Steve's POV
McGarrett home.
6:30am
Beep beep beep
The annoying sound of the alarm clock echoed around the silent home. Blinding sunlight pierced through the gap in the curtains.
It took my eyes a minute to adjust to the light. I was about to get out of bed but I realised Catherine was still in my arms the way we fell asleep both of us completely naked. Her face pressed against my chest, after I turned the alarm off I wrapped my other arm around her I felt her nose scrunch up and her soft cheeks lift up too i looked at her and she was smiling in her sleep.
"Mmmm Steve" she moaned while she was still asleep. I couldn't help but smile because she will be so embarrassed when I tell her.
She started to wake up, I could feel her eyelashes when she blinked on my chest.
"Morning" I said with a smile on my face, she looked up at me her chin against my chest.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" She asked genuinely confused.
"Okay so every time we have sex yeah?" I said trying not to laugh.
"Yeah"
"In the morning you always um you t-" I said not able to finish the sentence because I was laughing that much.
"I what? Steve tell me please" Catherine said trying to sound pissed but she just ended up smiling at me.
"You always talk in your sleep" I said smiling at her.
"I don't!" She said defending her self.
"Hate to brake it to you lieutenant but you do"
"What do I say? Wait no I don't want to know" she said, wrapping her arms around me and pulling herself closer to me. She pressed her face against my bare chest, I kissed the top of her head. Cath pulled one of her arms and placing it on my upper arm, pulling her face away from me then she started tracing the outline of my tattoo.
"I need to go to the store, I will be about 10 minutes" Cath said as she got out of bed and she walked towards the drawers and she picked out some navy blue skinny jeans and a purple tank top, before she got her underwear out she turned around and smiled at me but she did it really slowly and seductivly. She slipped the clothes on and walked into the bathroom, she came out like 10 minutes later.
"I thought you were only going to be 10 minutes at the store"
I stopped and looked at the clock on my nightstand.
"And you've been in the bathroom 10 minutes" I said smiling at her then grabbing my shorts off of the floor I put them on and walked towards her, she looked really uncomfortable.
"Hey, hey is everything okay?" I asked putting my finger under her chin and gently lifting her head up so she was looking at me.
"Yeah" she cleared her throat, she sounded as if she was about to cry. "Yeah um everything's okay why?" She said her voice so quiet it was almost a whisper.
"You just seam a little down that's all, and before you went in there you were all happy and smiling at me and now you look like you could burst into tears at any second" I replied and placed a soft kiss on her cheek.
"Okay well I'm going to the store now" she said pulling out of my embrace, she walked out of the bedroom and seconds later I heard the front door shut. Just as I was about to get in the shower the door opened again.
"Steve? Catherine?" A familiar voice yelled. I quickly grabbed some sweatpants out of the drawers and slipped them on.
"Danny?" I replied walking downstairs. Danny was sat on the couch his feet up on the coffee table.
"What are you doing here?" I asked walking towards him and leaning in the armchair.
"What am I doing-" "no you should know why I'm here Steve" Danny said, he sounded really annoyed.
"No, no I don't think I do" I replied. As I sat down next to him Catherine walked through the door her cheeks were red tears filling her eyes. She turned her head to look at us but then turned around as soon as she saw us looking at her. She practically ran upstairs.
"Cath?" I shouted. She didn't answer and I heard the bathroom door slam shut.
"Yeah Steve that's kind of why I-" Danny started saying but I cut him off and walked upstairs, and knocked softly on the bathroom door.
"Cath let me in" I whispered through the door.
"No Steve" she said, her voice was muffled and I could hear her small sniffles.
"Why?" I asked trying to unlock the door.
"Because you're just going to leave me and I'm not ready for that because I love you and I don't want to see you go" she said and then I heard her crying again.
"Catherine I love you too and nothing in this world can make my feelings towards you change I promise you" I said tears filling up in my eyes. Then the sound of the lock twisting, then the door opened slowly.
"You really mean that?" She asked wiping her eyes. I wrapped my arms around her and kissed the top of her head.
"I really mean that Cath, I love you so much now tell me what's wrong" I said swooping her into my arms and walked us over to the bed and placing her down I sat next to her.
"Okay here goes. Steve I'm pregnant" she said her voice barely above a whisper.
"What? Are you sure?" I asked pulling her into a hug. She just nodded.
"I was wrong" I said, Catherine looked up at me she looked so confused.
"About what?" She asked tears filling her eyes.
"That nothing could make my feelings towards you change" I said she started trying to pull away from me but I held her close to me.
"I knew it, I'm so fucking stupid" she said practically sobbing into my chest.
"Catherine no, you are not stupid. This is the best news anybody could ever tell me, I didn't think I could love you any more than I do but I was very wrong" I said, she went silent she looked up at me tears still streaming down her cheeks.
"Don't lie to me Steve!" She snapped at me, trying to pull out of my embrace once again.
