A/N: Hi again! Thanks for all the great reviews, and yes, I know the first chapter may have had some things that may not happen in real life, but this is only my second story so bear with me. Hope you enjoy chapter two!
Steve got up early, as usual, got Olivia dressed, and went for his swim after she was fed. When he got back both Catherine and the baby were still asleep. Steve walked into the nursery, and started to put the furniture in. He didn't have much to do since he had called the governor, and was officially on maternity leave. But he was only taking half of it.
Catherine and Olivia walked in the room just as Steve put the rocking chair in place. The rocking chair was in the corner of the room, by two windows. Between the windows was the laundry hamper, and the crib was on the other wall by the rocking chair. Next to the crib was one of the two dressers as well. The wall opposite the crib had the second dresser, and changing table. The fourth wall had a small closet with sliding doors. Over the windows the curtains were hung, and the rug was in the middle of the room. Next to the rocking chair was one of the night stands, while the other was by the closet.
"It looks like someone got a lot of work done this morning," Catherine said.
"Well, I'm not going into work for a while, so might as well make myself useful. I wanted to wait for you before decorations were picked up."
"How about I go shower, and you watch her. Then when I'm done we decorate it so everyone can see it tonight."
"Ok. And we still need a god mother."
"How about Mary?"
"I don't know. Why don't you pick it? I'll be ok with whatever decision you make."
"Maybe. I'll think about it."
Steve went downstairs with Olivia, and turned on the TV to pass time. He looked down at the tiny human in his arms, and couldn't help but smile. Steve couldn't wait till she was older, and to watch her personality come to life. Then he thought of Danny, and remembered he still had to tell all of them to come over. Steve pulled out his phone, and after the second ring Danny answered.
"You have a lot of explaining to do. I just got a call from the governor saying you're on maternity leave? Since when did you become a parent? Doesn't it take nine months for a baby to fully develop? And I would've known if Catherine was pregnant."
"Hi Danny it's, nice to talk to you to. Actually, that maternity leave thing is why I called you. I know I have a lot of explaining to do, so why don't you, Chin, and Kono come over for dinner?"
"Fine. But I'm letting you know now, I am making sure you have plenty of paper work to do when you get back."
"Just come when your done with work. Bye Danno."
"Bye."
When Catherine came down after her shower, both Steve and Olivia were asleep. She laughed then went to go get some food to eat. After another hour, they were both finally awake. Steve went upstairs to the nursery, and found it was fully decorated. However, Catherine wasn't there, instead there was a note.
Dear Steve,
Went to the store to grab some baby stuff, and food for the cook out. Be back soon. Hope you enjoyed you nap.
Love,
Catherine
P.S. I got pictures
Two hours later Steve heard Catherine's car pull up to the house. He went outside with the baby, and saw Catherine put her hands behind her back.
"Hand me Olivia, and turn around," she said.
Steve was confused, but handed her the baby, and saw a bag in her arms. He closed his eyes, and felt something being put on his chest. Then Steve felt a heavy weight pull down the contraption.
"Ok, open your eyes," Catherine said. Steve opened his eyes, and found a baby carrier on his chest. Catherine saw the confused look on his face, and couldn't help laughing.
"You know, it's funny to see a big, tough navy SEAL, be so soft and emotional."
"Very funny Catherine, now can you please get it off me?"
"No, you should get used to it so you can take her on your morning runs."
Steve gave her a desperate look, but she still smiled, and walked away. Once inside, Steve and Catherine started to make dinner. Steve marinated the steaks, while Catherine made the side dishes. Steve was finding it easier to do stuff with the baby carrier. But he still thought he looked ridiculous. Right as Steve got the steaks off the grill Danny, Chin, and Kono came into the house. All three of them looked at Steve still wearing the baby carrier, and laughed.
"You think this is funny?" Steve asked.
"Very," Danny said. Then Steve unbuckled Olivia from the carrier, and handed her to Danny. "She is cute though, I'll give you that. So why don't you explain this to us."
"Yeah boss, I think you have some explaining to do," Kono said.
"How about we sit down and eat. Then I'll explain it to you."
"Sounds good to me," Chin said. "I'm starving." Then they all sat down to eat, Danny still holding Olivia.
"So, what's her name?" Kono asked.
"Olivia Nicole McGarrett," Catherine said. "It was easy for the last name, since we all have the same one now." Then Catherine held up her hand.
"Congratulations," Chin and Kono said.
"Yeah, it's about time," Danny spoke. "So, are you going to have a ceremony, or just leave it at that?"
"Well, we were planning on having it in two months. Have a nice beach wedding up on the north shore."
