Chapter 9

The next day, Catherine got up early to check the test she took the day before.

"Omg, I can't believe it! I need to surprise Steve! Maybe tonight?"

Catherine went to her closet to find the baby things she bought the day before and got the board all ready. The board said surprise then in the middle of it was the pregnancy test Catherine took and on the bottom line was the onesie and the pair of baby shoes on top. She put it in a box and put it in that drawer. Catherine got ready then went to the bed to wake steve up.

"Steve, we have to get ready for work."

"Mmm baby, why did you get up so early?"

"I wanted to get you up this time. I'm surprised you didn't get up earlier for your morning swim."

"I wanted to be in bed next to my girlfriend longer."

"I love you, sailor, come on, get ready while I go make us some breakfast."

"I hope the kids get up soon to finish their homework while we are at work."

The car ride to the office was slightly more bumpy than usual.

"Catherine are you okay!" Steve shouted as Catherine got out of the truck and ran straight to the door to the office.

Steve locked up the truck and rushed inside. As he walked into the office, Catherine was coming out of the bathroom.

"Baby, are you feeling okay?"

"Yeah, I'm fine, maybe it's just a bug."

Soon the other members of Five 0 came into the office. A little while later Catherine was debriefing everyone about their current case by the smart table when all of a sudden she felt sick. Catherine ran for the bathroom again. Danny was in Steve's office when he saw Catherine run to the bathroom.

"Steve, Is Catherine alright? She's been rushing to the bathroom a lot in the past weeks. Maybe you should take her to the doctors."

"You're right, she said she's fine though. Maybe it's from all the stress."

"Steve, what symptoms have she had?"

"All I really have noticed is that she's been nauseous a lot recently and I guess her stomach is getting bigger. I didn't want to say anything to her, whenever I hugged her, I noticed a difference over the month. She did tell me her period was late a month ago, but she didn't mention anything recently about that."

"Did you guys do it recently, you know?"

"Yeah, but Catherine and I are too old to have a baby, but you do make a good point. I will buy one for her tonight when we go home."

Later on in the day. Steve and Catherine were the last ones to go home that day.

"Steve."

"Yeah."

Catherine walked around the desk and stood in front of Steve. Steve turned away from his computer and looked at Catherine.

"Best thing you can do right now is come home… get some rest."

"I need to finish this case first."

"Yeah… I knew you weren't going to go for that."

Steve smiled at her.

"That's who we are… job always comes first, right?"

"Yup."

"Okay… I'm going to get you some coffee then."

"Thank you."

Catherine returned to Steve's office with a cup of coffee. She sat down on the couch and brought out her laptop to help him out.

1 hour later…

Steve closed his laptop and got up. Catherine looked up from her laptop surprised to see Steve closed his laptop. He walked over to the couch and sat next to her. He took the laptop off of her lap.

"What are you doing, sailor?"

"Let's go home."

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah… before we go home, I need to make a quick stop somewhere."

They closed up headquarters and got into the truck. Steve drove to a drugstore.

"What do you need here, Steve?"

"Come with me and you will see."

Steve took Catherine to the personal products section of the store. Steve was looking at the wall of pregnancy tests in front of him.

"Wow, there are so many."

"Steve, what are you doing?"

"Well, you said you haven't been feeling well and all, and the symptoms you have are pregnancy-related so I thought maybe we should get a test to see if that's why you haven't been feeling well."

"I guess it doesn't hurt to get one sailor, I see you are being a really good boyfriend."

Catherine walked in front of Steve and kissed him on his lips.

"You're such a sweet sailor."

Catherine thought to herself, "what should I do now? I already have a reveal for him at home."

While Catherine was thinking, Steve was looking for a test to buy.

"Cath, what about this one?"

He noticed that Catherine wasn't paying attention.

"Cath, are you alright?"

Catherine snapped out of it.

"Yeah, sorry, I was thinking."

"What were you thinking about?"

"It's nothing"

Catherine looked down at the box Steve had in his hands.

"Yeah, this test should be good."

