Steve sat at the outdoor table with Rachel, Grace, Danny and his infamous brother Matt as they all sat down getting ready to have a meal together. From what he could see Emma was a mix of the two of them, she had the same blonde hair as Danny but the same dark eyes as Matt not to mention that she shared the same easy going nature that Matt had and the two of them seemed to share the enjoyment of pushing Danny's buttons. "So this whole family reunion thing is nice Matt but haven't you forgetting two people? Say Emma and Oz." Danny questioned.
"As if I'd forget two of my favourite people in the world, I text Em' five minutes ago and she said that her and the Oz man will be here in mere moments. I'm surprised that you didn't tell her to meet us here." Matt quipped.
"Well Matthew, I figured that fell in your department as you're the one who decided to just up and visit Hawaii." Danny retorted with a forced smile on his face.
"Is it a crime that I want to visit my family? Especially since you somehow convinced my two roommates to move from New York all the way to Hawaii."
"Yeah I heard that, Danny mentioned in passing that Emma and Oz lived with you in New York." Steve said
"After what happened with George, we all thought it was best that Emma and Oz move back home so we could help her get through everything but she wasn't having any of it. She refused to leave until Mr. Amazing over here swept in and managed to convince Emma to move to New York and live with him in the small matter of twenty minutes." Danny said as Rachel and Grace excused themselves to go to the bathroom and Steve could tell that he didn't approve of it despite the fact that he had just done the same thing.
"Your just mad that mom's still mad at you for the fact that both her grandchildren now live here in Hawaii." Matt began before changing the subject. "So how is she and the small man doing? This thing with Olly is unreal; I can't believe she didn't tell any of about this. Mom had to tell you and then I found out from Jenny just before Emma told me she was moving here."
"Matty are you really surprised? That is classic Emma." Danny replied.
"Classic Emma?" Steve questioned.
"When something happens to Emma she won't say anything about it until she's ready, especially traumatic things she keeps things bottled up in that head of hers until it gets too much and it all comes rushing out." Matt began.
"It took her two days after George died before she called our parents to tell them and we have no idea what she was doing in that time. All we know is that she eventually called them sobbing down the phone and hours later we were all there. She kept quiet about Olly being sick for months, then when he died she only told our parents, Matt, Jenny and I all found out later on at different times." Danny continued with a small shake of her head.
"Has she said anything about him?" Matt asked.
"On and off, he was a big part of her life and she's just trying to get on with her life as best she can. But her and Oz seem happy here and I guess that's what's important, but I'm keeping an eye on her anyways." Danny said as Rachel and Grace returned to the table.
"Look there's Aunt Emma and Oz!" Grace said pointing ahead.
Steve turned to see that Emma and Oz were indeed making their way towards them until they stopped momentarily as Emma bent down and whispered something to Oz, the little boy nodded and then they continued making their way towards them. "Well if it isn't my two former roomies!" Matt began as he stood up from his chair.
"Uncle Matty!" Oz cried as he ran into his uncle's waiting arms, watching them Steve couldn't help but smile it reminded him of when he went with Danny to meet Emma and Oz at the airport.
"My… I've missed you buddy, you been a good boy for your mom?" Matt asked and Harry nodded before placing the young boy back on the ground. "Go give Uncle Danny a hug or something, I think he's a bit jealous…"
"Real nice Matt, this is why you don't have kids." Danny pointed out as he his nephew made his way over to him. "Oh, so now you come to me buddy? I thought we had a thing here? But no… as soon as Uncle Matt comes you forget it."
"And where's my hug oh baby sister who feels the need to move across the whole country and leave me alone in New York." Matt began and Emma slowly walked over to her brother and Matt picked her up and spun her around.
"Matty!" Emma squealed.
"You look good Em and you seem happy here." Matt noted as he placed his sister back on the ground.
"I am happy."
After Emma and Harry had finished doing the rounds of greeting everyone the group all sat down and ate. As the meal went on embarrassing family stories soon emerged most of them were about Danny and Emma but the majority were directed towards Emma. "Dan, do you remember winter formal Emma's freshman year of high school?" Matt prompted.
Danny grinned. "Do I ever?"
"No… you can tell anything except for this story, if you love me and are decent brothers and human beings then you will not tell this story." Emma begged as her cheeks flushed pink.
"C'mon Emma, you have to admit that it is pretty funny hands down it is one of the funniest things that has ever happened in the Williams family home other than when Dad's hand got stuck in the turkey." Danny said.
"To you maybe!" Emma retorted. "That was the single most embarrassing thing that the three of you ever did to me and I couldn't even look at Julian Donovan for a whole two years after that incident."
"Now I'm interested." Steve said sitting up in his chair, the three of them interacting we're pretty funny as instead of Emma and Matt ganging up on Danny like he expected it was actually Matt and Danny ganging up on Emma. It was nice to hear their family stories as wild and dysfunctional as most of them could be, Steve could see that they all really loved each other.
"Em either you tell it or I will." Matt teased and Emma stuck her tongue out at him.
"Fine." Emma said as she repositioned the sleeping Harry who had fallen asleep in her lap. "I was fourteen years old, a freshman in high school and I had been asked to the winter formal by the hottest and most popular guy in my grade; Julian Donovan. So on the day of the dance Julian comes to our house to pick me up but my father decides he wants a word with him just to make a few things clear and I don't think much of it… Dad's always been protective of us especially Jenna and I so everything was fine until my moronic brothers decided they want a piece of the action. So they sit themselves either side of Julian whilst dad sits directly in front of him and they educate him on the rules and expectation of dating a Williams daughter."
Steve looked at Danny. "No, you didn't…"
"Oh we did, our dad was doing the whole intimidating dad thing whilst the two of us were threatening to beat him up if he even touched Emma." Danny revealed and all of the adults burst into laughter except Emma.
"It is so not funny! Not only did Julian even hold my hand I did not have my first kiss on what was supposed to be the most important night of my life and every boy in my grade was afraid to even sit next to me in fears that these two knuckleheads would come looking for them!" Emma retorted as she couldn't help but blush, which just made the other laugh some more. He brothers just loved to embarrass her.
