Chapter Thirty-Six
Pure Red Roses
This is what a Sunday morning should be like, well in Beck's point of view. He was sitting at the kitchen table after eating breakfast with his fiancée, reading the newspaper, and enjoying a fresh, hot cup of coffee. The house was silent, except for the vague sound of the shower running from their bedroom. He moved in a few weeks back and everyone wondered what took them so long to do so. Robbie moved in with Andre, as planned if anything were to happen. Unlike Jade and Tori, the boys were getting along well.
CRASH
"EEP!"
Beck almost dropped the cup of coffee as he left the table and raced into the bedroom, and towards the bathroom. He prayed his fiancée was alright, since she was 4 months pregnant with his child, so she was quite fragile. He opened the door and saw her sitting naked on the floor of the large shower, holding her stomach as the water was hitting her body. Around her was the soup holder in the shower that once held the shampoos and conditions, soups and body washes and they were scattered around her.
He didn't care that he was getting wet as he picked her up into his arms and sat her on the closed toilet, letting her catch her breath as he wrapped a towel around her petite body. "Are you done washing?" He asked her in a whisper, still letting his heart rate carefully go back to normal. She nodded, so he turned the shower off. He kneeled down in front of her and saw her curl up into the large towel. "What happened, baby?"
"The bar of soap fell when I didn't notice it and I slipped, but I grabbed the soap holder on accident to help keep myself balanced and that fell on top of me." She mumbled out shyly. "Sorry, Beck."
Beck shook his head. "Don't be sorry. It's okay. The baby wasn't hurt?"
"No." She sighed deeply. "I wish I wasn't pregnant. I'm never careful and I'm so clumsy. At this rate, I'll lose the baby."
"No, you won't." Beck gave her a smile. "You're going to be a fantastic mother, Cat. You deserve this child more than anyone on the planet."
"Really?"
"Yes, I'm totally serious."
Cat suddenly smiled brightly. "Yay!"
Beck chuckled. "Let's go get you dressed, babe."

WHAT'S NEW ON TheSLAP?
Beck Oliver: Hmmm…audition for a movie in a few hours. I can't believe I'm admitting this, but I'm quite nervous. Mood: Nervous
Cat Valentine: Aw, my future husband has an audition for a new movie! How exciting is that? He's so wonderful, so he's definitely going to get the part! Mood: Pregnant :)
Jade West: So hungover…ugh…stupid Cat, why'd you have to go and get pregnant? I miss partying with you! Mood: Irritated
Tori Vega: Tired of listening to my roommate puking her guts out in the bathroom, which is right next to my bedroom. Gross. Mood: Disgusted
Andre Harris: Aw, man. My little cousin is here because I have to babysit her. So annoying. Little brat. Mood: Annoyed
Robbie Shapiro: Andre's brat of a cousin just drew kiddie pictures ALL OVER my room! WITH Permanent markers! WHY? Mood: Pissed
…
Cat blinked as she was still paying attention to her laptop in front of her. "Beck."
"Yes, dear?" Beck said from the couch across from her, reading his newspaper still.
"None of our friends are having good days today." Cat mumbled. "Why are we the only ones having good Sundays?"
Beck snorted. "You call this a good day?"
Cat gasped. "What's that supposed to mean?" Her eyes began tearing up.
Beck realized his words and put the newspaper down, rushing to her side on the other couch. "No, no, I didn't mean it like that." He said gently as he wrapped his arms around her. "I'm having such a nice quiet, relaxing time with you right this second, I swear. I just mean that I'm nervous for my audition so I'm feeling kind of sick."
Cat's frown turned upside down and she leaned into her fiancée. "Oh, Beck, don't be nervous." She told him softly. "Just remember that your son or daughter and I are cheering you on. We may not physically be there with you, but we're in your heart and mind. Always. Please don't forget that when you're in front of those directors. Just think it's me instead of them. You do the scene perfect in front of me. Just think it's like last night…I was in bed and you were performing the scene over and over so I could judge you. You did so good." She kissed his head. "I love you so much."
Beck gave her neck a soft kiss before leaning his head on her shoulder, still holding her close to him. "Cat, how did I ever deserve you?" He put a gentle hand on her pregnant stomach. "Both of you."
Cat kissed his cheek and then looked at the clock on the wall. "Sweetie, it's almost noon. You should probably freshen up and head out. I'll make you a sandwich to take with you."
"Thanks, baby." Beck did as he was told as Cat went to go into the kitchen. Soon Beck came back out and took the sandwich Cat had waiting for him. "I love you girl. Be careful."
"You too." Cat kissed his lips before walking him to the front door. "Call me afterwards!" She called out.
"Yes, ma'am!" Beck grinned as he unlocked his car.
Cat giggled and shut the door. She suddenly yawned. "Ooh, I'm sleepy." She put her hands on her pregnant tummy. "You tire mommy out, darling." She walked back to her bedroom and decided to just rest a little. She changed into pajama pants and a tank top before getting into bed carefully and tucked herself in. She shut her eyes and was sleeping before she knew it.

