Disclaimers: I do not, unfortunately and sadly, own anything of Hawaii Five-0 except for my character(s) and ideas. But I do wish I own both Steve/Alex and Danny/Scott and it's on my Christmas wish list.

Gracie-bear

Working on Saturday is definitely not Allegra's styles after being used to New Jersey's culture. She had been here since the morning before dusk and now, the clock is ticking 5.30 pm. They just got a new case and to be honest, it's a chaos. Steve is missing from work, Chin is out with Danny and that left her alone in the bullpen, finishing her works.

A disturbing noise coming out of nowhere hits her buttons and her hand is on her gun, ready to pull and shot. She starts thinking and cursing,

What if it's haunted here?

But when the sound turns out to be the sound of heels clicking on the floor and women's voice, she breaths deeply and relaxes herself, watching as a lady, mid-age in a lovely, sophisticated business suit walks in along with a little girl.

'Gracie-bear?' She blurts.

The lady turns her face to Allegra and softens as she smiles, takes a little time to recognize Allegra behind the table. On the other side, the little girl takes time to process, tilting her head on her side. Her forehead crumbles in confusion and Allegra smiles.

'Hey, Grace. Hey, it's me, Alle.'

She takes her steps in front few feet from both of them.

'You're Danno's friend, right?'

The smart girl speaks and Allegra nods. It's better for her to know her as Allegra, Danno's friend, not as Allegra, Danno's girlfriend or ex-girlfriend, whatever. 'I know you. I missed you.' Grace said, flashing her famous pearly-white teeth and she runs into her arms.

'Really? Aww, I've missed you too, Gracie-bear.'

'You promised me you won't call me that?' She frowns.

While Danny's nickname for Grace is monkey, she nicknamed her Gracie-bear. 'Because you're so cuddly and cute like my teddy bear.' Allegra chuckles, while talking in a baby-like voice. Grace laughs and presses a kiss on her cheek.

'Rachel.' She smiles.

'I haven't see you for a long time.' Rachel said, chuckling.

Allegra stands up and offers her hand and Rachel takes it, shaking their hands. 'Looking for Danny?' Allegra asks and glances at the Danny's closed-door office. 'He's not here. He's a bit busy.' Rachel sighs in frustration. 'He promised that he'll send Grace to school and pick her up later at 4 and now he's nowhere to be found.'

She glances at the little girl who's hugging her, stroking her head and smiling. 'Grace's staying with Danny?' Rachel nods. 'Supposed to. It's their weekend together. I have an important meeting in an hour and I don't know where to find a babysitter at this time.'

'Mum, I can take care of myself.' Grace protests.

'No. You're too young.'

Not a big fan of a mother-daughter fight, Allegra rolls her eyes and blurts out her willingness to take care of Grace for few hours. 'Are you sure?' Rachel asks as she watches Allegra takes Grace's backpack and puts it in her office.

'No, it's fine. I'm used to babysit Grace back in NJ with Danny.'

Grace is beyond happy and excited. 'Sleep over!' She yells, 'I love sleep over with you.' Allegra laughs and high-fived the intelligent girl and watches her runs into her office.

'Thank you so much, Al.'

'It's not a big deal.' Allegra said, hands in her jeans' pocket.

Rachel reaches in front and hugs her. She pulls away and fishes out her purses and pulls about a couple of bucks. 'Hey, no, don't you there.' Allegra warns. Rachel insists and tries to slip the money in her hands but she refuses.

'No, Rach. It's okay. She's like my own kiddy. It's okay.'

'No, please take it. No it's okay. Please take it, Allegra.'

Allegra laughs and shakes, 'It's okay. We'll just have some home cook or something. Nothing cost much.' She said as she ushers Rachel out of the bullpen.

Rachel obeys and kisses her daughter goodbye and walks to the glass door before stopping her steps.

'Allegra?'

'What?' She replies as she smirks.

'You know Grace hates home cook.'

'I know. Now go, or you'll be late.'

'Are you going to cook?'

Grace asks when Allegra prompts her on the kitchen counter after spending 2 hours back at headquarters.

'Yeah. I'm a good cooker okay.' She grins and pulls out an apron on the hanger.

'So, your Royal Highness Princess of Hawaii Kalakeke Williams, what does milady want for dinner?'

'Kalakeke? Is that Grace in Hawaiian? Wow, how did you know about it?'

