After the football game was in half time Matt was getting restless sitting on the hard bleacher so he spied his brother asleep in his carrier before crawling into his father's lap and wrapping his jacket around him earning a few laughs, "A little cold?" Steve whispered in his ear which he nodded. "Let's go and get something to warm you up."

He wrapped his arms around his dad's neck as headed for the concession stand, "Hot cocoa?"

Steve ran out of the gate grabbing a few blankets before getting some coffee and hot chocolate for everyone as headed back he ran into a girl with dirty blonde hair talking to Danny, "Danno, changing teams?"

He rolled his eyes at his partner, "Steven, actually this is Bryan's friend Jessica we met the other day."

Matt turned to face her waving, "Hi Jess."

She smiled as gave him a hug, "Nice to see that you're feeling a lot better."

He blushed as kissed his cheek, "Thank you for the card and puppy."

"I saw that stuffed puppy and thought of you right away."

During the game, Bryan had thrown three touchdowns and ended up leaping over a few players of the other team that was coming at him ended up scoring the winning touchdown. He smirked as he got a few pats on the back from his team mates after he got out of the shower not surprised to see Steve's truck was parked next to the gym room as he hopped inside, "What you think?"

Matt smiled at his uncle as handed him a cup of hot chocolate, "The game was so cool to watch but a little cold outside."

He sipped his drink, "Well, with that storm coming in one of these days seems the weather is doing that."

"Daddy can we go out to dinner?"

Steve looked at Catherine who shrugged as he pulled into the café not far from the house and grabbed the carrier where a waitress smiled as she passed around a menu for everyone, "Good evening, I am Kylie can I get you all something to drink?"

"I will have a coke," Bryan told her.

"I want chocolate milk," Matt said.

Steve shook his head, "He will have a white milk and will have a coffee."

Catherine yawned, "I will have a tea."

"So what's this I hear about Jess and you maybe a couple?"

He covered his mouth, "I have no idea what you're talking about bro were just friends."

"That doesn't seem to be what you two are acting like," he said smirking. "And what some of the kids were talking about at the game."

"Bro, you're talking about a few teenage girls who seem to want anyone on the football team all to themselves."

Catherine knew what that meant, "They aren't to happy someone outside the circle of cheerleaders is getting more than a glance by the QB?"

"Jess can handle them herself after all her dad has taught her how to fight," he told them as the food came and they ate in silence and after getting some cake for dessert and decided would be nice to take a walk along the beach with each other. Steve set the carrier in the stroller as swept Matt into his arms, "Haven't done this in a while."

Matt buried his head in his father's shoulder as started off to sleep as kissed Catherine, "Should do this more," she leaned into his side.

Bryan took a picture, "Considering that we live on the beach we don't do this."

By the time that they arrived home Steve carried both the little kids inside and noticed that someone was asleep on the couch and headed upstairs and by the time he came back down their visitor was sitting up drinking a bottle of water, "Mary, what you doing here?"

She wrapped her arms around her brother sniffling, "Just something happened and best place thought to come."

He kissed the top of her head, "You know always welcomed here but what's going on?"

"I have been getting the feeling that someone had been following me while in Los Angeles and contacted that Seal friend of yours that lives there and he got the same feeling but we got nowhere on who was behind it so decided to fly home and seeing that you have a long reach out here."

He chuckled, "Get some sleep and will talk to Sam about this in the morning."

She hugged him again as both headed upstairs and turned in doorway, "Thanks Steve," she never told him how much more safer she felt when something was bothering her that she flew back home to make sure that everything would end up better just being around him. "I love you."

He hugged her again, "I love you too now get some sleep."
