Holding her close Catherine I heard you tell our baby you were chilly. Yes. Here wrapping her in his cloak with him. Better Catherine? Yes I am warm now. Come let us go sit with our baby for a while. Thank you Vincent I would like that. Sitting down he placed her on his lap resting her head on his chest. I am here now Catherine everything will be all right. Feeling secure in Vincent's strong arms within minutes Catherine had fallen asleep for the first time in weeks. Vincent let her sleep for a while as he looked at the beauty of the lake. Thinking about Catherine and their child and wishing he could turn back time. He will stay here with her as long as she needs to get herself back to the way she used to be. He will never leave her side again and will spend the rest of his life making up for all the hurt and pain he caused her if she gives him the chance. Deciding she would probably be more comfortable in bed, he slowly carried her back to the cabin. Lying her upon the bed, he removed her shoes covered her up and lightly kissed her forehead. Sleep now my love I will be right here when you wake up.   Vincent went outside to retrieve his bags and returned to the bedroom. Pulling up a chair close to the bed, he began to unpack. Father made sure they had plenty of food and that he had lots of clothes. Vincent called Peter when he was done and told him Catherine was sleeping now. He will take good care of her and not to worry. He will call back in a couple of days. Goodbye Peter. Vincent than put the food away and returned to Catherine's side. Taking a seat in the chair he looked at his sleeping beauty. Vincent waking up hearing his name he went over to the bed. You are really here? Yes Catherine I am here.   I thought it was a dream. No it is no dream as he took her hand. Vincent why did you come and how did you get here?. I knew you needed me and Peter brought me. Catherine you rest now and I will watch over you. Sleep now. Ok I will. Vincent? Yes Catherine. I love you and she drifted back to sleep. Lightly touching her face he said I love you too. Lightness turned to darkness and Catherine was still asleep. Vincent made himself something to eat and returned to Catherine's side. He wanted to feed her as well but knew she needed rest. The following morning Catherine woke up to find Vincent asleep in the chair. All she could do was stare at the beautiful face she dearly missed. Vincent felt her looking at him. Good morning Catherine. How are you feeling today? I am feeling better. Would you like something to eat? Vincent may be just a little bit. He fixed her a bowl of oatmeal and some tea and brought it to the room. Having not eaten for a while she couldn't eat much. After she was done Vincent told her if she felt up to it maybe they could go for a walk around the lake and visit their baby. She said that sounded nice. After she changed they went outside and enjoyed the sunshine. They did this for two weeks. Each day Catherine got stronger and stronger and the sparkle had returned to her eyes. Yes Vincent was all the medicine she needed. Their days together were happy ones for both of them even with the loss of their child. They were getting back the closeness they once shared and she even taught him how to fish. Their third week at the cabin Vincent felt it was time they talked about her last day Below. Catherine taking her hand as they sit by the lake. I need to talk to you about the day you asked to stay Below. I was not going to let you stay because I loved you too much. I did not want you to sacrifice your life Above for me. You have so many opportunities waiting for you above. I could not let you miss out on those because of your love for me. I would not have been able to live with myself for holding you back. I love you with all of my heart and I realize now that not letting you stay Below was a very big mistake. I need you with me to survive just as you need me without each other our lives are meaningless. Catherine what I am asking is would you give us another chance at happiness by letting me back into your life? If you will share my world with me I will spend the rest of my life loving you and making you happy. Looking up into his beautiful blue eye wet with tears, she said yes Vincent you can have your second chance. Taking her within his arms they shared a kiss wet from each other's tears. Catherine and Vincent decided to stay at the cabin for a couple weeks. They called Peter to let him know, Peter was overjoyed to hear the happiness in Catherine�s voice.   