Destiny Part 10 (over17) By her seventh month Catherine had regained all of her memories. She and Vincent also made new ones.. There was one in particular that they still laugh about. It was the day the tunnel community decided they should share the same chamber. Catherine was in her fifth month. She and Vincent were in his chamber making love before she returned to hers for the night. They had just reached fulfillment when they heard yelling and the sound of breaking glass in the tunnel. Vincent immediately withdrew from her. Forgetting their state of undress, they ran out into the hall. Father was on his knees picking up the pieces of his shattered teacup. "Father are you all right?' "Yes son I am." Looking up father was shocked.. Vincent was standing there naked. His golden mane was in disarray about his shoulder. The hair on his chest was slightly damp. Then he glanced at Catherine. Her beauty stunned him. She was naked as well. . Her skin was slightly flushed. Her hair was also in disarray. Her lips were wet and swollen. . He had seen her naked three years ago when he tended her injuries but her body was even more beautiful pregnant. Stammering, father quickly lowered his head. "Son I am fine." "Mouse's raccoon scared me and I dropped my cup." "You and Catherine should go." "Now Vincent." "Jacob are you all right." Mary ran to him. Stopping when she saw Catherine and Vincent's state of undress. Lowering her head, Vincent I suggest you two go back to your chamber right away." "Mary I want to make sure father is all right." "Vincent, still looking at the floor, I wasn't the only one who heard father." "A lot of people are on their way here." "Do you know what I mean?" "Oh my goodness, Catherine and Vincent realized at the same time what Mary was trying to tell them." Both embarrassed. Lifting Catherine in his arms, Vincent ran back to his chamber as fast as he could. Before he turned into the entrance, half the tunnel community had gotten a quick glimpse of the naked couple running down the hall. Needless to say, they were quite embarrassed. The following morning Catherine and Vincent chose to have their breakfast in their chambers. While they were "hiding" father called a tunnel meeting. The community decided that Catherine and Vincent should share the same chamber. Father went to see them at lunchtime and told them their decision. They thanked him and asked that he thank the community for them. From that day on, if Catherine and Vincent were not at the crystal caverns or the falls, they were in their chamber with the tapestry down. Father and Mary had gone to them numerous times to see if they needed anything. They ended up returning the way they had come. Not wishing to disturb them. They were both a little embarrassed having heard the sounds of their lovemaking coming from the chamber. Smiling, Catherine returned to the present and continued folding their clothes. She had spent the day washing while Vincent and the other men spent the day doing repairs on some of the lower tunnels. Bending down to put Vincent's shirts in his dresser drawer, she felt a sharp pain in her back. Deciding she had bent wrong, she continued her task at hand. Than another pain hit her. She knew she was in labor. She was just about to tap a message on the pipes to let Vincent know when he arrived at their chamber. "Catherine I felt your pain and I came as soon as I could." 'Is it the baby?" "Yes Vincent." 'I'm in labor." Carrying her to their bed, he gently laid her down than sent a message to father and Mary. The entire tunnel community stopped what they were doing when they heard the message over the pipes anxiously waiting for the birth of Catherine and Vincent's child. Vincent was beside himself with worry every time Catherine experienced a contraction or a labor pain. He had been worried throughout her pregnancy and but did not let her know. But she did.. "Vincent my love, come here and sit down." " You do not have to keep pacing." "This is normal for a baby." " The pain I expected." " I have been reading a lot about childbirth and so have you." "I know Catherine sweetheart but sharing it with you is a lot different than reading about it." "Vincent everything will be fine. '' Our little will be here soon. "Try not to worry so." All right Catherine I will try for you, placing a soft kiss on her lips that was interrupted by another contraction. Resting his hand on Vincent's shoulder, "son delivering a baby is not easy for most woman." "Catherine's pains are normal." Catherine is right try not to worry so." Father's attention was drawn from Vincent when Catherine had another contraction. After examining her, father told them it would not be much longer. A half-hour later Catherine delivered a normal healthy ten-pound five-ounce baby boy. Sitting beside Catherine as she fed their son, Vincent had tears in his eyes. "Catherine he is so beautiful." "I cannot believe he is finally here." Hearing his father voice, their baby opened his eyes for the first time. Vincent and Catherine looked at his sky blue eyes the exact color as Vincent's. Softly rubbing the unruly red blond curls upon his head, Catherine said, he is so beautiful, so perfect just like his father and lightly caressed Vincent's face. Taking her tiny hand in his own, "I must disagree with you my love." "Our son is perfect because you're perfect." "I love you Catherine." "And I love you Vincent." Seeing their little one comfortable and quite happy attached to Catherine's breast, they share a passionate kiss with the promise of more to come. . Part 11 Shirley's Fanficfic Index. |
