Now have fun. :)

Once they arrived at the hospital, Steve was pulled aside and got his wound cleaned and bandaged. After that he called Rachel which he had insisted to do himself.

She reacted worrying, like Steve had expected and told him she would come to the hospital. When Steve finished the call he went back to the private waiting room and joined Chin and Kono. Just like Rachel had said, she arrived twenty minutes later, Grace by her side.

"Uncle Steve!"

"Gracie."

Steve crouched down, as Grace ran towards him and snuggled her head against his chest, while grabbing his shirt. Steve took her in his arms, hugging her tightly.

"Uncle Steve, will Danno be okay?" She asked worriedly, her voice muffled by Steve's shirt. Steve hold her even closer for a moment then retreated a bit to look at her.

"Danno will be fine, Gracie. The doctors are taking care of him."

Don't make a liar out of me, Danny, was Steve's thought when he looked up.

Rachel greeted him silently with a small smile, then they sat down, waiting for any news on Danny's condition.

They had to wait for a few hours.

Steve was sitting on a couch, gently stroking Grace's back who was curled up on his lap and sleeping. Rachel was sitting next to them and her head had come to rest on Steve's right shoulder when she had fallen asleep. Chin was sitting on a chair while Kono silently walked around in the room, restless after sitting still for so long.

That was when the door to the waiting room opened and Dr. Fares showed up.

He was familiar to Five-0 since he had stitched Steve up after a case had gone wrong. He greeted them with a friendly smile, which was enough to light up Steve's heart a bit.

Kono woke Rachel to let her know the doctor was there.

When Dr. Fares started to speak he did it softly to not wake up Grace.

"Detective Williams is going to be fine. He is in the ICU, stable but fighting off an infection he caught because of the wound in his shoulder. The blood loss was intense and he was severely dehydrated but we could compensate that with blood transfusions and fluids. He's currently unconscious and heavily sedated but as soon as we start reducing the medication he will be able to wake up properly. I'm sure you want to stay with him, so we'll settle him in a private room that has a couch in it", Dr. Fares smiled and looked at Steve.

"Thank you, doctor."

Dr. Fares nodded friendly.

"I'll send a nurse in a few minutes to bring you to his room."

Thirty minutes later a nurse named Kaley told them Danny's room number and showed them the way. Rachel got in his room first, along with Steve and Grace.

Danny was hooked up to some monitors which displayed his vitals and had a nasal cannula to help him breathe. He ran a slight fever because of the infection and had an IV in his left hand.

The bruises on his face had already turned into a bright purple, so Grace was a bit scared when she saw him. Steve and Rachel calmed her down, reassuring her that Danno would be okay, while Chin and Kono joined them in the room. One hour later Rachel wanted to leave, but Grace begged her to let her stay with Danno so Steve convinced Rachel that it was okay.

"I'll watch over Grace and make sure she gets some rest."

Rachel nodded gratefully.

"I'll come back and pick her up tomorrow morning."

Steve agreed and sat Grace on his lap, so she could stay at her father's side.

"Is he okay?" Grace asked softly watching Danny as his chest rose and fell in light breathes.

"Danno is fine, Gracie. He just needs some rest now. That's why he will sleep for a while", Steve answered.

Five-0 was surrounding the bed of his injured team member and watching his more or less peaceful sleep while the hours passed. Grace had fallen asleep on Steve's lap after a while so he carefully carried her to the couch and covered her with a blanket before returning to Danny's bedside.

From time to time Danny stirred like he was struggling against some restraints, but he always calmed down soon after it had started. But when it happened for the sixth time, he seemed to drift off into a nightmare and started to panic. Chin and Kono glanced worriedly at Danny but Steve was on his side, quickly taking Danny's hand in his own, squeezing it while being careful about the IV and whispering soothing words to his partner.

"It's alright, Danny. You're at the hospital. You're safe."

Danny moaned anxiously and continued to fight the invisible enemy.

"It's okay. I'm right here, Danno."

Suddenly Danny's fight came to an end and he went limp.

"S'eve..."

"Yeah, I'm here, babe. I've got you. You're okay."

Danny took a deep breath and fell back in a deep sleep.

5 days later

Steve was sitting on Danny's side like he had been doing for the last few days. He only had left once to refresh himself and get some rest at home but returned after a few hours, telling Chin he just couldn't find peace in sleep if he had to think about Danny and his nightmares. Steve was grateful that his partner's condition was improving and the fever had broken down.

Dr. Fares had reduced the medication except the one for the pain and Danny had been in and out since then, never fully aware of his surroundings, but he seemed to be calmed by Steve's presence.