The next two weeks were perfect. Vincent and Catherine would visit with their baby, swim, hand and hand they took walks around the lake looking at the beauty of nature in the daylight. Catherine would look at Vincent taking in the beauty with wonderment. The fished and even Bar B queued. This time together is what they both needed. The last evening at the cabin they sat in the livingroom holding each other and talking about their day. Neither wanted to think about tomorrow when they leave their paradise. Catherine suggested that the get comfortable. They could build a fire in the fireplace and make smores. Vincent had heard of these but never tasted them. Catherine said while he makes the fire she will shower than he could do the same. Before she reached the bedroom she heard him say don�t use all the hot water. Laughing she said I won�t. Catherine grabbed her long terry cloth robe, her rose scented shampoo and soap and entered the shower. When Vincent heard the water turn off he waited a few minutes for her to dry off and change before he entered the room.    When he did the sight before him brought a smile to his face and a warmness within his heart. Catherine had her hair wrapped on a towel. Her long white robe touched the floor but he could see the tips of her tiny toes just under the hem. Vincent keeps forgetting just how little Catherine actually is. She usually wears three or four inch heels and to this day he doesn�t know how she can wear them. Without her shoes the top of her head barely reaches his chest. She looked like a little girl. As he thought back to their last evening in the tunnel she is most definitely a woman .Quickly coming back from where his thoughts were headed he noticed she was unwrapping her hair and picking up her hairbrush. Vincent asked if he could brush her hair. Smiling she took a seat at the vanity and handed him the brush. Closing her eyes she enjoyed the feeling. She has not had someone else brush her hair since her mother died fifteen years ago. When he was done he handed her the brush kissed the tip of her nose and said he was going to shower. Grabbing his robe, towel and soap he entered the shower. Catherine waited a little while knowing he would be involved in his shower and went to the kitchen to make a phone call. Smiling as she hung up she stirred the fire and returned to the bedroom. When Vincent entered the room after he was done all he could do was stare at her. She had her back to him with her robe off her shoulders putting on lotion and he was wishing he was caressing her there. Than she l put her upon the bed and began to lotion her slender but muscular legs. When she was done Vincent could tell she had taken her robe a loose to wrap it tighter around her wishing he could be that robe wrapped snugly around her body. Realizing where his thoughts were heading again he composed himself and said Catherine I am done. She turned around and could not believe how handsome he looked . His beautiful blond hair looked darker wet and his knee length robe left nothing to the imagination of his magnificent body. Vincent reading her thoughts smiled taking her hand and led her to the livingroom. While he tended the fire she put on some water for tea and got the necessary ingredients to make the smores. Vincent watched with interest as she made them . When she was done she held one to Vincent lips to taste telling him to be careful the marshmallows can be very hot and sticky. He took a bite and could not believe how good it was. She took a napkin and gently wiped the excess marshmallow off his lips. Taking a bite herself she also wipe her mouth. They enjoyed a few more of theses and drank their tea as they cuddled on the couch. When they finished Catherine got up placing Vincent's feet at the place she just vacated and told him she would take the cups to the sink. When she returned she told him to lay back and close his eyes she wanted to give him a massage. Not sure what to expect, he did as she asked . She began by working on his neck, Her tiny little hands felt wonderful. After doing his shoulders, she came around and sat next to him on the couch and began to massage his muscular chest. Vincent felt a slight tug on his robe belt and opened his eyes. Catherine what are you doing?   Catherine in a passion filled voice can we do this.? While you showered I called Peter and he said everything was all right. A while later as they lay on the couch in silence the beating of their hearts talked for them. Vincent lifted up on the ouch taking her with him and said let�s go where we can be more comfortable. Catherine went to grab he robe when in a whispered voice he said no, you won�t need it. He carried her to the bedroom laid her on the bed   As he went around the room lighting candles, Catherine watched his very masculine form. He returned to the bed laying beside her and took her in his arms. Taking her lips within his own he said it�s my turn to love you. They awoke at 1:00 in the morning by the sound of the alarm clock. Taking her hand he led her to the shower and closed the door.   