Emilly and John sat next to Kim and Catherine sat next to Steve.

"Can I invite Joshua to dinner with us?" Emilly asked.

"No, Emilly. It's a family celebration. It's just our family," Steve replied.

"Okay, I'm sorry for asking," Emilly replied.

"I don't know why you want to take this strange guy to dinner with us, Emilly," John told her.

"He's my friend, John. What's the matter? Now besides me living in the dark, do you want me to live alone, without friends?" Emilly said to John and her words broke Catherine's heart.

"We are going to invite Joshua to lunch with us after practice during the week, Emilly," Catherine told the daughter.

"Thank you, Mom," Emilly replied and dropped a few tears.

"I didn't mean it, Emilly," John told her

"But that's what you said," Emilly replied.

"Stop fighting in front of Kim, please," Catherine asked.

"I'm sorry, Mom," Emilly said again and started to cry uncontrollably.

"Daughter, what is it?" Cath asked.

"Stop the car, Steve!" Catherine asked.

"We are on the road, Catherine!" Steve said.

"Stop this car now!" Catherine said.

"I'm not going to stop, we're close to home," Steve replied.

Steve stopped the car in front of the house and Catherine got out of the car.

She helped Emilly out of the car and then picked up Kim.

"Catherine ..." Steve tried to speak to her.

"Don't talk to me," Catherine told him.

John also got out of the car and went into the house.

"Kim, help Emilly go to the bedroom," Catherine said to the girl.

"I can go alone, mom," Emilly said and went into the house.

"Go with your sister, Kim," Catherine said to the girl. And Kim obeyed.

Catherine looked at Steve. "We've been together for almost five years, and my daughter never asked you for anything. Today, you made a point of reminding her that she is not your daughter. If John or Kim had asked you for something, you would have done how was my daughter who asked, you denied it," Catherine told him.

"You are being unfair to me, Cath."

Catherine went to the beach and sat on one of the chairs. Steve went after her to apologize, he didn't want to fight with her even though she was overreacting.

"Cath, I'm sorry. I don't want to fight, let's call Emilly's friend over for dinner and the matter will be settled," Steve said.

"There's no more dinner, I don't want to go anywhere," Catherine replied.

Steve crouched down in front of Catherine. "Hey, we don't usually fight, Cath. Do you remember that?"

Catherine didn't answer and Steve rested his hands on her knees.

"I didn't mean to hurt Emilly," Steve said.

"But you hurt her," Catherine replied.

"I'm going to apologize to her," Steve said.

"My daughter is suffering because of your son, Steve. She loves him, I told her so many times to forget him, but she doesn't listen to me," Catherine said.

"He has a girlfriend now," Steve told Catherine.

"Oh my God!" Catherine said. "I feared that day so much."

"I can't make him love Emilly, Cath."

"And I'm not asking for that, Steve. I don't want anyone to look at my daughter with pity, she deserves to be happy. Joshua is very kind to her, he treats her very well and I think he likes her," Catherine told Steve.

Steve stood up and held out his hand to her. "I just don't want the two of us to walk away from each other because of our kids."

Catherine stood up and hugged him. "I also don't want to fight with you anymore."

"Come here," Steve pulled her into a very bold kiss. "I love you," he said.

"I love you too," she replied.

"Mommy! Mommy!" Kim was running and screaming.

"What happened, daughter?"

Catherine asked.

"Emilly is bleeding," Kim said.

"Oh my God!" Catherine ran to Emilly's room and Steve followed her.

"Emilly! Emilly!" Catherine shouted.

"I'm fine, Mom. I just cut my foot in the bathroom, but I don't know how," Emilly replied.

Catherine breathed a sigh of relief. "I'll take care of that, daughter. I'll get the first aid box."

"Thanks mom," Emilly replied.

Steve approached Emilly and took her foot. "It was an ugly cut, Emilly."

"It hurts," said Emilly.

"Emilly, I want to apologize, and I want you to invite your friend to our dinner," Steve told her.

"Serious?" Emilly asked.

"Yes, you can call him," Steve replied.

Catherine returned with a first aid kit to take care of Emilly's foot.

"Mom, Steve said I can call Joshua and invite him to dinner," said Emilly.

"Great, honey," said Catherine to Emilly. She lost the desire to go to that dinner, but saw how happy Emilly was.

Emilly called Joshua and invited him to dinner with her and her family.

"Thanks for the invitation, Emilly. Did you open my gift?" Joshua asked.

"Not yet, Joshua, but I'm going to do that now," Emilly replied.

"Okay, Emilly. I see you at the restaurant," Joshua said.

"At eight o'clock, Joshua. Don't forget. Bye," Emilly said.

Steve arrived at the restaurant with his family and Joshua was waiting outside.

"Steve, this is Joshua," Catherine introduced him to Steve.

"Hello, Joshua," Steve said.

"Hello, Mr. Mcgarrett," Joshua replied.

"This is John," Catherine said to Joshua.

Joshua held out his hand to John, but John ignored him.

"Hi, Joshua!" Emilly said.

"Hi, Emilly," Joshua replied and offered his arm. Emilly took his arm and he led her to the restaurant

.The waiter took them to a table with 7 seats. "I booked a table with 6 seats," Steve said.

"I called and asked for an extra seat, Dad. I invited my girlfriend," John told Steve.

Emilly was sad, but she didn't let Joshua realize that.

"Did you like the gift, Emilly?" Joshua asked.

"Yes, Joshua. I loved it, thank you," Emilly replied. He had given her a box of heart-shaped chocolates.

Natalie arrived and John introduced her to his family. "Family, this is Natalie, my girlfriend."
