Chapter 8

"c'mon Grace, time to get up lazy bones!" Rachel joked as she entered Grace's room bright and early the next morning and opened Grace's curtains leaving in the streaming Hawaiian sunshine, it was another lovely hot day in paradise and Rachel felt great! Grace didn't even stir in the bed, Rachel smiled at her sleeping daughter, visiting Danny yesterday must have taken the last ounce of energy she had as Grace showed no signs of waking.

"C'mon Grace I need to take Charles to daycare, I don't want to be late!" Rachel said rubbing Grace's back as Grace was turned on her side facing away from Rachel. Grace groaned sleepily and Rachel got Grace's clothes for the day and laid them neatly on Grace's bed.

"Can I just stay here? I'll be good, I won't go near anything dangerous I promise!" Grace said her eyes still closed, her voice muffed as her ead was buried in her pink fluffy cushion.

"No Grace you know you are not allowed to stay by yourself!" Rachel said

"Mommy! I'm 10 years old I'm able to look after myself!" Grace said in a whiny voice

"Grace Williams I am going to count to 10 and if your not up and getting chan-" Rachel said her arms folded firmly across her body with authority.

Grace sighed and gave in, there was no winning when it comes to her mother so she reluctantly rolled out of bed and grabbed her clothes to go change. Suddenly she grabbed her abdomen as a piercing pain ripped through her. Her nose scrunched up in pain and Rachel was quick to react.

"Grace? You alright?" Rachel asked leaning over her daughter

"I think I've got a tummy bug" Grace said as she kept holding her stomach

"Where does it hurt Grace?" Rachel asked

"Here.." Grace said as she guided Rachel to the exact location where the pain was, the left side of her abdomen and the pain was now extending to the same side in her back "...It really hurts!" Grace said as a tear ran down her face

"Okay.." Rachel sighed as she grabbed the phone "I'm going to ring Daycare and tell them Charles isn't going to be in today and then we are bringing you to a doctor!" Rachel said

"NO! Mommy no doctor..It's just a tummy bug I swear...my friend Katie wasn't in school all this week because she had the stomach bug..All i need to do is rest, I don't need a doctor!" Grace protested, she had seen enough doctors over the past few weeks, she associated doctors with needles and she HATED needles! After another few minutes arguing Rachel eventually gave in.

"Okay, fine you stay in bed and I'll bring you a glass of water okay?" Rachel said helping Grace back into bed and tucking her in

A few minutes later Rachel came in with a child friendly painkiller, a hot water bottle, a huge glass of water and a thermometer. After taking her temperature Rachel was relieved she had no temperature and after giving her the painkiller and tucking her in with her hot water bottle she left the room warning Grace to call her if she needed her. Grace soon ignored the throbbing pain and fell asleep.


It was a 5 weeks since Danny was released from hospital, he was still recovering the doctor had warned for him to stay at home not even to think about about going back to work, he would sometimes experience extreme tiredness and severe headaches so Danny knew he wasn't going back to work anytime soon, especially with Steve only being released from hospital only two weeks ago since he had the automatic defibrillator inserted to automatically shock his heart back into action. Thankfully Chin and Kono were working with HPD on any relevant cases so Steve and Danny didn't feel under any pressure to come back to work anyway, they could just concentrate on one thing, getting better. It gave Danny and Steve a bit of peace of mind.

Danny had to admit though he was bored, all he did all day everyday was sit down and watch TV. He hated life at the moment, so he decided that today was going to be a little different. He grabbed his car keys and decided to go for lunch at Kamekona's because he never trusted his cooking. He hopped into his car and started driving towards Waikiki beach.

He eventually got there and went straight up to Kamekona's truck to order. Kamekona smiled as he saw him approach, Danny gave him a sarcastic wave.

"Wazzup Jersey?" Kamekona said from inside his shrimp truck

"Kamekona! Nice to see you too, long time no see and all that..." Danny said as he ordered Shrimp fried rice.

"So, you all better after your run in with a gun?" Kamekona asked trying to make conversation

"Still painful but i'm getting there .." Danny said

"That's one hell of a scar y'got there.." Kamekona said as he tilted his head to get a look at it as it was towards the back of Danny's head

"Yeah, thanks for noticing!" Danny said sarcastically realising he should have worn a hat.

After lunch Danny didn't feel like going home just yet, he was sick of being at home so he decided to stop off at Steve's on the way. He pulled into Steve's driveway and neared the door. Without even knocking he just entered scanning the rooms for the stubborn SEAL.

"You could knock!" Steve said coming out of the kitchen only dressed in his jocks, his hair messy looked like he just got out of bed. Right at the center of his chest was the scar from the recent operation.

"Here I am taking time out of my day visiting you and you complain when I don't knock..nice to see you Danny..I'll get you a cup of coffee Danny, Nooo! The first thing you say to me is why didn't you knock..very nice!" Danny said making his way to the kitchen to make his own fresh cup of coffee.

