So I told Jen I would get this done days ago…

Catherine stormed into his office and slammed the door shut behind her causing him to look up from his pile of paperwork.

"We have to talk."

"Hello to you too Catherine."

"Don't you hello me you son of a bitch!" she practically shouted. "If it wasn't for you this wouldn't be happening, I wouldn't be….." she was pacing his office waving her arms around like a mad woman.

"Be what?" to say he was confused would be an understatement.

Catherine snapped her head to look at him and sighed throwing two pregnancy tests onto his desk.

"Congratulations, you're going to be a father Lou."

Staring down at the two tests resting on top of his open file his confusion turned to shock.

"How do you know its mine?" he asked staring down at the little pink lines that indicated a positive result on both tests.

Catherines mouth dropped open in shock at his comment.

"I don't sleep around!" she ground out angrily.

"I didn't say you did…."

"So what are you saying then?" she interrupted.

"Well how can it be mine?"

Catherine sighed and began pacing again running her fingers through her hair.

"The party for Saras birthday, remember how we woke up in the same bed together?"

Lou nodded and looked back down at the desk. "We didn't do anything though."

"Oh come on Lou you know as well as I that we had sex, there's no way that we could wake up naked with one another and nothing had happened."

Lou sighed and shook his head standing up from his desk and pacing behind it.

"We cant have…..if we did we would of remembered it or parts of it at least."

Catherine closed her eyes thinking that getting through to him was like getting blood out of a stone.

"Lou we both had loads to drink that night and…" looking at the floor she started to shuffle her feet. "As time went on I started to remember little bits and pieces of the night."

Lou stopped pacing and looked at her. "You did?"

Catherine blushed and nodded looking at the floor. She knew what was coming next, he was going to ask what she remembered .

Deciding to bite the bullet and tell him before he even asked she started talking.

"I remember kissing you," she whispered. "We were waiting for the bathroom talking and laughing then we kissed, I don't remember what made me want to kiss you I just remember it made me feel really good."

Lou smiled when she said the last part and urged her to continue.

Smiling slightly she continued. "I don't know how we got there but the next thing I remember is being on the bed…..naked…..and you were kissing my body." Catherine started to blush furiously, just talking about what she remembered was turning her on.

Lou wrinkled his brow trying his hardest to remember anything about that night, he really wanted to be able to remember the one night that he got to spend with the woman he secretly loved with all of his heart and soul.

Blushing more Catherine continued.

"The next thing I remember is…." Catherine turned a bright shade of red.

"Go on." Lou could tell that what she was about to say was embarrassing or naughty but he really wanted to know about it.

Taking a deep breath Catherine closed her eyes. "You were inside me," she whispered. "I remember thinking I have never felt so full before."

Lou grinned smugly, he couldn't believe that he actually managed to make Catherine Willows feel that way and it was boosting his ego she flopped onto the sofa and put her head in her hands. Lou carefully sat next to her and put his arm around her gently, that's when he felt the slight shaking of her shoulders and heard the tiny sobs."Hey, don't cry Catherine. Everything is going to be okay." He pulled her against his side and made soothing motions on her back with his sniffled and buried her face against his chest getting her tears and mascara all over his white shirt. "How can it be alright? I'm going to be a single mother again." she said with a sniff. "I don't think I can go through it all again, I messed up with Lindsey and I don't want another child thinking I'm a crap mom."

"You're not a crap mom, Lindsey is a great kid."

"I thought that part of my life was over, god how can I be so stupid! I never have sex without protection but you!" she glared at him.

"Me?" Lou leaned back to look at her.

"Yes, you!" she jabbed her finger against his chest. "You were too god damn eager to and I quote get inside me and make me scream to even put on a condom."

"And did I?" Lou grinned.

Catherine buried her face against him. "I don't know I don't remember…having an orgasm or you having one for that matter," she mumbled. "But…I'm not a screamer so probably not."

Lou grinned. "Well I think its pretty obvious I did." He put his hand gently on her flat stomach, Catherine nodded still got her face buried in his chest."And you won't be a single mom," he gently kissed the top of her head. "I am going to be there every step of the way for you and my baby, no matter what you want, no matter what time of the night you call me and I'll be there." he spoke softly.

Catherine lifted her head slightly and wiped away some of her tears, her make up was smudged and her mascara was leaving little black trails down her cheeks."Really?"

Lou smiled and nodded. "We may not be together Catherine but that is my baby you are carrying and I am going to be involved as much as I can."

"I'd like that." She whispered and cuddled up to him again.

Lou held her as she rested against him silently making promises to love and protect both his child and the woman who was falling asleep against his chest.
