Catherine went to Jimmy's room and Steve was wearing the boy.
Catherine smiled as she saw Steve wearing Jimmy carefully.
Am I handsome, Aunt Cath?
You look very handsome, my dear.
Jimmy smiled.
The team is going to get together for dinner tonight. I thought I'd invite you to go with me, but by the time I got to home, Rose already was ready to leave. I didn't want to ask her to stay with Jimmy.
It's a tempting invitation, Steve. I really like them. Why can't we take Jimmy? Is not it a family environment? Catherine asked.
Yes, it's a family environment, but I'd rather not take Jimmy.
Jimmy looked at Steve with a sad face.
Ah, come on, Steve. I'll take care of Jimmy.
I don't know if we should do this, Cath.
Come to the door, Steve. Please. Catherine said.
Just wait a minute, son. Disss Steve to Jimmy.
Steve went to the door of the room with Catherine.
Why don't you want to take him Steve?
Catherine, I didn't have their support when I adopted Jimmy.
Then show them they were wrong, that you're perfectly capable of taking care of Jimmy. You can't hide him, Steve. Jimmy can't be penalized by the prejudice of other people.
Steve didn't answer.
Okay. Let's leave it for another day. Catherine said.
Steve realized that Catherine was disappointed.
All right, Catherine. Let's take Jimmy with us.
That's great, Steve. I'm going to dress Jimmy to go out with us. Catherine said, giving Steve a quick kiss.
Jimmy, honey, let's change clothes again. Catherine said.
Why Aunt Cath?
Because we're going out to eat, me and you and Dad. It's going to be very good, Jimmy.
Jimmy smiled.
Steve came to the restaurant with Catherine and Jimmy. The team spotted them and waved at them.
Steve was with Jimmy on his lap.
Good evening. Is there a place at the table for us?
Steve asked.
Of course, boss. Feel free. Tani said.
Good evening, people. Catherine said.
Catherine, it's good to see you. It's been a long time. Danny said.
It's good to see you too, Danny. Catherine said as she sat down.
Steve put Jimmy between Catherine and him.
Say good night, Jimmy. Catherine said.
Good evening. Jimmy said ,shyly.
What do you want to eat, dear? Catherine asked.
I don't know, Aunt Cath.
So let's choose. Catherine said, picking up the menu.
Steve was glad to see that Catherine treated Jimmy so well.
He was feeling like they were a family.
They all dined and were talking excitedly.
Steve, can we go to the bar? Danny said.
Of course, Danny. Steve said.
Danny got up and walked toward the bar.
I'll be right back. Steve said to Catherine.
OK. Catherine said, looking at Danny. She knew Danny didn't forgive her for leaving Steve.
Danny ordered two more beers.
Why did you call me here, Danny?
It's nothing.
Say what you want to say. Steve said.
Look, Steve! Danny pointed at Catherine and Jimmy.
Jimmy was almost asleep sitting up. Catherine picked him up and sat him on his lap.
Are you sleepy, Jimmy? Catherine asked, kissing his forehead.
Yes, Aunt Cath. Jimmy said, falling asleep then.
Jimmy clearly likes Catherine! Said Danny.
Yeah, Jimmy really likes her. And I'm sure she likes him, too. Said Steve.
What will you do when she leaves again? The boy will miss her. You shouldn't let her get so close to him.
Danny, Jimmy is already deprived of so many things, I'll not deprive him of affection. Catherine treats him with great affection.
You never listen to me. Then don't come cry on my shoulder. Said Danny.
I didn't cry on your shoulder when she left. I cried alone.
But me and the team had to put up with a sad and nervous Steve.
It's all right. Steve said going back to the table.
Steve, Jimmy slept. Can we leave? Catherine asked.
It is still early. Stay a little longer. Said Júnior.
We're going home. Jimmy has bedtime. Steve said, taking Jimmy from Catherine's lap.
It was great having dinner with you guys. Good night. Catherine said, smiling.
Good night. Lou, Tani and Junior said. Danny remained at the bar.
See you tomorrow. Steve said to the team.
Did you like dinner? Steve asked Catherine when they were in the car, going home.
Yes, Steve. I really enjoy their company, although I miss Chin and Kono. Catherine said.
Yeah, I miss them, too.
When they got home, Steve took Jimmy out of the car and laid him on the bed to sleep. Eddie soon settled into the rug next to Jimmy's bed.
Thanks buddy. Steve said to Eddie.
Steve left Jimmy's room and couldn't resist the urge to knock on Catherine's bedroom door.
Come in, Steve.
Steve came in and saw Catherine stirring in her suitcase. His heart shuddered, because he thought she was leaving again.
What are you doing? Steve asked.
I'm looking for some light sleepwear.
Cath, you left the CIA. What do you intend to do now? Where are you going?
You want to kick me out of your house, Steve?
No. Of course not, Catherine. It's wonderful to have you here.
Same?
Yes. I must confess to you that I thought not to return your purse so you wouldn't leave.
Catherine looked him in the eye.
If you don't want me to leave, just tell me. Catherine said.
I don't want you to leave. Steve said, putting his hand on her neck and pulling her into a fiery kiss.
