DISCLAIMER: I don't own Victorious:(
Here's the epilogue to The Real Cat! Last chapter, hope you like it(:
"DADDY!" Beck Oliver heard as he walked through the door of his apartment. A little five year old girl with wavy brown hair, Becks eyes and Jades facial features ran up to him as he stepped in. he picked her up and twirled her around.
"Hello there Gemma." He said, smiling as he kissed her head and then set her on his hip as he walked into the house, hopefully to find his wife of two years.
"Dada!" Beck heard as there was the sound of feet padding unstably across the wood floor. He looked to see his two year old son, Jesse, wobbling towards him on shaky legs. Beck felt his face break out into a huge grin. He picked up Jesse with his other arm.
"Jade?" He called questioningly. He set down Jesse and Gemma and walked into their room. Jade wasn't in there. He walked into his 7 year old son's room, and found Jade coloring with him.
"Hey Jade, Daniel." He said, leaning up against the door as he set down Jesse and Gemma, and they ran over to Daniel's coloring supplies and started scribbling away.
"Hey dad!" Daniel said cheerfully, coloring away.
Jade's face lit up, and she got up and walked over to Beck. Jade was very pregnant again, and she was due any time now. She wrapped her arms around his neck as she hugged him tightly. "Hey Beck." She murmured, pressing her face into his chest. He and Jade walked out of Daniel's room, and into theirs.
"Hey baby." Beck said softly, rubbing Jades back as she hugged him.
"Did you finish up the 5th season of Twisted now?" Jade asked Beck as they pulled away. He nodded.
"Andre invited us to come over to his house tomorrow." She said.
"It'll be good to see him again." Beck said truthfully. Jade looked sad.
"Do you still think about her Beck?" she asked softly. Beck nodded, swallowing the lump in his throat.
"I've been thinking about her a lot lately. Especially because of what tomorrow is.." He trailed off, looking close to tears. Tomorrow is Cats birthday, and she should be turning 26, but instead she's… you know.
Jade nodded, blinking back tears.
"Mommy! Look what I made!" Gemma ran into the room, clutching a drawing. Jade picked it up, and her heart stopped.
It was a drawing of a girl in a pink dress, slightly tanned skin, bright red hair, and big brown eyes with a huge smile on her face. Above the girl, were the messily written letters MY FRIEND CAT. written in all caps.
Beck was the first to talk. "How do you know her, Gemma?"
"Well, I see her sometimes. Like when I'm sad or angry, or really bored. She said she love red velvet cupcakes, and she used to be mommy's very best friend." Gemma said brightly, sucking on her thumb. "And, sometimes she comes in my dreams."
"Next time you see her, tell her she's still my best friend." Jade said her voice cracking. Gemma looked confused.
"Why don't you just tell her yourself?" she asked. "She's right next to you. She's looking right at you."
Jade turned, but she didn't see anything. Then, she saw Cat very briefly. Cat was wearing a white dress, white high heels, her red hair was down and flowing, still curled at the ends. She had a small smile, a sad one. And Jade was pretty sure she saw angel wings.
"Cat." she chocked out, tears falling freely. Cat smiled happily and nodded, then disappeared.
Gemma yawned. "I'm tired mommy. Tuck me in?" she asked, sucking her thumb as she yawned. Jade wiped away her tears, and went off to put all the kids to bed.
Beck sat down on the bed he shared with Jade, and looked around the room. "Cat?" he whispered hesitantly. She appeared right in front of him. Hi beck. He heard her sweet voice wash over him, the voice he thought he would never hear again. "What are you doing here? How are you here?" He asked. I'm here because I look after you and Jade. I wanna make sure you guys are okay. She smiled. "Can I… is it okay if I hug you?" he asked uncertainly. Cat threw herself on him, hugging him tight. Beck couldn't help what he did next. He kissed Cat.
It was nothing like their first and only kiss. This time Cat wasn't just fulfilling her last wish before she died, on the brink of death. Beck wasn't caught off guard, even though he still enjoyed it.
No, this time it was different. It was something they both wanted, that they were both aware of.
They finally broke away, because Beck needed to breathe. "I love you Kitty." He whispered, using his old nickname for her. She smiled softly. I love you too Beck. I really do. She hugged him, and then stood back. I have to go. But I will always be with you Beck. Don't forget that. Beck nodded, and watched as she faded away. He rubbed his hand across his face shakily, then walked and took off his pants and shirt, leaving him in only his boxers. He grabbed a white tee-shirt, threw it on and lay down. When Jade came in he pretended to be asleep. He just couldn't deal with anything right now.
The next morning, while they were getting ready for Andre's, Beck hugged Jade.
"You know I love you, right Jade?"
"Of course Beck. And you know I love you too."
And it was true, that Beck loved Jade. He wouldn't ever really get over Cat, but for now he had Jade, and his wonderful children, with another on the way.
He would say he couldn't be happier, but that would be a lie.
For now though, he guessed this was as good as it would get.
Andre had a successful music career, and he had a pretty good life. He even had a beautiful girlfriend named Dominique. There was one thing missing.
His Lil' Red.
And tomorrow she should have been turning 26.
He knew she was in a better place, and wasn't in any more pain, but he still missed her. He missed Robbie too; he would never be able to forget either of them.
He felt it was good that at least, now they knew the real Cat. If only they had paid more attention, maybe they could have helped her.
No more what ifs. What was done was done, and they couldn't change that.
He would always miss Cat, but it's a bit easier to carry on now.
"I miss ya, Lil' Red." Andre whispered as he looked into the night sky from his balcony.
I miss you too Andre.
He whipped around, and saw Cat sitting there looking angelic. She walked over and hugged him. he hugged her. She smiled, and then disappeared.
But Andre knew he saw his lil red. He would never forget her.
Andre went on to marry his girlfriend Dominique, and together they had 2 beautiful girls, and 1 handsome son.
Beck and Jade had another girl, and then later on they had 1 more girl, and 1 more boy.
As Tori, she couldn't live with the guilt of what she had done to Cat. So she decided to kill herself. Just as she was about to do it, Cat stopped her. Ever since Tori has been a nicer person, and went on to marry Danny.
Cat watched over her friends, and occasionally Robbie would join her.
And not one of them forgot the wonderful person that was Caterina Valentine.
And we have come to an end of The Real Cat :( I think now I'm probably going to do a Bat story, because of all the FEELS I had while writing Cat and Becks part, and even from just thinking about them.
