"It is not to late to stop the wedding." As tears form in her eyes, she looked at her love and said "Not marry you Vincent!� �I want that with all my heart." �I love you. " "It would be a dream come true for me to be your wife." "Unless, lowering her head glancing down at her trembling hands, you no longer want me to be.� Trying to be strong she said "Vincent if you proposed to me yesterday out of obligation and not from your heart, you do not have to marry me because I am carrying your child." "I would never want you to feel trapped in a relationship you are unhappy with." "I told you before I will never regret having your child and I meant it." "� There are thousands of single parents and I will take care of our child do not doubt it." "My only regret will be never having the chance to spend my life with you as your wife." "Vincent, she said pulling from his embrace, the decision it yours." "I made mine yesterday when I said yes." "If you decide to cancel the wedding, I will return above until it is closer to my time than I will return here until, after the child is born. "I would like you with me." "When I am well enough I will return above to raise our child." "I will not live Below with our child to allow you the time and freedom you may require should you decide to share your world with another." " Climbing out of bed and grabbing her robe, she said, "You need to be alone to think I will be at the mirror pool and she started to leave.

Turning her toward him he saw the tears streaming down her face, Catherine I do love you , kissing her tears away, and I do want to marry you." "Vincent are you sure she asked?� �Catherine, I am definitely sure.� �I just wanted to make sure this is what you wanted as well." By marrying me you are committing your life to me and there is no turning back.� I do not want you unhappy living below with me.� �I do not want to be the cause of your unhappiness in the years to come.� �Vincent my unhappiness would be not married to you and having your children.� �You are my life.� �As you are mine Catherine.� �I want to be your husband more than anything in this world.� �I love you.� Lifting her in his arms he carried her to the bed.
