This was a bad idea

Disclaimer

The character of Steven 'Steve' McGarrett, Chin Ho Kelly, Kono Kalakaua, Catherine Rollins, Amy Hanamoa and Adam 'Toast' Charles do not belong to me in any shape or form. I am merely borrowing them for my own entertainment purposes.

The character of Danni Williams could probably be considered mine since she has changed and has her own background and everything. This also means that Grace has changed…

The characters of Jack O'Connor, Lily Nichols and Matthew Clare also belong to me so please do not use any of them without asking permission first… obviously you can use the ones who belong to the creator of 50 but you get the picture.

Author Note

This story is already completed and is about four chapter long which I'm hoping to update today, tomorrow, Saturday and Sunday.

This could be set in the proper McDanni saga but I think it's more a 'what if 'story which I may or may not come back to work on again.

Anyway I just couldn't shift this thought of Steve and Danni going on a double date together but that they were with other people…

Anyway enjoy

Please keep in mind that I don't have a Beta for this story so the odd mistake may creep in without me meaning it to. I have also never been to Hawaii so all locations are either from the show, google or made up in my own mind.


Part One


It had been Steve's idea for them to go on a double date with each other, he had come up with some idea in his head that if they got to know who each other was dating then it would somehow end up with them knowing more about each other.

Danni had stared at him from behind her desk, pen poised over the report she was correcting, and wondered where exactly Steve came up with these ideas. The thought of spending an evening with Steve and his… well Danni wasn't exactly sure what Catherine Rollins's title should be, was not her idea of a good time and she had opened her mouth to tell him so just as he hit her with that puppy dog look which she had never been able to resist or say no to.

Perhaps that had been why she had found herself saying yes to the suggestion.

A suggestion she knew was already a bad idea before it had even gotten off the ground.

Steve had seemed obsessed with finding out more about Matthew Clare, the man who Danni had started going on a few casual dates with the month before. She had had no plans to date anyone, her daughter Grace took up more than enough of her time and any time that she didn't take up was commandeered by Steve or one of her other friends and yet somehow it had happened.

A simple meal out with Kono Kalakaua, Amy Hanamoa and Lily Nichols had ended up with them wanting to pass their compliments to the chef over the beautiful meal they had just experienced. The waiter had agreed, disappeared and reappeared moments later with Matthew who Danni had to admit was gorgeous and just her type. Tall, dark haired with beautiful eyes and a cheeky grin. He had zoned in on her within moments and when he had asked her if she wanted to get coffee she had said yes, noticing the concerned look which had passed over Kono's face.

When she had tackled the younger woman over the look, Kono had sidestepped it, making some comment about Steve and how she wondered how he would deal with the news before she skilfully changed the subject in a way which told Danni that the Rookie had been paying close attention to her colleague at work.

Danni had brooded over the comment but couldn't find any basis for it. She and Steve were work partners, they weren't dating each other and it was pretty common knowledge that Steve had Catherine to satisfy his needs when she was in port. Toast had often joked that Steve had the best of both worlds, his thing with Catherine and a work wife in Danni. Danni had punched him hard in the arm for the comment and he had quickly apologised and never brought it up again though the word that she was Steve's work wife had gone through the other departments and had somehow shifted into her being Steve's wife and had just stuck.

She had constantly corrected anyone who was foolish enough to bring it up with her pointing out that Steve was seeing someone else but she had noticed that none of her other team mates, Steve included, seemed to say anything in defence of her and she found herself annoyed by it, especially when Chin Ho Kelly, Kono and Jack O'Connor gave her disappointed looks when she flirted with someone.

Perhaps that was one of the reasons she had said yes to Matthew when he asked. To remind everyone that she was not Steve's work wife or his normal wife or any other kind of romantic partner. She was a woman of thirty one who had needs which needed taking care of every once in a while.

Danni had mentioned Matthew to Steve the next day, wanting him to hear it from her that she was going on a date with someone rather than him here it from someone else.

He had stood in front of his desk, leaning against it and watched her through hooded eyes, a look on his face which she couldn't quite read. He had waited until she was finished before the questions had started.

Who was this Matthew? How old was he? What did he look like? What did he do for a living? Did she know anything about him? Would she be safe with him? Where was he taking her? When would she be going? When would she be back?

Danni has stared at him, her mouth partly open before she found herself answering as many of the questions as she could, noticing the way Steve's eyes had narrowed further and further as his shoulders tensed up when she hadn't been able to answer all the questions.

It had been worse than when she had told her Dad that she was going out on a date the first time she had.

She had expected more but Steve had merely nodded, opening his mouth to speak when the door had opened revealing Chin who had glanced between them before telling them they had a case.

The date with Matthew the following day had gone well, he was funny and charming and he seemed genuinely interested in her, even the knowledge that Danni has divorced with a small daughter who had just turned eight hadn't put him off. He had listened to everything she said to him, grinned at her observations and told her about himself. When the night ended and he had kissed her lightly on the mouth before asking if he could see her again she had barely hesitated before saying yes.

The next day everyone bar Steve had grilled her about her date, she couldn't help but nothing that each person who grilled her had gone to speak to Steve within an hour of doing so.

It had been two weeks later that Steve had made his suggestion of a double date, stating that he wanted to meet the famous Matthew for himself.

Now standing in front of her full length mirror staring at her reflection she wondered whether it was too late to ring everyone and say that she had changed her mind. It would be hard enough being on a double date with Steve without meeting Catherine face to face for the first time.

Breathing out she shook her head and left the bedroom, heading straight to the door. It was too late now for her to back out and maybe once Steve had met Matthew things would begin to calm down again.
