Disclaimer

The character of Steve McGarrett, Chin Ho Kelly, Kono Kalakaua, Adam 'Toast' Charles, Jenna Kaye, Lori Weston, Lou Grover, Meka Hanamoa, Amy Hanamoa, Malia Waincroft/Kelly, Catherine Rollins, Governor Pat Jamison, Governor Sam Denning, Charlie Fong and Max Bergman belong to the creators of Hawaii 50. I am merely using them for my own entertainment purposes. Trust me if they had been placed in my care than a great many things would have changed for the better.

The character of Danni Williams/McGarrett is probably different enough by now that I can call her my own. Even though she was originally based on male Danny Williams she's evolved and has a different background and story to him. This also in turn effects Grace who is also different, starting with the fact that her name is Grace Taylor and not Grace Williams in this since Williams is Danni's maiden name, Taylor was her married name.

The characters of Jack O'Connor, Riley King, David Williams, Louisa Palakiko-Cowan, Mason Lowe, Niamh Clayton, Holly Russell, Duncan Taylor, Michael Landon, Karen Landon, Louise Winsor, Tyler Landon, Morgan Landon, Dean Landon, Bobby Williams, Lily Williams, Nathan Williams, Caitlin Williams/Gregory, Elijah Williams, Chris Williams, Ben Williams, Rosie Lange, Richard White, Elliot Lloyd, Abbie Fitzgerald, Tabatha Jacobs, Alexis Farris, Kale Mead, Kelly Young, Tiffany Pittman, Triston Nicholson and Walker Humphries belong to me.

Pretty much if there is a character who you don't remember from the series than the likelihood is that I created them. Please do not use any character which belongs to me without permission.

Author Note

Firstly I'd like to apologise for the long wait for this story and any other story of mine which you might have been waiting for. The keyboard on my laptop broke so I had to send it off to the shop for repairing which unfortunately took two weeks, thankfully I have insurance so at least that is something. It does mean that I lost a lot of stories, or rather I can't quite figure out how to work the thumb drive they are on so I must ask you to forgive me if I take longer to get into the swing of things.

Secondly I should ask for forgiveness for the length of the disclaimer. This is due to the way this particular story will jump around the time line, it doesn't follow any pattern or story line other than showing Steve as a dad. If you are ever curious about the people who will end up in the main saga (The group of stories beginning with 'The beginning' than the above disclaimer is a good indication. As to who some of them are… well you'll have to be patient for that.

Steve will make a lot of mistakes as you can see but he'll figure them out I'm sure.

Nothing more to say other than I hope you enjoy the first part of this story.

Other note

Please be aware that I don't have a beta checking my work so I apologise for any mistakes which may slip in. It doesn't matter how many times I read it over, one always manages to! I should also add that I have no first-hand knowledge of the geography of Hawaii, Google has been answering that for me.

Question to the reader

Would anyone be interested in reading a cross over between the Danni world in 50 and the NCIS world which TealRose and I have been working on as well? Let me know, if there's enough interest we may post it up here.


Part One

Rowan


Steve McGarrett breathed out slowly looking down at his two month old daughter and wondered how on earth he had managed to part create anything so beautiful and tiny. He hadn't know how he would feel towards her when she was born, he had read about the reaction parents tended to have towards their offspring, he had seen his fiancé Danni Williams reaction to her own daughter Grace but he didn't know that he would love his daughter to the extent that it almost brought him down to his knees, tears coming to his eyes when he realised that she was his and that nothing could take her away from him.

She was asleep at the moment, long dark lashes contrasting against her pale skin, fine dark hair showing a hint of a wave covered her small head as she sucked almost absently on the pacifier which Steve had given her when he had placed her down. That had been over an hour ago and he still couldn't quite tear himself away from her, afraid that if he did then something would happen to her

The next day was Monday which meant that he would have to go back to work, he had asked Danni whether she wanted him to use his annual leave to give her extra support with their daughter but she had waved off the offer with a smile and a shake of her head, pointing out that he would need his vacation for other occasions.

"Is she still asleep?" Steve blinked, looking up when he saw Danni enter the room and move towards him, her grey gaze flickering to meet his for a moment before dropping to look at the occupant of the Moses' basket, a soft smile coming to her face.

