Hey, Catherine.
Hey, Doris! How many years haven't we seen each other! Catherine said, hugging her.
It's true, Catherine. I hope Steve receives me as well as you do.
He'll be very happy to see you, Doris.
Will it really?
Of course yes. I know my husband, Doris. He'll be happy!
Dóris had aged well. And she actually seemed happy to be back.
Where is Steve?
He's in the hospital with our little girl.
Do you and Steve have a daughter?
Yes. And we also have two boys.
Seriously? I thought you only had the boy adopted.
Yes, but don't talk like that, Doris. He's my son, no matter if he's adopted.
Sorry, Catherine. And what happened to my little granddaughter?
She was shot, Doris. Steve's in the hospital with her.
Oh my God! How did this happen Catherine?
I'll tell you everything, Dóris . But first let's get your bags and go inside. You can't stand here on the porch.
You're right, Catherine.
Catherine helped Doris pick up her bags and took it to the Annye's room.
This room is so beautiful! Said Doris.
This is Annye's room.
Doris looked at the Picture Frame on the nightstand.
Is it my little granddaughter?
Yes, Dóris. It's Annye. Catherine said.
She's beautiful, Catherine!
Yes. My daughter is really beautiful. I need go to the hospital to see her. Will you be all right, Doris?
Of course, Catherine. Go see your little girl. I'm fine.
Annye was shot yesterday in an assault on the toy store. She was surgery and Steve stayed with her. I'm going to the hospital now so he can come home and rest.
I'm so sorry, Catherine. She'll be fine. She's going to meet her grandmother. Said Dóris, hugging Catherine.
Thank you, Dóris. The boys are sleeping. When they wake up, Tell them I went to see Annye. Said Catherine.
I can't wait to meet them. Call me to tell me about my granddaughter.
OK. See you later. Said Catherine, leaving the house.
At the hospital, Annye woke up startled.
Mommy!
Steve was napping sitting next to her and woke up startled.
Hey, little princess!
Dad, it hurts here. Annye said putting her hand on the surgery site.
I know my love. Wait a minute.
Nurse, she woke up and is in pain.
The nurse gave her pain medicine and changed her dressings.
Where's mommy?
Catherine will be here soon, daughter.
I want to go home, Daddy.
I know my love. But you're going to have to stay here for a few days.
Catherine sent a message to Steve's phone, saying she had arrived.
Little princess, Mommy came. I need to get out so she can come in. All right?
All right, Daddy.
I love you, Annye. Steve said, kissing the girl's forehead.
Steve left CTI and found Catherine in the hallway.
They hugged each other affectionately.
How is she?
She woke up, Cath, and asked for you. She is in pain, but the nurse has already applied the medicine in her serum.
Okay. Go home and rest. Reassure the boys. And I left you a huge surprise at home. Catherine said smiling.
What? He asked curiously.
If I say it, it will not be a surprise any more. Now go, I'm going to see our daughter.
I love you, Cath. Steve said kissing her cheek.
I love you too, sailor.
Steve went home and Catherine went to Annye.
Hello my love! Mommy came to take care of you. Catherine said smiling at Annye.
Hello my dear mama! Annye said, smiling.
Steve came home and heard a noise in the kitchen. He thought it was the boys. He did not believe it when he saw Doris preparing breakfast.
Mom?
Hey, Steve!
Steve came over and hugged her.
Mom, it's good to see you! How I've been thinking about you lately. I thought we'd never see each other again.
I've thought a lot about you and Mary, too, lately. I'm back to stay, Steve. I don't want to die away from my family. I spent three weeks with Mary, but there is no more place for me in Mary's life. Is there room for me in your life? Asked Doris, with emotion.
Yes, of course. Come here. Steve said, hugging her again.
Thank you, son. I'm proud of you. You're a father, you've formed a beautiful family with Catherine.
Yes. Have you met the boys?
I went to their room and looked at them quickly. Both are gorgeous! My granddaughter is also the most beautiful girl in the world. I saw her picture. She's very cute. How is she?
She woke up this morning. She'll be fine.
Sit down to have breakfast with me. Said Doris.
Okay, said Steve, smiling.
Jimmy and James woke up and searched for Catherine in her bedroom. When they did not find her, they went to the kitchen.
Good Morning!
Good morning, Jimmy. Good morning, James. I want you guys to meet your grandmother Doris, my mother.
Doris got up and hugged Jimmy and then James.
It's nice to meet you both. Doris said.
It's nice to meet you too, Grandma. The boys said.
Steve was very happy. Now his family was complete. His wife, his children and his mother. Despite what happened to Annye, despite Jimmy's health problems, he just had to thank God.
Somewhere in the world a group of men were gathered.
Our boss was captured in Hawaii a month ago by a man named Steve McGarrett.
He put on the screen a picture of Steve with Catherine, Jimmy, James and Annye.
We'll hit him in your weak spot. We need a plan ...
PS: Laura, I'm thinking fondly at your suggestion about a new story.