The first thing Danny noticed is Steve's scar situated in the centre of his chest.
The stitches were out but the scar was still clearly visible, Danny noticed how tired and drained Steve looked and probably felt. He exited the kitchen with the cup of coffee in his hand and took a seat directly opposite Steve who was slumped rather awkwardly on the 3 seater sofa.

"You okay?" Danny asked as Steve eyes began to droop

"I'm fine Danny, I need to go back to work! I'm so bored at home!" Steve complained his hand resting on his chest

"You in any pain?" Danny asked reading Steve's body language

"no...i'm fine..what about you?" Steve asked obviously trying to change the subject

"I'm fine Steve...let me get you a pain killer.." Danny hopped up and strolled into the kitchen and rustled around the presses finding Steve's medication. Steve was hot on his heels insisting that he just took his pain medication before Danny came but Danny insisted and kept searching. Stuffed in the back of one of Steve's cupboards was the pain medication, the label clearly read "One to be taken three times daily.." They weren't opened, Steve wasn't taking them he must have been in a lot of pain.

Danny held them up in front of Steve demanding an answer "Why aren't you taking them Steve?"

"I never took medication once in my life I don't want to start now Danny! I did 3 tours in Kabul and I survived I'm sure I can get through a little.." Steve shrugged his chest aching "Pain.."

"Steve c'mon don't be so stupid you need these! You are only human, and don't say your not in any pain because clearly you are!" Danny said in annoyance

Steve grabbed the medication unexpectedly out of Danny's hand "Fine" He said as he promised he would take one. Danny smiled at his accomplishment.


Rachel was doing the washing up, Charles was in his walker wondering around the TV while Grace was still sleeping up in her room. Poor Grace, she thought and thought it was odd as Grace never got ill before and this cam eon so suddenly. This thought drew her towards Grace's room to go check on her making sure Charles was okay first.

She went into Grace's room, only to find her in her en-suite and she seemed to be vomiting her brains out, tears were streaming down her face as she brought up yesterdays breakfast, lunch and dinner all at once. Rachel was by her side in no time holding her hair and rubbing circles in her back clearly worried for her young daughter. Grace suddenly screamed out in pain as she realised her mother was behind her.

"MOMMY MY TUMMY HURTS REALLY BAD!" Grace screamed at the top of her lungs before her head was once again down the toilet bowl as she continued to vomit. Grace was getting worse and Rachel knew she had to call a doctor.

Rachel tried to calm Grace, but she was screaming in pain and fear as cramps ripped through her abdomen and back. She couldn't stop vomiting and her body was slightly shaking. Without hesitation Rachel ran downstairs and grabbed her mobile phone, she ran 911 and gave the responder the details of Grace's condition and her address. Rachel was going upstairs when she heard a bang. She ran into Grace's room a her stomach dropped. In the en-suite next to the toilet bowl was Grace collapsed in a heap. Rachel feared the worse as she ran over to Grace and shouted down the phone to the emergency responder that Grace was now unconscious and to send someone straight away and quick!

Rachel felt really scared as the person on the other end of the line asked her if she was breathing or does she have a pulse thankfully Rachel checked and it was a yes to all of them. They said to put her on her side to make sure she doesn't choke on her own vomit and just to stay with her and talk to her so Rachel did exactly that as a tear escaped her eye.

"Grace? Grace can you hear me? It's mommy Grace please wake up!" Rachel begged but with no response

Then the ambulance sounded outside and Rachel rushed outside to greet them, they brought a gurney and the huge treatment bags in with them and rushed straight up to Grace's room.

"Grace?" Paramedic number one said "Grace, can you open your eyes for me?" He got no response

Paramedic number two applied a blood pressure cuff "She's got high BP, pulse fast and uneven.." He shouted out

They didn't know what was wrong with her, they shone a torch into Grace's eyes and pinched her a couple of times
"Reacting to pain and light stimuli.." Rachel knew this was a good thing

"Has she drank or eaten anything?" The paramedic asked as he prepared Grace for transport

Rachel just stared at Grace, but eventually nodded looking at the full glass of water Rachel had brought up for her earlier that morning "No not since yesterday.." Rachel said in shock

"Is she allergic to anything m'am?" The other paramedic asked, "No" Rachel answered "Not that I know of.."

"We need to get going!" They both agreed as Grace was loaded onto a gurney and given life-saving oxygen. Rachel feared for Grace's life as she saw the tubing and defibrillator just in case Grace would take a turn for the worse.

Everything was a blur as she got Charles out of the walker, and followed the male and female paramedic out the door and into the ambulance.

Rachel looked out as the door slammed shut, she had to ring Danny she thought as the ambulance took off sirens blaring.
