AN: Okay I've redone this and this is a completely new story, my ideas got away from me in the other story and I realized that I had two ideas that weren't mergeing well so this is completely new and different. In this story it's been about 3 years that they've been together as a couple and there's no Wo Fat or anything like; this is just a fun kind of light hearted story.
Chapter 1
Everything had gone back to normal well what was normal for the team but Danny thought something was off with Steve; he seemed more emotional lately, he got frustrated more easily and sometimes he would keep Danny up all night but Danny wouldn't mind. He would try and help him get settled even though Danny thought that would never end but it did and he was thankful when he heard Steve softly breathing evenly indicating that he finally was asleep. Tonight they were lying in each others arms when Danny decided to ask, "Hey babe...are you feeling alright?"
"Yeah why?"
"Oh it's just something's been different lately-you've been more emotinal, had a hard time getting to sleep a few nights ago and you've been taking more risks out in the field which I do not like."
"Danny I'm sorry-' he suddenly jumped out of bed and ran to the bathroom where he threw up. Danny also ran in after him and got a washcloth and wet it under cool water and began to rub it across the back of his neck and his forehead.
"Are you alright babe?"
"Uh yeah I think I might be coming down with a stomach bug or something…" but what he was really thinking, 'Damn it…not again…I can't go through that kind of pain again but I know that it wasn't my fault I was in a near death crash that almost killed me. But the pain of burying my twins nearly killed me and I know that I had too much trauma from the crash but no parent should ever have to go through that when they weren't even born yet…"
"….Steven, hello earth to Steve…"
"Uh oh sorry, zoned out for a minute…what did you want?"
"I just asked if you were going to the doctor."
"Yeah I'll go tomorrow…tell the team that I'll be in a little later if I feel good if not then I'm coming back here."
"Ok will do…now if you think you're done emptying your stomach then I suggest we get back to bed and try to get a few more hours of sleep…and I'm telling you right now do not do your morning swim triathlon thingy not if you're coming down with something; you know it's alright to sleep in once in a while"
"You're right and I think that's a good idea…I am pretty tired"
They went back to bed where Danny immediately fell back to sleep but Steve's mind was racing and he couldn't shut it off—"What am I gonna do? Oh my god I can't believe a few weeks ago after a particularly hard case that hit us both in different ways made me forget to tell him to put on protection; god I'm such an idiot! Well that case was difficult and after we just both needed wanted each other and I got lost in the passion, got lost in his eyes that just made me forget to tell to tell him—yeah all it takes is one night of passion just one night. And now I am not sure how to tell him this secret that I've been keeping for 36 years; the only people who knew were my parents, my sister and a doctor who was friends with my dad. It just never came up and I never volunteered after what happened when I was a teen—man that was possibly the worst breakup in my life. My mom had only died a couple of years earlier then I got knocked up and the guy bolted saying some crap about me which hurt then I nearly die in a horrible car wreak, oh and I had a miscarriage and found out that it wasn't just one child that I had to bury no it was two and it was a boy and girl. That pain will never go away but I've learned to deal with it through the Seals which is compartmentalizing. I just hope Danny doesn't decide to bolt on me and take Gracie with him because I think I would just die…" he must've fallen asleep because the next he knew it was 8:00 and Danny was gently shaking him awake. He opened his eyes and smiled up at him who had a cup of coffee in his hands but the smell made him nauseous and again he bolted to the bathroom. "Danny, get that coffee out of here please."
He nodded and took it back downstairs then went back up to see about Steve who was now getting dressed after he put the phone on the bed.
"Was that the doctor?"
"Yes it was and he can see me now"
"I can go with you…"
Danny was cut off, "No Danno you head on to work and I'll be there later…please"
He just nodded and went ahead and got dressed then they both headed downstairs to the car and truck. They gave each other a quick goodbye kiss and headed off in their separate ways.
Once Steve got their Harm took him to his office and drew some blood then had it sent down to the lab but told them it took priority over their other lab results. He came back in and closed the door so they could talk while they wait.
"So you think it happened again Steve?"
"Yes…last night I was talking to Danny—he's my partner of 3 years now both on and off the work field—anyway I was going to tell him something then I just bolted to the bathroom and threw up. Then this morning he was holding a cup of coffee and again I got sick."
"Oh well is there anything else that would make you think that?"
"Well uhh…a couple of days ago I just couldn't get umm settled and I kept him up all night if you know what I mean."
"Yeah I do…well how about mood swings, food cravings, back aches?"
"Yes to all the above…speaking of cravings I've had to keep that one under wraps because I'm always eating healthy stuff and if Danny ever saw me eating malasadas I would never hear the end of it."
Before Harm could say anything else the lab tech came in with the results and handed them to him. He took the paper out and read it, "Well Steven it seems like your gut instinct was right. You are pregnant and according to this it looks like your 4 weeks along. I want to do an ultra sound and make sure the baby's doing okay."
"Yeah sure that's fine…wow I can't believe it…I just hope nothing bad happens this time because I don't think I could bury another child."
"Yeah I'm so sorry about that…I know if there was some way I could've stopped it I would've…"
"I know you would Doc…now the hard part is telling him, I mean what he is gonna say when I tell him that he got me knocked up."
"Look I may not know him personally but I've seen you guys on the news and I can tell by the way he looks at you that he loves you and would do anything for you. Now stop doubting yourself and let's look at the little one."
He nodded as he lay back on the table then he heard the most wonderful sound and that was his baby's heartbeat and then he saw the little one which made him smile.
