Aloha! To all my Hawaii five- 0 McKono fans. Hope you enjoy this story. I personally am, even though I'm the one writing it, still it's a wonderful story to write.
Now I hope you enjoy this, as quick as the reviews come in. I will update a chapter.
A/N- I do not own the characters or Hawaii five-0 they all belong to CBS. But if I could… Rachel and Danny would be together, and Chin and Malia would still be together., and of course…McKono for sure.
Yes, yes. I know enough bantering and own with the story, hope you enjoy….
Prologue-
Steve and Kono stood there holding hands, looking at her grave. Steve looked at her as she wiped the tears from her eyes, "Why her"? she cried. And Steve wrapped her into a hug.
"I whish I knew, Kono." he said his voice trembling. There daughter was gone, and never coming back. His little Minnie SEAL, as Danny called his and Kono's daughter. No more Kono teaching their daughter to surf, or him wrestling with her in the living room floor as kono did laundry on the weekends. Or the little feet on top of his feet while they danced to their daughter's favorite song, Cinderella. There little baby girl was gone.
The ride home was quiet, all Steve could do was think about her, and the things he would never get to do. That Danny got to do with Grace. And that made him think about their last dance to Cinderella...
"Daddy" she said running into the house, as quick as her little legs could go. "I did it, I did it" she squealed, " I stood up on the surf boarder." Steve smiled at his wife as she came through the back door. He placed his gun on the table, before bending down to hug his daughter.
"You did," he said picking her up, "How was your day sunshine." he asked to his daughter." As he placed her back on the floor, before walking into the kitchen where Kono was.
" It was fun Ms .Leah said, ' I was doing better than all my other friends in class'." Steve smiled to himself as he got a beer out of the refrigerator. His and Kono's daughter may be just two. But she could talk and talk. Talk more than Danny actually, when we was on one of his rants.
"Steve, could you open this." asked Kono handing him a jar of pickles to open. Just as Steve opened the jar they heard music playing in the living room. Kono and Steve both turned to see their daughter dancing in her pink tutu. That her Uncle Danny got for her, that Danny insisted she should have little pink girly things in her life, even if her parents were insisting she didn't need them.
She spins and she sways to whatever song plays
Without a care in the world
And I'm sitting here wearing the weight of the world on my shoulders
It's been a long day and there's still work to do
She's pulling at me saying "Dad I need you!
There's a ball at the castle and I've been invited
and I need to practice my dancin
'Oh please, Daddy, please!"
There daughter turned at that moment to see both her parents smiling at her, " Daddy come on, lets dance" she said. Holding her hand out for her father to take. Kono smiled at her, then at Steve. As he walked to her. Taking her hand.
"No, no, no." she said in a stern little voice, "You doing it wrong, you gots to bow. 'Member I'm a princess." Steve smiled at her, and bowed. Then he took hold of his daughter's hand. Her little feet rested on top of his Converse desert boots. And they moved to the music.
So I will dance with Cinderella
While she is here in my arms
'Cause I know something the prince never knew
Oh I will dance with Cinderella
I don't want to miss even one song
'Cause all too soon the clock will strike midnight
And she'll be gone…
Steve was smiling to himself remembering that last moment, the last dance with his daughter. His smiled faded, when he caught Kono wiping away more loose tears away from her eyes. He pulled his Chevy truck over, and got out. "I'll be back" he said to her, and we walked away, down to the beach.
Steve stood tensed, his arms were cross. And he stared out at the ocean. Yeah, he may be a Navy SEAL, and yeah maybe you weren't suppose to cry. But he couldn't hold in, he wasn't trained to hold it when his daughter was gone. He was breaking, and he couldn't do it front of her. Not now, anyway. He had to be strong for his wife, but he couldn't.
Kono sat in the truck, she watched her husband walk away to the beach. She could read him by the way he was standing. She got out of the truck, and walked to him. She wrapped her around his and relaxed a little when he felt her presence. She looked up at him, and she could see the tears in his eyes, that he was trying to hold back.
"She's never coming back." he said in a whisper. Kono frowned, tears now slipping from her eyes. And they hugged each other, both crying for their daughter. They stood in the same exact spot where they first met, and where she joined Five-0, where he asked her to marry him. And most of all when Kino told Steve they were going to have a baby. Now they stood there crying for their little girl, they wanted her back, but it was never going to happen.
I hope you enjoyed this chapter, if you want more review, review. I love reviews! The song Cinderella is by Steven Curtis Chapman. And I love that song, and some how wanted it in this, so it was.
Until next time, Aloha, Malama Pono
