A/N: Here is the next chapter hope you enjoy it. I didn't realize how hard it would be for me to write two stories at a time, plus read my book club stuff, and have a life. I am going to keep working hard at it, though. Can't wait for some love between McRoll soon on Five-0...hope it's sooner rather than later.

Danny's Ohana

Chapter 4

Five-0 Headquarters early afternoon

Watching Steve and Catherine with their children is always bittersweet for me. I know how happy they are and they certainly deserve to be. But then I think of what Rachel and I once, (almost twice had), and a piece of my heart breaks again inside.

I think about the day we got married and how happy we were and how breathtakingly beautiful she was. I see those little babies with their parents and think back to Grace's birth and how scared we both were because we didn't know if we could do a good job being parents. I remember holding Rachel's hand while she was giving birth to Charles who I thought was Stan's. Part of me wonders if somewhere I have a guardian angel that waited until Stan was out of town so that when Rachel went into labor, I was the one she leaned on.

I was able to take videos so Stan could see his son, and now knowing he's my precious little boy, I wonder what he went thru when he found out Charlie was mine. For the "High" that I felt, he must have been feeling so "Low". I almost felt sorry for him, (I said almost), I say to myself as I chuckle under my breath. Steve thinks that is why Stan has been cheating with so many women since he found out Charles is really mine. He wants to punish Rachel and let her feel the pain he has had to. I imagine that as happy I was to find out, he must have been devastated to hear the news. That is no reason to break your vows and cheat on Rachel and I would never do that to her. I told her this when I thought we still had a chance, but I never felt she truly believed it. I don't know why that is exactly. I have never lied to her about anything unless it was to protect her and the family in regards to a case. Stan doesn't have a record nearly as good. He's a paid liar, that's how he manages to do all his business and make the money my ex father-in-law loves to see him show off. I even called and left her a message that I still loved her and wanted to make it work even though Stan was Charlie's dad. He was only two months old then and I was angry that she lied to me, but I understood why she did it. Her reason for lying was to keep me here so I could help Steve, but it only made things for us a bigger mess

Rachel never used to be the type of woman who was impressed by wealth or showiness. She was raised in London by two working class parents, and has one older brother and sister. He father was the head engineer/mechanic at the train station and her mother was a ticket agent before she married and had children. She stayed home until Rachel graduated from high school then she started working at a nursery school where two of her grandchildren were enrolled. Rachel won a scholarship to Rutger's in New Jersey and that is why she was here and we met. Once she finished school, she started working for a book publishing company and was enjoying that job immensely. She quit working when Grace was born and I supported her 100%. Since we both grew up with our mom's as stay-at-home mothers, we both wanted to give that to Grace and for the first few years things were working out well.

My telephone rings and it's Richard Detweiller to tell me he has the documents ready and I can go pick them up anytime.

Diner around the corner from the Palace 1:00 pm

Steve pays the bill and helps Catherine clean the twins before they head out to go to the doctor's office. Once they are clean Steve puts Saylor in her stroller, while Cath puts John behind his sister. John is really tired and starting to fall asleep as soon as he gets into his seat. The doctor's office is only a five minute drive but they don't like to be late. It takes them five minutes to get to the Palace where Cath's BMV/SUV is parked. Steve gently picks up his son careful not to wake him and puts him in his car seat right behind Steve's. Catherine takes Saylor out of the stroller and goes to the back of the vehicle and puts down the changing pad from the diaper bag to change her. Saylor did a great job eating her vegetable stew but managed to lose some on her outfit so she needs to brand new one. Steve's folds up the stroller and brings it to the back to load once Catherine is finished. Cath takes their now clean little girl and puts her into her car seat. Steve goes around to Cath's door and, ever the gentlemen, opens it for her so she can get in.

"Here you go, Mrs. McGarrett." Steve says as he waits for his beautiful wife to sit down and buckle her seat belt.

"Thank you so much, Commander. I don't think I will ever tire of you being such a gentlemen." she says to Steve as she giggles at him.

"Well that's good because you are my wife, I love you, and I don't ever want you to tire of me or my impeccable manners." he replies as he leans in the car and pecks Catherine on lips. She grabs his face and changes his peck to a long loving kiss.

"Uhm, thank you my love, that is an awfully welcome treat. You taste like 1000 Island dressing….I like very much."

Once his wife is safely in, he shuts her door and gets in his side, and off they go to see Dr. Teng-Teshima. Catherine found Dr. "T" as she was researching pediatricians when she asked for some referrals from Chin's wife Dr. Malia Kelly. Chin and Malia use her as well for their little girl and she is so good with the kids. Sometimes she will come in the room wearing cat ears, an elf hat, or a cowboy hat. She has a really soothing voice and both of Steve's children love her.

They arrive for the appointment at 1:15 pm and Catherine finds a seat while John still sleeps and Steve takes Saylor and holds her on his lap. She loves to have Steve bounce her on his leg and she blows bubbles at him when she giggles. I think Steve has one memory card full of his daughter giggling and blowing bubbles. John on the other hand likes to roll over and over and over. He will do about five in a row then he sits up and sways back and forth looking dizzy. I couldn't believe it when Steve told me he was up to five and he tried for six but he ran out of wall and stopped. Steve said next time he's going to give me the whole living room and dining room to see how many he can do.