At 2:30 they were dressed and packed. Vincent took the suitcases outside while Catherine cleaned the kitchen and put the breakfast dished away. Vincent put her suitcases in her car and his on the porch. When she went outside he was standing by their baby�s grave. He was telling their child that they had to return to the city but would come back often. Little one I wish I had been able to meet you. Your father loves you and he felt Catherine�s arm go around his waist. Pulling her within his embrace, they shared there last moments with their child. When Peter arrived he saw Catherine and Vincent embracing by the lake. The sight made him happy because they had worked things out but sad at the lossof their child. They turned around when they heard him and he said how wonderful Catherine looked the sparkle was back in her eyes and sheradiated with happiness. Yes he was glad he told Vincent. He asked them how they were and if they were ready to go. They smiledsaying well not really but we know we must go. After Vincent's luggage waspacked they were on their way. Peter followed Catherine back to the city.When they arrived at the North Park tunnel Catherine go out first and went to the van to wait for Vincent. Taking his hand they got his luggage Peter said he could not stay he had early appointments and he would see them later. Catherine gave him a hug and a kiss on the cheek and thanked him. Vincent shook his hand and thanked him as well.   Just remember make her happy. Catherine tightened her hand within Vincent and said he already has. Goodbye Jacob as Peter saw him at the tunnel entrance as he drove off. Catherine and Vincent went to father. He gave them both a hug and told Catherine he was sorry about the baby. Thank you father. Well son, Catherine I'm going back to bed taking one of Vincent's suitcases. Goodnight. Vincent and Catherine held each other for a while not wanting to part but knowing that they must. Catherine these last few weeks with you have been the happiest I ever known. Thank you for making them so. Vincent loving you as much as I do makes being happy easy. He kissed her lips as she turned to go. Catherine I will come visit you later tonight. I'll be there. Catherine arrived home, opened her balcony door, aired out her apartment and unpacked her clothes. The weeks at the lake with Vincent were a dream come true for both of them and she missed him already. Going out on the balcony she looked up at the sky, Vincent I know you can hear me I miss you. Vincent stopped by father's chamber to say goodnight and to get hissuitcase than headed to his room. He had just laid them down when he heard it. Catherine I miss you too. He could tell she was tried as he felt her fall asleep. Sweet dreams my love and he fell asleep himself. Daylight arrived and Catherine called Joe to let him know she was back and would return to work in a few days. Everything all right Cath? Yes Joe everything is just fine. Goodbye Joe. Vincent took a day off from work to get a few things done but didn't accomplish much as he was too anxious to see Catherine again. The evening arrived and at 10:00 Catherine heard the familiar knock on her balcony door. Opening them she ran into Vincent's waiting arms. Oh Vincent I have missed you so. Catherine I have missed you as well. Vincent I cannot be away from you anymore I need you with me always. I know Catherine I feel the same way and they spent a quiet evening together. Three weeks have gone by and they have gotten back into their daily routine. He visits her at night and she visits Below but it is not enough. They need each other constantly. Their fourth week back Catherine asked to see Peter medically as she has been suspecting something for a week now. Peter confirmed what she already suspected; Vincent had gotten her with child. The news was the happiest she had ever heard but she asked Peter not to mention it to Vincent. She wants to wait a little longer because of the loss of their first child. Peter told her he was very happy for them and he would not mention it until she's ready. Peter can I talk to you? Yes Catherine whatis it? Peter I want to live Below with Vincent and I want our child raised Below with its father. But I cannot ask him after what happened the last time. What am I going to do? Catherine I don't know but I'll see if I can figure something out. Thanks Peter and she left At the same time Vincent is Below talking to father and not reading Catherine's thoughts he said he need's Catherine with him Below. I need her in my life, by my side, waking up to her, going to bed with her but I cannot ask her to give up her life for me. I don't have that right. Vincent Catherine was willing to give up everything for you before that was   her decision but you would not let her. If you feel this strongly about it now and realize you were wrong not to let her, you owe it to both of you to ask her. Father I want to ask her to marry and live Below as my wife. Will you help me plan a special dinner so I can? Vincent how about this weekend and I'll take care of everything for you. Just tell me what you need. Thank you father and he gave him a big hug. Now father just hopes Catherine hasn't changed her mind. Friday arrived and Vincent asked Catherine to come Below. When they got to his chamber she could not believe her eyes. Vincent had a candlelit dinner prepared and she heard classical music softly playing. Looking at him Vincent this is so lovely.   