Steve went home that day but couldn't sleep. The next three day he returned to the hospital to know out how the boy was.
Danny came to headquarters and Steve was not there.
Did Steve talk to any of you? He did not come to work. This is strange, he always calls when he does not come. Danny said.
He went to the hospital. He's very upset about that case. Said Júnior.
It's true. Tani said.
He's feeling guilty. And this is not good. Lou said.
This isn't good and I'm afraid of what he can do. He is very impulsive. Danny said.
At that moment, a nice woman arrived at the Five-0 headquarters.
Good morning. My name is Loane and I have a meeting with Steve. He phoned me and said he was on the way and that I could wait for him in his office.
Nice to meet you, Loane. My name is Daniel Williams. Come with me, please. Danny said, taking her to Steve's office.
Wow! What woman! Lou said to Junior.
You guys are so pathetic. Tani said, jealous.
But I didn't say anything, Tani. Said Junior, defending himself.
Some time later Steve arrived.
Good Morning. Steve said and went straight to his office.
Good Morning. Sorry for the delay, Loane.
Good morning, Steve. Don't worry about it. Loane said.
Good morning, Steve. Danny said.
Good morning, Danny. Can you excuse us? I want to talk to Loane in private.
Okay, said Danny, leaving.
Steve talked to Loane for almost an hour and left his team curious.
When she left, they all looked at Steve.
What? Steve asked.
Having date in the office? Danny asked.
This was not a date. Loane's the wife of a friend. I hired her as my lawyer. Steve said going to his office.
Danny followed Steve.
Why do you need a lawyer?
Steve thought before he answered.
Wait, wait. You'll not do what I'm thinking. You're not going to adopt that child. Danny said.
I'll adopt him. And Loane will help me with that. I know it will not be easy because I caused his mother's death. But I'll not give it up.
Steve, you're not thinking. His parents were bad guys. Imagine if you adopted every thug son who died in confrontation with us. His home would be a nursery school.
Danny, I'm reasoning very well. This child doesn't have anyone else in the world. He goes to an orphanage as soon as he leaves the hospital. He's physically disabled. He has convulsions. What are his chances of being adopted? Almost none.
Steve, you can't adopt a child because you feel guilty. To adopt a child you need to love it. Danny said.
And why do you think I can't love him?
Steve, a sick child needs full attention, you need to have the time and money to care for a special child. And what does Lynn think of it?
Who is going to adopt it's me, and not Lynn. Steve said.
But it will influence your life with her. Danny said.
Steve was irritably.
Guys, come here. Said Danny calling the rest of the team.
Lou, Junior, Tani and Jerry went to Steve's office.
Steve wants to adopt that boy. The boy can't walk, he has neurological problems. Tell him not to do that.
I don't know if you want our opinion, but it's a noble gesture. But make no mistake, Steve. It will not be easy, especially for you who don't have a wife to help you care for this child. Lou said.
I really appreciate your opinion, but I've already made my decision.
I don't support you in that decision. Danny said.
I don't expect anyone to support me. There is only one person in this world who always supported me unconditionally. Steve said.
But she's not here anymore! She doesn't want to be here! Danny said.
Danny's last words hurt Steve.
Leave me alone, please! Steve said, upset.
In the afternoon, Steve went back to the hospital.
Hey, Jimmy. I came back to see you, buddy.
Jimmy smiled at Steve and held out his small arms to him.
Come here, buddy. We're going to be a happy family. Just you and me.
