Chapter 18

It was time for Michael's adoption party. Steve and Lauren were very busy with the planning. Steve knew that he wanted to surprise Lauren with the proposal. He knew that she was going to be surprise.

Steve was at headquarters while he is trying to catch up on paperwork. He could not help but think about the proposal and his new family. He could not believe that he has a little boy and another child on the way. Lauren was doing wonderful in her pregnancy. He did not heard Danny walked into the room.

"Hey, new daddy." Danny teased his friend.

"Really Danny?" Steve asked his friend. "You want to tease me right now."

"I was just kidding. How is fatherhood going for you and Michael?" Danny responded to his friend.

"Going pretty good. Michael is adjusting to me being his dad really good. Lauren's pregnancy is going really good. I can't wait for the baby to get here." Steve revealed to his friend.

"How's the proposal going? I know that every time that you go to proposal someone gets in the way. Maybe I should watch Michael so you two can go out and finally asked her to marry you." Danny responded to him.

"Yeah that sounds good. What about tomorrow night? if you don't have plans?" Steve asked his friend.

"Yeah that works." Danny responded to him.

"Thank you so much for offering to do that for us." Steve responded to him.

Steve and Danny headed out of the office and walked towards the cars. They were heading home for the night.

Steve walked into the house and smiled the minute that he saw Lauren and their son playing. He could not believe that he was calling Michael his son. He could not believe that Michael would have either a little brother or a little sister in a few months.

"Hey honey" Steve said to her as he gave her a small kiss.

"Hey babe." She responded back to him.

"So I was thinking about taking you to dinner tomorrow night." Steve responded to his girlfriend.

"okay but what about Michael?" She asked him.

"I asked Danny about watching him and he agree to it surprising." Steve responded to her. "I am sure that he has Charlie and that is why he agree to take Michael."

The next night

Steve and Lauren were finally getting ready for their date. Lauren did not know the true intention of her man but she was happy that they got to spend some one on one time together. Steve had already drove Michael over to Danny's house. Steve had finally came back to the house.

"Honey, are you ready to go?" Steve asked her with a smile as he came into the bathroom.

"Yeah. I am just finishing up." Lauren responded to him as she gave him a small kiss.

"I love you." Steve responded to her.

"I love you too." Lauren responded to him

Their date went really well and they headed back home. Steve had proposal to Lauren and she said yes. Steve had never been that happy. He was going to have it all. Steve and Lauren were relaxing in bed when he noticed that she kept looking at her ring.

"Babe, if you don't like it, we can always take it back and get one that you do like." Steve said to her with a smile.

"Don't you dare. I love it. I love that you picked it out too." She said to him as he gave her a small kiss. "I can not believe that we are getting married and going to have a baby at the same time."

"Neither can I. I do have to thank you for moving in next door to me. My life has changed a lot since you moved here." Steve said to her with a smile.

"You are so sweet. I know that my life has changed and so has our son. I can't believe that he is our son now. Thank you for adopting him. He loves you so much." She responded to him.

"I love him too and this little one too." Steve responded to her.

The next morning was the adoption party. Both Steve and Lauren were busy getting the decoration when Danny got there with Michael.

"Mommy, I love it." Michael said to his mother.

"I am glad baby. Guess what?" Lauren responded to him

"What? Are you getting married?" He asked her.

"Yes baby. How did you know?" Lauren said to her son.

"Daddy asked me if it was okay a while ago and I told him yes." Michael responded to his mother as Steve looked at Danny who was laughing. Danny knew that Michael was not going to be able to keep it from his mother that he knew.

"Aw I see." Lauren said to her son as she was looking at Steve. Steve gave her a small smile as they started to celebrating Michael's adoption. Steve was so happy to be part of this family.

Three weeks later

Steve and Lauren had decided that they did not want to wait to get married and were about to wed when there was a shot fired.