Taking her hand he led her to the table and her seat. He sat down as well. Before he served he gave her a red and a white rose. Taking them with tears in her eyes she said Vincent they are so beautiful. Thank you.   Catherine please don't cry.   I'm sorry Vincent but this is so sweet. Come let us eat. They shared a very romantic dinner of steak, salad and a light red wine. After they had eaten Vincent led her to his bed and asked her to sit. On bended knee he said Catherine I love you with all my heart, I need you with me forever. I know I have no right to ask you to give up your life but taking her left hand he removed a small black box from his vest pocket a nd said Catherine will you marry me and live Below as my wife? With tears in her eyes she said Vincent yes, yes, yes and she threw herself in his arms. He gently sat her back and opened the box. Inside was a half-inch square piece of crystal that matched the necklace he gave her mounted on a thin gold band. Hanging his head he said Catherine I know I cannot give you diamonds but I can give you another part of my world. Taking his face within her hands, she lifted it up. Looking into his eyes she said Vincent this ring is beautiful and means more to me than any diamond every could. I love you and she placed a soft kiss on his lips. After they separated she said Vincent I was going to wait to tell you this a little later but I think now is the perfect time. What is it Catherine?
Vincent we're going to have a baby. He takes her within his arms, with
tears in his eyes and a with big grin on his face he said Catherine I could
not be happier. A baby for us. Yes Vincent a baby.. I love you Catherine
and they held each other close?

Giving her a kiss Vincent releases Catherine and asked her to relax while
he takes the dirty dishes to the kitchen. Smiling at him she took off her
shoes and lay upon his bed. Taking in the seductive picture she made, he
left the room. While he was gone she looked at the beautiful ring her
placed on her finger letting everyone know she belonged to him. She
reached under her shirt and brought the crystal necklace into her view.
He had given it to her a week after they returned from the cabin. It means
so much to her that she never removes it. The necklace always stays close
to her heart.

Vincent returned and saw her admiring both of the gifts he gave her and
could feel how strongly she cherished them. Hearing him return she asked
that he sit beside her on the bed. Holding his hand she told him she wants
their child to know both worlds. His or her home will be Below and they
will visit the cabin often to enjoy the sunshine. She told him that it
will take her about three weeks to get everything taken care of above and
than she will move Below. Catherine are you sure this is what you really
want? Vincent I have never been surer of anything else in my life except
for how much I love you.

My mother died fifteen years ago and my father died not long ago. He was
the only family I had left. I have a few close friends that I will miss.
But being married to you and having your child is all I'll ever need.
Vincent I thought I had been in love before but I was wrong. The depth of
my love for you is scary at times. The power of the love I feel for you
sometimes makes me think it is a wonderful dream and may come to an end.
Than I see you knowing that you love me in return and you will protect me
makes me no longer afraid. When you would not let me live Below I lost my
dream and my will to live. Vincent I need you with me always. You are the
other part of my soul. I am not complete unless I am with you.   I had
told Jamie before that I would do whatever I had to keep you in my life.
So you see Vincent I could not regret leaving my life Above because that
was never really my life. I was waiting for you to come along and sweep me
off my feet giving me the life I was destined to live. I have you Vincent
and I will never ever let you go and she takes his lips in a kiss.

Vincent broke the kiss and told her that he wanted to tell her some things
as well. Holding her hand he said Catherine growing up I had friends and
family. I was lonely at times being different as I explained before. I
use to think sometimes about having a normal life. Falling in love,
getting married and maybe having children. This was a dream I had always
hoped for. As I got older that dream began to fade and I gave up hope for
a life like that realizing what I am. Then I met you and everything
changed my dream held a possibility of coming true. When we met and you
accepted me I fell in love with you immediately. The Bond we share only
intensifies that love. I had never felt as strongly as I did that day that
you were the woman I was looking for all my life. Through our connection I
was able to read your thoughts and I felt your emotions and desires for me
and I knew I had to have you for my own. You have captured my heart
Catherine and my love for you is so strong that I will never be able to
love another.
