A/N: Sorry for the long wait guys! I hope you like it, btw I know their fight last chapter was pretty weak but I suck at confrontation so that's probably why lol.

Disclaimer: I do not own these characters, I'm just borrowing them!

"Well….."

Cat thought about James' offer for lunch it would be a really good way to figure out what was going on, but after the way he tried to tackle the other night she wasn't sure if she could trust him.

"No, I think it's best if you leave me alone from now on- unless it's about the case."

James reached over and brushed her shoulder, Catherine moved back.

"Please Cat, I don't want you to pull away from me. Don't let Vincent get between us!"

'Vincent get between them? James must be cracking. What the hell did that mean?' Catherine thought.

"What are you talking about? There is no US."

"No of course not, I meant our friendship." James tried to correct himself but the pressure was getting to him.

"I think you did that all on your own!" Cat snapped and walked off, He let her go for now but James wouldn't be giving up any time soon though.

Vincent had gone back to the apartment after work, he debated whether he should, but he decided if Cat was there then he would get his chance to talk to her. Much to Vincent's dismay she wasn't there.

He had been pottering around for a few hours; he was currently rearranging their bookshelf just to pass time, he was half way through when he heard the front door go- he turned and stood up.

Catherine stood in the door way, she had tear stained cheeks, she moved closer to him when he didn't respond to her movement she walked to him briskly and wrapped her arms around him.

He stood rigid for a few moments, eventually he wrapped his arms around her to.

"I'm so sorry Vincent, please forgive me?! I need you, I love you so much!" She sobbed into him.

He was about to reply but he felt her hold on him start to weaken, that's when he felt the warm wet patch on his shirt, he pulled back and looked at her. Vincent noticed her hair was matted to the side of her face, when he brushed it back he saw the blood trickling down.

"Catherine baby what happened?!" He was still angry with her but the name 'baby' had just slipped out after all he'd been in love with her for 6 years!

"I was attacked outside of work, but I'm fine."

"You are not fine, here let me stitch it."

Vincent walked to the bathroom to get the first aid kit, he cleaned and stitched her up, she was looking pale- he lifted her up and carried her to their bed.

"Good night Catherine." Vincent said as he pulled the covers up over her, he headed to the door where he would sleep on the sofa for the night.

"Vincent?" Cat whispered drearily.

He stopped and turned around his hand on the door handle.

"Please stay with me, I know you're mad, but please?" She begged.

He sighed debating on what to do although he knew he couldn't leave her when she pleaded like that.

"Okay, but tomorrow we need to talk."

Catherine nodded in response; Vincent walked to his side and then slid in, Catherine turned over to face him she scooted closer and slithered her arms around him. As Catherine wrapped her arms around him she began to relax, he was tense and she couldn't blame him- she'd accused him of something awful. Vincent wasn't sure how to react he loved Cat of course but they hadn't talked about the events of yesterday, she was right, he was mad but when he felt her tears slide down his neck he wanted to do nothing but love her.

He kissed the top of her head and she squeezed him tighter.

"I'm so sorry Vincent, I love you! I promise I'll make it up to you -I can explain about the kiss."

"Shhh I know, I love you too! We'll talk in the morning just rest your head!"

Catherine kissed the crook of his neck and clung to him, after half an hour he felt her grip loosen as she fell into a fitful sleep. Vincent gradually drifted off holding her tightly to him.

Vincent and Catherine woke up at the same time; they looked at each other in awkwardness. Who would be the first one to start?

"I'm sorry!" Cat started off. "I never meant to come in and yell at you, I was just going too calmly ask you how James might know those things. I know deep down in my heart Vincent you'd never do that to me, just when you asked about James like I had down something wrong I snapped! I know I had no right and I want you to know I NEVER kissed him, it was completely one sided and I made sure his tongue was out of use for a while."

Vincent grimaced "What do you mean?"

"Well, he forced his tongue in and I bit down hard enough to draw blood!"

Vincent smiled 'That's my girl!' he thought and for all intense and purposes she still was and would always will be!

"And as to what you said about me not being ready to get engaged- yes I was and am Vincent I love you so much and I can't wait to be your wife, if you still want to marry me?" She asked nervously.

"Of course I do Catherine, my life isn't anything without you, I don't think I need to tell you now but- I never ever slept with anyone else and wouldn't ever! I seriously have no idea how James knew about the baby if you didn't tell him which I'm sure now you didn't, and I'm very sorry too for even thinking you would of. If anything I think James has a vendetta and you should stay as far away as possible, I don't like the sound of him."

Catherine nodded.

"Now what the hell happened to your head last night?"

Cat touched her stitches "Oh, Some guy tried to steal my bag last night; James was there and stopped him."

"James again, does this guy just have bad omens around him or something?!"

"I don't want to talk about him anymore! Can we just forget he even exists?" Cat asked.

"Gladly!" Vincent smiled he leaned over and gave Catherine a searing kiss, now came his favourite part of a fight- make up sex!

On the other side of town James was stewing in his apartment as he watched Vincent peel Catherine's clothes off.

When he 'saved' her from the attack he had set up she was supposed to be grateful and fall into his arms!

It was time for plan B if she wouldn't come to him willingly then he'd give her no choice!

A/N: I know this was a little short but I just wanted to get something out for your patience! If you spotted any mistakes don't be afraid to point them out. As always please review and I hope you enjoyed :D x
