Catalano Adams…

Sawyer…

Catalano Sawyer…

It was going to take some getting used to but she really liked the sound if it.

The sixteen year old newlywed sat curled up on the recliner in her new husbands living room. She held a sketchbook in one hand and a charcoal chalk stick in the other held between her thumb and index finger.

Catalano listened to the sound of the rain as she relaxed in the silent of the night. She gathered her thoughts and she continued to run her hand across the front page of the sketch book.

Hours flew by like minuets.

Oblivious Catalano to the approaching morning Catalano yawned unbeknown that she was being watched. Keith walked up slowly behind his wife and wrapped his arms around her and lightly kissed the side of her neck.

"Am I going to have to get used go sleeping alone"? He asked with a smile.

"No I'm coming to bed" she answered.

"Its almost six I have to go to the hospital its my only day off this week" he told her.

"Its six"? She asked.

Catalano pulled the digital clock up and realized that he was he was serious.

"I can't believe I have been here since two… I am sorry… You spent your wedding night alone".

Catalano put her hands over her face but they was lowered by his.

"Its OK… I got all the good stuff" Keith teased her. "What was you doing anyways"?

"Drawing".

"May I"?

Catalano nodded.

Keith held the sketchbook in his hand and observed the drawing his wife had conjured with her hands. A dove sat on a tree branch asleep in the rain.

It was so realistic.

It was so beautiful.

"You've got talent has anyone ever told you that Catalano Sawyer"? He asked with a smile.

"I can't get enough of that" she said turning around in the recliner balancing on her knees wrapping her arms around his kneck.

"What's that"? He asked. "Being told you have talent"?

"No… Being your wife… Catalano Sawyer".

Keith picked her up and sat her down on the back of the recliner. He brought her lips to his and for the next hour and a half right there on the back of a lazy boy recliner showed her that he felt the same way.

With every kiss, every stroke, and every moan she felt more and more like his wife.

Mr. And Mrs. Private First Class Keith Sawyer…

God did she love the sound of it.

And he was loving the sounds she was making.

Breyton Renée Baker was sick of being sick. She was sick of being in pain. She was sick of hearing of all these medical issues she had that she didn't understand.

But, most of all she was sick of not being able to go check on her son. Or hold him. He was three months old and she had yet to even lay eyes on him.

Liam needed his mother.

His mother needed him.

"How are you feeling?" Cole asked as he walked in.

"How is Liam"? She asked.

"Why do you always answer a question with a question?" Cole asked.

"Why do you"?

Brooke couldn't help but giggle a little from the corner.

"Liam is the same. He had some problems breathing late last night so we hooked him to another machine and as it turns out your son is asthmatic" Cole told her. "You was healthy and didn't smoke it is just an effect of being born earlier but other than that he is fine".

"How will it be treated"?

Cole scratched his head and sat down on the edge of her bed.

Stubborn.

She was stubborn.

"Asthma can't be cured but it can be treated…tamed. Liam's doctor will be prescribing him a MDI albuterol inhaler and a nebulizer. The inhaler will come with a face mask and a spacer. Liam's doctor will you tell you all that you need to know… Now how are you? Breyton you did have surgery this morning".

"Like you said it was a minor surgery I feel fine".

"Any tenderness"?

"A little… No nausea or vomiting… I'm seeing fine. And a light headache… I know the drill".

Peyton and Lucas walked in before he had a chance to reply to her sarcasm.

"You told me to tell you when I was ready to fill out Liam's birth certificate" Breyton said.

"You know his full name now"?

She nodded.

"Liam… Not William… Liam because that's what his father wanted and his father was brave he saved his also brave uncle which is his middle name. Jude. Liam Jude Scott… LJ… His name is LJ".

Peyton wanted to cry.

She did.

But, instead she leaned down and hugged the mother of her grandson.

"You know LJ would hate that right"? Lucas asked with a smile. "He hated being called LJ but he didn't want to be called Lucas either".

"Yeah well I hated those Hawaiian shirts he always wore". Breyton said with a grin.

"Oh honey" Peyton said running her arm. "We all hated those shirts".

That… That was the truth.

Lydia flipped through the magazine in her hand as she sat in behind the bar of Haley's Café. The bell hanging above the door rang and yet she didn't look up.

She didn't plan to until she finished the article she was currently working on.

That was the plan.

