Hello, friends! Remembering that I don't own the characters, it's just a fan-to-fan story.

Danny left his office and joined the other team members at the smart table.

"What we have?" He asked.

"Nothing that the HPD cannot solve alone," Lou replied.

"Isn't Steve coming today?" Quinn asked.

"No. Today is the day he picks up the child," Danny replied absently.

"What a child?" Everyone asked at the same time.

"Damn, I said too much," Danny murmured.

"You started, now finish. What child is this?" Tani asked.

"Steve is adopting a child," Danny said.

"Serious?" Junior asked.

"Yes, and later I will stop by his place to see how he is handling it," Danny replied.

"Steve surprised me," Lou said.

"He was feeling very lonely. I told him to find a woman, get married and have children, but he wanted to speed things up and adopted a boy," Danny told the team.

At the end of the day, Danny went to Steve's house to see if he needed help. He rang the bell and Steve opened the door.

"Hey, Danny! Did something happen?" Steve asked.

"No, I just wanted to see how you are dealing with the child. Where is he?" Danny asked.

"In the living room," Steve replied.

Danny entered the house and was startled when he saw three children. Danny wanted to question Steve, but the kids were looking at him.

"Let's go to the kitchen, Steve," Danny said.

Steve followed Danny into the kitchen. Danny leaned against the counter and crossed his arms over his chest. "Why are there three children in your living room, Steve?"

"They are brothers, Danny. And their mother's last request, before she died, was that they weren't separated in adoption. The other children were being adopted and they were staying there. So I decided to adopt all three," Steve answered.

You are crazy, Steve. How old are these kids? "Danny asked.

"The girl is four years old and the boys are twins, and they are almost three years old," Steve told Danny.

Danny didn't believe what he heard. "I repeat what I said: You are crazy! You don't have a woman at home to take care of these children."

"I can take care of them alone, Danny. We are a family now, me, Alice, Philip, Paul, and Eddie."

"Alice, Philip and Paul? Did you choose the names?" Danny asked.

"No. These are the names their mother gave them. She and the children's father had an accident a year and a half ago. He died instantly and she died in the hospital," Steve told Danny.

"Well, I'm sorry for their parents and since you don't need any help, I'm leaving," Danny told Steve.

"Have dinner with us, Danny."

"No, maybe another day."

Steve accompanied Danny to the door and then asked the children to dinner.

Steve was watching the kids eat and didn't mind seeing the mess he would have to clean up afterwards.

"So? Is the food good?" Steve asked.

"Yes, Daddy," Alice replied.

Steve stroked her hair and kissed her head. "Thank you, little angel."

Steve was absent from work for a month. He was adapting to children and vice versa. He was considering whether it would be better to hire someone to take care of the children at home or put them in a daycare, and he opted for the second option.

"I don't want to go, Daddy. I want to be with you," Alice said to Steve.

"Listen, my love, it's not like at the orphanage. The school is cool and I will pick you up and your brothers after I leave work. Okay?"

Alice wiped the tears away with her fingers, grabbed her small backpack and gave Steve a hug.

Steve called Philip and Paul and hugged the three. "Daddy will get you three later, don't worry."

Steve put the three kids in the car and was taking them to school.

"I know a really cool song. I'm going to sing for you." Steve sang the song three times and the fourth time the kids were singing with him.

"Philip, you sing very well!"

"What about me, Daddy?" Paul asked.

"You are also great, buddy! "This is going to be our song to sing in the car."

Steve arrived with the children at the daycare and handed them to the principal.

"I'll come and get you three later," Steve told kids. He left the daycare with a broken heart for having to leave them. He went to headquarters and worked all day upset.

"Hey, what's up with you? Did you stay at home for a month and go back to work with that face on?" Danny asked.

"I'm sad to have to drop the kids off at the daycare," Steve said.

"I told you: Steve, get a girlfriend, get married and have kids. You started with kids, and now you have to get a girlfriend and get married. Today is Valentine's Day and you'll be home at night looking after three children, you don't even have time to meet someone," Danny told him.

"I think that when I have to meet my special person, fate will take care of that and I don't have to go after women that has no special meaning to me," Steve replied.

Alice fex peed her pants because she was ashamed to ask to go to the bathroom.

The teacher crouched down in front of Alice when she realized this. "Honey, why didn't you ask me to go to the bathroom?"

Alice didn't answer, just cried.

"It's okay, I'm not fighting you. I'm going to take off these wet clothes."

The teacher searched Alice's backpack for clean clothes, but didn't find it.

"Your mother forgot to put another piece of clothing in your backpack."

"I don't have a mother," Alice replied.

"Huh ... I think I have something in my bag," the teacher said. She changed Alice's clothes and left a notice to the concierge that she wanted to speak to the children's father when he came to pick them up.

At the end of the day, Steve left looking forward to picking up the children.

He arrived at the daycare and was told that the teacher wanted to speak to him. He was worried and thought that something had happened to the children.

Steve went to the children's classroom and knocked on the door. The teacher opened the door and Alice, Paul and Philip ran to him.

"Wow, that way I'm going to think you guys didn't like me," the teacher said to the children. And then she looked at Steve. "Hello, Steve."

Steve looked at her well and remembered the neighbor he had as a teenager. "Catherine?"

"Yes, it's me," she replied.
