Hello all! Thank you all sooooo much for the adds, and reviews! I really appreciate them! I know this is short...sorry! I have been super busy lately, and haven't had a chance to write much lately. Hope you enjoy it! Love to you all! ~Rachael (Saphire Dancer) :) **

Delancey walked into the house after work and the first person she saw was Jonah.

"Momma" he cried as he launched himself at her.

She pulled him into a big hug.

"Hey baby. How was your first day of school?" she asked.

Jonah proceeded to tell her all about his first day of school. Delancey was only half listening. Her mind was on Steve and the situation with him. He hadn't returned to the office at all that day. Danny had tried to call him, but all he got was his voicemail. Delancey was worried that he might do something crazy, but Danny assured her that Steve was level headed (for the most part) and wouldn't do anything stupid.

Jonah must have sensed that she wasn't really listening and stopped talking and looked at his mother.

"Momma, what's wrong?"

Delancey was surprised at his question. She looked at her young son and thought for the millionth time how much he looked like his father.

"Nothing, baby. I am just tired. It was a long day."

She pulled Jonah into another hug. There was something about hugging him that always seemed to make her feel better.

She looked over Jonah's head and saw her father standing in the doorway of the living room.

"Jonah, can you go do your homework in your room? I need to talk to your mom."

Jonah nodded and walked out of the room.

"So, how was your first day?" Sean Martin asked his daughter.

"You knew didn't you?" she asked quietly not looking at her father yet.

"Yes, I did" her father admitted.

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"You needed to find out for yourself. If you had known he was the man you would be working for, would you have taken the job?"

Delancey looked at her father.

"No, probably not" she said feeling very defeated.

Sean came close and hugged his daughter.

"I know you are hurting, but it will be ok. Steve will come around" he assured her.

Even without her telling her father everything that had happened between her and Steve, he seemed to know.

"Thanks, Daddy" she said giving him a small smile. "I need to go take care of something. Do you mind watching Jonah for a little while?"

"No. Go do what you need to do."

Delancey walked out of the house and headed straight for Steve's house.

Steve was sitting outside in one of the beach chairs with a beer in his hand. He had been sitting there all afternoon. The only time he got up was to get another beer.

As he slowly took a sip of his beer, he heard someone walking up behind him. His body tensed as he mentally prepared to take out whoever was sneaking up on him.

"Relax Steve, it's just me" Delancey said immediately seeing his shoulders relax some.

"What do you want?" Steve asked bitterly.

Delancey sat down in the chair next to him.

"I came to apologize."

Steve looked at her and just stared at her. She was more beautiful now then she had been before. Her auburn hair was pulled back in a pony tail, reminding him of when they were younger. Her green eyes were still just as bright. And her body, "oh lord" he thought, "I can't even think about that."

"I understand why you didn't tell me before I left, but why the letter?" he asked her quietly.

Delancey stood up and walked the few steps to the beach. She kicked her shoes off and stepped into the water.

Steve watched her for a moment before he too stood up and walked to the beach. His shoes were already off, so he followed her into the water. He walked up behind her and put his arms around her slim waist.

Delancey put her hands in Steve's larger ones and leaned back into his embrace.

"I wrote you the letter because I thought it would make it easier for me to leave Hawaii and not tell you about the baby. You have no idea how wrong I was."

Steve nuzzled his face into her shoulder.

"You broke my heart with that letter" he whispered.

Dealncey turned in his arms and looked into his blue eyes.

"I'm sorry. I never meant to hurt you like that. I was so stupid to think that it would be easier. You deserved to know. I am so sorry Steve. Can you ever forgive me?"

Steve saw the tears in her eyes and heard them in her voice.

"Oh, Delancey" he said.

He lowered his head and captured her lips in a soft kiss. Her lips were just as soft as he remembered. He had missed her so much.

Delancey was shocked at first at Steve's kiss, but she was responded immediately.

What started out as a soft, sweet kiss soon turned into a frenzied, passionate kiss. Their tongues darting in and out of each others mouths, hands roaming the others body.

Steve pulled back and gently picked Delancey up and carried her toward the house.
