Betrayal                      Part 8 Conclusion

Good heavens what happened Vincent asked father?  Diana came back to kill Catherine
Lisa tried to stop her and she shot her.  Although Lisa was
injured she saved Catherine and the baby.  She has lost some  blood but her
pulse is strong and father Catherine's in labor.  Oh my oh my, checking
Lisa that woman is nothing but trouble.  Where's is Diana anyway?  Vincent
turned his head toward the abyss.  I see. Bring Catherine to the hospital
chamber,  Mouse you bring Lisa.  I'm right behind you.

Peter was on his way as well.  Lisa had called him when she arrived in New York to come Below as  Diana had returned. Peter decided to stop by and get Joe just in case.  Where are we going Peter?  Joe,Cathy may need us.  Cathy
as in Chandler?  Yes Joe.  Peter she left the city.  No Joe she didn't leave she has  been living with the father of her baby.  Her baby? Yes Joe. Diana found the father of her baby while investigating her "death" and
together they found their son.  Joe, Diana tried to kill Catherine.  What!
While helping Vincent find their baby, she realized how deep he and
Catherine's love was for each other.  How they share a Bond, a connection unlike anyone has ever seen. It is as if they  were one person.  How is that possible Peter?   Joe after you meet Vincent you will understand.  You see Joe,said Peter , Diana
grew to envy Catherine for the love she had and the life she led.  She wanted it too.  She became desperate.  She plotted to break Catherine and Vincent up but their love was too strong.  She left the tunnels eight
months ago telling Catherine she would be back to claim Vincent.  Well Joe
she chose to come back today and almost killed Catherine and her unborn child. Diane blackmailed a woman named Lisa,  who use to live Below, to help her break them up.  Lisa had left the tunnels years ago  to become a ballad
dancer.  But she  came back seven months ago to help Diana.  When Lisa saw the love and life Catherine shared with Vincent, she wanted it as well and betrayed Diana with a plan of her own.  Lisa's plan did not work but Catherine almost miscarried their child because of it.  Lisa never forgave herself for
what she had done.  Before she left  for Canada, she asked the helpers Above to let her know if Diana ever came back.  She was not going to let her hurt Catherine and Vincent again.  Well she returned to New York
when she heard Diana was back  and tried to stop her. Diana shot her and went after Catherine.  She brought Catherine to the
place where she shot Lisa.  Before she could  hurt Catherine Lisa used the
last of her strength saving Catherine and her baby. So Peter asked Joe  where is Diana?  Come Joe I'll show you and they went to the abyss.  Joe looked around the world Below in amazement.  People actually live here unbelievable.  Arriving
at the abyss. Joe ,Lisa pushed Diana in there before she could shoot
Catherine.  Joe whistled.  Where does that end.  I don't know Joe.  Some
say it never does.  Then Joe looked at Peter.  Come on Joe let's go back
and see how the patients are doing.  When they returned, Joe went to see Lisa to thank her while Catherine�s labor continued.  He would see her later.  Right now
she needs to be with her family.

When Joe entered Lisa was awake.  Hi Lisa.  I'm Joe.  You saved a good friend of mine's life today.  Thank you.  Joe it was the least I could do. So you use to be a dancer asked Joe?  I was never one for ballad but I am sure you
were wonderful.  Well Joe it was fun while it lasted.  The excitement and
the glamour no longer appealed  to me.  I had saved up my money and I was living in Canada  until Diana came back.  Joe have you ever been to Canada asked Lisa?
No I  haven't.  I am what some people call a homebody.  I don't go
out much or travel a lot.  Well Joe if you ever decide to visit Canada look me up so I can take you on a tour.  Thanks for the offer Lisa. I'll keep it in mind if I ever decide to go there.  Lisa can I ask you something?  Sure
Joe.  What did Diana have on you?  Well Joe when I first started to dance,
I had been with a troupe that was involved in some illegal operations.  They
used the ballad as a cover up.  I wasn't involved but I knew the people who
were.  Diana threatened to expose me as one of those people and I had no
proof of my innocence.  Being she was a private investigator I knew I didn't stand a chance.

