The characters of Steve McGarrett, Chin Ho Kelly, Kono Kalakaua, Adam 'Toast' Charles, Jenna Kaye, Lori Weston, Lou Grover, Meka Hanamoa, Amy Hanamoa, Malia Waincroft/Kelly, Catherine Rollins, Governor Pat Jamison, Governor Sam Denning, Charlie Fong and Max Bergman belong to the creators of Hawaii 50. I'm merely using them for my own entertainment purposes. Trust me if I had been in charge of 50 a lot of things would have been different!
The Character of Danni Williams/McGarrett is probably mine by now. Even though she was originally base on male Danny Williams I think it's probably safe to say that she's her own individual character by now, especially since I've created a background for her which is different to male Danny's background in the show.
The characters of Jack O'Connor, Riley King, David Williams, Louisa Palakiko-Cowan, Mason Lowe, Niamh Clayton, Holly Russell, Mike Landon, Karen Landon, Louise Winsor, Tyler Landon, Morgan Landon, Dean Landon, Bobby Williams, Lily Williams, Nathan Williams, Caitlin Williams/Martin, Elijah Williams, Chris Williams, Ben Williams, Rosie Lange, Richard White, Elliot Lloyd, Abbie Fitzgerald, Tabitha Jacobs, Alexis Farris, Kale Mead, Kelly Young, Tiffany Pittman, Triston Nicholson and Walker Humphries…
Well you get the picture, if you don't recognise them from the series than the likelihood is that they belong to me so please don't use them.
Author Note
This right here is the story, other than the main saga, which I've always wanted to write but never quite got round to for some reason.
As the title suggests it is a group of snippets of Steve's new life as a father. It begins from the time that Danni begins to let Steve into Grace's life, even before they are a couple, because I'm pretty positive that Steve's already decided that he wants to be a part of Danni's family. It will span until his own children are born, possibly even him being a granddad though I haven't decided that yet.
There won't be any logic behind the time shifts because I'll be writing them as I feel them. So one minutes Steve's daughter could be five months old and the next chapter she could be sixteen which is the reason the disclaimer is so long lol!
I have several ideas for at least the first ten snippets but if there is one you really want to see than you can tell me in a review or a PM and I'll see what I can do. The story will be part of the main saga (The Beginning, family, burn ect) so you can take these story as part of this world cannon which will eventually slot in with the other stories.
This first chapter is just a prologue, starting from next chapter we shall get the first full blast of Daddy Steve!
Anyway there's nothing much more to say except that I hope you like them as much as I enjoy writing them!

Prologue
Steve McGarrett hadn't ever expected to have any children, it was one of those simple facts of life to him, the same as the sky was always blue in Hawaii, he and his team kicked ass on a regularly basis and that he was head over heels in love with his partner Danielle Williams.
It had taken six months of chipping away at her impressive defensives before she had finally given in to his advances, meeting his gaze with the large grey eyes that Steve could stare into happily until the day he died without being bored and admitting that somewhere along the lines she had fallen in love with him as well.
What he hadn't quite planned for was for Danni to tell him five months after they finally tumbled into bed together that she was pregnant with his child. The news had stunned him into silence as he had stared at her, his mouth open as he stared at her stomach, looking for any sign of his child in there. There was a slight bump but that was it. Danni had still been talking softly, no doubt telling him that if he didn't want to be involved then he didn't have to be. Steve had ignored her, leaning across and kissing her, his hand coming up to grip the back of her neck while the other rested across his stomach.
One simple thought going through his head.
He was going to be a father,
Their Ohana had been ecstatic for them when they had broken the news to them, suggesting names, covering for them so they could go to appointments, offering to help them get the houses ready for the new arrival.
Danni's family from New Jersey had descended upon them, determined to meet the man who was their daughter's chosen partner and father to their unborn grandchild, He met her parents, her brothers, and her sister, sister in law, brother in law, nieces, and nephews, Aunt and Uncles and cousins until his head swam with all their names. A huge family who took one look at the way he and Danni were together and accepted him into their ranks, teasing him, talking to him, going hiking and surfing with him with him, taking him out for lunches and dinner and having a Die hard marathon with him. For the first time since he had joined the Navy he felt accepted as part of a family and it was a feeling which he liked.
It had been half way through their stay on the island that Steve's own small family came over to see him and Danni as well. Danni had the advantage having already met them and won them over but it still felt good to see his Aunt and Uncle and his cousins who felt more like his brothers and his sister than cousins, no doubt because he had lived with them from the age of fifteen.
It had made sense to take his cousin Louise; his sister Mary and Danni's older sister Caitlin with him to the best jewellery shop in Hawaii to pick out an engagement ring for Danni though he had swiftly realised the error of his ways when they began arguing over the best type of ring to get. He had ditched them, escaping from the shop and found another quiet one, looking around the displays until he had found the perfect ring, one which he knew instantly that Danni would love. He bought it, re-joining the others with a grin before they had headed back to the house.
He proposed two weeks later when it was just the two of them on their beach, the stars twinkling above them as the waves softly brushed against the shore. His heart exploding when Danni instantly said yes before throwing herself at him with a laugh of delight and kissing him.
Steve couldn't remember a time he had felt so happy.
Their families had stayed for a month in Hawaii before they left going back to their respective homes and promising to return once the baby had been born.
It was during this time that he and Danni bought a house to live in, one with a large kitchen for her, a private beach on the edge of the sea for him and enough room that Danni's eldest daughter from her first marriage Grace could have her own room and the baby could have a room to itself as well. There was even enough space for two spare rooms in case any of their friends needed a place to kip over. They sold Danni's house but kept Steve's house since the mortgage had been paid off long ago and it would be handy for people to stay in when they came to visit them from the mainland.
Time flew and the next thing Steve knew was that Danni was in labour and they were hightailing it to the hospital where Malia, Chin's new wife, had taken control of the situation. Thirteen hours after they had arrived Malia had presented them with their daughter and her congratulations.
Steve wasn't sure how long he sat on the chair next to Danni's bed, watching his daughter in awe, unable to believe that he had a hand in creating this beautiful little baby. He counted her toes, her fingers, touched her soft cheeks, talking to her softly every time her eyelids open to reveal a flash of blue. He watched as Danni fed her and waited impatiently for the day they could take her home.
Grace loved her little sister, seemingly accepting Steve as though she had been waiting for the arrival of the baby before making a decision about Steve. She had never been rude to him, she had been polite but there had been a part of her which had always held back until now, as though she had been expecting Steve to leave them. The thought had almost made him laugh when he had allowed himself to consider that possibility. There was nothing which would take Steve away from his family.
He and Danni married six weeks after their daughter was born, marrying at a small church on the island before having their reception at their new house on the beach surrounded by their friends and family. It had been perfect and exactly what they both wanted.
Having a daughter changed his world and the way he viewed things, he became careful at work, holding back on his tendency of running into the fray without backup. Now he had a wife and two daughters to think of, a family who needed him alive rather than dead.
He and Danni had spoken about having more children, Steve had been keen to have more; wanting to build a large family while Danni while being amused by his enthusiasm had simply told him that if it happened then it would happen.
And happen it did.
Steve had never expected to have this life, but now that he had it, nothing would take it away from him.
He would make sure of it.
