Author Note: I hope that you enjoy this chapter. I know that it has been since early December since I posted on this chapter. Life has been super busy with family and friends. I also had been super busy with work. Lucky we have one day off this week so I can write this chapter.

Chapter 4

Christmas was really good for both Steve and Marissa. They managed to get a lot of time off of work to spend with their daughter. Their relationship had been going good. Steve and Marissa would switched between staying at her and his house.

"I am really glad that we are finally making our relationship work again." Steve said to her. He had been thinking about asking the girls to move in with him since they were always together in the first place when they were not at work. Danny walked into the office and smiled at his friend. He knew that his friend was happy about what was going on between him and Marissa.

"Hey, How is the relationship going with Marissa?" Danny asked his friend. He was joking about it.

"It is going pretty well. I am thinking about Valentine's day doing something special for her." Steve responded to his friend.

"What are you thinking about doing?" Danny asked his friend.

"That is where I am stuck right now. I do not know what to do." Steve responded to him. "I just need to think about what to do."

"Okay, what do you want to do?' Danny asked his friend. Before Steve got a chance to answer, his cell phone went off. He went to go get check the caller id.

"It's Lexi's daycare." Steve said to his friend.

"Go take the call." Danny responded to his friend as he walked out of the office. Danny was a little worried about what was going on with Marissa. Steve was on the call before running out of the office. "Steve wait up."

They got into the truck and head over to the daycare. Steve kept trying to get a hold of her but there was no answer. Right as they pulled into the parking lot, Marissa finally answered her phone.

"Hey babe." She said to him. "What is going on?"

"Lexi is sick and so I am getting her from the daycare." He responded to her.

"Do you want me to meet you at headquarters to pick her up?" She asked him.

"Yes. I have to go into a meeting with the Governor in about an hour." He responded to her.

"Okay, I will meet you there." She responded to him before hanging up.

Steve still did not know where she had been and he did not get a chance to asked her before the hang up. He walked into the daycare and picked up his little girl. He walked back to the truck with a sleeping Lexi. They loaded up in the truck and headed back to headquarters. Steve was now in a bad mood since he did not know where her mother was at. By the time that they got there, Marissa was just pulling up.

"Wait to take her out and talk to Marissa." Danny said to his friend because he knew that Steve was upset at her. He wanted to make sure that Steve said something.

"I know and that is what I am planning to do." He said as he turned off the engine. Marissa could see the way that Steve was looking that he was not to happy with her.

"Hey." She said to him. She was not expecting him to smile.

"Where were you? The daycare said that they were trying to get a hold of you for about twenty times before getting ahold of me." Steve said to her. He needed an explaintion about where she had gone because of the lack of communication that she had shared with the daycare.

"Okay, I know that I should have told you that I had an interview for a new job today but I forgot to say that this morning. I am sorry. Is she okay?" She asked him as he gave her a small smile.

"Yeah. She is okay. She is not feeling good right now." Steve responded to her. As they walked over to get their daughter out of his truck.

"Will we see you later?" Marissa asked him.

"Yeah." Steve said before giving her a small kiss. He watched as the girls loaded up in the car. He hoped that this meeting would not take two hours like the last one did had.

Author Note: I managed to get all the chapters for this current week done before the end of the weekend. I have been super busy lately and writing seems to relax me. I am trying to figure out the next story that I want to do but I think that I might want to do a one take with them not getting divorce but I am not sure. We will have to wait and see if I actually do it. Tomorrow (January 15), we are heading up North to enjoy some family time and just relax since none of us have to work tomorrow. I hope that you follow me on twitter as Carson34ff where I update when I can. I have also missed the live tweets that I used to do when the new episodes come on.
