Here it is!

Wo Fat?

What was Wo Fat doing here?

How could they have not figured it out before?

Wo Fat was the mastermind behind everything.

But the figure standing beside him earned a reaction shaking everybody to their core. From Makayla to Danny to Steve to Eric. Even Jason wore a shell shocked expression on his face.

"But... How...?" Jason said, stumbling to differentiate between what was real and what wasn't.

There, wearing a crisp, dark blue coloured suit, Ray-Ban's, and Armani shoes, dressed as if he was the actual boss, stepped inside the room the one man that neither Eric, or Makayla ever expected to see again.

There was the man who was a testimony to Eric's confession; a living proof to the fact that Eric was indeed telling the truth to Makayla.

There, stood Ethan Barton.

Ethan Barton.

There stood the man who had ruined Makayla's life from the moment he entered it. This was the man who had tortured Makayla in ways that no one could ever imagine. This was the man who had taken advantage of Makayla in ways that only a monster could fathom. This was the man who had stolen Makayla and Eric's chance at happiness. The man who had murdered their child.

"We meet again, brother," Ethan slowly said, his eyes moving from Eric to Makayla as he surveyed the two with an evil grin.

Jason continued to look between the figures in front of him as if he was looking at one of them facing a mirror.

"You monster..." Eric seethed.

Steve felt the anger boil within him realising that he was looking at the same man who had made life a living hell for Makayla. The man responsible for the tormenting memories she carried; those memories that she could not share with anyone. Not even himself.

He felt Makayla's hold on his shoulders become tighter as she inched closer to his touch.

"Jason, meet Crypt," Wo Fat stealthily said, "formerly known as Ethan Barton."

"Nice speech there, Jason," Ethan smoothly said, "about the whole everything happens for a reason?"

Eric, along with Jason continued to look dumbstruck as they tried processing what was happening in front of their eyes right now.

"Saulte Beach, 8 months ago?" Ethan continued, "ring a bell?"

Jason continued listening to Ethan's taunts as all of a sudden a realisation hit him like a tonne of bricks.

"You tried putting an end to my life, but fate had other plans for me," Ethan firmly said. "I wasn't meant to suffer for what my brother did," Ethan added.

Jason was not the only one that had a realisation in that moment. Eric's face went from white to whiter, if that was even possible, after hearing what Ethan had just said. That meant that all this while that he thought Ethan was killed for being Ethan, he was actually killed for being Eric. Jason had tried to kill Ethan under the assumption that Ethan was actually Eric, but of course that was not true.

Further, he'd been lied to. He was told that Ethan's body was found on the beach. That Ethan was killed. That he was dead.

But he had never actually seen his dead body.

"Guess we were meant to meet again after all," he said without mentioning any names, but by smirking in an evil way towards Makayla.

"Like I said, your man here Eric wasn't the only one becoming the scapegoat after all..." Wo Fat finished, intending towards Jason.

"Finding him on the beach in the state that you'd left him, I did what I do best," Wo Fat explained. "I recruited him. At that time, I was unaware of his true identity. Call me lucky, that I was able to find a direct link to you right away, Commander," he said looking towards Steve.

"I thought to myself, why not take advantage of things while I could? We all have our motives. This man here had a score to settle with his brother, and I had to settle some old scores with you," Wo Fat said to Steve.

"You're not getting out of here alive Wo Fat," Danny said with clenched teeth, aiming his gun at the man in front of him.

"Is that so?" Wo Fat questioned, a hint of sarcasm in his tone. He took a step back and raised his arms as if encompassing the whole room.

"Look at me, Commander. I am in control here!" Wo Fat screamed.

And as if on cue, both Ethan and Wo Fat pulled out guns, pointing them towards Steve, Danny and Makayla who all stood on one side of the room, as well as Eric and Jason who both stood on the other side of the room dumbfounded.

This was all out war now. Danny and Steve on one side, and Wo Fat and Ethan on the other. Both had guns pointed towards each other. But both Danny and Steve were aware of the fact that they had Makayla with them, which meant that they had to be extra careful of every step they took.

"Drop your guns officers," Ethan said, "we wouldn't want the pregnant woman here to get hurt, now would we?"

Danny and Steve were both on their toes having heard Ethan's threat, and although they were in no way willing to risk Makayla's life, they still had to give them a fight. They owed the Five 0 at least that.

Wo Fat acknowledged the fact that they didn't budge and scoffed.

"Oh, Commander, when will you ever learn?" Wo Fat said, shaking his head. He looked towards Ethan and gave him some sort of signal, something Ethan acknowledged with a smirk and nodded.

Ethan raised his weapon and aimed at his target.

A shot was fired.

Makayla shrieked in horror and closed her eyes, as all eyes fell towards the victim that had been shot.

Eric fell to his knees with a painful, horrified look on his face, clutching his stomach where the bullet had just hit him.

"Next time, it will be her," Wo Fat determinedly said to Steve. "Now, drop your guns," he again ordered.

