The next day Mary and Joan arrived at Catherine and Steve's house.

Mary, what a surprise! Catherine said embracing her.

And you, Joan? of a kiss on the aunt. Said Catherine.

Between Mary, store your things in the bedroom.

Maria, how are you, dear daughter? Doris said, coming down the stairs.

Hi Mom. I'm fine and you?.

Everything's good. Did you come to see your brother?

Yes. I came to help Catherine too.

Thank you Mary. I will not say I d'ont need, because it would be a lie. "Catherine said.

I'm going to the hospital to see him.

When I get back, I'll stay the kids so you can go. "Mary told Catherine.

All right, Mary.

Mary went to the hospital to see Steve.

Hey brother. How are you?

Hey, Mary. Thank you for coming.

What is happening, for you to call me urgently?

It's Catherine, Mary. She is destabilized, unable to look after the children alone. Mama's there, but she's driving Catherine crazy. She just wants to take care of John and complains about the girls. Grace told Danny that Doris left her alone with my children. Help Catherine, please, Mary.

Calm down Steve, do not exalt yourself. I'll help her. Doris does not care about Joan either. Which makes me believe she's always liked you better. That's why she only likes John. He is more and more like you.

Thank you Mary.

You're welcome brother. Now I'm going so that Catherine can come and see you.

Okay.

Catherine went to the hospital and Mary stayed with the children.

Hey, sailor!

Hey, my love. Come here.

Catherine went to him and gave him a soft kiss.

How are you today?

I'm better. I really want to go home. I'm losing the growth of children.

I also want you to go home soon, but only when you are recovered. I've brought some pictures for you to see.

Steve picked up her phone to see the photos.

Michelle smiling. My little princess. John, my champion, too. And Emily, my smiling little girl. I love so much.

Three weeks later, Steve was released from the hospital. Danny took him home.

When he arrived, he found the whole living room of the house festooned with balloons and welcome messages. And the babies were in their strollers waiting for him.

Catherine came to greet him with a long hug.

Welcome home, sailor.

Thank you, Cath. Said Steve kissing her.

Joan also came and hugged Steve's leg.

Hey, uncle.

Steve bent down and hugged Joan.

Hey, my little girl.

Mary hugged Steve, too.

Thank you, Mary, for everything.

And Doris, incredible as it may seem, was still there.

My dear son, it's great to see you back.

Thank you mom. Steve said.

So also the team staff was there to greet you back. Kamekona, Flipa, Grace and Charlie, Duke, Noelani and Naele were also there.

No one works anymore, no? Question Steve.

Danny, I also want to thank you for everything you've done for us. Said Catherine.

You're welcome, Catherine. It's not necessary to thank. There's a lot to eat, right? Danny said.

Yes, Danny. Feel free. Catherine said.

Let's eat, people! Danny said.

While everyone went into the yard, Lou was at the barbecue, Steve approached his babies. He sat down on the couch and Catherine brought the baby carts to him.

Hey you guys. I missed my loves, so much. Steve said with tears in his eyes.

When they heard his father's voice, they were agitated.

Look, Steve. They know it's you. They did not forget his voice. Catherine said.

And to think that I got so close to not seeing them ever again. That hurts, Cath.

I know. But that's over. You're here, that's what matters.

Steve got Emily. Put John and Michelle here. He told Catherine by opening his other arm.

Catherine put them in Steve's arms and he hugged them all.

Come here you too. Steve told Catherine.

Catherine hugged them.

Cath, knows even if I had died, I would love my family forever. What I feel for you and my sons goes beyond life ...
