Chapter Eleven

Bad and Good News

The morning after Danno had broken the news to Steve about Jamie's mother being found dead, Steve knew he would have to tell his little mini me the news. When Danny returned from dropping Grace off at school, they all sat down in the living room with the little boy in between them. Danny cleared his throat.

"Hey buddy, we've got some news that Steve and I need to share with you. It's going to make you sad," Danny said gently.

Jamie frowned a bit at that and looked to Steve for confirmation.

"Jamie, some really mean people made sure that you wouldn't have a mommy. She's in a better place now, though," he said gently.

"What do you mean? I want my mommy Steve!" Jamie exclaimed.

"I know, but Jamie, she's in heaven now," Danny said softly to him.

Jamie's eyes welled up with tears, and soon began to cry. His cries were quiet and heart wrenching to hear. Danny placed a gentle hand on the boys knee. "Talk to us, Jamie."

"Where am I going to go? I don't have a mommy now." He asked, his lip jutting out as he tried to reign in his tears.

Steve smiled gently, "Well, we were hoping you would want to stay with Danny and I."

Jamie looked up at Steve, "Y-you would let me stay here?"

"Of course! Someone's gotta keep Steve in line," Danny teased.

Jamie smiled a bit at that, before reaching up for Steve to pick him up. Steve easily picked up the boy and stood up. The little boys arm wrapped around his neck and his legs around Steve's torso, sniffling still. "Promise you won't leave me." He whispered.

Steve and Danny looked at each other, before Steve said, "I won't ever leave you if I can't help it."

After Jamie hugged Danny, they went outside to play soccer and to swim to help lighten the mood. Danny worried at how well Jamie took the news. It made him wonder if the fear of his mom being gone was more about what would happen to him. It seemed as if Jamie's mother wasn't that good of a mother to him. It was time to worry about Steve and their impending marriage to keep the boy.

When he went to pick up Grace, they made a pit stop at Kamekona's truck to get a snow cone. Danny made sure to explain everything to his daughter about Jamie, his mother, and him and Steve marrying each other. All Grace really seemed to care about was being the flower girl and what colors and flowers they would have. Danny was relieved to have his little girl make light of the situation.

After retuning him, the father-daughter duo went out back where they heard squealing and fits of giggles. They both could see Jamie thrown over Steve's shoulder as the man ran out to the beach. Grace raced to her room. Danny suspected she was putting on her swim suit.

Danny watched in amusement once Steve and Jamie reached the water and the older man dove into the water. Jamie had huge smile on his face and Steve had never looked so happy and joyful. A splashing fight began before Jamie swam over to Steve and his lover lifted him up to sit on his shoulders. Grace ran past him and out to the water. Steve easily beckoned her over after letting Jamie back down. Grace waved to him before splashing him. Jamie grinned and splashed her right back. Another splash war broke out between the two kids. Steve looked up and smiled at Danny. He smiled back, watching his little family unwind from an emotionally exhausting day.

Putting the kids down in their respective rooms had never been so easy. They were exhausted from their water adventures and slightly burnt. After eating a large meal of pasta and salad, each child bathed and were put to bed. Steve and Danny collapsed on the couch. Danny cuddled into Steve's side, "Hey babe."

Steve smiled, "Hi there. You know, Jamie and Grace are getting along a lot better. He's not as shy as he used to be."

"Grace has that effect on people," Danny murmured.

"Yeah, she's perfect," Steve sighed.

"Don't you forget it."

"How could I?"

"Point taken."

"Daddy! Danno!" Grace yelled.

Both men were up in an instant, running up the stairs to their daughters room. They raced through the hallway and burst through the door. Grace was sitting up, panting and crying. Danno instantly went to her, "What happened baby?"

Steve instantly heard crying from the next room. Danny mouthed 'go' to him as Grace curled into her Danno's body.

He hurried into Jamie's make-shift room. His eyes were red, wide and frightened. Steve went to the bed and picked him up. "Hey buddy. Did Gracie scare you?" He asked him softly.

"Y-yeah," he mumbled. The boy had relaxed when Steve had lifted him up. He rested his head on Steve's shoulders and breathed heavily.

"Gracie had a nightmare, I'm sure she didn't mean to scare you," Steve said quietly to him.

"It's okay," the boy said back, "She okay?"

Steve smiled, "I'm sure she is. We can go check." He made his way out of the room and back into Grace's room. Grace was sitting in Danny's lap, smiling at him while he was talking to her.

"Everything all better in here?" Steve asked.

Grace looked up and her face fell, "Did I wake Jamie up?"

"Yeah, he was just startled. He wanted to make sure you were better."

"I'm okay Jamie," she said sweetly, "I'm sorry for waking you."

"It's okay Gracie," the boy said to her.

Grace crawled out from Danny's lap and looked at Steve. He smiled at her and gently placed Jamir in Danny's lap. The boy whined, but was silenced when Danny quieted him. He easily lifted Grace up and squeezed her.

"What was your nightmare about, love?" He whispered to her.

"You were hurt and the doctors couldn't help you," she said softly.

"Oh, babe, I'm right here, all safe and sound. No need to worries love," he soothed gently.

"I know daddy," she said back.

"Alright, let's get you back to bed, okay sweet pea?" He said.

"Okay," she mumbled back to him.

Steve put her back down on her bed as Danny stood up holding Jamie.

"Good night Jamie. Nanight Danno and daddy." Grace mumbled.

"Love you, monkey," Danno said.

The three boys left the room and headed back into Jamie's room for him to be put down and go back to sleep. After tucking him in and kissing him good night, they left the room.
