoyed reading the story as much as i've enjoyed writing it! i'm still brainstorming the next story so you'll have to bare with me. got loads of ideas but just got to write them down. until next time, enjoy! luv sam x
The sun beamed through the spare room window. Horatio opened his eyes to see Calleigh fast asleep and snoring quietly. He hadn’t noticed the snoring before but he thought it was cute. He put his arm around her and drew himself close to her. Calleigh didn’t stir, just laid there fast asleep. He heard his stomach growling. Time for some breakfast, he thought. He kissed Calleigh on her head and got out of bed and got dressed. He took one look at the camp bed and decided to fold up the linen and collapse the bed. Calleigh still slept. Horatio stood and watched her for a few moments and thought how peaceful she looked. His stomach growled even more. Breakfast. He left the room and quietly closed the door behind him.
When he entered the kitchen, Anna was already up rushing around getting herself ready for work. “Oh, good morning Horatio,” she cheerfully piped, “did you sleep well?” Horatio smiled, “very well thanks.” “If you want anything to eat just help yourself. Hugh should be up soon, he’s still snoring away.” Horatio laughed, “so is Calleigh. You off to work?” “Yeah if I can get myself organised. I’m not normally like this; I think I’m just nervous about talking to my boss about the pregnancy.” “Don’t worry about it; I’m sure he’ll be fine about it.” Anna smiled nervously, “I hope so. Anyway, I’ll try to make to the airport in time to say goodbye to you both. If I don’t make it in time, have a safe trip home and make sure you look after Calleigh or you’ll have me to deal with.” Anna gave Horatio a hug. “Yeah you look after yourself as well! You got another one to think about now!” Anna grinned, “I know, I had a lecture from Hugh’s mum last night on how to look after myself whilst I’m pregnant. Her hearts in the right place, bless her. Right I’m off, before I’m late. My taxi’s waiting outside for me. Say bye to Calleigh for me will you?” “Will do, ma’am.” Anna rushed outside, slamming the door behind her. Horatio put some bread into the toaster and put the kettle on. As he went into the fridge to find the butter, he heard footsteps coming downs the stairs. Calleigh walked into the kitchen in her bunny pyjamas on and her hair slung back into a ponytail. Horatio put the tub of butter on the side and walked up to her. “Good morning little snorer.” Calleigh’s blurry eyes looked at Horatio. “Sorry, did I snore?” “Only a little bit, but not enough to keep me awake.” Calleigh was relieved; she didn’t want to think that she kept her boyfriend up on their first night together. Horatio gave her a kiss and led her to the breakfast bar where she sat down. “Was that Anna leaving? She slammed the door pretty hard.” “Did it wake you?” Calleigh nodded. Horatio laughed. “Well, whilst you were asleep, I managed to steal a kiss, get up and dressed and put the camp bed away, without you stirring once. Anna slams the door and it woke you?” Calleigh smiled as Horatio handed her a cup of coffee and went to butter the toast and put some more bread in. “I’m a deep sleeper, sorry.” “Don’t be,” Horatio handed Calleigh the first round of toast. Suddenly they heard a moan and a groan then a coughing noise coming from Anna and Hugh’s bedroom. “Sounds like the other sleeping beauty is up,” chuckled Horatio as he sat down with his cup of coffee. A few minute later, the door opened. Hugh came wheeling through to the kitchen. He didn’t look like a morning person at all. “Morning Hugh would you like a coffee?” offered Horatio. “Mate, that would be brilliant. I hate mornings, especially after a middle of the night phone call to Australia. Mum and dad were ecstatic about the baby news. But mum put her worrying head on and started talking about when the baby gets here and how hard it will be for us with me in my wheels. She can be difficult sometimes. She was talking about her and dad coming to stay with us till we got used to having the baby around. I’m not having that.” Horatio handed Hugh his drink. Calleigh had now woken up properly after her morning coffee. “I take it you’re not keen on the idea?” “She’s like a whirlwind, leaves destruction behind her. Don’t get me wrong, I love my parents but mum can be a bit over protective, especially since I’ve been in a wheelchair. Dad said he’d have a word with her to try change her mind. He’s