I woke up today in London
As the plane was touching down
And all I could think about was Monday
When maybe I'd be back around
If this keeps me away much longer
I don't know what I would do
You got to understand it's a hard life,
that I'm going through

******

Gil wakes up as turbulence shakes the plane. He looks out the window and sees the lights of London below them.

"Ladies and gentlemen as you have noticed we are experiencing some turbulence, but nothing big. We'll be landing in 10 minutes at Heathrow Airport. Please buckle your seatbelts and put your seats back into straight backed position along with putting your trays up." Gil puts his seat up and puts his glasses back on. Soon he's walking out of the airport with his bags and hailing a cab. Once safely inside he opens his cell phone and calls his number one speed dial person. The other end gets picked up and he smiles at the voice that greets him.

"Hey."

"Hey Cath."

"You just land?"

"Yeah I'm in a cab now…How is everything?"

"Fine. Believe it or not."

"Everything?"

"Yes everything."

"And before you ask the other 3 are fine too."

"How'd you know?"

"It's the first time you've been gone since Selene and Camden were born."

"I miss you guys."

"I know baby."

"I've gotta go I'll call you later."

"Okay." Gil hangs up his cell and hands the driver money before getting out and going into the hotel.

And when the night falls in around me
And I don't think I'll make it through
I'll use your light to guide the way
Cause all I think about is you

Catherine picks up the ringing phone on her bedside table not needing to check the caller ID.

"You do know that it's 2 am?"

"Then why do you sound so coherent?"

"You've got me there…I take it you're lonely?"

"I just wish I was there or that you could come out here…"

"I know, but we just can't do it right now." Catherine rubs her upset stomach as the phone rests between her ear and shoulder.

"I miss you."

"I miss you too hon."

"I've gotta go I'll call you later okay?"

"I'll call you."

"Okay."

"Love you."

"Love you back." Catherine hangs up the phone and rolls onto her side grabbing Gil's pillow and holding it close drifts to sleep.

L A is getting kind of crazy
And New York is getting kind of cold
I keep my head from getting lazy
I just can't wait to get back home

******

Gil looks up simultaneously with all the men sitting at his table when a mid height strawberry blonde walks into the restaurant. She was wearing a short black spaghetti strapped dress and a pair of black strappy stiletto heels. Slowly she walks over to their table and Gil smiles at her pulling her into his lap.

"Hello darling."

"Hi."

"What are you doing here? And also I might add wearing a dress that's way too short for public."

"I figured that while in London you shouldn't be so miserable. I talked to my cousin and he got me a very cheap round trip ticket."

"Really?" Gil trails his eyes almost fascinated over her body.

"Yes really and would you quit checking me out the way you are?"

"You're mad because I'm checking you out?"

"I'm not even gonna answer that question." Catherine kisses Gil softly.

"God I missed you so much."

"I missed you too."

******

And all these days I spend away
I'll make up for this I swear
I need your love to hold me up
When it's all too much to bear

******

"Cath?"

"Hmmm?" Catherine rolls onto her side and looks at Gil who's lying in bed next to her.

"Will you be here when I get up?"

"Of course I will." Catherine outlines Gil's face with her finger and smiles softly at him.

"I'll always be where you need me." Gil pulls Catherine closer and she curls her body around his softly stroking his arm.

"Always." Gil strokes Catherine's back and she sighs falling asleep with a death grip on Gil.

"God I love you Cat."

And when the night falls in around me
And I don't think I'll make it through
I'll use your light to guide the way
Cause all I think about is you

Gil wakes up alone in bed and he shoots up looking around the room for Catherine. No clothes on the floor, no bag, no shoes, no noise. He scans the room looking for one thing that would prove everything the night before wasn't a dream, just one tiny thing. Then the door clicks and opens admitting Catherine into the room and she walks in with a platter in her hands. She smiles at Gil and kisses him when she reaches the bed.

"Hey sleepy head."

"You were…then you were…where'd you go?"

"To get breakfast before it was over. You were sleeping like a baby and I didn't wanna wake you up." Catherine hands him a cup of tea and sits on the bed next to him pulling the shield off the platter.

"Where did you think I went?"

"I thought it had all been a dream. You obviously cleaned up."

"I got up a while ago and got bored." Catherine pulls a pancake apart and puts part in his mouth. Gil smiles and laughs after eating the piece.

"Cath?"

"Hmm?"

"We're okay right?"

"Yeah we're fine. Why?"

"I don't know. I was just wondering." Catherine shakes her head and kisses Gil.

"I wonder about you some times Gil."

"I always wonder about you."

******

And all these days I spend away
I'll make up for this I swear
I need your love to hold me up
When it's all too much to bear

******

"Know what?"

"What?"

"I think we can make it apart just fine."

"Yeah, but we're so much better together."

"Here I've got something for you." Catherine takes a box off of the bedside table behind her and hands it to Gil.

"What is it?"

"Something to cheer you up." Gil opens the box and pulls out an envelope.

"Cath?"

"Just open the envelope." Gil opens the envelope and pulls out a black and white picture.

And when the night falls in around me
And I don't think I'll make it through
I'll use your light to guide the way

"Is this what I think it is?"

"Depends on what you think it is." Catherine sends Gil a wry smile and he kisses her lips softly.

"I think this is a picture of our baby."

"Then you're right.

"We're having another baby?"

"Yeah." Catherine lets out a yelp as Gil pushes her back on the bed.

"Do you know how much I love you?"

"Um I think you could show me. Then maybe I'd get the idea."

******

Cause all I think about is you
