Shared Dream                               Part 9


Late that evening as Catherine slept, Vincent climbed out of bed being
careful not to wake her.  Grabbing his cloak, he quietly opened the balcony
doors stepping outside. Glancing at his love snuggled in bed, he smiled
and walked to the balcony wall.

As he stared out at the city his thoughts went to Catherine  "Now that she
is carrying my child, she should be  Below�. "She told me she would stay as long as I wanted her too�  " I told her that would be forever.� "His life would be complete once she came Below."

So lost in thought, he did not know she had joined him until he felt her slender
arms  around his waist. "What were you thinking about sweetheart?"   �It
must have been important you did not hear me approach."

Facing her, he said �I was thinking about my love for you,opening her robe he  placed a soft kiss on her stomach ,  and our child.� "Catherine I would like you to move Below."

As tears glistened in her eyes, she said "Vincent I have wanted that more
than anything."  "I am so glad that you finally asked me." "I did not want
to mention it, I felt this should be your decision and I have been
patiently waiting for you to ask."  "Now that you have , I would love
to live Below  with you."  "I just hope you can put up with my morning
sickness, late night cravings and the changes in my body as it grows with
child."

"Catherine holding her close, rather you are here or Below, I will be going
through your morning sickness as you do�.  "I will get your late night
cravings as well."  "However, the difference in having you Below is the
pleasure it will give me seeing you and making love you as your body
changes carrying our child."

Snuggling closer in his arms, she said. "The pleasure you receive will
pleasure me as well." "Knowing that you will desire me even when my body is
heavy with child makes me very happy.�  "I love you."

"Catherine I love you too."  Taking her lips in a kiss, he lifted her in
his arms and carried her to the bedroom.  No words were needed as the cool
breeze surrounded the lovers into the last hours of night.

As dawn approached, Vincent  had to return Below.  He wishes he could spend the entire day with Catherine.  Leaning toward her, he kissed her awake.

�Good morning handsome.�  � Last night was magical my love.�  � Having you all to myself was wonderful. I wish we could do it more often.�

�Yes my love I do as well�.  � It will be getting light soon. I had better get ready to go�.  Giving her quick kiss as he climbed out of bed to wash and dress.  He knew if he stayed any longer in bed with her, he would never leave.

After he washed and dressed Catherine walked him out on the patio.  Wrapping her arms around his neck, she moved closer to him as he took her lips in a kiss.  They stayed that way for a few minutes neither wanting to break the moment.  Vincent regretfully released her lips and stepped back to leave.  Before he could, Catherine wrapped her arms around him and took his lips to her own.

Signing as he broke the kiss, and said, �I will return to you tonight�.

�I will be waiting�. �Goodbye Vincent.�

�Goodbye my love� and he leaped over the balco
ny.

Catherine remained on the balcony a little longer, hoping he would come back to her.  After a few minutes she sadly began to walk inside, when she felt strong arms encircle her from behind.�  �Vincent you came back and she turned to face him�

�When I got to the roof, I felt your need for me and I returned�. � How will I ever be able to leave you Catherine?�

�Vincent spend the day with me?�  �I can call Joe and take the day off.�

�I want that very much Catherine.�  �We can call Peter to let father know not to expect me until this evening.�  Softly kissing her neck, he said how soon do you have to call Joe?� And he carried her to the bedroom.

Two hours later she called Joe and Peter.   Hanging up the phone, her heart was filled with so much joy.  She was going to spend the entire day alone with her love.
