Destiny Part 4 (rated r)

Vincent woke up the following morning still joined with Catherine.  “No not again” feeling himself hardened, needing her and he made love to her.

“Mm Vincent our lovemaking is magical.”  Snuggling closer, “Can you feel it my love?”

“Yes Catherine I feel the magic as well.”

“I have never loved as deeply as I love you Vincent.”  “I love living here with you.”  “I am so happy.”  “I belong here with you’, lightly rubbing his chest.  “Vincent last night I was looking for my clothes but I could not find them.”  “Do you know where they might be?”

Vincent was not sure what to say and hesitated a moment.  “It is probably laundry day (which is was) they may be there.”  “I will check for you later my love.”  “In the meantime, I have something for you to wear and he left the bed.  Going to his dresser he pulled out her neatly folded tunnel dress.  The one she wore while she stayed Below three years ago.

“Oh Vincent you kept this dress, lightly rubbing the fabric.”  “I love this dress.”  “I am so happy you kept it.”  “I will wear it later today.” 

A week has gone by since the incident at the warehouse but Catherine has not yet regained some of her memory.  She still believes she and Vincent are married and expects them to be like every married couple when nighttime comes.  Vincent now looks forward to their holding, cuddling and especially their lovemaking.  He gave up trying to avoid making love to Catherine.  He has needed her in that way for so long.  He had dared not acting upon that need for fear of hurting her.  He knows now he could never hurt her.  He also did not want to force her to make a commitment to a life Below until she was sure that is what she wanted.  She is so happy here.  He feels that happiness throughout their Bond.  Father told him she would regain all of her memory one day when the time was right.  Until than he must consider her his wife in every aspect of the word.  What will happen later once she remembers, they will deal with together.  Right now he could not he happier.  Their dream is now a reality. 

The helpers Above have kept Joe informed of her condition and her safety.  Joe still has nightmares of what almost happened between he and Catherine in the warehouse over a month ago but not as often.  He hopes in time they will go away forever.

Catherine has been Below over a month now. She is content and very very happy.  She and Vincent spend so much time together.  She loves every minute of it.  She thought back four weeks ago when Vincent surprised her with a crystal ring to replace the one she had lost and he  also “ found” her clothes with Peter’s help. She had been extremely tried that day and had taken a nap.  When she woke up she found the basket of clothes Vincent had brought her.  After wearing tunnel clothes, her other ones no longer appealed to her.  Thanking Vincent for finding them but she told him she preferred the ones she had been wearing.  Needless to say Vincent was beside himself with happiness hearing her say that.

Returning to the present, she decided to do their laundry.  All the tunnel woman took turns but they would not let her take her turn until she had fully recovered.  Vincent was working last today so she decided this was the prefect time to wash.  Grabbing their laundry, she headed to the washroom. 

No one was there when she arrived so she took her time sorting them.  She was just about ready to start washing and realized she forgot the detergent.  Scolding herself for being so forgetful, she was not watching where she was going and tripped over the basket hitting the ground face down.

Vincent immediately felt it and ran to her.  When he arrived she was sitting up rubbing her head.  Holding her close, “Catherine are you all right?”

“I am fine Vincent but thank you for coming.”  “I was not watching where I was going and tripped over that basket.”  “Where am I anyway?” 

“Catherine you are in the laundry room.”

“Really” and Vincent helped her to her feet.  “Why did I come here?”

“I guess you were going to wash clothes.”

“”That’s right I was.”  “I have never  washed clothes Below before.” “What made me do it now?”

“Catherine are you sure you are all right you seem different some how?”

“Vincent I am fine really.”  “Have I been Below long?”  “It seems like some time is missing in my life.”  “I remember the stakeout with Joe but after that I cannot remember a thing.”

Suddenly Vincent realized what happened.  Catherine regained her memory but lost the memories of the past month.  Taking her hand he told her “they needed to talk “ and escorted her to their, his chamber.  “Catherine sit down please there are some things you need to know.
