Betrayal Part 7 The next morning Vincent was awaken by the soft kisses of his love. Good morning handsome. Turning her on her back good morning my love returning her kisses. Last night was incredible Vincent. Yes I know my love. Whenever I make love to you Catherine is more beautiful than before. Can I make love to you? Vincent what about Jacob kissing his neck, he should be waking soon, I took him to Mary earlier this morning. You looked so lovely sleeping I hated to wake you. Besides I had plans for us nipping her neck.. I see. So my love as she caressed the cleft in his top lip, what are you plans and they lost themselves in their passion. Lisa woke up tired she hadn�t slept most of the night. She keep seeing herself as Catherine being loved by Vincent. Sharing their passion. I will start my plan soon. For now I will work on being Catherine�s friend. Getting out of bed she washed up and dressed heading for their chamber. Knowing the little one would be awake she went to see them. She was walking down the tunnel to their chamber when she hear a muffled roar and a scream. What is going on in there. Running right past the lantern she pulled back the tapestry to see Vincent�s kiss cover Catherine�s scream and he collapsed upon her. Realizing they had just fulfilled their desires, she quickly ran behind the tapestry and leaned against the outside chamber wall. Catherine. Yes my love. I know we have loved all morning but I crave your body once more. As I do you Vincent and they made love once again. Lisa could not listen anymore and ran to her chamber. Oh that woman. I will have your life Catherine and she started her plan. She had been Below a week, she and Catherine were starting to get to be on friendly terms. She found out today that the men were going to a lower tunnel early tomorrow for repairs. She also knew Catherine had a doctor�s appointment. This is my opportunity to set my plan in motion. She had sent a message above that she needed something to help her sleep. Her delivery came around midafternoon. She left a note with Mouse that she needed Vincent to help her move something in her chamber. If he could stop by when he returned she would be grateful. So she waits hoping Catherine does not return before Vincent. Around 4:00 he returned she had asked for two glasses of lemonade for them. He arrived at precisely 4:15. Lisa I am here I got your message what do you need moved. She told him a dresser and she wanted her bed closer to the chamber entrance. When he was done moving she offered him the lemonade. Being thirsty after working he down the glass. Well I will be go**and he started to sway. Helping him to the bed, she laid him down. Checking his vital signs he seemed to be in a deep sleep. Well he should be I put 4 sleeping pills in his drink. Good now plan 2. She waited until she knew Catherine would be back. Father have you seen Vincent? Yes dear he went to move something for Lisa. How was you appointment ? Peter said the baby is developing nicely. Good good. Now go get that man of yours and tell him the news. I will father. Thank you and she kissed his cheek. Lisa had told Mouse to let her know when Catherine was on her way to the chamber and she went back inside. Hurrying up she removed her clothes and climbed into bed next to Vincent making sure she left her naked torso uncovered. Perfect now I�ll wait. She heard her call Vincent and pretended to be sleep. When Catherine entered the chamber Lisa was in Vincent�s arms. Oh god no and she ran from the chamber. She kept running until she reached Mary�s chamber. Catherine what is it. It�s Vincent I found him, he is. Catherine slow down.Mary he slept with Lisa . Catherine what. I saw them. Catherine calm down the baby. Close to hysterics Mary how could he. Catherine clutched her stomach and doubled over in pain as darkness overcame her. Catherine can you hear me? It�s father. Waking up. Where am I? Catherine you are in the hospital chamber. What. Oh god father I remember. Catherine listen to me. You are spotting a little.. My baby is it all right? Catherine you will have to rest and stay off your feet for 24 hours. No father I cannot lose my child. Not Vincent�s child. Does he know.? Yes he has been in the outside hospital chamber all night. Catherine he wants to see you. No father I cannot see him and she began to cry. Catherine you must not upset yourself. Father he betrayed me and our love. He was in bed with Lisa. Catherine listen things are not always as they appear. Father I saw for myself. Catherine you need to see Vincent and talk to him. No father I cannot. I will be leaving the tunnels as soon as you feel it is safe. I am taking Jacob and going Above. Maybe I can stay with Peter until I find a place of my own. Vincent came through the hospital curtain no Catherine you cannot leave me . Kneeling by the bed, Catherine could see he had been crying for quite sometime, Taking her hand he laid it against his cheek, Catherine please don�t leave me. I could not survive with out you. Vincent you should have thought about that before you bedded Lisa. But Catherine I didn�t, I couldn�t do that. I could not betray our love like that. I love you only you. I need you. I saw you. Catherine I cannot lose you or the child you are carrying. I cannot lose Jacob. Please listen to me. No I have heard enough. Just than Lisa came in.. Catherine. You. How dare you come in here after what happened. Catherine listen to me. Nothing happened. I set it all up. Vincent had now idea. He was sleep. I gave him some sleeping