Hawaii

Official Disclaimer
The characters of Steve McGarrett, John McGarrett and anyone else within the story who might sound familiar do not belong to me in any shape or form, I am merely using them for my own entertainment purposes.
The character of Danni Williams could probably be considered mine by now. Although the character was originally based on male Danny Williams I think it's probably to say that she is now her own individual character. She has her own story and her own individual background now, a background and story which is different from male Danny's story. This also means that Grace is different as well since not only does she live full time with her mother but also because Danni and Duncan have a fairly civil relationship with each other. Grace's surname is also Taylor in this saga as Williams is Danni's maiden name while Taylor was her married name.
The characters of Theo McGarrett, Evie Taylor, Michael Landon, Karen Landon and Dean Landon do belong to me though.
I should also add that if a character is mentioned who you don't recognise from the show then they probably belong to me as well.
Author Note
Here's chapter Four of Hawaii for you.
Sorry for the slight delay in getting this chapter today. Real life has been a bit hectic at the moment and unfortunately it seems as though it will continue for the time being. This probably means that I will only be able to update one day at the weekend though whether this will be the Saturday or the Sunday I'm unsure of at the moment. I'll be playing it by ear on what day it is.
I will be trying to do multiple updates on this day so look out for them.
I'm hoping to focus on this story for a bit, mainly because I'm enjoying writing it and I have a soft spot for Theo, he's just so, so cute and I love seeing Steve turn to mush around his son.
Anyway, there's nothing much more to say other than I hope you enjoy the story and to thank you for sticking with me
Official Summary
Steve McGarrett's whole world was changed when he met Danni Williams and had a one night stand with her. That one night stand ended up with him becoming a father and being in a relationship with her. Now on top of that he finds out that Danni is moving to Hawaii, a place he hasn't been since his father had sent him from it when he was fifteen. Can Steve balance everything and face his demons or will everything he's building fall apart.
Chapter Summary
"Are you sure that this is a good idea Danni? Maybe it would be better for everyone if I stayed behind to double check that we have everything we need for our trip tomorrow" Steve suggested, the slightest tinge of hope flavouring his voice as he watched Danni applying her makeup with an ease which spoke of experience.

Please keep in mind that I don't have a Beta for this story so the odd mistake may creep in without me meaning it to. I have also never been to Hawaii so all locations are either from the show, google or made up in my own mind.

