After we put all the kids to bed, Thomas and I were talking about how he's going to school to be an EMT. Me: "Aw, well, I'm proud of you and I'll support you."

Thomas: "Aw, thanks, love…crap."

Me grinning: "Love, huh?"

Thomas: "Shut up."

Me: "No, no, I want to hear more of this."

Thomas: "Shut up! It slipped out!"

Me: "You said love, you said love!"

Thomas: "SHUT UP!"

Me: "Admit it! You love me!"

Thomas: "NO! You'll never make me say it again!"

Me: "Would it help if I told you I love you too?"

Thomas: "…yeah, a little."

I still can't stop laughing…good times :)

Everybody's Fool

Chapter 42: Pack Up and Get Out!

I do NOT own Victorious

...

Beck watched in silence as Cat was setting 5 week old Anthony down in his crib with his pale blue sleeper on. The young baby's hair was starting to grow a little and it looked to be dark brown so far. Cat hoped it was going to be just like Beck's crazy hair. His skin color was darker as well. So he had Beck's hair, skin color, eyes, and ears…but he had his mother's heart and love. Beck could already tell that his son would be a momma's boy the way Cat takes such tender care of him. When Cat put the baby monitor inside the crib, turning it on, she took the other talkie, and smiled to Beck. "Hi." She whispered as they left the room and closed the door a little. "How long were you standing there?"

Beck shrugged, leading her into the bedroom. "Not even a minute. Why don't you lay down? I'll make you some soup?" He helped under the covers. "I know that's all you really can keep down."

She nodded, propping herself against the pillows. She took his hand. "Yes, please. But don't worry so much."

"I can't help it." Beck attempted to sound strong, but he couldn't. He was worried sick. "Cat, you aren't eating like you should. I'm…I'm…I'm sorry, but I just don't want you to start up your damn eating disorder." He blurted out, since he didn't know how else to word his point.

She glared. "Starting up my eating disorder? Do you think it just has a switch button or something? God, you're such a jackass!"

His eyes widened. "How the hell did this turn around to being my fault? I just don't want you to throw yourself away like you used to! You have a son to care for!"

Cat reached over, grabbed Beck's pillow, and harshly flung it at his face, making him grunt in pain. "Jerk."

Beck looked up from the floor, his hair a complete mess now…well, messier than usual. "Take your pissed out anger out on me ALL you want, but let me tell you something! I refuse to marry you until you get your priorities checked out! Because if you-" Cat suddenly left the bed, pushing him out of the way, and went to the closet. "What are you doing? We're having a conversation, Cat! You can't- what are you doing?" He asked in shock as she took out his suitcase he used to move all his stuff in.

"You said you won't marry me, so fine." She had tears brimming her eyes, but refused to let them go. "Leave. Get out. I'm kicking you out. We'll talk about what days you can have Anthony later."

Beck's jaw dropped. "What?"

"Pack up your shit and get out!" Cat screamed. "I'm kicking your sorry ass out!"

"I'm not going anywhere!" Beck snarled, getting fed up with her crazy mood swings.

Cat raised an eyebrow and shrugged. "You give me no choice, Oliver." She picked up her cell phone and pressed it to her ear after she clicked on a contact. Beck watched her with nervousness. "Hey, Jade? I need your help."

Beck groaned…he was getting kicked out.

WHAT's NEW ON TheSLAP:

Beck Oliver: Back living at Andre's…why do I open my dumbass mouth half the time? Now my fiancée kicked me out…and Jade kicked my ass. Ow. Mood: Guilty

Andre Harris: Yeah, just like old times! …except the fact I have to be pissed at Beck for yelling at my Lil' Red and Robbie's living here…can I kick Robbie out? Mood: Weird

Cat Valentine: Single? Not sure yet. We'll see, won't we? Because if Beck doesn't fix this soon, I'm going to be an available single mom. Mood: Mommy :)

Jade West: Felt so damn GOOD to beat the living shit out of Beck and break the headlights on his car :D Mood: Satisfied

