Chapter 10

Soon it was a solid three weeks since the explosion and Chin was on the verge of being discharged. Thankfully he was getting stronger day by day and now he could walk, he couldn't walk very fast or anything but he was getting there slowly but surely. he could stand on his own two feet with only a small walking stick as an aid. The team of nurses, doctors and physiotherapists working with Chin were delighted with their work. They knew how much it meant for Chin to walk again, after all he is a part of the Governor's elite Task Force so he needs to be fit and healthy to maintain his place in the task force. But Chin knew deep down that even if he never got the hang of walking again he would always be a member of 5-0. Steve wouldn't just throw him away like that.

That thought made Chin think how lucky he is. After all according to Duke, Steve was the one who saved nearly everybody in the task force. He considered Steve to be a hero as he put his own life on the line to save others and he succeeded greatly but unfortunately now they don't know if Steve himself would make it and that thought hurt Chin as he knew that Steve went back into the burning HQ to rescue him when most of the building collapsed on top of them.

Chin was confident that Steve was going to pull through and yesterday he found out from Kono that Danny was awake and talking. Chin had become very close with his boss, they were Ohana and Steve was there when he needed them the most like when Malia died or when his Uncle was in deep with the CIA.
Then he found out about Catherine. Thankfully according to Catherine's good friend Kono she was improving steadily. She obviously needed time for her lungs to get over the traumatic experience of a full respiratory failure so she was still on a ventilator but her doctors were confident they would be able to take her off it soon. She was very like Steve, Chin thought, she was a fighter and thankfully it paid off in the end.

Chin was getting regular updates from Kono on the teams conditions as he can't really get up and visit them himself as he needs to build up muscle strength in order for him to walk again. As for Steve, the past three weeks were tough! He developed an infection that could of taken his life but thankfully Steve proved the doctors wrong once again. He pulled through and thankfully the infection has since cleared up but they still have him on a mild antibiotic just to make sure the infection does not return because if it does they weren't sure Steve's body could fight it. Steve was human after all!

"...Morning.." Chin heard and looked towards the door to see who was joining him. It was Kono.

"...Oh hey.." Chin said and directed his gaze out the window once again

"Okay don't look too excited to see me!" Kono joked which earned a slight giggle off Chin.

"...It's good to see you smiling again!" Kono said genuinely

Chin just smiled "...Feels good too!...How's Danny doin'?" Chin asked immediately

"I haven't seen him yet today, but last night he seemed good and almost begging the doctors can he leave! Grace is coming in to visit today I think..." Kono informed Chin

"Good, might be just what Danny needs at the moment!" Chin said also taking note of Kono's plastic bag that she had in her hand

"Hey..uhm, what'cha got there?" Chin asked

Kono had a wide smile on her face before pulling out a carton full of Chin's favorite snacks "..Do not tell anyone but I got Coco-Puffs!" Kono smiled

Chin could not have been happier to see something so simple like Coco-Puffs. Just what he needed! "Aww Kono thank you" he said, he just loved those heavenly balls of tasty Coco!

"I knew it would make you happy!" Kono said smiling

Chin only nodded, not because he didn't want to talk but because he had half his mouth stuffed with the chocolaty heaven.
When he eventually swallowed he felt very grateful
"Thank you Kono! I don't know what I would do without you!" he said stuffing his mouth once more

Kono giggled "It's only Coco-Puffs cuz, no need to get all sentimental about things!" Kono said punching Chin's upper arm playfully

"You know it's not just the coco-puffs, you are the best cousin anybody could ask for!" Chin admitted

"I'm gonna hold you to that.." Kono said and smiled happily as she watched Chin stuff his mouth one more time.
She felt the exact same way, he was also the best cousin she could ever ask for!

The day seemed to slip away and soon it was evening again. It was quiet is Steve's room apart from the beeping of the heart monitors and the slight whoosh of the ventilator. Steve looked a lot better, the bulky bandage on his forehead was replaced with a smaller one and his heart rate seemed to be even and steady.

However it wasn't all good his lips had a blue tinge to them and he was as pale as a ghost. Danny was allowed to visit Steve for half an hour max during the evening and Danny was beginning to take mental notes on his friends condition. It was clear to Danny that his friend was still fighting off the lethal infection which could have and still could take the life of his partner. But Steve was a fighter and Danny had to think positive.

