Author Note: I hope that you enjoy this week's chapter of this storyline. Thank you all for the reviews, I hope that we get some more reviews after the holidays. For the next two weeks there will not be any updates on this storyline. I did not notice that I made a mistake with putting "Alyssa" in "Lauren". Alyssa is in my Thursday storyline.

Chapter 3

The next morning

Lauren was laying in her bed thinking about the secret that she was keeping from Steve. She knew that she needed to be honest about her son but did not know how he would take it. It was another big change in their relationship and she was not sure about how he would handle it.

She was pulled out of her thoughts when she heard someone knocking the door. She had a feeling that it was Steve. She got out of bed and went to answer the door. On the way down the stairs, she went to check her son to find him sound asleep. She headed downstairs and open the door to find Steve there with roses.

"Oh my goodness. Thank you. I love them." She said to him. She said as she took the flowers and headed into the kitchen with him following her.

Steve noticed the toys that were all around and saw the photos that were hanging up. It was her and a little boy.

"Who is with you in these photos?" Steve asked her.

"My son." Lauren revealed to him about to brace her self for his reaction.

"You have a son?" Steve asked her.

"Yes." She responded to him

"How old is he?" Steve asked her.

"He is about three years old. I found out that I was pregnant right after leaving his father. I left to protect him." She responded to him.

"Wow. I just need a little time to figure things out." Steve said to her before he walked out. He did not know how to react to this. He had been nothing but honest with her and she lied to him. He just thought that she would be honest with him like he was with her.

A few morning later

Steve was getting ready for when he saw her walking with her son. He was still not sure what to do with the relationship. Lauren smiled and waved at him. She walked over to him.

"Can we talk?" She asked him.

"Sure what do you want to talk about?" Steve asked her. "Do you want to talk about what you are keeping from me?"

"Steve, I wanted to be honest with you about him but what would have done? Left me without getting to know me or would you have stayed?" Lauren said to him. Before he had a chance to respond, Steve's cell started to ring and she knew that he was going to leave.

Later on that day

Danny showed up to get some things from the house for Steve. She did not notice when Danny started to walk over to her.

"Hey do you have a moment to talk about Steve?" Danny asked her.

"Yeah I do." She responded to him. "What is on your mind?"

"I know that he is missing you but he is having a hard time on why you would tell him about your kid." Danny revealed to her.

"Because I did not know how he would take it and this is what I thought he would do. I don't want to lose him." Danny listen to her.

"Why don't you go talk to him? I will stay here and watch your little boy." Danny offered to her.

"Thank you." She said to him

Danny watched as she left with the things that Danny had grabbed. She got to headquarters to find Steve standing outside of headquarters. She got out of the car and headed towards him.

"Can we talk?" She asked him.

"Sure, we just finished the case and I am all wet from jumping into the lake." Steve responded to her.

"I am sorry that I did not tell you about him. I wanted to tell you the minute that I knew that you would stay with us." She said as she walked closer to him. As she got closer to him, She went up to give him a kiss.

"I want to get to know him." Steve said as they pulled apart from their kiss.

"That is fine with me." She responded to him with a small smile.

The next morning

Steve and Lauren were enjoying the morning together. Steve was watching her son. He wondered what he would be like a father figure to this little boy. He had to admit that he was beyond cute and he had to get it from her. Steve got up and went to talk to her little boy. She was hoping that the chat would go good.
