Dr. Patterson was glad to see so much progress going on with her patients. She had them recall how they met, & then she asked, "What has been going on these last couple of months ?", Danni went through everything from the drones, & how Hawaii had to be on lockdown, & how they couldn't help the cizitens out during those hours. Then they went through the same procedure that bothers her, Steve goes in without thinking, & goes in half-cocked.
"I am a Seal, I am not gonna change, I will protect my ohana til the end, even if it means sacrificing me", he said, with a huff, looking at his lover, like, "Why are we going through this again ?", & she was suddenly pissed off, & blurted this out, surprising Steve & the good daughter. "You Bastard, Remember Grace, Our future together, I will be damned if you leave us, I can't take it when you do crazy shit", she continued her rant, "Remember what we just went through, Colombia, I can't take this !", she exclaimed, as she exploded.
"What happened in Colombia ?", The Doctor asked softly, as she looked at the couple. Obviously, something was bothering them, & she would like to help clear the air for them, so their lives wouldn't be ruined for this, "I lost my brother, Matty to a drug cartel, who had the bright idea to kidnap him, & they tortured & murdered him, cause they thought it would get them what they wanted, I should've shot my brother in the leg, when he visited me last, 4 1/2 years ago, & then I could keep him with me, & protect him". She continued on saying, "I got the money together, & we went to Colombia, & handed it over to Reyes, the Head of the Cartel, But I was too late, he brought Matt out in a barrel...", she couldn't finish her thought, cause she was overwhelmed with emotion.
Steve said, resuming where his lover left off, "There was a scuffle, Danni warned him that he should kill him, if he doesn't than she will, Reyes threatened us, saying if we want to stay alive, & if we want to see Grace, & have nothing happen to her, We leave & never come back, He had us escorted out, & we took care of the goons, & then Danni walked back in, & went straight to him, & have him back against a table, warning him what would happened, & she made him look at her, & she shot him point blank in between the eyes, Then she spent time with the barrel, Before we made arrangements for it, & then we rushed back home afterwards", He held Danni's hand, offering any comfort that he could.
Dr. Patterson had handed a tissue to Danni, & said softly with sadness, "I am so sorry, Danni, You have my condolences", Danni smiled, as she composed herself, & mouthed, "Thank you". The Doctor turned to Steve & said, "Expect mood swings, & don't take it personal, Be supportive, Make sure that the office caseload is easier on her, If you do that, she will be a lot happier, & just love her", Steve said with a smile, "Always", & he turned to his lover, & said promising this to her.
"I am gonna be more careful on & off the field, Babe, I am sorry I worry you, Everytime we are out of the office", Steve said, as he kissed her knuckles, & he said with conviction, "I am gonna be a lot better about it too", Danni just kiss him, & said with such love, "I love you, & I am sorry for freaking out like that", Steve smiled, & said, "It's okay, Baby, It's okay", & they turned to Dr. Patterson, They are giving her their full attention.
"Remember that you are human, Danni, You were protecting what is yours, I think you should cut yourself some slack, & grieve, That's the process that you are in, You are grieving, So take time for yourself, & make sure that you let people in, Let Steve in, He is good for this, & wants to help, okay ?", She nodded, & said, "I will, I promise", The Older Woman nodded in approval, glad that Danni is gonna take some time for herself, & just relax, cause she earned it.
"Our session is over & I will see you soon, Call me if you need me before that, I think what you guys is a relief from work for the rest of the day, & just focus on each other, Speaking of which how is it going between the two of you ?", Steve just smiled, & Danni blushed, telling her, "Things are slowly heating up between us, & the intimacy is back in full force", Dr. Patterson nodded, & said, "Good, Keep it up, I think you guys can make it, If you add honesty to the mix", They nodded, & thanked her, They left the house feeling a little bit better.
They headed into the camaro, & sat for a second before Steve started it up, He looked at his beautiful blond, & said, "You know, she is right, You did the right thing, & we are alive & safe, That is because of you, I love you", he saw the tears coming down, & kissed them away, & kissed her on the lips sweetly, "I love you too, Steve", & kissed him back, & lets her emotions out, & then falls asleep, Steve just smiled, & started up the car, & headed for their home.
They reached their home, Steve called Officer Kono Kalakaua, Lieutenant Chin-Ho Kelly, & Captain Lou Grover, & asked if they can cover for him & Danni for the rest of the day, They reassured her that they have everything under control, & they will see them, when they are able to come back into the office. He hung up, & saw that his lover is resting peacefully, & smiled to himself. He got out the car quietly without waking her up, Got her & shut her door, He entered the house, disarmed the alarm, & then brought her to the couch, where he let her rest, he quickly changed, & changed her too, Then he did a quick load of laundry, & spent the rest of the time cuddling & snuggling with her on the couch.
