Destiny Part 5 (rated r) Vincent began to explain the past month of events. He left out the parts of her thinking they were married and the lovemaking they had shared. His dream had come to an end. It saddened him but he was glad Catherine had regained her memory. He asked her to wait for him in the chamber he wanted to tell father the good news and he left. After he was gone Catherine wondered why Vincent had acted so different toward her. He seemed distant. Almost as if he could not be near her. �What happened this past month to change him?� �Father something wonderful has happened.� �Catherine has regained her memory.� �She fell in the laundry room and hit her head. She was not hurt when I found her. Apparently the fall triggered her memory but she cannot remember the past month.� �Father she has no idea that she thought we were married and, blushing, she does not know of the love we have shared.� �Father our beautiful dream has ended.� �Son you do not know that for sure.� �Catherine could very well stay below with you.� �Father I do not think so.� �It is time for her to return to her home Above.� �I will terribly miss having her here but I must let her go.� �I understand son.� �Go to her now.� �Spend some time together before she goes home.� �But Vincent I do not think she is ready to know what happened between you two.� �It is best that you let her remember what you shared on her own.� �I know father.� �I will not say anything that could cause her to relapse and he left. Father watched his son go and he knew how hard this was going to be on Vincent. He hopes he can handle it. Early the next morning Catherine returned Above. It broke Vincent�s heart to have her leave but she had to. She had neglected her life Above too long. Last night while she slept in the guest chamber Vincent stayed awake thinking back on the happiness they shared for four weeks. �Vincent will I see you later tonight/� �I am sorry Catherine I cannot come tonight and I do not know when I will see you again. I have been neglecting my duties a little.� �When I get caught up, maybe I can come than.� Giving her a quick hug be well Catherine. �You do the same Vincent�, and she climbed the ladder to her world. Arriving home she looked around. It seemed strange being here. Tunnel life was some loving and peaceful compared to life Above. �If only I could live my life forever Below with Vincent.� �I will keep that dram deep inside my heart until the day comes that he asks me too.� She decided to call Joe to let him know she was safely home. Vincent had told her how worried Joe had been �Joe Maxwell here.� �Hi Joe it�s Cathy.� �I am fully recovered and back home.� �You can stop worrying about me.� �Vincent took care of me as he said he would.� �Catherine, Vincent is he the mystery man in your life.� �Is he the one who you love and he protects you? �Yes Joe he is.� �I do love him and one day I will let you meet him. Until than, we will not discuss it.� �Catherine you and your secrets.� �I won�t push you for answers because I know I won�t get them. �You got that right Joe.� �I will be back to work in about a week.� �I know you can handle things without me a little longer.� �Talk to you soon. �Bye.� Hanging up the phone Catherine decided to make herself some breakfast. She left the tunnel a little early to eat. She had just finished eating her eggs when the nausea hit her. Running to the bathroom she lost her breakfast. Sitting on the commode what was that about. I usually have a cast iron stomach and it hit her again. When she was done in the bathroom she crawled into bed where she stayed most of the morning. Vincent had not came to see Catherine for a few days. He stayed involved in his work until late at night. He was too tried to do much of anything else. He would eat his meals and retire to his chamber. He could not see Catherine. Her nearness affected him to deeply. The passion he feels around her is too must to bear. Knowing the love they shared could never be again. He sent messages Above her letting her know that he could not see her for a while. He had too many things to do Below. When he had free time, he would contact her. Every once in a while he would open their Bond to make sure she was ok. There were times when he knew she was thinking of him and wondering what happened between them. What caused the distant? He could not tell her and he knew if he saw her he could not resist her. She had to find out on her own what they had shared. Over the next few days Catherine experienced the same bout with nausea. The fourth morning it happened again. She had went through the day as usual catching up on her work but that night, she was sitting on her bed wondering what was wrong with her. �If I did not know any better I would think I was having �oh my god morning sickness.� Below this night Vincent had opened their Bond and felt her reaction. Putting aside his own feelings, he had to go to her to see what was wrong. Catherine was still recovering from the shock of her discovery when she heard Vincent�s tap upon her balcony door. Going to the door she opened them and ran into his waiting arms. �Oh Vincent I am so glad to see you.� �I have missed you so much.� �Catherine, gently pushing her away a little, her nearness affecting him, I have missed you too.� �Tell me what has you in such turmoil?� �Vincent, looking up into his beautiful blue eyes, something happen between us while I was Below that you did not tell me why?� "Something like what he asked, his voice concerned?" �Vincent, I think I�m pregnant� and she fainted in his arms.