The fact that Ethan had just shot Eric was no joke, leaving no option for Danny and Steve but to give in and lower their guns. With Wo Fat still pointing a gun towards the trio, Ethan aimed his gun at Jason and instructed him to walk over to where him and Wo Fat stood. Jason complied, his whole body shaking with fear.

As soon as he was in his reach, Wo Fat grabbed him by the neck and had him in a headlock.

"Grab the guns," he ordered, slowly bending so that Jason could extend his hand and grab the weapons. As soon as he had them in his hands, he stood back up.

"Now, point the guns at them," Wo Fat instructed Jason to do. As soon as Jason's trembling hands went up pointing the two guns in front of the two men and woman, Wo Fat who had up till now pointed a gun towards Danny and Steve, now had the gun pointed at Jason.

"No loose ends," Wo Fat said to Ethan, who once again acknowledged his word and grabbed a dying Eric, dragging him towards the door.

"There's nowhere to go, Commander..." Wo Fat taunted, slowly inching back out the room with Jason in his hold. Ethan on the other hand, forced Eric who was in pain to stand up, positioning his gun on Eric's forehead.

"I'll make do with just you for now, brother," Ethan whispered into Eric's ear.

Both carrying their hostages, Wo Fat and Ethan cleverly made their way outside the room with Jason forced to point two guns at the trio inside.

Once they were out, Wo Fat flashed an evil smile to Steve as Ethan slammed the bedroom door shut, destroying the knob from outside, preventing the trio to make an escape attempt using the door.

As soon as the door was shut, Steve's mind began racing as to the possible ways of making it out of here alive.

Then, as if a light bulb went on in their heads at the same time, Danny and Steve exchanged looks and reached into their pockets and grabbed their cellphones.

Wo Fat had been smart to have taken Jason hostage and in turn have him point guns at them, however, he hadn't been smart enough to take their phones.

"It's gonna take them a while to get here, and it's gonna take a while to break down that door," Danny remarked, his phone to his ear as he called for back-up.

Makayla was standing beside Steve still with her hand on his shoulder, when suddenly he felt her grip become tighter by the second.

"Makayla..." Steve said worried, turning around to see Makayla almost completely bent over clutching her stomach, her eyes closed as another wave of pain came over her.

"Oh God, Steve..." she said in between breaths, realising that this one had been worse and longer than the previous two. Not being able to bear the pain she slid to the floor clutching her lower belly and taking deep breaths as she waited for the pain to go away.

A wave of panic seemed to wash over Steve seeing Makayla clutch her belly in pain like that, and with one hand tightly holding hers, the other rested on her back as he helped her sit down on the floor.

"Baby... You okay?" Steve said, now on his knees behind Makayla, who sat with her feet on the floor, her knees slightly bent, and her back resting into Steve's chest.

"Babe, was this the first?" Danny worriedly asked, now off the phone having given Kono instructions to where they were and what had happened.

"The third," Makayla said with a worried expression, looking up to Steve. "Steve, I'm scared... It's too soon... I've got another three weeks..." Makayla almost cried.

"It's okay baby... Everything is going to be okay..." Steve comforted, pushing back the hair from her forehead that had now become sweaty with fear and anxiety.

"You gotta time them babe," Danny advised leaning over. "How far apart have they been?"

Makayla tightly closed her eyes in pain again as yet another contraction came over.

"That's less than 2 minutes apart..." Danny slowly said. "Steve," Danny said looking into Steve's eyes, "this baby is coming now."

When Danny said the words it had just made everything real for Steve. The reality of the situation hit him like a brick wall. Things were happening faster than he had imagined.

This was it.

The baby was coming.

The baby was coming now.

Danny had called Kono up again and told her they'd need paramedics as well. Makayla was going into labour.

"Steve," Makayla said catching her breath after yet another contraction came.

"Yeah, Kay?"

Danny's formal announcement had also made things that much more real for Makayla. She wasn't always the best when it came to making spur of the moment decisions, but today, that was about to change.

In that moment, right then and there, Makayla saw her whole life flash in front of her eyes. She was tired of being lied to, tired of being deceived time and again. She had finally gotten her chance at true love now, and not only was she thankful, but also very lucky to have found Steve.

Makayla loved Steve with all her heart. And through the ups and downs they had been through, Makayla knew that Steve felt the same.

One thing however, she had realised through the events of today only.

Steve was Makayla's soulmate.

Steve was the one Makayla wanted to spend the rest of her life with.

"Steve, I love you. And I love our baby. Whether it's a boy or a girl, I will love it more than anything in this world," Makayla said in between breaths, "and I know this is gonna sound weird and unconventional, but... I feel the same way about you..."

Makayla continued, "for me too, like makes sense when you're with me... When I'm away from you, I feel like I'm missing something..." Makayla said as another contraction hit her.

"But..." Makayla said, in shortened breaths.

"Kay, whatever it is, it can wait..." Steve said worried.

