It had only felt like Sam had been asleep five minutes before she was awake again at the sound of moving around downstairs. Sighing to herself she glanced at the clock on the bedside table. 01:14am. Rubbing her eyes a little she then sat up a little, letting her eyes adjust to the darkness before she frowned hearing more moving around downstairs. It was way too noisy to be Steve. Glancing out of the bedroom window and noticing his truck wasn't there. Quietly getting up from the bed she went around to Steve's side and grabbed the spare gun he kept in there before she grabbed her phone and dialled Steve's number. As it went straight to voicemail she hung up and quickly text him before throwing her phone on the bed and slowly and cautiously heading downstairs, arming herself with the gun. Should she be doing this? No. Would Steve give her a lecture for doing this? Hell yes. Seeing the kitchen light on she frowned even more. She hadn't been downstairs since she got home so she knew she certainly didn't leave it on. And it wasn't dark enough when Steve left for work for him to even put it on. Hearing rummaging Sam took a deep breath as she headed into the kitchen. Seeing the fridge open, Sam frowned before she gave the door a hard kick so it knocked into the intruder before removing the safety guard off the gun as she looked towards them aiming the gun at them. "Who the hell are you and what the hell are you doing in my house?" She demanded before she then let her eyes widen slightly as the intruder slammed the fridge shut, aiming their own gun at Sam as she looked to the female who had been in her home.
"Your house?" Came the woman's voice as she looked Sam up and down glaring at her. "This is my boyfriend's house…and who the hell are you and what are you doing here?" The woman demanded as she looked Sam up and down again noticing her baby bump.
Sam looked to her completely gone off. "Uh yeah I asked you first…I'm upstairs sleeping and you come in here and wake me up…how did you even get in?"
"I have a key…" She told her. "Who are you? What are you doing here?"
"I live here!" Sam shouted looking to her. "I live here with my fiancé and have done so for nearly two years now…you must be in the wrong house. Now leave. Before I physically kick you out."
"I'm certainly not in the wrong house. My partner wouldn't leave this house. It's his family home." She laughed. "Besides it looks like you can just about tie your own shoe laces…never mind try and kick my ass."
"Well why don't you tell me who you are and who your boyfriend is then and I'll see if I can point you in the right direction because you're certainly not in the right place here." She looked to her. "Don't underestimate me."
The woman rolled her eyes and looked to her. "I'm Catherine and I'm here for Steve McGarrett…"
Sam felt sick. It was her. The Catherine Rollins. The one who broke Steve's heart more than once. Looking to her she frowned. "Well sorry to break it to you Catherine, but Steve's not your boyfriend…mainly cause I've been his girlfriend the last two years I'm marrying him in about two days…"
Catherine looked to her before scoffing. "Impossible. Steve knew I was coming back…I always come back."
Lowering her gun Sam looked to her and sighed as she gestured to her bump. "Well he moved on…me and Steve are going to be a family…"
Catherine frowned at her before lowering her own gun and shrugging. "He'll want me back when he sees I'm back…and for good this time. I've done what I've needed to do…I'm back now…me and Steve have an unbreakable bond. Together forever kind of couple. Everlasting love and all that." She told her with a shrug.
Under normal circumstances Sam would have probably kicked her ass, but right now, she was tired and very emotional. She was well aware of Catherine and Steve's history and she was worried. "Just get out." Sam whispered with a slight snap.
Catherine looked to her. "Tell Steve I'll be seeing him soon." She told her before she brushed past her and left.
Sam could feel the tears welling up in her eyes. Taking a breath she quickly wiped her eyes before the tears could even fall. Putting the safety cap back on the gun she headed back upstairs, popping the gun on the bedside table she then sat on the edge of the bed. She felt numb. She was under the impression Catherine wasn't coming back. She knew about their history. Rubbing her forehead she then jumped as she heard the front door slamming open.
"Sam!" Came Steve's voice as he came running upstairs. Going into the bedroom he went over to her and cupped her face. "Are you okay? Are you hurt?" He asked as he looked to her inspecting her for injuries.
"I'm fine." Came Sam's reply as she pushed him off her.
"Downstairs is clear…" Came Danny's voice as he appeared in the bedroom doorway. "What happened Sam?" He asked looking to her before he then looked to the gun and sighed rubbing his forehead a little. "Please tell me you have not shot anyone…"
Sam glared at her brother before she got up and shook her head. "I haven't shot anyone." She mumbled moving away from the pair and went over to the window and stared out of it. She felt very angry right now. Angry and hurt.
"Then what happened? You told Steve there was an intruder…did they take anything?"
