-Howdy- Ho Neighbors! Hawaii Five 0 is doing a good job starting their season. The only thing I don't like is that…they made Kono STUPID! (No offence to her)

-Thanks for all the reviews!

- DISCLAIMER: If I owned them Danny would be with Rachel, Kono would have her badge, and they would be a happy Ohana again

"What makes sense?"

Steve and Danny whirled around coming face to face with none other than Chin Ho Kelly.

Danny looked at Steve, who continued to stare at Chin. Chin looked at the two men in confusion. He had forgotten some of the paperwork from a previous case, when he heard yelling. He grabbed his gun and quietly walked to the back offices, he then realized that it was just Danny yelling. He put his gun back in his holster and shook his head as he continued to make his way to Steve's office. As he got closer the words started to come clearer.

"You dumbo! When you get a girl pregnant, a girl that you love pregnant you tell her!"

He heard Danny shout. Chin stopped dead in his tracks when he registered what Danny said. Steve got someone pregnant, he thought. This cannot be good. The big SEAL man is going to turn softy. They continued to talk unaware of Chin listening. He heard Danny shout at Steve again.

"Well, so you want her to think that you just knocked her up and now you're doing the respectable thing? You have to let her know that you want to do the respectable thing!"

Danny's got brains after all, Chin thought. Looks like our super seal can do everything except relationships. Chin became too curious for his own good and decided to walk in. He decided to play dumb, thinking that he could get more information if they started from the beginning. And that's how they ended up with a speechless shouter, a bowled over boss, and a confused Chin. Chin was the first to speak.

"I said, what makes sense?"

Steve tried to speak but it came out a little jumbled.

"I, well…you see…It just…yeah, uh… huh?"

Chin let out a breathy chuckle as he closed the door behind him. He walked up to Steve and patted him on his shoulder.

"Don't be so nervous, brah."

"Me? Nervous? Chin I…"

"Look, I know, I heard you and Danny talking or rather shouting"

Danny's mouth formed a perfect circle as he made a small noise. Steve didn't look any better than Danny. His eyes got real big and he kept opening and closing his mouth inaudibly. Danny spoke slowly to Chin.

"And you're okay with that"

"Why wouldn't I be? I mean you're happy right Steve?"

Steve shook his head slightly and looked at Chin cautiously. Danny started shaking his head back in forth in disbelief, before he spoke.

"I thought for sure you were going to beat the crap out of him."

"Why would I do that?"

"Well, you're very protective, I guess."

"I'm a little confused; you thought I would beat McGarrett up because he got his girlfriend pregnant?"

"Well, yeah."

Steve continued to stand still as he looked at Chin with the same large eyes he had when Chin first came in.

"Look its Steve's life, not mine. I don't know why you'd think that I'd hurt him, but, what Steve does in his own time is his business"

"What about Kono?" Danny asked.

"What about her? Oh, you mean her little crush on Steve, I'm sure she will be fine, thanks."

Steve and Danny looked at each other. If their face wasn't screwed up before it sure was now. They passed glances between each other and Chin. They communicated silently with raised eyebrows and pursed lips. He doesn't know I got Kono pregnant. Should I tell him? He's going to kill me if he finds out I lied to him. Oh, gosh, what do I do? Steve looked at Danny as Danny's face expressed the same thoughts Steve's did. Chin continued to speak to Steve.

"Look, brah if you need anything or anybody to talk to, just give me a ring. See ya, Danny."

Danny managed a goodbye, while all Steve gave was a small wave. They watched Chin walk away in silence. They looked at each once Chin disappeared from headquarters.

"I don't know if I should be happy that I'm still breathing or to be scared of what he's going to do when he finds out the truth." Steve said.

Danny looked toward the ceiling as if the answers could be found there. He looked at Steve and began moving his mouth, but no words came. He shrugged his shoulders several times as he made his way to the door.

