Author Note: I hope that you all had a wonderful two weeks break from the show. I have missed being able to tweet about it. I can't believe that we are almost Christmas time.
Chapter 10
Steve was trying to do more things with the boys since they were growing up so fast. Today he was taking John out for a morning run. He knew that he could not go as fast as he want to since he had John with him. He knew that John loved going for runs and that is why he took him.
"Daddy, when are we going to get our Christmas tree?" John asked his father.
"I don't know buddy. We might try to do it today. It just depends if we have a case or not." Steve told his son as his cell started to ring. They ended up having to run back to the house since Robyn had to take all the kids to daycare since she had to go to work today.
Robyn and Steve met Grover at the ME office. Grover gave Robyn a small hug.
"Hey, It feels that we haven't seen each other in a few weeks." Grover said to her. "How is the kiddos?"
"I know it feels that way to me too. They are doing good. So what do we have?" She asked him.
Grover gave them the low down on the case and Robyn knew that it was a little bit weird but as the case went on they figured out that it was either the mother or the father that did it.
"I can't believe that it was mother that killed her. I don't think that she would have lost her son if she had just been honest." Robyn said to her husband.
"Now she will never know. She has kept that a secret for the past ten years." Steve responded to her with a smile.
"I am just glad that we don't have to worry about this." Robyn responded to her husband.
"yeah, I am happy about this too." Steve responded to her before giving her a small kiss.
The next morning
Steve and Robyn loaded all the kids up into Steve's new truck. Steve knew that his boys loved the new truck since they got to have enough room in the back.
"So what happen with Danny yesterday?" She asked her husband.
"He thinks that his sister is having an affair with her co-worker and they got into a fight." Steve responded to her.
Steve and Robyn unloaded the kids from the truck when they got to Christmas tree lot. Steve and Robyn to make sure that they let the kids pick out the tree this year.
"Daddy, what about this one?" Michael asked his father.
"I don't know. It looks a little small." Steve said to his son. "Let's keep looking."
"Daddy!" Kia yelled for her father.
"Yes, princess." Steve said as he ran up to her.
"What about this tree?" She asked her father with a small smile. Steve could tell that she was super proud of the tree.
"I love it. Let's ask mommy." Steve told his daughter as Robyn and the other children come running up to see the Christmas tree. Robyn loved the tree so they took the Christmas tree and headed home. Robyn and the kids started to decorate the Christmas tree with Steve's help. He managed to keep the twins entertain while Robyn and the older kids did it.
Steve and the kids decided to make Christmas cookies which was really cute on Robyn's eyes. She loved how he loves to being with the kids. There was a knocked on the door and it turned out to be the team.
"Hey guys. Come on in. He's making cookies with the kids." Robyn said to her friends.
"So I need to tell you guys something." Max said to them. "I have decided to leave my job and tour around with Doctors while helping others with my wife."
"Wait, what? When?" Marissa asked him
"In about three weeks." Max said as Steve walked into the room after hearing the plans. Steve could not believe that he was leaving.
"For how long?" Steve asked his friend.
"For good." Max responded to his friends. They all gave him hugs.
Author Note: I ended up having to order a new laptop battery since it started dying. It might not be here until Christmas week. We just got our Christmas tree on Saturday and it is smelling our house up. :) It is almost time to make some Christmas cookies. I will see you guys next week for a new chapter of this storyline.
