Disclaimer: I do not own Hawaii 5-0 or any of its characters. The character of Vicki however and some other bit players do belong to me. Please do not play with them unless you are given permission.

This is my second attempt at 5-0 fiction. My first that is not slash of Steve and Danny (because we all know that they are totally made for each other), but I digress. Anyway this is all finished (well sort of). Let me know what you think.

Oh and PS- a friend of mine requested, and I agreed to it, that if there are any scenes I glossed over and you wanted to read them I would be happy to write them and post them separately. Each dedicated to whomever requested them. This may be more appealing later in the story, but I figured I would give the offer upfront. Enjoy.

"Hi again," said Vicki who had recovered first.

"Hey," said Steve trying not reveal how surprised he really was.

"You two know each other? How do you already know Steve? How do you know Vic," ranted Danny.

"Calm down Dan. We met last night when I went out."

"Yeah. I met Vicki in the bar thats near my house. The one on the beach we sometimes go to," explained Steve who hadn't taken his eyes off Vicki.

"Oh. I guess I probably should have taken one of you up on your offers to join you last night. Anyway, Vic go put some clothes on."

Vic smiled as she skipped over to Danny and kissed his cheek before grabbing his bagel from the counter and wandering off down the hallway. Steve felt his gut twist as he watched Vicki kiss Danny.

"Hey that was mine," yelled Danny.

"Sucks for you its mine now," laughed Vicki from what Steve had to guess was the laundry room.

"Brat," replied Danny as he grabbed another bagel and cut it open and spread cream cheese on it.

"Do you want one?"

"What," asked Steve still a little confused.

"Do you want a bagel?"

"Yeah sure."

"What's up with you? You seem really out of it."

"Just a bit surprised thats all. So how do you and Vicki know each other," asked Steve as nonchalantly as he could. The wrong question or statement and it wouldn't take a great detective like Danny to figure out that Steve liked Vicki.

"Seriously? You couldn't tell?"

Danny started laughing.

"What's so funny," asked Vicki as she wondered back into the kitchen, this time her outfit complete with a red button down.

"Steve asked how we know each other," said Danny grinning.

"Oh don't make fun of him Dan. A lot of people don't realize it right away. Here Steve look again," said Vicki as she placed her chin on Danny's shoulder and they both looked at him.

Steve saw it in an instant and realized why he was sure he had seen Vicki's eyes before. Danny and Vicki had the same vibrant blue eyes.

"You're related."

"Right in one super SEAL."

"This is the brother you were talking about last night," said Steve more then asked as he pointed to Danny.

"Yes he is."

Steve tried to hide his grin as he took in how comfortably Danny and Vicki worked around each other as Danny grabbed more coffee and Vicki got out a bottle of juice. And then they both grabbed out lunches. Of course they were siblings. Their colorings might be different, but the facial features were the same. So was the body shape. Vicki didn't have a large muscled chest like her brother, but her shoulders were a bit wider then an average woman's build and her body tapered down to slim hips and a firm... Steve cut off that line of thinking. Vicki was off limits. She was Danny's sister. More specifically his younger sister, considering that Danny was the eldest child.

Danny glanced up and saw Steve smiling and then zoning out as he stared at him and Vicki. Steve then seemed to shake himself and come back to the present. Vicki had been talking and Danny tuned back into the conversation.

"Well I have to leave. I am meeting with the former owner of the practice today and the employees. We're going to sift through who wants to keep working there or who wants to leave and then depending on the numbers probably going through possible people to hire."

"So a lot of work today," stated Danny.

"Yep. Pretty much. Well it was great meeting you again Steve. I suppose I'll be seeing you around. I'll see you later Dan and we can talk about your decision," said Vicki as she grabbed all of her stuff and headed toward the door.

"Hey Vic," yelled Danny as he caught up with her.

"My answer is yes," said Danny smiling.

Vicki grinned and threw her arms around her brother.

"Yay! Thank you. Thank you. Thank you."

"I should be the one saying thank you," laughed Danny as he returned the hug.

"Nonsense. I'll see you later and we'll go over the details. Love you. Bye Steve."

With that Vicki gave Danny a quick kiss on the cheek and left. The sound of a car roaring to life and speeding away could be heard less then a minute later.

"What did you just agree to," asked Steve amused at the interaction.

"I just agreed to move in," said Danny as he came back into the kitchen.

"Are you serious? You're finally moving? Its about time. And this place looks great."

"It is. I'll finally have a real bed. And Gracie will get her own room with an en suite bathroom. Take that Step Stan. And there's an exercise room and a decent kitchen. Then there is the private beach. But the best part is that Gracie and I will be with Vic."

"Thats awesome man. What does Vicki do to afford a place like this? Its a sweet place."

"Yeah. She is a veterinarian. She co-owns two practices back home and then she just purchased another practice over here. Thats why she has to meet with the former owner and see what employees want to stay on."

