Grand Master I think your feeling is right, as always

Enjoy the next two peaceful chapter, cause then there will be a lot of drama...


OMG….That's why she stopped at the drugstore…..Mary said to herself.

After Mary had put everything back into Catherine's purse she grabbed some of Steve's dehydrated pineapple slices. and went back out to join Catherine at the beach. "So eh, did you get what you needed at the drugstore?" Mary asked after a short silence.

"Uhm, yeah. I just had to pick up some stuff…" Why do I get the feeling that Mary knows something? I haven't told anyone so…no, she doesn't know. She can't have the McGarrett Sixth Sense, can she? Well, her mom's CIA, Dad was Navy plus a cop, and Steve is Navy and was Naval Intelligence….so maybe it is part of her DNA. Catherine thought to herself.

Leave it there! Mary's better judgment told her, but there was her natural curiosity that was bugging her to know more about what she had found. "Great, you know two months ago, when I found out I was pregnant…I was like 6 weeks late and took the test… at home. It was positive but I couldn't believe it so, I went to the doctor's and he confirmed it." Mary said and the longer she talked about herself finding out she was pregnant Catherine got a feeling that she knew what was in her bag.

"Okay, Mary, enough with your little tale of being pregnant. You looked in my purse, didn't you!?" Catherine asked when she couldn't take it anymore.

"I wasn't in there intentionally, Cath, really. I dropped it accidently when I was looking for cookies. I… I'm sorry, Cath. I didn't mean to…snoop in your stuff." Mary explained. "I dropped it when I turned around and when I picked it up… I saw the package. Cath if you think you are pregnant you should do the test."

"Don't you think I know that?" Catherine asked sarcastically letting Mary know that she was angry, scared and a little annoyed that she knew now what Cath was suspecting.

"I'm really sorry, Cath." Mary repeated again when Catherine just gave her an mad glare.

"Maybe its better that I leave now, tell Steve that I wasn't feeling well or something…" Mary said standing up after a couple minutes. She walked past her and already had reached the Lanai when Catherine got up and went after her.

"Mary, hey… wait!" she called after her as Mary disappeared into the house. Stubbornness defiantly runs in that family! Catherine thought to herself when Mary didn't stopped.

"MARYANN, wait!" Catherine yelled again and then Mary stopped to look at her. "Stay, please. I know you weren't snooping in my stuff and I probably should have hidden it upstairs or something…." Catherine said. "And I'm sorry for being mad about that. It's just…God, I'm so scared. I'm 6 weeks laer… and I'm never late. Maybe, a few times when I have stress at work, which is basically always… but now… I'm on R&R and I have no idea how this could have happened…" Really Rollins, no idea how this had happened? Seriously? Catherine thought to herself, suddenly wanting to slap herself for saying that.

"I was scared too before I did the test, but trust me you will feel a lot better after it." Mary said in a comforting tone. "Maybe you're not pregnant and if you are see the positive side. We can go shopping together and later our kids can play together." Mary said sounding way to excited about it. "Now that I am living here again, think how close they will be."

"Hold on, right there! Have you thought about your brother?" Catherine asked feeling sick all ready. "We are barely back together for like two months and image his face and reaction when I tell him I'm pregnant… If I'm pregnant." He will go all Navy SEAL on me and swim for days and days. That's always what he did when he was stressed about us, and I don't know if I could take feeling him reject the idea of having a baby with me."

I bet his face would be priceless… Mary thought to herself and had to grin as she imagined her brother hearing the news.

"You know, we still have an hour until Steve is supposed to be home. Why don't you do it now?" Mary asked looking into Catherine's scared face. "You have it way better than I had it when I did my test; you have me for support." Mary said wrapping an arm around Catherine's waist.

Catherine thought about it for a moment and then she took a deep breath "Okay, but even if it's positive no word to your brother or anyone else, are we clear?" Catherine asked doing her best to sound strong. "And no funny faces at me or him, either."

"Clear, now let's go and do it." Mary took her hand and walked with her into the kitchen to get the test out of Catherine's purse.

"Should I come upstairs with you or is it okay for you that I wait here?" Mary asked Catherine a little concerned as they arrived at the stairs.

"You can wait here." Catherine said quietly and then she went upstairs.

Mary didn't know why, but for the next 10 minutes she felt way too excited to sit still on the couch. She paced up and down the living room, always turning to look upstairs when she thought she heard the bathroom door. Then when Catherine finally opened it and started to come down, she went to the stairs meeting her halfway up. She looked into Catherine's face finding it unreadable as Catherine was still not saying a word. They both walked down and when Mary couldn't take the suspension anymore she had to ask. "And?"

Catherine didn't look at her as she handed the test over Mary while she walked past her to the couch. She sat down and grabbed a pillow then she bent forward and buried her face in it.

This isn't true… Was all that she could say to herself as tears rolled down her face.

"Hey Cath!" Mary said as she sat down carefully next to her. "Catherine?" she asked rubbing her back gently to comfort her. "Catherine, look at me." Mary ordered when Catherine didn't react.

Slowly Catherine lifted her head up while she was still crying.

"Hey, it's good news." Mary said gently removing the hair out her face. "It's good news." She repeated again. "Steve will be happy, trust me. He will be one happy Dad."

"This is too soo…:" Catherine tried to put her feelings into words but she failed miserably. There were no words that could describe her feelings right now. On one side she was very happy. Yes she wanted to have kids with him…she always had. On the other side she was scared that Steve would leave her, because it wasn't planned. "I don't know… Do you really think he would be happy?" Catherine asked unsure.

"Yeah, he will." Mary nodded. "Look he had showed me a couple of the letters he wrote you and from what I've seen he will be more than happy about it. He loves you more than anything in the world, right?" Mary asked and Catherine nodded as she rubbed away the tears.

"Then imagine how much he would love your child okay, maybe he would go back to the caveman behavior, but that's normal for a Dad, look at Danny." Mary said and Catherine had to laugh.

"True, thanks Mary for being here for me." Catherine said with a smile on her face. "But no word to…"

"My lips are sealed." Mary said pulling the imaginary zipper on her mouth, causing another laugh from Catherine. Just like her brother does.

By the time Steve arrived at home Ryan was already there. Mary kept her promise and didn't say a word about the test.

"Why can't you be nice for once?" Catherine asked annoyed that Steve basically ignored his sister's boyfriend as he stood at the grill.

"I don't like him." Steve replied not letting him out of his sight. He had sex with my sister, and got her pregnant….I think he's full of himself too. Steve thought to himself.

"You already checked him out, and Danny checked him out. Should I call some friends at NAV SEC and ask if they can check their database as well?" Catherine asked pulling her cell phone out of the back pocket of her jeans.

"I know that and you don't have to make a call. It's just I don't know… I just don't like him." Steve replied.

"But can't you at least try to be nice for me?" Catherine asked looking at him with her best puppy dog eyes. "Please?"

Steve grins at her. "I'll try, for you, okay? He leans in and gives her a quick kiss. "But just because he is the father of my nephew."

"Niece." Catherine corrected him.

"Whatever." Steve rolled his eyes. Now she starts with it too… God, what will happen if Cath would get pregnant? Steve thought to himself.

For the rest of the night Steve did his best to be nice to Ryan, even though he doesn't like him.
