DISCALIMER: I don't own CSI: Crime scene investigation and i don't make any money from it
Chapter 4.
A few days later Catherine was at home reading a book or rather she was trying, but she was for some reason very restless and annoyed so she couldn't focus as much as she wished she could.
"UMF" she let out and threw the book hardly against the wall as the doorbell rang.
"What now" she though annoyed as she wasn't in the mood for visitors, as she struggled to get up from the coach she yelled: Only a minute I'll be right there.
Catherine walked towards the door when the doorbell rand again and she annoyed yelled: Jeez I said I would be right there.
She tore the door open and gasped when she saw Eddie outside, he looked at her frustrated face and said: Sorry bout that, just felt like teasing you.
"Eddie, you're, you're back" she said in shock while a smile slowly appeared on her face.
"I am" he said and looked at her, but he wasn't smiling instead he looked sad.
"Is something wrong?" she asked worried since he didn't look happy at all to see her.
"It's just may I come inside?" he asked.
"Of course, I'm sorry" she said and let him in, he followed her into the living room where he sat down on the coach.
"Eddie, loverboy what's wrong, are you not happy to see me?" Catherine asked concerned as he looked so sad, his face was pale and his eyes didn't meet his.
"No it's not that, it's just God I love you and I missed you, but I couldn't bear to look you in the eyes after what I have done, it's so horrible over there" he said and for the first time she saw him cry.
"Eddie, it's ok, really it is" she said and gently put a hand on his arm.
"No it's not, Catherine you don't know what we do to people that really have done nothing wrong, and I'm not worthy of you anymore" he said, got up and walked over to the window.
"Don't you go on talking like that you silly man, of course you are, you did nothing wrong as all you do is obey order" she said as she joined his side and put an arm around his waist and leaned closely.
"But Cath it won't stop, it will continue as long as the war does go all to make this land better" he said with a sob.
At that moment Catherine felt the baby kick hardly from deep inside her and said: Ed, our little girl wants to say hello to her daddy.
"I'm not worthy of her either what will she think of me when she old enough to know" he said.
"Would you stop talking like that and say hello to your daughter" said Catherine in a firm tone.
Eddie sank down on his knees so his head was on the same level as her belly, lifted up her sweater, stroke the belly a little and said: It's ok little one daddy's here.
The baby kicked hardly when Eddie said: Cath I think I can see her hand.
"I told you she wanted to say hello and what other way do you do that then shake hands" said Catherine.
Eddie placed his hand on the belly where he saw the tiny hand ad said: Hello there little one, you know Catherine I think this one will grow up to be really smart.
"Did you honestly expect me to give birth to a stupid child" said Catherine with a giggle.
"No not with you as a mother, she sure likes to move a lot dosen't she" he said as he felt every movement inside her belly.
"She does" she replied with a yawn.
"You tired?" he asked a bit concerned.
"A little, would you mind if I lay down just for a little while I need rest" she said.
"No, not at all, you want me to rest with you?" he asked.
"I do" she said, took his hand and dragged him towards the bedroom.
"Ohhhh, ohhhhh, ohhhhh" Catherine let out some hours later as Eddie suckled on her breast.
She pushed his face closer to her so he almost swallowed it while she cried out even more in pleasure.
"Cath really you are chocking me" Eddie said when he came up for air a second later.
"Need you, please go on" she said.
"What is with you, you are ten times more randy as ever before, it's like you can't get enough" said Eddie since they had been going at it for over an hour.
"I am more randy than before, think it's the little one's making me feel this way, would you now shut up and take me" she demanded.
"Yes ma'am" he said and got inside her and started to work his way further in while she screamed out even louder before she again started to shake beneath him and he filled her up before he got of her and said: That's it I need a break.
"Ohh and I want more" she said with a sigh.
"Then get another man in the mean while, I need a bit of rest I'm not as young as you" he said.
"Really I can have a lower on the side" she said with a giggle.
"Aren't ya funny liebchen, I prefer if you didn't" he said and smiled at her.
"I was only joking, I only want you" she said and gave him a gentle kiss.
"So what are you going to call then little one when she's born?" Eddie asked.
"I dunno as I haven't though about it have you?" she replied.
"A little yes" he said since he had.
"You have let me hear it then" she said curiously.
"I was thinking something like Lindsey, Nora or Courtney" he said.
"I can't say I care too much about Courtney, but the other two I like" she said.
"You know what we will do if the war ever ends and we both get out alive" he said.
"Don't talk like that of course we will get out of it alive and what are you thinking" she said.