"Catherine I'm not lying" I said in a soft tone. She just smiled at me then kissed me it then turned into a little make out session but I soon pulled away.
"Cath we can't Danny is downstairs" I said she just laughed her beautiful laugh echoing through the house.
"Okay" she said smiling at me. I got off of the bed and knelt down next to her, putting my hand on her stomach you couldn't even tell she was pregnant but I placed a small kiss on her toned stomach.
"Steve you're such a softie" she whispered I smiled at her and stood up. We both walked towards the top of the stairs.
"Nobody can ever know about that" I whispered my lips millimetres away from her ear.
"About what?" she asked a smirk on her face.
"Good girl" I winked at her she just smiled even more, then both of us walked down the stairs our feet in sync. Danny looked up from the tv, he had his feet up on the coffee table and a bowl of chips on his lap spilling crumbs everywhere.
"What are you doing?" I asked pushing his feet off of the table.
"I am enjoying watching tv shows on a big tv screen for once in my life" Danny said putting his feet up on the table again, I just glared at him and sat down on the couch Cath sat next to me her smooth tanned legs sprawled over mine she was putting her hair into a messy bun.
"Hey Cath I forgot to ask are you okay?" Danny asked picking his head up from leaning it on the back of the couch and looking at Cath.
"Yeah I'm good thanks" she said smiling at me.
"Should we tell him?" I whisperd, leaning down to her ear, she was near enough laid down. She just nodded without saying a word.
"Danny we need to tell you something" I said lacing my fingers with Catherine's.
"What? oh my god you guys are getting married finally, wait until I tell Grace" Danny said a smile on his face but he quickly glanced at Caths hands that were resting on her stomach. " no that's not it" he said. I just smiled at him he looked back at the tv.
"Danny, are you ready to be an uncle?" I asked him, his head turned to look at me. His eyes wide.
"Are you saying what I think you're saying?" He asked looking at Catherine then at me then back at Catherine.
"Danny I'm pregnant" Cath said a teary smile on her face, I turned to look at Cath she just smiled at me I placed a small kiss on her lips. Danny was still in shock.
"Danny" I said clicking my fingers in front of his face.
"Hmm? yeah?" he said turning to look at us both.
"You kinda' froze" I said he just laughed.
"Oh, I'm so happy for you both" he said a huge smile on his face. It faded really quickly though when he looked at Catherine, I looked at her she had tears streaming down her cheeks.
"Cath? what's up?" I asked pulling her onto my lap properly, tears still rolling down her cheeks.
"No Steve I'm scared" she said burying her face in my chest. I wrapped my arms around her small body.
"Catherine you don't need to be scared, I'm here and I'm not going anywhere you should be happy Cath this is great news" I said then my eyes caught Danny's and he was sat there smirking at me like a child. I lifted one hand off of Caths back and held my middle finger up at him.
"Yeah but Steve, what about the navy? what if I can't go back to work? what if I'm deployed and you have to be deployed as well what are we going to do with the baby? what if I'm not good enough at being a mom? and don't pregnant people have to go on maternity leave for like a year? I'm not ready for all of this Steve" she said an started to cry again and put her head against my chest.
"Catherine I promise you, you will be the best mommy in the world this kid is the luckiest kid in the world it has a mom and a dad who can kick ass, and yeah you have to take a little while off of work but that's okay because you get to spend that time with your baby and watch him or her grow up and I promise you it's only scary at first" Danny said and Cath lifted her head from my chest and looked at Danny she had a small smile on her face.
"Are you sure?" she asked him he just nodded.
"Take it from the expert Cath" I said and she just turned around and crashed her lips against mine.
"Wait until I tell Gracie she will be over the moon" Danny said then Catherine smiled again, she looked at my shirt.
"Sorry I got a little makeup on your shirt" she said poking where the marks were.
"That has to be the first time I've ever seen you cry Cath" Danny said and she just laid her head on my shoulder and wrapped her arms loosely around my neck.
"And you Steve you really are a big softie" Danny said a huge smile on his face.
"What can I say, it's all Catherine's fault" I said in a playful tone, she started placing small kisses on my neck.
"Your welcome" she said I could feel her smiling against my neck, her warm breath tickling my skin.
"Anyway I better be going" Danny said standing up from the couch and taking his empty glass into the kitchen.
"Hey is is okay if I tell Grace about baby super SEAL?" Danny asked as he walked back into the room.
"Yeah of corse it it besides I will probably just cry again if I told her" Catherine said trying to make it into a joke.
"Just remember what I said to you" Danny said in a soft tone, Catherine stood up from my lap and gave him a hug.
"Thank you Danny you're a great friend" She said and Danny smiled at her pulling her into another hug.
"Cya man" I said as he walked out of the door, he shut it behind him and me and Catherine sat down on the couch.
"Do you really mean everything you said?" she asked me, I wrapped my arm around her shoulder and kissed the side of her head.
"I do" I whispered.
