Thank you for all the reviews, follows, and favorites. I love reading the reviews. I hope you enjoy this chapter.

To the guest who said who said they weren't a big fan of the name Sawyer for a girl. To be honest, it wasn't my first pick but my sister (who got me into the show) after hearing Catherine call Steve Sailor said if they ever have a girl they should name her Sawyer as a play on Sailor so it stuck.

Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday went by a little to quickly for Catherine. She was excited that Sawyer would be here on the Friday but she felt like there was still so much to do to be ready. Steve's old room, would now be Sawyer's room, Steve had cleaned it completely out on Tuesday night. On Wednesday, the guys painted the room a lite purple while Kono, Gabby, Gracie, and Catherine went shopping for bedding and furniture. On Thursday, Catherine finished up the shopping for clothes while Steve finished up at the house. They met up at the house later that night.

"Hey beautiful." As Catherine entered Sawyer's room.

"You are still using that line. It looks amazing in here."

"Do you think she is going to like it?"

"Her daddy painted the room, she is going to love it."

"I can't wait to hear her say daddy every day."

"We did the right thing didn't we?"

"By bringing her. I thought we agreed her going to Italy was not an option."

"No, I mean yes we did and I want her with us more than anything. Did we do the right by letting her stay with my parents, me not retiring or not bringing her before this?"

"What brought this on?" as he pulled her on to the new bed.

"I guess telling everyone, I feel like I need to defend our decision but now I am starting to doubt if we made the right decision. Do you wish we would have done things different?"

"We don't have to defend anything, the team understands and if they don't then that is on them. Sawyer knows that we love her and we both have been there as much as possible."

"Do you wish we would have done things different?"

"There are days that I have wanted the three of us to be together, especially after seeing Danny with Gracie. I wouldn't change the fact that she is safe."

"The first TAD I got after I had her, I didn't think I would get through it. I cried every night, I wanted to quite but I knew I had to be strong."

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"You went on that damn mission and the next thing I knew Freddie and your dad were both gone. You wouldn't talk to me about it but I know you went to see Sawyer, I wasn't going to burden you with my emotions."

"I am sorry, I pushed you away and made you feel like you couldn't talk to me about how you were feeling. I didn't know how to deal with it all. I wanted to bring her back with me but I hadn't caught Hess and you weren't here. I want the three of us to be a family."

"Me too."

"Cath, we know your parents did a great job with her but now we get to be with her."

"I know you are right."

Steve went to say something else but her phone rang.

"Hey mom."

"Cath, we have a small problem."

"What's wrong?" she asked looking over at Steve.

"We had to reschedule our flights. The movers are going to be here on Sunday instead of Monday."

They were due in tomorrow afternoon and the plan was her parents would stay until Sunday afternoon. They would be moving to Italy the next week.

"So you are not coming until after that?"

"No, your father and I wouldn't do that to you or Steve. Second, I think Sawyer would flip out."

"Okay, then what is the new plan."

"Our flight leaves here at 0100 and will land at 0600, I know that it's early but I couldn't find another way."

"Mom, it's okay. Steve and I will be there to pick the three of you up. When do you and dad have to leave?"

"I know that you have a barbeque planned for Saturday but your father and I will be flying out at 1900."

Catherine looked over at Steve who looked worried.

"Mom and Dad have to fly back on Saturday night because of the movers. Mom also changed to flight here so they will arrive at 0600." She let him know what was going on.

"We can try to move the party to tomorrow night after work. I think most of the team was trying to find ways to come over tomorrow after work. Danny said he was going to have to tie Gracie down. It gives Sawyer time to rest as well as your parents."

"Mom, will that be okay?" Catherine asked, knowing her mom heard Steve.

"I don't want the two of you to go through any trouble. I know that you are excited to have Sawyer there."

"It won't be any problems and we can do something small tomorrow night. We start vacation then so the whole team will probably be here most of the weekend to swim. Is she asleep?" Catherine asked before hitting the speaker button.

"Yes, I know it's early but she will have to get up in a couple of hours and she doesn't sleep well on the plane. She is excited to come tomorrow."

"Does she understand that she is staying with Cath and me?"

"Yes, the only thing she asked about is how she will talk to us. James explained that we would skype just like she does with the two of you."

"She was okay with that?"

"Catherine, she can't wait to be with the two of you. I know that voice stop doubting yourself, Sawyer is fine and the three of you are going to fine."

"I know but I also know she is going to miss Mamaw and Papaw."

"We are going to miss her. She made sure she had all her bathing suites then started to worry that she would need more, I had to explain that if she did you would take her shopping. James told her that if we didn't talk to her a lot he would come whoop the two of you."

Steve and Catherine started to laugh.

"How did she take that?" Steve asked.

"Well she is her mother's daughter so the shopping went over well, but she tilted her and said I quote "Papaw you can't whoop mommy and daddy."

"What did daddy say?"

"He asked her why and she said because they are big and you can't whoop big people. She was so serious, I had to walk out of the room to not laugh."

"We can't for the three of you to be here."

"I know. I need to get some rest, we will see the two of you at the airport at 0600."

"Bye."

The next morning

Steve laughed as Catherine complained about the traffic they were hitting on the way to the airport. They had left a little before 0500 knowing it was plenty of time now the traffic had them running late.

"Text your mom and let her know but I bet I can get us there right on time once we hit the airport."

"Are you badging us in?" as she texted her mom.

"Absolutely." He replied with a smirk.

"You have a meeting with the governor at 0900. Are you coming home after that?" she asked trying to take her mind off the traffic.

"I'm hoping that is what is going to happen. When are you going to work on your reports?"

"While mom, dad, and Sawyer are sleeping. I'm sure all three of them are tired."

"I can take them in after you get home."

"I'll stop and pick them up after the meeting. If anything Danny will take them back with him, since Chin signs off on your reports." As he finally got to the off ramp for the airport.

"We still have a lot to figure out over the next week."

"I know and we will. Enjoy today and stop worrying."

"Ten more minutes and she will be with us." As she looked over at him.

"I'm hoping she is up."

Ten minutes later.

Catherine and Steve were standing by the baggage claim, they were both looking around to find her parents. Her mom and texted when they landed and said they were on their way to that area.

"I don't see them." Catherine told him.

Steve was going to reply but they both heard a small voice yell.

"Daddy! Mommy!" Sawyer yelled as she ran towards them.

Steve picked up Sawyer as soon as she made it to them, wrapping her in a hug.

This chapter is longer than I planned, the next chapter will start where this one left off. Please let me know what you think. I will probably not update until after the weekend.