Nurse Samuels calls them in for their appointment and does her usual well baby routine. She weighs Saylor, measures her length, measures her head and gives her a sticker of Big Bird on her shirt. While Saylor is getting her vitals done, Cath carefully picks up John and gently rocks him while he is waking up. He really wakes up when she takes off his clothes and puts him on the scale. John hates being naked or just in a diaper unless he is in the pool with Steve or Catherine. Steve is redressing Saylor in the exam room while the nurse and Cath finish John's vitals in the baby lab. After she is done with John, they all go into the exam room and Cath's puts John's clothes back on and he is much happier. It's time for the twins to nurse and go down for their nap, so Cath expects them to be a little cranky at this time. Nurse Samuels goes over what shots they are getting, and why they need them and asks if they have any other concerns they want to ask the doctor about.

Cath tells her that John had been sleeping thru the night at six months, but now he wakes up every three hours and just fusses for no reason they can think of. Sometimes he just wants someone to hold him and he falls back to sleep in five minutes or sometimes he's awake for an hour and he wants to just be fussy. They thought that he was too hold for colic and wonders if he's not eating enough because he would rather nurse then eat any cereal, fruit, veggies, or finger foods. Cath wonders if it could be his teeth coming in or an ear infection because sometimes he leans his head to one side. Since they are new parents, they need some helpful hints and want to rule out anything medical. The nurse said once the doctor's examines them, she will know more, and then she will do their shots. It only takes Dr. "T" five minutes to come and today she is wearing a crown full of jewels. Cath and Steve laugh at her and she says that it was a gift from one of her patients and she always wears it on the day she comes in.

Cath goes over the twins' daily routine and she tells her all about John's nocturnal habits. Steve holds Saylor while the doctor listens to her heart, lungs, checks her mouth, ears, and reflexes of her elbows and knees. She passes her check up with flying colors as Steve and Catherine knew she would. Cath holds John while he gets his exam and he is doing really well until she looks in his left ear and he lets out a blood curdling yelp. Cath and Steve have never heard that sound come out of their son and both jump when they hear it. Dr. "T" immediately stops and tells them he has very red ears, and there is the beginning a puss in one of them. She tells them she needs to give him an RX for ten days worth of antibiotics and if he doesn't feel better by the weekend; he needs to come back in. Otherwise she would like to see him back in two weeks to see how the ear looks, and to see if he's back sleeping thru the night.

Once she leaves the exam room, the nurse comes back in and does the shots and they are ready to leave. Saylor doesn't cry at all, but John starts to cry but it could be from the shot, or the fact that his ear is really sore. Catherine decides to go into the office's nursing suite and nurse John while Saylor and Steve wait in to waiting room, then he takes her outside and lets her try to walk on the grass. After 15 minutes nursing, John falls asleep and Cath brings him out and puts him in the car and Steve does the same with Saylor and they are off to the Palace to drop Steve off.

"Steve, can we drop off the Rx on the way home and you can pick it up on your way home? I want to get the kids home and put them down for their naps. If we don't get them down soon, Kono and Charlie will not get to sleep until after midnight." Cath asks.

"No problem, Babe, I got their back. I'll plan to be home by 6:00 pm at the latest to help with baths and dinner. Do you need anything else from the pharmacy?" he wants to know.

"I think all we need is another bottle of baby Tylenol. Thanks so much Steve."

"You don't need to thank me for getting things we need for our children, Cath. That's what great dad's do and that's what I want to do. You do 90% of the work and give them what they need and I want to do these little things. I love being a dad and every minute I'm with then or doing something as their father, I am very happy. It completes me in a way only you and those babies could." He leans over and grabs her face with both hands and kisses her ever so lovingly. Cath puts her arms around his neck and turns their kiss into something more passionate and when they stop, they are both breathless.

"Wow, Cath that was a great good bye kiss. I am having trouble waiting for tonight. I'll see you at home, and if you need anything else before I leave for the pharmacy, just call me, Babe." Steve says as he gets out of his side and walks around to open Catherine's door.

"I don't think I'll ever get tired of your chivalry." Catherine tells Steve.

"Good, because I'm not going anywhere and neither is my chivalry." Steve tells her as he closes her door on her BMW. "Bye, my love, see you at 6:00."

"Bye, Steve, I love you. What do you want to wear tonight so I can pack your overnight bag?" she asks.

"I'm not sure, just put the basics on the bed please, and I'll get the rest when I get home, thanks." He sticks his head in the window for one last quick kiss.

When Steve reaches the office he goes straight to his office and returns a few calls he received while he was in the doctor's with his family. He speaks with his three Seal friends who said they could help and his other friend with the plane that also said he would be there for him. After that, he goes into the bull pen and calls the team over to the conference table.

"Danny, anything new to report?" he asks.

"Detwiller finished the passports and I picked them up while you were gone. My sister Angela called and sent me the info on the other three hospitals we can use for us to look over the specs and give him our input on which
