ChocoMintandRock, ImNotThomas, Teggy (Well, you see, people usually only spend time in mental hospitals for about a week or two, maybe 3 at the most. So for Jade to get pregnant and then be in labor by the time Cat gets out would be just too long. I've spent time in a Mental Hospital and it is NOT fun…oh god, I hated that place. Lol. Good suggestion though.), MariaLuvsYew, Sshaw101, Ec4Lewis, Jeremy Shane, NeonLovesYou, CourtsxBatFan, Jadiee, and JessyRae: Thanks for the reviews guys :) We're almost to 900 reviews! Yay! :) I'm so excited! Good thing too because today I've been extremely depressed about this whole pregnancy thing…I hate being so big…and I'm not even out of my regular clothes yet! :'( …yup, I'm going insane.

Cat sighed as a nurse at the mental hospital walked her through the corridors. They were constantly locked so they had to keep stopping at every heavy door to push in the password and then go through another door only to see another locked door. It was quite long and annoying, but Cat kept to herself. She's been trapped in this hospital for a week and the doctors said she passed treatment. They've done their job. They did what they could do to help. Now the rest was up to Cat and Beck.
Cat wasn't letting this eating disorder control her this time.
Never again.
She walked outside as she saw Beck and Anthony waiting for her on the benches.
The breeze…
The sunshine…
The fresh air…
The green grass…
The blue sky…
Cat took in the freedom she felt.
Within those walls, she wasn't allowed to go outside. They had a yard to take the patients in, but they never took them out. There was no reason for it…the nurses were lazy. Cat missed the outside.
Beck looked up and saw his fiancée with his smiling son in his arms. "Cat!" He called out with happiness. When he received the call an hour ago that Cat was going to be released because she done so well, he was the happiest man on earth. His son barely slept all week, somehow knowing his mom wasn't home, and he couldn't sleep either…he'd heard the stories about what happens to women in those hospitals…but every night when he visited her, she'd seem a bit healthier and better…no sign of distress.
Jade's threat helped Cat out a lot.
Cat ran over and Beck took her into his free arm, able to hold her up with ease. She giggled into the crook of his neck. Her hair was a mess in a bun…he made a mental note to call Cat's hair stylist when they get home. He heard a sound that he hadn't heard since Cat had been admitted to the hospital…Anthony giggling.
"Hi, my son." Cat whispered as she gently took the baby out of Beck's arms into hers. The child leaned into his mother's hold, showing the truth about bonds between a mother and her son. "How are you?" She cooed as Beck took Cat's bag out of the nurse's hands and thanked her. The nurse went back inside and Beck kissed Cat's head. Cat leaned onto his chest. "I missed you so much, Beck. Please don't make me be separated from you like that ever again."
"I completely agree, Cat." Beck led her to the car. "So you ready for a surprise?"
"Totally." Cat said as she opened the backdoor and put her baby boy in the car seat.
"If you are feeling up to the wedding still in two weeks, we have done almost everything on your checklist." Beck told her, hoping she was up for it. He just wanted to call her his wife already.
Cat gasped as she shut the door and Beck opened her passenger door. "Really? Oh, Beck, do you mean that? You've done almost everything? How?"
Beck chuckled and pecked her lips. "Yes, I'm being honest. The only thing not done is you going into fitting for your wedding dress and…no, that's it." He smiled as Cat almost had tears. "So what do you say? You still want to get married?"
Cat buried her face into his shirt. "I love you so much. Yes, I definitely still want to get married."
"Great." Beck helped her into the car and then went to his side, getting in. "Well, Mrs. Almost Oliver, would you like to go home?"
Cat sighed. "Yes, I would LOVE to go home and shower."
…
A day later, Beck had just dropped Cat off at the hair salon and was now walking around the mall. He was craving a Starbucks, so he thought to get himself and Cat one. Anthony was asleep in the stroller, so he had some time to kill. He walked to the food court and saw Tori at the register. "Hey, Tor."
Tori looked up and glared at him. "You need to talk to Robbie."
Beck raised an eyebrow. "Why? Oh and I'll have a Grande Carmel Frap and a Grande Hot Chocolate."
Tori rung the drinks up and then sighed. "That'll be 7.32. Beck, Robbie and I have been secretly dating for a couple weeks now."
Beck nodded. "Congrats." He said as he handed her his credit card.
"No, it's not great." Tori growled, snatching his card from his hand and then swiping it. "It sucks because he's a virgin and he won't sleep with me. Do you want a receipt?"
"Um, no thanks to the receipt and…gross." Beck sighed as he put his card back in his wallet. "I'd rather not think about Robbie doing it."
"It's called Sex, Beck." Tori said bluntly, making his drinks. "You have a kid, you've done sex before, you can get some balls and call it that."
"This conversation is making me extremely uncomfortable." Beck sighed as he took Cat's hot chocolate from her. "I'm not talking to Robbie about that. Too weird. Awkward. Random."
"I get it, Beck." Tori rolled her eyes. "So anyways, how's Cat doing today?"
"Better." Beck nodded. "She and Anthony napped most of yesterday, and she took about 3 showers. Her hair was too tangled to the point of no return, so I made her an appointment at the salon here. She's over there right now getting her hair taken care of. I hope they don't have to cut it off."
"Oh me neither!" Tori said, handing Beck his other drink. "Not two weeks before the wedding! I'll be so upset! If Cat has to cut her hair, then I'll cut mine too!"
"I think we're getting off track here." Beck sighed. "Anyways, I better go. I'm going to give Cat her drink and see how everything's going with her."
"Give her a hug for me." Tori smiled and then Beck walked away, trying to erase the ridiculous conversation he had with Tori.
He walked into the salon, greeted with flirtatious looks from all the women. He chuckled as he parked Anthony by the couches and then walked over to Cat with the Starbucks. He gasped. "Cat!"
Cat had the cover taken off her and she fluffed with her hair a little as she shyly smiled. "Hey…still love me?"
He sighed. "Always."
She had to cut her hair…a lot.
Her hair was to her shoulders now instead of down her back.
He brought her into his arms, kissing her head. "I love you, always."
Cat leaned back and shrugged. "I donated my hair though."
"Good girl." Beck kissed her lips. "You're so beautiful."
"Promise?"
"I promise." Beck held her tightly. "With all my heart, I promise."
Random Fact about DA: I have a shopping problem…not as bad as those you see on TV, thank goodness. But it's still bad. I need nice things, I need my son to have nice things, and all that jazz. I still do my volunteering and give money to the Chihuahua Rescue, but shopping is VERY important to my life. Sad, but true.
