Author's notes: Hey guys last chapter alert! Hope you've all enjoyed my story and I'm currently writing the sequel right now. Please tell me if you'll tune in for the sequel, and what you would like to see in the sequel. Meanwhile, sit back and enjoy my story!
"What did you just say?" Danny and Chin both said in disbelief. No one had expected this coming. Not only the world of cops extremely dangerous, the chances of Kaila wanting anything to do with a cop's world is next to zero because being constantly in danger isn't something that she'd probably want to do with her life.
"Steven are you out of your freaking mind?" Danny was the first one to react.
"Shut up Danny. Kono?" Steve snapped at Danny and turned to Kono
Kono didn't know what to say, she was at a loss for words. Would she actually want Kaila in Five-0?
"Steve….." Kono started
"Kono just listen to my reason. She's such a great girl, selfless, fearless, courageous, and has a hell of a right hook. That's the basis of a great cop Kono. On top of that, she's been through so much and she's survived them all, I just want her to have a job where she's surrounded by people who care and love her. I wanna be able to protect her and I'm sure everyone here does too. But we can't do that unless she's in Five-0, where we can keep an eye on her." Steve explained
"Steve… I don't know. What if she doesn't want to? She's see both me and Chin suffer because we're cops and I don't want her to suffer the same things that we do. The toll it takes on our lives outside of our work, even our families Steve… You, Danny and Chin should understand that." Kono hesistated.
"Well I'll never force her to join us if she doesn't want to. I just want her to have the choice of joining us if she wants. Kono all the family she has left is you and Chin, don't you think she'll relish having you guys' backs out there?"
"Oh Steve…. I just don't know about her as a cop. What if she doesn't become a good cop or can't handle the pressure?" Kono was genuinely torn
"Hey she's your sister, she's just gonna be just as good as you, I know it and you know it." Steve smiled
That was all the convincing that Kono needed. Having her boss believe in her and her sister so much, it had just won her over.
"Alright, once she's awake, you can ask her to join Five-0." Kono smiled and hugged all three of them.
"Keep your sister in check alright? If you're not careful, we have a female Dr Slaughter here." Danny said with a smirk at Steve
"Oh will you shut up Daniel." Steve said with a big sigh
"Never. Now let's go eat."
"My God Daniel how much of your life revolves around food?"
"As much yours revolve around armed and dangerous conflict bitch." Danny retorted
"Haha he's got you there boss." Kono said teasingly
"Did you guys plan this ambush? What's Chin gonna say?" Steve asked suspiciously
"I ain't part of this brah, this is all Danny.'
"I knew I should've beaten you to pulp after that UFC charity event." Steve chuckled
"Not a chance buddy."
They were all having a good laugh when the doctor walked towards them
"Hey if you guys want to see her again, I'll give u 5-10 minutes now."
"Yes that'd be great, thanks doctor." Chin thanked the doctor.
They all entered the room and saw a still very much fragile Kaila but the colour had returned to her tanned cheeks
"Hey guys! Howzit." Kaila smiled
"From the looks of things, much better than you superwoman." Kono teased
"Talk some sense into your sister please Officer Kalakaua, she's refused any kind of painkillers." The nurse laughed and walked out of the room to give them some privacy
"Kaila is that true? Don't be stupid, let's get some drugs into you, and fast." Kono said worriedly
"Chill sister I'm good." Kaila assured
"Seriously? Do you not have a kryptonite? What is wrong with u?" Danny stared with his mouth open
"Oh don't get me wrong, this hurts like hell, but I'm not gonna let drugs help me. Plus I can play the sympathy card now." Kaila grinned
"Yea….. no not with me." Kono said with a mock stern face. "But anyways we wanted to talk to you about something."
"What's up?"
"How would you like to join Five-0?"
"Sorry I don't think I heard you correctly, whatchu say?"
Kono took a deep breath before continuing.
"We all want you to join Five-0."
"Are you freaking serious right now?"
"We're all dead serious about this Kaila." Steve chimed in
"I don't know brah….. I mean me? As a cop?" Kaila questioned doubtfully
"Well you would have to go through the Police Academy first, but a person with skills of your calibre should get fast tracked through in about a month or so. I myself can see you as a fantastic cop, but this is your choice."
Kaila still looked fairly uncertain as she turned to Kono and Chin
"Cuz? Kono? What do you guys think about this?"
"I couldn't be happier if you joined, but think carefully about the risks involving police work, because once you get into the world of cops, there's no going back." Kono said carefully
"Chin?"
"I agree with Kono Cuz, I would be thrilled but think carefully." Chin nodded and agreed with Kono
"What about you Danny?"
"Certainly sweetheart. Working with you would increase my life expectancy unlike working with this maniac." Danny said, pointing at Steve. Steve rolled his eyes.
"Then I'd be honoured to join Five-0." Kaila looked at Steve and broke into a huge smile, which Steve returned
The team were discussing their plans when the nurse came back in
"I gave you guys way too much time, this girl needs to rest, now skedaddle!"
"Ok bye Kaila, if you need us, we'll be right outside the door." Kono smiled and the team were turning towards the door
"Hey Steve can I just talk to you for a second? (Turns to nurse) Please just give us 2 minutes." The nurse sighed and walked out of the room. Kono, Chin and Danny exchanged confused looks but followed the nurse and left Steve alone with Kaila.
"What's up?" Steve asked
"One question before I go on Steve: How much do you like my sister?"
