**I DO NOT OWN THIS SHOW OR THE CHARACTERS IN THE SHOW, I AM JUST BORROWING THEM**

-Tess' Apartment-

What have I done? Maybe I should call him? Why hasn't he called me? Maybe I should go and see him? What is wrong with me? You're overreacting, he deserved to hear how you feel. What am I going to do?

Catherine snapped out of her mind when she heard Tess calling her to the kitchen. As Catherine entered the kitchen, Vincent was standing there.

"Vincent." Catherine said in a whisper.

"I'll just leave you two alone. But no funny business." Tess said sarcastically as she exited the apartment.

Catherine looked up at Vincent as he turned back towards her from watching the door close behind Tess. Catherine sighed then she finally broke the awkward silence between them as she began to apologize, "Vincent…."

"Catherine…" he said interrupting Catherine.

She then barked out, "No….let me finish, please. I'm sorry for how I acted earlier. I don't know what came over me. I have worked so hard to plan this wedding….and it felt like all of it was being took away from me."

"Catherine….."

"Why does everything bad have to happen to me?..…to us? I just don't understand. Every time things begin to go great for us, something bad happens…it's almost like the world is against us. It angered me to think that this wedding….OUR wedding was going to be put off. You know that I wanted to be married before the baby was born and we have only a matter of months to go. But I overreacted Vincent, I should have never of said what I had said to you….and I'm truly sorry if I hurt you."

Vincent looked away briefly, then back to Catherine as he said, "Catherine, I only want what is best for you. You know this. You were right, I should trust you when you say you are able to go through with the wedding and I'm sorry for doubting you. I shouldn't make those decisions for you, but not only do I worry about you, but the baby too. I don't want you to stress or over do anything. I know you worked hard for the wedding honey, but you were attacked and I just wish you would just rest and see if it helps. It would be just as upsetting for me as it would be for you if we had to reschedule it."

Catherine got to thinking and realized that she had forgotten to set up the honeymoon. She had it on the to-do list but with everything going on, she just forgot. "Shit!" she screamed out as she ran both of her hands through her hair.

"What is it Catherine?"

Catherine then looked up at Vincent then said, "I forgot to set up the honeymoon. How could I forget?"

Vincent walked closer to Catherine then he looked down towards the pocket on his jacket. He then reached in it and pulled out plane tickets and smiled.

Catherine looked down at the tickets then back up to Vincent, "What is this?"

Vincent laid the tickets on the table next to them and then wrapped his arms around Catherine as he said, "I know that you have been really busy lately so I reserved us a resort house out in Spain completely out by itself and these are our tickets to get there. I hope it's okay with you…."

"Vincent…how did you pay for this? I'm sure it was expens…."

Vincent cut her off, "Don't worry about it. Just know that it's been took care of and I plan for it to be as romantic for you as it will be for me." Vincent bent down to kiss Catherine then pulled back up to continue, "So what do you say? Cause I would hate to have to go alone."

Catherine let out a laugh then said, "Okay…I'll go. But only so you don't have to go alone." She let out another laugh, then pulled Vincent down to kiss her.

Vincent then pulled back and said while smiling, "So it's a truce?"

"Yes."

He then kissed Catherine again then asked, "So does this mean we have benefits to making up? I have a pretty good idea on how we can do that if you want to get out of here?"

Catherine smiled and kissed Vincent on the cheek then ran for the door as she said, "I'm driving!"

Vincent let out a laugh, then he ran out the door behind her.

-Wedding Day – Catherine's Apartment-

Catherine woke up to her window being open. She noticed as the curtains moved in a certain direction that there was a folded piece of paper. She got out of the bed and went over to the window and looked out to find nobody was there then she shut the window. As she picked up the note she smiled knowing who had left it there then she opened it and read, 'Alter'. She then folded the note back and thought out loud, "Vincent Keller, you are truly something else."

A knock at the door gripped her attention and she ran to the door and opened it to Brooke, Heather, and Tess.

"Hey!" Catherine shrieked as she hugged Brooke.

"Hey to you too!" giggled out Brooke.

The girls entered the apartment and they all began to prepare for the wedding. Catherine slipped on a pair of dressy looking jeans with a white t-shirt with lace on the upper back area.

"Hey Cat, I brought you one of mom's necklaces that I think you should wear. It will pop out with that white dress you bought." said Heather excitedly.

Catherine gasped when she saw it. It was a green emerald the shape of a tear drop inside a silver frame on a silver chain. It would definitely stand out.

"Thanks Heather. It's beautiful!"

Heather hooked it around Catherine's neck then Catherine put her silver dangly earrings in to match it with the necklace.

Brooke then pulled out her curling iron and hair spray and Catherine sat down for Brooke to begin fixing her hair.

