Catherine felt an inexplicable emotion invade her heart when she heard Jimmy call her Mommy.

Jimmy, my dear boy! You're very special to me too. Catherine said stroking his hair.

Catherine looked at Eddie.

Eddie, I'm sorry. I'm not distrustful of you, but I'm going to sleep here with you today. We're both gonna take care of Jimmy tonight, okay?

Catherine smiled.

Oh my God! Now I'm talking to a dog. But it's better to talk to a dog than to a wall, as I have done so many times, when I felt alone.

Catherine woke up in the middle of the night with Eddie barking.

Eddie, what is it? Jimmy?

Catherine heard Jimmy cry softly.

Jimmy, why are you crying?

Aunt Cath, don't fight me.

Of course I'm not going to fight you, my love. What happened?

I peed in bed. Jimmy said, embarrassed.

Catherine checked Jimmy.

Your diaper leaked, my love. But there's no problem. I'll bath you and change the bed sheet, okay? You don't need to cry.

After Jimmy had showered, Catherine cleaned his bed.

She put Jimmy back on the bed.

Ready, dear. You're dry and hot again. This is not good?

Yes. Jimmy said.

OK. Now let's go to sleep again. Catherine said.

Auntie Cath?

Yes, Jimmy?

Where is your house?

I've lived in several places, but I don't have a home, Jimmy.

Not?

No. Catherine said.

So you can live with Daddy, me and Eddie! Jimmy said excitedly.

Really, honey? Can I live with you?

You can. I'm going to ask daddy to let you live with us.

Catherine smiled, with Jimmy's innocence.

OK. But now it's bedtime! Goodnight My Love.

Goodnight, my love. Answered Jimmy.

Oh, you're lovely! Steve is very lucky to have you as his Son. Said Catherine, smiling.

Jimmy slept and Catherine went to Steve's room. Eddie showed her that she could trust him to alert her if anything happened to Jimmy.

Steve came home and entered quietly because he didn't want to wake Jimmy or Catherine.

Catherine lay on his bed, feeling his scent on the pillow as her phone rang.

She was surprised when she saw who was calling her. She answered the call and put the phone on the speaker.

Doris?

Hello, Catherine. Where are you?

What happened, Doris?

The agency wants you to come back. They have an unmissable proposal for you.

Steve heard the conversation and stopped at the door of the room.

Say no, Catherine. Please! He thought.

Doris, no. I'm not going back to the CIA. I already have a Unmissable proposal that I received ten minutes ago.

Which proposal? Asked Doris.

Of a three-year-old boy.

What? Asked Doris, laughing.

I'm with Steve, Doris. And I'm very, very happy. I'll not ruin this again. I don't go back to the CIA. Never more.

Oh, really? Why didn't you tell me that soon? I'm very happy that you are together again. But what three-year-old boy is that?

It's your grandson. Steve adopted him. And we also have a dog, Eddie. Things have changed a lot here, Doris. You should come see this. Steve will like your visit.

I'll, Catherine. I'll, I just can't say when.

Okay, Doris. We'll wait for you.

Okay, Catherine. Tell Steve I love him.

I'll tell him, Doris. Bye.

Bye, Catherine.

Steve smiled. She doesn't want to leave. He thought.

Hey. He said, entering the room.

Hey. I didn't hear you come in. I thought you would only come back at the end of that day. Did you find the Governor's family?

Yes, we managed to find them.

That's nice. Catherine said smiling.

Steve just nodded.

Come here! Catherine said.

Steve lay down next to her and she kissed him.

It's great to be welcomed like this. Steve said.

IS? Catherine kissed him again.

I heard your conversation with my mother. I'm sorry, but I couldn't help listening.

It's all right. No problem.

I'm very, very happy with you too. Steve said.

Catherine smiled.

CIA never more ? He asked.

Never more !

I'm curious to know what Jimmy proposed to you. Steve said.

Jimmy invited me to live with you, he and Eddie. He also called me mommy. This was so cute.

My boy is very intelligent. Steve said, smiling.

Yes, he is. We need to talk about him. Catherine said.

Did you talk to Mary? Steve asked.

Why?

Because Mary always wants to talk about Jimmy.

No. I don't talked her. But rest now. We'll talk later. Said Catherine.

Right now, I don't want to rest or even talk. I just want you. Steve said.

Then come, my commander ... I'm here ...
