Author Note: I forgot to mention where I got the idea for this story from. It was from a TV show I use to watch years ago made by Stephen King called The Dead zone, if you have never seen that show you should check it out it is pretty good. Anyways Johnny the main character had a situation happen like this too where he went to sleep and woke on in an alternate universe. I was watching the show and thinking about VinCat at the same time and the idea for the story just came to me. although the dead zone version has a totally different storyline the whole waking up in an alternate universe storyline came from that show I even named this story "Netherworld" after that episode also called the same thing. anyways hope you like this chapter I had to split it up into two parts so chapter 5 will be the rest.

Chapter 4: I want to make you Happy

Vincent and Catherine got into Vincent's car, and only Vincent knew where they were going. Catherine seemed to trust him and also didn't seem as down as the days before so he looked at it as a good sign. Catherine dressed in a navy blue baby doll top and jeans and got comfortable in the front seat of Vincent's car.

"I didn't imagine you to be a Porsche driver," Catherine says

Vincent laughed "it's a long story"

"So where are we going?" Catherine asks checking out the interior of his car.

"Some place special, why do you have any requests?" Vincent says glancing at her and back at the road.

"Umm... as long as you don't try to take me to some motel to hook with me then we won't have a problem and I won't have to shoot you"

"You brought your gun," Vincent asked slightly shocked

"I trust no one and I just met you how do I know you aren't going to try to take me out somewhere and chop me up into pieces," she says looking at his face. Every time she saw Vincent he was becoming more and more attractive to her.

"I told you I would never hurt you, Catherine"

"And I believe you to an extent but I am also never going to be vulnerable either, I always make sure I will never be in a situation where I can't defend myself ever again"

"Like when your mom died," Vincent says

"Yes exactly" Catherine answers slightly getting sad.

"Catherine can I ask you why you and Heather aren't talking anymore"

"Why do you keep asking me about that," Catherine says getting defensive.

"What are you talking about I only asked you about it when you first told me about it. You said you guys had a falling out what happened? The Catherine I know loved her sister to death and talked to her all the time she was even living with you at some point before she went off to Miami"

"Miami? My sister is in Miami? How do you know that? Did she send you? Is that how you know so much about me? I should have known" Catherine says suddenly pissed off.

"Wait! Catherine you have the wrong idea, I don't know Heather at least not in this world. I only just got to really know her in the other world but that's beside the point. Why won't you just answer the question why is that so hard for you?"

"I don't want to talk about it and if you don't stop asking about it I am getting out of the car," she says with an attitude

"Catherine you can't be serious," he asks stunned by her demeanor

"As serious as a heart attack," she said with her arms crossed

This Catherine was starting to frustrate Vincent. She definitely had a chip on her shoulder and he was going to break her whether she liked it or not. He decided to be the bigger man and just admit being wrong because he didn't want to ruin the date.

"Catherine I am sorry I didn't mean to press you about your sister," Vincent says.

"It's alright," she says slightly calming down

"That's all you have to say?" Vincent asks. He assumed she would apologize for blowing up at him.

Catherine looked at him as if to say what else is there to say? Vincent just sighed and shrugged it off. This was going to be a long day if Catherine continued with this attitude. Vincent and Catherine arrived at their destination.

"Coney Island?" she said in disbelief

"Yep, you need to have some fun Catherine Chandler" as annoyed as she was about being here the way he said her name made her heart skip a beat. He got out of the car and opened the door for her.

"I know what you're thinking but I am telling you, you will have a good time I promise," he says holding his hand out for her to take. She hesitated slightly but grabbed his hand.

They first walked around taking in the sites talking and joking around, even walking on the beach with their shoes off letting their feet sink in the sand and the edge of the tide. Catherine was loosening up more and more. Vincent was right Catherine was having a good time. She was listening to all the silly stories Vincent told her about him and her in their other life. Catherine actually enjoyed hearing about the other Catherine although she was slightly jealous that the other Catherine's life seemed better than hers. It also was her fault that her life is this way in the first place so she shrugged it off. Eventually, they got on the Ferris wheel together the whole time they held hands enjoying each other. Vincent was enjoying himself the most for the first time in a while he was having a fun time not having to worry about beasting out or Muirfield.

"Vincent what about your life now? Where do you live? You told me you lived in a boat house once is that where you live here too" Catherine asked

Vincent slightly hesitated but answered "actually I live in Scarsdale here"

"Wow, your salary must be close to a million" Catherine joked.

"I wouldn't know I haven't seen a pay stub" Vincent laughs.

"So you live in a big house in the suburbs alone," Catherine asks

"Yes," Vincent says lying he felt guilty about lying to her but if Catherine knew he was married to Alex he just knew she wouldn't understand. He didn't want to risk losing her.

"So when do I get to see this huge house in Scarsdale?"

"One day," Vincent says smiling hoping she drops that subject. Catherine didn't pick up on the lie Vincent told and for that he was relieved.

