Chapter 7

Lauren could not say that she was not surprise that her son wanted Steve to adopt him but she did not know how she felt about it because then he would be in their lives forever. She knew that she needed to talk to Steve about it. She finished getting her son ready for bed. She headed downstairs to clean up the mess that was made today. She could not believe that Steve had been a bombing just a few hours ago and that had scared her a lot. She always wanted to make sure that he was okay. She was so deep in thought that she did not heard a knock. She finally snap out of her thoughts and walked over to the door. She opened the door and gave him a small smile.

"Hey you. Are you feeling better?" She asked him.

"Yeah I am feeling a lot better. Thank you." Steve responded to her.

"Will you come in? I need to talk to you about Michael and what he just said a few minutes ago." She revealed to him with a smile.

"Okay." Steve said as he walked into the house. They sat down on the couch. "So what did he say?"

"He wants you to adopt him. He is starting to love you like a father." She revealed to him.

"Oh wow, I love that the little guy like he was my own. But what do you want?" Steve asked her. He was not sure how they would move on after this. Adoption is a big step and knew that he would be in their lives forever. It was something that he was wanting but wasn't sure how he was going to get it.

"I don't know what we want to do it. I know my son and he loves you." She responded to him.

"What about you?" Steve asked her

"We are still working on our feelings." She responded to him.

"Okay. Let me think about it." Steve said as he gave her a small kiss. Truth be told that he was a little upset about it. He knew that his feelings were getting stronger by the day.

Steve headed home after about two hours at Lauren's house. He was still not clear to go to work which was hard for him. He asked her if he could take Michael to daycare in the morning since she had to go to work which was fine by her.

The next morning came early for both of them. Michael was super excited that Steve was taking him to daycare for the day while Lauren got ready for work. Steve loaded Michael in to his truck before he got into the truck.

"Are you ready to go?" He asked Michael.

"Yeah." He said excited.

"Mommy and I talked about something that was very important." Steve said to him. "You said something to mommy that you want me to adopt you. Is that something that you want buddy?"

"Yep. I know that mommy loves you." He responded to him.

"Did mommy tell you?" Steve asked him.

"Yep." he responded to him.

Steve finally got to the daycare and check Michael in. He told them that either Lauren or himself would come and get Michael.

It was almost the end of the day, Lauren had a very pack day. Steve had texted right after he dropped Michael off of daycare. Lauren was about to get out of the work for the day. Lauren watched as a man came into the work place with a gun. She could not believe that this is happening. Lauren had pulled out her phone and texted Danny

My work is in trouble! A man came in with a gun! I need help! Don't text back. Just call Steve, He knows where I work.

After the moment that Danny got the text from Lauren, he knew that it was not good. He ran into the office to where both Kono and Chin were at.

"We need to go." Danny said to them.

"Okay, Let's go. Where are we going?" Chin asked him.

"We need to go because Lauren is in a hostage sitituiation at her work. I have to call Steve on the way there to find out where we are going." Danny said as he dialed Steve's number.

"Steve, what is Lauren's work address?" Danny asked his friend.

Steve gave him the address and knew that there was something wrong. Steve knew that he needed to be there at her work. He also knew that he needed to go get Michael. He was planning to take him to Lauren's work before the news about what happen so he decided to go get him and take him to Mary's house so she could watch him.

He got to Lauren's work right before it was too late. Steve was worried about her from the time that he left his house. He just hoped that she was going to be okay.

" Steve you can't be here." Danny told him.

"I know but I need to make sure that she is okay." Steve responded to him.

Right before Danny got a chance to say anything more, there was an explosion!