"That we could move from the city and get a house by the river bank with a huge weeping willows" he said dreamily.
"You're such a dreamer Eddie" said Catherine with a giggle as she couldn't picture her self living outside the city.
"Why because I like weeping willows" he said.
"That to and I love you just the same" she said and kissed him again.
"I know you do liebchen and I love you to, but now you need some more rest" he said.
"Yeah, yeah" she said closed her eyes and drifted of as Eddie watched her.
It was midnight when Catherine was woken by Eddie twisting and turning in his sleep like he was having a bad dream of some kind, he was mumbling something, but she couldn't make out why.
She got closer to him and gently let her hand slide into his, his hand closed around it and he said: I don't ever want to loose you or the little one.
"You never will Eddie, I promise" she replied not sure he could hear her, but it seemed to calm him down since he stopped and started to sleep more peacefully.
Catherine knew that what she had just said would be a hard promise to make since it was war time and anything could happen to either of them, but she also knew that Eddie needed all the support her could get right now and since he was her man she figured he would stand by him in any way that she could even if she didn't quite agree we the things he had to do.
Catherine gently stroked his check and he let out a sigh, she wondered if she would ever know what went on in those camps and if she really wanted to know.
It was then she felt some hard kicking from inside and she gently stroke her belly and said: It's ok little one, mommy is right here.
"So everyone is having bad dreams now" she though with a sigh, released her self from Eddie's grip, walked over to the window and looked out.
It was quiet for a change, just dark and quiet, oh how she wished it would stay that way, she let her eyes rest on Eddie for a second, his dark hair had a few stripes of grey in it, his cover was pulled of a bit so she could see his chest, he was still quite fit with some brown chest hair, his chest was moving slowly up and down as he let out some grunts in his sleep.
Catherine looked outside at the street lights when she saw some people gather in the streets before they looked up at her with hateful eyes then they sneaked into a building further down the street and it was all quiet again.
"So this is like people will look at me now" she though and sighed, couldn't someone win this war so this could all be over and she thought about Eddie's dream of the house with the lake it sounded rather appealing now.
"Catherine what are you doing over by the window, come back to bed" she suddenly heard Eddie say.
"I was just thinking a bit" she said and walked back to him.
"About what you look troubled" he said concerned.
"About the war and the life after, Eddie promise we move away, I couldn't bear those hateful looks anymore when it's all over" she said.
"Of course liebchen anything you want" he said and gave her a soft kiss.
"When do you have to go back?" she asked.
"I don't I got an office job instead because I wanted to be with you and the little one and it's paid much better" he said.
"You did, really you did that" she said happily.
"I did" he said.
"I would thank you properly, but I'm just too tired right now" she said and stroke his chest.
"Not to worry, we have plenty of time for that later, so who are giving you hateful looks, I though most of the people here were supportive of my brother and his family" said Eddie.
"Most not all are, but you shouldn't worry about that" she said.
"Hmmm" he said thoughtfully, not knowing what to think.
"We better get back to sleep as I have to get up really early tomorrow to work" she said with a huge yawn.
"Now that's attractive" he said and kissed her gently before he let his arms wrap around her.
"You make me feel so safe" was the last thing she said before she again was sound a sleep.
It was a week later and Catherine was working in the hospital when she felt some arms wrap around her and a voice said: So it's here you're working.
"Eddie let me go, I have work to do" she said with a giggle.
"You look awfully cute in that uniform do you know that" he said, turned her around and kissed her.
"Nah, just look big and ugly at the moment" she said with a sigh.
"No, you look really beautiful, so how is the little one doing today?" he asked and stroke her belly.
"She's doing just fine, playing around inside me, but at the moment she's taking a break" said Catherine, her hand now resting on top of Eddie's.
"That's good and how are you, you left before I woke up" he said.
"I'm a bit tired, other than that fine and had to cause they called and I was needed" she said.
"I understand" he said and kissed her forehead.
"So what are you doing here, I thought you were working all day" said Catherine.
"I am, but I have a lunch break and I wanted to see you" he said.
"Aren't you the sweetest" she said and kissed him.
"No you are" he said and gave her a hug.
"Ed is something wrong?" she asked since he looked a bit distant.
"Yeah it's the job, I have been placed else where" he said.
"What why?" she asked shocked.
"Because the Fuhrer wants me to do so and it's better paid" he said.
"When?" was all she asked.
"In two days" he said.
"I see but really I have to get back to work, I'll see you home later" she said and walked to another wing of the hospital.
"Catherine there is a patient that is asking for you" said Sara a few moments later.
