Chapter twenty-nine
Here you go as promised! So Chin and Charlie in this chapter and Danny in the next! Thank you for the awesome reviews!
Steve was flipping the last few pancakes when Charlie walked into the kitchen with Kono following close behind. Both girls were laughing about something.
"What's so funny?" Steve asked glancing backwards at them.
"Nothing." Kono giggled. Steve looked at them suspiciously as he lay their pancakes on the table.
"Eat up Charlie." He said. "I'll drop you off at school."
"Don't you have to go to work?" She asked as she bit into her pancakes.
"Nope not today. I managed to get us all the day off."
"Really?" Kono beamed up at him.
He nodded. "Charlie, Kono and I have to tell you something." He said sitting next to his daughter and taking her hands in his. "We are having a baby."
Charlie's face filled with shock, then went blank and then was covered in excitement. "No way." She looked from her father to Kono.
"Yep. We found out this morning!" Kono smiled.
"OMG this is so exciting! I can't believe it! I'm going to have a baby brother or sister! Oh my God." Charlie jumped up and hugged Kono and Steve. "I bagsy naming it!"
"You can have input." Steve said.
"No babe, you can have input." Kono said to Steve and then winked at Charlie."Who else knows?!"
Kono looked at Steve. "No one else yet but your dad is going to talk to Chin and Danny today."
Steve choked on his pancakes. Clearing his throat he said, "I am?"
"Yes you are."
"Why me?"
"Because you are the one who got me pregnant."
"But-"
"Oh dad just do it. Don't be such a wimp."
"A wimp?" Steve raised his eyebrows at his daughter. "Babe I was a navy SEAL."
"Yeah you were. Past tense."
Kono giggled and told Charlie to go and get ready which she listened to.
"You better get ready for your chat with the boys." Kono smirked as she finished her breakfast.
"Hey man." Steve said as Chin opened the door to his house.
"Steve, brah come in."
"Thanks." He followed his girlfriends cousin into his kitchen. Steve had decided to speak to Chin and Danny separately. No way could he have the same conversation with both.
"What's up?"
"We need to talk Chin." Steve said sitting down at the kitchen table. "About Kono."
"What happened?" Chin asked sitting opposite him.
"We're dating."
"Son of a bitch."
"Look man. I'm not just sleeping with her. I care about her. I really do."
"Steve she works for you!"
"So? We are both professional."
"I can't believe this. You were meant to be my friend."
"I am. Look Chin, she is so scared of what you think. It matters to her so much. And you don't have to like the fact that we are together but don't say anything." Steve pleaded.
Ching glared at him across the table. "I disapprove." He paused. "But if you both want to be together then who am I stop that."
Steve smiled. "Thank you Chin."
"Three rules though." Steve nodded enthusiastically. "Rule one, I don't want to see anything. Rule two, if you ever hurt her, ever, I will be allowed to hunt you down and kill you. And rule three, you cannot get her pregnant."
"Uh-"
"What?"
"Kono's pregnant Chin."
"What?" shock crossed his face. And then anger.
"You can change rule three. Look Chin, I love her. I want to spend the rest of my life loving her."
"So she is not another Catherine?"
"Definitely not. And think about it like this, I'm definitely a step up from Noshimuri."
That earned Steve a laugh. "That you are brah." The older man hugged Steve. "Congratulations."
"You too man. I really do love her. I will never hurt her."
"I know you would never intentionally hurt her." Chin smiled.
