Chapter Thirty
Unconditional Love
Beck walked out of the master bathroom to the empty room, seeing Cat wasn't present. When he heard singing in the kitchen, he figured she was making breakfast, as she said she would. He dressed in some of the clothes he had brought over from the night before, since he wanted to spend the night with Cat, and made sure he looked decent before leaving the room. He walked into the kitchen, smelling Cat's wonderful cooking he rarely was able to smell.
Cat looked up and smiled.
He admired her pink sundress she had on, since spring had arrived so it wasn't raining or cold anymore, and grey and pink TOMs on her feet. Her red hair was up in a slick back ponytail and she had no trace of makeup, which made her skin just glow within the morning sunlight coming through the open curtained windows within the kitchen. He saw she was making French Toast, with scrambled eggs, and bacon. He smiled. He was excited to marry this woman.
"I made you some coffee." Cat said in her soft voice, motioning to the counter in the corner with a high-tech coffee maker. "My father bought it for when he would come and visit, whenever that will be." She told him as he took a mug out of one of the cabinets. "I hope you're okay with breakfast. I'm extra hungry today." She giggled, putting on dainty hand on her growing, but still tiny stomach. "Maybe the baby will be a boy, since boys eat a lot."
Beck walked over to her and kissed her lips. "You're so perfect." He whispered to her.
Cat pecked his lips back before turning back to the food so she didn't burn it. He wrapped his arms around her waist from behind and watched her work and took in her scent of her perfume. Tarea from Rue21, which is what she's been using since she was a young teenager. For her birthday every year, they'd always get her Rue21 gift cards since she either bought her perfume or clothes from there. It was her favorite store, next to Juicy Couture.
When she turned the burners off, he shook himself out of his daydream. "Do you want me to set the table?"
"Already done." She said cutely.
He looked over to the kitchen table and saw two place settings. "Cat, you're perfect times 2."
"You're so silly." She told him as she put the food on large plates and Beck took them to the middle of the table. She poured him coffee into his mug and then poured some orange juice into a glass. "So…I have a question." She said as they started eating.
Beck swallowed a bite and raised an eyebrow. "Ask away."
"Are we just boyfriend/girlfriend?" Cat asked after taking a sip from her glass of orange juice. "Or are we engaged?"
Beck chuckled. "I'm not sure. I guess we have to discuss that, huh?"
"It feels weird." Cat said, playing with her food a little. "I mean…" She trailed off.
Now Beck was getting nervous again and lost his smile. "Cat, I know this is the hard part. It's going to be awkward for the next few days…or weeks. I hope not months. What I did to you ruined quite a bit for our relationship, but together we are going to rebuild that trust and respect. A lot has changed between us, but that won't stop our love. Love overcomes anything and everything." He held his hand out from across the table and Cat reached over, holding it. "And we are in a deep love. We've come so far and crossed so many bridges together. We can do this."
Cat sighed and smiled. "Okay."
Beck was right. It was going to be uncomfortable, considering the fact they had hated each other guts for a few weeks now, but they were going to get through it like they always have. After eating, Cat put the dishes in the sink and Beck turned her around after a minute. She turned back to him and gave him a questioning look before he went down on one knee. She smiled sweetly. "Will you marry me?" He asked, having the engagement ring between his fingers.
Cat nodded. "Yes." He put the ring on her finger before standing back up. She leaned into his arms, taking in his cologne. "I missed you so much." She said softly, holding him tighter around the waist.
Beck rubbed her back and kissed her head. "I missed you too. I'm never letting you go again. I refuse to go one day without you." He sighed, resting his chin gently on her head. "I love you."
…
Beck and Cat walked into their first class and the first thing they saw a blur of long brown hair rushing at Cat. The redhead made a squeak when Tori wrapped her arms around her shoulders, hugging her tightly. Cat tired to hug back, but felt herself losing air. "Tori…Tori…Tori, I can't breathe!" Cat squealed and Tori suddenly released her, letting Cat breathe again. "Whew."
Tori jumped up and down. "Oh, Cat, let me see it!" The Latina grabbed Cat's left hand and examined the ring. "It's so cute!"
"I love it." Cat smiled. "This time, it's never coming off."
"No, it is not." Beck chuckled.
Tori put a hand to Cat's growing stomach. "Aw, Cat, you're glowing! And the baby bump is so tiny!"