"Yeah" Steve answered quietly, glancing down at his watch before he continued to speak. "She's been down for about an hour now, you want to wake her up?" He asked, unsurprised when Danni shook her head at him.

"Let her sleep for a bit longer, she's not due a feed for at least another hour" Danni remarked, leaning down slightly and stroking the back of her fingers against the small girl's flushed cheek before she pulled back reluctantly. Breathing out, she turned her attention to Steve, nodding her head towards the door, indicating silently for him to follow her. He hesitated for a moment, looking back at his daughter before he turned and followed Danni, pulling the door to behind them so they could still hear what went on in the room.

Danni grabbed his hand, interlocking their fingers and pulled him into the living room, pushing him down on the sofa and taking the seat next to him. She curled up beside him, her head resting on his shoulder. Steve smiled, tilting his face towards her and placing a kiss on top of her blond hair, breathing in the familiar scent of mandarins from her shampoo before he spoke.

"Tired?"

"A bit" Danni replied after a second, her grip tightening on his hand for a moment before it loosened "But that's to be expected with everything, we're lucky that Rowan likes to sleep, a lot of young babies don't" she pointed out.

"We've struck it lucky with her" Steve agreed.

"Riley called for you earlier" Danni said suddenly. "He says that you haven't been returning any of their calls, has something happened that I should know about? Have you had a falling out with the other members of the team?" She queried, sounding concerned. Steve blinked, moving slightly so he could see into her face.

"No" He denied with a shake of his head. "We're fine as far as I know, they've invited me out a few times but I've said no each time." Steve stated, looking away with a frown wondering why his best friend had felt the need to involve Danni. If he had something which he wanted to say then he should have just spoken to Steve directly and told him.

"Why have you said no?" Danni asked, sounding confused. "You love your boy nights out with the guys on the team. You used to plan them for weeks in advance. I still haven't forgotten the paintball fiasco you know" She stated, sounding amused though Steve could still detect the hint of disapproval in her voice. It would take a long time for her to forgive the damage they had caused to her furniture, some of which was still covered in bright paint.

"Because things have changed now Danni, I'm a father now, I need to be there for you and Rowan. What if something happens and you need me?" He demanded.

"Then I would pick up a phone and call you or I would call Riley if you didn't pick up because he's your temporary partner and nearly always with you." Danni answered, her mouth curling into a smile as she reached up with her free hand and cupped the back of Steve's neck, using the grip to tilt his head towards her so she could look him in the eyes. "I know that things have changed and I know that you want to be a good father to Rowan and you are. You're amazing with her and you're just as good with Grace. I know why you're worried as well and I need you to listen to me Steve when I tell you that you are not your father." She stated, her grip tightening when Steve tried to pull away. "You don't have to worry that if you go out for a night that it will seem as if you don't care about your family. I want you to have those nights out because trust me, Rowan is only going to get more demanding as she grows and you'll need that time to remember who you are. You're not just a Daddy, you're still you as well. You're still the same Steve McGarrett who I fell in love with, the hard ass man with a goofy side and the biggest, kindest heart I've ever come across. That won't change, being a Daddy will simply add to it." She told him softly.

"You haven't been on any girl nights since she was born." He pointed out, the remark causing Danni to grin at him.

"Well I'm her meal ticket at the moment, it's a bit harder for me to go out since she needs to be with me, but I have met up with the girls over lunch. I'm not saying that you need to go out with them every time they want you to but once a week or maybe once every couple of weeks wouldn't do you any harm. You won't miss much in a couple of hours." She remarked.

Steve chewed his bottom lip for a moment before he looked at her.

"Let's hope Rowan inherits your brain and common sense" He remarked dryly causing her to laugh. "Okay, you win I'll call Riley back now and see if we wants to meet up on Friday night. Maybe go and grab something to eat."

"Good" Danni said, moving to the end of the sofa and coming to her feet. "While you do that I'll go and get Rowan, I can hear her stirring" She stated, leaning down and kissing Steve on the mouth before she moved back. "Everything will be fine, you'll see."
