I was born in the heart of a hurricane season
In the house where my mamma was raised
That old September wind feels just like a long lost friend
And I...

Catherine runs down the beach from Gil as he runs after her. She trips and falls onto her back as he catches up standing over her," Hi"

"Hi," he straddles her and she smiles running her hands up his chest," I wish we were near the woods I feel like running in the woods"

"Into a cabin, as it rains outside and make love all night"

"Yeah that sounds good do you know a place?"

"No not at the moment, but I'll see about finding one," he leans down and kisses her. They were on a secluded beach where no one was about. Gil's cabin was a few yards away. She pulls him closer deepening the kiss.

*********

I want to run though those cottonwood trees
Fall asleep in a big bed of fresh fallen leaves
And in every wind that blows there's a song of letting go
It's not goodbye, it's hello

*********

The wind blows around them and he pulls back making her look up at him the blue summer sky behind him. She smiles and starts unbuttoning his shirt. He stops her by grabbing her wrists and she looks up at him confused," Let's get inside I think we can recreate our first time?"

"You do?"

"I have just the stuff," he helps her up tickling her sides getting her to run to the cabin. Following her he unlocks the door and she smiles going inside walking backwards. He takes her back to the bedroom and she smiles devilishly at the pile of leaves on the floor," We're going to have hell cleaning that up"

"Vacuums honey. And there's a sheet under it," he lays her down softly on them and she strokes his cheek and pulls him down for a kiss.

**********

We met underneath the blue skies of summer
And those summer skies turn into fall
That sweet September wind made us so muse more than friends
One Night...

**********

"You know last year in Sept. after our first time I could not stop thinking about you and me and the night we made love. It was everything I ever wanted and it was *sooooo* good," she finishes unbuttoning his shirt and pushes his shirt off of his shoulders," Your abs are so defined, your biceps and triceps too. So strong yet so soft and caring," she starts kissing his chest and he pulls off her t shirt," So nice and slow, and you were so big and hard," she kisses his jaw up to his ear," So deep. Do you know how deep?"

"How deep," truth was he did know how deep he went. He probed her cerix and the tip of his member had entered her womb," No man has ever gone that deep"

"Good," he slides her shorts off as she does his," Do you ever wear underwear"

"Not when I know this is going to happen," she pulls his boxers off and allows his finger to probe her.

****************

And we ran though those cottonwood trees
We made love in a big bed of fresh fallen leaves
In every wind that blows there's an innocence that knows
It's not goodbye, it's hello

***************

She arches her back as he slides slowly into her," Gil....oh god," nipping at her neck they start moving slowly. She sinks her nails into the back of his neck pulling herself upwards. He moves harder and faster as she moans loudly. He sucks on her breasts as the coil inside her bursts and she cries out forcing him over the edge. They relax and Gil play's with Catherine's nipple," Would you not do that?"

"Nope," she laughs and he kisses her," Love you"

"Love you too," she smiles and takes his hand. They stand up and Catherine pulls a tshirt out of the drawer sliding it over her slim form handing him his boxers letting him put them on before pulling him onto the bed and covering them with the comforter," What are you thinking about?"

"The wedding. We're getting married in 3 weeks"

"Mmhm"

"And we're going to spend the rest of our lives together, with Linds and any kids we have if we're blessed with them. And how much I love you," he tickles her sides and she squeals," I love you"

"Love you too," he starts kissing her neck and she knots her hand in his curls.

***************

In the moment that one thing ends
Is the same time that one begins
And return as we must
We are ashes to dust, amen.

**************

His hands slide under the shirt and she moans a bit," God"

"You taste sooo good"

"I'm pregnant"

"It is unbelieveable how good you taste the......what did you say?"

"I'm pregnant"

"Did you just say you're pregnant?"

"Yup.....the night you had your heartattack you kinda came a bit before it really happened...."

"You're pregnant?"

"Mmhm"

"With our baby?"

"Yeah. Hon aren't you happy? I thought you wanted kids?"

"It's just kind of soon," she pushes him off of her," Gil what the hell. I thought that you wanted kids"

"I do it's just isn't this a bit soon we aren't even married yet?"

"I can't believe you," she climbs out of bed and puts on her shorts running out of the cabin as he calls for her.

***************

When the days of my youth have all faded
And the memories are all that remain
Let that old September wind take me back to where I've been
So I...

**************

Catherine runs across the beach to the car and presses the code to get in. After the doors unlock she grabs the key from under the floor mat. Starting the car she drives away back into Vegas. Pulling up to the house she opens the car door and goes around back opening the sliding door locking it behind her. Lindsey comes out of the kitchen and Catherine wipes the tears away," Mom what are you doing home? I thought you were with dad"

"I was he's out at the cabin. I'm gonna take a shower why don't you make some coffee okay?"

"Sure," Catherine starts walking away to take her shower and she turns back to Lindsey," Make the coffee tea"

"Okay," Catherine takes her shower and goes back to the kitchen in her robe. Gil's sitting at the table instead of Lindsey and she's no where to be found," The thing is you take long showers"

"Where is my daughter?"

"*Our* daughter is at Jesse's house"

"We aren't married yet and you haven't signed the adoption papers"

"I've raised her just as much as you have over the past 2 years," he stands up and she puts her hands on her hips," Where were you for the other 11 years she needed her father?"

"Trying to stay away from the one she thought was her father," her hand comes acrosss his face and he moves his hand to the red mark," Don't you ever use Eddie as an excuse to not see your daughter. And another thing get the fuck out," she turns away from him and walks to her bedroom not knowing he was on her tail. She opens her closet doors and he grabs her wrist spinning her to look at him," First, that hurt alot. Second, You slap me too much. Third, Catherine I never said I didn't want the baby.....to me it just seems soon. I figured it would be a few months before you got pregnant or we even started trying"

"Promise"

"Promise. I want that baby Catherine no matter what," she looks up into his eyes and hers slide shut," Do you want our baby because you want it or because I'm pregnant?"

"I want the baby because I want it more than anything in the world," he kisses her and her tears break free. Afraid he said something wrong he tilt's her chin up so she's looking at him," What is it?"

"Nothing. That's the sweetest thing anyone's ever said to me," they sit on the bed and she leans into him," I'm fat already"

"What are you talking about you look perfect?"

"Before I got pregnant I weighed 104 now I weigh 125"

"You do not"

"Yeah I do.....in 12 weeks I've gained 21 lbs and you don't notice?"

"No because you're perfect no matter how much you weigh," she laughs and kisses him," Love you"

"Love you too," he puts a hand on her stomach and she covers it," Guess what?"

"What?"

"We still got 6 more months and this baby ain't goin no where except through the birth canal," he laughs and kisses her stomach," I love you baby"

"And I'm sure the baby loves you"

"It better"

************

I can run through those cottonwood trees
And remember the smell of those fresh fallen leaves
Now in every whind that blows there's a part of me that knows
It's not goodbye, it's hello
