Chapter one: First birthday, the talk, someone to talk to

Steve's POV

We are getting ready for our daughter's first birthday and I can't believe that she is turning one year old. Kono and I are not exactly on talking terms now and I am not happy about it. I walked towards Kono's rental home to pick up the kids.

"Hey I am here to get the kids." I said to her as she gave me an evil look. The kids came running out of the house and towards my truck. "I will see you tomorrow."

I walked back towards my truck and put John in his car seat and Marcy in her booster seat.

"Daddy, why is mommy sad?" Lacey asked me.

"I don't know why mommy is sad." I responded to her as I got into my seat and started up the truck. They head for the zoo and then to the beach.

Kono's POV

I can't believe that Steve and I are going through another fight when we have three kids that need us together again so I decided that I need to make this work. I decided to call Doris and Mary to see if they will watch the kids tomorrow night and they of course agree to it. I started planning the special dinner for me and Steve.

The next morning, I woke up knowing that there might be a small chance that I will get my happiness finally. It's been a long road for us over the years but I knew that we can make it through anything. We just need to make it through this little bump. I get everything ready and text Steve that we need to talk about what is going to happen.

Here's what I wrote "we need to talk about what is going to happen. Our kids are not happy with what's going on." I hit send and wait for an answer from him which came back in a couple of minutes.

I open the text message and read "Your right. We do need to talk. Why don't you call my mom and sister to see if they will watch the kids and we will go out for dinner and talk"

I click the button to reply "alright." I responded as I smiled at the fact that he is trying to make it work between us.

Later that night

Steve's POV

Kono had sent me a text wanting to make it work between us. I would give anything to make it work between us but I need to do what is best for my kids. They need to be put first in our lives. I know that the kids are not happy about what is going on with me and their mother. I get them ready for going to grandma and aunt Mary when I heard a knock on my front door. I open it to find Mary already there.

"Hey Mary, you are here early." I revealed as I give my sister a hug. "Thank you for taking the kids for me and the kids"

"Your welcome. I just hope that you and Kono can work out your problem." She revealed to me.

"I know I hope so too. I just know that I need to do what's best for my kids." I responded to my sister.

"Just find a way to get better between you guys since I have a feeling that the kids don't want to keep traveling between two houses." She responded to me.

"Trust me I know that they hate it and I hate it also. I miss having my family with me at nights." I revealed as Lacey and Marcy come walking down the stairs with their baby brother. I turned my attention back to my kids and say goodbye to them. After they are gone, I head upstairs to get ready for my date with my wife. I can't lie to say that I am actually nervous about this chat that we are about to have.

Date night Kono's POV

I am waiting for Steve to come and get me. I am really nervous about this date night with my husband. We have been separate for about the past three months. He is finally here and walking up to the door. I open the door after he knocks and I watched him smile at me.

"You look amazing." He revealed to me as he compliments on my dress.

"Thanks. You look very handsome." I responded to him

"Are you ready to go?" He asked me.

"Yes." I revealed to him. We had a nice dinner and work everything out and agree to take things slow this time. We got back to my place and we kissed good night which didn't end there because we ended up in bed.

Steve's POV

I knew that this was better to do for the both of us so that way we can work on our marriage and our family. We needed to make sure that we did this right for the kids since they were also going to be affected. The best way that I know how to do it is go to counseling for us to talk through our issues.

Kono's POV

It's time to celebrate our daughter's birthday and that's where my focus is on. I know that Steve wants to do this counseling appointment and I am fine with it but right now I just want to celebrate my daughter's first birthday. I did not hear when my mom walks into the room.

"Hey sweetie, how is everything going? my mom asked me.

"The kids are great in fact we are getting ready for Marcy's first birthday party. I can't believe that my baby girl is turning one and soon my little man is going to tun one too." I revealed as I am trying to turn the attention off my problems with Steve. I am pretty sure that my mom already knows what is going on with me and Steve.

"That's not what I am talking about. I am talking about with you and Steve. What's going on there?" She asked me. I kinda figure that my cousin would be the one to spill the fact that we have marriage issues. I made a mental note to kill him later.

"Mom how did you find out about that?" I asked her.

"I know everything." She responded "Now spill."

"Steve and I are having some issues." I revealed to her.

"Go find him and let's talk them out." She demanded as she practically pushed me out of the chair. I head down the stairs and find him sitting in his office.

"Hey my mom wants to talk to us in our room right now. Chin has the kids so let's go." I revealed to my husband as I watch him stand up.

"Do you know what about?" Steve asked me.

"Something that we are going to have to kill Chin for." I revealed as we walk back up the steps.

Two hours later, my mom leaves our bedroom and we just sit there thinking about what she said. I knew that we need to work on this and so did Steve. We just needed to spend more one on one time together and if that meant taking them to her or Steve's mom's house then we were going to have to do it.

Marcy's Birthday party - Danny's POV

I can't believe that she is turning one years old and she is definitely Steve's child as she is holding on to her mother for dear life. I have noticed that Steve and Kono are finally getting along and I hope that they make it stick this time around.
