Walking up the corridor to Steve's room, Danny frowned as he saw Sam rushing out and quickly made his way up. "Sam…" He called before he stopped in front of her, seeing how upset she was he frowned before looking to the room. Seeing Steve awake he then looked to his sister. These were not happy tears. "Sam what happened?" He asked resting his hands on her shoulders.
"He doesn't know who I am." Sam blubbered as she looked to him. "He doesn't remember me." She whispered trying not to cry anymore but the tears just fell. She was devastated.
Danny frowned as he pulled his sister to him and hugged her tightly before looking to her. "Look…go home. Go gather up some things…wedding albums…pictures…anything that might help him jog his memory. I'll go talk to him." He told her with a sigh before bringing her in for another hug. "We will fix this Sam I promise." He whispered to her.
Sam nodded a little before she wiped her eyes a little before she looked to him. "How could he forget?" She whispered looking to him.
"He won't forget forever…we will fix this." He told her before sighing. "Now go. The kids are fine, just go home and get some things for him." He told her as he urged her on to leave.
Reluctantly leaving, Sam headed down the corridor. She couldn't believe that Steve had forgotten about her! How much did he actually remember? Sighing to herself she wiped her eyes and headed down to the truck. This was not how she pictured him waking up.
Sighing to himself, Danny ran his fingers through his hair before he went into Steve's room. Going in he headed over to the bed and stood at the end and looked to him. "Do you know who I am?" He asked looking to him.
Steve frowned a little as he looked to him. "Of course I know who you are Danny, why wouldn't I know who you are?"
Danny nodded a little. So he had some memory. "Okay so you can remember the guy who gave you half his liver but you cannot remember your own wife?" He questioned looking to him.
Steve frowned more and shook his head a little looking to him. "Wife? What are you talking about Danny?"
"That girl that was just in here? She's my sister…and your wife…mother of your two children. How could you possibly forget her?" He asked with a sigh. "You need to remember Steve…" He told him.
Listening to Danny, Steve sighed and gave a slight shrug. "I'm sorry…I don't remember her." He paused and frowned. "Kids? I have kids?"
Danny sighed and nodded. "Yes. Two. Alfie and Lily, who are missing their dad very much and want him to come home as much as their mother does." He mumbled before looking to him. "What's the last thing you remember Steve?" He asked curiously to him.
"The accident." He replied looking to him. "Where I was shot and you had to donate half your liver…" He mumbled looking to him.
Danny sighed as he moved and sat down on the chair next to his bed. "That's been years Steve…I mean you and Sam have been together the best part of four years now…Alfie haven't long turned two years old and Lily is nine months old…you remember nothing of the last four years?" He asked looking to him.
Steve thought but he sighed and shook his head as he looked to him. "I don't I'm sorry…" He frowned glancing around a little before looking back to Danny. "Why am I in the hospital?" He asked him. "What happened to me?"
Danny looked to him. "You were attacked and beaten…there was an incident…Sam was hurt and you were going undercover to catch these guys because they had been targeting cops…the man who shot Sam…his sister was Sam's friend until Sam ended up in a coma because of her…" He paused looking to him. "Any of this ringing a bell?"
Steve shook his head. "No…"
"Don't worry Sam has gone home to get your wedding photos and any other photos to try and jog your memory…"
"I feel so guilty." He admitted looking to him. "I can't even remember my own wife and kids…"
"Steve…you had a severe head injury…memory loss was probably to be expected…Sam's just taking it hard because she loves you so much…she's been a mess without you Steve. The sooner we get your memory back the sooner I get my happy, mouthy sister back."
"I really married your sister?" Steve asked looking to him.
"You did and yes I was very pissed when I found out you two were together but you're good for her…you're good for each other. You're both very happy together."
"What are the kids like?" He asked curiously to him.
Danny smiled. "They are….the most beautiful and adorable children you could ever have…here let me show you." He mused as he took out his phone and got to his feet and showed him some pictures. "So this is you…obviously and Alfie when he was first born, Sam had to have an emergency section and this is him now." He mused showing Steve his son. "And this…" He began scrolling through more pictures. "Is Lily when she was born…" He mused showing him the photo of the four of them when Alfie came to see his baby sister for the first time. "And this is her now." He mused showing him a picture of Alfie and Lily hugging each other and grinning to have their picture taken.
"They're beautiful…" Steve commented with a soft smile.
"And they're yours." He commented with a smile. "Your children that you love and adore and they love and adore you."
Steve smiled a little before looking up as the doctor came in. "Mr McGarrett. Nice to see you awake." He mused going over to the bed.
"Yeah just one problem doc." Danny commented looking to him.
The doctor frowned a little looking to Danny. "What's that?"
"He does not remember the last four years…mainly the fact that he has a wife and two children…"
The doctor sighed. "Memory loss can be very common with head injuries. Most of the time they are a short term thing and memory returns gradually over the weeks."
"But to forget the last four years?" Sighed Danny before he looked to his friend. "Don't worry we will jog that memory for you." He mused with a smile to him.
"Once we do the scan we will have a better idea of where we stand and what we can do to help with the recovery process. We're going to take Steve for his scan now while he is freshly awake." The doctor told him as they took the bed off the brakes and wheeled him out of the room. "We will be about an hour." He told Danny looking to him with a smile before continuing to walk out.
Danny nodded to the doctor before he sighed a little and relaxed back in the chair briefly before he jumped to his feet and moved his hands into his pockets as he then headed out, seeing Sam coming back he smiled to her. "They've taken him for a scan. Said they would be about an hour."
Sam nodded a little before looking to him. "Did he know who you were?" She asked.
Danny sighed and nodded a little to her. "He did. He said the last thing he remembers was roughly about when I gave him half my liver…that's going on about…well it was about a year before you arrive on the Island so going on five or six years."
Sam's mouth dropped a little. "What?" She shook her head. "How could he not remember me or the kids?" Sam asked getting upset again. "What am I supposed to tell the kids?"
Sighing, Danny pulled her to him and hugged her tightly. "Hey don't over think it okay? The doctor said that memory loss can be common with people who suffer head injuries. It will be short term…the scan will tell the doctors how bad everything is." He whispered to her as he gently rubbed her back. "He will get through this Sam" He promised as he looked to her.
Sam nodded a little and sighed as she quickly wiped her eyes and took a breath. She needed to get her act together.
"I've shown him the kids…hopefully it'll start to jog his memory a bit…I showed him the one when Lily was born and I bought Alfie in and had the four of your together…the next couple of weeks we can only pray and wait that slowly he will start to remember. Hopefully when he sees the photos things will start to fall into place for him." He smiled. "He said the kids were beautiful…"
Sam laughed a little. "So he should think so they're his bloody kids." She rubbed her forehead a little and looked to her brother and smiled. "Thank you."
Danny frowned. "Why are you thanking me?"
"For being here for me. For being my rock while Steve can't."
"Sam you are my baby sister. I'm always going to be here for you no matter what. Whenever you need me I'm only a phone call away…unless it's like three in the morning and I'm sleeping then you have to wait till morning." He mused with a smile to her.
Sam couldn't help but laugh as she shook her head and smiled to him as she moved her arms around him and hugged him tightly. "I don't know what I'd do if I didn't have you here."
Danny smiled hugging her back. He did cherish these moments he had with his sister because they were rare. They were normally down each other's throats or disagreeing about something but their relationship had really changed when she came to the Island. Right now they just had to focus on getting Steve better and back to normal. They could do it, they just had to be patient and do this step by step.
