Positive
Chapter One: The Test
Catherine

When I woke up I went into the bathroom and opened one of the drawers in there to get out a new razor so I could shave my legs before I went to work and I realised that I had an unopened box of tampons. It does feel like a long time since I was last on my period so I went into my bedroom and looked on my calendar and after doing some quick maths I realised that I was 6 days late. I turned away from the calendar and took a deep breath, this cannot be happening! Vincent was going to freak out and go crazy when he found out.

Vincent was very clear when we started having sex that he didn't want to have children because he didn't want them to end up like him which I understood. All you want is the best for your child and having that child brought into what is going on with Muirfield and Vincent right now it's not exactly a fair up bringing.

I quickly got dressed and went to the pharmacy before going round to the hideout, I opened the door and walked in seeing Vincent doing some morning workouts. He obviously heard me come in and stopped what he was doing, he got this concentrated look on his face and he suddenly looked suspicious "Your heart is racing… what's the matter?" He asked me and stood up in front of me.

"Is JT here?" I asked him looking around for any sign of him.

"No he's at work… why what's wrong?" He asked again concerned.

"Vincent I'm six days late on my period" I told him.

"You're what? Cat I'm so sorry. I thought that I… we were being careful" He stated.

"I've brought a pregnancy test but I didn't want to do it alone" I confessed.

"Okay well if you go… do whatever you need to do I'll wait right here for you" He said and I nodded. I got the pregnancy test out of my bag and went towards the bathroom with it.

After taking the pregnancy test I put it back in the box and put it on the side before setting the time on my phone. I walked over to Vincent and I put his arms around his waist and he wrapped his arms around me too, bringing me as close to him as possible. He placed a kiss on the top of my head and I heard him take a deep breath "Stop you're making me more nervous" I told him and heard him chuckle lightly "I know that you don't want me to be pregnant but we have to talk about what to do if that test comes back positive" I told him and before he had time to answer the timer went off. I walked over to the box and took a deep breath before taking the pregnancy test out, I held it in my hand but I couldn't look at the result I was to scared so I gave the test and the box to Vincent to look at "I can't look" I told him.

He looked at the test then looked at the box to find out what the lines meant and he looked at me with sadness "It's positive" He stated and I took in a deep breath, he put them down next to him and walked over to me. We stood there hugging and I soon started crying "Catherine you know that you cannot keep this baby, you're going to have to abort it" He told me and I didn't reply to him. He pulled away from the hug and took a step away from me "Catherine I mean it. It's not safe for me to have a child that is biologically mine. With my DNA that baby can kill you and I have spent all this time trying to protect you" He explained to me.

I grabbed his hands and studied him "Vincent I know that it's not safe and it's not until now that I realise I want you and me to have our own child… I want us to be a real family. We don't know for certain that this baby is going to turn out a Beast, for all we know the baby could be fine which makes the abortion unfair" I explained but he shook his head "I need you to help me with this" I said.

"Cat we cannot have this baby! What if it kills you? I know you think it's unfair, I do too, I don't want to get rid of my child but I don't want you to die… I've risked to much to let that happen" Vincent stated. I could see that he was getting angry but I needed him to keep calm so we could talk properly about this.

As I took a step closer to him he let go of my hands and moved to the other side of the room. He leaned his back against the wall and started taking deep breaths to calm himself down "Do you see how easy it is to snap into Beast mode? You know what I'm thinking because I tell you, a baby cannot tell you what it's thinking… what if it hurts someone? What if it hurts you?" He asked in frustration.

"Vincent you are an amazing man and you will be a great father! We don't even know if this baby is going to cause harm to me or anyone else and you just want to kill it? Vincent it's an innocent baby who never asked to be here. Vincent we thought that you couldn't have children but now that's been disputed, it's a miracle" I told him but he shook his head at me "Vincent I'm keeping this baby and I need you… now more then ever" I told him.

"Cat please don't keep this baby… I don't want you to get hurt or killed" He said.

"Fine… I'll do this on my own then" I stated and went to the front door, I walked out and slammed the door closed behind me so he knew that I was upset with him.

You know I never had Vincent down as the type to leave me high and dry when I needed him most considering that he was always there dressed as a knight in shining armour and riding in with his white horse when I needed him. I thought Vincent was going to be one of the constant things in my life but now I know that was all wishful thinking and he was really a coward! When things went pear shaped he ran away from his fears and left everyone else to clean up the mess he left behind.

When I got home I went and laid down on my bed with my back to the window. I placed a hand over my stomach and before I knew it I was crying, I was crying because I was happy that I was going to become a mother, I was crying because I was sad I would be doing it on my own and I was crying because when I needed Vincent the most he left me high and dry. He was going to leave me to bring up this child on my own because it wasn't in the plan for him, does that sound like a real hero?

