Hi guys, thank you SO much for the reviews from last chapter, I was so glad that you guys took time to write to me. This chapter is part 2 of the party from Peter's point of view from the moment Kate walks into the party. I hope you like it.


Peter (PPOV)

I was afraid Katherine wouldn't come; I could never know what would be her next step. But before I could really be worried about her not coming she made her entrance; nobody notice her at first but at the moment I laid my eyes on her I was lost, she was always so pretty, so elegant and, she was mine.

"Hi love, how are you?"

"Hi Peter, I am fine, how are you?" She said giving me a big smile.

"I am better now, baby." I said leading her to our table, my mother as always were cold to Katherine, responding her greeting with a polite smile before going back to her drink. Obviously Kate didn't like coming to my family's party, nobody except Sarah and the men were nice to her.

"How was your work day?" I asked trying to make conversation with Katherine

"Was great, how were yours?"

"Great too" And with that we stayed in silence observing the people of the party, not wanting to break the contact I put her hands in mine trying to get all of her that she was willing to give me.

After a few minutes some of the men and my brother-in-law come to Katherine and started talking about their job and asking about hers, I never quite understood why always all the men came to talk to her, even being a psychiatrist and spending years studying human behavior I didn't get why all the men of my family have to come to talk to Kate. If they thought she was pretty, they could admire from far, but no, they were always so close. Maybe somebody could think that I was jealous, don't think it, I wasn't jealous I knew that Katherine would never cheat on me, she was better than this; cheaters usually are coward people who don't have the guts to tell their partner that their relationship isn't working and Katherine was the bravest person I knew.

After 10 minutes of the men surrounding Kate, the wifes started looking at Katherine with a jealous look, like any minute she would steal their husband.

Katherine probably starting to feel overwhelmed excused herself and went to play with Donna.

One of the things that I realized about Kate over the years was that she didn't like attention if she didn't do anything to deserve it; when she won a case and was all over the news she loved talking to the press about her work, when one of her older professor and friend asked her to come to the university and talk to the students, she loved it; But the moment the conversation was personal she would get shy. The first thing personal that I learned about her took me 5 dates when usually at the end of the second that I would know everything about the woman that I was dating; don't get me wrong, at the beginning of the relationship Katherine and I couldn't stop talking, we talked about daily, superfluous things, nothing personal, nothing deep.

"Hey Peter, how are you?" My brother-in-law, Margaret's husband, said making me come back to the reality.

"Hey Chris, I'm good, how are you?"

"Good, how is work? Still full of crazy people?" Chris had been making this same joke since he started dating Margaret, 12 years ago; to say that I was tired of it was a euphemism.

"Yeah, still full of crazy people." A few years ago I gave up of correcting him.

"Good, that's good. So, when is the wedding?"

"I don't know, Katherine said she would make time to arrange it this few next months."

"Man, if you girl has to arrange time to plan her own wedding she doesn't want to get married!" He said laughing and giving me a "friendly" slap on my back.

"Katherine is a busy woman, and different from the others women we know she doesn't care if we get married or not, to her a piece of paper doesn't make a difference in our love." I really didn't believe that but I didn't have a better response.

"Yeah…sure." He said with a chuckle like he didn't believe me either. "After I proposed to Margaret, she started planning our wedding the next day and before I asked her to marry me she had been leaving advertisements of engagement ring all around my apartment giving me a hint."

"You can't compare Margaret and Katherine, they are complete different people."

"If you say so…"

I got tired of that stupid conversation; I never liked Chris, never quite understood why Margaret fell in love with him and besides that he was always rude and sexist. Not willing to stay there and listen to one more stupid thing I got up and went to the bar. Before Katherine I wasn't really a drinker, but she made drinking look so cool that sometimes when we were out I would ask for some whisky.

We never drank to be drunk but as some way to distract ourselves from the reality. Katherine usually drank much more than I but she never appeared drunk; I suspected that with her mother's death she turned to the occasional drink and drugs, not as her father that became an alcoholic, but like a drinking until pass out on the weekends. She never told anything more than the necessary about that time and she only talked about it the first time we made love since she had to explain all her scars.

I don't want to lie to you, the first time I saw those scars I got scared, without something covering it and without her bra she looked like a tormented angel. After the initial shook I fell in love with that too; it was something that made me special among all the others, because I knew about it. When she got too much attention from others men better than me, more handsome, smarter or richer, it was the scars that stopped me from going crazy jealous, I was still jealous but less that I was when we started the relationship and I didn't know about it; like knowing about it created a special bond between us.

"Hello little brother!" I heard the voice of my sister pulling me out of my thoughts

"Hi Margaret." I said with an annoyed voice.

"How are you?"

"Good and you?"

"I am good my dear, so…. When is the wedding?"

"Please Margaret, did you and your husband schemed something together? He already annoyed me talking about this today."

"We were talking about it before the birthday party, we don't scheme nothing Peter. And besides, is a valid question, you two have been engaged for almost an year, at this time, on my engagement I was already finishing planning my wedding and something tells me that Katherine didn't even start."

"She didn't start it because she is very busy, she works a lot, something that you wouldn't understand."

"It is not like she needed to work this much since after you two get married she will stop working."

"What? Why would she stop working?"

"Because when you two get married she won't needed it, you make a lot of money. She will stop working, get pregnant and raise the kids."

"We aren't going to have kids." I mumbled with my lips on the glass afraid of what commotion this statement would make.

"What? Katherine doesn't want to have kids? Oh God, please say that I heard it wrong." Margaret screamed attracting attention to our conversation and making a few people look with interest at us.

"Yes, she doesn't want too. Since I respect her wish we probably won't have any children."

"And what about you? What you want?" Margaret was now screaming and attracting more attention.

"Her body, her choices. I accepted it when I proposed and she said that she didn't want kids so if I wanted them, we should follow our own path."

"Oh, please! That is bullshit!"

"Margaret, just let it go, please!"

"What is the problem here?" My mother came to us with her calm voice that she used when we were kids and were in trouble.

"The problem is Katherine as always is!" Margaret shouted now attracting also Katherine's attention. Seeing that she was the subject of the screaming, she kissed Donna on the left cheek and started walking towards us with her posture from the court. Margaret was screwed, when Katherine had this posture it meant problem to whoever had messed up with her, or her client.

"I heard my name and the word problem without hearing the word solved which means that is impossible for that sentence to exist, so Margaret, did I hear it wrong?" Katherine said with the softest voice ever, like Margaret was some kind of kid that has difficulty understanding things.

"No, you didn't hear wrong. I was saying that almost every time there is a problem, you are the reason. You don't talk to us, you never come to the events, you don't want to have kids, you don't want just to be a wife, and you aren't even caring about you own WEDDING" Margaret screamed very loud making now everybody from the party look including the staff.

"Look Margaret, if you weren't Peter's sister I would crush you like I usually do with people in court, and besides you being Peter's sister I am not even getting money from this shit so why waste my potential? If you want to sit and talk with me, so we can work it out all this things about me that bugs you please do! Call my office or my cell phone, which one is better for you and make an appointment anytime you want, but please don't destroy the party of your beautiful little girl. I will be waiting for your call. Have a nice afternoon."

And with that she got her bag from the table near us and left, leaving all the adults looking at the space where she was a few minutes ago without knowing what to say. Margaret was opening her mouth like a stupid goldfish and the kids were looking at the adults trying to understand what the fuck just happened there. And you ask yourself: "what about you Peter, what were you thinking or feeling?" I was imagining angry Kate on my bed.
