Two hours later. Steve pushed the glass doors open as he dragged Amelia along with him. He stopped in the middel of the office´s, turning his head he saw Danny nodding his head to someone that was sitting in one of the chairs before he stood up. Steve saw the man standing up and he shook his head in anger when he saw it was Chace.
Alex turned her head to see what her Daddy was looking at and she let out a scream when she saw her uncle Chace standing inside the strange man´s office.
"Uncle Chace." Alex yelled as she saw her uncle opening the door and she ran towards her uncle. Alex laughed out loud as her uncle took her into his arms and hugged her tight.
"How is my girl doing?" Chace said with a smile on his face as he lifted Alex up in the air.
"Go wait for me in my office." Steve said to Amelia before he turned his head to see Chace lifting Alex into the air.
"No."
Steve scowled as he turned his head back to Amelia " Get your ass in my office or i am going to put you there myself." Steve smiled as he sees the angry flash in Amelia´s eyes as she turns around and walks into his office.
"Baby i am going to have a talk with your mom for a few minuet." Steve said as he turns his head back towards Alex.
"Are you going to yell at mommy again?" Alex asked as hugged her uncle hader as she looked up at her Daddy.
"No. Baby." Steve said as he walks over so he is standing in front of Alex, he gets down on his knee so he can look her in the eyes." Mommy and i just need to talk. Okay?" Steve asked her as he runs his hand down of her face.
"Okay." She said, looking up at Chace. "Can uncle Chace take me to get something to eat?" Alex asked as she looks back over at Steve.
"Sure." Steve tells her with a smile on his face before he looks up at Chace.
"Come one Alex." Chace said as he looks towards Steve´s office before he turns the both of them around, walking out of the office.
Amelia looked up as Steve walked into his office.
"Steve.."
"Shut up." Steve said, leaning against his desk as he folded his arms across his chest.
"You shut up." Amelia said with anger in her voice.
"It is my office." Steve said as he held his arms out in front of him." I can do what ever i want."
"I am not going to apologize for wanting you and Alex to be safe." Steve said as he once again folded his arms across his chest.
"No one is asking you to keep us safe. It is not your job anymore." Amelia said as she looked up at him and she knew she should never had said that to him as she saw him move away from the table and the look he had in his eye actually made her afraid of him.
"She is my daughter, so don´t tell me it is not my job to make sure she is safe." Steve said as he pointed an angry finger towards her." Dammit Amelia." Steve snapped as he turned around as he ran a hand over his mouth as he tried to calm himself down.
"Are we done?" Amelia asked as she moved a hand to her hips as she stared up at Steve.
"You and i are not done here."
"We were done along time ago."
Steve Stiffened. Because he know Amelia was not taking about this moment and it hurt him to hear her saying that because he really thought my then coming here he could begin to fix his relationship with the both of them.
"Alex is not leaving this island until i am sure she is safe." Steve turned around to see Amelia´s hand was on the door handle.
"And when do you think that will be." Amelia said as she turned around to look at Steve." A week. A month, a year?"
"I don´t know." Steve yelled at her.
"I have a job. I can´t just.."
"I don´t care." Steve told her as he pointed a finger at her." She is not leaving until i am sure he can´t get to her."
"Why do you care all off the sudden?"
"Don´t." Steve said as he moved towards her, but he backed away, seeing the fear in her eyes.
"The last time you saw her she was 4 years old, she is 6 now. So tell me Steven." Amelia said as she moved closer to him" Where have you been the last 2?" Amelia asked. She knew it was a low blow, but she was beyond caring at the moment.
" You bitch." Steve said as he looked up at her with a sad look on his face." You.." Steve turned around as he moved both of his hand over his head and he stood there for a few second before he turned around to look at her.
"You left me. Not the other way around. You took my daughter and moved around the world. What was i supposed to do?" Steve asked her with years in his eyes.
"I don´t know. Maybe you should have come for us or were you to busy with someone else." Amelia said as she grabbed her bag from the chair as she walked past him. But she felt Steve grab a hold of her arm as he pushed her around so she was looking at him.
"What are you talking about?" Steve asked confused.
"Cathrine Rollins." Was all Amelia said as she pushed Steve back so she could leave his office and she turned around to see Steve standing inside his office and she saw the confused look on his face until she saw it was replaced with a shocked on insted as he turned his head around to see her and when she saw he was going to come after her. She walked out of the glass door, she need to get away from Steve because she was not supposed to have said anything about Cathrine, but she just lost in there. How could he stand there not knowing what she was talking about. Did he really think she was stupid.