Vincent

As I sat on the fire escape I heard Catherine begin to cry and I wanted nothing more to do other then go in there, lay with her, cuddle her, kiss her and tell her I love her and everything will be okay but I know that it won't be okay. Catherine was pregnant with a baby that is going to have Beast DNA and I don't know what else to do. Everything that I've been doing is to protect her and how can I protect her if she isn't going to listen to me and get rid of that baby, what was I meant to do of that baby starts eating her insides? There is nothing that I can do.

Oh God can you imagine what will happen to me, Catherine and the baby if Muirfield find out what is going on? They will take her and they will lock her up like an animal so that they can do tests on her. Then they will ask her about me and she'll have no choice but to tell them everything she knows because they will threaten to harm or kill the baby or Tess or Heather.

Catherine's sobs stopped and I heard that her breathing had evened out. I looked inside the window and seen that she was fast asleep, she had her back to the window and her arm across her stomach in a protective manor. I seen that she had left the window open a little at the bottom so I lifted up the window and closed it behind me before going over to lay on the bed with her, she must have sensed me there because she moved closer to me and she put her head on my chest.

I didn't want to argue with her anymore about this so when she was starting to wake up I left the apartment and was going to give her the day to work and think about what I was saying and then I would meet hr from work and we could talk about what the each of us was thinking.

When I got home I seen JT sitting on his computer doing something "Nice to see you… Were you at Cat's last night?" He asked me.

"Yeah I stayed there last night" I replied before going and sitting on the sofa. I turned the TV but I couldn't concentrate on anything that was on.

"You going to tell me what's wrong?" JT asked as he sat down next to me.

"Cat's not listening to my advice about something that will keep her safe… of course I knew she wasn't going to go down without a fight but this is serious and she can't just not listen to what I have to say" I explained to him.

"What is it she's doing?" He asked.

"I can't say right now but me and Cat will tell you and Tess everything soon" I told him.

JT left shortly after because he had to go to work and I was left at the apartment by myself and I tried to take my mind of Cat and the baby by working out, tidying up and doing all sorts of things but nothing seemed to work. All I could think was that something bad was going to happen to her whether it be because of Muirfield or because the baby with the beast DNA was going to do something to her.

I couldn't sit here and do nothing so I grabbed my jacket and was about to leave when I heard someone walking to the door and I recognised Cat's heartbeat. I opened the door just as she was about to knock and I let her in "You going somewhere?" She asked me noticing that I had my jacket on.

"Actually I was about to leave to come find you and talk to you" I told her as we went over to the sofa "Aren't you supposed to be at work?" I asked her as we went to the bar, I handed her a bottle of water as she sat down on a bar stool.

"I told them that I wasn't feeling good and I wouldn't be in tomorrow… that way we can actually talk about things and not run away from all the problems" She told me.

"Well that sounds like a good idea and I'm glad that you are willing to talk" I said to her.

"I understand that you're worried about me and you want to keep me safe but at the same time you need to let me make my own decisions. Vincent I am having your baby and this is supposed to be the happiest times of our lives and here we are arguing about it. Don't you want us to be a family with our child and be… normal?" She asked me.

"Of course I would love for us to be a family with a child, get married, get a mortgage, have proper jobs and be a normal couple but you know that normal is not in the cards for us. I have to keep you safe, not just from the baby but from Muirfield as well. What if they take you and do experiments on your or something? What am I going to do to protect you? What if this baby starts destroying you from the inside out?" I questioned.

"Vincent I love you and I know that we can't be normal but I want this baby. I never realised how much until you told me the test was positive but I do and I want you and me to be a family with this child. If Muirfield find out about me and the baby then I know that you will be there and protect us because that's what you do and if they do get me then I'll fight to come back to you like I always do" She explained to me.

"Please can't you just see things from my perspective! What if it was me? What would you do if the situation was reversed?" I asked her.

"That's not fair… Vincent please. Do you want to have a child?" She asked.

"Yes of course I would love to be a dad" I told her.

"I want to be a mother… to your child" She said. She stood up and walked to me and we put our arms around each other "I love you Vincent and I want us to do this together because I love you and I know that we can do this" She said and looked up at me.

"Well then… I guess we're having a baby" I told her and she leaned up and kissed me "But I have conditions" I said and she rolled her eyes "Don't roll your eyes at me, the condition is that I basically become your doctor and we need to figure out a way to keep this quiet so Muirfield doesn't find out" I explained to her.

"We can sort all of that out tomorrow but for the rest of today I just want us to have this to ourselves and enjoy it before we need to tell JT and Tess" She said and I nodded and kissed her.

I am not basing this on season 1 or season 2. It's just a story that I have written but I have wrote another one which is going to be my version of Season 2 so it will have a different story line and some different characters. It should be out soon, I want to write the whole story before uploading any of it.

Thank you for reading this chapter, I hope you will continue to read the story. Please review, favourite and follow. LMM06
