The Power of Love Part 21 (everyone) When Catherine and Vincent arrived at father' s chamber he was still awake as they hoped. "Come in you two." "It was nice of you to stop by before you had your private time together tonight." "The celebration was absolutely wonderful although we could have done without that argument between Rudolph and Cullen." "That was not the only argument tonight father stated Vincent." "There were two more." "I stopped one between Cullen and Devin and one between Rudolph and Kanin." "And Devin and Rudolph added Mary as she entered father's chamber." "I had just left baby Jacob with Kanin and Olivia and I was on my way back to the grand hall when I saw them." "My goodness I thought I was going to see my first live boxing match had I not stopped them." "My god what is the problem with the men this evening exclaimed father." "I am afraid I am the problem father admitted Catherine." "Catherine how on earth can you be the problem asked father?" "Father that is why we came to see you stated Vincent." "It seems that Paracelus is up to his evil doings again." "How so Vincent?" "Well he found out that there are some men Below who have more than brotherly feelings for Catherine." "I can understand that." Looking at Catherine he said "who could not love her." "Oh Vincent, slightly blushing at his compliment, that is not true." Gently placing his hand under her chin he lifted her head to look into her lovely gray green eyes before he spoke, "have I ever lied to you my love?" "No, you have not and Catherine lightly caressed his cheek a moment, "I love you.' After returning her I love you Vincent looked back at father and continued. "Paracelus is using this information to turn the men against each other and me." "He wants the community in an uproar hoping you would lose control over the community." "Thus allowing him to take over." "So he is seeking his revenge against Catherine by making her, the women who brought us together, be the same woman who tears us apart." "Exactly father said Vincent." 'Jacob judging by what I have heard and seen tonight, his scheme could very well work stated Mary." "That is why Catherine and I came to you tonight with this." "He had Rudolph believing that Kanin wants Catherine." "You can't be serious said Mary.'' "Kanin is a happily married man with two children." "We know this but Rudolph confronted his anyway." "We do not know how far this could esclate unless we put a stop to it Vincent worriedly replied." "Vincent and I had a talk with Rudolph and Kanin so they know what is going on and they are friends again stated Catherine." "Thank goodness said father." "Father we need to call a meeting tomorrow morning so we can let the community know what Paracleus is up too." "Yes Vincent I will call one at the earliest possible hour." "But I do know if we should use the pipes." Paracelus has been gone for quite a few years and I am sure there are alot of codes he would not know." "However I do not want to take the chance of him finding out anything." "Father I have a suggestion." "Tell me Vincent please anything would be of help." "Why don't we use the new emergency code Pascal developed a few months ago." "That is a brillant idea son." "The community knows as soon as they hear that code to go straight to the grand hall for further instructions." "Father it is late now and there is nothing more we can do so Catheine and I will be going to our chamber." "Yes it is pretty late." "Thank you for coming to me so quickly and I am sorry your night did not go as planned." "It's alright father, said Catherine." "We have plently of nights to celebrate looking at Vincent with all the love she feels for him in her eyes." Wrapping his arm gently around her tiny waist before he replied, "yes we do my love." Having said goodnight to father and Mary Vincent escorted his lady love out the chamber. "I think I will retire for the night as well." "We have a long day ahead of us." "Good night Jacob." "Good night Mary and thank you for the dance this evening." Mary slightly blushed as she spoke anytime Jacob and she was gone." After Vincent and Catherine talked to Pascal and briefed him on what was happening, they were going to their chamber when Vincent felt a sadness in his Catherine. Stopping he gathered her tenderly in his arms and said Catherine I feel your sadness tell me what's wrong?." "Oh Vincent, her eyes misted with tears, I never wanted to cause any problems between your family." "I never wanted to cause you any pain I love you too much." ""Catherine sweetheart this is not your fault." "You did not ask the men to fall in love with you and you did not ask Paracelus to do this. " "You cannot blame yourself." "I can't help it Vincent." "All of this is happening because I love you." "And I love you too." "My love there is still time for us to celebrate." "Let us not waste it." Looking up into her Vincent's beauitful blue eyes and smiling, no my love we cannot waste it " Separating he took her tiny hand within his own and lightly caressed her slightly rounded belly." "May I join our child inside you my love?." " I would like that very much." Feeling her need through their Bond, smiling Vincent said I know." Putting the evening events aside for a little while, Vincent lifted her tiny body in his arms and carried his precious bundle to their chamber for a unforgettable night of love.
