Guys I'm so sorry for not updating I hit a block and needed to just walk away from writing for a while. Sorry for not letting you know sooner. This isn't super long but I wanted to start somewhere. The next chapter will follow straight on hopefully I'll update tomorrow.
Chapter two
Grace followed Danny into HQ her little legs moving quickly to keep up with her dad's long strides, her eyes wide as she took in the large crowds of officers going about their daily duties. She had told her daddy she was sick today and couldn't go to school. It wasn't entirely true and she was pretty sure her daddy knew that but he could be such a softie at times that she knew she could wrap him round her little finger and get a day off. She did have a little sniffle so she wasn't completely lying but it certainly wasn't so bad that she would have been able to attend school.
"You keeping up Monkey?" Danny chuckled. As he looked back to Grace still climbing the stairs.
"Yeah Danno it's because I don't feel well" Grace mumbled adding a small cough for effect.
"Hmmm I'm sure" Danny grinned as he took her hand in his and led her towards his office.
Grace could hear voices as she walked alongside Danny towards some offices. She knew she would be going to work with her Danno today and he had told her she would meet her auntie and Uncles today. She had heard her Danno talk about some people called Steve, Chin and Kono and apparently she knew them as a baby but she didn't remember them.
"Hey man" Chin greeted as he looked up from the smart table not noticing the little girl cowering behind her father.
"Chin" Danny acknowledged as he pulled Grace around him.
"Oh mate this isn't Grace is it?" Chin asked in surprise as he looked at the little girl.
"Sure is, say hello Grace"
"Hello" Grace whispered softly still clinging to Danny.
"Hey Danny you got a minute?" Steve asked as he walked out of his office absent minded looking at his phone before noticing the little girl.
"No way is that Grace!" Steve exclaimed. "Grace your dad's told us so much about you"
"He's told me so much about you!" Grace giggled, she liked this man.
"Chin I've got it all copied just need to file…Hey!" Kono exclaimed.
"You okay rookie" Danny smiled.
"Yeah except Chin has me doing all the paper work"
"Yeah because you went out last night to get drunk rather than do your work then and I had to do it" Chin explained as Kono made silly faces behind his back.
Grace giggle as Kono made fun of Chin.
"Hey Grace I'm auntie Kono"
"Hi"
"She says she isn't well so couldn't go to school today" Danny said in a knowing voice.
"Oh really" Chin grinned knowing Kono had been one to fake illness to get a day off school.
"My throat hurts" Grace mumbled.
"I thought you had a cough?" Danny questioned.
"And a cough…I have both"
"Ahh well ice cream is a sure way to ease a sore throat" Kono grinned. "Do you want to come with me Grace I have ice cream in the break room"
Grace grinned widely and ran to Kono, taking her hand but still turning to check with Danny.
"I thought Steve would be the bad influence on my daughter not the rookie!"
"Oh Steve will be a bad influence, I'm just being the greatest auntie obviously" Kono chuckled as she led Grace to get ice cream.
"Kono always faked illness at Grace's age" Chin laughed.
"Yeah, she was with her mum yesterday, I've noticed she acts weird the following day" Danny sighed.
"Have you spoken to her?"
"I tried but she shrugs things off"
"Maybe she will talk to one of us, you know sometimes you just have to talk to someone else" Steve suggested.
"Like you would know"
"What's that meant to mean"
"You're not exactly the best with words"
"He got a point" Chin laughed.
"Funny"
"Danno! Auntie Kono let me have ice cream and lemonade" Grace said excitedly as she ran back into the main room.
"You'll be bouncing off the walls!"
"Oh come on…Danno…it's a onetime thing"
"Steven it's all sugar and don't call me that"
"Grace did, how did that come about?" Steve asked as he crossed his arms and smirked.
"Shut up Steven"
"Danno don't be rude" Grace scolded.
"Sorry monkey"
"I'll find out"
"It's nothing special Steven"
"Anyway, we still haven't located Bradley Johnson from yesterday's case, Duke said HPD are running leads but the governor wants us to join the search and be the ones to interrogate him." Chin informed.
"Look at you all in charge!" Danny laughed.
"I asked him to take calls" Steve piped up.
"Ohh"
"Does it have anything to do with your phone?" Danny enquired.
"Leave it Danno"
"Stop calling me that"
"Can we go and start searching I'm sick of paper work!" Kono sighed.
"Well I think since Grace is ill she will need to stay here and rest, and seeing as you're on paper work you should stay and get it done and keep Grace company" Chin suggested.
"Cuz!"
"I agree, Grace you okay with auntie Kono?"
"Hmm okay"
"She will look after you I promise" Danny reassured.
"Okay"
Kono and Grace sat in Kono's office; Grace was watching something on Kono's I pad while Kono finished up her work. The guys were still out following leads so would probably be a while. She had text Adam to bring her food since she was hungry and wanted to see him. He arrived quickly walking into HQ, a smile on his handsome face as he entered Kono's office.
"Hey babe"
"Hey handsome" Kono smiled as she kissed him soundly and settle in his arms.
"Hi there" Adam said noticing Grace looking up with big doe eyes.
"This is Grace, Danny's daughter, you remember right?"
"Of course I do, but you were a baby the last time I saw you"
"I'm seven now" Grace whispered.
"It's nice to see you again Grace"
"Are you Kono's boyfriend?"
"I'm her husband"
"Danno told me about you once"
"Yeah?"
"He said that no one trusted you"
"That was a long time ago Grace, your dad and uncles became good friends with Adam"
"Danno said that too, does this make you my uncle?"
"If you want me to be" Adam smiled.
"I do, do you have babies auntie Kono?"
"No sweetheart not yet"
"Do you want babies?"
"Yeah darling" Kono grinned as Adam kissed her temple.
"I want a brother or sister but Danno and mummy aren't together"
"Your dad might meet someone else"
"Mummy has met someone she says I must call him daddy Stan but he's not my daddy"
"Oh, sweetheart does your daddy know this?"
"No he might get sad"
"You know your daddy will always be your daddy he loves you very much" Kono said softly as she moved from Adam to Grace.
"I know but mummy…" Grace began as the sound of the guys could be heard returning hauling in their guy. "Danno!" Grace exclaimed as she left Kono's office to see her Danno.
