Wow, we made it to a third thread...isn't that fantastic? I can hardly believe it. There are still a few chapters, but not so many I have to confess...the story is definitely coming more and more to its end. But until we reached it, we should enjoy the ride.
Sandra: At first, I also had something more romantic in mind...but ever so often the story had its own mind and it fitted in this moment. Hehe.. believe me..when it comes to fanfiction, I'm a hopeless romantic...
@jen: Well H isn't his usual self, so this could easily slip him, plus...I think it's probably "normal" to bug your parents for a car..so he probably just assumes, that Calleigh made a wild guess to cheer him up.
tenfour: Thanks a lot. You'll find out about Elijah in this chapter..hehe
@margaret: Yes, slowly but surely.. that's the best way I think. At least in this moment.
@sam: Hmm good question.. it's a latin proverb originally..I'm not sure if you can shoot this person...but with a time machine on hand, you probably have a chance. ;D
Lian: Oh I don't mind that at all. You can read a hundred times if you want to, this makes me happy.
sundancer: Hehe..imagination huh? Shame on you...
Thank you all for your wonderful reviews. Here is the next chapter.
Please enjoy

Chapter 13.1
The first ring hadn’t stopped before Horatio was upright in bed. It was pitch dark in the room and he didn’t know what time it was, but in this very moment he could care less. Just like that fact that he was probably waking up Calleigh due his reaching for the telephone and almost dashing the bedside lamp onto the floor in his commotion. He had other priorities. “Caine?” he answered nervously and clutched his blanket with the other hand. “He is?? Really?? Oh my god…oh my god…,“ he stammered and listened to the woman on the other side. “Thank you, thank you very much…yes I will…thanks again..,” he said goodbye and hung up.
Calleigh was also awoken by the ringing and was sitting in the bed too after she had turned on her lamp. While he had been on the phones she had stayed quiet, but now after he had hung up it, she couldn’t contain herself. “Tell me already…what did they say?” She didn’t assume that it was bad news, because her friend’s no, partner’s expression was more than happy.
“He woke up. He’s conscious and is of sound mind. He had answered every question they had asked him without hesitation,” he told her happily and let the phone drop onto the bed. “Isn’t that fantastic??”
“More than that actually,” she said relieved. “That’s wonderful. I’m so happy that he’s doing fine.” Until now she didn’t know anything about Elijah’s injuries, but didn’t want to be too nosey. But after last night, where a lot of things had changed, it probably wasn’t all that nosey. “So he doesn’t have serious injuries?”
Sighing Horatio leaned against the headboard and looked at her. “He has a whiplash, excoriations in his face, bruises from the seat belt and a broken leg. But no internal bleedings and this is very, very good.”
“Yeah it definitely is,” she nodded and leaned against his shoulder to have a look at the alarm clock. “5:30...visiting time starts at 8, right?”
“Yeah, for a usual visitor maybe,” Horatio grinned and wrapped his arm around her. “However…we still need some time, aren’t we? You have to get ready for work and if it’s possible giving me a lift to the hospital, because my car is still waiting there…hopefully.”
“Right. That’s why I asked. So we have enough time for breakfast and I don’t want to hear any excuse, Mister. You will eat something before we take off, got that?” she playfully tipped her finger against his chest. “I don’t want you to pass out or something.” This could happen faster than one preferred.
“Aye, aye, Ma’am,” he grinned broadly and kissed her temple. He was in such a good mood right now, that he would comply with her every wish.

“Okay then, give Elijah my regards, although we haven’t met, okay? And if something occurs, don’t hesitate to call me,” Calleigh briefed Horatio in the hospital’s parking lot. They had taken their time this morning, had their breakfast and only then they had taken off. In a jiffy Calleigh would drive to her apartment when she had to change and then drive to the lab, hoping that Eric hadn’t had other crazy theories during the night. She had made a deal with Horatio to keep silent and therefore Lt. Caine would take some personal days and keep away from work.
Much as she would have liked to visit Elijah, she knew that this wasn’t the best moment for it. His mother would be there too and since she officially didn’t know the boy, she knew it could get quite awkward. “I have to go, otherwise I’ll be late and Eric has a new bet,” she smiled flatly and stretched herself to give him a goodbye kiss. “I’ll see you later? Just give me a call and we can arrange everything.”
“Mhm, I will,” he murmured against her lips and gave her a proper kiss. “Don’t let yourself get teased by Eric and if he does, tell him that he can salvage the floaters next month, hm?” he smirked cheekily and hugged her. “And yes, I will pass along the regards.”
This was the old Horatio and Calleigh loved that. “Oh Eric will be ecstatic about that,” she giggled. Satisfied she nodded at him and waited until he entered the hospital.
