In sickness and in health

Official Disclaimer
The characters of Steve McGarrett, Chin Ho Kelly, Kono Kalakaua, Jenna Kaye, Adam 'Toast' Charles and anyone else within the story 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 could probably be considered mine by now. Although the character was originally based on male Danny Williams I think it's probably to say that she is now her own individual character. She has her own story and her own individual background now, a background and story which is different from male Danny's story. This also means that Grace is different as well since not only does she live full time with her mother but also because Danni and Duncan have a fairly civil relationship with each other. Grace's surname is also Taylor in this saga as Williams is Danni's maiden name while Taylor was her married name.
The characters of Rosie Lange, Riley King, Jack O'Connor and David Williams do belong to me though.
I should also add that if a character is mentioned who you don't recognise from the show then they probably belong to me as well.
Author Note
Welcome to in sickness and in health.
This is just a group of snippets based on either Steve or Danni being ill or injured in some way and how the other reacts. Most of the snippets will be short, some will be long and there's no strict updating schedule for it at the moment.
I've been in a slump recently due to ill health so I'm just glad that I'm writing again. I'll be trying to complete my work in process with the aim of hopefully updating something once a week base on my health.
Please enjoy.

Other note
Nearly all the places I have stated within this story are either made up or have been gotten from google so I'm sorry in advance if I've got anything wrong or anything.
Snippet one
"Danni, if you've ever cared anything about me or the rest of the team then please, please go and speak to your partner and get him to go home before he infects the rest of us with whatever plague he's currently incubating."
Danni Williams looked up from the case file she was reading to see Kono Kalakaua standing in the doorway of her office, a look on her face which was torn between frustration and annoyance.
"Steve has the plague?" Danni repeated absently, raising an eyebrow at the loud sigh that her response caused.
"You've gotten way too caught up in your paperwork again Danni if you haven't noticed that Steve has been ill all of today, the boss man is miserable and in turn he's decided to make all of your lives miserable. We all know that you're the only one who has any chance of getting through to him so go to him and make him see sense. I've a date this weekend and no desire to be ill for it just because the boss is too stubborn for his own good." Kono stated, crossing her arm over her chest.
"Okay, okay Kono" Danni said, holding up her hand in a peaceful motion. "Relax, I'll go and speak to him now and try and make him see some sense. If he's as ill as you say then he shouldn't even be here today. The last thing we need right now is for the rest of the team to come down with whatever it is he's managed to catch."
"Thank God, I told the others that we could rely on you. I'll let them know, good luck, let me know how it goes. He's bound to listen to you" Kono said, her face brightening.
"I wouldn't be so sure" Danni responded ruefully as she pushed herself to her feet, locking her computer out of habit before she moved around the desk and headed out of the door, patting Kono on the arm as she passed the younger woman.
Danni glanced around the main bullpen absently, surprised to see it was empty before she stopped at Steve's door, staring it for a second before she knocked on the door and entered without waiting for him to call out. She closed the door behind her and turned to face her partner, her eyes widening when she took in his pale complexion and the look of sickness in his eyes as they came up to look at her.
"Hey" She said softly as she moved towards him, stopping on the other side of his desk. "What's wrong with you?"
"Why would anything be wrong with me?" Steve snapped back, his voice gravelly and rough in a way which made her wince in sympathy.
"Because right now you sound like death warmed up" She replied briskly, ignoring the growl he made at her. She moved towards him again, stopping beside him and reached out, placing the back of her hand against his forehead, a frown coming to her face when she felt how warm and clammy his skin felt.
"I'm fine." He said, pulling away from her, glaring down at the open file on his desk which was still on page one.
"You're not fine at all." She replied with a shake of her head at him. "You're burning up Steve, your eyes aren't focusing properly and you're snapping at everyone including me. That is not normal for you, at least not to this level" She corrected herself. "Log out of the system and get up, I'm taking you home and making sure you stay there."
"I can't just get up and leave the office Danno, we have work to do not to mention I have a call with the Governor this afternoon. All of those things require me to be in the office not at home. Now I appreciate your concern for me Partner but it's misplaced this time because as I said, I'm fine." He stated, his eyes narrowing in the stubborn expression which made her sigh, knowing that her job had become just that much harder to do.
"Steve, I want you to listen to me. You are too sick to be here right now regardless of what you believe. You aren't doing anyone any good right now, I doubt you've even started on your paperwork and have probably been staring at the same page since you've got here." She remarked, patting her hand on top of the large stack of files in his in-tray. "On top of that, you're probably infectious and therefore are risking infecting the rest of the team with what you have, which I'm sure is that last thing you want. I can take care of anything which comes up here including your call with the Governor and I can run any case which may come through. Isn't this the reason you made me your second in command, for situations like this?"
Steve stared at her for a moment before he looked away, reaching up and pinching the bridge of his nose, his eyes squeezing shut for a moment as though he was in pain.
"Danni, I…"
"Just trust me Steve okay, I'm the mother of an eight-year-old, I know when someone is genuinely sick and you are genuinely sick right now. You need medicine, liquids and bed rest, not a phone call with the Governor which I can easily take for you."
For a moment Steve remained silent, staring hard at her before he sighed, his shoulders slumping down.
"Fine, I'll go home for the time being, but I want you to promise me that you will call me if you need me for anything." He said, reaching out as though he was going to grab her wrist before he stopped himself, dropping it instead.
"Good, now log out and I'll drive you home, you shouldn't be driving in your condition." She said, clapping her hands together as she took a step away from him.
"Won't you get infected?" He asked her as he came unsteadily to his feet.
"Possibly but we'll make sure the windows in the car are wide open and you can put some adhesive gloves on while we travel, its normally through touch its transmitted." She told him, smiling when he gave her a long look. "What's with the look, I just told you that I know the symptoms due to Grace which means that I know how to deal with it as well. You're in safe hands with me" She promised him, giving him a wink before she turned and headed to the door. "Get your gloves on and I'll meet you at the elevator okay, I just need to tell the others about what is going on and then we'll get going. Have you any medicine at home?" She asked him, sighing when he shook his head at her. "Okay, we'll stop off at the local pharmacy as well, you're going to need to take something, that's for sure."
"Danni, I can take care of myself, you should stay here and…"
"Not another word Steven, if you could take care of yourself then you would have called in sick this morning, since you're here then it means that you can't." She pointed out before she smiled at him. "Head to the elevator and leave everything to me." She told him again, before she headed out of the office, quickly informing the team on what was happening before she towards her own, somehow, she had the feeling she would be needing her laptop.