"Well to me she was intruder. She thought she could come and go as she pleased. Claiming you're her boyfriend and you'll ditch me as soon as you know she's back."
Steve and Danny looked to each other and frowned not understanding what she meant before looking to Sam once more. "Who?" Steve asked as he looked to her.
"Your precious Catherine." Came Sam's reply as she felt the tears form in her eyes again but she just let them run down her cheeks.
Danny frowned. "Wait Catherine was here?"
"Of course she was here!" Snapped Sam through her tears as she grabbed a pillow and threw it at the pair of them. Anger fuelling her. "She came back to be with Steve! She's done what she needed to do and now she's back for good! Saying Steve's her boyfriend and he always knew she'd be back! Hell she has a key to this place! She might as well just jump into my place and me and the baby will go live on the streets!"
Sighing Steve made his way over to Sam and pulled her to him.
"No get off me." She blubbered pushing him away from her. "Don't touch me." She shook her head, her body shaking from how worked up she was. It had really gotten to her and she was really upset about what Catherine had said.
Shaking his head Steve pulled her to him again and moved his arms around her so she couldn't push him away and kissed her head. "Stop." He told her looking to her before looking to Danny.
"I'll be downstairs." He told him before he left the two alone.
"Stop." Steve told Sam feeling her trying to push him away again. "Listen to me." He whispered as he looked to her and cupped her face, wiping her tears away with his thumbs. "I am never leaving you." He told her firmly. "I do not care if Catherine is back. Good for her if she's done what she's needed to do. But it does not change one thing. I don't love her anymore. I love YOU. I want to marry YOU. I'm going to marry YOU. I'm starting a family with YOU. If I really wanted to wait for Catherine I would have. But I told her when she left that I wasn't going to wait for her. Whatever she said to you isn't true. Don't let her get to you. She broke my heart too many times. Why would I let her do it again when I have you? Someone who would never do that to me. I love you Sam and never ever forget that." He whispered as he kissed her head once more and held her close to him as he rubbed her back. "Now get into bed and I'll get you a hot drink." He told her looking to her.
Listening to him Sam just ended up crying even more. Nodding a little she wiped her eyes before she sat back on the bed and tried to compose herself. She needed to get a grip! Of course she knew deep down that Steve wouldn't leave her. But seeing Catherine. Seeing her face to face. She was beautiful.
Heading downstairs Steve ran his fingers through his hair and sighed.
"She okay?" Danny asked looking to him.
Steve nodded. "I think so." He mumbled as he headed into the kitchen and popped the kettle on before standing in the doorway to speak to Danny. "Can't believe she came here. Said those things to her." He mumbled shaking his head. "She's convinced I'd leave Sam for her…"
"Sounds like Catherine is a bit delusional…" Danny commented looking to him.
"She said she had a key. I thought she left that when she took off." He mumbled with a frown before he sighed shaking his head. "I need to find her. Last thing I need is for her to turn up on the wedding day saying she objects." He rolled his eyes before he went into the kitchen as the kettle went off. Making Sam a hot chocolate he headed back through the living room. "First thing in the morning I'm going to look for her. Can't leave Sam in this state."
Getting up Danny looked to him. "I'll come with you. Come and get me in the morning okay? I'll bring Grace over to come and stay with Sam."
"Okay, thanks Danny." He smiled to him before watching his friend go. Locking the door after him he sighed before he then headed upstairs back to Sam. Seeing her sat on the bed where he left her he sighed as he moved the hot chocolate on the side for her before he sat down next to her, moving his arm around her he kissed her head and he lent his head down on hers. "You calmed down?" He asked as he looked down to her.
Sam nodded a little. "I guess." She whispered. "I'm sorry."
"Don't be." Whispered Steve as he looked to her. "In the morning me and Danny are going to look for Catherine and we are going to be setting the record straight." He told her kissing her head. "Nothing is going to stop me marrying you."
Sam nodded a little, allowing her body to relax against Steve's she yawned a little before her eyes fell to a close. She was tired. She just wanted to curl up.
Looking down to her he kicked his shoes off before he then moved back on the bed and bought Sam back with him. Moving his arms around her he kissed her neck before he then moved the covers over them before he then held her close and let her sleep. His one hand resting on her bump he let a small yawn pass his own lips. They technically had two days before they were getting married. He wanted this to be a relaxing time for Sam. He couldn't risk her going into labour early!
Tomorrow he would go and find Catherine. A reunion he thought he'd never have again if he was honest! She left. He hadn't heard from her and now she had come back to the island? It was going to be very interesting to say the least!
