-Cat-

Time went on and River and I talked some more and more and became good friends. But something in me wanted more. I'd looked at him and can't help but wonder what it would be like to kiss him.

I found him really attractive and funny. He didn't seem to mind Bambi at all. In fact, he loved her. They would always play games when he was over and she seemed to like him more than me! Bambi would ask for him sometimes which I found cute.

I gave birth to a beautiful baby girl named Lyric and she was an angel. I loved her so much.

We were in my kitchen eating strawberries and chocolate. "Mmm. ." I murmured as I ate another one. He chuckled, before eating one himself. River was a great cook. He was brilliant at baking too.

"You know what would be nice with-"

Lyric cried on the baby monitor. I sighed, placing my strawberry down and looking at him before smiling. "Come on." I led him upstairs and into the room. I picked her up and kissed her cheek and she stopped crying slowly, cuddling against me. I turned to River. "Wanna hold her?" I asked with a smile. He chuckled, glancing at my daughter before nodding.

I walked over and passed her to him carefully. She gurgled a little bit closed her eyes, beginning to sleep.
"She's beautiful, Cat," he murmured, bouncing her a little. I licked my lips, smiling. "Thanks."

I glanced at the clock. "Fudge, I have to go."

"Is it already time?" He asked, surprised and I nodded, smiling. "Yes, I have to go - and so do you, you'll be late for work." He groaned and got ready.

He drove me to the cafe with Lyric and parked in front of it. I bit my lip, looking at him. "I'm scared," I admitted and he gazed into my eyes and took my hand.

My breath hitched and I gazed into his eyes. He rubbed her hand gently and told me softly, "it'll be alright, Cat. Stay strong, okay?" I nodded, my eyes slowly going to his lips.

"Will-Will you pick me up?" I asked, my eyes going from his lips to his eyes. I then noticed that he was looking at my lips too. His eyes moved back to mine and he nodded, smiling softly. "I will. Call me if you need anything." I smiled and he leaned forward to kiss my forehead gently.

I smiled at him before going out of the car and getting Lyric into her pram. "Want me to come in?" River asked me and I shook my head before walking up to him and hugging him briefly. "Thank you."

I turned and pushed Lyric's pram into the cafe. I licked my lips as the door closed behind me and glanced around. My heart hammered against my chest and as I looked, I started to get nervous. I was going to see my family after all.

My eyes fell upon a woman with two teenagers in a booth. I bit my bottom lip, looking at them. They hadn't seen me and were talking amongst themselves.

I licked my lips, gaining some confidence and pushing Lyric's pram as I walked towards them and their eyes saw me coming. I felt warm and scared but I had to push those shaky feelings aside and get on with it.

There was my mother sat opposite my siblings. Her eyes gazed at me and lit up. I bit my lip harder and pulled a chair, bringing it to the table and taking a seat while bringing the pushchair close to me, and putting the brakes on.

"Cat."

I turned my head to see Elena, her face filled with surprise like everyone else's. She had grown so much. She was wearing a checkered shirt with some jeans and some trainers. Her hair was on her shoulders and she had a some makeup on but it was light and looked natural. She looked gorgeous and had freckles, just like me.

"Lena," I said quietly as tears came into her eyes. My eyes slowly went to Max. He had grown a lot too - heck, he was starting to grow facial hair. His hair was messy and he was wearing some dark jeans and trainers. He looked handsome.

I smiled a little at them and Elena suddenly covered her face and I heard her begin to sob. My face softened and I stood, leaning over and hugging them both, kissing their foreheads. They both held onto me tightly, Elena crying and Max's head in my neck. I cuddled them for a while and whispered, "I love both of you and I missed you so much." Tears came into my eyes but I blinked them away, trying to be strong.

"Don't cry," I said quietly and kindly before pulling away and handing Elena a tissue. She smiled weakly, taking it and wiping her eyes.

"C-Cat?" I turned to see my mother. She hadn't changed that much but had a few more wrinkles. She still looked beautiful as ever. I walked over and hugged her, not hesitating. She started to cry and I kissed her temple, hugging her tightly.

