Two days later Harry arrived to help Steve. "What last name should we give her?" Harry asked.
"Which do you prefer, Cath?" Steve asked her.
"I don't know, Steve. Choose for me," she asked.
"Rollins. Catherine Rollins," Steve chose.
A few days later, they were ready to go to Hawaii. Steve had hired a safe deposit box at the bank and kept the inheritance her father had given her. "I can't believe you were carrying all this," Steve told her. He promised her that after a few months they would return so that she could visit the museum again.
Harry drove Steve, Catherine and Junior to the airport. "Thanks for everything, Harry," Steve thanked him and gave Harry a hug, and Catherine thanked him as well.
"I'm going to meet this baby soon," Harry told Catherine. Junior also said goodbye to Harry and the three of them headed for the boarding gate.
Catherine was nervous at first, but then she calmed down. "Steve, I still can't believe we're flying."
Steve smiled and held her hand affectionately. She looked like a little girl discovering the world.
A few hours later, Catherine felt some pain and felt her legs getting wet. She woke up Steve who was dozing, "Steve, I think something is wrong."
"What happened, Cath?" He woke up startled.
"I'm feeling pain," she said and also pointed to her legs.
"Oh, Cath! Does he want to be born already?" Steve spoke up and a doctor soon stood up. "Do you need help?"
"I don't think the baby will wait until we get to Hawaii," Steve told the doctor.
"I need a space to examine her," the doctor said to the stewardess.
Three hours later the baby was born after a relatively quick labor. "Our baby, Cath!" Steve was smiling as he looked at her and the baby.
Catherine held the baby and stroked his little head with much love and care. "My baby..." she remembered the day she had tried to run away so that her brother wouldn't hurt her baby. "You are safe now," Catherine whispered to the baby.
When the plane landed at the airport, Danny was waiting for them and there was also an ambulance to take Catherine and the baby to the hospital.
Danny was startled when he saw Catherine and recognized her as the woman in the portrait. "Do you see now that I wasn't lying?" Steve said to him.
"That's crazy, Steve!" Danny exclaimed.
Some time later, Steve was in the hospital with the baby on his lap while Catherine rested. Steve couldn't get enough of looking at that beautiful little face. "You are most welcome, my son. I am your daddy, I will protect you, and I will do everything I can to make you very happy."
"Cath, what names are we going to give him?" Steve asked her when she woke up.
"I would like to name him after my father if you agree, Steve."
"Afonnso McGarrett Rollins. All right, Cath. No problem. I know how much you loved your father."
"Thank you," she smiled at him. He moved closer to her and kissed her lovingly. "Thank you for being a part of my life. I love you."
Six months later...
Steve arrived home after another day at work. He found the silence in the house strange when he opened the door. Some of Afonnso's toys were scattered around the couch, but he didn't see Catherine or the baby. His heart pounded hard and panic took over him. "Cath!" he went up the stairs calling for her. "Cath!"
Steve looked all over the house, in the garage and in the backyard. "No, no, no..." he kept repeating to himself. Steve felt everything spin around him and sat down on the floor.
"Look who's here, son," Steve heard her say to the baby. He stood up quickly and hugged Catherine and the baby. "Where were you?"
"I was talking to the neighbor," Catherine told him.
"Oh, Cath. I thought you and Afonnso had..." he didn't have the heart to finish the sentence.
"You thought we were back to our own time," she finished the sentence for him.
"Yes, I did. And it was terrible." Steve kissed her several times on the mouth and cheek while Afonnso smiled and tried to tug on his ear. "I can't live without you two."
Catherine caressed his face. "We are here, my love. We will always be here."
End.