Tori Vega: Why do I feel like I missed something? Probably because I did, huh? Damn, I always do! Mood: Ignored :(

Robbie Shapiro: CAT'S AVAILABLE! YESSS! MY CHANCE HAS NOT BEEN LOST! Mood: Excited ;)

Knock, knock, knock

Cat looked up from her laptop on her queen size bed and looked into the darkened hallway. It was almost 9 at night, so who the hell would be at her house at that time? "Beck." She rolled her eyes as she left the bed, but made sure Anthony was snuggled in good as he was sleeping next to her, in the middle of the bed. She kissed his head and left the room with only her tight t-shirt and baggy pajama pants on. When she turned the hallway light on, she almost made it to the front door when someone suddenly started wiggling the door knob, trying to force it open.

She looked and saw the alarm system was on…

Wait, Beck knew of the alarm system and knew she kept it on every night…so why the hell would he try to force the door open? He wouldn't, so it wasn't him. Shit.

"Dammit." She rushed back into the bedroom, taking Anthony into her arms gently, and went into closet with her cell phone. She dialed the police and they said they'd be right over. Suddenly she heard the front door slam open and the alarm was set off. She hissed at the screeching noise that probably woke up the whole neighborhood and Anthony whimpered. She held him close to her chest and tried to calm him down.

Of course this would happen the day Cat kicked Beck out…

Suddenly the alarm was turned off a minute later and she held her breath.

"Miss Valentine?" A man's voice shouted out when someone entered the bedroom. "This is Detective Draggs from the Police!"

Cat sighed in relief as she and Anthony left the closet. She went back into the bedroom and saw two detective's there. "Thank you so much for coming." She told them as she cradled her 5 week old son in her arms, who was cooing. "We were so frightened."

"Do you live alone?" The other detective asked.

"Yes, for now." She nodded. "Did you guys get whoever broke the door down?"

"No, and we have people checking the house and outside." He reassured her. "But we did find this. Come with us." He motioned for Cat to follow him, which she did. In front of the front door was a single rose with a note on it. Cat's stomach dropped and flipped. "The note states that the person is watching you and loves you. Does this happen often?"

"There's been someone putting single roses in random places for me." Cat sighed out. "This…this was a little too close for comfort though. Obviously. I just kicked my fiancée out today, so it's weird this suddenly happened tonight."

"Do you think it was your fiancée?"

"No." Cat shook her head. "It's someone else. I'm not sure who though."

Knock, knock

They looked to the front door and there stood…

"Carlos?" Cat whispered.

The new neighbor nodded. "Cat, I saw the police outside and I was worried. Is everything alright?"

"Um, yeah, everything's fine." Cat told him. "We're fine."

"Oh good, because I know Beck left today-"

"How did you know that?" Cat narrowed her eyes as the police continued to discuss the incident amongst themselves.

"I live across the street." Carlos shrugged and then gave her a creepy smile. "I see a lot of things, Cat."

Cat gulped. "Um…well, Anthony and I are fine, Carlos."

"Great." He nodded. "I'll talk to you later then, Cat." And he walked out.

Cat watched him walk back to his house and took out her cell phone, dialing Beck's number.

"Call to tell me to go dig up a hole and bury myself alive there too?" Beck's annoyed voice came through.

Cat frowned. "Well, I was just calling to let you know that that stalker with the roses just broke into the house and I think I know who it is, but forget it. Obviously I've upset you to the point you don't give a freaking shit about what happens to me and your son." Cat growled out and then hung up the phone.

Shocker that Beck was there in no less than 5 minutes.

Cat shakily thought about everything…

Was Carlos the stalker?

And also…damn, she was hungry. No, no, eating. She cursed herself. You can't eat much. Remember? You have to lose that fat you gained. If you're fat, Beck will hate you…no eating.

She put a hand to her stomach that was growling.

None.


Random Fact about DA: I still have my freaking 16,000 dollar engagement ring from my ex-fiancée and I'm not giving it up for the world. That bastard is going to have to pry it out of my cold dead fingers…let's hope that never becomes reality, but even then, I won't let go ;)
