You don't love me?

Part 2

Caitlyn cried herself to sleep all that week. She missed his laugh. She missed his hugs and his kisses. She missed his lame jokes that ended up making her laugh so hard tears were nearly rolling down her face. It wasn't until the second week of 'Naitlyn's break-up that Caitlyn realized the truth.

Mitchie and Caitlyn were sitting in Caitlyn's apartment, which was slowly but surely becoming the usual thing, and watching a movie.

"Cait, there's something you need to know." Mitchie said suddenly after eating a handful of popcorn.

"What is it, Mitch?" Caitlyn asked, not taking her eyes off the screen.

"Well, I know how you were really pissed at Nate because he wasn't spending time with you. Now, hear me out," Mitchie paused and Caitlyn turned to face her, "I know Nate can be kind of obsessed with his music sometimes but I also know that he loves you, so much that he would lie to you just to let you be happy."

Mitchie stopped talking for a second or two to let Caitlyn process this information.

"But—"

"No talking." Mitchie snapped, causing Caitlyn to raise her eyebrows at her. If it had Mitchie angry, then Caitlyn knew she did something wrong. "You can tell when he's lying, Cait. You should replay the scene in your head and look for any signs that he was lying. You know him better than anyone! He does love you."

Caitlyn sighed; she knew Mitchie was right.

"How can you tell that he loves me, Mitch?" Caitlyn whispered and hugged her legs to her chest.

"Nate's been working on something for you the past few months and I brought it over here so you could hear it." Mitchie said and reached down into her purse.

Mitchie pulled out a cd and Caitlyn gasped.

"Tell me he didn't, Mitch. Tell me, please!" Caitlyn begged as Mitchie handed her the cd.

Caitlyn didn't need a answer, because the title of the cd said it all.

"Songs for Caitlyn" Caitlyn whispered and ran her finger over the words.

Mitchie watched as her best friend literally collapsed on the couch sobbing with the cd held tightly in her hands.

"Oh, Caitlyn. You need to see him." Mitchie said seriously.

Caitlyn didn't have to be told twice. She quickly got up and grabbed her keys. She really couldn't care less about what she was wearing. She quickly grabbed her guitar. Caitlyn ran out the door in nothing but Nate's old t-shirt and a pair of his pajama bottoms. Mitchie smiled, knowing she had done the right thing. She just hoped that Caitlyn and Nate would get back together.

It was thundering in New York City around one a.m. Nate was worried. He was worried about Caitlyn, because he knew her fear of thunder. He was worried about his brothers, because they were worried about him. He was slowly drinking a beer on the couch. He wasn't ever one to drink this late at night, but he figured if he became an alcoholic he would slowly forget about Caitlyn. The pain in his heart was quick to remind him that he would never forget about Caitlyn. He was watching tv, but he wasn't seeing anything. His mind was taking him through all the memories that he and Caitlyn had shared over the past five years. Their first kiss, their first night holding each other, when they moved in together, everything. He heard someone sneezing just before the doorbell rang.

He moved slowly, not really caring. The doorbell rang again.

"Guys, you seriously don't have to check on me every minute—" Nate said but cut himself off when he saw Caitlyn.

She was wet from head to toe due to the rain. She looked up at him with wide, teary eyes.

"Hi."

His throat tightened and replied, "Hi."

Caitlyn didn't realize how hard this would be, to see him face-to-face.

"You lied to me." She whispered and held up the cd.

Nate's heart beat rapidly inside his chest, "Umm.."

"I can't believe you made me think you didn't love me. I should have known better. Your eyes twitch whenever you lie. Did you know that?" Caitlyn smirked.

"umm.. no?"

Caitlyn smiled, "Nice beard."

Nate blushed and said, "I was going for a hobo look."

Caitlyn laughed, "You succeeded." she paused then added quietly, "I think it looks hot."

Nate grinned and said, "So…"

Caitlyn rolled her eyes, "So…"

They stood there for a minute before Nate grabbed her and pulled her into his arms. His lips touched hers and her knees became weak. She hadn't felt this good in a while. She smelled like cinnamon, all thanks to her shampoo. He loved it, but more importantly he loved her and that was never going to change. He smelled like apples, which made her smile. She loved it, but she loved him more.

"I'm sorry." He said seriously, after pulling away from the kiss.

"Nate, I missed you. So much it hurt." Caitlyn said brokenly and a tear fell down her face.

Nate was quick to caress her cheek before wiping away her tear. His eyes widened for a moment.

"Be right back."

Suddenly he was gone, leaving her outside of their apartment. She scratched her head confusingly. Had she done anything wrong? She slapped herself mentally; it must have been the way she was dressed. That had to be it. Unless it was her breath. Caitlyn quickly checked her breath and came to the conclusion that he had just stood her up. Before she could leave, however, Nate reopened the door.

"I've got something to ask you, Caitlyn Gellar." Nate said professionally.

"Oh yeah?" Caitlyn teased.

Nate smiled, "Yeah."

He got down on one knee and said, "Will you…"

She held her breath.

"—move back in with me?"

Caitlyn sighed, wishing that it wasn't the question he was going to ask her. Before she could say hell yes, he started laughing and stood up.

"What's so funny?" Caitlyn asked confusingly.

"Your face was priceless. Plus, that wasn't the question I wanted to ask you anyway."

Caitlyn looked at him hopefully.

"Ask away!" She said immediately and pushed him back onto his knee.

Nate laughed at her eagerness and pulled out a box, "Caitlyn Gellar," he paused and held the box tightly, "I know we've been through a lot. I also know that I'm the world's biggest ass for letting you go, but I knew I had to do it so you could be happy—"

"I'm happy with you! It's you, I want!" Caitlyn exclaimed.

Nate laughed, "Good, because that makes this much easier. Caitlyn, I love you. So much that it made me sink into a depression that I couldn't shake. Worse than when I was diagnosed with Diabetes, even." Caitlyn frowned at the memory; "I love you with all my heart and soul. I promise, no wait.. I know I will be a better man with you by my side again, Cait. Will you marry me?"

Caitlyn gasped as Nate opened the box, "DUH!"

Nate laughed at the typical Caitlyn response and grinned as he put the ring on her finger.

"I love you!" She exclaimed and kissed him.

Remembering something, she pulled away.

"You might not want to marry me after I tell you this, but.. uh.." Caitlyn paused and looked at their intertwined hands.

"I'm—uh.." She paused again nervously.

He squeezed her hand reassuringly. She sighed.

"I'm pregnant."