"So enough of the wedding stuff, not that I'm not happy, but how'd you get the little girl?" Kono asked.
"Well," Steve said and explained the whole situation. Then they cleaned up dinner, and Steve showed them the nursery. "We still have a few things to get, but other than that it's done," Catherine said.
"It looks great. You guys did a good job," Kono said.
"Now," Danny said looking around at everyone. "I would like to know the godparents for when you decide you actually need help."
"Well, we decided on Danny for the godfather," Steve said. "And Kono for the godmother," Catherine said as the team started cheering.
"Well, I've got to say that I'm honored. But I will not be changing any diapers. My time for that is over." Danny said as everybody laughed. They all talked for a few more minutes before everyone left. Steve cleaned up dinner, and let Catherine go to bed early. Olivia was laying in some new seat Catherine had gotten for her, and was sucking on her time hands. Steve finished up the dishes, shut off all the lights, locked the door, and went upstairs to put Olivia to bed.
Steve changed her into pink and white fluffy polka dot pajamas. Then he sat in the rocking chair, and rocked them both to sleep. Later in the night Olivia began to cry, and Catherine went into the nursery. Steve was sleeping through it, so Catherine picked Olivia up to feed her. When she was done she put a blanket on Steve, and went back to bed.
The next morning Steve woke up early, and found Oliva smiling at him from her crib. He picked her up, got her dressed, then got ready for his run. Steve was putting on his shorts when Catherine's phone rang, and she lazily turned over to answer it. "Hello?" she said. "Yes Sir, I'll be there soon. Good- bye."
"Who was that?" Steve asked.
"Work. They need my help with something. I shouldn't be gone long."
"Okay. Will you be home by dinner?"
"Yeah, maybe even a little after lunch. So much for maternity leave." Catherine got out of bed, and went to go shower, while Steve put Olivia in a baby carrier. Half hour later Steve was back from his run, and Olivia was asleep. Catherine was already gone, so Steve freshened up, and went into work. When Steve got out he put Olivia in the baby carrier, and hoped no one would see him. But the odds weren't in his favor.
"Steve good morning," Duke said. "Who's this little girl?"
"This is my daughter Olivia."
"Congratulations! But I didn't know Catherine was pregnant?"
"She wasn't. However, it's a long story."
"Well, best of luck to you guys."
"Thanks Duke." Steve walked into HQ, and saw his team standing around the table. Danny looked up, and started laughing at him.
"Man, I've got to get used to this," Danny said still laughing.
"What happened to maternity leave?" Chin asked.
"Well, Catherine went to work, so I get to work."
"There's not much happening here boss, afraid you picked the wrong day to come," Kono said.
"There has got to be something to do. I can't go home, it's boring," Steve whined.
"How about you do some paperwork?" Danny suggested.
"Better than nothing," Steve said as Olivia began to cry. He handed Olivia to Danny, then said," I'll be right back I forgot her bottle in the car."
Steve walked outside, and got the bottle out of the car. When he turned around a black van drove by, and the driver rolled down the window. Before Steve could do anything, the driver fired shots towards him. Steve felt the impact, and fell to the ground gasping for air. He looked around as his vision greyed, and saw his team running over to him.
"Steve talk to me," Danny pleaded.
"Olivia needs to be fed, and call Catherine to tell her wat happened."
"The ambulance is almost here, stay with me," Danny said.
"Danny, the ambulance is here," Chin spoke as the paramedics rushed over.
All three of them watched the paramedics while Kono fed Olivia. They cut off Steve's shirt, and put a neck brace on him. Danny couldn't believe what was going on, but got ready to go with the paramedics.
"I'm going with," Danny told the cousins." Watch Olivia and call Catherine."
The paramedics lifted the backboard, and carried Steve into the ambulance. Once the doors were shut, they inserted an IV, and put an oxygen mask over his face. After a little bit Steve lost consciousness, but before Danny could try to wake him up, they arrived at the hospital.
When Danny got out he saw the rest of the team waiting by the entrance. After Steve was inside, Catherine showed up. Olivia had fallen asleep, and they were all in the waiting room.
"Any news?" She asked.
"No, they just took him up to surgery," Danny said. Chin stood up and said," Kono and I are going to try and figure out who did this. I can't sit around knowing that person is out there."
"Okay. Make sure you look at the palace cameras for a plate number," Danny said.
"Will do, brah," Kono said. With that both the cousins left. Two hours later the doctor came through the door. At the same time both cousins walked into the room. The doctor sat down in front of them, and opened his mouth to tell them the result.
And that's chapter two! Sorry it took so long to update, life got crazy. Hope you enjoyed it!
