Falling backwards
After Cath's death McGarrett is forced to raise his son, but when a case goes terribly wrong. His own life might be in grave danger as well as Alex's
Steve McGarrett wasn't the daddy type. At least he didn't think so. Sure Danno had Gracie but thanks to his dad he wasn't ready for what was to come
"Steve McGarrett?" an old man asked Kono
"I´m sorry, may I ask who is asking?" Kono said
"I really need to talk to your boss" he said firmly
"How do you know he's my boss?" she asked
"I have my ways, now I need to talk to him" the man stood quietly as Kono went looking for Steve
"What?" he asked annoyingly "I haven't slept in 12 hours" he stirred on the couch as Kono and now Chin opened the door
"You have to come out here boss" Chin said. McGarrett passed a hand trough his face
"Coming" he yawned tiredly as he joined the cousins and was quickly met by Danno
The man stood quietly at the place Kono had left him "Steve McGarrett?" he shook hands with the commander "my name is Thomas Getty; I'm here on behalf of Catherine Rollins"
"Cath?" McGarrett repeated. Mr. Getty gave Steve a sympathetic look and continued
"There is been an incident" he said quietly. Danny Williams gasped
"What kind of incident?" Chin asked. Mcgarret seemed to have lost his voice
"She was on an undercover mission…" but before he could continue Steve cut him off "she never goes undercover…"
"Those where special circumstances" Mr. Getty said "I'm sorry to tell you this, but Mrs. Rollins has passed away"
Steve hearts sank. The only thing he could think of now was the small 14 month old baby Cath had been raising. His baby. He had known about his existence for a while but because Catherine had been recently transferred he had only seen Alex once or twice since he was born
"What about the baby?" Steve shared a look with Danny. Chin placed a hand on his elbow
"He's been placed with social services in the mean time" Mr. Getty said
"When did it happen?" Steve asked quietly
"Two days ago" the man said " Alex has been under the system's care since then"
He was about to collapse but didn't. He wanted to cry but he couldn't. He couldn't believe this was happening
He flew to Seattle to pick up Alex. During his flight he had finally time to freak out. He really didn't know anything about raising a baby. His job wasn't made for kids. Danno was clearly a proof of it
As he sat in the waiting room. He began to make a list on his head about all the things he had to go buy. Then he saw him. His blue eyes sparkled back at him. For a moment his heart rested on the little boy that smiled and had stolen him completely
