Catherine woke as sunlight flooded threw the window covering her bare back
The sheets hung low on there hips as Vincent lay on his back and Catherine on her stomach
She lifted her head off the pillow and turned to see Vincent still asleep, the sunlight beamed off his chizzled body as her eyes travelled down the length of his torso
She leant over and pressed a light kiss to his chest before slipping out of bed and grabbing his shirt
She slipped her arms into the sleeves and tied the first couple of buttons
Walking out off the room she walked into the main area of there suit and brushed a hand threw her hair then brought her left hand down to eye level and stared at her wedding and engagement ring
"I can't believe this is real" she closed her eyes as they began to water and took a deep breath
"It is" Vincent's arms encircled her waist from behind as he pressed a kiss to her shoulder
She rose her right hand and encircled the back of his neck as her left hand rested on his that surrounded her waist
"Vincent I'm scared" she admitted in a whisper As she turned to face him
"I'm scared for heather and Ali, I'm scared for JT, Tess and the baby, I'm scared for us...for what the future holds for us"
She reached up and wrapped her arms around his neck as his remained around her waist
"Catherine...life is full of surprises some good, some bad but you cant Just sit around and wait for these moments to pass, you need to be in them, cherish them because once there gone you can never get them back"
He cupped her face and she leant into his palm kissing it lightly then looked up into his eyes
"And right now...we have to live in the moment" a cheeky grin covered his face as he bent down and hurled her over his shoulder, walking them back to the bedroom
A month passed since Catherine and Vincent's wedding and Catherine was currently in the hospital pacing up and down the hall outside heathers room cusing under her breath
About An hour ago she hand gotten a call that heather had collapsed and had been brought into hospital
She was just at the precinct with Tess talking to there boss joe when she got the call and rushed to the hospital asking Tess to pick up Ali from Vincent's parents
"How could this have happened?" She kept repeating throwing her hands up in the air
When she arrived at the hospital she called Vincent who was with JT and told him what had happened then ran to heathers room where the doctor delivered some bad news to the sisters telling them that heathers cancer had spread to all her major organs which were slowly shutting Down
Catherine stared into space as she heard a voice
"Aunty cat" Ali yelled as she ran toward her aunt and jumped up into her arms
"Baby what are you doing here?" Catherine kissed Ali's forehead and stroked the back of her head
Catherine's eyes travelled up to see Tess walking toward her
"Heather called and said she wanted to see Ali" Tess gave Catherine a sympathetic look as she lightly nod her head understanding why heather wanted to see her daughter
"Okay could you wait here, I'll be right back" cat held Ali close to her chest as she walked into the room
"Mommy" Ali called and heather looked up as they walked toward the bed
"Hey baby" heather reached out and took Ali into her arms
Catherine bit her bottom lip as she backed away from the bed and cleared her throat
"I'll leave you two alone" she threw heather a slight smile before leaving the room
She walked into the hallway crossing her arms as Tess wrapped an arm around her shoulders
"How are you feeling?" Tess asked as they walked into the canteen to see Vincent sitting with JT
"Good, I guess" they walked over and cat slipped in beside Vincent leaning into his side, he wrapped his arm around her shoulders and pressed his lips to her head
she leant her head on his shoulder and watched as Tess sat beside JT and went straight for his food causing Catherine to chuckled
"Hungry" cat teased and Tess threw her a death glare
She opened her mouth releasing a yawn and relaxed deeper into his side
"Baby your exhausted" Vincent wrapped his arm around her waist and held her closer
"Your gonna burn yourself out"
She turned her head to the side and looked up at him as it rested on his shoulder and pouted her lips causing him to chuckle and lower his head brushing there lips together
Tess took a sharp breath and quickly moved her hand to her bump
"Tess are you ok?" Catherine sat straight in the chair and looked at her friend with concern
"Yeah..." She rubbed her hand over her growing belly "just a cramp"
She leant over the table an held cats hand throwing her a reassuring smile
"Honestly cat, I'm fine"
She sat back in the chair and continued to rub her bump as heather and Ali walked into the canteen
Letting go of her moms hand Ali ran to Vincent and jumped into his lap
"Uhhh" Vincent let out a groan pretending to be hurt and she covered her small hand over her mouth "sorryyy" she whispered and stood up kissing his cheek
Vincent melted and kissed her head as she relaxed onto his lap reaching for the food on his plate, she grabbed a French fry and leant back against His chest, eating it
"Shes already got you wrapped around her little finger" Catherine whispered reaching for one herself and rose it to her lips with a smile
Vincent smiled knowing she was right and looked down at Ali as she let out a yawn and stretched closing her eyes
"Well it looks like someones up past there bedtime" Vincent looked at his watch, seeing it was a little after 7
He shifted her position in his arms so her head rested on his shoulder and his arm was under her bum holding her place they all got up from the table and cat hugged Tess
"Be careful" she whispered and Tess nod her head "alway"
Cat then pulled JT in for hug, then heather
"I love you sis" she wrapped her arms around her sister and held on tight "see you tomorrow" she rubbed her hand in a circular motion on heathers back and pulled away kissing her cheek
"Do you mind if I speak to Vincent for a minute?" Heather asked and Catherine nod her head taking Ali from his arms she left the canteen with Tess and JT following behind
Vincent looked at heather with a soft smile as she reached up and wrapped her arms around his neck "thank you" she whispered as she pulled away
"For what?" He asked and she smiled
"For everything, for being there for cat, me...Ali I couldn't have asked for a better father figure for my little girl" she took his hand in hers
"I can feel it Vincent...I don't have much time left but I-I need you to promise me something" she wiped away her tears and looked to the door her sister and daughter had just walked out minutes earlier
"Promise me you'll make them happy, I saw how our moms death affected her and I don't want that when I Go...please...promise me whenever my little girls crying you'll comfort her and tell her everything's gonna be ok...Vincent I need you to promise me they'll never be alone"
Tears ran down Vincent's face "I promise" he pulled heather into his arms and took a deep breath kissing the top of her head he pulled away
"Goodbye Vincent" she whispered then walked away as Vincent stood there with an ache in his heart he whispered
"Goodbye heather" then left.
