Here is the last chapter. I hope you enjoyed the story. I will be getting to all your reviews. I am just trying to get at least one update per story that I have been posting at the moment. Now it is time to get on with the story.

Steve lay on his stomach, on the hospital bed and unable to move. His face was angled towards the door. He couldn't get a visual on Trevor and that made him nervous.

As soon as the door opened Trevor turned with a gun in his hand. He wasn't fast enough. Gun shots echoed around the room, and then the ward. Trevor fell to the ground in a heap.

Chin rushed to Steve's side and covered his naked body with a blanket. He hated to see his friend this way. He had never seen Steve seem so vulnerable.

'Steve, are you okay?' Chin frowned when there was no answer. The only reaction he actually got was the blinking of his eyes. Chin had seen this in murder cases. 'Get a doctor in here, he's been drugged.' Then he looked around and turned to Hotch. 'Where's Danny?'

Steve's heart started to pound, now he was actually terrified. He had thought Danny had come with them. That looked like it wasn't the case. What did Trevor do to his partner?

Derek heard and rushed to the stairwell that is where Chin had said Danny went. Hotch walked over to Steve. He felt as if he had to say something to ease the worry. It was weird because if the two men hadn't argued they might have caught the killer, or Trevor might have murdered his friend.

'Danny will be fine. I know it. He has a lot to live for, just like you do.' Hotch saw the confusion in the SEAL's eyes. 'You're going to survive and live for each other.' He hoped that Steve understood what he meant.

That was when they heard Derek's voice ring out. 'We need a doctor and a stretcher here NOW!'

'I'll go and find out what's going on.' Hotch told Steve. 'I'll update you when I know something and when the doctor his finished with you.'

Steve watched as Hotch nodded to his doctor on the way out. He wished that he could talk. He wanted to see Danny and find out what the hell was going on. Steve tried not to dwell on the fact he couldn't move. He knew that drugs did this, but it didn't stop him from being afraid that it would become permanent. Steve needed Danny and the rest of his ohana.

Hotch stood at the door to the stairwell and watched as Danny was moved. His neck was in a brace and he body immobilised. With the blood going down the stairs, it was obvious that he'd been pushed. He wished that Danny was conscious so he could find out what exactly happened. They could guess with the information they had at hand, but he would prefer it be confirmed that it was Trevor and not someone else. He'd had stranger cases, a lot stranger. Danny and Steve really deserved happiness together, especially after everything that had happened recently. At least Trevor was dead. The rapist serial killers were both dead. All those unsolved cases on the mainland could be closed. The families could get some kind of closure, and not look at strangers wondering if they had done it. The general population could breathe and sleep easier knowing that one more bad guy had been taken off the streets permanently. This family of monsters would no longer be bothering anyone.

Steve sat on is bed patiently. He finally could talk, and walk around. When he realised he could move his little finger, Steve had been over the moon. He had been under close supervision all night. This was due to the fact he had just been attacked in the hospital. They wanted to make sure that never happened again. Steve was also unable to move, or to tell anyone if anything was wrong. Someone checked in on him on a regular basis. They had also worked out a code. One blink was for yes, and two for no. At times, it could take a little while to get to the route of what Steve was saying, but if worked for them. The nurses and doctors who checked in on him would only ask him yes or no questions. During some of the nurse's breaks, they had started to write down what sort of questions they would need to ask. It was put on a piece of paper with the date, time and signature. It was added to all the medical information that was on a clipboard and attached to the bottom of his bed.

Now Steve was fine he was waiting for the doctor to turn up so he could get signed out of here. As soon as that was done, he would be going to visit Danny. Hotch had been in earlier and they had talked. Steve finally found out why the two men ended up in bed together. There was so much miscommunication and both he and Danny had hidden how they felt about the other. He had nearly driven them apart. When Danny was awake and able the two of them were going to have a very long talk, and then he was going to kiss him. The first of many he hoped.

The door opened and Steve looked up finally the doctor was here, but it wasn't, it was Catherine. She had tears that fell down her cheeks. She wiped them away as she moved closer to him. Catherine then hugged him tightly.

'I was so worried about you.' She whispered as she pulled away.

'Thank you for helping Danny when he called. It couldn't have been easy for you.' Steve had been told everything that had happened. Between Five-0 and the BAU, he had someone with him all night. He couldn't defend himself; they knew it would make him feel a litter better. They were right it did. Steve would tell them all that when he saw them next.

