After two days Steve was home. He was out on the lanai staring at the sand castle Mary and Grace

had made. Danny was taking Grace home to Rachel and Mary was in the kitchen.

Since the day he woke up everything had been normal between him and Danny. They knew they had to talk, but for now it was good to enjoy his partner company without thinking about the past. He was startled one someone handed him a bottle of water. Since he was back Mary had banished beer.

- Danny! What are you doing here?-

- If you don't want me here, I can go. - Danny said with an unsure expression on his face.

Panic filled Steve's eyes.

- No. - he said a little too quickly.

Danny sighed.

- We need to talk.-

Steve closed his eyes, leaning back in the chair. He knew that moment would come, but he was scared. While he was away, Steve realized that he loved Danny. And not as a friend, he was in love with Danny and loved Grace like she was his. He needed to tell that to his partner but he was afraid of losing him.

- Yeah. Okay, - he said.

Danny sighed again.

- I'm sorry. The way I acted with you when we came back from North Korea. That was the biggest mistake in my entire life. I pushed you away because I was scared. I didn't want to suffer and I didn't want Grace to suffer if you died. I've always trusted you. When I found Jenna in that room, for a while I feared I would have found you dead. And I didn't want to live if you were dead. Not even for my daughter. Every night I had the same dream. You were dead in the back of that truck. And every night, I woke up and I was unable to breathe. I thought that if I pushed you away, Grace and I would suffer less the next time. The way you are; how you never think before you throw yourself into danger, how you don't give a second thought to helping a friend and do something equally dangerous. I know you think those are calculated risks but I was scared. Only when you left I'd understood how wrong I was. That I had only wasted time that Grace and I could have spent with you. I'm sorry. I hope you can forgive me.-

Steve remained quiet while Danny spoke.

- I thought it was something like that. – Steve said quietly. -I know that what I do scares you. I can't promise that I'll stop. I can forgive you. I already have. But I need you to promise me something.-

- What?-

- Promise me that you'll never push me away like that again, Danny. You and Grace are my family.-

- You are our family too, Steve. My daughter won't let me push you away again. She was so mad at me. Those months without you had the worst months since I moved here. The worst months of my entire life. I promise. - Danny said.

They stayed quiet for a while then Danny said.

- I left Gabby.-

Steve opened his eyes, shocked.

- Why? I thought everything was fine.-

- It was. – Danny said shrugging – It's just that we couldn't be happy, because I wasn't in love with her. I was serious when I said the past months had been the worst of my life. I couldn't be happy with Gabby because I feel something for my best friend.-

Steve smiled.

- While I was on this mission the only thing I could think about was you. you and Grace. I didn't want to come back if I couldn't stay with you. - he said then he turned to look Danny in the eyes. – I don't want to spend another day without you.-

Danny smiled and leaned closer to him. The kiss was sweet and slow. It showed the love they felt for each other. When they broke the kiss Steve hid his face in Danny's neck.

- I love you. Don't leave me again.-

Danny hugged him tightly.

- I love you too. I won't leave you. I've got you- he said.

They remained wrapped in each other's arms like that for a while. The way home had been long and painful for both of them and now nothing could tear them apart, not even themselves.

Leaning on the doorframe, without being noticed, Mary watched the scene unfold. She smiled; happy that her brother had found love and that both of them had found a family in Hawaii. She picked her phone and sent a text to Kono.

"They made it. You own me 50."