"Thats incredible! How old is she? I know you're the oldest and then came Matt and you have two sisters. I actually thought that she was the youngest, she doesn't seem to be much older then Mary, but with all she has done..."

"She's the baby of the family and she's twenty- eight."

"Seriously? And she owns three vet practices? Wow," said Steve a bit dumbfounded.

"Yeah. Vic seems to excel at everything she puts her mind to. When you've grown up with her you get used to it. There was nothing she wasn't good at. Was an A student. GPA was always a four point o. She graduated with honors from undergrad and vet school. She did Girl Scouts and went all the way to get her gold award. She played softball and got mvp several times and a scout wanted to sign her to go pro, but she declined."

"Why?"

"She wanted to be a vet. So thats what she pursued."

"Wow. Makes you almost feel inadequate."

"Hardly. I am her older brother. I know all of her short comings and flaws."

"Yeah but still..."

"You like her," declared Danny as he stared at Steve.

"What," exclaimed Steve.

"You like her. You like my baby sister."

"What? Come on Danny. She's your baby sister," said Steve trying to brush off Danny's words.

"So? Just cause she's related to me doesn't mean you can't like her. Your not the first of my friends to like her. She's a great girl."

"I don't know what your talking about Danny," said Steve trying to hide the fact that his hands had tightened into fists at the mention of other guys.

"Oh please. I can read you like a book super SEAL. The way you stared at her, the pout when she kissed me on the cheek, the grin when you found out that we were siblings and not together like that. Your not subtle attempts to pump me for information on her. I am a guy Steve and her older brother. I know all about when someone is interested."

Steve refused to look at Danny.

"Alright deny it all you want super SEAL, but if you like her then thats alright with me. As long as you don't hurt her then I have no issues."

"Seriously? I would have pegged you for the protective older brother type." "I am. But there is only so far I can take it. Especially when it comes to Vic. I could tell her no and try and prevent her from having any interactions with males, but if she wants something she'll find a way to get it. There's no telling her no. Its easier to be there to protect her as she dates guys or to beat them up if they hurt her. I don't want her to hate me for holding her back or trying to tell her what to do. Plus she does a pretty good job of protecting herself."

"How so?"

"She's stronger then she looks. She works out everyday. Its her routine. Get up go running or biking then work then when she gets home she hits the machines and weights. Huh I wonder why I never realized how similar you two are."

Steve kept quiet and waited for Danny to continue talking as they walked out of the house and locked up. Danny didn't continue until they were seated in Steve's truck and on their way to work.

"You both get up at ridiculous hours to do triathlons."

Steve rolled his eyes.

"You both have boundless energy. Yesterday being a prime example. We finally close a case and work on exhausting paper work all day and you manage to have tons of energy after. Vic had a long plane trip and instead of it exhausting her she was restless and went out to go dancing. You both have a habit of running around with no shirts. Well Vic wears a sports bra, but still. Neither of you have a concept of personal space. Both of you seem to be missing your sense of self preservation. You're a crazy Navy SEAL so I guess thats your excuse, but Vic is the type to jump out of an airplane because the opportunity arose. And both of you seem to excel at everything," concluded Danny finally giving his arms a rest from their constant punctuation of his sentences.

Steve just blinked as Danny finally stopped talking. He opened his mouth to say something, but Danny started again.

"Oh and you both seem to have an aversion to authority and rules. Such as the SPEED LIMIT Steven. And you both like old cars. Except in Vic's case hers works."

"Hey the Marquis works. Its just temperamental."

Danny snorted.

"Besides how did Vic get her Mustang working? What year is it?"

"Well the outside of it is a 1964 Mustang convertible. Under the hood however is not. Vic rebuilt the engine and everything to get better gas milage."

"Seriously? She did all the work herself," asked Steve impressed yet again.

"Mostly. Our dad helped a bit, but he let her do most of it. She wanted to know more about cars and she figured the best way to learn was by reading about them and working on them."

"Alright I am officially in awe of your baby sister," stated Steve as they pulled into the parking lot of the palace.

"Thank you. So are you going to ask her out?"

Steve choked on air.

"What is it with you? You want me to date your sister?"

"I don't really care if you do or you don't. Its more the fact that I want to be prepared if you guys do date and I need to stake out where to ditch your body if you hurt her." "I am not going to date your sister. And even if I did, who says I would hurt her?"

"I didn't say you would. I said 'if' you hurt her. Big difference."

Steve shook his head.

"I am not having this conversation. Come on we have more paperwork to catch up on," said Steve as he climbed out of the truck.

"Oh fun. You going to do yours correctly this time?"

"I always do mine correctly," argued Steve.

The two men continued to bicker as they made their way to their offices. Their two colleagues simply smiled when they heard the two arguing and continued doing their own paperwork.

As promised a longer chapter. The more reviews I get the faster I post