"I'm so sorry," she cried and I shook my head, inhaling her sweet scent. "Don't be. It wasn't your fault." She kissed my cheek, continuing to cry. "I should've fought harder-"

"No," I sternly said, pulling away and looking into her eyes. "You couldn't have. I love you, mama and I missed you so much." She wiped her eyes, sniffing. "I missed you too, Caterina and I love you, my dear." I smiled, wiping my teary eyes.

"Look at you," she said with a smile, her eyes scanning my body. "You've grown so much and you look so beautiful, my daughter." I smiled, chuckling a little. "Thanks."

I sat back down and handed Elena another tissue. She smiled again, wiping her cheeks and sniffing.

"H-How've you been?" My mother asked and I shrugged a little with a smile. "Alright. .I guess. You?"

"The same," she replied before wiping her eyes. "I missed you and thought of you everyday, Cat. I looked and looked-"

I shook my head, interrupting her. "It's okay. I'm here now and thank you for not giving up." She smiled softly and I licked my lips. "Hey, wanna see my baby?" I asked but turned and picked Lyric up anyway.

She was awake and I held her to my chest, kissing her cheek and holding her close as she cooed a little, her bright eyes gazing into mine. I held her small hand, smiling softly.

"She's beautiful," Elena told me as my mother wiped her eyes, smiling. "She's so small," my mother said with a smile as she watched Lyric wriggle slowly in my arms, trying to get a good position.

"I-I thought she'd be older," Max told me shyly, his cheeks going red a little. I chuckled at him but nodded, "this is my second."

"Second?" Elena asked, confused a little. I nodded, looking into Lyric's eyes. "I was . . I was attacked again by the same guy."

I heard my mother gasp and let out a sob as Elena stared at me wide eyed. I licked my lips, exhaling before looking at them and shaking my head. "No, it's fine. I mean, he's dead now," I looked at Elena and chuckled, "don't look so scared, Lena. I didn't kill him. It's a long story."

Max's face hardened, "how could you let him do that to you, Cat?" I gazed at him. He was just upset and concerned. "You don't let it happen, Max, you know that. It's alright," I told him with a soft smile. "I have two beautiful girls, Bambi and Lyric. That's the only good coming from this and I love them. It's alright."

He nodded before smiling a little, "Why such unusual names?" I shrugged a little, chuckling. "Bambi? Aww, it's sweet and Italian-"

Max snorted and I rolled my eyes, smiling as we both looked at each other playfully.

"As for Lyric? I don't know. I put headphones on my stomach and she kicked to the beat of the music for a short moment, so I called her Lyric. I didn't want normal names."

He nodded and my mother looked at me hopefully. "Can I hold her?" I nodded, slowly handing my daughter to my mother. She smiled, hugging her and kissing her cheek. "She looks like you, Cat." I smiled at her, "thank God."

I licked my lips, looking down and fiddling with the hem of my shirt. "Hey, um. .whatever happen to D-Diego?"

There was a moment of silence until my mother spoke. "I wouldn't know since I haven't spoken to him in years." My head shot up and I looked at her in surprise. "You divorced?" She nodded, adjusting Lyric a little. "Yeah. .I couldn't be with someone who kicked my daughter out and hit me." My face softened and she chuckled, "you know he's broke right now?"

My eyebrows shot up in surprise. "Really?" She nodded, "broke, broke, broke."

"How are you all doing?" I asked, glancing at all of them. Max shrugged, "fine and rich. Happy now that you're back." I smiled at him, feeling happy too. "I'm still a lawyer," my mother told me.

The door of the cafe opened but this time, River came in, his uniform making him look ten times hotter. I blushed a little and smiled, noticing that Bambi was on his shoulders.

"Mama!" She exclaimed as she noticed me and I chuckled, smiling and waving at them. He put her down and she ran to me. I scooped her up while sitting, hugging her and letting her sit on my lap. "You okay?" I asked her, kissing her cheek and she nodded, resting her head on my chest.

Elena cooed a little, waving at Bambi. "Aww, is this Bambi? She's adorable, Cat." I smiled, kissing Bambi's forehead and nodding. "Yeah, this is Bambi." River came over and I smiled. "This is River, everyone, my friend." They all greeted each other and shook hands, saying that it was nice to meet them.