"When is it not" said Catherine tiredly.
"Well he seems eager to see you" said Sara and smiled at her.
"Oh great another one of these stupid men that wants to hit on me" she thought annoyed, but said: Which wing?
"C, he got shoot in the shoulder, but it's taken care of and he's really handsome to" said Sara with a giggle.
"Umf" said Catherine and headed for the C wing to find the wounded man Sara had talked about.
She gasped when she saw Grissom sitting on the bed and said: What happened?
"War but no biggi, so how are you?" he asked.
"Just fine thanks, we both are" she said.
"Glad to hear and the dad is he still?" he asked.
"Living with us at the moment, so don't you try anything" she said, but he could tell she was halfway joking.
"Nah would never make a go at another man's woman" he said honestly.
"Good, so other than being shoot, how are you?" she asked.
"Fine, very much fighting, but we're also having some fun in between, I'm hoping to get better really fast so I can get back out and then home for Christmas" he said and smiled at her.
"Catherine" she suddenly heard from behind.
"Just a moment" she excused her self.
"I thought you left" she said.
"Apparently what are you doing flirting with that guy?" asked Eddie.
"I'm not flirting, just talking, he's an old friend" she said.
"Seemed like flirting to me" he said annoyed.
"Well it wasn't" she said.
"Hmmm, well I just thought we might go out to dinner tonight" he said.
"That sounds good are we meeting at home or at the restaurant?" she replied.
"At the restaurant if you don't mind, I have to fix something first, I send the driver for you" he said.
"Mhm, when are we meeting?" she asked.
"At 7 pm or is that to late?" he asked.
"Just perfect, can hardly wait, will there be desert later loverboy" she said with a giggle.
"Oh I think I can arrange something, but really now I have to go, so I'll see you tonight" he said before he kissed her softly and left.
Catherine walked back to Grissom and he said: The father?
"Mhm, he's taking me out tonight" she said excited.
"That's nice, but he looked kinda old" said Grissom surprised that she would date someone his age.
"He's just perfect and he loves me dearly" she said with a dreamy smile.
"Who wouldn't" said Grissom thoughtfully, thinking there was something familiar with that guy, but he couldn't quite place it.
"Huh" she replied confused.
"Just that you seem like, never mind" he said and looked down.
"Hmm, I better get on with my round, I'll check on you later ok" she said.
"Of course" he said as he watched her leave.
Eddie was a little early for his meeting with Catherine and now he was thinking about the guy he had seen Catherine with earlier. He guesses he must have been at least half his age and he had to be a solider of some kind since he was at the hospital in the first place.
He figured he would ask when Catherine go there and just at that moment she walked in the door, he looked at her and gasped, she was wearing a black dress, her hear was pulled back by a black with a black silk bond and around her neck she was wearing a diamond neck ledge he had give her.
She sat down by the table and said: Eddie close your moth please.
"Sorry you're just so beautiful" he said as the waiter came over and asked if they wanted anything.
Eddie looked at her, it was really a shame she had to drink non alcoholic, before he said: Just water.
"You can drink if you like you know" she said.
"I know, but I don't mind not doing it" he said and placed her hand on top of his while the waiter rolled his eyes without them noticing.
"So that guy at the hospital, where do you know him from?" asked Eddie.
"He's a Captain from Norway and we have run into each other a couple of times when he has been here, but don't worry he's not my type you are" she said calmly.
"Hmmm" he said not to pleased.
"Why Eddie are you jealous" she said with a giggle.
"Yes since even if you are pregnant you are a very attractive woman" he said.
She just smiled at him and let her hand stroke his a little before the waiter came back with the water and left again.
"Uhm Catherine there is something that I" he started.
"Yes" she said her eyes were shining like sapphires.
"Been needing to ask you, we been together for quite a while and I really love you and the little one of course" he said.
"I know and I love you to" she replied hoping this was going where she though it was going.
"And I really want us to spend the rest of out lives together so Catherine Braun will you marry me" he said and held up a ring, it was a ¾ carat diamond ring, the ring it self was of gold with what looked like seven diamonds on the front.
"Of course I will Eddie and it's beautiful" she said and put it on her finger.
"You sure" he said.
"Of course I'm sure I would even prove it if there wasn't so many people here" she said with a giggle.
"You naughty girl" he said and let out a chuckle.
"Hey that's what get us to this" she said and pointed at her big belly.
"Yeah that was fun" he said and let out a chuckle again.
"So will you liked to be thanked right now I can be very quick" she said with a sly smile.
"You are not doing what I think you are thinking" he said in a warning tone.
