Steves POV.

Honolulu mall.

01:45pm

"Jake what do you want to eat?" I asked him, he kept trying to get his hand out of mine.

"Can we get a McDonald's daddy?" He asked looking up at me.

"Really, you always want that Jake" I smiled then we headed towards McDonald's.

"Uncle Dan Dan" Jake yelled when we saw him and Gracie sat in McDonald's, Danny was stuffing his face with a burger and Grace was eating her chips. I placed the bags on the empty seat next to Grace.

"Hey Jakey" Danny said with a mouthful of food.

"You want chicken nuggets Jake?" I asked, he looked at me and nodded his head. I went to order the food and went to the table Danny and Grace were sat at. I placed the happy meal in front of Jake.

"You aren't going to eat all of that are you Jake" Danny smiled, Jake giggled and nodded his head.

"Uncle Steve since when do you eat McDonald's? I thought you only eat healthy food" Grace giggled.

"It's you 3 and your Auntie Caths fault" I smiled at her, then Jake squealed.

"Woah Jake shhh, what's wrong buddy?" I asked him, he started to cry. He jumped off of the seat next to Danny and ran round the table to me. I picked him up and sat him on my lap.

"I burned my mouth daddy" he said after he calmed down.

"Awh Jake, let me take a look" I said, he shook his head and buried his face in my shirt.

"No I want mommy" he mumbled then started to cry again.

"Okay let's go then" I said, standing up with him in my arms and the bags in my spare hand.

"Hey Danny could you put this in the trash please?" I asked he just nodded.

"Bye Grace" Jake said tearily. I felt him wave at her over my shoulder.

*30 minutes later*

"Hey, did my boys have fun?" Cath asked as she walked out of the kitchen with a few of Jake's toys, she placed them on the coffee table. Jake ran from my side to her.

"Hey Jakey, did you have fun with daddy?" she asked and he shook his head then nodded then shook his head again.

"What we had a lot of fun until you burnt your tongue Jake" I smiled at him but he just frowned.

"What? are you okay baby?" she asked her voice full of concern. She picked him up.

"He's fine he's just hurt his mouth, for the thousandth time this week, seriously Jakey you need to be more careful" I said then Jake buried his face in the crook of Caths neck.

"Jake it's okay, what's wrong baby?" She asked.

"Daddy's mean to me" he whimpered, his face still in her neck.

"Daddy's not being mean to you, he just told me that you've burned your mouth" she said softly, running her fingers through his dark hair.

"Cath I'm just going to take these up stairs, have you had anything to eat?" I asked her she shook her head.

"Okay I need to go to the store do you want me to get you something to eat?"

"Ummm we need some bread and can you get something for dinner tonight please?" She asked with a smile on her face, Jake made a sniffling noise which made Cath laugh. He lifted his head up and looked at her with a confused expression.

"Daddy can I have some candy?" He asked looking at me with puppy dog eyes.

"I'll get you some candy but you can't eat it until after dinner okay?" I told him.

"Okay" he nodded, Cath was smirking at me.

*2 hours later*

Catherine's POV

In the back yard.

"Steve, Jake, dinner is ready" I called, they were on the private beach digging in the sand, well Jake was Steve was sat behind him looking out at the ocean.

"Quick daddy" Jake yelled, he stood up and ran towards the house. When he reached the kitchen he tripped up and smashed his chin on the tiled floor. As soon as he hit the floor he started crying.I shot up from where I was sat and Steve wasn't far behind him and he ran towards him too. I picked him up and blood was pouring from his chin.

"Steve look at his chin" I said trying to stay calm even though I knew Steve could tell I was extremely worried and he was too, but he was doing a better job a keeping calm than me. Jake was still crying the bleeding had slowed down a little because Steve was holding a paper towel on it.

"I don't think this is going to stop bleeding anytime soon" he said.

"We need to take him to the ER Steve" I said the panic now clear in my voice. Steve grabbed his key from the counter.

"Shhh Jakey it's okay" I said holding a fresh paper towel on his chin.

"Mommy it hurts" he said through tears.

"I know baby I know, but we're going to get it better" I said kissing the top of his head.

*20 minutes later*

Steve's POV

Hospital

"Okay it looks like this is going to have to be glued up Jake" the nurse said, gently stroking Jakes cheek to keep him calm. He was sat on Cath's lap on a bed in the nurses office.

"Daddy I'm scared" he sniffled.

"It's okay you don't need to be scared, they are going to fix your chin buddy and if you're a good you can eat as much of mommys birthday cake as you want" I said the nurse came back in the room, Catherine was smiling at me.

"But you have to save some for me" she laughed.

"Okay Jake this is going to sting a little for a second but it won't hurt" the nurse said sitting down in front of Jake. He turned to look at Cath he's face looked so worried.

"It's okay Jakey it's okay" she whispered kissing the top of his head and pulling him closer to nurse glued his chin up quite quickly.

"Okay this should heal within 5-10 days so you can make an appointment for about 10 days just to check his chin has healed properly" she said while writing on a piece of paper.

"And if you could give this to them at the front desk when you make the appointment, it's just to tell them that he doesn't need any medication for his chin" she said handing the paper to me.

"Thank you" I said taking the paper off of her. We walked towards the front desk to make the appointment.

*The next day (Catherine's birthday)*

Still Steves POV

6:45am

"Mommy quick wake up its your birthday!" Jake was on the end of the bed jumping up and down.

"10 more minutes Jakey" she mumbled her eyes still closed, her cheek still squashed into the pillow.

"But mommy it's your birthday you have to open your presents and then we can eat cake" he sat down then crawled in between me and Cath.

"Jake why don't we let mommy sleep some more and we can go make her breakfast, yeah?" I suggested, a smile crept across her face.

"Do you want cake for your breakfast mommy?" Jake asked, he sounded quite serious.

"Jake I can't have cake for my breakfast" she laughed sitting up.

"Why?"

"Mommy doesn't want cake" I said standing up off of the bed.

"C'mon mommy you need to open you gifts" Jake yelled jumping off of the bed and running towards the stairs.

"You know what he really does know how to nearly give me a heart attack" she said standing up.

"Yep, woah what are you doing?" I said holding my hand out as if to say stop.

"Going to um" she cleared her throat. "I'm going to eat some pancakes that you are going to make for me" she smiled then leaned up to peck my lips.

"Okay Cath we should probably go down there before he opens your gifts for you" I laughed.

"Mommy are you coming?" Jake yelled up the stairs.

"Yeah I'm coming Jakey" she answered.

"Wait" I said grabbing her hand and pulling her closer to me. "I forgot to say happy birthday" I whispered then kissed her.

"I love you" she said, then she started walking downstairs.

"Mommy!" Jake yelled again.

"Jake shh I'm right in front of you" she said softly, with a smile on her face.

"Sit there" Jake ordered pointing to the couch.

"Okay mr bossy pants" she laughed.

After about 10 minutes she finished opening her presents and cards.

"Hey Cath for the record I love you too"