'What else could I have done? I love you Steve and no matter what you say or do. No matter who you end up with that fact isn't going to change.' She watched as Steve went to answer her. 'I'm not going to try and beg you to come back to me. I've got too much self-respect to beg and plead with a man who doesn't love me. Not in the way that I love him. I would never want you to pretend you had feelings for me that didn't exist. I just had to check on you. To see you with my own eyes and confirm that you were, in fact, okay.'

'I'm fine Cath. I am sorry; I had wished that I loved you that way. I had tried, I thought maybe the feelings that I had would grow into that. I do hope that you will find someone who really is worthy of you.' Steve had never wanted to hurt her. They had been friends for a very long time. If Danny hadn't barged into his life, he would have stayed with her thinking it was love. In the end, they would have hated each other, and been miserable.

'I thought I had. I think I'm going to be a little more cautious next time. I want it all, I need to make sure they want it all as well before I commit completely. I hope Danny will be okay. Send me a text when you know. That is a one off. I know I'm here, but it still hurts too much. I can't be your go to girl, not at the moment. It wouldn't be fair to me to keep using me like that. I hope one day I can get past this hurt and anger that we can work our way to becoming friends again.

'Of course Cath and I hope that too.' Steve just stared at the door after she left. He hated the fact he hurt her, but he had been truthful. He should have been truthful the day he realised she felt more for him that he did for her.

The door opened again, he desperately hoped it wasn't someone else who was angry with him. He just wanted to see Danny. This time it was the doctor. She was smiling, so Steve hoped that it meant good news for him getting discharged.

'Good morning Lt Commander.' Dr Kelani nodded as she walked over to him; she checked her notes while she was doing that.

Danny, please wake up.' Steve whispered as he held onto his partner's hand. He would give anything to hear a rant right now.

Grace and Rachel had been to visit. You could see by Rachel's face that divorcing Danny didn't stop the worry, or that lost feeling, or the anger and wanting someone to pay. Grace had wanted to stay and be with her Uncle Steve. He remembered her cute little face looking so earnest when she said that she had been worried about him. Grace also believed after everything that had happened, and that he shouldn't be alone. She also thought that she should be the one to take care of him. After all, they were ohana.

At that point, Rachel had a confused look on her face. Chin had popped in, and then taken Grace to get something to drink. Steve had no idea what it was until she started talking to Danny's unconscious form.

'Why does our daughter prefer her Uncle Steve to her stepfather?' As soon as Steve heard this he left to join Chin and Grace. It was obviously something private. As soon as he stepped outside his legs froze and he continued to listen. 'Why does she prefer to go swimming and not horse riding? Oh, Danny when did our daughter become yours and the Commander's, and Five-0 became part of ohana more so than Stan? I seem to be driving her away? She has changed so much, and so has our relationship, since I was going to take her to Las Vegas. How do I get to win my girl back?'

Steve walked back into the room. 'She will always be your daughter. You're her mom, and that is something special.'

Rachel turned to look at him. 'Thank you Commander.'

'It's Steve.' He walked over to a chair and sat down.

'Rachel.' She glanced at Danny and then back to Steve. 'Why have things changed?'

'They are always going to she's getting older.' Steve stared at her, as he tried to figure out how to phrase something.

'What is it?' Rachel asked.

'There are some things I want to explain. You won't like them, and I don't want you to get angry at Grace, Danny or me.'

'I will obviously do my best Steve. I won't lie to you and say yes. I have no idea what you are going to telling me.'

Steve was grateful that she was being honest. 'Grace was always upset and angry that you would take away Danny's days when you were angry with him. She missed her dad, because you were being petty. The Las Vegas thing was because you were making her move again away from the people she loved. Grace also knew that when this job was finished he could be transferred elsewhere. She told us that if she had to move there was no point in making friends, or another ohana as she would lose them.' He hated to say these things to her. 'From my point of view Danny moved to a place he hates, and is willing to stay here for her. There are plenty of jobs Stan could take around Hawaii but he didn't, why? When it comes to Stan, Graces does love him, and she knows he loves her, but he finds it hard to show her. Grace knows she can run and jump into my arms. I will stop everything to talk to her, and so will Danny. It's up to you if you do anything about what I tell you. You could actually talk to Grace and ask her? She would be honest with you.'

Steve walked out and join Chin, Grace and now Kono all drinking cold drinks. He had been thrilled when he heard that Grace cared for him. It was true that Five-0 was a family and that little girl was a part of it.

