Due to work scheduling, Steve got a day off. Fallon had to go in early for work and drop off Neil at nursery school, leaving the blond Brit to watch after his seven month old daughter, who was currently still asleep in her crib.

Steve sat down, watching TV as he kept an ear out for his crying daughter.
Lei arrived in England to go visit Steve. He had to go alone as Elise had to work and couldn't just go on vacation at the drop of a hat. He felt bad leaving the woman alone with all the kids, but Shun's a really big help.
He makes his way to the door. Lei knock on the door and Steve answers it, inviting the former Super Cop inside.
"Hey... Glad you made it. How's Surburban life working out for you?"
"It's fine. I get to at least see my family every day. And I know that I will keep seeing them again..." Lei shrugged.

Scarlett woke up at the sound of an unfamiliar voice, but didn't cry from it. Instead, she sat up and looked at her door, waiting for her father.

"Good, good."
"Very boring though. But hey, I actually got witness for the first time, my child's first steps. I missed Wanrei and Li-Mei's first steps due to work. But that's exciting."
Steve then welcomed Lei inside as he noticed that Scarlett was awake from the baby cam.
"She's up!"
Lei followed Steve as he makes his way to the bedroom to take a look at Scarlett.
"She's beautiful." Lei muttered as he saw Steve reach over and pick her up as he rocked her.

Scarlett had her arms wrapped around her father's neck as she hugged him. Her red hair is startling at first to those who don't know about her Irish ancestry.

Lei was amazed at the redhead child. Lei was aware of Steve's Irish ancestry, but not Fallon's Irish ancestry.
"Wow, she's a redhead! I was hoping Elise and I would have redheaded children, but Elise says that I don't carry the 'redhead' Gene at all. I carry blonde in my dna, but no redhair."

Scarlett raised her head to see the stranger in the room and immediately tried to hide in her father's arms. It seems stranger anxiety was starting for her.

Steve held Scarlett, noticing that she didn't like strangers. Lei noticed this, as well.
"You're a shy one aren't you?" Lei chuckled.
"Kids don't like strangers, anyway."
Lei shrugged. "Bailong was very talkative. Li-Mei only liked certain people. And Shenlong... He just flat out didn't interact with anyone."

Scarlett kept hiding, not wanting to face the strange man. This was odd because when it was just Steve, Fallon, and Neil at home, Scarlett would babble often. Fallon was sure she was getting close to saying her first word.

"Poor thing..." Steve said, noticing how shy Scarlett is.
"Do I smell funny? Sound funny? Do I offend you in any way?" He asked Scarlett.

"Mm." That may have been a "yes". She also probably wanted some breakfast.

Steve shook his head and. "She's probably hungry. I think maybe she'll warm up to you if you eat breakfast with her."
Lei nods. "I think that should work..."

Scarlett was then placed in her high chair in the kitchen.

Steve then began preparing Scarlett her meal as Lei stood by and watched her, gauging her reaction.
Lei gave the girl a smile and babbled.

Her reaction wasn't huge, but she did smile back at him.