The day you left the tunnels it broke my heart. I knew that I had lost my
chance for the happiness I had wished for but I would not let you give up
everything for me I loved you too much. Now that all of this is in the
past let us put the unhappiness behind us and focus on our future and our
baby. Starting with the top button of Catherine's shirt, Vincent began to
slowly remove her clothes as he worked his seductive web around her body
taking them on a journey of love that neither one of them could ever have
dreamed possible.

The next three weeks went by quickly for Catherine. She spent her weekdays
Above and her weekends Below with Vincent. She told Joe the second week
that she was resigning and moving away. He told her he would miss her
dearly. She was more than an employee to him she was a friend. She said
goodbye to her best co-worker Edie. Their goodbye ended in tears. She
promised everyone that she would try and keep in touch. She had called her
childhood and best friend Jen and told her she and Vincent were getting
married and she wanted her to be maid of honor.   She had told Jen about
Vincent about a week after they returned from the cabin. Jen could not
wait to meet him. Catherine had told her that he is beautiful and
different from any other guy she had ever known. It was love at first
sight for both of them.

Returning to the present, Catherine took one last look at the apartment
that held so many memories. She went on the balcony one last time. She
and Vincent had happy and loving memories on this balcony. He called it
their window to the world. Lost in thought she did not know he had come.
Catherine? Vincent you're here. I had to come to share one last evening
here with you. They held each other and looked one last time at the city
of lights. She told him that she had one truckload of furniture that she
needed to put in storage and than she would come Below. He gently kissed
her lips and said he would see her later. I love you Catherine and he
climbed off the balcony.

With Peter's help and a few of the tunnel helpers they stored her last
load. Peter dropped her off at the tunnel entrance and told her he would
return the Uhaul truck in the morning. Vincent met her at the entrance
with a white rose. Hi my love are you ready to go home? Yes Vincent that
sounds nice holding hands they went to his chamber. Vincent and Catherine
spent most of the evening unpacking her belongings and a little
rearranging. Vincent would not let her lift anything heavy in her
condition so she moved the smaller items. After they were done they had a
light dinner brought to them and they spent most of the evening reading to
each other. Since the weather was still warm Catherine put on one of her
own gowns to sleep in and Vincent had on a light pair of pajama pants that
Catherine had brought him. They talked about the baby as to whether it is
a boy or a girl and who it might take after. Rather it was Vincent or
Catherine they knew their child would be beautiful. As they lay in bed
Vincent notices the slight swelling of her belly evidence of their child
growing inside her womb.

A month after Catherine permanently moved Below she knew it was time for
Jen to meet Vincent. She sent a message through Peter to arrange for Jen
to come Below. Catherine knew Peter had explained the tunnel community to
her but she wanted to talk to her about Vincent. Peter brought her to the
North Park tunnel entrance where Catherine met her. Cath I am so glad to
see you. You look so happy as they gave each other a hug. Jen I have never
been happier. Life with Vincent is a dream come true. Cath I'm glad. Now
when do I meet your secret fianc�? Jen I explained before he's different
but he is so beautiful and I love him so. Ok Cathy where's the man of your
dreams? Catherine went to the tunnel entrance and called Vincent. He came
out but had his cloak and hood on. Jen this is Vincent. Jen could tell he
was over six feet tall and his body under his cloak was very impressive
indeed. It could put Mr. Universe to shame. Than he removed his hood and
Jen could only stare. Cath you have got to be the luckiest woman in the
universe to have a man like Vincent. He is beautiful. Yes Jenn I am lucky
to have had Vincent fall in love with me. Taking Catherine close he said
no Jen I am the lucky one for Catherine's love. So you two when is the
big day. We will be getting married in four weeks Below. Come Jen let me
introduce you to our world. Hearing Catherine's words Vincent smiled and
let her led the way.