They paid for the test and drove home. The car ride home was silent. Steve got out of the truck first and ran to the other side to open the door for Catherine. Catherine got out of the car and closed her door so she could kiss him.

"I see someone is being very romantic today."

"Just treating my beautiful girlfriend with the love she deserves."

"I like this sailor."

They walked into the house and could smell the delicious food John and Caroline were cooking.

"Hi mom and Steve, we hope you like my great grandmother's ragu!"

"I didn't know you taught her how to make that, Cath, I missed it so much! Today was definitely a good day!"

"I'm going to go upstairs to take a shower, are you coming Steve?"

Caroline and John looked at each other and started laughing.

"Wow, even at their age, they are still getting it."

"John! Don't say that too loud, we don't need them to hear us!"

Steve and Catherine went upstairs to their room and closed the door.

"Cath, do you want to take the test now or later tonight?"

"How about we go shower first then I take it then we eat dinner with the kids."

"Sounds good to me. Need some help lieutenant?"

"Always, sailor."

Steve helped Catherine undress and noticed Catherine's stomach was sticking out a little more than usual.

"I really hope you're pregnant, we need some kids that are all ours."

"Well, we will have to wait and see."

Catherine undressed Steve and they jumped in the shower. Steve and Catherine couldn't help themselves.

"Steve, we have to go downstairs and eat dinner."

"But I don't want to."

"Steve..."

"Fine, let's go downstairs."

Steve and Catherine dried off and got dressed to eat dinner. They sat on the table while Caroline and John brought the food to the table.

"I'm proud of the two of you for taking the initiative to make tonight's dinner."

"Thank you, dad, it was all Caroline's idea."

"No it wasn't John, you had the idea, I just gave you my great grandmother's recipe and helped you make it."

"Let's eat family."

"This is really good, I hope in the future you two will be making more food for us!"

"For sure Catherine, I'm sure we both enjoy cooking."

After dinner, Catherine and Steve cleaned up the dishes while John and Caroline we're finishing their homework.

In the kitchen…

"Thank you for helping me wash the dishes, sailor."

"I enjoy doing the dishes with you, lieutenant."

Steve kissed her head.

"After we are done, do you want to head upstairs to take it?"

"Of course."

They finished washing the dishes and headed upstairs. Steve sat on the bathtub while Catherine took the test. Catherine placed the test on the sink and washed her hands.

"Now we have to wait 5 minutes."

"Aghhh that's so long, I want to know now."

"How about you go wait for me in the backyard by the chairs?"

"Okay, I love you Cath."

Steve kissed her then went downstairs to lock up the house and waited in the backyard for Catherine. Catherine opened the drawer and took out her box. After the 5 minutes was up she looked at the test she just took. It was also positive. She took off the test she took the night before and placed it in her pocket. She put the test she just took on the board, closed the box, and headed to the backyard. She hid the box beside her while walking to the backyard. She sat down on the chair next to Steve.

"So, what does it say?"

Catherine got up and sat on Steve's lap.

"What's the box for?"

"Open it."

Steve opened the box and was in shock.

"No way… seriously, lieutenant."

"Yes sailor, I am."

Steve put the box down on the ground, wrapped his arms around Catherine, and kissed her on the lips.

"I love you so much."

"I love you so much too, sailor."

Catherine could see how happy Steve was.

"This is definitely the best day of my life. I can't believe we are going to have our own kid running around soon."

"Me too, this is so unreal"

"How long did you know? When did you have time to do all of this?"

"The errand I ran yesterday was this…"

"So when I took you to the drug store…"

"I already knew. I wanted to surprise you."

Catherine took the other pregnancy test out of her pocket.

"I took this one before you got home yesterday."

"So it's confirmed… two positives."

"Technically three positives… We still need to make an appointment…"

"Make one soon… I can't wait to see our baby."

Catherine stood up and picked up the box. Steve scooped her up bridal style and carried her back into the house and upstairs on to their bed. Steve locked their bedroom door and headed straight for the bed.

"Damn sexy momma."

"Not so bad yourself, daddy."

Will Steve make it to the appointment?
