Chapter thirty-seven

Hey guys! Sorry this has taken so long to post! But to reward you for you awesome patience and fab reviews is an extra drama-filled chapter! So ENJOY!

The next five and a half months passed quickly for most people. But it felt like 100 years for Steve. He hadn't seen Kono, he'd had the occasional call but Danny and Chin were keeping him updated. Kono had told them what had happened and they had both sided with Steve, saying what she was doing was ridiculous. That the baby needed both her and Steve but she wouldn't listen. She still spent time with Charlie though and they texted all the time. But she had 6 weeks left of her pregnancy, which meant Steve had 6 weeks left to convince her to take him back.

"Steve I wouldn't do this if I were you." Danny warned. They were parked a few houses away from Kono's in the silver Camaro. In the back seat were boxes of chocolates and churos (Charlie had let it slip that those were Kono's pregnancy cravings) and four large bunches of red roses, one for each year Steve and Kono had known each other.

"Well then it's a good thing you aren't me. Thanks for the lift Danno." Steve said grabbing the gifts and getting out.

"Steve! Man come on think about this-"

"It'll be fine!"

"She's seven months pregnant. Do you know how hormonal women get when they're that pregnant. And this isn't any woman! This is Kono, Steve!" Danny shouted out the window and Steve jogged to the house.

He briefly stopped outside her door to find her spare key before heading in.

Kono was exhausted as she walked back to her house after a day at the beach with Gabby and Lailani, Chin had finally asked her out. She pulled her keys out of her purse and unlocked the door. The second she stepped in she knew someone was there. The lights were off and because it was night, it was pitch black. She waddled over to the corner of the room and bent down to turn the lamp on, a very difficult task with her ever growing baby bump. As she stood up she saw the coffee table in the middle of the room was full of chocolates and churos. Steve stepped into the room holding something behind his back. Her heart nearly stopped beating. She hadn't seen him for five months. She thought she was over him but all the thoughts and feelings came rushing back to her.

"Steve-" she started.

"Shh." He hushed her. He handed her a bouquet of red roses and lightly kissed her cheek. "That's for the year we first met." He then handed her another one. "And that's for the second year where you ended up in prison because of me." And he kissed her other cheek. "And this is for saving my life multiple times the third year." He kissed her neck at her sensitive spot and she felt a shiver run down her spine. "And this," he whispered, "is for the year I realised I loved you." He carefully moved his lips to hers and before she could stop him, he was kissing her. All the passion and love they had missed over the last months came rushing back. Kono dropped the flowers and wrapped her arms around his neck as he carefully slid his arms around her lower waist. Their kiss deepened as she gave in to temptation. But then she realised what she was doing. And she remembered why she was distancing herself and the baby from him. So she pushed him away.

He groaned but backed off. "Kono come on-"

"No Steve! You can't just come in here with flowers and candy and expect everything to be alright again."

"I didn't-"

"I don't care Steve. I've said it to you before and I'll say it again." She looked away from him. "I can't have you near my baby while there is a risk you could get killed. Get out Steve."

"Kono-"

"Get out or I will call HPD for breaking and entering." She shouted harshly.

"So fucking call them Kono." He yelled back. "I'm not doing this anymore. I'm tired of playing games, I played enough with Catherine and all my other exes. So quit with the bullshit."

She raised her hand to slap him but he grabbed her wrist and pulled her to him. "You're hurting me Steve." She whispered. His grip only tightened as he glared into her eyes.

"I know you love me Kono. I know you've never said it but you do. And I know you're scared of our relationship but I would never intentionally hurt you or our child." He let go of her wrist and it fell to her side as he walked away.

"I know Steve." She said almost inaudibly.

"So why are we doing this?"

"Because you might hurt the baby unintentionally. Steve, think about it. Wo Fat is still out there, other people you pissed off are still out there and they could come and hurt the baby! Or-" suddenly she stopped shouting as her hand flew to her stomach. Steve's eyes darted to where she placed her hand. "Steve."

"Oh my God." He rushed towards her. "OK Kono it's going to be alright baby."

"Steve- I think I'm in labour. Oh my God." She screamed.

Steve panicked. He didn't know what to do. "Alright. OK hospital. We need to get to the hospital-" he picked his up in her arms as he carried her out to her car.

"It's too early Steve! I have another six weeks."

"It's fine Kono. You're OK." He soothed as he drove to the hospital at least 10 times above the speed limit. He pulled his phone out. "Danny, Kono is in labour." He paused while Danny shouted on the other end of the line. "Yes I am taking her to the hospital. Get Charlie and Chin and meet us there." Steve said.

"You have to leave when we get there." Kono said.

"I'm not going anywhere!" He yelled back.

"I don't want you there when the babies are born Steve! You'll just become attached and start loving them-"

"OK shut up for a second Kono. First, I already love it. I always have and always will. You can't change that. And secondly, did you just say babies? Plural?"

So what do you think? Please please please review!
