Steve woke up the next morning to find his wife next to him sound asleep. They had a great night last night with the two of them. Steve remembers that tomorrow he is leaving for about two weeks. He get out of bed and heads to turn on his phone to text Danny to bring back his daughter.

Steve texts says: Hey, bring back my daughter Danno. Before my wife wakes up.

Danny replies back to Danny about ten minutes later.

Danny texts says: Dude, she's sleeping. Spend time with your wife. I will bring her home in about two hours. Grace wants more time with your daughter.

Steve replies to him. Steve loves how they text back and forth but he is not kidding about wanting his child back.

Steve texts: fine.

Anna wakes up to find her husband not there. She grabs one of his favorite shirts and puts it on and goes searching for her husband. She finds him down stairs talking to Danny via text. Anna comes up to her husband and wrabs his arms around him. Steve turns around his wife's arms and gives her a kiss.

"Hey baby." Steve says to her. "I have to pack for tomorrow." Steve heads back upstairs and takes his navy bag out of his closet. Anna walks into their bedroom and smiles at her husband. "You got my favorite shirt on."

"Yes." Anna says to her husband as he still puts his navy things into his bag. "Don't worry I won't get it dirty." Steve walks over to her and gives her a kiss. "What time is Lauren coming home?"

"In about two hours." Steve says to his wife. He kisses her again. "I love you. It's going to be hard for me to be away from you for two weeks."

"You are the one that wants to be on reserve list to be serve here in Hawaii." Anna says to her husband. She is joking that says to him. "I am just kidding. I love you."

"Haha! That's really funny when you said that." Steve says to his wife. "Now what are we going to do about our two hours that we have?"

"Maybe we could have fun." Anna says as Steve gives her another kiss and they make love for the second time in the past two days. Steve enjoyed having alone time.

- 2 hours later -

Steve walks down stairs to hear the door knocking. Danny is there with Grace and Lauren. Danny told him two hours and then he will be there.

"What is wrong with you? I have been waiting for 20 minutes out here with my daughter and yours. I thought that you wanted your daughter back home." Danny says to his friend.

"I did but that was two hours ago and now my wife and I are enjoying our time away from her." Steve says to his friend. Lauren starts to fuss at the sight of her daddy. Steve picks up his daughter from Danny's arms and Danny puts her diaper bag and car seat in the front door. "Thank you for watching my daughter."

"Your welcome." Danny says to his friend. Anna comes down the stairs wearing one of her maternity dress.

"hey Danny and Grace did you have a fun day with Lauren?" Anna asks Danny and Grace. Danny smiles knowing that they reunited last night without their daughter.

"Yes." Grace says to Steve's wife. "Danno, we have to go. Mommy wants me home soon."

"I know monkey. See you later guys." Danny says to them. Danny and Grace go Danny's car.

- Steve and Anna -

"So babe, what do we want to do?" Steve says to his wife as his daughter smile at her parents.

"Take her to the beach." Anna says as she walks to get her daughter's swimsuit ready to go. Steve went up to the stairs and gets his swimshorts on. He has not gone to his morning swim yet because he wanted to spend some time with his wife before their daughter gets home.

5 minutes later

Steve and Anna take their daughter down to the water. Steve heads straight to the water to go for his swim and Lauren smiles and giggles while watching her daddy swim.

"What do you like watching daddy swiming?" Anna says to her daughter as she walks up to the water and gently puts her daughter in the water with her. Ten minutes later, Steve is done with his swim as he decides to find his wife and daughter playing in the water.

Steve gives his wife and daughter a smile. Steve's life is finally good again. They spend the rest of the day together at the beach before heading back to the house.

Steve is finishing packing for his ops. Anna is getting ready for bed. Steve climbs into bed and gives her a kiss before going to bed. They wrap in each other's arms.

"I love you." Steve says to his wife.

"I love you too." Anna says to her husband and with that being said they go to sleep.
