The next morning, the staff would be off duty, because they worked until very late.

Steve and Cath woke up, ate breakfast, went back to bed, and stayed there most of the morning.

"Steve, the Governor's proposal, I'm sorry ... but I will not accept it.

- All right, Cath. Do not feel forced on anything. I just thought of you because you've worked with it for a lifetime.

So, Steve. I've worked in this business all my life, I think now is the time to slow down. You know, when I was in Afghanistan, I loved teaching those children. It was very gratifying. I was thinking, why could not I teach here in Hawaii too? It's just an idea, it needs to be matured. I would need to study, become a teacher ...

"If that's what you want Cath, I give you my full support." I'll help you whatever it takes. I just want you to be happy here.

"I'm very happy here, Steve. I'm even liking my housewife life. Catherine said, smiling.

"All right, Cath. I'll talk to the Governor.

"Are not you going to be mad at me?"

-Never. Steve said giving kisses in Cath. I also have something to talk to you, or rather to ask you. Steve said, getting serious.

-What is Steve? If it's within my reach.

Steve got off the bed, knelt on the floor of the room and said, That's not how I planned it. Before you left, I thought so much, because I wanted to do something so special, that I lost you. So I decided not to wait any longer: "Catherine Rollins, wonderful woman and the only love of my life, do you want to marry me and give me a son?

" Steve ...! Yes, Yes ... Catherine said excitedly. All I want is to be with you for a lifetime and start a family with you. I love you, you know. Today You are making me the happiest woman in the world! And it could not have been more special: just you and me. Catherine pulled Steve and hugged him. They stood together, hugging each other in silence for a few minutes, felling the most moment of their lives since they met ...

...

"You're making me the happiest man in the world too, Cath!" said Steve, kissing her passionately and fiercely.

-Steve ... maybe the baby will arrive before the wedding ... we did not warn ourselves on that first day that you found out that I had come back, do you remember?

"Of course I remember. Are you telling me you're pregnant? Steve said smiling.

"No, Steve, it's too early to tell. But the possibility exists.

"I'll love it if you're already pregnant."

"I did not know you wanted a son so badly." You've never talked about this before. I was already thinking how I would tell you if I found out I was pregnant. I thought you'd think I did it on purpose.

"Cath, of course I would not think that. And it's true, I never thought much about it. But now, I'm not getting any younger. Is time passing and what have I built? Anything. I do not have a family waiting for me to get home. I really want this, Cath. And only you can give me that. I do not want a family with anyone other than you. Because I love you, you know.

-I know, I know ... our family will be beautiful, Steve! It will be wonderful. Me, you, two children and a dog. We already have Eddie ... all they need is their children.

Oh, Catherine! I thought of three children ...

-Steve! three children ? Okay, okay. Catherine said smiling.

"And to celebrate, today I'll take you to Dinner at that restaurant you love.

-Omasake Ozzie?

-OK. You deserve this and much more. I'm going to talk to Junior today. Now that he's working, he can keep and rent a house. I thought you could pass this house on to him.

"It would be perfect for him." If he wants to keep the house, I can talk to the owner.

"I do not want to stay another second away from you. I want you with me forever!"

-I also want to stay with you forever, but you still have work today ... but although ... we still have a little time ...

"Yes, Lieutenant.

"Then come here, commander ... let's enjoy it ..."

-Ever