Once Steve went out and down to the ground-floor to get something to eat at the cafeteria. When he came back, Danny was screaming and struggling against two nurses who tried to hold him down. Steve interfered, gripped Danny's arm firmly and spoke to him. His soothing words reached Danny and he went back to sleep.

Steve was worried. Even though Danny woke up from time to time, he seemed to be caught somewhere else. Like he was still in that small room, being tortured...

Steve gritted his teeth. He wished he could make Oeno pay for causing Danny so much pain and fear. Jail was way too easy for this guy. A shark cage would fit him so much better.

Steve smirked a bit when he imagined Oeno being in that cage, surrounded by sharks. Struggling, screaming for his mommy.

"You have a face."

Steve startled and glanced towards the bed until he was staring into two bright blue eyes, looking back at him.

"Danno!"

"Didn't we talk 'bout that?" Danny answered with a light smile.

"What, you wake up after worrying me to death for almost a week and first thing you do is start an argument with me?"

"Sorry. Could you please lift up the bedhead a bit?"

"Way better", said Steve and pressed the button.

Danny gave him a small nod, when the bedhead was high enough and he could comfortably look at Steve.

"So how are you feeling?"

"Like I'm one giant bruise, which is quite the truth, I guess. So what was that mischievous smile about, huh?"

Steve sighed. Danny couldn't let go of anything. It was just not part of his nature.

"I imagined throwing Oeno in a shark cage for what he did to you."

Danny stared at him, surprised.

"I never thought the day will come that I'll say this, but I would be fine with that."

Steve nodded grimly.

"You got him?"

"Oeno? Yeah, HPD booked him when he tried to run off."

"What, not Super-SEAL?"

Steve smiled.

"No, Super-SEAL was looking for his partner."

Danny was at a loss for words. He had hoped that Steve would do everything to find him, but letting a suspect run, especially Oeno? That was even more than Danny could have asked for.

"Thank you", he croaked out.

"Don't mention it. What would I do without my Danno?"

Danny grabbed Steve's hand which rested on the bed and squeezed it.

"I'm serious. I was afraid you wouldn't find me in time. That Grace would have to grow up without her father."

"Hey. Don't do that, Danny. You know, we're ohana. And don't worry about Gracie, she was here and didn't want to leave until she was sure you would be fine."

"You took care of her?"

"Just for one night. Rachel went home, so I watched over Grace."

"Thanks."

"You should get some rest. You look...a bit banged up."

Danny laughed, but winced when a flash of pain reminded him of the bruises all over his body.

"Easy there. No harsh movements. As you said, one giant bruise."

Danny nodded.

"Yeah, thanks for reminding me. They did quite a job on me."

Danny paused, looking upon the expression that appeared in Steve's face.

"What's with the guilty look, McGoof?"

"Nothing."

Danny snorted.

"That my friend, is not 'nothing'. Spit it out."

"I think I should have been there earlier. I should have known that Oeno was behind all of this."

Danny tried to push himself up, but cried out in pain as he put pressure on his injured shoulder.

"Danny!" Steve's eyes widened in pure terror as he jumped to assist Danny and slowly lowered him back on the mattress.

Danny panted, his face a grimace of pain.

"Sorry...I forgot about the damn gunshot wound."

"You forgot?"

"Yeah, it happens, when you're kinda messy in the head from all the meds."

Steve shook his head in disbelief.

"Wait, there was something I wanted to say...Oh yeah! What made you think you are the one to blame?"

"Danny-"

"Drop it, I'm the one speaking now."

Danny had caught his breath and Steve decided to do as he said.

"I heard you. When I relived the time in that room I heard you calling out for me, telling me that I was safe and that you were there. So stop blaming yourself. You came to my rescue, like I was a damsel in distress. And joke aside, you took care of my daughter. That's why I love you, man."

"Danny."

"That's all you have to say?"

Steve smiled.

"No. One more thing. Always."

Danny smiled back brightly and Steve was sure that everything was going to be okay now.

Thank you for following my story until the end. I hope you liked it.

Okay, maybe the story got a bit fluffy at the end, but I love bromance situations between those two. Maybe some of you know the sentence: "That's why I love you, man." from episode 5x12. I watched it and well, loved the dialogue in the end, so I wanted to include a part of it here. I'm sorry for the sudden ending, but this felt like a good way to end this story, before I fail in describing rehabilitation and such. XD

I barely have any medical knowledge though I think it's an interesting subject. ;)

I'm currently writing on a new H5-0 fanfiction, this time it contains slash. I plan to put some fluff into it, but also some explicit stuff. Rating will be M, so look forward to some McDanno. ^^
