Author Note: I just posted chapter 2 and started to write the same night so I can hopefully get this done by next Thursday. This week was a very short work week so it gave me extra time to write. Thank you all for the sweet reviews from the first two chapter. I seriously can not believe that it is almost August 1st. We will have an announcement for Come back to me series in the coming weeks so be on the look out for that.

Chapter 3

It had been two weeks since Alyssa moved into the house. She is nearing her sixth month mark. She could not wait to meet the baby. Steve has been a great help for her while she is pregnant. She really wished that she would have met him before her ex. They were surprised that they did not run into him. Steve was currently at work while she was relaxing at work. She heard her phone beep and knew that it was him. She walked over to the chair and opened the phone. She smiled when she saw that it was from Steve.

The text said: Hey sorry about not being there when you woke up this morning. I will see you tonight. :) XO Steve

She hit reply and said it's okay. Just be safe.

She almost wanted to say something else but chose not to say it. She figured that they could hopefully talk about what was going on with them. She remember what happen between them the night before.

Steve and Alyssa were resting on the couch when the next thing that she knew they were starting kissing. She was the one that pulled back.

"I know, I am sorry. You must not be ready for the next step." Steve said to her. They had shared one small kiss.

"No, it's not just that. Steve, I just need some time." She responded to him.

"Okay, I can give you that." Steve responded to her with a smile.

At Headquarters

Steve and Danny were finishing up paperwork in their own offices when Danny decided to take a small break and talk to him. He walked out his and right into Steve. He sat down on the couch.

"Why does it always seem like I have more paperwork then you do?" Steve asked his friend.

"because you let it stack up and then finally do it." Danny argue with his friend.

"I really don't agree with that." Steve responded to his friend with a smile. He knew that his friend was right through. "Why are you here?"

"Because I wanted to see if you asked her the question about your future with you and the baby." Danny said to his friend.

"I did and she said that she is not ready for that step." Steve revealed as he left out that they had actually kissed. He did not want his friend to know about that step.

A month went by with no progress in their relationship, Alyssa had ended up growing closer to Steve and loved spending time with him. Steve seem like he wanted to make sure that he gave her space. She came down the stairs and smiled when she saw him coming back from a swim.

"Feeling okay?" Steve asked her with a small smile.

"Yeah, Steve. We need to talk about whatever is going on between you and me." She responded to him.

"What do you want to talk about?" He asked her. He was really hoping that she would agree that they can move on with their lives.

"I want to talk about us. I think that it's time that we start moving on. We have a child coming in a few months." She responded to him with a small smile.

"I know and I am excited. I am even more excited to see what the future holds between you and me." Steve said to her.

"I really would like to take things slow." She responded to him.

"I do agree on that." Steve said to her.

Steve and Alyssa relaxed for the rest of the weekend until the team showed up for the bbq on Sunday afternoon. Danny pulled his friend aside.

"So did you talk to her?"Danny asked his friend.

"Yeah, we did talk about it." Steve said to his friend as Alyssa came walking over to them. "Hi."

"Hello Danny, where are the kids?" She asked him.

"They are with their mom but should be here soon." Danny revealed to her. He watched as Steve wrapped his am around her waist. He was so happy for his friend.

Two weeks went by and Alyssa was at the house by herself. She only had a few more weeks until the baby would be there. She was cleaning up the baby's room and making sure that it was all ready when she heard a noise downstairs. Rather than take any chances, she shut the door and put the rocker under the handle. She pulled out her cell phone and text Steve their emergency text. She knew that he would know what that meant. It was not even a second later when the stairs started to creak. Alyssa knew that she just needed to stay calm and everything would be okay.

"I know that you are in there." The person said as they got to the baby's room. "I am back to take what is mine."

Alyssa knew that she was going to do what is best for her and the baby. She was scared but knew that Steve would be there soon.

"Oh by the way, don't worry about Steve. I already took care of him. So your little 911 text message that you sent to him. He won't get it in time." the person said to her.

Now that Steve might not be able to help. She knew that she needed to reach out to the rest of the team.

"Don't even bother about reaching out to anyone else. They are with Steve." The person said to her.

"Who are you and what do you want with me?" She responded to the person.

"My name is Catherine and I want Steve back. You took him from me." Catherine revealed to her. "I will also take his child that is growing inside of you right now."

"Steve will never love you if you do something to me or his child." Alyssa responded to her. "I think that it's best you leave and I won't tell him."

Alyssa's cell phone started to ring and it was Steve. She went to answer it.

"Steve, you need to come home. There is some crazy girl saying that she is your ex-girlfriend and wants you back. She is also saying that she wants our child." Alyssa responded to him.

"Babe, I will be back soon." Steve responded to her.

"Okay." She responded to him. She knew that she just needed to stay calm. She heard the front door open. She hoped that it was Steve.

"Cath? What are you doing here?" Steve asked her. Alyssa could hear them through the door.

"I want what is mine back." Catherine revealed to him.

"Catherine, listen to me. I am sorry to tell you this but I moved on. So I need you please go. You are upsetting her." Steve responded to her.

"Fine I will go. But this is far from over." Catherine responded to him.

Steve waited for Catherine to leave before giving Alyssa the all clear to come out. Danny walked into the house after Catherine left. Catherine walked up the road and got into the truck that was waiting with someone in the car.

"Did you get her?" Catherine asked her friend.

"Yeah, she is in the back. We better hope that it doesn't lead back to us." the man said to her.

"Please tell me that you grabbed her phone and keys? We can make it look like she drove away." Catherine responded to him.

"Hey, is she gone?" Steve asked his friend.

"Yeah." Danny responded to him as he watched his friend knocked on the door.

During the time that Steve and Danny were talking, Alyssa heard that someone had came through the window. She knew that Catherine left the house but wasn't expecting anyone to come through the window.

"Babe, it's okay to come out." Steve said to her but did not get any answer so he opened the door to find no one in the room. He found Alyssa's phone sitting on the chair and the window open.