The magazine was jerked out of her hand and she looked across the bar at her cousin who hovered o er her with a smile.

"So many paper cuts" she moaned.

"Aren't you on the clock?" Keith asked.

"Yes but its eleven a.m on a Tuesday and the school is on winter break so everyone is on vacation besides Earl apparently".

"Who the Sam hell is Earl"?

Lydia pointed to the only customer in the whole café and said "he comes in every Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday mornings. He stays until closing and all day he orders the same thing. A blueberry muffin and a cappuccino. Half nonfat milk, a quarter whole milk, and a quarter soy milk with a shot of vanilla syrup and two shots of Carmel".

Keith widened his eyes.

"Excuse me Miss" the older man in the corner said out loud gaining the attention of the two cousins.

"Yeah Earl" Lydia said back to him.

"Would you care to get me a blueberry muffin and a cappuccino. Half nonfat milk, a quarter whole milks, and a quarter soy milk with two shots of Carmel and a shot of vanilla".

"Coming right up".

Keith laughed to himself as Lydia took the already prepared order she had waiting on the heater to the man and cleared off the recent order from his table.

"I thought you'd be off with your new wife" Lydia teased Keith as she returned.

"Keep it down" Keith told her.

"From who… Earl the half senile walking cappuccino"?

"That's a good point" Keith said looking around. "Good thing too cause I need your advice".

"Everybody does".

Keith rolled his eyes and pulled out the pamphlet in his back pocket.

"Cat and I are going to exchange rings next Monday. It'll be Christmas and we will have been married for a week so I need your help".

"I hate to burst tour bubble but these are engagement rings" Lydia said flipping through the book.

"I want her to have a diamond too".

Lydia looked oddly at the sandy blonde across from her.

"I thought you forfeited an engagement ring when you wasn't engaged".

"We was engaged" Keith corrected her.

"Two hours doesn't count".

Keith knew from experience that arguing with Lydia would get you no where. It would however keep you from being where you need to be.

"I just want to get my wife a diamond. I want her to not just have this little tiny band but a ring. A real ring. A ring that she deserves".

That Lydia understood.

"You want to buy her a diamond I get that… But stay away from anything extravagant she will say she loves it but she won't. Catalano isn't really a jewelry kind of person. And even though you want to she would hate for you to spend a lot for a lot of reasons but because she can't. I know you don't care what yours looks like but she will when she sees you bought her this huge ring and she bought you a random band from Macy's".

Yep…

Keith came to the right place.

"Where is this store at"? Lydia asked as she contained to flip through the pages.

"Its right off base its got a lot of marine… Jewelry. I didn't want to get her a ring with that theme because that's who I am not who she is".

"That's exactly why you need to get her one like that. The ring is supposed to symbolize your love… You're a marine. She fell in love with you so every time she looks at that ring she will think of you".

Give her a math equation and she couldn't tell you what the answer was for a million dollars.

Love?

She'd pass the class with flying colors… or flying pom poms.

"I found it… She would love this one" Lydia said. "Listen. This USMC diamond ring is a fine jewelry design for that special someone. Handcrafted from solid sterling silver. Blah.. Blah.. The ring features twin interlacing bands one silver and one the other 18k cold. Blah.. Blah.. Blah… In the center of the ring is a sculpted Marine corps emblem of the eagle, globe, and anchored 18k gold plated accents. The bands embrace with two dazzling pave ribbons with a set of four genuine diamonds and engraved inside the band is Semper Fidelis".

Lydia laid the book down and tried to think…

"What does that mean? Semper Fidelis"? she asked.

"Always faithful… Always loyal its a motto in the marines that we use".

Lydia wasn't going to ask anymore before he thought about answering anymore.

She honestly didn't care and didn't really want him to think that she did.

"This is the perfect ring. Its a diamond ring without a diamond sitting on the top and you pick out either a gold or silver ring and it will go with it. Trust me and get this ring".

Keith took the pamphlet and took a look at the ring.

Lydia was right.

It was perfect.

Catalano had been waiting.

And waiting.

And waiting.

Finally after one too many hours of everyone having small chit chat with Breyton she was finally alone with her husbands best friend. She didn't hesitate one second before going and locking the door to the hospital room.

"What are you doing"? Breyton asked.

"I need your help. Keith and I talked and since we didn't exchange rings at our wedding we are going to do it on Christmas which will be our 'we have need married for a whole week' anniversary" Catalano said sitting next to her on the bed.

