A few hours later, Catherine was breastfeeding Kenny at a unique moment between mother and child. Kenny was staring at her as he felt protected in her arms, as her scent calmed him down.

"I love you, son," Catherine said to him and gave his forehead a soft kiss. "You're my dream come true."

She was thinking about what their life would be like from then on. She didn't know if she and Steve were going to live together, or if they would continue each in their own home. "Me and your daddy need to talk," she said to Kenny.

Kenny started crying because the milk was gone.

"Hey, easy, I'm just going to move you to the other breast, son." He calmed down after he sucked again.

Steve opened the door and walked into the apartment afraid she'd fight him for taking too long to get back. "What happened? I heard him crying down the hall."

"There was nothing, he's just a gluttonous little boy who can't wait," Catherine answered Steve. "Right, son?" She smiled at Kenny.

Steve kissed Kenny's cheek and the boy complained.

"What is it, son? Can't Daddy have a kiss? Are you mad because I'm interrupting your dinner?" Steve told the boy.

"He didn't like your beer puff,steve. The smell is too strong," Catherine told him.

"I'll eat something and brush my teeth, that should lessen the smell," Steve told her.

"Do that," she replied.

A few days later Steve went back to work and Danny and Junior called him in to talk.

"Steve, my home renovation's over and I'm coming home. I really appreciate the time I spent at your house, but it's about time you got your house back. There's no sense in you living apart from your family," Danny told Steve.

"Catherine doesn't complain, Danny. And I'm not living apart from her and Kenny," Steve answered.

"You're not because you practically live there now. But it's not fair that she's paying rent on the apartment if you have a house. And like I told you once, I was looking at some apartments and you said you wanted to help me choose. I picked a few to visit today after hours. Will you still want to go with me?" Junior told Steve

"Sure, Junior. I'll come with you. I'll just let Catherine know," Steve picked up the phone and left the office to call her.

"You see, Junior? That's what marriage does to us. You have to give them satisfaction with every step you take. And he's not even married yet, huh?"

"That's respect, Danny. She'll be worried about him if he takes too long to arrive and doesn't warn her," Junior replied.

"Hmm! I realize Tani's going to boss you around too," Danny told Junior.

"Well, I think you have a crazy urge to get someone to boss you around too," Junior replied.

Two months later...

Catherine was changing Kenny's diaper and was talking to him when he gave her a big smile and she was very happy.

"Son, did you smile at me?"

She picked up the phone and started filming Kenny. She played with him hoping he'd smile again, but he didn't.

"I need to tell Daddy you smiled for the first time."

Steve was at the supermarket when she called. "Steve, Kenny gave the first smile, I tried to get him to smile again for me to film and send it to you, but he didn't smile again. I'm so happy!"

Steve smiled. "And does he have a beautiful smile?"

"Wonderful!" She answered.

"Well, now that he's smiled the first time, he'll smile again. I'll pay for the groceries and then go to Danny's house to deliver the wedding invitation."

"Why didn't you give him the invitation at headquarters like you did the others?" Catherine asked.

"Danny asked for two weeks vacation, he wasn't there."

"All right, but don't take too long," she asked.

"I won't be long, I promise."

Steve had a cart full of diapers for Kenny and other items for home and Catherine. A woman approached and looked at his cart.

"It's really nice to have a baby at home, isn't it?" She said to Steve.

Steve smiled. "Yes, it's very nice."

"How many months is the baby?"

"Two months," Steve answered.

"Some women stop paying attention to their husband after the baby's born, do you have that problem?"

"Am I not free of this even at the supermarket?" Steve thought. "No, I don't have that problem with my wife. She's exactly the same as always." He was relieved it was his turn to pay for the groceries.

Steve left the supermarket and went to Danny's house. He rang the bell and was speechless when the door opened.

"Danny, visit for you!" Susan screamed. She had wet hair and was wearing a robe, just like Danny.

"Steve?" Danny ran out of action when he saw Steve at the door.

"Hi, Danny. I didn't know you were busy. I just came by to bring my wedding invitation." Steve put the invitation on the table next to the door and left. He got in the car and put both hands on the steering wheel while he thought.

"Danny with Susan? Danny's gone crazy!"

Steve came home, took the groceries out of the car and took them in. He saw Catherine sitting on the beach chair with Kenny. He approached her and kissed her head. "Hey!"

"Hey! Kenny loves the sound of the sea and the singing of the birds. I can tell he's always calm when we're here," Catherine told him.

Steve stroked Kenny's head and sat down in the next chair.

"Cath, I found something that stunned me."

"And what is it?" She asked.

"Danny's sleeping with Susan."

"Susan? But wasn't she in a clinic for psychiatric treatment?" Catherine asked.

"Yes, she was. It was part of the deal not to get arrested for shooting me."

Catherine realized he was upset and agitated. "You're not jealous of her, are you?"

"No, Cath! By God, no! I love you!" He spoke loudly and Kenny got scared.

"Oh, son, forgive me," Steve said to Kenny and picked him up.

Catherine was stunned by the news. "What if Danny tells her about the switch and she wants to take Kenny away from me?"

"Kenny's ours, Cath. There's no way that's gonna happen. Just relax. I'm not jealous of her, I'm just worried about Danny. How can he date Susan after she's made my life hell?"

"Danny's an adult, Steve."

"Yes, he's an adult. But today it seems to me that he has a younger mental age than Kenny."

Kenny smiled at Steve when Steve pronounced his name.

"Look at that, Cath!"

"Smiling at Daddy, love?" Catherine said to Kenny.

"What a beautiful smile, son."
