Steve was surprised that Danny didn't take any days off when his sister and nephew arrived in Hawaii and apart from a few phone calls in the day they didn't seem to interact that much. After a week Steve finally pressed Danny as to why this was, his little sister had flown all the way to Hawaii to visit him and he had barely even seen her. Danny had at first replied that the two of them would kill each other if they spent every second of the day together as they always seemed to rub each other up the wrong way, until he eventually admitted that his sister and nephew had been spending the last few days at the beach – it was a well known fact that Danny hated the beach. Steve had let it go, although he was rather disappointed as he had liked Emma and had wanted to get to know her a bit better. She was beautiful, kind and funny not to mention she seemed to enjoy winding up Danny as much as he did. So Steve couldn't believe his luck when Emma and Harry walked into the Five-0 office. Putting down his files, Steve exited his office to go and greet Emma and Harry

"Hey Emma, Oz… what are you two doing here? Not that I'm not happy to see you both but Danny didn't mention that you were dropping by." Steve began.

"Hey Steve, sorry to drop in unannounced Harry's been wanting to see Uncle Danny all day so I told him that if he took his nap and ate all of his lunch then we would go and see his uncle." Emma explained before turning to Harry. "Sweetpea, where are your manners? You remember Steve, he's a friend of Uncle Danny's and picked us up from the airport."

The four year old waved his free hand at Steve before tugging at the hand that was holding his mother's hand. "Danno, momma. Where's Danno?"

"I'm sorry about him, it's just he didn't care about coming to Hawaii in the slightest he was more concerned with seeing Danny. Since we live in New York and Danny's here, we don't get to see each other quite often and Harry just loves his Danno." Emma explained as her and Steve watched Harry's eyes dart around the room looking for Danny.

"It's no problem at all, you are here to visit him of course and it's not your fault that he's not here at the moment but your more than welcome to wait." Steve said motioning for them to go into his office and when they did Steve sat down behind his desk whilst Emma sat in the char opposite him with Harry on her lap who was playing a game on her phone. "I'm actually glad to see you Emma as I wanted to apologize about the day at the airport I didn't mean to upset you by bringing up your husband…"

"Steve you really don't have apologize, we had only just met each other and you couldn't have possible known that my husband was dead. Danny had barely mentioned that I existed so I don't blame you for anything. Besides it's been two years since George passed away and I can't be sad forever Steve, I've got a child to raise and it's not exactly easy to be sad with an active four year old…" Emma said with a small laugh and Steve had to admit that he was very relieved that he hadn't offended or upset Emma by bringing up George. "Being a single parent wasn't exactly a choice but Harry and I are getting on with our lives as best we can."

"It must be hard." Steve noted, thinking about how his dad had raised him and Mary for a while after their mother had died.

"It is. I prosecute criminals for a living and you'd think that was a hard job given the things that we've seen in what we do. But being a parent, to me is the hardest job in the world even harder than prosecuting criminals… I'm constantly terrified that I'm going to mess up somehow and my worst fear is that Harry will end up like one of the criminals I prosecute. It's hard being a parent but to be both mom and dad is another thing entirely. I'm trying my best but sometimes I don't think it's good enough, right now Harry's fine with just having me but then I think ten years into the future when Harry's a teenager. Boys need their father's but he'll just have me…" Emma noted and Steve could see that Danny was right about how much of a good mother that Emma was. Everything she seemed to do was in for Harry and she only wanted the best for him. It was hard for Steve to see how Emma didn't think she was enough for her son.

"I may not be a parent but I have a real respect for single parents. My mom died when I was a teenager and my dad raised my sister and I by himself before he sent us back to the mainland. As long as you do your best all that will matter to Harry is that you love him and your there from him…" Steve said in a reassuring manner.

"People say this all the time but it's true, everything you know changes when you become a parent. Your perspective changes as when your kid and especially as a teenager you think your parents are trying to ruin your life. Before I became a mom I underestimated my parents and now that I have to play both their roles I've got new found respect for my parents and I see things from their point. When Harry was born they shared my joy and when George died they shared my grief. I couldn't have asked for a better parents; they may occasionally drive me crazy but we love each other and we're always there for each other." Emma replied as she kissed the top of Harry's head.

"Danny hasn't spoke about them much but they must be good people if they raised the two of you." Steve said as he mind wondered off to imaging Mr. and Mrs. Williams, he had met two of their children who were vastly different and to imagine the people who raised them was actually quite hard.

"Yeah they are but they did bring four eccentric children into the world so they may be a little different. Then again I may be bias as they are my parents…" Emma began and Steve laughed. "But seriously they are great; I take Harry down to see them twice a month and he loves spending time with them, especially when my dad takes him down to the firehouse."

"Future firefighter?" Steve questioned.

"Maybe, let's see." Emma began before turning to Harry. "Hey buddy, can you tell mom what you want to be when you're older?"

