When Mary woke up she found a pair of clothes in a small wet pile on the floor, a pair of girl's clothes. At first she was angry that Steve had a lady friend around when his baby niece and sister were sleeping upstairs, she heard a deep laugh emanate from the kitchen, she saw Kono and felt her heart speed up. The two of them were eating pancakes, something she'd never guess he knew how to make.
"Steve you could be the governor for all I care, you need a dose of unhealthy every once in a while, hell I bet your SEAL team doesn't mind the calories every now and then!" Mary felt herself laugh, alerting the two unsuspecting parties of her presence.
"She has a point" Mary said whilst hugging Kono. Steve went to explain but Kono snorted.
"Oh come on boss, it's pretty self-explanatory I mean my clothes are in your living room and I'm wearing your T-shirt. As much as you like to think she's naïve I think Mary will work it out. Now eat your pancakes like a good little boy whilst we lecture you on the proper amount of sweet things you need to survive." Steve looked between his sister and Kono before throwing his hands up in the air saying that it's unfair he was being overpowered in his own home before leaving the girls alone.

When Kono walked in with Steve that morning they were laughing to each other about the predicament with Mary when Chin stepped out of his office.
"Kono they uh… HPD dropped him off he was drunk. I'm sorry but your dad's been arrested" Kono stiffened and turned to Steve who looked as surprised as she was. Kono was about to go to the cell when Steve grabbed her hand. Chin raised his eyebrow as his cousin and boss shared a look before Steve let her go and turned to chin.
"Make sure she doesn't go down there" Chin nodded as Steve left. Chin turned to Kono, suspicion on his face before she blurted out.
"I went to Steve's last night because me and he had a row" and then she ran to her office before Chin could ask her to elaborate.

Steve walked into the cell and glowered.
"Ke'ano Kalakaua, do you know why you were arrested?" the man smiled cynically, his yellow rotting teeth on display.
"The cops are arresting me for having a little too much to drink" Steve scoffed
"Why do you think they brought you here to 5-O?" the older man leaned forward and spat on the floor.
"You seem to know" Steve looked down at the thug who was somehow related to the woman he loved.
"You hit Kono Kalakaua who is a valued member of MY team. You see sir we are Ohana and as such we take care of each other. Therefore I will be arresting you on driving under the influence and Assault on an officer" Steve was about to leave when the man sneered.
"Yeah I hit her, the bitch deserved it thinking she could give me the ultimatum besides the only possible way you would care is if you were sleeping with her." It happened so fast that Steve didn't even process it but somehow Kono had slipped in and had punched her father so hard that the chair tipped backwards, slamming the man onto the concrete floor. Steve spun to the woman.
"Kono get out!" the woman looked hurt but ran out of interrogation as Steve sat the older man upright and left to cool off.

When he got back he found Danny and Chin stood outside Kono's office, Steve walked over.
"What's wrong?" Chin stared at the commander
"She came out from downstairs upset and locked herself in her office" Steve laughed and knocked on the door which was pretty pointless considering it was a glass office.
"Kono you know I have a key right? I can just unlock your door" the woman huffed
"That would be cheating!" she said annoyed. Steve chuckled
"I know but you can't hide in there all day and if you try I'd just call Mary" from outside the glass office everyone could see Kono shudder.
"Yeah, I'd rather not" Danny looked between the two in confusion and Chin just shook his head.
"Besides do you really want that, I mean she'd bring up that thing and then we'd have to suffer through the pancake lecture" Steve just shook his head.
"Well you better let me in then" Kono laughed and eventually unlocked the door before launching herself into him as he gave her a hug, tears running down her face. The other two people in the room took a step back, as if realising what happened in interrogation was between her and Steve and they shouldn't intrude.
"Why was he so mean?" Steve didn't answer, choosing to calm her down. When she calmed down she pulled back, refraining from kissing him because no one knew that they were unofficially together and they needed that talk.
"Steve… I think I need to go home" he nodded and pulled up his phone, ringing Mary and telling her to pick Kono up. Kono protested but Steve gave her a smirk.
"Yeah like I'm going to let you be on your own" and then he waited with her whilst Mary picked her up and then he told Mary in no uncertain terms was she to be left alone before turning to chin.
"Chin we need to talk"