"A week" Breyton said. "Yes… A week. The hard part has to be over by then".

Breyton laughed at herself but wasn't joined by Catalano although she did throw in an eye roll.

"I have it narrowed down to six… You pick".

"USMC Smper Fi ring. 24k gold ion plated accents" Breyton said taking one of the pictures out of her hand and began reading. "USMC men's wedding band rig features a center band with marines egnraving along with the marines emblem of eagle, globe, and anchor. Fun fact… The center actually spins when you turn it and for the perfect touch then inside of the band is engraved with Semper Fi. Its a perfect ring for that special.. ma-ring in your life".

Breyton raised an eyebrow as Catalano giggled.

"Ma-ring" Breyton repeated. "Aside from that…,which they should be sued for, he will love that one".

"Thanks" Catalano told her.

"No thank you… You two made sure I was part of your wedding yesterday. I would've died if I hadn't got to see my best friend get married".

Catalano leaned over and lightly hugged Breyton.

18 HOURS AGO

Breyton's mouth almost hit the floor. In fact for a few minuets she was sure it had. Keith however sat waiting for a response. After so long he was thought that she had slipped back into a coma except that her eyes was still open and she was shaking her head.

Possibly trying to wrap her head around the news.

"What do you mean… You're engaged"? Breyton finally talked.

It was a question.

Logical too.

"I have been seeing someone for about two and a half months".

"And you think that is enough time to get married to this person"? Breyton asked.

Harsh.

But again… Logical.

"I know it seems fast" Keith started.

"It doesn't seem fast Keith it is fast… Super fast".

"Being judgemental is not your most attractive quality" Keith spat at Breyton standing up. "You have been in and out of a coma for three months you don't know what I've been through. I met someone. Who I love and yes its fast… To the rest of the world but not us and out of everyone who I thought would understand I would assume it would be my best friend… The teenage mother".

Ouch.

"I wasnt trying to be judgmental its just I don't want you to get hurt… So when do I get to meet this mystery man"?

Keith laughed nervously.

"Add a wo to the start of that man and you kinda already know her and you adore her and remember that you love me".

"Who"?

"Catalano Adams… Remember judgment".

Breyton swallowed her negative comments and asked nicely "when do you plan to get married"?

When she asked she didn't assume twenty minuets later that she would be sitting in a hospitsl room with a blonde, a marine, a Reverend, and an Italian.

It was like that start of a bad joke.

"I've loved and I've lost" Keith began. "I've lost people that I love and to everyone else this may be fast and reckless but I don't care. I don't want to waist a second. I've learned that you don't know what tomorrow holds but I know that there is no tomorrow without you by my side. I vow to love you. I vow to respect you. I vow to cherish you and I vow to always kiss you goodnight".

Catalano smiled at him and ran her fingers through his hair.

"When I was a little girl my mom always told me that one day I'd meet prince charming.. She just failed to mention that he would be wearing camo and carry a gun" Catalano said earning a giggle from the Lydia and Breyton who sat on the hospital bed together taking pictures. "I am young in age but everyone knows I have such an old soul. I have never been more sure of anything in my life until the moment that you kissed me. I'm not sure of anything else except you. I vow to love you. I voe to respect you. I vow to cherish you and I vow to always kiss you goodnight".

Mr. And Mrs Private First Class Keith Sawyer made their vows and exchanged their love and was man and wife.

Keith pressed his lips against hers before whispering against her ear "I view to always kiss you goodnight".

I hope everyone liked that. It was solely about them but it did have bits and pieces about Liam and Breyton and baby "LJ".

I do really acknowledge that he is in the marines! Its just so familiar to me…

The next chapter will have more.

It will have some sweet Chia moments. The ring exchange between Keith and Cat. Jude wakes up to a big surprise (not very vague huh)? Lydia tells Catalano a big secret and she takes it surprisingly well. Jenny and Jamie have a heated discussion involving Gracie and Sawyer and Logan put their differences aside (at first) to figt for Mercy before the two come to blows over the custody of their daughter.

Now again I am starting my new stories soon so any requests now while I can still work them in please do!

And of course

REVIEW!

Until next time my lovelies!

Oh and before I forget to Ash... I think you misunderstood. No Jamie and Sawyer aren't raising their child togethertogether yes they are first cousins. They each have a child the will be raising. Not an insest story!
