Hey guys, so this idea has been niggling in the back of my mind for some time now so I put fingers to keyboard and wrote it out. This so the first chapter and there is an OC please let me know what you think and I'll then decide whether I should continue or not! And just FYI, this is based about the time of end of season three, beginning of four. ENJOY!

Joanna stepped out into the hot Hawaiian heat that Saturday morning and took a deep breath. She was back after five years.
"Mommy, I see Aunty Mary." Her six year old son, Kai said.
"Well be better get over to her then." Joanna smiled leaning down to kiss him quickly. "Come Leilani." She said to her daughter."
They walked quickly over to Mary with Joanna pulling her bags behind her. "Mar!" She smiled and rushed forward to hug the other woman."
"Oh my God! I missed you so much Jo!" She pulled away. "I'm glad your back."
"Just because I'm back here, doesn't mean I'm back with him." She said.
Mary ignored the comment and pulled Leilani into a hug. "Hey girl, look at you." Mary eyed the ten year old dressed in a pale pink summer dress and converse. "How's the boyfriend?" She teased.
"Aunty Mary!" Leilani giggled before giving her a massive hug.
Mary winked. "Oh we're not telling your mom yet, I get it." Then she turned to the six year old. "Hey Kai." She smiled.
Kai attempted to smile but it failed. Mary gave him a huge hug. "Don't worry. We'll fix you." She pulled away and helped Joanna put all the bags in her car before getting in herself. "Right everyone got their seat belts on?"
"Yes!" Leilani said. Joanna nodded and Kai remained silent.
"Good good. I don't want to get pulled over again." She said before starting to drive back to her house. Well it wasn't her house. It was the McGarrett family home before everything had happened. Mary had move back to the island about two years ago and about three years after Steve. She had wanted to be back home. And now she was. Steve began living in their old childhood home after it happened and Mary had rented the marital home after Joanna left.
As she pulled up outside the house, she heard Joanna take a deep breath and her dark blue eyes filled with tears. Mary placed a reassuring hand on her arm. "Don't worry."
Joanna nodded gratefully before jumping out. Her children and Mary did the same. "So kids, this was your old home."
"With daddy?" Kai whispered.
Joanna looked down at her young son, a spitting image of his father, and her heart broke. "Yes babe, with daddy." She lifted him into her arms and followed Mary and Leilani into the house.


"So I invited him over for dinner." Mary said as Joanna sat on a counter in the kitchen eating grapes. Kai was drawing at the kitchen table and Leilani was playing with her dolls. They'd only been back for a week and the house was already a tip. There were kids toys and clothes everywhere but Mary loved it. It felt like everyone was back were they belonged.
"What? Mary I don't want to see him-"
"I don't care! You guys need to talk. It's been like five years. You've both moved on, surely you can have a grown up conversation."
"Nothing about him is grown up."
Joanna muttered. But she didn't protest anymore. "And I guess I'm cooking."
Mary grinned. "You know me so well." Then she jumped off the counter she was sitting on and walked over to the table. "Come on guys, lets go get ready. Daddy is coming over in about an hour."
Leilani and Kai's heads shot up at the word daddy. They saw him occasionally when their parents separated but it was hard because he was here in Hawaii and they were in New York. But they were going to see him now.
Mary grabbed their hands and dragged them upstairs to get changed.
Joanna opened the fridge and tried to think about what she should make. But he kept coming into her mind. She thought she had healed from all the pain he had caused her five years ago. But she hadn't. He was always away, always at sea, always with her. He had sworn nothing was happening between them but she was convinced. And then they moved to Hawaii after his dad died. She snapped. And she took the kids and went back to the mainland. And he let her. He'd come to visit the kids a few times at first but then the trips became more spread out and eventually stopped. And now because of work she had been forced back to Hawaii.
The doorbell rang and Joanna was pulled out of her thoughts. She quickly looked at herself in the mirror. She was wearing denim shorts and a mustard tank top, her brown hair was pulled into a messy ponytail and her makeup was beginning to smudge. But what did she care. She walked over to the front door as she heard movement and squeals upstairs. The kids had already realised who was here.
Joanna took a deep breath and opened the door. And there he stood. As gorgeous as ever in a pair of jeans and a tight white t-shirt holding a bunch of lilies. Steve McGarrett.
