Author Note: Happy Friday everyone! We have had a ton of snow days this week which made writing a little harder since I had both children almost all week long. Anyways, back for another chapter. I can't believe that Max is leaving tonight! :(

Chapter 12

Steve woke up a few days later. They managed to find a few leads on Chin's location. He knew that this was hard on Kono because she was missing her cousin. He looked at his phone before getting out of bed and smile the minute that he saw a message from Robyn.

Hey handsome, the kids would like to skype with their father and so would I.

He could not disagree with that he would love to do a skype date with his kids and wife. He felt bad that he was not able to be at home with them. He hit reply.

Hey babe, I would love to see you and the kids. I miss you all so much. I have to go help the team with this one suspect.

Steve managed to get the information that they needed to find Chin. He was really surprised to see Adam there and knew that they were not going to be able to say anything.

Steve was the relaxed the minute that they found Chin. They were finally able to go home. He decided to call Robyn to let her know that they were coming home.

"Hey babe." She greeted him.

"Hey, I have some good news." He responded to her with a smile.

"Are you coming home?" She asked her husband.

"Yeah, we are about to get on a plane right now so it will be a few hours before we are home." Steve said to her. "We are also bringing a special guest."

"Okay, I can't wait to see who it is." Robyn responded to him.

"Alright honey, we have to go. I love you." Steve said to her.

"I love you too." She responded to him. She hung the phone as she was getting ready to go to headquarters to lock down everything. She also wanted to make sure that they had no paperwork to do when they got back. She got to headquarters to find Jerry going down to his office.

"Jerry, what are you doing here this late?" She asked him.

"I just wanted to make sure that I got everything done. What are you doing here with the team in Mexico?" He responded to her.

"Steve wanted me to check on the office." She said to him.

"That's good." Jerry said as he got into the elevator. He waited to the door to close. He did not want to tell her about him sleeping in the headquarters.

Steve finally got there about two hours later to find Jerry sleeping in his office. He could not believe that his friend was sleeping in there. He got back to the house to find the kids and Robyn playing at the beach.

"Hey guys, look who is back." Steve said to hi before everyone started to come and get him.

"Daddy!" John said to his father before he started to run for him. Steve loved moments like this. He hated this part of his job where he had to be away from his family.

"Hey buddy. I missed you." Steve said to him before getting to the other kids and then finally his wife.

They managed to get through the night with both kids. Steve and Robyn decided to lay on the couch to watch a movie.

"So what do we want to watch?" Steve asked his wife.

"Anything that you want to watch. I am not picky." She responded to him.

"A part of me just wants to go to bed with you right now." Steve responded to her.

"That sounds wonderful to me so let's go." She said to him with a smile.

Steve and Robyn headed to the bed and just relaxed. They were glad that they were able to spend time together.

The next morning, Steve woke up extra early to go running again. He felt Robyn wrapped her arms around him.

"Hey, I love you but I am going to go running." Steve said to her.

"I love you too." she responded to her husband before letting go.

Robyn got up about thirty minutes after her husband left. She checked on all the kids to make sure that they were still sleeping. She hoped that it would stay easy for the whole day. Steve got back before the kids got up.

"So you and I need to talk about Max." Steve said to her.

"Why? What is going on?" She asked him.

"Max is leaving. He is selling his apartment." Steve responded to her.

"Are you serious? Where is he going?" She asked him.

"He is going to Africa which if you remember that is where he came back." Steve responded to her.

"Okay." She said to him.

"We are planning to do a going away party for him." Steve said to his wife.

"Okay." She responded to him before giving him a small kiss. "Everything will be okay."
