With your 12 point hand you need to force to game. It would also be nice to find out if partner has a 4-card suit. Since you have East's ♠ suit stopped, you first bid a lebensohl 2NT.

Partner says 3♣. What do you bid?

NOW you cue-bid 3♠. This is Stayman, but with a ♠ stopper, (SLOW SHOWS). Partner says 3NT and you pass.
