Stephanie was anxious as her meeting came to an end, she was really worried that Mikey was going to have been causing all sorts of mayhem and she would walk out of her office to see the entire office in disarray.

Smiling politely she stood up from her seat, "it was lovely to meet with you and I'm so sorry that the meeting was put off so much."

Nodding his head as he stood up he understood the circumstances, "it's okay, I completely understand the circumstances with your Dad suddenly being taken ill and you having to take over. It is all a lot for a person to take on when they have never done it before."

Opening the door she was relieved that he was okay, "well thank you for understanding."

Hunter was busy drawing a cartoon cat for Mikey when the door opened and he heard Stephanie's voice. Pausing briefly to look at Mikey he saw that he had his eyes trained on the door so he went back to his drawing thinking he was just going to watch his Mom.

As Mikey watched his Mom walk out of her office he slipped off his chair before he ran for her, "Mom!"

When Hunter saw Mikey slide off his chair he stopped drawing and when he saw him running towards Stephanie he dived off his chair and quickly grabbed him before he could reach Stephanie, "hey hey, you need to wait for your Mom to finish her meeting and for her to call you before you go to her because she's very busy today."

Mikey pouted but allowed Hunter to lead him back over to where they had been sitting.

When Mikey called her name Stephanie turned to look at him immediately frowning when he ran towards her but was relieved when Hunter stopped him. Turning to look at the guy she frowned, "sorry about the interruption."

The guy smiled at her, "husband and son interruptions?"

Laughing she shook her head, "son and work colleague interruptions."

"Well I think it's great that your son is here and is excited to show something to you or share what he has done with you. I'm going to get going so you can get on with your day but I will talk to our lawyer's about this and be in touch soon. It was nice to meet you Stephanie."

Smiling politely she took his hand and shook it, "it was nice meeting you too and thank you for being understanding about my son."

Shrugging his shoulders he had no problem with it, "it's okay, I'll talk to you soon. Bye." Turning around he waved at her son before he made his way to the elevator to leave.

Once the guy was leaving she turned to her son and boyfriend and walked over to them with a stern look on her face, "what do you two think you are doing?"

Mikey innocently pointed to the pictures Hunter had been drawing for him, "Hunner makes pic for me to colour."

Stephanie shook her head at him, "that was not what I meant. Why did you go to run over to me when I was busy?"

"Cause I wanted to show you Mommy. You mad?"

Sighing softly she shook her head, "no, I'm not mad but you can't do that when Mommy is working okay?"

Nodding his head he looked down at the floor, "I sowwie. Hunner said that."

Turning to look at Hunter she shook her head, "talking of Hunter, I think you and I need to talk in my office."

Hunter playfully gulped as he looked at Mikey, "uh oh, I'm in trouble."

Mikey giggled and nodded his head, "you's in twuble."

Playfully pointing at her office she glared at Hunter, "office, now"

Getting up from his seat Hunter walked over to her Secretary's desk and picked up the bag before he walked into her office with his head on the floor.

Stephanie had to try and not smile at the way Hunter was acting as she followed him into her office and shut her door firmly behind them, "what the hell are you doing here?"

Turning around he held the bag up towards her, "I brought you lunch. I know I shouldn't have but the idea was that I just dropped it off so you could at least eat something as I didn't like the idea of you not eating all day so I got you something but then when I arrived Mikey was here and he wanted me to stay so I thought I'd stay. I'm sorry if I have put you in a difficult situation."

Walking over to him she slipped her arms around his waist and hugged him, "thank you for being you and for being kind and sweet and amazing."

Holding her tight he kissed the top of her head, "you are most welcome, I hope you like your lunch. So what are you going to do with Mikey for the afternoon?"

Shrugging her shoulders she had no idea, "I really don't know. I guess I will give Jennifer some money to get him lunch now in a minute and then she'll just have to watch him until I'm done here, I can't get anyone else to watch him at this short notice."

"What about me?"

Confused she raised her eyebrow, "what about you?"

Pretending to be a little offended he pouted, "well that hurts. I was offering to look after Mikey for the afternoon for you."

Her eyes widened and she was surprised he offered, "are you serious? You'd actually give up your afternoon to look after my son?"

Shrugging his shoulders he didn't see why she looked so shocked, "well yes, that's kind of why I offered. I have nothing else to do this afternoon and it's not really fair to expect your Secretary to watch Mikey when I'm free, willing and able to do it if you are willing to let me."

She smiled softly, "you're too kind but I couldn't ask that of you."

"But I'm offering and I really mean it, I'm not doing it out of obligation but I'm doing it because I really want to."

"Well if you are serious it really would help me out."

Rubbing her back gently he kissed the top of her head, "of course I am serious about it. I can take him back to mine or out or whatever it is that you would be happy with and give him lunch and just take care of him until you're done here."

Taking his hands in hers she held them tightly, "you're amazing, thank you. I'll give you the keys to my house and you can take him home because all of his toys are there and it won't be too much of an imposition for you but make sure to stay out of my study please as it's actually arranged where I know where everything is."

Nodding his head to let her know that he understood he played with her fingers, "that's okay, I don't want to be near your work so you're welcome to your study. We should go and get out of your hair so you can get back to work."

Pulling away from him she went to get her house keys for him before she put them in his hand, "there you go. Let's go and break the good news to Mikey that you're going to watch him for the afternoon as I'm sure my next meeting has arrived."

Walking past him to open the door she was stopped a short distance from the door when he grabbed her arm and pulled her back to him and pressed a soft kiss to her lips before he let her go so they could talk to Mikey.