'My friend's name is Kalakeke. The meaning is Grace. She's in USN too and she's really proud to be a native Hawaiian.' Allegra said as she bents down at the cabinet and pulls out a pan. 'Since I'm the Royal Princess of Hawaii….' Grace puts her hands on her waist and giggles, 'I want… Ally, are you good with Hawaii foods?'

Allegra laughs and nods, 'Of course I do. I'm born and raised here. Mum have lots of recipes. What do you want me to cook? You're lucky that I did my groceries yesterday so..' She runs to the fridge and opens both side of the door, 'You give me a name and I'll give you a meal, deal?'

Grace laughs and nods.

'Mum loved to make stuffed cabbages and don't tell her, it taste horrible.'

She whispers, guiltily. 'So, Chef Ally, I like beef and seafood, what would you recommend for me?' She adds with a giggle. Allegra bites her bottom lips, thinking.

'Loco Moco.'

'Loco Choco?' Grace asks mouthful.

'No, Loco Moco. My mum always cooked it and it's always been my favourite food.' Allegra replies as she starts gathering her ingredients on the counter , 'It have rice, a patty , fried eggs and gravy and we can add shrimps or chillies or maybe bacon or if we're lucky, we can have fried saimin with it and if we're lucky again, we can go out and grab shave ice and then start our sleepover.' She grins and put her hands up.

'Princess Grace approved.'

Grace laughs and high-fived her.

Danny sighs and continues driving. Next stop, some freaky guy's house.

'Fuck you, McGarrett.'

He yells, slamming his fist on the wheel. He forgot to pick up her daughter today and Rachel is beyond pissed. It was lucky of him that Allegra is willing to take care of his monkey. He owned her.

Allegra, Allegra, Allegra.

He reaches down and grabs his phone. A message from Allegra and a bunch of new tweets from her daughter's twitter. Allegra 's message was simple.

-went out. maybe a bit late. go n grabs something 2 eat first, kay? x

He smiles. He loves how she puts an 'x' in her text. A kiss. Although he wishes it was a real kiss. He proceeds to the Twitter. Okay, stalkerish but he was just being a father. Few nonsense tweets and…wait. Oh she tweeted about her sleep over.

- Ally just called me Royal Princess of Kalakeke Williams. Cool !
- I hate mom's stuffed cabbages.
- Oh, Chef Ally is making me Loco Moco. Or loco motor ?
- Shave ice icy timezz

Danny couldn't help and smiles at a picture of Grace's new tweets. It was Allegra completely silly and didn't know that she was being pictured by Grace, with a streak of red syrup on her nose from her shave ice.

- Ally eats like a dog . ahahaha

He closes the site and dials Allegra's numbers but it got into her voicemail.

'Hey, , it's me Danno. I'll be late. I don't know. Tell her , Danno love me back, okay?'

By the time they got home from, 10:30 on dots, Grace already fall asleep at the backseat.

She parks her car, yawning, tired herself and yanks her belt opens. She slips her arms under butts, wrapping her arms around her body and rests Grace's head on her shoulder.

She locks the car and opens the door and closes it and climbs upstairs. Opening the first room on her left, her own room, she lays the body on the bed, pulling off her shoes and cardigan off and tugs her in the sheets. She notices that her phone is blinking and her first guess was Danny.

Voicemail, she thoughts, unusual.

'Hey, Al. Hey, it's me Danno. I'll be late. I don't know. Tell her , Danno love her. Call me back, okay?'

His voice, husky and deep voice calms her down and she smiles. Allegra bends down and kisses her temple. 'Danno loves you. I love you too.' She whispers and turns on the night light and heads out. She dials Danno's number but it gets into his voicemail. She sighs.

'Dan, it's me. Monkey's down. I think I might pass out of exhaustion right now. I left a key under the mat, okay?'

She starts speaking as she slips a key under the mat while looking around and continues.

'And I might think you're hungry or something so, I have a bit leftover on the table from just now. Just make yourself a home and heat it. If you want too, no pressure. Bye.'

She puts her phone on the small table near the stairs and locks the door.

She kicks her flip flops aside and walks barefoot to the kitchen, fetching herself a glass of wine before walking back upstairs. Her eyes droop down and she settles the glass on the bedside table carefully and slips in beside Grace and falls asleep without changing her clothes.

Half an hour later, being a light sleeper, in dizzy she hears the door creaks open and close. She forces her eyes to open but fails to do so.

'Hey don't force yourself.'

The figure whispers, kissing her cheek and climbing on her side, pressing his figure against his back. She calms down and falls back to sleep in a second.

I'll be safe. I'm safe. I am safe. You're safe.

I'm going to die of exhaustion . Need sleep.