"So how does it feel getting ready to be Mrs. Catherine Keller?" asked Tess. "You nervous?"

Catherine sighed then smiled and said, "More than you know. I mean…am I supposed to feel this nervous? I have been around Vincent for so long now that it seems I shouldn't be nervous."

"Oh, honey….it's perfectly normal to get the flutters in your stomach before walking down the aisle. I did with your dad. I know exactly what you mean. But it's a good thing." claimed Brooke as she curled another section of Catherine's hair.

"So, feeling like I'm about to vomit is a good thing?" asked Catherine.

"Yes!" said Brooke, now letting out a laugh. "You're in love darling, and its showing. The man still gives you butterflies so he must be doing something right to make you feel that way. And as far as the crowd…you won't even pay attention to them. Your eyes will be locked with his as you walk closer and closer to him."

Catherine smiled and felt even more nervous than before. She took a deep breath and sighed.

"Wah-lah! You're finished. I hope you like it." said Brooke as she went to grab a hand mirror for Catherine to look for herself.

"Oh my God, Brooke! It looks fantastic!" claimed Catherine.

"Aww, Cat! You look beautiful" shouted Heather.

"You look amazing Cat!" said Tess.

Catherine and the girls finished getting ready. Catherine packed her suitcase for the honeymoon. Tess came in and sat down on Catherine's bed.

"Are you really ready for this? I am more than glad to grab some champaign and we could take the plane tickets and run together." Tess said jokingly then let out a laugh.

Catherine laughed then hugged Tess. "I think I am more than ready for this. We never really thought that this could be in our lives and it's finally happening. I love him, Tess…..I'm going to really enjoy this time alone with him."

Tess took a deep sigh, "Let's go Mrs. Keller."

Catherine smiled as she stood up and grabbed her wedding dress and suitcase and headed out the door with the others.

-House Boat-

"JT! Where is my tie? I can't believe I lost my tie!" shouted Vincent as he continued to search for black tie. "I know it's here somewhere."

JT grabbed Vincent by the shoulders and shook him, "V, you need to calm down buddy. It's just a tie. I'm sure I have an extra one at my place that you can wear."

"Yeah….I guess I could tone it down a little. It's just that….I'm nervous." retorted Vincent in a sigh.

JT shook his head, "You? Nervous?...super soldier Vincent Keller is nervous?"

Vincent laughed slightly as he replied, "Yes, JT. I'm nervous. And don't call me a super soldier…..that's in my past and I would like to leave it there. I'm not proud of killing other beasts cause they were people too….just like me."

"Easy there. I was just kidding big guy. You're probably just nervous because this is the beginning of the rest of your life with Catherine and the reality of it is just now hitting you. You are going to be fine. It's just the wedding jitters is all." JT said, patting Vincent on the back.

Vincent looked over towards the couch and noticed a black fabric poking out from under the cushion. He walked over to the couch and pulled the fabric to reveal his tie. He looked back at JT and smiled, "Found it."

JT walked over to help Vincent tie his tie. As he finished Vincent ran upstairs to grab his duffle bag for the honeymoon trip then ran downstairs as he said, "I'm ready. Let's go."

-Chapel-

Catherine rushed to put her dress on, "Heather…zip me up please." she told Heather then she walked over to Brooke to put in her veil.

She rushed over to the mirror and turned her body from left to right, right to left. She took a deep sigh and turned towards Brooke, Heather, and Tess. The girls shrilled out their awes then group hugged Catherine. Tess motioned for Catherine's left leg and put Catherine's garter on her. "You can pull it up the rest of the way. I'm not going there." Tess said then laughed.

"Oh here. You can borrow my perfume. It's MissDior Cherie. It has a sweet strawberry smell. It represents love and romance." said Brooke as she sprayed Catherine's wrist with it.

"It smells really good, Brooke. Thank you!" Catherine said as she rubbed her wrists together and then rubbed her wrist on her neck.

"Now here's your bouquet. You look truly amazing Cat. We love you. But it's time to go out there and say your I Do's." Heather said as she reached to hug Catherine and then kissed her on her cheek.

Catherine began holding her stomach for it began to go into knots, plus the baby was moving around a lot.

"Cat, you okay?" asked Tess.

Catherine took a minute, then sat down. "I'm fine. Just nerves."

Heather went to grab Catherine a bottle of water as there was a knock at the door. "Hey. It's me…JT. Are you all ready? All of the guests are ready."

Catherine thought for a minute, then asked, "How is Vincent?"

"He's nervous. But he will be fine." JT said.

"We're coming!" yelled Tess.

"Alright." retorted JT.

Tess turned towards Catherine then asked, "Are you sure that you're okay?"

"Yes, Tess. I'll be fine. I'm ready."

Catherine took another deep breath, then she stood and took her bouquet.