"Cop!" Harry squeaked much to the amusement of the two adults.

"You going to work in Five-0 like your uncle?" Steve asked and Harry enthusiastically nodded. "I guess we have an answer for now."

"Until we go back to New York and he decides he wants to be just like his mom when he's in older." Emma said before she was interrupted by the dulcet tone of her brother's voice booming across the room and so the three of them got up and made their way out of Steve's office.

"Danno!" Harry cried letting go of Emma's hand and running over to Danny who picked him.

"Hey Oz man! What are you doing here?" Danny asked the moment that he saw his sister.

"Your nephew was tiring of your daily phone calls, he wanted to see you in person after all that is the reason we came to Hawaii Daniel." Emma quipped before turning to Steve and giving him a knowing look and the Steve couldn't help but grin.

"Oh right… Chin- Ho Kelly, Kono Kalakaua I'd like you to meet Emma and Oz-I mean Harry Williams, my sister and nephew." Danny said ignoring his sister's statement and turning his attention to Chin Ho and Kono who had came in with him and had yet to meet Emma.

"It's a pleasure to meet you." Chin Ho said as he and Kono shook hands with Emma.

"Same, Danny's told me a lot about the two of you." Emma replied.

"Emma what the hell is Oz wearing?" Danny demanded as he held his nephew out to reveal the tropical shirt that the boy was wearing before resting harry back on his hip. "Seriously Emma? You put him in one of these hideous things."

"Just because you don't like it doesn't mean everyone else agrees with you and besides Harry wanted it. So I brought it for him and he looks adorable in it so the shirt stays!" Emma retorted sticking her tongue out at Danny, an action that Harry soon followed suit in which caused Kono, Chin Ho and Steve all to laugh.

"She is right Danny–" Steve began.

"Harry does look adorable." Kono finished.

Danny rolled his eyes, sometimes he wondered how on earth he still had his sanity when he was surrounded by people whose sanity was questionable. "Of course he does! He's four years old but trust me in a few years he'll grow out of it and I guarantee that if you show Oz a photo of him in this when he's sixteen he will ask you if you were out of your mind when you dressed him in this."

"To which I'll reply that I brought him to Hawaii so the picture stays and I'll have you know that my son will always be adorable! Unlike his dear old Uncle Daniel who grew out of it at age five." Emma retorted.

"You must think your funny!" Danny asked.

Emma rolled her eyes in a similar manner to Danny, which wasn't lost on the rest of the group who watched the two siblings interact. It was weird for Steve to watch Danny so much with someone who wasn't him. But then it just added to his theory that Danny was a confrontational person who liked to argue. "Yes but mostly I think I'm right."

"Yet again with the shoes… what is with you and wearing converses you're not fifteen anymore." Danny questioned pointing to the shoes that Emma were wearing and Steve couldn't help but frown. He had heard Emma and Danny argue about plenty of things but shoes were anew one.

"Hey these are comfortable and practical plus these are classics and they will never go out of fashion but if we're on the topic of clothing. Why are you still wearing a tie? We're in Hawaii!" Emma quipped. "I've been here for five days and I'm pretty sure you are the only person I've seen wearing one!"

"Stop going on about the tie!"

"Then stop going on about my shoes!"

"Fine!"

"Fine!" Emma retorted and the two of them both stopped as they had forgotten whose turn it was to insult the other and they each took a deep breath. "But back to my original point, your nephew would like to see more of you before we return back to New York. My vacation time will be pretty much gone so It'll be a while before we would visit again."

"How about you come over to my place tonight and I'll cook you dinner?" Danny offered and Steve had to bite his tongue to avoid laughing out loud. The idea of Danny cooking was a joke not to mention the three of them being in his tiny apartment was another.

"Can't do tonight, we're going to meet Rachel and Grace in a bit and hang out before going to dinner" Emma said sticking out her tongue at Danny.

"Your going out to dinner with my ex-wife? Where is your sense of family loyalty Em!" Danny demanded.

"Just because the two of you got divorced doesn't mean we stopped being friends and it'll be good for Harry and Grace to see each other whilst we're here. So there's not any family loyalty problems here as Grace is family which makes Rachel family by extension." Emma quipped and Danny just glared at her.

"How about we all get together at my place this weekend and have a barbeque?" Steve offered. "That way you can all spend time together and we can get to know Emma and Oz without worrying about you giving them food poisoning Danny…"

"Thanks Steven." Danny replied gritting his teeth.

"No problem Daniel, you have Grace this weekend right?" Steve questioned ignoring Danny in favor of his sister. He found himself liking Emma more every time that he spoke to her and the fact that she liked winding Danny up as mush as he did mad him like her more. "What do you think Emma? You and Harry up for that? Between Kono, Chin-Ho and myself we can show how we do things here in Hawaii?"

Emma smiled at Steve and moments later they both turned to Danny wearing smirks that reminded Danny disturbingly of the Cheshire cat. "We'd love too."
