Chapter 2
Lexi was starting to get confused by the way that Steve was looking at her and her mother. She knew that her dad lived in Hawaii but she did not know who he is. The man that has been with her and her mother knelt down in front of her.
"It is okay. I want you to meet someone." the man said to her.
"Don't! This is not the right time to do this. You are scaring my daughter." She responded to him as Steve just stand there looking at her.
"Okay, I really need someone to tell me what is going on but first I need you to step away from that little girl. She is scared. Let me talk to her." Steve said to the man.
The man smiled when he saw Steve step up to protect his daughter. He knew that the minute that he figured out that she was his. He would be upset with his ex-wife.
"Okay, You can talk to her for a minute." The man smiled at him. Steve was a little confused about what was going on but needed to get the little girl away from him. Steve walked closer to her and gave her a small smile.
"It is okay sweet girl. You are going to be okay." Steve said to her. "What is your name?"
"Lexi." She said to him.
"Let me guess that your mommy is over there. How old are you?" Steve asked her.
"I'm five almost six." She responded to him.
Marissa had no other choice but to stand there and watched her ex talk to their daughter. She knew that he was going to have to be old that their daughter was his. She also knew that they were going to have to make it out.
Steve was starting to put the pieces together now that he knew how old the little girl was. She just had to be his daughter. He knew that the minute that they got out of there. He and Marissa were going to have a sit down. It was important to make sure that this little girl was actually his. He wanted to keep them both safe.
The man grabbed Steve and pulled him aside. He knew that Steve was a smart man and would figure this out one way or another.
"So have you figured out why I call you over here?" the man asked Steve as Marissa watched him.
"Yes, you need to let the girls go and just talk to me." Steve reasoned with him.
"Not until she reveals the truth about that little girl to you. You have the right to know about her." the man revealed to him.
"That little girl is between me and Marissa not you. She will reveal when she is ready. You just need to let us go." Steve countered his reason. The man knew that Steve was right about it.
"I just want the truth to come out right now. You have the right to know." He revealed again before Marissa walked over to them.
"Steve, it is the only way that he will let us go." Marissa said to him. "He is right that you have the right to know about her. She is your daughter."
"What?" Steve asked confused. He was surprised that she had given birth without tell him. He had already figured out that there was a chance that he was her father.
"Steve, I am so sorry for keeping this from you." She said to him.
"Why did you not tell me that you were pregnant?" Steve responded to her.
"Would it make a difference we were already getting a divorce?" She countered back to her ex as the man left the house.
"It would have. Marissa, I never wanted to get a divorce. I did it to keep you safe." Steve fought back to her.
"No you did it because you thought that it was best since Wo Fat kidnapped Jenna's fiancé only to turn around to kill him and used that to lure Jenna to get you." She revealed the reason that he left her.
"Good thing that Wo Fat is dead so we can work out something with our daughter." Steve said before leaving the room. He was happy that Lexi did not find out that he was her father.
"Mommy, who was that man? Is he coming back?" Lexi asked her mother.
"He is one of my friends and yes, he will be coming back." Marissa knew that her daughter was not ready to hear that Steve was her father and she was okay with waiting until they could talk about it.
Steve arrived back at HQ about twenty minutes later to find Danny waiting for him. Marissa had called Danny to let him know what happen.
"Hey are you okay?" Danny asked him as he walked over to the front door.
"I am fine." Steve lied to his friend. He was not ready to talk about this.
Danny could tell that his friend was not fine with learning that he had a child. He really hoped that Steve would not find out that he knew about the little girl and worse that he knew that she was his child. He decided to give Steve time.
Later that night
Steve arrived back to his place and still trying to figure out he wanted to face this. He knew that he needed to keep his feelings in line towards Marissa in front of their daughter. He did not want to upset her.