After the Ferris wheel they rode the cyclone as much as Catherine tried to hide it she was enjoying herself Vincent could tell.

"I use to love this coaster as a kid," Catherine says as the ride comes to a stop.

"I did too, use to come here a lot with JT and some of our friends," Vincent says

"My mom and I loved the Cyclone and Heather was always scared to ride, the first time she rode with us she cried the whole time she never rode a coaster again," Catherine says remembering that day like it was yesterday. Her smile slowly faded and Vincent noticed.

"You miss her, don't you? Come on Catherine admit it I know you and don't get all angry about being vulnerable you do miss your sister" Vincent says trying to get her to open up without making her mad again.

She looked at him in the eyes then responded "ok I guess I do just a little" she slightly smiles.

"Catherine I know Heather enough to know she probably is missing you too," Vincent says grabbing her hand again as they walked near the games area.

Catherine didn't respond again to what Vincent said to her, but at least she wasn't mad about him bringing it up again which was a good sign she was coming around. He just knows Catherine in this world needs her family more than she wanted to admit. The Catherine he knew is the person she is now because of her family. The fact this Catherine doesn't lean on her family for support makes her cold and distant that's one thing Vincent wanted to change for her.

"Come join the game you two love birds or win a prize for the lady there sir!" the man running the water gun race shouts their way. Catherine looked at Vincent slightly blushing at the fact that the guy called them love birds. Vincent smiles at her and walks toward the water gun stand.

"I will win one for the lady Vincent" chuckles pretending to be macho

"Oh no you won't I can do it myself," Catherine says laughing along with him and sitting next to him at an open water gun station.

Vincent looks over at Cat and says "prepare to lose"

"In your dreams, Vincent don't forget I am a cop I live in the gun range," Catherine says.

"These are water guns" Vincent teases. Catherine sticks her tongue out at him like a little kid. Vincent laughs.

"Uh oh it looks like we got a good one here folks lover against lover," the guy running the stand says to amp up the crowd a small crowd gathered to watch them "let's see if the lady here can beat her knight in shining armor"

Vincent and Catherine were both amused by the guy running the stand he assumed so many things about them which made them smile because in some ways he was right. In the stories Vincent told Catherine about their other life together Vincent was her knight in shining armor but she was also his and some ways too.

Catherine had her hands set on the trigger of the water guns waiting for the guy to start the game. At the sound of the buzzard, the race begin and they both tried to keep their guns aimed at the center button on the broad. They were both neck and neck watching as both of their balls raised up at the same time. The alarms went off to declare the winner to everyone's surprise they both tied.

"Wow, folks we got a love birds tie! You both get a prize!" he says

Catherine picked out this cute bear with a cop uniform and sunglasses and Vincent picked out this white and black dog with long ears.

"This bear is so adorable," Catherine says as she and Vincent make their way to the car.

"Yea you just had to pick the bear with the same occupation as you" Vincent teased

"It's better than that long-eared dog you have" Vincent grabs Catherine pulling her towards him and tickling her for her comment.

"Take it back my little dog is cute too," Vincent says

"No I won't" Catherine laughs. Vincent picks Catherine up and playfully spins her in the air she giggles holding on with her arms around his neck. When Vincent stops spinning her he stares down at her loving that she was smiling and that he was the reason for it. Vincent gently put Catherine down both of them gazing into each other's eyes. Sparks were shooting back and forth between the pair. Vincent pulled Cat toward him slowly leaning his face in to kiss her. She on the other hand could barely move Vincent made her feel like she never felt before. Chills ran up her spine from his touch, his hand just at her lower back was warm and inviting. His lips brushed against hers making electricity flow from her lips to her heart. Finally, their lips met in a sweet gentle kiss that felt like it lasted for eternity but lasted only a few seconds. Catherine was the first to pull away her heart was beating a mile a minute. Vincent was about to say something when his cell started ringing. He pulled his phone out of his pocket and saw it was Alex he pushed the ignore button. When he looked up Catherine had walked away and was standing near the car waiting for him to unlock the door. Her face was hard to read, he wished he could at least hear her heartbeat he could always tell how she was feeling when he could do that.

Not knowing if she was uncomfortable with the kiss he decides to speak first.

"Catherine I am sorry, I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable," Vincent says as he gets in the car starts it up, and drives off.

"You didn't it's just…I am… I am not used to this" she confesses

"Use to what?" Vincent says trying to understand how she is feeling.

"Use to someone so into me like you are. The way you look at me sometimes is scary… not in a bad way" she corrected herself " it's just we just met and ever since the day you walked into my life you have looked at me as if you are in love with me. I am not used to anyone looking and feeling that way about me. Then that kiss wow" she slightly grins.

