I don't own Diagnosis Murder or any of its characters.
She walked in with a bewildered look on her face, every man within the station turned to stare. She had long, wavy brown hair and a sun-kissed complexion she wore a black mini skirt with a white blouse. She focused in on Steve a smile spread across her face, she walked right up to his desk.
"Captain Neuman?" She asked for.
"He's not here I'm Lieutenant Steve Sloan, I'm in charge for now you could say." He gestured for her to have a seat and outstretched his hand.
"Cheyenne Walker." She returned the handshake.
"Cheyenne Walker that's quite a name." She beamed back.
"I have a little Cheyenne Indian in me, and when my family adopted me they decided to name me Cheyenne to keep my heritage alive and Walker was their name." Steve smiled back.
"Well is there anything I can help you with." Cheyenne just smiled back.
"Captain Neuman is my uncle I just moved to Los Angeles from Dallas, I was hoping to catch him at his office and go out to lunch." Steve glanced at his watch.
"Well Captain Neuman won't be back for a couple of hours, and it just so has to be my lunch break." Cheyenne let out a giggle.
"Oh it is, is it?" She smiled. Two hours later they were finishing up lunch at BBQ Bob's.
"The food was excellent I can't believe you own the place." Cheyenne commented as she began to clean.
"Oh don't bother with that." Steve offered he then personally took their dishes back. "I best get going why don't you give me a call." She handed Steve a slip of paper with her home phone and cell phone number on it then slipped out the door.
They continued to see one another on practically a daily basis, seven months later Steve is on the beach talking to his dad.
"Dad I know it has only been seven months, but Cheyenne just seems like the one she is so stunning, she's smart, funny, and beautiful." Steve smiled just at the thought of her.
"You must really love her, I admit you've acted a little different ever since you started going out with her and she does seem like a special lady." Mark added his hands stuffed in his sweatshirt pockets as he stared at the surf.
"I know Dad, I'm crazy about her I've never been in love with anyone like this before. Do you think it's too soon to pop the question?" Steve looked at his father for approval.
"That up to you Steve and whatever you decide I support you a hundred percent. You just have to ask yourself these questions… Do you honestly love her, and are you willing to make a life long commitment." Mark then turned back to the house, he patted his son on the shoulder and left him to straighten his thoughts.
The next night Steve took Cheyenne to one of the best four star restaurants in Los Angeles compliments of Steve's dad. Cheyenne was in a long, black dress with spaghetti straps that crisscrossed in the back and she had pulled her hair back in a ponytail curling the tips. Steve fumbled with one of the buttons on his jacket all night, anticipating his next move. After the waiter had poured them a second glass of champagne was when Steve had built up the nerve. He kneeled right beside Cheyenne not expecting him Cheyenne shot Steve several concerned looks he then pulled the out the ring out of his pocket and Cheyenne gasped.
"Cheyenne Walker I have loved you ever since the moment you stepped into my world, and I want to cherish this feeling for the rest of my life. Cheyenne will you marry me?" Several women held their breath as they sat and waited for Cheyenne's response. Tears built up in Cheyenne's eyes and she burst into her greatest smile, the one she had when she was really tickled by something.
"Yes, yes!" She cried. Steve then picked her up and hugged her. The observers then broke into tears and began clapping.
ONE YEAR AND NINE MONTHS LATER
Cheyenne rolled over to face her husband he was lying there staring at her.
"How long have you been watching me?"
"Not long 1, 2 hours maybe." He smiled, Cheyenne returned the smile she then felt a little kick inside her.
"Oh." She squealed in delight, she then took Steve's hand and rested it on her stomach.
"Feel that? Feel the babies kicking?" Cheyenne was nine months pregnant with twins. The baby gave another kick. Steve smiled, and gave his wife a kiss.
"Sure do." Steve then sat up. "I got to go to work." Cheyenne frowned she stood up to follow him.
"I wish you didn't I know you love being a cop, but with the babies coming so soon, I just worry to much." Steve removed his badge and gun from the drawer.
"I promise I'll be careful now you don't worry yourself you know your doctor said that stress is not good for you or the babies." Cheyenne nodded.
"Just be careful."
"I promise."
"And if…"
"And if anything does happen I'll make sure Jesse or Dad tells you, but don't you worry the only thing you should concern yourself over right now is what type of wallpaper you want me to border the nursery with." Cheyenne gave him a kiss on the cheek as he stepped out the door.
"Love you!" She called after him.
"Love you too, I'm getting off early tonight, but don't bother with dinner I'll swing by BBQ Bob's and grab us something." Cheyenne had been craving BBQ throughout her pregnancy.
Steve arrived at work several case files were already piled on his desk.
"Lovely." Steve commented and he sat down to get to work.
Cheyenne was at home curled up on the couch wearing capris and a t-shirt she sat reading her favorite book and sipping at some raspberry ice tea.
"Hello!" Amanda called as she slipped in, the sound of grocery bag crinkling could be heard. "Hope you don't mind I brought some groceries some healthy snacks for you and your babies." Cheyenne laughed Amanda had been looking out for Cheyenne's health ever since she announced that she was pregnant.
Steve had just started working when he was ordered into Captain Neuman's office. When Steve walked in Captain Neuman gestured for him to shut the door.
"How is my niece?" Was his first question.
"Anxious, sir." Captain Neuman laughed and leaned back in his chair.
"That's Cheyenne for you. Unfortunately that's not what I called you in for. As you know Lieutenant Daniel was killed after being exposed as an under cover cop. That means I need you to bring down the Tao Gang." Steve nodded in agreement.
"You can count on me sir." Two hours later Steve was cocking his gun he gestured for his team to get in position, he then kicked down the door.
"Police freeze!" The Tao gang though was not going to easily give in they quickly returned fire. A bullet grazed Steve he grimaced in pain, and dropped behind a box he quickly took out two members, an officer dropped beside him.
"Lieutenant are you ok."
"I'm fine for now, but it wouldn't hurt to call an ambulance."
