A/N: Sorry, it's been soooo long since I last updated this story. To be honest, I have been busy, but I just got really bored of this story and didn't know how to end it. But, here's the last chapter for you. It's got the tiniest bit of angst in it, but it's mainly just smut. Thank you to everyone's who's reviewed, and I hope this ending is good enough for you. Once again, I apologise for how long it took for me to update.

Chapter 19 – Sara's POV

She looks more beautiful than ever when she's sleeping.

I kiss her shoulder lightly, not wanting to wake her up.

Although she's been insisting she's fine since she left the hospital, she hasn't been sleeping so well these days.

She won't talk about what happened with Green, and I don't want to push her.

She'll talk about it when she's ready, whether it's to me, or someone else close to her.

All I want to do know is lie here holding her, revelling in the knowledge she's safe with me.

It's been a month since Green took Lindsey and Catherine, and there hasn't been a day where the three of us haven't been together.

I can't remember if I ever spent so much time with someone I'm dating.

With Catherine, it feels different.

It's…dare I say it…love.

I haven't told her I love her yet, I'm too scared.

I want to, I just…can't.

I know she cares about me, but she's been through so much in such a short space of time, and I really don't want to make things more difficult for her.

At least Lindsey likes me.

She figured it out the day at the hospital just from the way me and Catherine were looking at each other.

Lindsey is the only person knows about me and Catherine yet.

We will tell everyone eventually, but right now we're just taking each day as it comes.

Suddenly Catherine begins thrashing around, whimpering in her sleep.

Another nightmare.

I just hold her tighter, until she settles down again.

These nightmares are becoming a regular occurrence, and every time she has one, it breaks my heart.

"Sorry."

Her voice is muffled into the pillow. I didn't realise she'd woken up.

I sit up slightly so I can kiss the top of her head.

"For what?"
"Waking you up. I didn't mean to."
"Baby, you were having a nightmare, I know you didn't mean to. Besides, I was already awake."
"Ok."

She rolls over so she's facing me and leans in to kiss me.

Her lips are soft and her hands insistent, she's soon trying to pull my pyjama top off.

We haven't had sex at all, other than that first and only time.

We both agreed it should happen when we're both completely ready.

And I'm sure as hell not going to break that rule when she's so emotionally fragile, even though she won't admit she it.

I grab her hands.

"Cath, we talked about this, remember?"
"I'm ready now."
"Catherine…."
She relaxes into me and I snuggle up to her.
"Sorry. I got carried away. I just…needed to feel closer to you I guess."
"I want to as well you know, I just don't feel now is the right time."
She nods and I'm glad she isn't hurt.

Silence reigns for a while, although I know there's something she wants to say.

"Sar…"
"Yeah?"
"I sometimes forget he's dead."

It doesn't take a genius to figure out who she's talking about, but I state the obvious anyway.

"Green?"
She nods again, then sniffs.
She's close to tears, but I don't say anything.
It's her time to talk right now.
"I dream I'm back in the cabin with him, only Lindsey's there too, and he's…"

She curls up into the foetal position and begins to sob.
I wrap my arms round her and rock her back and forward gently.
I'm going to put my heart on the line now, and I just hope to Christ that this isn't too soon.

"He's gone baby, he can't hurt you anymore, not physically. I'm not going to let anyone hurt either Lindsey or you, because…because I love you both too much."

There, I've said it now, too late to go back.
She sits up and looks at me, and her eyes are still filled with tears.

"You love me?"
"More than anyone or anything else in the universe."

She looks away for a second, and I begin to feel insecure, until her eyes meet mine again. She smiling, and my heart lifts.
"I love you too. I love you so much it hurts."
She wraps her arms round my neck and our lips connect.

I lean back so she's on top of me, and suck her bottom lip impatiently, wanting to deepen the kiss.

She moans and I almost completely forget what I'm doing.

My hands move to her hips and it's takes every bit of self control I possess to stop myself from taking off her shorts.

I want this now, now I know it isn't just sex, but about feelings.

But I can't, because she might not be ready.

I pull away slightly.

"That time I almost got carried away."
Her smile is seductive and she sits up so she's straddling me.
"Well…we don't have to get up, so get as carried away as you want."
My eyes are glued to her as she slowly pulls her shirt over her head before turning her attention to removing my shirt. Once it's disposed of, her hands move to the clasp of my bra. I still her movements for a moment.
"Cath…are you sure?"
She undoes my bra, pulls it off, then kisses me softly.
"More than anything, Sar."

She removes her bra and I'm momentarily distracted by the sight of her perfect breasts, but I'm impatient to feel her skin against mine again, so I pull her back on top of me.

Her lips immediately find mine and I'm in ecstasy.

It doesn't take long for us to shed the rest of her clothes, and I switch our positions, determined to make her feel as good as I possibly can.

I start by kissing her mouth, then kissing all way down to her inner thighs.

Her skin is burning, and she can barely keep her eyes open.

I kiss her stomach and her hips buck, but I still want to enjoy her whole body.

I kiss my way back to her mouth and capture her lips, feeling liquid desire run through me as her hands tangle in my hair, keeping me here so I can't tease her anymore. I keep kissing her, but I trace my fingers along her thigh, and her hips buck again. One of her hands finds mine and guides it to where she needs me most.

I smile against her lips, preparing to tease her more as I sit up slightly, but then she moans.
"Please…Sara…just please…"

And at that point, if she'd just asked me to travel to the other side of the world, I would have.

Catherine's POV

I can't remember when I felt so good.

I'm glad we took tonight off, because I have no intention of ever leaving this bed.

For hours we've explored each other, showing each other exactly how we feel.

I rest my head on her shoulder, every muscle in my body aching pleasurably, and smile as Sara drops a kiss on my forehead.

"Can we just stay here forever?"
I laugh.
"I was just thinking the same thing."

She makes me feel so safe, and she knows exactly how to comfort me.

When she told me she loved me, nothing seemed to matter but that, all thoughts of Green were forgotten at that moment.

She's just fucking incredible at every thing she does.

I want her, forever.

We're standing outside the breakroom door, and I can hear the rest of the team inside.

I'm nervous, and I squeeze Sara's hand, wanting reassurance.

Her smile is all I need, and I'm just about to push the door open when she pulls me back.

I give her a questioning look, and she smiles again.

"This just seems so surreal, you know what I mean?"
I giggle.
"Yeah, completely."
"One minute, we're barely friends, and the next, we're announcing to our colleagues not only are we dating, I'm moving in with you..."
"So is it a good or bad kind of surreal?"

Her smile seems to light up the whole corridor.
"Definitely good. It shows that sometimes, dreaming isn't so pointless after all."
She's so cute. Well, here we go.
I take a deep breath, and catch her eye again.
"You ready?"
She kisses me quickly.
"Of course I'm ready, I'm with you."

With that, we push open the breakroom door, ready for anything.

Hope the ending wasn't too much of a let down. Now, you all must know by now just how much I love feedback…