"I'm going home, to rest my head. Were not even on a case and I feel like everything just went to…"

Steve couldn't make out the rest for Danny had let the door close behind him. To Steve it looked like he was still talking when he reached the double doors to lead out. Steve cut the lights out before also walking out. The whole ride home he contemplated on what he should do. He knew he would have to tell Kono. Suddenly he remembered the conversation Chin had walked in on. Great, he thought, it's like a double edge sword. I can tell Kono that I'm in love with her after only three months and she might freak and I need to tell her I practically lied to Chin's face and she will freak. I guess her freaking out is a given. He pulled up in his driveway and wasn't surprised when he saw Kono's car already there. He put his truck in park and sat there for a few minutes thinking of how he might start the conversation. It's not like he can just come right out and say it. He got out and started making his way to the door. He paused when he reached the door. Who knew that he would ever be afraid to go in his own house. He rubbed his face with his hands roughly, trying to prepare himself.

"Steve, what are you doing?"

Steve turned and saw Kono standing on his back porch peeking out from the side of the house. Is sneaking up on me part of their genes? I mean come on; it can't be a coincidence that the two cousins' manage to creep up on me. I just can't get a break can I? Steve walked up to Kono and greeted her.

"Nothing, not important… Hey."

"Hi"

Kono reached up and pulled Steve down for a peck. He grabbed his hand and pulled him to the porch swing. They sat down and started swinging in silence. Steve ran small circles over the back of her hand. She looked at him curiously, unsure of what was wrong.

"Steve, are you o.k.?

"Yeah, yeah I am."

"I'm not so sure you know the meaning of the word o.k."

Steve chuckled a little before placing a small kiss to her hand.

"I just have a lot on my mind that's all."

"Tell me"

Kono turned to him and situated herself so she could face him. Looking intently at him she waited for him to start.

"Kono…"

"What? I thought things were good now. I thought we were good. Did I do something?"

Kono was starting to get scared. She saw the caution in his eyes. All she could think was that he changed his mind about her. About the baby. Steve cut her thoughts off with force.

"Kono, things are good, we're good. And, well you did do something…"

"Oh, crap! I swear whatever I did I'm sorry. Look I'm sure I can fix it, honest. I always screw things up. I'm so sorry!"

Tears started to swell in her eyes. Steve jumped in quickly, trying to stop her.

"Kono, Kono, babe let me finish, geez you didn't do anything."

"But you just said…" Kono sniffed.

"I meant you didn't do anything wrong, in fact you did something the exact opposite."

Kono's eyes dried instantly. She smiled brightly and patted Steve's knee for him to continue. Steve was trying to figure out what just happened. She was on the verge of tears two seconds ago and now she looks like she just won the lottery. If this is any indication of what her hormones are going to be like, than he is in serious trouble.

"Uh, well, why don't we move to some where more comfortable, like, uh, the hammock."

Kono jumped up and bounced over to the large swing. They fell simultaneously into the swing together. Steve wrapped his arm around Kono and pulled her close to him.

"I'm comfortable, are you?

"Yeah"

"Then tell me what's eating at you"

"This may be cliché, but what do you want first good news or bad news. Well, actually they both could be bad depends on how you take it."

Kono thought for a moment, wondering what was up. Steve was taking large ragged breaths. It was obviously bothering him, a lot.

"You pick"

"O.k., we've been going out what three months?"

"Two months, eighteen days…seven hours, and…48 seconds?"

"You mean nineteen days"

Kono looked up from her watch and smiled at him with admiration.

"Yeah, I guess so; men don't generally remember things like that"

"I can't help it. I remember everything from the day I met you to right now. Kono, I've never, never, done this with a girl."

"What?"

"That came out wrong…What I meant was I never remember anything down to the second. Important things or dates come to me when it rolls around, but I'm…I…you're special to me. Like really special. I've never felt like this with a girl before. I think…well, I know, I just don't want you to freak out."

"What is it?"

"I...I'm in love with you. I think I have been for awhile now."

Kono didn't let him continue she leaned over and kissed him. Steve was a little confused; he thought Kono would be shocked by his revelation. Maybe Danny was right, a girl wants to hear things like that. There's a first time for everything, even for Danny. Kono pulled her lips from his lips, but her face barely moved. Steve could feel her hot breath on his lips. She pecked him once more before laying her head in the crook of his elbow.

"I know, I love you too"

Steve looked down at her with surprised eyes.

"You knew?"

"You told me once, I think that you thought I was asleep when you said it, but, yeah I know"

"Why didn't you tell me!"