All the others had gone, and Steve was alone with Danny. He had closed his eyes and thought about his family. He thought about Gracie and Danny, and the three of them living together permanently. That was when heard a groan from the bed, and his diminutive partner.

'That's it Danny, please open those gorgeous baby blue eyes.' He hoped that there were no gaps in his partner's memory, or that he had lost it. It could happen, and knowing the way their luck was going to would happen now.

Steve pressed the call button, and then he moved back as the medical personnel rushed in to check him over.

Danny didn't need to spend much time in hospital after he woke up. Nothing had come back on any of the tests and his reactions were normal. They had kept him in just as a precaution. Steve insisted that Danny come and stay with him for the few days that they had off.

Danny agreed quickly, he wasn't ready to have Steve out of his site for long periods of time. Every time he closed his eyes he saw his partner laid out with blood seeping out of the cuts that Trevor had made.

Hotch and the other members of the BAU had left before Danny woke up. They had been called out on an emergency case. The killer was going to strike in 24 hrs. Steve could see the frustration in their faces. They hated the fact that the police departments left it to the last minute to call them in. Then if they didn't solve it, and another body turned up they were the ones to blame.

Danny had hoped things would change between the two of them when they got back to Steve's place. It hadn't. Here they were sitting out on the lanai drinking beer and staring out at the ocean. They were also ignoring the huge elephant in the room. It was time something had to be done and it looked like Danny was going to have to be the one to bring the subject up. He was going to have to be subtle about it, and gradually work it around to their relationship, the one they didn't currently have.

'I'm glad that you're still alive Steve, and that he didn't…'Danny waved his hands around spilling beer as he did.

'Yeah, me too.' Steve opened his mouth to say something else, but closed it. Then he tried again. 'So what about you and Hotch?' He pushed himself to start this topic, no matter how terrified he was of the outcome. He had nearly lost Danny, and he never wanted to have regrets or what ifs. Not if they concerned Danny. Hotch actually had been great and made him feel a better about a lot of things.

Danny turned to look at his partner. His blue eyes focused on the other man. It looked like this was it. He wasn't going to let this moment pass him by not again. Not when last time he had broken this amazing man's heart. 'There is no me and Hotch, not in a romantic sense.' He took a deep breath there were so many things he had to apologise for. Fear made people do lots of stupid things. 'I'm sorry for pushing you at Catherine.' That was how the whole thing really started to go downhill. 'For using Hotch to hide how I really feel about you.'

'How do you feel about me?' Steve needed to hear any words that Danny liked him in a romantic way. He would take there, and then would do whatever he could to make Danny for in love with him. He was still afraid that his partner couldn't, no wouldn't be able to love him.

'I love you Steven J McGarrett. I love everything about you. After my relationship with Rachel fell apart I hid away my broken heart. I promised myself that I would never be that vulnerable again, it had hurt too much. I told myself having Grace in my life was enough. After arriving in this hellhole, slowly my heart began to mend. It then started to reach out to you. It terrified me when I realised what I felt towards you. I had no idea what to say, if I was going to say anything at all?'

Steve took a large swig of beer. It was time for him to man up and be honest about his emotions. 'I never thought I was capable of love. I'd never felt that way about anyone before. I believed that I must have been missing something inside to stop that from happening. I cared, care for Cath, and I thought that it was the best that I was going to do, to get until I met you. Even saying that now, I was so unfair on here. I kept her thinking that I loved her. I should have told her so she could have found someone else. If I had I still might have had her friendship. I don't have too many of them.'

I thought you would prefer an update. I will respond to all your reviews. I really hoped you enjoyed this story.

'We need to be honest with each other if we want this relationship to work.' Danny hoped Steve agreed. He really, really wanted them to be together.

'I'm willing to try if you are? I know I'll struggle at times, but you, we are worth it.' Steve's eyes crinkle at the edges as he smiles.

'Oh yeah babe, I am too.' Danny reaches his hand out, which Steve grabs. They sit there for hours like that. With everything that happened especially to Steve they weren't going to rush into anything. They didn't feel the need to.

They spent the time in front of the ocean kissing with it going nowhere. They went to sleep in each other's arms and nothing else. The two men still needed to talk; they had a lot to cover. Being who they were it would take time for them to be able to open up. They were building a strong foundation to build their relationship on. This would be a foundation that would strong and steady to deal with any bad weather that came their way. This foundation would last them a lifetime.

The End.