Chapter Four
"Are you sure that this is a good idea Danni? Maybe it would be better for everyone if I stayed behind to double check that we have everything we need for our trip tomorrow" Steve suggested, the slightest tinge of hope flavouring his voice as he watched Danni applying her makeup with an ease which spoke of experience.
For a moment she remained silent before placing her eye liner on the almost empty surface of her vanity set and turned to look at Steve. He stared back at her for a moment, enjoying the view she presented unconsciously to him before focusing his attention on the words leaving her mouth.
"We've already quadruple checked everything Steve. Everything that we need is already packed and in the car for tomorrow. My parents have already agreed to pack and send the rest of the stuff we're leaving behind over to us when we've established ourselves in Hawaii. There's nothing else for us to do but enjoy the last night here." She told him firmly, continuing before he could get a word in. "Which means that we are heading over to my parents' house, like we've planned to have dinner with them and the others. What's troubling you about it? It's not like you haven't met them before."
"I haven't met all of them." Steve pointed out to her, his mind flickering back to the one time when he had met her parents, her sister Caitlin and her youngest brother Ben. A meeting which had left him with the strong impression of them not liking or approving of him.
He blinked, realising that Danni had taken advantage of his distraction and was now seated beside him on the mattress, watching him with a soft smile on her face which somehow made her grey eyes look lighter in colour. She shook her head before leaning forward and captured his lips in a soft lingering kiss, her small hand coming up and wrapping round the back of his neck as she teased him with soft kisses. He hummed, tilting his head to the side and took control of the kiss, deepening it, his arms moving round her waist and dragging her closer until she was straddling him, his hands slipping beneath her top.
"No, no, no" She murmured, reluctantly pulling away from him, leaning back far enough that there was space between their upper bodies. "We don't have time for what you're planning mister. We've still got to gather the kids together and drive to my parents place. Trust me when I say you do not want to be late Steven. We'll never hear the end of it if we are." She told him, forcing herself to climb off of him. A laugh escaped her when Steve's face fell into a look which she could only describe as a pout. "Don't give me that look, we can have all of tonight to do what we both want" She promised him with a nod before leaning down and grapping his hand in hers, giving it a small tug. "Come on."
Steve sighed as Danni dropped his hand, coming to his feet and followed his girlfriend out of the bedroom door and towards the living room where the sound of hushed conversation could be heard.
He had been with the small family for a week now and still Grace and Evie hadn't warmed to him, or rather Evie was warm and friendly to him whenever Grace wasn't around which told him that the problem was with the older girl and not the younger. It had taken him a mere two days to realise that Evie adored her older sister and would always follow her example regardless of what her own feelings on the matter in question may have been.
It was an issue which he knew he would have to eventually address but he wasn't a hundred percent sure about how to go about it. He technically was nothing to either girl. He wasn't their stepfather or an Uncle or even someone who was in their lives enough to establish himself in a parental role to them. Even now he was only there for another two weeks before he had to report back to base for his next mission. If it wasn't for the fact that his small son was their brother then he doubted that they would have anything to do with him.
Theo on the other hand had taken to Steve within a day of being with him but Steve was positive that was mostly down to the fact that Theo was one of the happiest babies who Steve had encountered. His son was happy to befriend the world, flashing everyone he met an adorable grin which turned the majority of people into his willing slave. Steve swore blind that Theo's smile had been inherited from Danni but she seemed convinced that it came from him. He was pretty sure his Aunt and Uncle would take one look at Theo and fall head over heels in love with him. A thought which made him happy.
"Hey, is everything okay?" Steve blinked, the sound of Danni's concerned sounding voice dragging him away from his musing.
"Yeah sorry, I was miles away for a moment" He admitted, wrapping a casual arm around her shoulders as he brushed a kiss over the top of her head. She looked unconvinced for a moment before sighing and allowing him to guide her into the living room.
A quick glance round the room showed that all three children were in there. Grace was kneeling beside Theo's play mat, holding onto his small hand, talking softly to him while the baby lay on his back, kicking his legs into the air while he stared up at the mobile set above him with a rapt expression on his face. Evie was in the corner of the room, crayons spilled on the floor around her as she bent over something she was clearly working on, her tongue stuck out the corner of her mouth in concentration as she scribbled away.
It was Evie who spotted them first, her face brightening up as she jumped to her feet with a cry of "Mamma" before racing across the room and grabbing Danni's hand, tugging at it as she spoke excitedly. "Mamma, come and look at what I've done" The small girl demanded, shooting Steve a quick grin before she smothered it with a worried look towards her sister.
"Okay Evie, I'm coming, I'm coming" Danni said, patting Steve's arm as she moved past him towards Evie's corner.
Steve stared after her for a moment before he set his shoulders and headed over to the play mat, kneeling down beside Grace and Theo, his eyes focusing on his son. He couldn't help the grin which came to his face when Theo tilted his head towards him with a wide smile and a cry of delight as he held out his arms in Steve's direction, making it clear that he wanted Steve to pick him up.
"Hey Baby boy" He crooned as he reached down and scooped Theo into his arms holding him lightly enough that his baby could squirm into the position which he wanted to be in. Steve ducked his head down and kissed Theo's cheek before he looked at Grace who was watching him closely. "Thanks for keeping Theo company Gracie" He said with a smile at her. Grace shrugged her shoulders at him before she answered.
"Teddy is my baby brother, it's my job to look after him" She stated, a tone to her voice as though her answer was the most obvious answer in the world.
"I know and he's lucky to have both you and Evie looking out for him" Steve responded, his eyes tightening on the dark haired baby when he suddenly squirmed again.
Grace remained silent, her mouth twisting as though she was biting the inside of her cheek. He waited to see if she would say anything to her but she didn't so he came to his feet and turned round just as Danni and Evie came up to them.
"We should head off now" Danni announced looking around them with a smile. "Girls go and get your shoes on please. Nanny and Granddad are waiting for us."
"Okay Mamma" Grace said, a smile coming to her face before she skipped to the door with Evie running behind her.
"You okay with him or do you want me to take him?" Danni asked Steve, nodding her head towards Theo who was resting against Steve's shoulder, his eyes looking heavy as though he was going to sleep.
"Yeah, I've got him Danni" Steve assured her, watching as she nodded, grabbing her bag and headed towards the door. Steve glanced around him before following her out of the room and down the corridor towards the front door where the girls were pulling their shoes on, talking excitedly to each other. Steve watched them for a moment before leaning down at kissing Theo on top of the head when the small boy made a small noise which sounded remarkably like he was complaining at the lack of attention that Steve was showing him. "Sorry baby boy" He murmured, tilting his head down further so he could stare in Theo's eyes, his heart softening when Theo grinned at him,
"Steve, let's go" Danni said.
"Coming Danni" Steve said, pulling on his own boots before heading out of the door and towards Danni's car, a smile coming to his face when Grace and Evie ran past him. He waited until both girls had clambered into the back of the car before leaning in and placing Theo in his seat, strapping him in. He leaned out, closing the door and looked towards Danni as she moved down the path towards him.
"Catch" She called out, throwing him the car keys. He caught them out the air, grinning at her when she winked at him and headed round to the passenger side. Steve climbed into the driver's seat, adjusting the seat before sticking the key in the ignition.
"Ready?" He asked, glancing at the Danni as she nodded.
"Ready" She agreed.
Steve swallowed as he reversed the car out of the drive and took the road which would lead Danni's parents' house, feeling as though he was approaching his own doom.
He breathed out, glancing at Danni as she reached out and rested her hand on his thigh, squeezing down on it with a reassuring smile at him which comforted him despite himself.
He had faced the worst or the worst during his time in the Navy and survived it.
He would survive this as well
He had to.