"Call me a romantic, or impractical, whatever, I just wanted you to say it when you knew I was listening."

"Do you know what kind of torture I went through trying think of ways to ease it in?"

Kono laughed and started kissing his neck.

"I'll… make it… up… to you…I promise"

She said between kisses. Steve let out a low rumble when she sucked on his pulse. Oh, how he loved it when she did that. His thoughts started to come in parts, when suddenly she pulled back, leaving him disappointed. His low rumble turned into loud growl, as he opened his eyes. Kono giggled behind her smile. She wouldn't admit to him, but she loved it when he got animalistic. They laid there at ease looking at each other, when Kono remembered that Steve still had one more thing to tell her.

"What's the bad news?"

"What?"

"There were two things you wanted to tell me. You already told me that you loved me"

She paused to kiss him. Steve answered her with her lips still on his, making it come out muffled.

"And I do"

They pulled apart and smiled. Apparently still in pure delight that it had been received by both parties.

"So, what's the second thing?"

Steve looked conflicted as if torn from knowing what he knew. He looked at her and sighed. Kono tried looking into his eyes, but he kept then well hidden bylooking at their intertwined fingers.

"Danny came and talked to me today after work"

"Steve, we knew this would happen. Did he say something about us...or me?"

"No! He was glad that we were happy just a bit confused, that's all."

"Well, if things are patched up with you and Danny, then what's wrong?"

"While Danny and I were talking Chin came in"

Kono gasped softly. No wonder he is so upset, she thought.

"Does he know? Steve?"

Her voice became anxious with every syllable. Steve looked down again. He distracted himself by playing with the ring on her middle finger. She used her other hand to clamp around his fidgeting one. When he continued to look down, she reached for his chin and tilted his eyes to hers. She asked more calmly, hoping she sound convincing enough.

"Does he know?"
"Yes…and no"

Kono's eye's snapped to confusion.

"What do you mean yes and no? He either knows or he doesn't"

"He heard me and Danny talking and well…he knows my girlfriend is pregnant. He just doesn't know that you're my girlfriend."

"So let me get this straight. Chin came in hearing that your girlfriend is pregnant. But he doesn't know that I'm pregnant. So you and Danny decided to be stupid and not tell him! Chin is going around thinking that you have a girlfriend, who isn't me, is pregnant. So in the end, Chin doesn't know squat, Danny knows too much, and you, oh you, you know everything you just don't have the brain to prove it!"

Steve looked like a lost puppy wishing someone would point him the right direction. How do I respond to this? Should I apologize, defend myself, run? Apologize! That's what I'll do! And she said I don't have brains. Ha!

"I'm sorry, Kono.

Kono wasn't prepared for that. She expected him to act like all men do and defend his pride. She saw his lips moving so she stopped her train of thought. She started registering his words about mid sentence.

"…don't know what I was thinking. I guess I was scared. I wanted us to tell him together at the right time. There probably won't ever be a right time…Kono? Kono are you listening? I said I'm going to set things straight. You tell me how I should tell him. You have known him a little longer then I have."

"We should do it together, like you said"

Steve's head was spinning. Confusion, anger, happiness, loving Kono practically covered every emotion there was.

"I'm sorry I got so upset, Steve."

"I think we've both apologized far too much in such a short amount of time."

"I agree"

She snuggled closer to his chest. She snaked her up around his neck. He played with her hair as she played with the collar of his shirt. The way he moved his fingers felt oddly familiar. She looked down at her hair spread out on her shoulder. She flipped over laid across his chest.

"Where did you learn to braid?"

"I learned a lot of things from the NAVY but there are some things that Mary taught that wouldn't hold a candle to them."

Silence passed between once more.

"What exactly did you and Danny talk about?"

"You, me, and us"

"Well what exactly did he say about you me and us?"

Steve chuckled before answering.

"He told me that I should tell you how much I love you."

She crawled up and kissed her way to his lips.

"Remind me to thank him"

Steve growled and pulled her completely on top of him.

"Enough about Danny, I have some things to say to you myself"

-What did you think? Did you like Chin's POV?

-I'm trying to think of a nickname that can give the baby. Got any ideas?

-I welcome suggestions, opinions, and criticism with open arms.
