Steve and Catherine woke up to the buzzer.

Who is it, Steve?

Who would ring the bell insistently? Steve said, getting dressed.

Danny! Catherine said, smiling.

Yeah. That way he's going to wake Jimmy.

I'll get dressed and go see Jimmy. Catherine said.

Okay, said Steve, kissing her quickly.

Steve went down the stairs and opened the door.

What happened, Danny?

Good morning to you too, Steve. What happened to your phone? I've been trying to reach you for two hours.

My phone must be running low on battery power. Steve said.

The Governor called me. Her sister, her brother-in-law and her niece are missing. She's demanding our presence.

Okay, Danny. Give me a few minutes to take a shower and change clothes.

Catherine went downstairs.

Good morning, Danny.

Good morning, Catherine.

Jimmy didn't wake up, Steve. He's still sleeping like an angel.

Good. Catherine, I'm going to have to go work with Danny. Can you make Jimmy's breakfast? Rose only arrives at 8:00 AM.

Sure, no problem. But what happened?

Family members of Mrs. Governadora are missing.

Wow! Catherine said.

I'll be right back. Steve said, going upstairs.

Catherine looked at Danny.

Sit down, Danny.

No, I'm fine, Catherine.

You look nervous. Catherine said.

I don't like these complex cases because we don't have time to back home. Danny said.

That's true. Catherine said.

And so, Catherine? How is your relationship with the boy?

Jimmy? Oh, Jimmy's lovely. Catherine said.

A few minutes later Steve came downstairs, ready to leave.

Are not you going to eat anything before you leave? Catherine asked.

No, Cath.

Steve came over and kissed her.

Be Safe! Catherine said.

For you, always!

I loved our night together. Catherine whispered in his ear.

Steve smiled.

Come on, Danny!

Goodbye, Catherine. Danny said, leaving.

Goodbye, Danny. Be safe you too. Catherine said.

Thank you. Answered Danny.

Catherine cleared the Steve's room as she waited for Jimmy to wake up.

For her, it was like a dream to be with Steve again.

Oh, what a wonderful night, Catherine! She said to herself.

Steve and Danny were in the car.

Danny looked at Steve and smiled.

What? Steve asked.

It's been so long since I've seen this stupid smile on your face.

Steve smiled.

What does she think about Jimmy's adoption?

Do you remember when I told you that there was only one person in the world who supported me unconditionally? Said Steve.

Jimmy woke up calling for Steve.

Catherine went to Jimmy's room.

Good morning my love! Dad needed to get to work early today, dear. Catherine said.

Good morning, Aunt Cath.

We will have breakfast? I'll prepare something delicious for you to eat.

First you have to take off my diaper, Aunt Cath.

Oh, it's true, honey. I forgot. Catherine said, taking his diaper off.

Rose arrived when Jimmy was finishing breakfast with Catherine.

Hello, good morning ! Rose said.

Good morning, Rose. Catherine said, smiling.

Good morning, Aunt Rose. Jimmy said, pulling her to kiss her cheek.

Rose,Jimmy and me are going to the bank and then I'm going to have lunch with him. If you want to go home early, that's okay. Catherine said.

I'll take advantage and clean the house. Rose said.

Okay. You're the one who decides. Catherine said.

Does the boss know you're going out with Jimmy?

No, Rose. I didn't talk to him. But I don't think he will care. Catherine said.

Catherine went to the bank with Jimmy, then took him to lunch at the Kamekona trailer and strolled with him on the beach.

Did you like to go out with me, my love? Catherine asked.

I liked it, Auntie Cath. Jimmy said with a smile.

Let's go home now? Catherine asked.

Let's go.

Catherine took a cab. As the cab pulled up in front of a square where several children were playing, Catherine saw Jimmy's eyes shine.

Do you want to go there, Jimmy?

Can I, Aunt Cath?

Of course yes, dear.

You can leave us here, please. Catherine told the driver.

Jimmy was shy around the other kids.

Catherine took him to the toys and he was afraid.

I'll not let you fall, my love. Don't you trust Aunt Cath? Catherine asked.

Jimmy shook his head, saying yes.

A boy came over to play with Jimmy, making him more comfortable.

The boy toyed with Jimmy respecting his limitations. The boy's mother approached Catherine.

Hey, my name is Lesley. I'm Ryan's mother, who's playing with your son.

Hey, I'm Catherine. Nice to meet you, Lesley.

Nice to meet you too, Catherine. I'm sorry, but I couldn't help noticing that your child has physical limitations.

Yes, he does. He's not exactly my son, but I like him like he was my son. He's Jimmy, my boyfriend's son. Catherine said, wondering if that was the status of her relationship with Steve.

So, Catherine. I work in a rehab clinic. Wouldn't you or his father want to take him for an evaluation?

Catherine looked at Jimmy.

Yes I would like.

I'll give you my card, look me in the clinic. Maybe we can help him in some way. Lesley said, taking a card from her purse.

Thank you, Lesley. Catherine said.

Saturday is Ryan's birthday. I'm going to have a little party for him. I also invited some children who are patients of the clinic. You and Jimmy are invited, too.

Thank you, Lesley. It will be good for Jimmy, playing with other kids that also has some limitation.

I'll wait for you. Lesley said, being nice.

Thanks.

Jimmy and Ryan played a lot and Jimmy was losing his fear of the toys. Catherine put him in the toys and he had a lot of Fun.

Catherine walked home with Jimmy on her lap because the square wasn't far from home.

If Daddy's expecting us on the porch, it's because we're in trouble, Jimmy.

But Steve didn't was home.

Wow, but like Jimmy's dirty. What happened? Rose asked.

He played in the square with other children. He even met a friend. Tell Rose what your friend's name is, Jimmy.

It's Ryan. Jimmy said, smiling.

That's cool, Jimmy. I'm very happy that you have a friend. Rose said.

I'm going to give a shower on this dirty little boy. Rose said, taking Jimmy from Catherine's lap.

Thank you, Rose. After give showering him, you can go home.

OK thank you. Rose said.

Catherine went to the kitchen to get some water when Steve called her.

Hey, Cath.

Hey, miss you. Catherine said.

Me too. I can not stop thinking about our night. I really wanted to repeat it. But I don't think I'm coming home tonight.

What? How so? Who's the slut? Catherine said, faking indignation.

No, Catherine. It's not that. I couldn't resolve the case of the Governor's family. Steve said, explaining to Catherine.

I know, I'm kidding with you. Said Catherine, smiling.

Steve smiled.

How's my boy? Steve asked.

He is fine. Rose is bathing him.

Okay. Tell him I love him.

I say. Catherine said.

I love you too, so much. Steve said to her.

I love you too. Love, love, love.

Bye, Cath. Said Steve, smiling.

Bye, Steve. Be safe. I'll wait for you tomorrow.

After dinner, Catherine put Jimmy on the bed. He was very tired.

Goodnight My Love. Sleep well. Catherine said, kissing his cheek.

Good night Mommy. Jimmy said, falling asleep next ...