"WHAT? What makes you say that?" Steve said, stumped
"You could say I have a knack of telling when people like someone. It's a sixth sense really." Kaila laughed
"If I did, would you mind?"
"Are you kidding me? You're probably the best guy that came into Kono's life. Ever."
"Well I don't really know how hard I've fallen for your sister… I'm just not sure." Steve said uncertainly
"Well I'm just gonna be upfront with this. Are you in love with her?"
"I…..I….. I think… No I know I am." Steve said with finality
"Good. Now when we finish this conversation I want you to go and ask my sister out."
"Are you serious? How do you know she won't say no? How do you know she even likes me? I just…. I don't…. I just don't want to be rejected by her. I value our friendship too much."
"Are you not a Lieutenant Commander? Last time I checked, you were one hell of a boss. Kono always spoke so highly of you that I thought u were a God or something. Now go strap on a pair and ask my sister out, she's not gonna be around forever." Kaila smiled gently, but she knew that Steve needed a motivating speech.
"Thank you so much Kaila. For everything." Steve gently squeezed her hand, took a deep breath and walked out of the room. Outside was only Kono standing there.
"Oh great.." Steve whispered to himself
"Steve? Is something wrong? What did Kaila say to you?" Kono said with a slightly worried expression
Steve looked at Kono and at that moment he knew. It was now or never, he had to make a move now or forever leaving her alone. Steve walked to Kono until their heads were basically touching
"Steve…." Kono's face was heating up big time. Steve put a finger on Kono's mouth
"Shhh…." Steve removed his finger and planted a passionate kiss onto Kono's lips. Kono was frozen in the moment for a second or two, but before Steve started having second thoughts Kono put her arms around Steve's neck and pulled him even closer. Both of them knew that this was right, in each others arms, and they never wanted to let go. While Danny and Chin walked back into the hallway and caught sight of Kono and Steve
"About time huh Chin." Danny smiled. He was happy for his partner and for Kono, they had finally found their way to each other.
"For sure brah, I was getting impatient there for a second. Glad they finally came to their senses." Chin was just as equally happy for them two. He was glad his cousin had finally found someone who deserved her. Meanwhile Steve and Kono had finally surfaced from their kiss
"Oh yea by the way, Kono Kalakaua, would you do me the honour of being my girlfriend?" Steve asked Kono, holding her close.
"Of course Steve." Kono whispered softly
"I love you Kono." Steve said firmly, looking Kono straight in the eye
"I love you too Steve, promise me one thing though."
"Anything."
"Never let me go." Kono looked Steve in the eyes
"This (Gesturing him and Kono), this is forever and always." Steve pulled Kono in for another kiss when Danny and Chin interrupted them
"Get a room lovebirds." Danny said with a smirk on his face
"DANNY? What the hell!" Steve and Kono suddenly bounced off each other like they were infectious. Kono was blushing red and Steve had a annoyed expression plastered all over his face.
"What I'm not allowed congratulate two of my best friends? Come here." Danny hugged Kono and Steve. After they separated Kono looked at Chin, worried about what was gonna come next
"Chin…?"
Then Chin did something that neither Kono nor Steve was expecting: He broke into a huge smile
"Why so surprised Cuz? Steve's gotta be better than all the tools you dated right?"
"Yea definitely." Kono couldn't disagree with that.
The whole team was buzzing about what had just transpired. Kono and Steve had never looked happier, Danny and Chin knew that brighter days were ahead.
"So Steven what happened for you to finally come to your senses?" Danny asked with a curiosity
"I gotta thank Kaila for that. I owe her everything. She gave a big speech which woke me to my senses: that I was falling for Kono." Steve said and put an arm around Kono
"My sister? Oh wow she's a better sister than I deserve. Hey you guys head on up to our sleeping quarters, I'll talk to Kaila for a bit, and I'll be right there."
"Alright, hurry back" Steve whispered to Kono, planting a gentle kiss.
"Oh can't wait for the lovey-dovey to start." Danny said sarcastically.
Kono smiled and headed into Kaila's room, where Kaila was waiting for someone to come in with news
"From your big smile I'm gonna assume that you and Steve is a green light sister?" Kaila guessed
"Yep, thanks to you. I love you so much you know that?" Kono said and went to hug her sister. She had owed Kaila so much, and decided from now on she would do anything to make her happy.
"It's nice to know I'm appreciated. Oh crap the anaesthesia is getting to me." Kaila said as she yawned
"We'll be back home in no time I promise. How would you like to come and live with me?"
"I'd love to. Cousin Lani's place is getting a little crowded. Oh by the way Kono…." Kaila said with the last bit of strength she had to fight the anaesthesia.
"Yes?"
"When Wo Fat pushed me out of the truck for the exchange. I wasn't sure that I was ever gonna see home again, I wasn't sure about anything really. But there was one thing I was absolutely sure of….." Kaila struggled to get the words out
"What was that?" Kono wasn't really sure about where this was going
"It was…. With you and your team being there….. I couldn't of asked for better backup.." And that was all that Kaila could get out before she fell asleep
She really is my sister, Kono thought as she walked out of the room.
Thanks for sticking to this story till the end guys! Please review and recommend this story to your friends!. Did you like the ending? The reference I made to what Kono said to Steve in 2x05 at the end? What would've been a better ending? I'll be sure to address Wo Fat's connection to Kaila and Kono's past in the sequel. Ideas and suggestions would be brilliant!