When he got back to HQ he headed straight for his office to do paperwork; it had been quiet since their last hard case. Danny noticed that he had come in but didn't even say hello to him and this concerned him so he got up and went in to Steve's office.
"Steve…what did the doctor say?"
"Well the good news is that I don't have a stomach bug…" He knew he couldn't put this off any longer so he stopped working and grabbed Danny's hand and lead them over to his couch when they sat down.
"You…you love me right?"
"Yes Steven I do…now may I ask what is this about?"
"There's something that I need to tell you…but let me preface by saying that only my parents, Mary, and the doctor that I just saw knew about this. Not even Joe knew about this…"
"Okay babe you're scaring me now"
"Here just look…" he gave him the sonogram but just kept looking down at the floor.
At first Danny didn't know what to think till he saw it but his mind didn't get the connection and he automatically flew into a rant, "What the hell? You freaking cheated on me and got someone pregnant! How could you Steven Jack McGarrett! After 3 years…"now he was pacing around with arms flying every which way so Steve had to physically stop him. He grabbed Danny by the shoulders, "LOOK AT ME DANIEL, LOOK AT ME AND TRUST ME WHEN I SAY I NEVER NOR WILL I EVER CHEAT ON YOU; YOU GOT THAT."
Danny just blinked a couple of times, "Okay…I believe you but…"
"Shh…don't say anything just please sit down and let me explain…please"
Danny could hear the fear laced with desperation in his voice and the look in eyes immediately deflated him so he sat back down next to him and waved for him to continue. Steve let out a relief sigh, "Danny that's your baby" he flat out said."
"Excuse me…I have not been…oh wait a minute, what?"
"Danny I…I'm pregnant and it's yours"
He kept opening and closing his mouth but no words came out, Steve saw this and he found it funny and started laughing. "Steve what are you laughing at?"
"You—you knucklehead—you're imitating a fish…have I finally got you stumped?"
"Well yes if you must know and might I add by what the hell? I thought guys couldn't get pregnant."
"Yeah well apparently some of us are born differently…I just hope nothing bad happens this time"
"What do you mean this time?"
"Oh did I say that out loud?"
"Yes babe you did…what happened last time?"
"It happened a couple of years after mom had died and I was on the mainland. I had a boyfriend at the time then I got pregnant. I told him, he called me names and told me that he wasn't ready for that type of responsibility then just left. Needless to say that was the worst breakup I've ever gone through and after that I booked a flight to back here and decided that I wouldn't date anymore men. Dad was very understanding and he actually got excited that he was going to be a grandfather. I was 5 months along when I nearly died in a car crash which was totally not my fault. The light had just turned green and I waited a couple of seconds before going then all of sudden BAM I was hit on my side and the next thing I knew I was upside down then I passed out again. My dad said that the car flipped 4 times and they had to get the Jaws of Life to get me out. I went into a coma and woke up a couple of days later. I asked him how my baby was but the look on face and I knew that something wasn't right. He finally told me that there was too much trauma to my body and that I had a miscarriage then he also told me that I had been carrying twins—a boy and girl—I can't tell how much pain that put me through and let me tell you Danny as a parent you should never ever have to bury your children before they're even born; that's just not right. It was the worst pain I ever felt and never want to feel again. They would've been 15 years old today and who knows what they would've wanted to be…I try not think about it but sometimes I do when I'm sitting on the lanai just looking at the sunset. After I got out of the hospital I threw myself into the Navy and became a Seal then I met you and you just blasted down the walls I had built up around my heart. That's why I was afraid to tell you and that's why I still have my fears and doubts." Steve was now crying and he angrily wiped them away, "Damn hormones…god I hate this part"
"It's alright babe…I don't think any less of you and you know that family is the most important thing to me…hey look at me" he took his hand and put under Steve's chin and turned his head towards him then leaned in and kissed him, "Babe I'm right here and I'm not going anywhere." He stated as he put his hand over Steve's stomach and held it protectively and smiled, "Well isn't this just peachy—I've got a Neanderthal of a boyfriend who's an ex-Navy Seal whose way too trigger happy, gets into more firefights and combat fights that I can count and combine that with hormones—oh dear god I think I'll move in with Kono or Chin."
"And why would you move in me or Kono?" Chin asked as he walked in. Danny looked at Steve who nodded a yes to go ahead and tell him, "Chin why don't you call Kono in here also. We've got some news; don't worry it is exciting news"
"Okay" Chin said slowly and called her in, "What do you want Chin?" "They have some good news and they wanted all of us to be in here when they announced it." "Oh alright…so what is it?"
Steve and Danny were both sporting wide smiles, "Well I'm gonna be a daddy again and Steve here is pregnant"
"Yay I'm gonna be an Auntie! But oh boy…Steve and hormones don't mix"
"Yeah tell me about Kono…it explains everything from the cravings to the morning sickness to keeping me up all night"
"Okay whoa there brah…we don't want to know about that but I'm very happy for you…"
"Thanks man…"
"So how far along are you?" Kono asked as she walked over to him and put her hand on his stomach to which Steve just smiled, "I'm only 4 weeks but I heard the baby's heartbeat…oh ya'll should've heard it—it fast and strong—ugh damn hormones" he said as he again wiped away tears.
"I love you so much" Danny said, "And thanks—thank you for giving me this little miracle"
Steve smiled and kissed him with everything he had it soon became heated and they forgot that Kono and Chin were in there but they decided to take their exit and go get dinner.
AN: Well the reason I did this curve ball is because I'm always reading about Danny getting pregnant and I thought well what if just what if it was Steve who got pregnant. What would Danny do? You know it's just one of those little things that gets into your minds and won't go away…hope you like it and please review
