I know, I know is been a while, but to be fair, I published the last chapter without thinking on making a second one. I'm not the kind of person that leaves things started, and I had already started this one, I had the idea, but life happened and for one thing or another I couldn't write more about it. I know is a short chapter, but I just hope you guys enjoy it. Remember english isn't my first language so any constructive criticism is appreciated. See you at the end of the chapter.

Disclaimer: well I think you can guess i dont own H50 or any of the characters

- Are you sure about this? –Catherine couldn't help to ask nervously.

- I have never been so sure about something in my entire life – Steve took her hand and kissed it.

The team was about to land at San Francisco international airport after a long flight back home.

- The thing is Steve, after leaving you, after you told me that you couldn't wait for me – She closed her eyes for a second – I have no right to come to Oahu and tear apart the life that you have built.

- I know why you are saying this, and the only one that has to worry about this is me. – He smiled at her and turned his head towards the window, watching how the lights of the city started show another beautiful face of San Francisco.

- Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to San Francisco International Airport. – The voice of the flight attendant announcing this arrival to America – local time is 19:35. Please remain seated with your seat belt fastened until the plane have completely stop. On behalf of the airline and the entire crew, I'd like to thank you for your preference. Have a nice stay.

- So are you telling me that "Saving Mama McGarret" op turned into a romantic get away with Catherine? – Detective Danny Williams asked his partner who was sitting in front of him at the table in the hotel bar, he was also coming home after being at New Jersey visiting his family.

- It wasn't a romantic getaway Danno. Things just happened that way.

- What about Lynn? Because if you needed a reminder, you have a girlfriend waiting for you at home. You were on a date with her before all this happened. -

Steve took a long sip of his beer, and looked at Danny to the eyes. He knew it, but the fact that Catherine was leaving everything to come back home was an opportunity he was going to take. For once in his life he didn't feel bad to be a little selfish and thinking on himself first.

-I know that Danno, thanks for the reminder

- Look, babe. I'm happy for you, for both of you, I really am. I just want you to look at the big picture. But hey, you are a big boy and already made a decision and I support it and I'm with you one hundred percent. – He took a deep breath – just don't hurt her, Lynn is a great woman.

- I know, I know. I just need to figure out what I'm going to tell her and how I'm going to tell her. – If he didn't figure this out soon, the guilt was going to eat him alive.

- The truth Steven, just the truth.

- Hey how things are back in New Jersey? – asked Steve changing the subject of conversation, he didn't need to think about this for the rest of the night.

- Things are good, family is good. My mom says hi to her favorite annoying superman.

- Hey boys – Catherine approach to them coming from the lobby – I thought everyone was already here.

- Oh no, sorry. Steve and I came early to talk, a lot of things to talk. – Said with a note of typical sarcastic – I don't see any waiter over here, I'm going for another beer.

- Let me go, do you want something Cath?

- A beer is fine – Steve leaned and landed a soft kiss on her lips.

- Be right back

The silence between the two of them turned awkward. It was obvious Danny wasn't completely happy about Catherine.

- Danny, listen, I ….

- I'm gonna stop you right there Catherine – he interrupted her and then, with a lower voice continued. – Of course we are going to talk, but not right here, not in front of him

- I understand – nodded Catherine. She knew why the harsh attitude form Danny and understand it. She knew how bad she had hurt Steve.

At the bar waiting for their beers was Steve, looking at the table were his friends were. Even from far away he could notice that the things between them weren't in great terms. His phone started to ring pulling him from his own thoughts, Lynn's photo showed on the screen. Steve sighed as he answered the call.

-McGarrett

- Hey you, how things are going? Are you coming home soon? – Steve couldn't help feeling guilty while hearing Lynn's voice.

- Perfect, we just landed in San Francisco, taking a flight to Oahu tomorrow morning

-We? Is your mom coming with you?

-No, no. Doris is fine but she isn't coming – for a split of a moment she thought on giving her a heads up – Is just that... Danny couldn't get his mouth shut and he alerted the team, so Kono, Chin and Lou met with me over there a helped me.

-Oh Ok, so I see you tomorrow?

-Yeah, I ... I'll call you a soon as I can – tried to control the nervousness on his voice. He needed to talk with her soon.

-I'll be waiting your call. Have a safe flight and say hi to everyone for me.

-Will do. Bye.

It didn't matter how happy he was for getting back Catherine, the guilty he was feeling for what he was going to do to Lynn was there and it wasn't going away soon. She was a beautiful and amazing person who didn't deserved it. She show him how to move on, how to be happy when he thought would never have happiness with someone else. And he was just going to hurt her. She just didn't deserved it, she didn't deserved him.