"Maybe" she said and looked around to see how many were watching them.
"You are not doing that you can thank me later" he said, his tone was even a bit firmer now.
"Ok I won't, but Ed please don't say we are going home after cause well you know" she said with a giggle.
"We plan to be loud I know and we're not" he said and smiled at her.
"Were are we going?" she asked curiously.
"It's a surprise" he said.
"Please tell me" she said.
"No, I won't" he said as he loved to tease her like that.
"Umf" she said.
"Don't go all grumpy now you'll love it I promise he said" said stroke her hand gentle.
"Oh ok, but can we please order because I'm really hungry" she said.
"Of course my lady" he said and called for the waiter.
It was a bit later that night and Eddie had blindfolded Catherine so she didn't see where they were going, now she was anxious to get the blindfold of so she asked: Ed are we there soon, I don't like not seeing where I'm going.
"Soon, just a little longer I promise" he said and gave her a soft kiss which quickly were followed by even more kisses as she was very much aroused.
"Liebchen would you slow down" he said under his breath.
"But Eddie I really want to thank you" she said.
"I got that, but just hold on a little longer we are right there" he said and settled her with a long deep kiss before he lead her up some stairs and opened a door before he took the blindfold of.
Catherine looked around and quickly found out she was in a suite at a hotel, she walked over to the huge bed, sat down and said: I love it and I love you so much, have you any idea how happy you make me.
"Just as happy as you make me" he said and sat down next to her.
"Mhm" she replied before she again started to kiss him hungrily again and pushed him down on the bed by doing so while he let out some growls as she got on top when she suddenly stopped and got of him.
He sensed that something was wrong and asked: Why did you stop all of a sudden?
"Stupid baby is in the way" she said annoyed as she couldn't get on top of him the way she wanted.
"My poor liebchen" he said and sat down next to her.
"It's no use Ed, I'm just big and fat and ugly" she said and turned his head away from him so he wouldn't see her tears.
"Catherine you gotto stop saying that, because you're not" he said and let his hand rest on her thigh while he turned her head towards him and kissed her.
She didn't replay, just pulled him closer and started to kiss him hungrily again until she had to stop for air and he said: You are so tense, why don't I make you a nice warm bath to loosen you up a bit.
"Uhm ok, but only of you take the bath with me" she said and reached in for another kiss.
"Of course" he said and dragged her into the bathroom before he turned on the tap when there were loud knocks on the door.
"Oh great now you have to leave again" she said and her tears started to fall again.
"Käse, not now" Eddie thought and went out, opened the door and found two of his brothers men outside and said: Guys really this isn't a bad time.
"Well Adolf wants you now" said one of them.
"Well tell him to bugger of since I'm bizzy right now" said Eddie annoyed.
"You know he won't take no for an answer" said the other one a bit amused.
"Well this time he had to because I can't leave, oh I got it tell Eva to tell Al that Cath and I are having an anniversary and that it wouldn't be wise to leave she will know what it is about" said Eddie and slammed the door in their face before he went back to Catherine and said: All yours.
"You sent them away just like that, but won't Adolf get mad" she said.
"Probably" he said.
"But then you will get in trouble" she said worried.
"Well then be it because I'm not leaving you tonight" he said in a firm tone.
"You're really are" she said a bit more cheerful.
"I am now will you get up in the tub" he said.
"No want you behind me" she said as she got undressed along with him.
He just nodded and got in before her, Catherine looked at him for a second, before she got in and sat down in front of him and said: You're really ready aren't you.
"For you I'm always ready" he said and kissed her shoulder gently before he leaned his head on it.
"Mmmmm" she let out as he was rubbing her lower back gently and nibbled on her neck.
He kept going while her moan became louder and louder before he said: I need to have you.
"Bed" she said under her breath and got quickly out while he followed.
She wondered how exactly she should do it, but decided that the best way would probably be from the side and let him take her from behind, she sighed and said: Don't be to rough ok cause the baby can get hurt.
"I won't" he said and kissed her shoulder again before he gently got inside her and Catherine let out a sigh of satisfaction before he worked his way further in until the both cum and he got out of her.
"Thanks you for being so generous towards me" she said and gave him a kiss.
"You are welcome" he said and stroke her belly gently before she yawned and said: Mind if I slept just a little, it's been a real long day.
"No, not at all" he said.
"Hold me" she said and he put his arms around her, she was just about to fall a sleep when she said: I will make up for it later.
"I'm not in a hurry" he said and kissed her shoulder.
"But still I wanna" was all she managed to say before she drifted of.