Ding, dong
Ding, dong
Ding, dong
Cat moaned cutely as she fluttered her eyes open, adjusting to the light that was coming through the curtains of the bedroom.
Ding, dong
She whimpered as she stood from the bed and made sure she looked decent before heading to the front door. She walked over and opened it, still rubbing her eyes like a child would. She gasped when she saw a large bouquet of flowers in front of her. She backed up a bit. "Uh…"
"Delivery for Valentine." A gruff voice called out from behind all the pure red roses in front of him.
Cat blinked. "That's me."
"Well, here." Cat took them out of his hand, but had to put them down after because they were heavy. Beck could move them later. "Sign this." The overweight man practically shoved a clipboard into her hands with a pen. Cat frowned at his rudeness, but signed and handed it back. He grunted at her before walking off her porch and towards his flower delivery car.
Cat huffed. "Meanie." She closed the front door and leaned down as much as she could without hurting her pregnant stomach and grabbed the tiny card. She stood back up and read it carefully.
For the most perfect, beautiful redhead on the whole planet.
No one else in this world could ever compare to you, Miss Caterina Valentine.
You don't know me, but I sure know you.
I love you dearly.
I hope enjoy the flowers…
I'll be showering you with more, believe me.
Anything and everything for an angel.
Cat's jaw was dropped.
Who the-
Suddenly the front door opened, making Cat squeak and jumped away from the flowers and drop the card. Beck looked surprised as he walked in and closed the door behind him. "Cat, why are you right next to the door?" He looked down. "Why is there a huge vase of roses on the floor? Who are they from?"
Cat shrugged. "I don't know. The card didn't have a name on it."
Beck picked up the card and read it thoroughly. He narrowed his eyes. "Who the hell…"
"Forget about that for now, Beck." Cat took the card and put it back in the roses. "This is your day. How'd the audition go? You didn't call me."
"Sorry, baby, but I didn't want to wake you up, since I wasn't sure if you were napping or not." Beck kissed her head and then leaned back, grinning. "It was a close shot, but I didn't get it. But I'm realizing that time will only tell. They still have auditions set up for me as time goes on. Until then…I may have to get a job." Beck chuckled.
Cat gave him a sad smile. "Oh, Beck, I'm sorry you didn't get the role, but think of it this way: no matter what happens, you'll always have me and the baby."
Beck almost had tears. "Cat, I'd never make it anywhere without you." He said, taking in the scent of her shampoo. "I love you so much."
"I love you more." She giggled as he finally put her down. "Beck, this is still so amazing! You have a casting agent who is set on helping you for free!"
"Yup." Beck grinned. "I'm pretty excited. Now we'll focus on you."
"Right now, my only dream is making sure this baby will be healthy when it comes." She put her hands on her stomach. "Of course…after I give birth to him or her…you might be the one to take over the rest without me, huh?" Cat looked up at his now frowning face. "You can handle it though. You're Beck Oliver. You can handle anything that comes your way. You make me so proud and fill me with so much pride to have you. I hope our child will turn out to be like you."
Beck kept his tears in. His heart cracked again as he was reminded the reality of the dangerous situation for Cat's pregnancy, but he tried to keep those feelings low for now. He didn't want to ruin this moment. Cat was proud of him, as she just told him…those words meant the world to him. He brought her back into his arms. "Together, we can handle anything. It's us against the world, my love. I'll follow you to the ends of the world."
"Ditto." Cat leaned up and pecked his lips. "What time is it?"
Beck looked at his watch and his eyes widened. "Wow, it's almost 5 already."
Cat smiled. "Let me go make dinner! Just sit down, relax, or watch TV because you deserve it!"
Beck leaned down and kissed her lips once more before releasing her. "Yes, ma'am." As Cat skipped into the kitchen, carefully as she did so, Beck couldn't help, but look over to the vase of roses…who were they from? The note looked absolutely nerve-wrecking…almost in a stalker kind of way. He actually was praying it was Robbie being weird again because he couldn't take the thought of some pervert watching Cat 24/7 when they weren't aware of it. At least if it was Robbie, Beck could break his nose and he'd leave them alone.
If it was a stranger…how was Beck able to protect Cat?
He peeked into the kitchen and saw Cat with Reeses, who was dancing in the kitchen with her as she hummed to some random tune. She was cutting up some veggies for dinner, while also giggling at Reeses' antics. He gently smiled at the scene. It was even cuter since Cat had her 4 month baby bump and she was absolutely glowing. The thought of someone watching her every move was frightening.
Beck suddenly looked around where he stood.
Were there hidden cameras in the house?
Was someone using one of those x-ray telescopes on the house?
Were there recorders in places they never looked?
Beck let it go for now and sat down on the couch, still keeping Cat within view.
Her innocence was shining through and he vowed to protect her from all evil and life-threatening situations. He had been doing good so far since she was kidnapped, but right now, this was putting him on the edge. It didn't matter though. No one was going to lay a finger on his fiancée with the intent to hurt her. No one or else he'll kill them.