"Catherine I don't mean to make you uncomfortable but before I came here we were both in love with each other. I don't know another way to look at you" he chuckles "and I will try to keep my hands to myself ok"

"It's ok I am not uncomfortable just not used to it that's all. At least you look at me with love and not like I am a piece of meat like most guys"

"Well you are smoking hot" Vincent says causing her to laugh and blush.

"Thank you," she says "so where to next?"

"Well first back to your house we have to change, we are headed to someplace really nice"

"Hum… ok long as where we going has good food because I am starving" she replies

"It's the best you will see," Vincent says excitedly.

Soon as they returned to Catherine's apartment, Catherine went to pick out a nice dress to wear and Vincent who had a change of clothes already planned came up to get dressed too. He went into Catherine's guest bedroom to get dressed. Before he could even take off his clothes JT was calling his phone.

"Vincent where are you?" was the first thing JT said before Vincent even said hello.

"What's wrong JT," Vincent asks

"Alex is looking for you why aren't you answering her calls? You're with Cat aren't you?"

"How did you know?" Vincent says

"Because before she came along you were always with Alex. Lately, you have been disappearing, she has you missing work Vincent you are messing up"

"No she doesn't that was my choice," Vincent says sitting on the bed in Catherine's guest bedroom.

"Vincent are you crazy? Alex is a wreck right now and all you are worried about is spending time with Cat. Vincent Catherine is not your wife Alex is and you need to be with your wife. No offense to Catherine but Alex is your life here" JT says making Vincent feel guilty

"JT I already told you this isn't my life"

"V. listen to me this is going to backfire on you. You have to stop this right now or you will lose your family"

"I can't JT" Vincent sighed "Catherine needs me more than Alex and I told you Catherine is the one I love not Alex"

"Vincent…" JT tries to interject but Vincent cuts him off.

"Look JT just tell Alex I am fine and I will see her later tonight ok. I have to go" Vincent says hanging up the phone before JT can say anything else. Vincent sighed feeling conflicted he thought about his son and the bond he had developed with him. He was flooded with guilt. He tried to shrug off the feeling as he took off his jeans and put on his dress pants. He took off his shirt but sat back down on the bed feeling extremely conflicted about this situation. On one side he had Catherine this sweet strong caring woman who stole his heart and then Alex his first love who is suddenly his wife and their son the innocent one in this whole situation. He was starting to feel stressed out.

"Vincent" Catherine said from the doorway, she made him jump without his super hearing he never heard her coming.

"Sorry I didn't mean to scare you, are you ok?" Catherine asks trying not to stare at his chiseled biceps and body.

Vincent stood up taking in Catherine's beauty she looked incredibly stunning it took all the strength in him not to walk over to her and kiss and caress which he would have done had it been his other Catherine. She had on a ruby red strapless cocktail dress that hugged her curves and showed off her long legs with matching red heels. She was gorgeous and Vincent was at a loss for words he stared at her like a drooling idiot.

"Earth to Vincent," Catherine says walking closer to him and waving her hand in his face "are you ok?"

Vincent snapped out of his trance "yes I'm sorry… oh my god you are gorgeous"

"Thank you," says blushing seeming shy. "Why aren't you ready I've been gone 30 minutes," Catherine says.

"I know I got a phone call, that set me back some" he pulled on his button-up shirt, glancing over at Catherine who was applying lipstick in the mirror on the wall.

"I haven't gotten this dressed up in a long time," Catherine says.

"Really, a couple of cases I helped the other Catherine with called for use to dress up a few times," Vincent tells her

"You got to be fancy solving cases, nice," she says looking at the handsome Vincent who can't seem to take his eyes off of her. The way he looks at her always makes her stomach do flips and her heart flutter all at the same time. More and more Catherine was starting to get comfortable around Vincent here she was standing in the same room as him while he got dressed and it wasn't awkward at all. Vincent was a gentleman anyways even if she can tell his thought weren't always pure. She can tell when he looks at her lovingly and lustfully, but since he was a gentleman about it so she took no offense to it.

Catherine saw him putting his tie on and asked to help he let her even though he was perfectly capable of doing it himself. He just wanted her near even if it was to fix his tie. She smelled good she looked beautiful and all he wanted to do was take her in his arms and kiss her soft lips.

After the conversation, he had with JT he needed something to make what he was doing choosing Cat over his family not feel completely wrong. Knowing Catherine could possibly get mad at him he didn't care after she finished with his tie he quickly pulled her to him. He then planted a kiss on her lips. He waited to see how she would respond, she did return the kiss in fact she turned the kiss into a deeper one by gently biting his bottom lip. This in turn made him slide his tongue into her mouth. Cat pulled away again this time not wanting to get too caught up in kissing Vincent. It could get out of control she knew it had the potential to turn into more because she could tell Vincent didn't want to stop either.

"Come on Vincent we have to go," she says smiling at him and grabbing his hand. He followed her telling himself that after that kiss risking everything to be with her was all worth it, anything to make her happy.