Amelia too Alex hand as she turned around to find two officers blocking her way." Excuse me." She said as she tried to walked around them, but the moved in front of her." Do you mind?" Amelia said as she looked over at the young officer that stood there looking nervous back at her.
"Sorry ma´am but you can´t leave, the commander´s orders." One of the officers said as he looked over her head.
Amelia turned around to see Steve walking up behind them." Are you for real?" Amelia asked not believing he would keep them there against there will."
"I told you Alex is not going anywhere, but you on the other hand is more then welcome to leave." Steve said as he held his hand out towards her.
"And how do you expect to keep her here?" Amelia asked as she folded her arms across her chest.
"I can get a court order."
"You do know i am a lawyer, right." Amelia said with a fake smile on her face as she walked closer to Steve.
"And i have full immunity and means and i know the Governor." Steve said as he to walked closer to her with a smile of his own.
Amelia pushed her finger against Steve´s chest." You.."
"Mommy."
Amelia looked down to see Alex staring up at her with tears in her eyes so she got down on her knees in front of Alex as she took her small hands into her own as she stared up at Alex with a sad look on her face because she had promise herself that she would never let Alex see how bad thing really was between her and Steve.
"Baby i am sorry." Amelia said as she wiped away the tears that was falling down Alex´s cheeks.
"Alex."
Steve said her name with a soft tone in his voice as he to got down on his knees in front of Alex as he took one of her hands in to his as he smiled up at his little girl and he turned his head towards Amelia before looking back at Alex.
"How about you and mommy come stay with me at my house?"
"Really?" Alex said with a smile on her face as she turned her head over to look at her mommy.
"Steve."
"Mommy. Can we go stay with Daddy?" Alex asked her mommy as she moved her arms around Steve´s neck.
"I don´t think Daddy have.."
"You can stay in your aunty Mary´s old room. Would you like that?"
"Steve!"
"Yes and then you can take me swimming. Can we can look for mermaids?"
"Sure Baby." Steve said as he hugged Alex back as he looked over at Amelia as he stood up whet Alex in his arms." So what do you say mommy?" Steve said because he knew Amelia had no choice now, but to say yes.
"Sure Baby. You can stay with your Daddy for now." Amelia said with a smile as she saw the smile on Steve´s face vanished.
"What about you?" Alex asked as she turned her head around so she could look at her mother.
"How about you stay with your Daddy and i will come by in the morning and then we can talk about it?" Amelia said as she ran her hand down Alex´s arm.
"Okay, mommy." Alex said as she turned her head towards her Daddy with a smile on her face.
The smile on Amelia´s face vanished the moment Alex turned her head around and she whispered to Steve." This is now over." Before she turned around with Chace by her side.
"You okay?" Chace asked her with a worried look on his face.
"God i hate him so much." Amelia said as she stopped in her tracks, turning around and as she did she hit Chace hard on his shoulder." And you did this." Amelia said as she pointed a finger up at Steve´s offices.
"I know you think you were protecting Alex. But i hate to say this, there is no one better then Steve to protect her and you know i am right." Chace said as he took a step closer to her so he could run his hand down her arm.
Danny sat on the edge of his desk while Chin leaned back in his chair when the hear the door being opened and Steve and Alex´s voice could be hear out side his office. They both turned their heads as the door to Danny´s office opened and Steve stood in the doorway with Alex on his arm.
"I am going to take Alex home." Steve said as he looked between Chin and Danny before looking back at Alex." And i am taking the a couple of days of." Steve said as he looked back to see a stunned look on Danny´s face." Call me if you guys need anything." Steve said as he nodded his head towards the two men as he turned around and walked towards his own office to grab his car keys and then he and Alex left the office.
Danny and Chin watched Steve and Alex leave the office. Danny ran a hand through his hair as he turned around to look at Chin." 20 dollars says this is only going to get worse."
" 30 dollars." Chin said as he stood up and tapped his finger on the desk." 30 dollars saying it will get much worse and then one of them will exploit." Chin said with a tight smile on his face before walking out of Danny´s office.
Danny walked around his desk and looked down at the picture of his own little girl and he fall backwards into his chair." I am so dead." He said to himself.
