I'm really sorry about what happened in Boston, my prayers are with all of you America. I pray to God that one day, we will be finally free from such cruelty and ignorance.

Beauty & the Beast doesn't belong to me, if does Max Brown would still be on the show. And Cw you better get us season 2. English is not my first language, so any typo or grammar mistakes (I don't use Google), please let me know.

Find someone that isn't afraid to admit they miss you. Someone that knows you're not perfect but treats you as if you are. Someone who couldn't imagine losing you. Someone who gives their heart to you completely. Someone who says I love you and proves it. Last but not least, find someone who wouldn't mind waking up to you in the morning, seeing your wrinkles and grey hair but still falls in love with you all over again (Unknown quote)

"JT is thrilled about the night vision" Catherine murmured to Vincent. After another make love session they were lay down in the bed surrounded only by the sheets and each other's bodies. Vincent had his right arm around Catherine and her head was resting on his bare chest.

"Yeah he is" Vincent replied "Well, after the whole black out thing, I think this at least, is something useful, right? Now you can't hide from me even in the dark." He smiled and kissed her head.

"Like I was intending to hide from you." She chuckled and started to draw some patterns on his chest with her fingers.

He smiled but then his tone became more serious "Finally we have some advantage"

Catherine stopped and looked at him "You mean over Muirfield."

Vincent nodded "They don't know about this so…it's like we have a step forward"

Catherine hugged Vincent tightly "I won't let anything ever happens to you."

Vincent looked at her "Catherine" he sighed "You can only do so much and…that's my major fear…You and JT will do whatever takes to keep me safe and…you two can be killed in the process. How am I supposed to live with that, if I lose both of you?"

"How are WE supposed to live if something happens to you?" she caressed his cheek "Vincent, crazy stuff happens, believe me I've been around for a while and in life there is no guarantees…but this is OUR life now and if we have to fight every day to keep it that's what we are going to do. I don't know how or when, but one day you will get your life back."

Vincent shook his head "I don't want my older life back, if it means I won't have you."

Catherine looked at him "You won't lose me, I promise; when Muirfield goes down, I'll be there, right beside you.

"I love you so much!" he said before kiss her.

"I love you too." Catherine replied resting her head again on his chest.

In the next morning Catherine woke up alone in the bed…when she went downstairs Vincent warned her. "Go back to bed; I'll be bringing breakfast in a second."

She smiled and obeyed, she knew that outside of those walls there were not many things Vincent could do with her or for her like he would if they were in a 'normal' relationship. So, if she could give that to him and make him happy with this, so would be. As soon as she got in the bed Vincent appeared on the door with a tray with two orange juices, four French toast, and two papayas.

"Hope you like" she said putting the tray in front of her.

Catherine smiled "Thank you. I will love it, for sure."

"Things are going to change once we go back" Vincent murmured drinking his juice.

"I know" Catherine responded "But let's take one day at time." She drank some of her juice. So, someone's birthday is tomorrow"

Vincent choked on the juice "How did you…JT….When…" he stumbled on his words.

Catherine laughed "Calm down. I know for a while. You remember the case that took me to you?" Vincent nodded and Catherine continued "I was investigating , so one of the first things I learn about you was your birth date."

"OK" he answered unsure, 'where she was going with that.'

"Since I can't surprise you because of your super hearing I want to do something special for you tomorrow. I know you said you and JT haven't celebrated birthdays in ten years and you don't have many things to celebrate but…" Vincent silenced her with a kiss.

"What are you saying?" He asked confused when they pulled apart "Do you remember the day we met and I was begging for you not to tell anyone about me? That was the best day of my life."

Catherine sighed in disbelief "Riiiight"

"It's true…i…I've been watching out for you for so many years, making sure that you were safe, and all I wanted was to get the chance to know you…to meet you. When you walked up that stairs and you said my name…"Catherine caressed his cheek "Do you remember the first time you did that?" Vincent asked taking her hands on his kissing them.

"It was the same day you saved me on the subway tunnels, you had saved me…AGAIN and you took me to the warehouse and…" Catherine responded

"And I told you all about me, you had seen me in my worst form and you still came closer and caressed me and for that second you…you made me feel human again."

Catherine cupped his face "You ARE human, Vincent. You ARE a man; the best I knew in my entire life."

He laid his forehead to hers "And I know it won't be much, but I want to celebrate the day the love of my life was born." Catherine murmured to him "But if it will make you uncomfortable, I will understand and we can pretend that it's just another day and…"

Vincent silenced her with a kiss again "You were rambling" he laughed "I didn't know that about you."

She punched his shoulder "That's not an ordinary thing, this I can tell"

"If you say so." He replied "And about my birthday, if will make you happy…"

"No, it's your birthday!" she shook her head "I want to make YOU happy."

'What a thing to think. When she will understand if she is happy I'll be happy too?' Vincent thought. "Ok, I'll be happy as long as I'm with you. Satisfied?"

"Very much" she answered and smiled "So, order for tomorrow, you can't under any circumstances leave this bed until I say so, ok?"

"Yes Madam." Vincent replied and won a punch on his shoulder again. "What?"

"Women don't like to be called Madam at least not until we are fifty."

"Ok, no more Madam for you."

"Good soldier." She replied before get out of the bed "Now I going to take a shower."

"It's an invitation?" Vincent asked.

"I don't know. You tell me." Catherine said taking off her pajamas and throwing on the floor walking towards the bathroom.

Vincent watched her walking in front of him naked and shook his head "That was sure an invitation" he murmured to himself before go after her.

"Love is that condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own. (Robert A. Heinlein, Stranger in a Strange Land)

I'm so sorry, another short chapter but in my defense I got the flu this week so I decide to enjoy the fact that I feel a little better today and write this chapter. What do you think about Thursday's episode? I really thought they were going to kill Evan, but I wasn't ready for that. I love Max Brown and I just wish it had a way for him to come back. I'm going to miss him and his sexy British accent.

What about that last scene? Ok Vincent, I can finally forgive you for the whole Alex thing…"That was the best day of my life" won me over. So true, that I had to put here. So, talking about 'Not alone', what do you think about a birthday for Vincent? I definitely want to see this on the show on season 2. I made a poll about what gift do you think Catherine should give to him, so you can go to my profile and vote or answer for me on the review or pm. I will really appreciate your help.

Oh by the way, I made my first Vincat video, so if you want to check, here is the link. www . youtube watch?v=lkSya5yVJ7M please join the spaces.
