Inner feelings
It had been a long week and weekend! Thankfully it was mid-Monday morning. Danno had not been able to have Grace the past weekend because of the case they just finished. Before they head off to the Five-O's HQ they decide to stop by and get some food at Kamekona's shack. Steve was ordering for Danno and himself. It always amazed Danno that his Steve knew what to order for him on any given day or moment. 'Why did McGarrett aka Lover Seal know him like a book' Danno thought while phoning their Grace.
"Hi Rachael, did you get my text and did Grace understand why we could not pick her up for the scheduled weekend." Steve sat the food down and sat close to Danno so he could 'listen' to Grace's conversation. That is what he would tell anyone who may ask but the truth was his heart raced a little more when he was this close to his Danno. Steve was even sure it would be even better the closer he was to him.
"Yes Danny, I did and I let Grace know it. She told me she had a feeling and that you guys would be all right. She is trying to play mother to me. Can you believe she is always trying to take care of us (meaning her, Danno and even Steve)?" Rachael was getting use to Steve since Grace now spent her weekends at Steve's house. Steve had his room, Grace used Mary's old childhood room, Danno used Steve's old childhood room, and they still had a guest room. Plus Danno's apartment was really run down and in a bad section of town. She felt her daughter would be safe in the house and around the house. Grass to play in; also she would be able to swim or surf
"She does indeed do that when she is with us." Danno smiling at Steve with their eyes saying it all and twinkling at each other. This is one of the reasons why so many think they are married already. They can't see themselves but Chin & Kono who had sat down shortly after Steve could see it again.
Rachael was going to make the guys day. "Do you want Grace tonight? She is out of school tomorrow since the teacher's have their work day."
Without hesitation, they both said, "Yes."
When they were done making the full night and day schedule Danno put the phone on speaker. Danno started first.
"Hi Monkey."
"Hi Gracie" Steve said at the same time.
"Hi Danno & Uncle Steve! (Her voice enthusiastic from hearing their voices.) I told Mom you would be all right and to not worry. I also knew you would not stand me up for my weekend if you did have something important to do. (All four thinking she was wise for her years.)
"That is right Gracie", said her uncle Steve.
"Well your Mom told us you do not have school tomorrow. We know you missed our weekend with you. So instead of coming only for a few hours on Wednesday, how would you like to spend the night & spend time tomorrow over there."
Quickly Steve adds in, "I gave everyone the day off for doing a great job." He was trying for brownie points with Gracie which in turn meant maybe he could win a little more of his Danno's heart.
"When can I come over, can I come now, I'll have all my stuff together by the time you are here, Can Aunt Kono & Uncle Chin come over for a barbeque tonight, Aunt Kono or Uncle Chin can you hear me will one or both of you come over tomorrow & help me with some surfing?"
"Monkey, I said I will let them off tomorrow & as soon as we are done with our paperwork then we can come get you." Said Steve smirking at Danno as his eyes were dancing with delight. Also all three of them giving Danno a look of a little mini Danno rant. "I will tell you what, when we are done with the paperwork we will come get you."
"Danno can you talk Uncle Steve into having a cook out with steaks & pineapple on the grill the way he does for me. Also would you ask Aunt & Uncle if they will also come if Uncle Steve says 'ok'".
"Monkey I think you just did that yourself; plus you have Uncle Steve wrapped around your little finger along with your Aunt & Uncle." Danno knowing this is her Ohana for the rest of her life.
"Monkey I will do that for you. When we pick you up we'll go to the grocery store & you can pick up the dinner menu." Steve had said and he could hear her squeal ever so quietly. At the same time giving his Danno a provocative wink and a lustful smile. Again he could not see what he was showing the world because he felt he was in his own private world.
First it was Kono who spoke, "Grace we will be there for a barbeque even if our bosses do not invite us. Because you are the boss of all bosses." Grace could hear laughter coming from Kono and all the others, which got her to start giggling along with them.
Next it was Chin's turn, "Also my brave little niece I will take you out tomorrow for some surfing lessons. We will then challenge Kono & Steve to a race. I do not think Danno will want to join us. He is too afraid of Team Grace/Chin." Again another laughter session starts out.
They finally said 'good-bye for now & see you later'. When Danno got up after Steve he stepped into Steve's personal space to hug him tightly. He then stepped away only with his head to look into Steve's Ocean blue eyes. Steve could feel himself wanting to desperately kiss Danno on the lips. But he quickly could feel Kono & Chin's eyes on them and yelled "Group Hug". They headed to the office to do their paperwork on the case & let the Governor know that the inner-circle of the Five-O team was taking off tomorrow. The Governor gave them his heartfelt thanks & told them to enjoy the time off. Just as Steve was to hang up with the Governor; The Governor told them he had sent a quartet of lovely Champagne bottles each having traditional lei's around them. Which had arrived as the Governor was talking about it.