It had been a hectic three weeks, Steve's heart had stopped 3 times yet he pulled through every time! He couldn't give up now, Danny wouldn't let him. Apart from Steve Danny was excited to see his daughter Grace when she came around after dinnertime this evening. That is less then an hour away! It has been way too long since Danny saw Grace last, 3 weeks, he had never been away from her for so long! And he missed her like hell! So much so that one night he cried himself to sleep like a baby after getting off the phone with her to say goodnight. But himself and Rachel both agreed not to bring her up to the hospital earlier as Danny was in a bad shape and that would only upset Grace.

"...Grace is coming round this evening, what am I going to say when she asks about Uncle Steve huh?" Danny asked an unconscious Steve, fully convinced that he could hear him

"I have been thinking and I think I am going to ask the nurses and doctors here to keep a room reserved for the five-0 team since one of us always seem to end up in this hellhole! Well it's more then likely gonna be you ..again! The invincible Navy SEAL, done tours in Kapul, Iraq and yet you end up here...this proves one thing Steve...this proves that you are human after all, yay!" Danny said as he did a small happy dance in his wheelchair

"You are human after all" Danny sighed sadly "Look I usually don't go all soft when it comes to situations like this but..." Danny took Steve's hot and clammy hand in his "..but you need to pull through, you need to fight like you have never fought before..if not for me but for Grace..you can't leave her! We have grown very close over the years and no matter how much we bicker about who is driving my car or not and arguing about some crazy decisions you make without even consulting the team first you have to know Steve that me, and the rest of the team would do anything for you, ok, and I would do anything to protect you because that is what partners are for! And the last thing I want to see is for you to get hurt! Like I said...I have your back, always!" Danny said

That is when the nurse entered "Danny time's up we'r going to have to bring you back to your room now..i'm sorry!" The nurse said

"That's okay I said what I needed to say" Danny turned back to Steve "Just fight ya goof!" Danny said before leaving

As Danny entered his room his smile grew as his ex-wife and his beautiful, magnificent daughter were standing in front of him waiting patiently. Grace was so excited to see Danny as she giggled happily but Rachel said to wait until Danny was in bed to give him a hug.

Danny got settled in the bed, the nurse took his vitals and left.

"C'mere monkey!" Danny said his arms wide open as Grace came barreling towards him. Danny engulfed his little girl in a massive bear like hug. Rachel only laughed in the background happy to see her daughter and her ex-husband, Grace's dad reunited again.

Danny didn't want to let go, he closed his eyes momentarily as he took in the fruity scent off his daughter's hair, god he missed her!
"Danno, your squashing me!" Grace said laughing and Danny immediately released her

"Sorry monkey, I just missed you too much y'ano.." Danny said his hand slight wrapped around her shoulder

"I missed you too Danno.." Grace said "Are you all better now?" Grace asked

"Uhmm..ya I guess, Danno's still a little bit tired but I always got time for my little girl!" Danny said as he kissed her forehead

"Where's Uncle Steve?" Grace asked the dreaded question. Danny looked at Rachel hoping she would step in and intervene, thankfully she did when she saw Danny's desperate look

"-Gracie Uncle Steve was in the accident I was telling you about with Danno, he is in the hospital aswell and...he is very sick but the doctors and nurses are taking good care of him!" Rachel said gently

"Is he going to be oka-" Grace was interrupted by Danny

"-Is he going to be okay?! Let me tell you something, Uncle Steve is going to be fine I promise, he is superSEAL remember?" Danny said

Grace only nodded in response as Danny gave her shoulder a supportive squeeze. Danny looked at Rachel who had an unsure look on her face, she knew it was possible Steve lost this battle and then what would Danny do, he promised Grace that he would survive and if he didn't that would crush Grace even more!

Grace pulled out a piece of paper that was folded neatly in her pocket

"We had Arts&Crafts in school today, I drew this for you." Grace said showing Danny the colouful picture. It was of her and Danny in the hospital except Danny was the only one in the hospital bed. In neat handwriting above the picture it read 'Get well soon Danno'. It nearly brought a tear to Danny's eyes but he managed to fight them back, he couldn't cry in front of his daughter, that was not happening

"Open it up!" Grace insisted

Danny flipped open the card and it read; "Get well soon Danno...love you forever..Grace" that did bring a tear to Danny's eye as it trickled down his face but thankfully Grace didn't notice.

"And then I came up with this idea..look I signed it and so did all my friends in school...they all want you to get better!" Grace said

Danny was touched as he looked at all the other names written on the opposite side of the card "Wow, you are popular monkey!" Danny said, Grace laughed

They all laughed the evening away, but even in the company of the one little individual that mattered the most to him in the entire world, the thought of Steve fighting for his life still lingered painfully in the back of his mind
