Hawaii

Disclaimer

The characters of Steve McGarrett and anyone else who might sound familiar do not belong to me in any shape or form, I am merely using them for my own entertainment purposes

The character of Danni Williams is probably mine by now. Even though she was originally based on male Danny Williams I think it's probably safe to say that's she turned into her own individual character with her own set of beliefs and personality, especially since I've created a back ground for her which is different to male Danny's background in the show. This also affects Grace who is different from the show as well in ways.

The character of Evie Taylor, Michael Landon, Duncan Taylor belong to me as well

I should also add that if a character is mentioned who you are not instantly aware of then that character belong to me as well

Author Note

Here's the first chapter of the second part of the 'Theo' saga

This story continues on from 'One night was all it took' so if you haven't read that story first then it might make sense to go back and read that story otherwise a lot of what is in this chapter won't make any sense at all.

This part of the saga will probably be around eighteen chapters long just like the first one. I plan to update regularly though I don't know exactly how regularly that will be.

Nothing more to say really except I hope you enjoy the story!

Chapter Romance

Steve McGarrett / Danni Williams (McDanni)

Chapter One

Steve McGarrett blinked as Danni Williams words slowly sank in to his mind.

"Hawaii?" He repeated in disbelief watching as she nodded and turned towards him, leaning against the counter behind her and giving him a moment to appreciate the picture she presented unconsciously to him. She looked gorgeous, her long blond hair plaited to the side making her look younger than she was. She was dressed simply in a pair of jeans and an oversized shirt with a vest top underneath. He focused when she sighed, her hand coming up to rub at the back of her neck as her grey eyes flickered away from him to look out of the window for a moment before she looked back at him.

"Hawaii" She confirmed. "We're going to Honolulu if that makes it any better. I wouldn't have left without sending you word first, even if I had to send the new address to your Commander Officer then I would have" She told him. Steve nodded, turning to look at Theo when the small baby grabbed his t-shirt with one hand, chewing down on his fist with the other. Dribble going down his chin. "Here" Danni said, turning and grabbing a soft looking blue towel from the side and throwing it to Steve who caught it with his free hand. "He's beginning to teeth hence the dribbling" She explained. "Just grab his chewing toy from his baby chair and he'll be content"

"Sure" Steve said, still trying to wrap his head around her news as he followed her instructions grabbing the blue ring and offering it to his son who stared at it for a moment before blessing Steve with a wide gummy smile and snatched it from him, stuffing it into his mouth and gumming it. "When are you moving exactly?" He asked her, looking back as she turned and began packing again.

"Technically in two weeks' time but my brothers Nate and David are flying out there to find us a place to live. Nate actually has some business there for the family company and David is on leave at the moment so they offered and I accepted. Once they found a place I can start sending this out there so it's there when we arrive" She explained, flashing him a smile. "You know you're actually taking this a lot better than I thought you would" She commented, an undercurrent of relief to her voice.

"I was born and raised in Hawaii until I was fifteen Danni" He admitted, watching her eyes widen in surprise at his news. "I've always meant to go back but there just haven't been time. Now I have a reason to return. Have you given your brothers a list of things we need in our house?" Steve asked her, ignoring the way her eyebrow rose at the comment.

"I gave them the basics of what I required and a price range" She answered with a shrug. "David is my twin brother, he knows what I like and what I don't like. Having him out there is as good as me going myself." She told him with a smile.

"Can you text them and tell them to add another 750 grand onto the price range and for them to try and find a place which either has a private beach or a swimming pool" He told her, adjusting Theo in his arms, he tilted his head and nuzzled his nose into Theo's soft hair, breathing in the scent of his baby and letting it calm him. He had waited six months to hold him son and he wasn't planning on letting go anytime soon.

"You want to buy the house together?" Danni questioned him carefully, a thoughtful look in her eyes as she met his. He nodded.

"Yeah I do and I won't take no for an answer Danni, wherever you and Theo are is home to me. If you say that you have to move to Hawaii then we'll move to Hawaii but if we're going there and we'll be there for a while then buying a good sized house which would allow Grace, Evie and Theo to have their own room and space is vital. Getting a place with at least two or even three spare rooms would be good because then we can have people round to visit and in the future if we ever have another child then the room could be turned into a nursery for them." He told her, reaching out and catching Theo's teething ring before it could fall to the floor and passing it back to his son who took it eagerly with another smile at Steve.

