On Saturday Danny and Gabrielle picked up Grace from Rachel's. The girl run out of her house with a big bright smile and jumped in the car.

- Hi Danno, I love you. - she said kissing him on the cheek. – Hi Gabby-

- Hi Grace.-

- Can we go to Uncle Steve today, Danno? - Grace asked sitting and hooking the safety belt, while Danny started the car. – I want to restart our surfing lessons.-

Danny looked guiltily at her.

- I'm sure Uncle Steve has something else to do, you know Mary arrived this week.-

- I can teach you to surf. – Gabby said.

- No, thanks Gabby. - Grace said a little disappointed. She didn't want to hurt Gabrielle, she liked her but she liked Uncle Steve more, so she smiled to his father's girlfriend. Her father and Gabrielle started talking about their plan for the week end and she stopped listening.

During that last month she'd watched them closely. Grace didn't have anything against Gabrielle, she liked her actually. Gabby was nice and sweet and was good with her father, but there was something wrong in their relationship. Grace remembered how his father used to look at her mother when they were married, before they started fighting over every little thing. He looked at her with love shining in his eyes and he always laughed. That kind of love wasn't in her Danno's when he looked at Gabby.

Grace was young, but she wasn't stupid, she knew her mother had done a number on her Danno, she knew that it would have been hard for him to trust again, to give all his heart to someone else. She wouldn't have been so worried about that, but there was a person her father looked at with love in his eyes, there was a person who made him laugh, even when he was angry, there a person her father trusted with everything he had.

Uncle Steve.

Danny looked at Uncle Steve the same way he used to look at her mother. The first time she'd seen Uncle Steve at the football game, she had been a little worried. Danno talked a lot about his crazy partner, so she didn't know what to expect and she was a little scared. But as soon as she'd seen the way Steve acted around his father, the way he acted with her, she'd changed her mind. When she'd seen in Steve's eyes how much he wanted her to like him, because he knew how important she was for Danno, she'd loved him.

Then Danno started leaving her alone with Steve, which hadn't happened yet with Gabby, letting her go to swim with him, he'd even let Steve teach her how to surf. The more she stayed with Steve the more she loved him and soon she'd started calling him Uncle Steve. She'd seen how happy Steve was when she'd first said that, because that meant that she'd welcomed him in her family. She was started to think that soon she would call him Step Steve. But then something happened. Her mother had come home and told her they were going back to Jersey and that Danno was coming to.

- We could be a family again. - Rachel had said.

Grace's first thought had been for Uncle Steve. He would have been so sad without her and Danno to cheer him up. Besides she knew for well that her mother and her father weren't meant to be. And then Danno hadn't showed up at the airport, because he had to stay there and help Uncle Steve. She had wanted to be with Danno, because over the phone she could feel that he was sad and worried for Steve.

Then Stan had come to Jersey to bring them back to Hawaii and Grace had been the happiest person in the world. For a while everything had been normal and then, few months, ago Danno had come by and had told her that he had to go away to help Uncle Steve again. She said that no matter what may happen she had to remember that her Danno loved her. She was a little worried, but she knew that everything was going to be okay. Steve wouldn't let anything hurt her Danno, and Danno wouldn't let anything bad happen to Steve. She was right; Danno and Uncle Steve had come home.

- Danno? Have you tried to call Uncle Steve and ask him if we could go? - Grace asked out of the blue interrupting their talk.

Thinking about Steve had made her remember the last time she'd seen him. it had been at the hospital, she'd gone to visit him with her mother, but it had been almost two month since then. It was too much time and she missed Steve. She missed their surf lessons, she missed their swims, and she missed their trip to the zoo, when Uncle Steve took her in his arms to let her see everything.

She missed him so much and she couldn't believe she was always too busy to see her, she remembered that once he'd told her that he would have delayed everything to stay with her and Danno. So she was started to think that may Danny didn't want her to see Uncle Steve. He she couldn't get why.

- I'm sure he wants to stay alone with Mary, Monkey.-

Grace nodded. She would give up for now but she wanted to know what was going on.

H50-H50-H50-H50-H50

It was Friday afternoon and after the big arrest they'd done the day before, Five-0 had the day off. Steve was out on the lanai with his sister. Mary had come back home a week before and she'd said that she didn't want to come back to LA, her home was in Hawaii and she wanted to live here. She wanted to stay with him. They had fight for a while but then Steve had given up, Mary could be really stubborn when she wanted. Besides he wanted her close, he needed her close. So they were both out, enjoining the company when someone knocked at the front door. As soon as Steven opened Grace jumped in his arms.

- Hi Uncle Steve. - she said.

- Hey Gracie, what are you doing here? - he asked hugging her tight. God he'd missed her.

- I wanted to see you, Uncle Steve and Danno doesn't bring me over anymore. So I decided to come on my own.-

Steve blinked surprised. He had no idea that Grace could miss him, maybe as much as he missed her?

- Your mother or your father knows that you're here? - he asked.

- No! Danno wouldn't let me come. - she said shaking her head.

- Okay, baby. Now we have to call your mother, we don't want her to worry. - Steve said and Grace nodded.

- Rachel? - Steve said when the woman picked up her phone.

- Steve? I was calling Danny…Grace…-

- She's here, Rachel, don't worry. - he said and then gave the phone to the little girl.

- Mom? Can I stay here today, please? You can pick me up tomorrow. - Grace pleaded.

Two minutes later Steve was again on the phone with Rachel.

- Of course she can stay here, if she wants, Rachel. Mary and I will be happy to stay with her. - he said and then hung up.

- So? Can I stay? - Grace asked.

- Of course you can.-

Grace hugged him, happy.

- Can we restart our surf lessons, Uncle Steve? I took a swim suit with me and even my pajamas.

Steve laughed.

- Yeah we can restart our surf lessons. By the way, I have a surprise for you. - he said leading her to the garage, when a pink surfboard was waiting for her. He'd both her that board some days before his trip to North Korea.

- Is this for me? - Grace asked when she saw the board. – All for me?-

- Yeah, it's yours, Grace. It's a present. You're getting better you need your own surfboard. - Steve said.

- I love it! Thank you! - Grace said hugging him.

- Now we better change and then we can go in the water. - Steve said and they run together in the house.

Steve, Mary and Grace spent a good afternoon together.

That night when Steve put her to be Grace said.

- I missed you so much, Uncle Steve.-

- I missed you too, Gracie. - he answered kissing her cheek