We talked and talked and talked, and eventually, I had to go home.

I kept their contacts and told them that I'd meet up soon. It was hard but we couldn't be together every second of every day. I did miss them but I was happy I got to see them again and hoped to see them soon.

River dropped us home and the kids were asleep upstairs while we were watching a movie in the living room.

We were laughing at a joke we both made and I stopped slowly. I found myself gazing into his eyes and he gazed into mine.

"Cat?"

"Mmhmm. ." I murmured, smiling softly.

"I wanna kiss you."

"Go ahead."

Then he crashed his lips onto mine, I moved closer, kissing him back and placing my hand on his cheek. It was soft and sweet, and I really enjoyed it. He then moved away and said, "I really like you, Cat." I chuckled softly and nodded, blushing a little. "I really like you too." Then I moved closer and kissed him again.

/How their first time together went\

I took off my beautiful wedding dress and placed it into the gown bag before putting it into the wardrobe carefully.

I then slipped on my pjs and walked to the living room.

I had just gotten married. It was a small and beautiful service with a short party. We weren't looking for anything too big for our wedding. I loved every second of it and was happy to be married to such a funny and handsome man. We were on our first day of our honeymoon, straight after the wedding. Bambi and Lyric were with Mia so it was just me and River.

I opened the door to see him on the expensive sofa with popcorn on the table and the movie on pause. I smiled, closing the door and going over. "Hey gorgeous," he said as I sat down and kissed my cheek. I smiled, laying down and placing my head on his lap.

We talked a little and then I realised something.

What if he wants sex?

It is a honeymoon after all. .

I sat up and looked at him before grabbing the remote and pressing pause. He looked at me in slight confusion before I straddled him.

"Cat. .what are you doing?" He asked in a playful yet uncertain tone. I pressed my lips against his and kissed him intensely, pressing my body against his.

I moaned softly, my hips moving in a certain way but then he stopped me, pulling away and gazing into my eyes. "What are we doing?" I flicked my hair over my shoulder, "it's a honeymoon."

"So?" He asked, a little confused. I sighed, pulling my shorts up higher so it hugged my curves. "So we should be having sex."

"Sex?" He asked, in a weird tone. I rolled my eyes, nodding. "Yeah."
"Cat, you don't want sex yet and neither do I."

"Then why are you hard?" I asked and we both looked down to see his large bulge. I covered my mouth, chuckling a little and looking back into his eyes.

"Cat. ."

"River, it's fine. I'm ready-"

"I think I'm going to take a shower," he told me, his eyes going to his crotch and back to my face. I went off him and chuckled as he stood, walking slowly to the door.

"Have fun jerking off," I playfully said with a wink as I laid down on the couch. He looked at me and rolled his eyes, "I'm not going to-"

"Yes you are," I interrupted with a smile. He opened his mouth to speak and I stopped him, "Don't deny it. Off you go." He rolled his eyes.

"Hey, River?" I asked as he stopped in front of the door. "Are you a virgin?" He licked his lips, his eyes on my face. I raised an eyebrow and he shook his head. "Lost it when I was sixteen in an alley." I stared at him in surprise and he laughed, opening the door. "It's a long story." He left the room, leaving me shocked and feeling awkward.

The television was off and he had showered and got changed. I left the kitchen after drinking some water and went upstairs.

I walked in to see him on the bed on his phone. I smiled, closing the door and going to the dresser. Underneath my shirt, I took off my bra and slipped it out, putting it into the dresser.

I then walked over to the bed and went under the covers sitting down. He put his phone on the side and pulled me close, kissing me. I went on top of him and he placed his hands on my hips.

After some time of kissing, I pulled away and gazed into his eyes. I pecked his lips before saying, "goodnight, my husband." I smiled and he did the same, pecking my lips once more before letting me roll off him and turn off the lamp. He turned off his and the room was dark.

River wrapped his arms around me, my back to his chest. I felt safe and comfortable. I exhaled before noticing the tingly feeling between my thighs.

Crap, I'm wet. .

What do I do?

I licked my lips and turned slowly so I was facing River. He opened his eyes and locked them with mine. "Hello," he whispered with a smile. "I'm. ." I hesitated before saying, "I'm wet and I want sex."

