This is the last chapter thank you to everyone that reviewed, followed and favourite this story. Honestly didn't expect my first official fan fiction. Sorry it took so long. The actual Hollyoaks show turning crap and glee's shooting star episode (watch it day after states) distracted me. Here's some romantic fluff to cheer up everyone.

Ste was a sleep all that day and all that night. He finally woke up the next morning to the smell of burning bacon and toast and then the smoke detectors went off. He went downstairs and stood in the kitchen doorway silently. Brendan and Declan were running around the kitchen.
"I knew this wouldn't end well, you can't cook da, why didn't you leave Ste to cook, and he's the cook" said Declan, Brendan chucked the tea towel at him.
"That would take away the whole surprise off breakfast in bed" said Brendan he put the burnt bacon on a plate.
"Nothing says I love you like a breakfast in bed full of carbon" joked Declan he got the plate and put the bacon in the bin.
"What you doing?" said Brendan in a high pitched voice this made Ste smile.
"You're not giving him that" said Declan. Ste walked in to the kitchen and looked at the mess they had made.
"Leave this to the professional, go wait in the living room" said Ste the both did as they were told Brendan giving Ste a wink on his way out.

Ste, Declan and Brendan were sat in the living room on the sofa. They had just finished eating.
"What happens now?" asked Ste he looked at Brendan.
"I don't know, you could both move down here" said Brendan Ste and Declan thought about it a minute then they shook their heads.
"Not going back to Ireland for definite but not moving down here" said Declan
"I like the idea but there is the deli to think about and the kids, come up I know the loft is for sale" said Ste.
"the loft?" said Brendan looking really confused, Ste then remembered Brendan hadn't step foot in the village for five years meaning he had no idea what was happening.
"I have a lot to fill you in on" said Ste
"Yeah do that, bet I have missed loads" said Brendan he then put his arm around Ste pulling him closer to him.
"Chez Chez I mean it got bought by Clare Devine the village version of Crueller Deville anyway she got murdered a few months ago by that Paul Browning the one that you know" said Ste he then felt uncomfortable bringing Lindsey up. Brendan nodded at him to continue.

"Since then nobody has bought it saying it's cursed, anyway the gym is now a restaurant called 'Il gnosh reborn' Tony and that Diane own it and are together with a toddler called grace, the shop is still there, the deli is still there, the dog is now called "the cave' the savages bought it after the Osbornes moved out of town a couple of years ago after Nancy died of a drug overdose, Darren and their son came back last year" explained Ste.
"How are the kids getting on?" asked Brendan, Ste was glad of the change of subject because he didn't fancy telling Brendan about every last detail of what he had missed.
"They are getting on fine" said Ste. He wrapped his arms round Brendan clingy on tight.

Ste was walking along the beach admiring the scenery around him. He had decided to go on a walk so that Brendan and Declan could have some alone time to cat. He walked along the beach and plonked himself on a bench looking at sea, watching the waves crash in and out. It made him feel calm; it was quite a beughtiful place when it wasn't being used as a hiding place. He was too engrossed in his thoughts that he didn't notice Brendan sit next to him.
"Away with the fairies are you Steven" said Brendan. Ste jumped and gave Brendan a mock disapproving look. Declan came over and sat the other side of Ste.
"Try and give me a heart attack why don't you" laughed Ste. Brendan looked at them both.
"All three of us are moving back to Hollyoaks, we'll stay at yours if that is fine with Amy until we get a place of our own" said Brendan.
"Sounds like a plan" said Ste.
"One more thing" said Declan he lift some sand up in his hands and chucked it at both Brendan and Ste then giggled. They picked up sand and got up. Declan got up and went to run away but they got him with sand. Soon they were running about chucking sand at each other. This was the most fun Ste had had in a long time. He laid down on the warm sand, out of breath. Brendan laid down next to him laughing loudly.
"I love you" said Ste grabbing his hand and entwining their fingers together. Declan smiled at them.
"Aunty Cheryl's right you two are cute" said Declan.

A month later and everything was nearly back to what it was five years ago except from the bad stuff. Brendan owned the club again calling it Brady Hay, living in Ste's flat and Declan lived there with them now getting on with life. Ste and Brendan got there happily ever after in this life.