"Vega, shut up!" Jade snarled from her place in the middle row next to Robbie. Andre was a few chairs down and Tori's stuff was next to Andre. "Jeez, we get it. You're happy for Cat and Oliver. Now give it a damn rest!"
Tori put her hands on her hips, glaring to the Goth. "Can't you just let me have my moment for once?"
"No!" Jade snapped.
Cat walked into the row and Beck followed her. She gave Andre a big hug first before sitting next to Jade. Beck and Andre began talking, while Cat smiled to Robbie. "Hi, Robbie!"
"Hey, Cat!" Robbie greeted with a big grin. "You look so beautiful today!"
Cat blushed. "Thank you."
"I mean, seriously, you're a twin to an angel in heaven!"
"Okay, puppet-man, we get it." Jade growled and then looked to Cat with a scowl. "How could you take that cheater back after everything's he's put you through? Cat, he took you to hell and back over the past few weeks and yet you take his sorry ass back? What the hell?"
Beck leaned over Cat to glare to Jade. "I can hear you, you know that right?"
"I'm well aware, asshole." Jade sneered.
"Jade, I understand you're worried about me and the baby, but it's not just about Beck." Cat tried to calm her down. "I've been so upset and depressed…I need Beck. He's like my lifeline. I can't live without him. I wanted so hard to forget him to the point I almost signed papers for him to have absolutely no rights to what happens in our child's life. But I realize that it can't happen that way. It just won't work that easy. There's love, and then there's unconditional love. We have unconditional love. We'll never be able to break that either. We're stuck like glue."
Beck suddenly wrapped his arms around Cat and she did the same, hugging him tightly. He let out a breath of relief and happiness. He officially was never going to lose her. He looked over Cat's shoulder, seeing Jade's upset face. "Jade, I swear I'm never hurting her again." He told her, still keeping a tight hold around his one and only love. "I know I've put her through so much trauma, but that was the last one. It took this whole ordeal to make us realize that nothing can break us apart. The world can try, but we have unconditional love. Yes, we're stuck like glue."
Jade leaned over. "You hurt her, cheat on her, insult her, or leave her…ever again…I'm not kidding this time when I say this: you're eff-ing dead. I'll gladly go to jail for murdering you. Do you understand me?" She said in her icy cold tone.
Beck nodded. He showed no fear or nervousness. "I understand."
…
"I need no permission, did I mention
Don't pay him any attention
Cause you had your turn
And now you gonna learn
What it really feels like to miss me!"
Cat watched from the side of the room, walking around, as her large class of dancers danced to their routine. "Feet up, feet up, Alice!" She yelled out to one of the girls, who nodded. "Riley, bend your legs!"
Cause if you liked it then you should have put a ring on it
If you liked it then you should've put a ring on it
Don't be mad once you see that he want it
If you liked it then you should've put a ring on it
"Sharper, girls, sharper!" Cat said, walking around the front to watch the girls dance. She couldn't believe they already had so much down, and they actually remembered it. The stress level was going lower for Cat, which was helping her already troublesome pregnancy. "Good!" Once that chorus was done, Cat pressed stop. The girls were out of breath and sweaty, but smiling. "Now how's that feel? Good so far?" She asked them.
"Yeah!" They all screamed, a bit on the hyper side.
Cat giggled. "I'm glad! Okay, girls, keep practicing! You're doing great! Class dismissed!" The girls grabbed their bags and water bottles, rushing out the door. Before Cat could grabs hers, Beck walked in with a grin. Cat smiled. "So how do you think they're doing?" Cat asked him with hope. "I think I see their teamwork growing stronger and they look like they're gaining a bit more self-confidence."
"That's probably because they have an amazing teacher they model after." Beck told her as he grabbed her dance bag from her and kissed her cheek. "They are looking great. They'll win that recital."
"I hope so, but I really just want them to have fun up there on that stage." Cat told him. "Kind of like I do."
Beck chuckled. "Come on, girl, let's get you home."
"Ooh, can we stop by Taco Bell?" She asked suddenly once he opened the passenger door for her.
Beck raised an eyebrow. "Sure, but why?"
"I'm craving a cheese rollup." Cat smiled cutely and pecked his lips before getting in the car.
Beck shook his head with a grin as he went over to the driver's side, but he was going to take her to Taco Bell, get her what she wanted, and make sure she had everything she needed. He needed her healthy and happy. Why?
She was pregnant with his child.
She was his fiancée.
And he loved her more than anything else in the world.