pills. What you saw was my doing. We never made love. She had told father and Vincent the story earlier. Catherine Diana Bennett forced me to help her destroy you and Vincent. I have some things in my past I am not to happy about. Diana found out and forced me to help her or she would go to the authorities. So I came Below. Once I got here. I saw how your life was, how much Vincent loved you. How happy you were. I wanted that too and I forgot Diana�s plan. I hatched my own to get Vincent for myself. It was selfish I know. But my life was not easy. I had bad relationships and I was in trouble with the law. Catherine I used my dancing as an escape from that life. Had I known you were pregnant I would never had done this. I would never had threatened the life of your unborn child. I know you will not forgive me and I don�t blame you but I am sorry. If it matters, I will never be able to forgive myself. Father entered than.. These two need to be alone now and they left. After they had gone. Catherine taking her in his arms. What you went through because of Diana now Lisa. You don�t deserve this heartache this pain. I promise you from now on nothing will ever come between our happiness . Taking her lips in a kiss their tears become one. Later that evening Vincent carried her to their chamber and waited on her hand and foot. Father told him to spend a few days with his family. Catherine had been through a lot. Lisa left the next morning saying she would let father know when she had settled somewhere. The next few months went by quickly for Catherine Diana never came back and Lisa had flown to Canada. Her pregnancy was going great even if she felt like the Goodyear blimp. Vincent told her she was even more beautiful carrying his child. He missed her first pregnancy but stayed by her side throughout this one. He loves her even more seeing her belly heavy with his child. They still crave each other (some things never change). They spend a lot of time in bed as father jokingly mentions every chance he gets. A week before Catherine's baby was due, Diana returned to the tunnels. She hadn�t seen Lisa or talked to her. She had no idea what was going on Below. Lisa had asked a helper to keep her informed if Diana ever returned. She received a call that she had returned and booked herself a seat on the next plane to New York. She would make sure she left Vincent and Catherine alone. Diana had been hiding for a few hours in one of the lower tunnels waiting for the right moment. She heard a message on the pipes that the men were needed in father�s chamber and made her move. Diana was sneaking down the steps to the abyss when Lisa saw here. Diana, go away. Leave Vincent and Catherine alone. Let them be happy. Vincent will never want you. No man will. You're to conniving, to ruthless, you have no soul. You don�t even have a heart. No Lisa Vincent will be mine. Taking the gun out her pocket she pointed it at Lisa. Let�s go. We have a certain woman to get rid of. No Diana. Catherine is pregnant with Vincent�s child. Oh really well than I�ll just have to kill both of them. Vincent and I can have our own children. Diana pleading with her no I won�t let you and she approached her. The gun fired and Lisa fell to the floor. Now you can�t stop me and she went to find Catherine. Going to their chamber. There you are. Turning toward her Diana what are you doing here? Well Well well look at you. You think because you�re carrying his child he'll never leave you. Diana stop this at once. Leave these tunnels. Not yet my pretty and she pulled the gun on Catherine. Diana, please not this. My baby. Vincent� baby.. How can you hurt his child. You love him. This child is part of him. Yes Cathy but this child is part of you as well. Seeing this child will be a reminder of you just as baby Jacob is. You see Catherine once I got Vincent, your little one would suddenly disappear or some freak accident could occur. And I would be there to console Vincent once again. Diana no. Vincent had felt Catherine's fear as soon as she saw Diana. He was running as fast as he could. He had to reach Catherine. Suddenly she grabbed her stomach. Oh no I�m in labor. Why now? So you are getting ready to deliver that one. Start walking. Diana I can�t the labor. You heard me Cathy move and she clicks the gun and pushes her. She kept moving until they reached the abyss. Catherine seeing Lisa's body. Diana what have you done? Lisa tried to stop me. Hey Cathy don�t they say this has no ending. Diana please doubling over as a contraction hits. Sorry Cathy time to go. Jump Cathy. Diana please. Nope your time has come. Vincent�s woman has come to claim her man. Vincent arrived just than .Diana wait. Vincent my love how are you? Diana I have missed you. You don�t have to do this. The two of us can go down to a chamber deep inside the tunnels. We can start our life together. But Vincent she will still be around. She must be gone. Diana , said Vincent no you don�t want to do this. Vincent my love yes I do.. Using all of her strengh Lisa came behind Diana saying no I will not let you do this and she pushed her into the abyss as she fell to the ground. Running to Catherine he gathered her in his arms. Oh my love. I could have lost you. Vincent I�m in labor. Lisa�s hurt see to her. She saved my life. I am OK right now. Not wanting to let Catherine go, Please Vincent see to her. He felt her neck she had a pulse. She is alive. Just than father, Mary ,Mouse and Jamie came. Father help us. Catherine�s in labor and Diana shot Lisa.
