Hello everyone, this is another version of Catherine's return to the island. Hope you like it.

-Mcgarrett!

-Hey, Steve. I hate to bother you on your day off, but Can you get Charlie in school?

I'm at a meeting at Gracie's school and I can not get there in time.

-Ok, Danny! I'll get it, no problem. I'm not doing anything important.

-Ok, thank you, Steve.

-Eddie, come here, let's go out, buddy.

Steve was waiting for Charlie at the school gate. When the children started to leave, Charlie came running to Steve, along with a little friend. Charlie hugged Steve.

-Hey, Uncle Steve.

-Hey, I came to pick you up today, buddy.

The other boy also ran with arms outstretched.

-Mom!

- Hey, How was your first day of school?

Steve froze. He would recognize that voice anywhere in the world. He turned and saw her.

-Cath!

-Hey, sailor!

Steve looked at the boy. "Steve, this is Ethan. Ethan, this is my ... friend ... Steve. Say hello.

"Hi," Ethan said, holding out his hand.

-Hi, Ethan. Steve said shaking the boy's hand. How old are you?

"Four years," Ethan said.

"And you, little boy, what's your name?" asked Catherine.

- I'm Charlie.

"Charlie?" your father is Danny?

-Yes.

So, tell your father that Catherine said hello, okay?

"-Ok." Uncle Steve, can I go to the playground? "Asked Charlie.

"Just a few minutes." Go.

"I can go, too, mother?

Yeah, Ethan. Just a little.

Ethan and Charlie ran to play in the playground.

-Mom? Who is this boy Catherine?

"It's my son, Steve.

-No, it is not. Four years ago we were together and you were not pregnant. .. wait a moment ... you got pregnant and had the boy in Afghanistan and hid it from me?

"Of course not Steve I would never do such a thing to you. Ethan is my son because I adopted him. Ethan is a war orphan, Steve. I found him sick, malnourished, almost near death. I took him to the hospital, I took care of him and adopted him.

-He looks like me. "

" Yes. He has your eyes, Steve. I think that's what made me fall in love with him, the moment I saw him ... sorry ... I should not have said that ...

"And you're back in Hawaii?" How can you adopt a child working for the CIA?

"I broke up with the CIA, Steve. I went back to where I should never have left.

"Ok ..." Steve said thoughtfully.

"How's Lynn?" asked Cath, with sadness in his eyes.

-It's ok. And where are you living?

-In the same place. I kept the house.

-Ok. I never knew you wanted to adopt a child.

"I wanted to have my own son, Steve. But I guess I never gave myself that chance. So Ethan has appeared in my life and I already love him very much.

Steve just shook his head and said nothing.

I have to go , Ethan, Charlie, come on!

"I can leave you at home, Catherine.

"That would be great, Steve. My car is in the garage, stopped for a long time.

Steve opened the car door and Eddie barked.

- Look, Mom, a dog!

This is Eddie! said Steve.

-He bites? Ethan asked.

"No, he only bites evil men." You can sit next to him, boys. "Catherine, you come with me, up ahead.

"I did not know you liked dogs, Steve.

Neither do I, Catherine. But Eddie got me.

They arrived at Catherine's house. Ethan wanted to show Charlie his room. Steve and Catherine were alone in the living room.

"So, it was good to see you, Catherine. I missed you.

-I missed you too, Steve.

Come here! "Steve said, pulling Catherine into a hug. They were both together, silent for a while.

"Steve, do not do this to me!"

"What, Catherine?"

"You have someone else in your life.

"Charlie, we need to go," Steve said, not wanting to leave Catherine.

The boys ran.

"Hey, was so good to meet you. Be a good boy for your mother," Steve said, hugging the boy.

-Bye, Charlie! Ethan said, hugging Charlie.

"I think these two will be great friends." Steve said smiling.

-Bye, Cath! Steve said, looking into her eyes.

"Bye, Steve.