-Hey Bro, are you ok? - With a touch in the back, Chin let him know he was there along with Lou

-Yeah, I was just talking with Lynn

-Oh that explain the ugly face, wait, it's just your normal face - Lou said trying to lightening the mood.

-This face? At least is better than your ass – he answered back, and wiped his thoughts about Lynn from his head at least for now, if he wanted to enjoy the free night with his Ohana.

-Let me tell you something about this ass...

-Ladies, ladies, I don't know about you but I'm hungry –Chin intervened before the conversation continued, not that he didn't enjoy how this two exchange words.

-Yeah I'm hungry too, I don't want to hear about your ass Lou. - They started walking to the table where Danny, Catherine and now Kono were waiting for them.

- What took you so long? Were you bottling the beer? - Danny got up to greet Lou and Chin – Good to see you two. I hear you saved Steven's ass, once again. I don't know what he would do without us.

-Don't even get me started – everyone seated at the table and enjoyed one of their typical dysfunctional but happy dinners. Just like in old times, Catherine included.

The knock at the door woke him up, the clock on the night table say it was only 3:30 am. With a grunt, he seated for a second on the edge of the bed. A second knock at the door, a little louder this time.

-I'm coming. I'm coming. Steve it better not be you because I swear to god...-He opened the door, seeing someone he didn't expect to see. - Catherine, what... what are you doing here? Do you know is three, almost four am and we have to catch an early flight.

- I know Danny, but I really needed to talk with you. - He sighed and walked inside the room.

- Come in

- I'm sorry I woke you. But I need to clear the things between us. And I know once we get to the airport it's going to be nearly impossible for us to have a real talk.

He stood there watching her while she was walking back and forth nervously. He also wanted to talk with her, but why she couldn't wait until the morning or the next day, but she do had a point on that. Once they landed on Hawaii things were going to be a little difficult. With a move of his head, he invited the woman to sit.

-So ... - Started the detective, giving her the cue to start talking.

- Look Danny, I know I screwed things up. I truly believed that going away and work with the CIA was the best for me at the moment. Now I know it wasn't my brighter idea.

Danny took a deep breath, and tried, not very well, not to be mad at her. After their little talk months ago about she staying for good and Danny convincing Steve that getting a ring and proposing to Catherine was a good idea, he couldn't trust her right now, he cared for Steve like a brother, and after seeing him suffer after she left, it was kind of hard to try to trust her again.

-Of course it wasn't smart – Danny mumbled – look I'm more than happy to see him happy, I'm not the one who should forgive you it's him, and apparently he already did. I just don't want to see him go through hell for you one more time.

-I don't intent to put him on that position. But I do care for your forgiveness, you were my friend too. – a little tear was forming in her eye, she didn't wanted to cry but after seeing how things were right now, and how much pain she caused to people so cared about, it was just so hard for her. – I can only imagine how much I hurt him

-Yes, you can only imagine. I was here for him, but you know him, he isn't the type to share his feelings. - The tears started to flow from her eyes. She was just too emotional right now, having a second chance with Steve was something she never imagined. - Look, maybe in the future, things can go back as like they were before you left. But you can't blame if a put him before you. So you have to promise that this time you'll stay for good. And has to be a promise you won't break.

"Stay for good" those words scared her more than she thought, being in only one place for too long or forever wasn't something she used to do, that why she joined the US navy. That's why she left when she started feeling trapped with her life in Hawaii.

-I'll do better, I love Steve and I'm not planning on hurting him again. – She give a reassuring smile to Danny, she really meant it and was going to find a way to make things work. She just wasn't going to let Steve go from her life again.

-I'm happy to hear that, now, I should get in the shower, maybe it's time to get ready for the airport

-Yeah, sorry about that. I didn't mean to, but I needed to clear the things between us Danny. – She smiled softly, she looked at him and told him honestly – and as a friend, I promise to get your trust back.

-Just don't hurt Steve again and we will be fine – told her while he was leading her to the door

-I should get back and wake up Steve, he was so tired I'm afraid he won't wake up – she waved goodbye and walked towards her hotel room with less things to worry about.

-Steve, wake up – she was placing soft kisses on Steve's face and neck as an attempt to wake him up – it's time to get ready. We need to get to the airport in less than an hour.

- We have to? – He answered with a husky voice while he pulled her to the bed. Catherine leaned her head against his naked chest.

- As much as I would love to stay in this bed with you for days, we have a flight to catch. – She tried to escape from his embrace and failing at it. He just didn't want to let her go. Not now, no never. But they had to go. He placed a soft kiss on her head.

- We have all of our lives to be like this, you know? – He caressed her back, she tilted her head and looked him in the eyes seeing only hope and love in his eyes.

- I know – Placed a soft kiss on his lips and smiled sweetly at him. She then buried her head in his chest and took a deep breath and sighed. – Time to go.
