Author's response to reviews:
Ilse23: He figure it out on his own. It's just going to wondering if he will figure out that his father was behind on it. If my dad did that I would be upset for keeping my family from me.
Chapter two
Allie knew the minute that Steve put the pieces together that Lauren was his daughter. She could lose her daughter forever to him. She had lied to the both of them for eleven years.
"We are going to have to talk soon." Steve told her as he went back to his work. Allie waited for him to leave the room to talk to Lauren.
"Mom who was that?" Lauren asked to her mother.
"He's your father." Allie told her daughter.
"What do you mean that he is my father? He was never there when I was a young child and now what do you want me to do?" Lauren asked her.
"It's not his fault that he was not there when you were growing up. Grandpa John wanted to make sure that you were taken care of so that you could have a future and that meant that your dad was not in the picture." Allie told her daughter.
"Didn't you want dad to be there?" Lauren asked her mom.
"Of course I wanted your father to be there so he could help me raise a beautiful little girl. When you were born, you looked so much like him that it was hard to keep from calling your dad. I actually picked up the phone and dialed his number but he did not answer the phone. I called your grandfather and he told me that your dad was on a mission. I am sorry that I caused you and your dad so much hurt. I would love for you to get to know him better. He's a sweet man." Allie told her daughter.
"I need to go and get some air." Lauren said as she walked away from her mother.
Headquarters
Steve walked into the office knowing that he needed time to process that this news between being a father. Danny came into the office for their first day of work.
"Steven?" He asked him. Steve did not answer. He was clearly in deep thoughts. "Steven?!" Steve turned around the second time that he heard his named being called.
"Hey." Steve said to him.
"What's going on?" Danny asked him.
"I found out something today at my dad's funeral that I wasn't expecting at all." Steve revealed to him.
"What was it?" Danny asked him. Before Steve got a chance to answer, the little girl that he had seen with Allie came into the office.
"Hey, my name is Danny, can I help you with anything?" Danny greeted Steve's daughter.
"I am looking for my father." She revealed to him.
"Well you are going to have to give us information to find him." Danny revealed to him.
"You don't have to look far. I am right here Danny. I am the father that she is looking for. Can I have a minute with her?" Steve asked his friend before he got any questions from Danny.
"Sure. I'll just go wait for Chin and Kono to get here." He said as he walked out of the room.
"So what can I helped you with?" Steve asked his daughter. It was hard for him to think of her as his daughter but he needed to make sure that she was safe.
"I want to know why you were never there when I was growing up?" She asked him.
"I am really sorry that I did not know that you were even born. Your mom has not been able to talk to me about it." Steve responded to her.
"So what are we going to do?" Lauren asked her father. "I really want to know you and have a relationship. Grandpa told me about you growing up and my mom wanted to keep lying about it."
"Let me talk to you as soon as I talk to you mom. Do you want to go out for lunch?" Steve asked his daughter.
"No. I am going to go hang out with my friends now." Lauren responded to him and right before she left, she turned around. "Will you do me a favor and not tell my mom that I was here?"
"I can't promise you that. She has the right to know where you are." Steve told her.
It's been three days since Allie had seen her daughter. She knew that her daughter was upset about her secret but this is really annoying her with the fact that she did not know where she was. She pulled out her phone and dialed her daughter's best-friend thinking that she would go there to talk and hang out. She thought about calling Steve and asking him to help find their daughter. Her friend answered the phone and lied to her that she was not there. She had done it for Lauren and she wanted to tell her mom. Allie picked up her car keys and headed to the headquarters. She walked into the building and looked for five o. She saw Danny and Chin walking out.
"Chin!" She smiled at him.
"Hey, what's going on?" Chin asked his friend.
"I am looking for Steve." she told him right as Steve came out of the office.
"Hey, it's about time that you come to me and talk to me about our daughter." He said to her as Danny and Chin moved out-of-the-way to let them talk.
"Can we please go somewhere private so we can talk about our daughter?" She asked him.
"sure let's go." Steve told her as he leaded her into the office. "Why did you keep our daughter secret from me?"
"Okay, I am going to tell you about everything but first you need to help me find her." Allie responded to her ex-boyfriend. She did not want to admit that she missed him.
"why?" He asked her.
"Because she has not been home for three days. Steve, we need to make sure that she's okay." She revealed to him.
"I know where she has been. She's actually been with one of her friends during the day and then staying at my house." He responded to her.
"Why did you not call me and let me know about where she is? I am her mother. I have the right to know about my daughter and where she's been." She revealed to him.
"Like I had the right to know where my child is at for the last ten years of her life." He responded to her.
"I'm sorry. I did not have a choice." She revealed to him.
"Why not?" He asked to her.
"your father." She revealed to him leaving in shocked with the truth right as their daughter came into the room.
"Mom, what do you mean grandpa had something to do without you telling dad the truth about me?" Lauren asked her mother.
"I went to him the minute that I found out that I was pregnant and he told me that there was no way to get a hold of you. I even tried to tell my dad about trying to find you and he went to John asked him where you were stationed and he refused to tell us anything. I knew the minute that you came home that I had a chance to tell you about the baby but you did not come back until now. I am sorry that I caused you so much pain. You have to believe me." Allie revealed to Steve and Lauren.
"No you are lying about grandpa. He would not do that." Lauren said as she ran out of the room and Allie went after her but Steve stopped her.
"Just give her some time to relax." Steve told her as she started to cry. "Come here." He wrapped his arms around her to give her comfort. "if it makes you feel better, I forgive you. I know that you did not have a chance. I just want to be a family with you."
"Me too." Allie told him
Later that night
Allie returned home to find her daughter waiting there with someone else.
"Mom this is my boyfriend. I am going to live with him since you are not telling the truth about grandpa." Lauren revealed to her as she took her boyfriend's hand and was about to leave the room.
"Lauren, you are not going anywhere with that boy. We need to talk about this with your father." Allie demanded to her daughter. She pointed to him. "You can go without my daughter."
The boyfriend left the house only to be face with talking to her dad.
"Can I help you with something? My girlfriend's mom is a little bit crazy." The boyfriend said to him.
"hey, the mom that you are talking about is my ex. She might be crazy but I still love her so don't be talking bad about her and plus I really don't want you to date my daughter." Steve told him. "Stay away from my daughter or I will have you arrested."
"For what? I haven't done anything wrong." He revealed to him.
"I could think of any amount of charges so I suggest that you stay away from her." Steve told him
"Fine but I can't make any promises if she comes for me." He told her father.
Lauren looked outside of the window while her mother wanted to make sure that she was okay.
"Mom, what is dad saying to him?" Lauren asked her mother.
"I don't know but that is not what I am worried about. Lauren, I am sorry that Grandpa made this secret so big but I wanted to tell you as soon as I found your father but it took ten years to reveal it when I wanted it to be revealed on the first day that I found out that I was pregnant with you. Your dad and I want to give our relationship a fair chance but we also need to work on our relationship right now." Allie told her daughter as Steve came walking into the room.
"Lauren, you need to give your mom a chance." Steve told his daughter.