"Jumped right in there, huh?" He said with a chuckle. I groaned a little, sliding my leg between his. "River, do you not want to?" I asked, moving closer.

He shook his head, "I do, trust me, I seriously do want to. But I want you to be certain that you're ready." I pecked his lips, placing my hand on his shoulder. "I am. I really am." He hesitated and I gave him a hopeful and reassuring look. He pecked my lips before turning on the lamp.

He then moved me so I was under him and he was on top. I bit my bottom lip, trying to contain the excitement in me. "You okay with this position?" He asked me and I nodded, gazing at him.

He leaned down and kissing me and I placed my hands on his cheeks, kissing him back.

I spread my legs a little so he was between them and moaned as his hand slowly went down my body and between my legs, rubbing the damp fabric of my shorts.

His hands roamed my body and slid up to my breasts, cupping them and squeezing them gently. I moaned, my chest arching up a little. He kissed my neck, his hands squeezing my butt cheeks and our pelvises pressed against each other.

His hands went to my shorts and slowly pulled them down and off as we kissed. I was left in my underwear but he pulled them off and his hands ran up and down my thighs, tingling me. He squeezed them and his hands got closer and closer to my womanhood.

I moaned as his fingers finally touched me. My hips bucked towards him as his finger slid up and down between my wet folds, teasing me.

"River. ." I moaned against his lips, wanting more. He pulled away and I helped him take off his trousers and boxers so his member was on view. He was large. Really large.

I bit my lip, looking at him. He started to slide himself between my folds, teasing me again.

Then my eyes started to go teary and I laid my head back, covering them and he stopped. "Cat?"

"No, no, I'm fine," I reassured him, sniffing a little. "I'm just. .what if it hurts?" I remembered the pain I once had and didn't want to go through that's again.

He moved my hands away and kissed me before saying, "it will hurt at first. .but not badly. I'll go soft but if it hurts too bad, just tell me and I'll stop." I nodded before taking off his shirt and pulling him down so he was kissing me.

I felt the head near my entrance and it slowly went in. I gasped and River groaned, his head in my neck. "Can I go in more?"

"Please," I managed to say and he pushed himself in further and I gasped, a little pain in me. "Can I move?"

"Stop asking," I said with a smile although I felt a little nervous. "Go."

He pushed himself in me more and I bit my bottom lip, bad memories coming in my head but I pushed them away, wanting to enjoy the moment. I spread my legs a little more and he started gently pushing himself backwards and forwards in my wet self.

I moaned a little, some pleasure in me but I wanted more. "Please, baby, harder," I moaned, and he obeyed, thrusting himself in me harder. I squeezed my eyes closed, pleasure in me. It felt really good. He kept his pace then I asked him to go faster, quicker and he did.

I moaned loudly as he hit the right spot, going faster in me and rougher. I was moaning uncontrollably, feeling good and enjoying it. My hands went to his shoulders and slid to his back, digging my nails in. I moaned his name, my breasts bouncing under my shirt and our bodies slapping against each other.

We were reaching our peak and we did, together. I cried out, moaning loudly as he and I released together in me. He pushed himself further in me, groaning a little as my legs shook.

We stayed in that position for a little while before he pulled out of me and I moaned. He kissed me lovingly before grabbing his shorts on the floor and wearing them. I grabbed my underwear and slipped it on before he kissed me again.

We made out for a while before he pulled away and I told him, "I loved it." He smiled, kissing me softly before replying, "I loved it too." I smiled, caressing his cheek. "I'm not scared anymore," I truthfully told him, my hand on his cheek and his hand on my hip. He squeezed it gently before replying, "Good. You're a strong woman, Cat and I love you."

I smiled and kissed him before abruptly pulling away and telling him, "you didn't wear a condom." He shook his head and I chuckled, "well I didn't take a pill." His eyes widened and I laughed, kissing his cheek.

"It's fine, unless you don't want a baby - Well, depends if it happens."

"I do. .do you?" He asked uncertain and I nodded with a smile. "I don't mind." He smiled and kissed me lovingly. "Guess we'll find out if there's another one on the way."

/And that's how Chance, their son, came along\
