A/N Okay, so, I got up at 5:30 am to feed my cat and literally couldn't sleep until I got this out of my system. I've wanted to write it for weeks but never actually got it done. Like I said in the summary, I avoid spoilers like the plague - please, if you know any, don't share! LoL What can I say? I like surprises. About the only thing I know is that the boys end up on horseback at some point and that's just because I went to imdb to find out when the new episodes were slated to begin.

A/N I actually considered calling this "..." because I use it three times in this ultra-short one shot. I apologize if that's annoying for anyone. :o(

Okay, enough of my babbling, already. Without further ado...

KNOWING

Danny sat down at his desk and closed his eyes, a mixture of relief and dread coursing through his veins. Steve was out of jail, Five-0 Headquarters was back up and running. All in all, a pretty productive couple of days. Now, Danny just had to take Steve aside and tell him that he was moving back to the mainland tomorrow to be with Rachel, Grace, and... wait, he hadn't told him about the new baby yet. So, a good news-bad news scenario, then. Easy, right?

"Danny," Steve's words interrupted his thoughts.

Huh. He was actually going to miss that. Who knew?

"Danny!"

Then again... "What," Danny snapped, his eyes opening and finding his partner standing in the doorway to his office with a knowing smile on his face. Danny felt his mind itch a bit at that. I mean, really, how could the man possibly wear that expression when he truly knew nothing about the detective's current situation? SEAL or not, that was more than a little bit annoying.

Steve jerked his head to the side, toward the main entrance. Danny turned his gaze in that direction... and almost fell off his chair when he saw Rachel and Grace striding through the doors. He looked back at his partner. Knowing smile. Rachel and Grace. He belatedly realized that Rachel must have called Steve and told him at least some of what had transpired before he had been arrested. Hopefully not everything, though. Because Danny wanted to be the one to spread the news about the baby.

Once the initial shock of the situation had dissipated, Danny jumped up from his chair and rushed out of the office, nearly bowling Steve over in the process, which elicited a small chuckle from his friend and partner.

Grace ran up to greet him, "DANNO!" He leaned down and swept his little girl up into his arms, hugging her fiercely. Then his gaze moved to his ex-soon-to-be-non-ex-wife. "Rachel? What's going on? What are you doing here?"

Rachel beamed at him but her eyes held a hint of sadness. "You gave up your life for us once before. It wouldn't really be right for me to let you do it again, now would it?" Without another word, she strode purposefully toward him and planted a gentle kiss on his lips.

Danny wasn't sure, he couldn't be positive, but he was fairly certain that no one and nothing would ever be able to wipe the goofy grin off his face.
