Go take a shower, Steve. Dinner is almost ready.
OK.
Steve went into the living room. Ethan, I'm going to take a shower, then we'll have dinner. After dinner let's draw together. OK friend?
Okay, Daddy.
While he was taking a shower, Steve was thinking how good it was to get home and have someone waiting for him. Have Catherine lovingly prepare dinner, have Ethan waiting to play. It's my family ... nobody's going to take it from me. Steve said to himself. Steve was slow to get down to dinner.
Ethan, go get Daddy for dinner. Catherine said.
Yes mom.
Ethan went upstairs and went to Steve and Catherine's room. Steve had finished dressing.
Dad, Mom is calling you.
Dinner is ready?
Yes.
Come on then, buddy.
Steve, Catherine, and Ethan sat at the table.
Catherine, I was thinking we could visit Mary and Joan this weekend. I can ask the Governor another two days so that Ethan does not miss school much.
It's going to be very good, Steve. I will love to see Mary and Joan again. And you need to relax a little. "Catherine said softly taking Steve's hand.
Yes, I do, Cath. Steve said kissing her hand.
Dad, I ate it all, can we draw now? Ethan asked.
Of course, Ethan. Go get the notebook, pencil and eraser.
Ethan came back with everything Steve asked.
Give me the picture you made, Ethan. Me, you and Mom.
This one, Daddy. Ethan said, handing the paper over to Steve.
Can I have it?
Can you, Dad. Did you see that, Mom?
I saw it, son. Its beautiful!
You're going to draw, I'm going to clean the kitchen.
After Ethan slept, Steve and Catherine were in the bedroom.
You were really upset with Danny. You're very tense, Steve.
I know, Catherine.
Whatever he said, forgive. You know how Danny is.
He has to think better before he talks. Steve said.
I know how to take this tension off ... "Catherine kissed Steve.
So, will you take care of me, Lieutenant?
I'll take good care of you, Commander ..
I waited for it all day ...
Really? said Catherine, smiling.
Yes ... come here ...
The next day Steve arrived at the 5-0 headquarters and Danny had already arrived and was in his office. Steve headed straight to his office. Lou arrived shortly thereafter and felt the tense mood between Steve and Danny.
Hey, man! Lou said, walking into Steve's office.
Hey, Lou.
What is it? said Lou, taking the picture of Ethan, which Steve had framed and placed on his desk.
Me, Ethan and Catherine. It's Ethan's first work of art, said Steve proudly.
He's talented, Lou said.
Yes, he is.
Then Steve. I know it's not my business, but what's going on between you and Danny, man?
Danny offended Catherine, called her a liar and he thinks I'm wrong about liking Ethan as my son. And he still does not know that I'm going to reopen the process of Ethan's adoption, to include me as his father. I want him to have my last name.
Wow. Danny really went overboard.
He, at the very least, owes me an apology.
At lunchtime, Steve was in his office when Catherine knocked on the door. Hey, can we come in? Catherine asked.
Hey, sure. What a good surprise, you here.
Hi daddy! Ethan said, hugging Steve.
Steve put him on his lap.
I got Ethan at school and we came to buy some clothes for him. He is growing fast and losing his clothes. So I thought we could have lunch together if you're not too busy.
Yes, we can have lunch together.
Catherine looked at Steve's desk. Look, did you frame Ethan's drawing? You're so cute, Steve.
Steve just smiled.
And you my friend? Was everything okay at school?
Yes, Dad. I played ball.
That's good, son. Steve said.
Lou knocked on the door.
Hey Catherine.
Hey Lou.
So this is the famous Ethan?
Yeah, say hi to Uncle Lou, Ethan. Steve said.
Hi, Uncle Lou.
Hi, Ethan.
Lou, I'm going out for lunch with Catherine and Ethan, but I'm going back. Anything let me know.
Okay, Steve. Do not worry.
Bye, Lou. Catherine said.
Bye.
Lou took advantage of Steve leaving for lunch and headed to Danny's office.
Danny, can I talk to you?
Of course, come in.
So, Danny. I talked to Steve and he's very annoyed with you. I think you could apologize. You can not call liar, the woman of the man.
Lou, I did not said a lie. She lied to Steve, she lied to me. He left Steve, and now she has returned to the island with this boy. She brought the child just to soften his heart. And softening his heart, it was just her fingers snapping that he would go to her like a puppy.
I do not think that's it, Danny. Even if the child did not exist, he would return to her. You know Steve loves Catherine. And he is very happy with the boy. He really feels like a father. How bad is that? Father is the one who creates. We know how Steve already suffered a lot. Let him be happy, do not judge him, do not judge Catherine.
Okay, Lou. you're right.
Steve had lunch with Catherine and Ethan in the Kamekona Trailer. Then he returned to headquarters.
Danny was waiting for him. Steve, can I talk to you for a minute?
In my office, Danny.
Danny followed Steve to his office. So, Steve. I wanted to apologize for offending you and Catherine.
I'm glad you realize you've offended me too, Danny. offend Catherine, also offends me.
I promise I will not intrude on your life any more.
I think it's good, Danny. I think it's good.
So, are we okay?
For now, yes.
Okay. Danny said leaving.
Danny! said Steve, calling him.
What?
Saturday I go to the mainland to visit Mary and will not be back until Tuesday. Until then you will be in charge of the team. I already warned the Governor.
Okay, said Danny.
Mary was cleaning the house when the doorbell rang.
Steve! Catherine! What a surprise! And who is this beautiful boy?
Ethan, our son of the heart, just as Joan is his daughter. Ethan, this is Auntie Mary.
Hi, Aunt Mary.
Hi dear. Joan will love you. Come on, give me a hug here, brother. Mary said.
Steve hugged her. "How are you?"
I am fine. And you, Catherine. Give me a hug too. I'm so happy you're together again. Mary said, hugging Catherine.
Thank you, Mary.
Why did not you warn me? I would have prepared something special.
We wanted to surprise. So where is my niece?
She is in the room playing. Joan, come here!
Joan came running to Steve when she saw him.
Uncle Steve!
Hey honey. Steve said hugging Joan and holding her in his lap. How great you are!
Hey, Joan. You do not remember me, but I'm Aunt Cath.
Hi, Aunt Cath.
Joan, this is your cousin Ethan. Give him a hug. Mary said.
Joan hugged Ethan and then invited him to play.
Who would have thought, Steve. When I adopted Joan, you told me to give her back.
In fact, it was I who adopted Ethan when Steve and I were apart. Catherine said.
I'm so sorry, Mary. I'm sorry for the day I told you to give Joan back. Today I know what you felt.
It's all right. This is the past, brother. I'll clean the room so you can rest.
I'll help you, Mary. Catherine said.
I'm going to play with the kids. Steve said.
So, Catherine. You also wanted to be mother. Ethan is beautiful. He looks like with Steve.
Mary, do not say that close to Steve. We have already argued for this reason.
Because?
Steve thought I had conceived and concealed his son.
Steve ... always with trust issues.
Yeah. Catherine said.
