If you wanted Leon, you'd have to be a step-mother if you two married. That was a particularly hard boundary of Leon's. He didn't want his son living in a house with a woman that he couldn't call his Mom, just feeling like a third wheel in his own house. He refused to have that life for him.

Which, he was surprised you agreed to. It was only the third date and you agreed to be a step-mother, if you ever got married. Apparently you lived in a similar situation, and would never put another kid in it.

Tonight was your 1 year anniversary. He was going take you out to dinner, but his babysitter canceled. He told you he couldn't make it, ans he expected you to be upset. No, you show up to his door with a pizza, snacks and drinks.

He was definitely going to marry you one day.

He left to go wash his hands after he let you in. You sat on the couch, and here comes trudging in his 3 year old son, Forrest, right up to you, and looked up at you with teary eyes.
