A/N: Okay, so I know I've sucked terribly. I wish I had some amazing excuse the fact is I just haven't had motivation.. Sorry.. This will be the last chapter but I will post an epilogue soon :)

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

While at J.T's, J.T had managed to calm Vincent down and re-assess the situation. All Vincent had to do was wait one more day and then the police would start their search.

Vincent was becoming restless with each passing hour though he couldn't eat or sleep, he paced furiously around J.T's apartment until the police would finally look into it.

He was asked a series of questions- Was Catherine depressed? Were they having problem? Has she done this before? Blah Blah Blahhhh!

It didn't matter what problems they had Vincent new shed never leave him that way let alone leave all her things behind. The police had finally done asking a multitude of questions and started a case for finding Cat.

Catherine woke up with a groan, nausea rolled through her like a tidal wave; she tilted her head to the side and looked at her captor.

She wasn't sure how long she'd been here but it must have been nearing a week or two. James had stopped drugging her mostly because there was no need her body was so weak she couldn't go a day without feeling sick and weak. James would sleep by her side every night, it made her skin crawl especially when he'd roam his hands over her body, he hadn't done anything like he had the first night but he was getting desperate and she knew it wouldn't be long until he did- this time he probably wouldn't stop.

A blaring screech went through the room – a phone, James had his phone in here. Catherine tried to reach over for it but he grabbed her hand squeezing painfully.

"Don't!" He spat.

Cat tried to listen in…

"I know, I know! Well I'll move her… SOON!" James grated out loudly, he was getting antsy that couldn't mean anything good for Cat.

James slammed the phone down "Dammit!" He turned to Catherine with rage in his eyes. "Your dammed Vincent couldn't leave well enough alone could he?! Thanks to him the police are sniffing around. Call him!"

"W-what?" Cat chocked out not sure if she heard him right.

"Call him! You tell him you've left him for me, to call of the police search- that you never want to see him again. Understand?!"

"I won't do it!" Catherine willed herself to sound strong.

James stalked over to her and slapped her straight across her face; he yanked her head up by her hair. "You will or there is more where that came from! I've given you long enough Catherine either you're with me or you die!" He screamed in her face.

"Then I die!" She spat in his face.

Vincent sat in a haze on the sofa he had been living at Tess' and J.T's, he couldn't bear to live in a house full of Cat's things and not be around her.

J.T stood and watched his friend and fiancée wither and worry about Cat, Tess had taken on so much stress that she had been ordered on bed rest as the baby couldn't cope with her high blood pressure. A news report had flashed across the screen Cat's kidnapper was in a hot pursuit, they watched as he zipped in out of cars causing havoc around the city.

The phone started going crazy and Vincent answered eyes glued to the T.V, it was the detectives on Cat's case – Vincent went pale.

"Cat's not in the car with him!"

"It's okay Vince that doesn't mean anything." J.T said.

"Of course it does, he's given up on her, that only means one thing he killed her!"

"We don't know that, just relax." Even as he said it J.T knew telling him to 'relax' was a dumb thing to say but he didn't know what else to do.

In that instant J.T's attention was brought to Tess, who was hunched over and panting.

"Tess?"

She looked up and he knew instantly what was wrong.

"The baby!" She whispered through her pain.

Vincent looked up both the woman he cared about were in serious danger and as much as he loved Catherine he knew there was nothing he could to help her right now. So he stepped into action telling J.T to call the hospital and carrying Tess to the car.

Catherine opened one eye (not that she had much choice the other one was so swollen she couldn't open it anyway) and cried out in pain she was sore everywhere! She could hear cars whizz by in the distance and feel grass beneath her, she tried to move but it hurt too much.

She heard shouting in the distance followed by a dogs bark; the dog drew nearer until she felt its warm breath against her cheek, soon after hands touched her.

Catherine shrieked out terrified it was James come to finish the job.

"Hey it's okay." The man crooned. "She's over here!" The man yelled out and soon more men and dogs came to her. They told her an ambulance was on the way and to just hold tight.

She had been found! She was so relieved, Catherine let the tears fall and gave in to the darkness that called her.

Tears fell from Tess' face as she pushed with all her might, there was nothing they could do to stop the baby coming but pray it would survive at 6 weeks premature.

"She's here!" J.T yelled out as Tess gave the final push.

"She?" Tess huffed out.

"Yeah, our beautiful little girl!" He smiled.

After half an hour Tess and the baby had been cleaned up and given a clean bill of health.

Vincent walked in to congratulate the couple. "What's her name?"

Tess and J.T looked at one another and said "Catherine" simultaneously.

A tear escaped Vincent's eyes.

Bright lights beamed down on Catherine making her squint, she caught sight of a nurse looking at her chart through her good eye.

"W-water please?" She rasped out.

"Of course." The nurse smiled and helped Cat take a drink.

Cat wasn't sure how long she had been there but she had hoped the next time she had awoken Vincent might have been there, a tear escaped her.

Vincent's phone blared waking the baby from her nap; he gave J.T and Tess an apologetic look.

"Sorry little Cat" He whispered to the bay as he answered the phone.

Within a second he dropped the phone.

"She's here! They found Catherine! She's at this hospital."

Tess and J.T breathed heavy sighs of relief.

"Well Go! Go to her, Tell her as she has a God-Daughter to meet!" Tess said through tears.

As Catherine tried to shift positions she stifled a moan.

"Hey"

Catherine froze- Vincent!

She turned slowly and saw his drawn in face, he raced to her and held her softly careful not to hurt her.

"My God Catherine! I thought.. Well never mind! I'm so glad you're alive. I've missed you so much." Vincent said through his waterfall of emotions.

"Oh Vincent! I've missed you so much! Shhh I'm okay mostly nothing that won't heal."

He kissed her softly all over her face and then finally touched her lips.

"Tess had a little girl!" He whispered against her lips.

"She did? Are they okay?"

"Yes about 2hours ago both mother and baby are great! They've named her Catherine!"

Cat chuckled and happy tears threatened to fall. "Aww, my little Kitten."

Vincent laughed. "I'm glad to see your humour is still intact."

Vincent's face sobered up then, the truth of the matter they had no idea what damaged had been caused by her beating.

A few days later Tess, J.T and little Cat or Kitten as Catherine had nicknamed her came to visit.

Catherine was in the middle of a hugging session with the baby when the doctor came in asking for a moment with Vincent and her.

The doctor had some bad news- I'm very sorry Miss Chandler, Mr Keller there is no easy way to say this but the injuries you have suffered have had a big effect and I'm sorry to tell you, you'll never be able to conceive a child."

Cat and Vincent looked at one another and cried- for a long time.

They lied in one another's arms and kissed one another sweetly.

"I'm sorry Catherine!" Vincent said in her ear.

"Shh It's okay, stop apologising for things you can't control. We'll find a way to have a baby there are tons of options these days. Right now I just wanna focus on us. I love you Vincent!"

"I love you too baby!"

The End.
