Grace Williams is a very capable 17 year old, she had a car, went to cheer practice every other evening, helped look after charlie her younger brother and was enjoying her senior year when the unthinkable happened to her family. His illness had relapsed and his best bet was to go to the main land for treatment so of course that's where Charlie, Rachel and Danny had gone. Both Rachel and Danny wanted Grace to go with them but it was her senior year, she had cheer finals coming up and was well settled and happy in school. So for that reason after hours of dilibiration Danny did the unthinkable, after much logistic planning Steve had signed over legal guardian ship for the next 6 months whilst her family were doing what was needed. While there were many tears from Grace when her family left she new they needed to go and she needed to finish the year, plus she got to stay with Uncle Steve and the rest of her ohana. Steve hadn't thought all the planning was necessary as both him and Grace were capable of living together and not killing one another unlike at times with her parents but Steve hadn't said anything so that he didn't worry Danny as everyone new this was a big step for the over protective parent. Grace new the rules and new that Uncle Steve would stick to them to keep her father happy but also new if she was straight out with him about where she was going he would be more willing to accept and more flexible than her father. Yesterday had been the day that she had finally moved in and the same day that Dano, Rachel and Charlie had left the island.
Just after they'd left Steve had sat Grace down in the living room and said
"You know I'm not your father and I'm not planning on turning into him however to make this work we need to have some agreements"as she nodded Steve continued "if your going go anywhere tell me, call me, text me or leave a note don't just dissapear, if you want to go to a part as the end of the year is approaching just tell me and we'll sort it out without Dano knowing, if you miss them tell me and we'll do something special for you, if you need anything ask me I really am not scary, and make sure your in school you know how he got when you truented that one time let's not let it happen again working together we'll get through this yeah?" Steve questioned he didn't need a verbal reply Grace coming and giving him a hug was more than enough to please him.
"Right let's go sort out your room then" Steve stated and started of up the stairs with Grace hot on his heels
When upstairs in her room Grace started on putting her clothes away and Steve got all the paintings, signs, posters ect that she wanted up and grabbed his tool box to hang them up. An hour or so later after much changing of mind, banter and laughter her room was pretty much sorted with only her books and CDs left to unpack so they decided to go to kamakonos for dinner. After parking Steve and Grace jumped out of the van and went to sit down. They enjoyed a nice dinner just the two of them joking and catching up on things that couldn't be talked about around her dad (which is most of her life) and just enjoying each other's company.
"Uncle Steve" grace ventured unsure of how to go on "I was wondering, well it was just, we have a football game on Friday that were cheering at and basically, well it just one of the routines during half time everyone's dad is coming and putting us onto there shoulders for Father's day and we'll obviously Danos on the main land and I was wondering weather you would come with me" blushing she look up just to see Steve staring directly at her and without missing a beat replied
"I'd love to" Grace instantly felt a smile spread across her lips greatfull for her uncle
"Plus" uncle Steve started "not only do I get to watch football but I get to see you cheering" smiling Grace and Steve finished there dinner just chatting generally before heading back to Steve's for a nice chill evening bfore getting ready for bed.