good at that. We’re going to get help to adapt to the change but that can’t happen till the baby arrives. Anyway, what do you two want to do today? You got a whole day to waste till your flight.” Horatio and Calleigh looked at each other. They hadn’t thought about that. “I could drive you to see some of London if you wanted before I take you to the airport.” They both agreed and Calleigh went upstairs to get washed and dressed. “Hugh, do you want me to load up the suitcases into the car whilst you and Calleigh get sorted?” “That would be great, thanks. The car keys are in the draw by the front door.” Hugh went back into his room to get ready. Horatio went up to the spare room to fetch the suit cases. He picked his up as he’d got it ready the night before but Calleigh's was still wide open. He knocked on the bathroom door. “Calleigh, have you finished packing? I need to load up the car.” Calleigh opened the door. She was wrapped in a towel but her hair and make-up was done. She handed him her wash bag. “Can you put this in my suitcase please?” Horatio nodded his head in shock, “e...erm… what about your towel?” Calleigh chuckled to herself, “anything to get it off me! Don’t worry, it’s Anna ‘s. she let me use hers as I forgot to pack mine.” Horatio blushed, “oh, erm, okay. Don’t take too long, we’re going soon.” “Okay, just got to get dressed then I’ll be down.” Horatio went into the bedroom to finish packing for Calleigh whilst she finished getting ready. Horatio felt like a love-sick kid all over again. He wasn’t used to this feeling but he sure could get used to it.
As Horatio finished loading the car, Hugh came outside. “Well, Hugh, don’t you look human again.” “Thanks for that Horatio. I’m not a morning person, whereas Anna is.” “I noticed before she left.” Calleigh finally came down and met the men out side. “So Mr. Tour Guide, where we off to first?” “Well, when I’ve locked the house, I thought about taking you to see the changing of the guards at Buckingham Palace or we could go to St. Pauls Cathedral or there's the Tower of London or…” “Oh the Tower of London sounds good,” Calleigh interrupted. “Right, to the Tower of London.” They all climbed into the car and went to the Tower of London.
Calleigh, Horatio and Hugh spent the day wondering around the old prisons and looking in the museum and Calleigh was amazed at how big the ravens in the ground were. She couldn’t believe it. Soon it was time to go to the airport.
When they arrived, Anna was waiting for them. “I’m glad you haven’t gone yet, I was worried that I’d missed you.” Horatio unloaded the luggage onto a trolley, “we’ve been to the Tower of London.” Hugh managed to get himself into his wheelchair, “so what did your boss have to say?” “Oh he said it was about time! He congratulated us both and he’s going to sort out the paper work then get back to me.” They went into to airport and stopped in the waiting room. “Thanks for letting me and Calleigh stay for the night,” Horatio shook Hugh’s hand and gave Anna a hug. “No worries, it’s been a pleasure having you,” Anna started weeping which set Calleigh off. Calleigh hugged Anna and Hugh, “make sure you keep us informed about the baby. We’ll want regular updates. If you do come to Miami, give us a shout so we can catch up.” Anna nodded, unable to speak with tears streaming down her face. They said their final goodbyes as Horatio pushed the luggage towards their terminal with Calleigh. Anna looked at Hugh trying to wipe her tears away. “Don’t worry honey, we’ll see them again.” Hugh gave her a hug. “I hope so. They made such a lovely couple, don’t they?” Hugh nodded in agreement knowing that her hormones were getting the better of her. “Let’s get you back to work.” They both left the airport.
As Calleigh sat down next to Horatio on the plane, she let out a huge sigh. “What’s wrong?” “I’m just relieved to be getting back home to some sort of normality.” Horatio smiled, “as normal as possible. Remember, no-one knows about us yet.” “I wonder how long it will be before they all figure it out!” They fastened their seatbelts and Horatio took Calleigh's hand, “we will see…”
The End

No problem Sam.....better to have Anna and Hugh coming over to Miami, than having either H or Calleigh leaving behind in London due to problems..... Great last chap. They really made friends, didn't they. Would love to see them all back together in Miami. And maybe by then H and Calleigh have some good news to share....... Sandra