Lisa since everyone is anxiously waiting the birth of Cathy and Vincent's
child would you mind if I kept you company.  Of course not Joe.  That would be nice.  While Catherine's labor continued Joe and Lisa got better acquainted.

Catherine dear you have to push.  Vincent it hurts so much.  They say the second child is easier Vincent their wrong.  Catherine my love you can do this.  Yes Vincent I will do this for you.  Vincent had Catherine's back
against his chest.  Come on sweetheart one more push and then the baby's cry was heard through the hospital chamber.
Kissing Catherine's lips with tears in his eyes, thank you for my beautiful daughter.  Crying herself she asked him not to thank her.  I love you Vincent and it is an honor bringing your children into this world.

Joe and Lisa's conversation was interrupted by the baby's cry.  Oh Joe isn't that a beautiful sound.  Yes Lisa it is.  I'll go see what she had. I'll be right back.  Before he left she touched his hand, will you tell
them I said congratulation.  Sure Lisa and he left.  Joe I was just coming
to get you.  Cathy is anxious to see you.  How are she and the baby?  The ladies are just fine.  Cathy had a girl?  Yes Joe and she is the prettiest baby I have ever seen.  Would it be all right if I went to see her now?  Go ahead Joe. Vincent isn't there right now he went to get their son.  Peter will I ever met him?  Very soon you will.  Now go see Cathy.

Entering the hospital chamber,  Cath how are you?  You look wonderful.  Hi Joe so do you.  Cath talk about a secret life, who would have thought such a place like this exists.  So let me see the little one.  When she uncovered the baby, Catherine she has got to be the most beautiful baby I have ever seen.  She looked just like her mother except her hair was curly and the color of a golden sunrise.  Her eyes were as blue as a summer sky.
 
Vincent  returned to the hospital chamber with Jacob while Joe visited withCatherine.  Vincent gave him to Mary and went to meet Joe.  Vincent stood
behind the curtain as Peter entered.  Hi Peter. Catherine Vincent is ready to meet him now.  I'll send him in.  Wait Peter let me talk to Joe first. Before you meet the love of my life and the father of my children, let me
explain a few things.  Vincent is different from any man you have ever seen.  He's kind, gentle and we share a Bond.  I know Peter told me.  Joe
can you imagine being connected to someone who knows your thoughts, your feelings and can experience them when you do? It's like being one person.
What Vincent and I share cannot be explained and Joe I love him with all my heart.  Vincent my love come meet Joe.  Vincent came from behind the curtain Joe I am pleased to meet you and he extended his hand.  Joe was 
speechless for the first time in his life as he took in the man before him. Vincent  taking his hand glad to meet you. Turning to Catherine , I understand a lot more now Cath.  Joe I knew you would once you met him.
After the introduction he got to see baby Jacob.  Catherine and Vincent he is beautiful as well.  Together they  thanked him..

Knowing both women needed rest, Vincent and Joe  carried them to their chambers.  When Catherine and Vincent arrived at theirs she said did you see how Joe and Lisa were looking at each other?  Who would have
thought?  Well my love, only time will tell.  Right now I want to hold the
love of my life, the beautiful mother of my children in my arms. Catherine?  Yes Vincent?  You know I love you with all that I am and I want to spend my life with you but I can no longer have you share my bed.  No
Vincent you can't mean that.  Why?  Placing one clawed nail upon her lips to silence her, I cannot share my bed with Catherine Chandler I want to share it with Catherine Wells.   Will you marry me my love?   Oh Vincent  with tears in
her eyes yes I�ll marry you.

Six weeks later Catherine and Vincent were married in a lovely ceremony Below.  After the ceremony, Lisa and Joe had to catch a flight to Canada. Saying goodbye to everyone they left.  Watching them leave hand in hand, oh Vincent I am so happy for them.   I am too my love.  Now lifting her in his arms I want to make love to my wife and he carried her to their
chamber.

Two weeks later Vincent and Catherine were sitting by the falls.  She had just received a letter from Joe. He and Lisa were engaged.  I am so happy for them Vincent.  Taking her in his arms he said I am too.  Placing her on his lap and holding her close, Mrs. Wells we have been through much this year.  Yes we have Mr. Wells but it has made our love even stronger.  And as long as we are together we will endure�
