Marsha Marie Langdon
Joe Alex Sheppard
on November 25 of 2016
Followed by a reception
Grazing her fingers over the invitation, Camilla took the cup up to her lips. She played the invitation on the table, as she took her old yearbook and placed in front of her, and she opened it and looked through it until she came to a picture of herself. Standing beside a boy. The boy was resting his face on her shoulder and he had his arms around her waist, and they were both smiling. She ran the tip of her fingers over the names below the picture. (Camilla Maria Benson and Steven McGarret)
She closed her eyes as she remembered the last three words he said to her."I love you." She opens her eyes to look down at the picture one last time, with a sad smile on her face, as she closes the book as she slides it onto the other side of the table, as she tears feet coming running down the stairway.
Camilla smiles when she sees her twin boys coming around the corner and sits down by the table.
"What you looking at?" The oldest of the twins asked her as he takes the invitation in to his hand to look at it.
"Some old friend of mine from high school is getting married," She tells him.
"We are going to Hawaii?" He asked her, looking up from the invitation in his hand.
"Mom is going, not us." The younger twin says, as he smacks him upside the head.
"Hey." Camilla says, as she pointed her finger at him." Don't hit your brother, Evan."
"Sorry, mom." He says as he takes the yearbook in to his hands.
"This is your yearbook?" Evan asked.
Camilla leans in over the table to take the book from him, and she looks through it, and she turns it around to show them a picture of herself from when she was 16 years old.
"That is you, mom." The Kavan, asked her.
"Hmm." She smiled at them.
"Mom was a babe." Evan said as he smiled.
"Hey. What do you mean was?" She asked as she walks in to the kitchen to start dinner.
"Who is that?" She hears Kavan asked her.
"What?" She asked as she turns around to see the picture of her and Steve.
"OH." She smiles as she looks up at the twines." That was someone I was closes to in high school." She said as she turns back around.
"What do you guys say about going to Hawaii with me?" She asked, as she turns around with the best fake smile she can come up with..
"Are you for real?" Both boys ask her with smiled all over their faces.
"Sure. Why not, it been some time sense we when on a real vacation together.
"This is going to be so cool, we can go surfing." Evan said, as he high fived his brother.
"And hiking." Kavan said.
"We leave next week. So-"Camilla leans in over the table as both boys runs up the stairs. "So, no Football on Sunday." She yells after them.
"Yeah, sure mom." Came from Evan.
"Cool, no football." Kavan yelled.
Camilla laugh, as she shacked her head at the boys, only to have the smile disappear form her face as she looks down to see the picture of Steve.
"You don't know if he still lives there." Camilla tells herself." He might not even come." She told herself as she took a hold of the wine bottle and poured herself a glass.
"Who am I kidding, Joe is his best friend." Camilla tells herself as she runs a hand over her face.
Three days later
"Mom, I got to go." Kavan tells her as he jumps up and down.
Camilla turns to look at her son. They had only just arrived on Oahu, she was about to say something when she heard a women calls out her name.
"Aunt Marsha!" Evan calls out.
Camilla turns around to see her son walking up to her oldest and dearest friend.
"Oh my god. "Marsha laughs as she pulls Evan in to a hug." You boys keep on getting so big." She tells him as she lays a kiss on his hair, and she pulls him away from her so she can get a good look at him.
"Camilla!" Marsha says as she walks up and the hug each other.
"It`s been too long." She whispers in to Camilla`s ear.
"Hey aunt Marsha." Kavan says as he walks up to them. "Mom." He says as he nodded his head towards the restrooms.
"Go-go-"Camilla says, holding out her hand out to him.
Camilla, laughs at she sees her son running through the crowd of people, saying sorry as he goes along.
"Mom, can I have some money?" Evan asked her as he looks over to the shop.
"Hmm." Camilla says as she digs through her handbag and given him some money.
"Thanks, mom." He says, turning around, walking in to the shop.
"The look more and more like him, each time I see them." Marsha says as she looks at Camilla.
"I know." Camilla tells her, with sadness in her voice.
Camilla sees the look on Marsha`s face and she knows what is on her mind, and she shakes her head at her." I know what you are going to say."
"What am I going to say?" Marsha asked her with a innocent look on her face.
"Why haven't I told Steve about the boys?"
"He has a right to know. They are his kids, Camilla." Marsha says as she looks over her shoulder, and Camilla turns to see her son walking out of the restroom.
"I can`t not yet, anyways." She says as she turns around to look at her friend.
"You should know-"Marsha stops what she is about to say as Kavan walks up to them.
"I am hungry." He says, looking towards Camilla.
"Oh my god." Camilla says as she handled him some money." Go, your brother is over by the shop." She tells him.
She laughs as she sees the boys shove each other as kavan walks by Evan. "Dose boys are going to be the death of me."
"Steve is –"
Camilla hold up her finger as she hears her phone ring, looking down to the number as she let`s out a deep breath." I have to take this call."
"I go, wait with the boys." Marsha says.
"Thank you." Camilla tells her as she takes the call.
"Yes!"
"We have a problem." She hears a voice tell her on the other end of the call.
"Well, hello to you to." Camilla says as she looks over at the shop.
"Camilla, the want the book by the end of next month." The voice tells her.
"I can`t do that, I am out of town for the next two weeks. I told you this, Mark"
"I know and I am sorry, But-"
Camilla, is about to say something when someone pushed her out of the way, and she turns around to see a man running through the crowd of people pushing them of the way.
"Watch where you are going, asshole." Camilla yell after the man as she turns around look at the shop as she kept on talking in to the phone, so she didn't see the man turning around to look at her.
"McGarret. Move your ass."
Steve turns to look after Danny, before he turns around , hoping to see the women's face, But the women walks through the crowd and he follows her movement, and what he sees makes his blood turn cold. He sees Marsha standing there talking to the women. The women turn her head as she laugh as something Marsha said, and he sees her face.
"Steve!" he hears Danny yells.
Steve can`t believe what he is seeing. There she is standing the one woman he never got over, his childhood crush, the girl that broke his heart.
"Come one man." Danny yells.
Steve looked at her for a few more seconds, before he turns and runs after Danny up the stairs. He pushed people out of the way as he tried to catch up to Danny, and when he runs up the stairs, he sees Danny sitting on top of the man, that is now laying on the floor.
"Did you stop for Coffee or something?" Danny asks him.
Steve looks down at Danny with an annoyed look on his face.
"What?" Danny asked him as she shook his shoulders, As he stand up as he takes a hold of the man's elbow, pulling him up alongside with him.
Danny turns around to look at Steve, and he looked like he seen a ghost." You okay man?"
"Yeah, why do you ask?" Steve says as he pulls out the handcuffs out from behind his back and handcuffs the man, and pushed him to walk in front of them.
Steve pulls the man to a stop by the balcony, and he looks down to see if he can spot her anywhere.
Danny seeing this leans over the balcony to looks down as well." What are we looking for?" Danny asks, but when he does not get an answer, he looks over to Steve and what he sees makes him at lost for words. There is pain and sadness all over Steve`s face.
Danny had known Steve for six years now, and he had only seen that look twice before. Once when Mary when missing and then men had taking Catherine. The next thing Danny sees is Steve pulling the man down the stairs.
"Hey man that hurts." The guy in the handcuffs says.
"Shut up and keep on walking." Steve tells him as he gives him a push.
Danny doesn't say anything, because of the look on Steve`s eyes. They are filled with pain and hurt. As the walk through the crowd of people, Danny sees Steve keeps looking around.
The ride back to the places is met with silence, and Danny does not know what to say to the man. Because the way he is holding on to the staring wheel says it all. Steve is pissed.
When they come to a stops sign, Danny looks over at Steve.
Steve turns to look at Danny."What?" Steve asks him pissed.
"What is up with you? Ever sins we left the airport, you been having this pissed of look all over your face." Danny tells him.
Steve turns to look out the window of the car, and as he turns to look at the road, Danny sees sadness is now on the other man`s face and that scared him the fuck out.
"Does this have something to do with the call you been, you been ducking all week?"
Steve looks down as he hears his phone ring, and he takes it up in his hand and sees the number and Danny can see, whoever is on the other end of the call, is so death.
"You sorry piece of-."
"Steve you have to hear me out." The man on the other end tells him.
"Did you know she was back in town? Joe." Steve asks him as he looks to see the green light.
"You know there was a chance she would come. She is Marsha`s best friend.
"You are still an asshole." Steve tells him as he starts the car and drives down the street.
"You should talk to her, man. It has been 17 years."
"I got nothing to say to her." Steve says ending the call, and he grapes the wheel harder as he looks death ahead.
This is about a woman?" Danny asked him with disbelieves on his face.
"Shut up!" Steve tells him.
An hour later
Camilla get out of the car, and she put the sunglasses on her face as she looks up at the sky.
"Will you look at that!" Camilla hears Kavan says and she turns around to see the twins leaning there head to the side, and Camilla turns around to see what they are looking at. And she sees a young girl walking in to the hotel.
Kavan smiled to himself as he leans his head to the side, as he looks the girl up and down. But someone slaps him hard on the arm.
"Aaa." He turns to look at his brother." What the –" Kavan sees his brother pointing a finger behind him, and he looks around his brother to see his mother, standing there looking at them with an raised eyebrow.
"Hey, mom." Kavan says as he smiles at her.
"When you boys are done staring the poor girl. Would you mind getting the bags out of the car?" She asks them.
Camilla smiles when she hears an of course and sure mom, coming from the two boys.
Camilla turns around to see Marsha is on the phone and she looked like she is an headed conversion, with some on.
"I don't care, Joe!" Marsha says as end the call.
"What? You guys fighting already." Camilla asked her with a smile on her face.
"Camilla?"
"What is it?" Camilla asks.
"Steve knows you are here." Marsha tells her as she bits her lower lip.
"How? We only have been her like an hour." Camilla tells her.
"Joe called him and Steve asked him if he knew you, were back in town." Marsha walks around the car and she stopped in front of Camilla.
"You know there was a chance-"
"Yea, but not so soon." Camilla tells her as she takes of the sunglasses and rubbed her eyes. "He can`t."
"Mom, Aunt Marsha you coming?" Camilla hears Evan calls out to them.
"We will be right there." Camilla says as she turns around to give the two boys a smile. Before she turns back to Marsha." I need more time.
"Camilla!"
"Can we not do this, right now?" Camilla asks her, holding up a hand.
"Sure, but you will have to deal with it because if he finds out about the boys." Marsha tells her.
"I know-I know." Camilla says as she turns around and walk in to the hotel with Marsha following her.