"You've given this a lot of thought" Danni remarked, a strange tone to her voice which he hadn't heard before.

"I just spent six months in hell Danni, thinking about you and Theo was the only thing which kept me going out there so maybe I planned some things out in case I got back here. I was going to suggest we get a place together, admittedly here on the mainland but going back to Hawaii is no hardship for me." He stated with a shrug before he frowned slightly. "What made you pick Hawaii anyway?" He asked.

Danni opened her mouth for a moment before she closed it, frowning slightly as though she was choosing her words carefully before she spoke.

"My ex-husband Duncan was given a promotion by his bank and he's been made manager of their new branch in Hawaii which means he has to move out there. He asked if I would go with him because of the girls and I agreed." She told him. Steve blinked at her.

"What?" He asked.

"Duncan and I remained friends Steve, good friends at that so when he asked I made a few calls to find out what it would be like working there. Turns out that he has a cousin out there who works on the police force. I spoke to him and asked him to put some fillers out for me and sent him a copy of my CV and the Captain of the Detective unit rang me himself and offered me a job out there. The pay is more than I earn now and they are willing to accommodate the fact that I have children. My brother Nate will be over there a lot as well so it made sense so I accepted the job and told Duncan. He's flying out there in a couple of days. Grace and Evie love their Dad Steve, I would never separate them."

"Yeah but what about you?" Steve demanded, glancing at Theo, realising that his son was asleep, his gently lowered him into the car chair, making sure he was comfortable before he turned back to Danni. "You love it here and you love your job and you're just giving it all up to move to a place where you know no one?" He asked in disbelief.

"Firstly I know someone on the island and secondly this is how parenting works Steve. Duncan and I have a custody agreement, a very good custody agreement, he can easily take me back to court and get a better deal for himself. What if the judge splits it half and half? I couldn't spend six months away from my daughters. It's easier this way" She stated firmly.

Steve wanted to argue the point but he recognised the look in her eyes. She wasn't going to change her mind and if he pushed it then he could lose her.

"Okay then, I just wanted to be sure that you had thought this through Danni that's all." He said, leaning back against the table and crossing his arms over his chest.

"I have and I've discussed it with everyone as well." She assured him, turning and moving over towards him stopping in front of him. "Duncan and I are just friends if that's what you're worried about." She promised him, her eyes warm as she looked at him. He reached out and wrapped his arms around her pulling her towards him and captured her lips in a soft kiss which she happily replied to.

"I'm not worried about that" He told her when he leaned back, reaching up with his hand and framing her face. "God I've missed you" he murmured, stealing another kiss.

"We've missed you as well. How long are you off this time?" She questioned, her face turning curious when he grinned at her.

"Three weeks so I'll be here to help you move to Hawaii" He stated.

"Help would be good" She said before she gave him a curious look. "You said you were born and lived in Hawaii, does that mean you still have family there?" She asked. Steve froze for a second, his eyes flickering away from hers for a second before he looked back at her.

"My father lives there but we don't speak at all, we haven't really spoken since I was fifteen after my mother died. He had some form of breakdown I guess and sent me and my sister to the mainland. My Sister Mary was sent to live with my Aunt Debs in LA and I was sent to live with my Uncle Michael in Maryland. I think it was meant to be a temporary move but he never asked for us back. I haven't been back to Hawaii since then" He told her quietly. Danni remained quiet for a moment, before she reached out and cupped his face.

"I'm sorry sweetheart" She said searching his eyes.

"It's the way it is" He responded with a shrug. "My Uncle and Aunt are great people, they treated me like I was one of their own kids, and they've always viewed me as a son which reminds me. I want you and Theo and the girls to come with me to see them. They want to meet their first grandkid" He said, nodding his head toward Theo who was sleeping peacefully still.

"When?" She asked him.

"Before we move to Hawaii, maybe next week?" He questioned.

"We'll see what we can do" She remarked leaning forward and kissing him before she moved back. "Right now though you can help me out by packing while I check on the girls" She said, grabbing his hand and pulling his to his feet before she moved around him and pushed him towards the boxes.

Steve shook his head as he moved towards the half full boxes. His mind whirling at the thought of going back to Hawaii, knowing that his father was still on there.

He frowned, forcing himself to pay attention to the job at hand.

He could work his mixed feelings out later.
