Steve and Maddie: The Early Years
Chapter One: First Meeting
Disclaimer: I have kidnapped Steve, and intend to never give him back. HA!
John McGarrett watched as his son followed his mother around the house, helping with the cleaning. Steven was getting more and more active everyday, and he knew he was missing it.
This week he had been even crazier at work, because he had been assigned a new partner.
Kevin Sinclair. He was a good man, and a good cop. John was happy to be working with him, and to get know each other better they had agreed to have dinner that night.
Kevin would bring his wife and daughter around to the McGarretts, in a couple of hours. John got up from his chair in the study, and went to see if he could help out with anyway.
Unless Steve had already done it all.

Just before their guests were due to arrive, John took Steve into the kitchen.
''Now I want you to play nice with Maddison, okay?'' He said.
Steve nodded, ''Who is Mad-'' He frowned when the word wouldn't come out right.
John smiled slightly, ''Maddison.'' He said, slowly.
Steve's face screwed up in concentration, ''Maddi-son,''
John chuckled, ''Close enough. She is the little girl of a friend of your old man's. So be nice.''
Steve nodded again, just as the doorbell rang.
Kevin smiled as Helen opened the door and showed him inside. In his arms was a little girl with expressive eyes, that seemed odd for a three year old.
When John approached, she smiled shyly at him, then hid in her fathers shoulder.
''Kevin, this is my wife Helen, and my son Steven.'' He and Helen shook hands.
''My wife, Katelyn, and my daughter Maddison.'' Kevin introduced.
Helen and Kate, as she preferred to be called, hit it off straight away. They went into the kitchen and started talking about different recipes.
Kevin and John went to watch the game that was just starting, leaving their children to play.
Steve looked up from the floor, to the girl in front of him.
''Wanna play a game?'' He asked, excitedly.
The little girl nodded, and smiled at him.

''What are you wearing?'' Kate laughed, as the two children ran around the kitchen.
Before she and Kevin had left home, she had dressed Maddison in a light pink dress, and she had hated it. Now, standing in front of her, was her daughter with a big smile on her face, wearing a pair of Steve's small trousers.
Helen joined in her laughter, ''I guess she doesn't like dresses,''
Kate sighed, and shooed them out.
Steve and Maddison went up to his room and played with the cars in there, until his mother called them down.
They ate their dinner as quickly as their mothers let them, then ran off to play again.
''Maddi-son!'' Steve called, from across the room.
She looked up from her spot in the corner, in which she was hidden. The dresser in Steve's room hid her from sight.
Suddenly Steve appeared in front of her, making her squeal with laughter.
He tapped her arm, ''You're it!'' He shouted, then dashed off to hide.
Maddison pouted slightly, before getting up and going to find him.

Later that evening, John and Kevin went upstairs to find the suspiciously silent toddlers.
They found them lying on Steve's bedroom floor, fast asleep.
''Tired themselves out...'' Kevin chuckled.
John clapped him on the back, ''Guess they get along, huh?''
Kevin and Kate gathered their things, and started to leave.
''Maddie?'' Steve's sleepy voice said, from the stairs.
The little girl stirred in her fathers arms, and opened her eyes.
Steve was holding her action figure, in his hands and was holding it out for her.
Kevin let her slide to the floor, and run to Steve.
''Thank you Steve!'' She said, happily.
Kate crouched down beside her and whispered in her ear. Maddison nodded, and smiled at her mother.
She stepped forward and hugged Steve briefly. Then she turned and ran back to her father.
He lifted her again, and made arrangements to go to the beach at the weekend with the McGarretts.
Little did they know quite how much damage two three year olds could do at the beach...
