Shared Dream Part 7 Breakfast went well, no one mentioned the events of the previous night. Leaving after they had eaten, Catherine asked Vincent "if they could go the the falls. She wanted to get familiar with the way so nothing happens again." Being ever carrying for his beloved, he took his time walking with her so she would know the way. By the time they arrived she was comfortable about the route and thanked him for taking his time. Taking a seat at the water's edge, he said, "You are welcome" and placed her on his lap. "Looking at the falls, he said, "everytime I come here alone, I see the beauty of these falls. Turning toward her, when I am here with you Catherine, your beauty is all I see." "I wish you could know how deep my love is for you." "Saying I love you a thousand times a day can still not express the depth of that love." "When you visit Below such joy settles within my heart." "I can feel your joy as well my love." Your happiness being near me humbles me Catherine." Looking back at the water, Catherine if you are carrying my child, will you come live Below?" "Yes Vincent, for as long as you want me here." Smiling at her, he said, "that would be forever." Returning his smile, that sounds nice Vincent." Unfortunately, I have to return Above first thing in the morning. I have a busy week ahead. I know it's early in the day, but would you mind going to your chamber?" "I want to spend the rest of my time here alone with you." "Come my love, gently lifting her off his lap, I want to be alone with you as well." Wrapping his arm around her waist, they headed back. They spent the rest of the day reading and talking together, each wishing the time for her to return would never come. When night fell, Vincent made love to his Catherine. And they held each other close as they slept until the wee hours of the morning when Catherine had to return Above. At 6 am Vincent walked her to the entrance below her building. "Catherine I wish you did not have to leave." "I miss you already,"taking her in his arms." "Vincent I do not wish to go but I must." "Will you come see me tonight?' "Of course I will my love. Around 10 PM." "Taking her lips in a kiss, I love you. If will be a struggle waiting to be with you evening my love.� and he went back into the tunnel entrance." "I love you too Vincent, I will be waiting for you this evening. "Smiling she climbed the ladder returning home." When she got there, the first thing she did was call Peter as she promised Vincent and father she would. "Peter Hi. It's Cathy." "No I am fine but I need to make an appointment to see you". "Yes I am sure." "I want an examination and a blood test taken. I�ll tell you more when I see you." "Yes I can come in today, the sooner the better." "2:00 is great. Thanks Peter I�ll see you than.� �Goodbye.� Hanging up the phone, if all goes well this afternoon, Vincent and I will know this evening if I am expecting his child. Emptying her overnight bag, she threw her dirty clothes in the hamper and changed to go to the office. She tried concentrating ion the case she had in front of her, but she was too anxious for 2:00 to come. Seeing her daydreaming, Joe asked, �are you all right Cath�? �Yes Joe I was just thing about someone.� �Your mystery man again, I take it�? �Yes my mystery man� and she returned her thoughts to the paper on her desk. At 2:00 she entered Peter�s office. Hi kiddo, how was your weekend Below?� �You seem different somehow.� I guess you could say it was the happiest two days of my life.� �With the exception of my falling into a water hole and Vincent had to rescue me.� �A water hole, Cathy how?� �I called myself going to the chamber of falls and got lost. �I see honey.� �So what�s going on with you?� �Peter, I could be pregnant.� �Can you find out for me?� �This weekend I take it?� �Yes, after Vincent saved me, one thing led to another.� �Anyway father found out and wasn�t pleased but he came around.� �OK let�s get started.� �I can tell you�re anxious.� At 4:00 Catherine got the happiest news she could have hoped for from Peter. �Cathy sweetie you�re going to have a baby.� �Oh Peter thank you so much.� �I am so happy to give Vincent a child.� �He will be as happy as I am with the news, if not happier.� �Talk to you tomorrow.� Hanging up the phone, �oh Vincent, I cannot wait until tonight to tell you about our miracle child.� Part 8 Shirley's Fanfic Index. <> |
