I came home from work feeling pretty low, yesterday had taken its toll on me and chasing perps around hadn't helped. As I walked through the front door and went to my bedroom I was greeted by Vincent. He strode over to me, picking me up and kissing with such a fierce passion I lost my ability to think for a moment. I wrapped my arms around his neck, enjoying his taste, the softness of his lips. We both pulled away at the same time and gazed into each other's eyes; that's when the heartache kicked in. Who was I kidding last night, how could I hate this beautiful man, this man who had given me the greatest gift ever. The gift of motherhood, but he had some serious explaining to do. He put me down and watched me take my coat off, hanging it on the end of my bed. I turned to him with my arms crossed.
"Vincent I can't co
"Me and JT are being poisoned..."
"WHAT?!" I stared at him aghast.
"That's what has been causing mine and JT's mood swings. I swear to you Cat I am not lying…..Please believe me"
"So you want this baby"
"Cat more than you will ever know" He walked over to me and pulled me back into his arms burying his face into my hair before kissing my forehead. We went and lied on my bed he pulled me close holding me tight. Vincent filled me in on what had happened, I couldn't believe it we discussed the possibility of it being Murifield but they didn't know where he lived and for the moment they were out of the picture.
"So who could it be then….I mean no one knows about you except for me and JT"
"What worries me is how they managed to get their hands on Agent 15 and Methlatenoxide hydroxide. Once they shut down the operation all of it was destroyed. Plus your mothers research is the only research out there."
"True…So how are we going to find out who's doing this?" I traced the lines of his chest through his T-shirt my mind busy thinking, trying to figure out how we could catch them in the act.
"What do you mean 'we'? I'm not letting you get involved in this! Worrying about you and our unborn child would be more than what I could cope with!" I smiled with glee hearing him say 'our unborn child'. I looked up at him beaming placing a tender hand on his scared cheek, pressing my forehead to his.
"Say that again"
"Our unborn child" He whispered giggling; he looked down and put a hand on my stomach and gently rubbed it. Things escalated from there really, we spent most of the night making sweet tender love, before falling asleep in each other's arms.
It was like clockwork this morning sickness malarkey, I woke up at half five again with the dire need to be throw up. I had to my fight way out of Vincent's arms first, he thought I was playing until I told him I was going to threw up he released me pretty quickly then. I made it just in time luckily, Vincent came in not long after and knelt down next to me, he held my hair back and mopped my face with a damp wash cloth.
We shared a shower; before he went and made me breakfast, Heather was round at her boyfriends and Vincent wanted to make sure I ate properly. This also meant I was no longer allowed coffee, doctors' orders apparently. I made sure he knew not to cook any mushrooms as the smell made me feel pretty ill, and as I came out of my bedroom I was greeted by the smell of a cheese and bacon omelette.
"Smells good." I smiled taking a seat and digging in, watching him take a seat in front of me tucking into his breakfast. Neither of us spoke we were too busy enjoying our food. After we finished I mentioned the idea I came up with, on how to catch the person poisoning the water system.
"I think what we...
"Me and JT" I glared at him.
"Fine you and JT!" He smirked in satisfaction as I pretty much admitted defeat.

"There was something I had read about actually in a really old case, this guy was sick of people stealing his chicken off a night. He rigged each chicken coop with alarms. Every time one was opened during the night, this alarm would start blaring and it triggered the electric fence."
"So what you're saying is we rig the lid on the water tank….and then take down the old fence and fit it with a new electric fence?"
"Yes to rigging the lid on the water tank, as to for the fence. Nooo you don't have to replace it, just fix the hole in it and hook it up to a high voltage battery or something."
"Your smart as well as sexy…..I like it" I reached forward and punched his shoulder playfully.
"Anyway why did you have to arrest the guy? I mean protecting his land isn't exactly a crime" He collected my empty plate and placed them in the sink, I couldn't help but giggle as I remembered why he was arrested.
"Believe it or not, Indecent exposure"
Vincent let out a hearty chuckle; we spent the next half an hour talking about funny case and doing the washing up. I walked with him to the window; I had to leave for work in ten minutes. Vincent kissed me tenderly on the lips, before leaning down to kiss my stomach. I couldn't help but giggle at how soppy he was being. I watched him disappear before leaving the apartment.

Tess was in a really good, when I got into work this morning. She met me at the front door before ushering me down to the morgue. Evan was busy closing up the victim when we walked in, in this business you were used to seeing gory stuff. Evans office was messier than usual; there was what I assumed paperwork and books strewn all over the place. I tried to pay attention to what he was saying, but I was busy trying to work out what was up with Evan. His face was bright red, and he was shaking uncontrollably.
"Hey Evan are you okay?" I asked interjecting whatever he was saying.
"Yeah, you don't look great Evan….Coming down with the flu?" Evan shook his head, and wiped his forehead with the back of his sleeve.

"Yeah I'm fine, thanks for asking though ladies. Now shall we get back down to business?" We both nodded our heads and listened. It was the same old thing, woman having an affair; husband finds out and kills the lover. The perp left a ton of DNA on the vic, the case was closed by half six and my for mine Tess's excellent work, we were given a few days off. I wasn't going to refuse heck I was feeling pretty tired most of the time at the moment. I headed back down to the morgue to see if Evan was okay. I found his office door open and walked in; it was strange as Evan wasn't in here. He always locked his door when he left. I walked over to his desk and snooped a little, I started sifting through the papers and book when I recognised something. A little green book, I picked it up. It couldn't be….I mean what was Evan doing with my mothers work! How had he managed to get it in the first place?!
"Catherine….."
I jumped and turned around, Evan was standing in the doorway; except his eyes were glowing. They were golden.
