Kaylee got used to living with her big sister fairly easily. Sure there were moments where Kaylee would miss her mother or Laura wouldn't know what to do but they were becoming fewer and father in between.
It had been a month since the day Kaylee had walked into Remington Steele investigations looking for family and everyone had been happier since. Mildred had gotten a new conspirator in her plot to finally get Remington and Laura to admit there feelings, Harry had gotten a girl he was so proud of and practically thought of as his own daughter, Laura had gotten a best friend that she could tell everything to...even her true feelings for her partner, and Kaylee had finally gotten the family she had spent years dreaming about.
"Good morning Mildred!" The two girls choursed as they walked through the doors. Laura made a bee line for her office while Kaylee loitered by Mildreds desk.
"No school today?" The older woman asked with a skeptical eyebrow.
"My class was going on the stupidest field trip today. We were gonna go to a zoo. Like I haven't been to those a thousand times." she complained rolling her eyes, "So Laura decided to be the awesome person she is and kept me home today so I get to hang out with you, her, and Harry all day!"
"Sounds like fun kiddo." Mildred said putting down the expense report she had been reviewing.
"Much more so than 'don't touch that, don't eat that, don't do that' all day!" Kaylee said making Mildred laugh.
The two girls continued to chat until the front door was pushed open and Mr. Steele came flouncing in. He greeted Mildred and was on his way to his office when he stopped dead in his tracks and backed up until he was face to face with Kaylee, "Why aren't you in school?"
"Crappy field trip plus best sister ever equals no school for me!" Kaylee said happily.
"Oh. Okay." he said with a shrug. This time instead of going to his office he redirected himself to Laura's.
"Okay so as I was saying." Kaylee said turning back to face Mildred, "Harry came over last night and made us dinner. I had had play practice earlier so I was 'tired' and went to bed early." she explained rolling her eyes to show she hadn't actually gone to sleep, "I stayed up for a while just chilling then I heard Laura yell 'what' really really loud..." Kaylee said drawing out the last three words.
"What happened? What was it? Oh this has to be good!" Mildred said divulging in her only source of office gossip.
"Well I very discreetly got a hiding place where I could see them. Laura's eyes were absolutely huge and her hands were covering her mouth. Harry had this like...I guessed it was like panicked but optomistic look on his face-" Kaylee tryed to explain but was quickly cut off by Mildred
"OH MY GOD!" Mildred said as her eyes grew wide too and her hands flew to her mouth. Then her voice lowered to a whisper, "Did they get engaged?"
"Mildred!" Kaylee announced exasperated. She threw her head back and counted to three so she could regain her patience befor continueing, "If that had happened I wouldn't have waited a day to tell you!"
"I guess not." the older woman admitted sheepishly
"Okay so they were like just staring at each other you know? It was real intense. So Harry gets more and more anxious until he finally just sighs and asks 'Well?' and all Laura can say back is 'Oh my God' I guess she was still in shock. Harry started to look really sad then like a kid who just got his puppy taken away. I seriously wanted to yell at Laura but I didn't have to. She like snapped out of her trance then and threw her arms around him and buried her face in his neck and saying thank you over and over again. I think I might have even heard her call him Harry once and I was like freaking out by now." Kaylee was getting to her favorite part of the story so she paused for dramatic emphasis.
"What was it Kaylee? C'mon don't leave me hangin'!" Mildred begged.
Just as Kaylee opened her mouth to continue the doors to the agency were pushed opened with a flourish and a man in a cheap looking suit with a clip board walked in, "Excuse me?" he interupted.
Mildred rolled her eyes but answered the man politely, even if her voice was a tiny bit more icy than usual, "How may I help you?"
"I need to speak to a Miss Laura Holt? Is she in?" The man asked while observing his surroundings.
"Depends who's asking." Mildred said suddenly becoming defensive.
"Oh right." the man said digging around in his pockets for a moment. He finally produced a badge and shoved it in her face, "Gary White, social services. I'm here for a surprise interview."
"Oh!" Kaylee said a little shocked, "Ummm she and Mr. Steele are in her office at the moment. I'll go get them!"
Kaylee quickly spun on her heel and headed for her older sister's office door. Without thinking she just threw the door open and saw Laura sitting on her desk while she and Harry were making out. They broke apart when the door opened, "Woops." Kaylee whispered before backing out the door. She turned to find the two adults glancing at her curiously, "They'll uh just be a minute." she said awkwardly.
The man nodded his head and sat on one of the spare chairs, "So kiddo you never told me what happened next. Why was she so happy? What did he ask?"
The voice that answered shocked the three that were in the room, "He asked if Kaylee and I wanted to move into the house he just bought...with him!" Laura said happily.