"No... Let me say it," Makayla finally continued, "Steve, I know this isn't the right time... And this is definitely not how I planned it... But," Makayla paused before continuing.

"Lieutenant Steven John McGarrett, will you marry me?"

The words hit Steve much like Danny's realisation to the fact that Steve was the man who had gotten his sister pregnant.

Before Steve had a moment to react, Danny realised that this baby was coming out quicker than they thought.

"Makayla, your water just broke..." Danny said with a slight panic to his voice, indicating that this was indeed going to be a rather quick birth.

"We've gotta shed these layers," Danny motioned to Steve.

Steve acknowledged as Danny took his spot behind Makayla as Steve helped Makayla out of her pants.

Makayla screamed this time much louder as another contraction hit her, Danny noticing the fact that they were only a few seconds apart now.

"Steve, grab that blanket from the bed and the pillow," Danny instructed.

Steve became a robot simply following Danny's orders, feeling overwhelmed by everything in the current moment.

"I'll hold her knees back, Steve. Babe," Danny said to Makayla, "when the next contraction comes, you have to push, okay?"

Makayla lightly nodded her head, and a second passed before the next contraction came and Makayla pushed with all her might.

It took a few pushes, until Steve began seeing the baby's head.

"Just a few more baby," Steve comforted, "I can see the head..."

Steve tried his best to stay strong. After all, helping Makayla with the actual birth wasn't part of the plan. But being with her in the delivery room sure was.

It took a few more pushes, until a crying sound echoed the room.

The baby was here.

She was here.

Steve McGarrett had just helped bring his daughter into this world.

And now he held her in his hands.

Lieutenant Commander Steven John McGarrett held his beautiful daughter in his own hands.

"It's a girl," Steve said with a 1000-watt smile on his face, as he moved closer to Makayla as they hugged their baby together.

"I love you, Makayla. Thank you for this beautiful gift," Steve said with tears in his eyes.

Steve had said to Makayla that everything would be alright. And he was absolutely right in that sense.

The moment their baby's cry was heard in the room, the door was slammed open revealing the remaining Five 0 members and the much needed paramedics.

As Danny hugged his now exhausted sister and planted a kiss on her forehead, he noticed how beaming Steve had become and stood up, giving the two of them their moment together.

Steve gave Makayla a soft kiss as the paramedics took over with the baby for now, cutting the umbilical cord and cleaning the baby up.

"I love you too, Steve," Makayla, who was sitting up now, with her back against the bed, said with a smile and happy tears in her eyes.

"To answer your question," Steve said, looking deeply into her eyes, "yes, I will marry you, Makayla Williams," he said, with compassion in his eyes.

Makayla's only reaction was a huge smile as she threw her arms around Steve and hugged him passionately.

"Congratulations, boss!" Kono said, as herself and Chin were given not one but two surprises within the span of a few moments.

"At least now we know who wears the pants in the bedroom," Chin joked causing Steve to shoot a glare to Chin from where he sat.

The Five 0 team shared a laugh at his comment, as the paramedics passed the little bundle of joy wrapped in a blanket over to Makayla who took her in her arms, with Steve right by her side.

"She's beautiful," Makayla whispered with a smile, caressing her cheek.

"I think we made one gorgeous looking baby," Steve whispered back, holding his daughter's hand as she clutched his thumb.

"Okay, enough mushy stuff. We're all waiting here patiently to hold her, and I being her favourite uncle, will be the first one. Nobody challenges that," Danny said looking at Kono and Chin.

Makayla passed her baby over to her brother with a smile as Kono and Chin admired her in Danny's arms, as he held her, a proud uncle.

"What's her name, boss?" Kono excitingly asked.

To be honest, Steve and Makayla had never really discussed the topic of baby names. But they had shared with each other what their respective choices were going to be.

For Makayla, if it was a boy, she liked the idea of naming him after Steve's father. John. If it was a girl, she liked the name Jade.

For Steve, he admired the names Sawyer for a boy, and Sophia for a girl.

Both had known what the other's choice was.

And now they knew what their daughter's name was going to be.

Both said it in unison as if on cue.

"Sophia Jade McGarrett," they said, looking at each other with a smile.

It was perfect. They were perfect.

Their family was complete.

How does the saying go?

And the rest was history.

Unfortunately there were no signs of Ethan or Wo Fat that could lead to their whereabouts or be able to provide any information on them. The bodies of Eric and Jason were found in the living room of the same home and Steve's truck had been missing. Fortunately the police were able to track it down using the truck's satellite GPS System, and it was later found abandoned at a nearby beach.

Whether Ethan and Wo Fat had escaped together or not, nobody knew.

A thousand questions raced through Steve's mind as he cradled his newborn daughter to sleep one night, sitting in the rocking chair.

The Barton brothers were out of their lives.

Wo Fat was out of their lives.

Steve found himself repeating the sentences in his head as if his mind needed convincing that this was indeed true.

That the Barton brothers and Wo Fat really were gone. Far away from their lives.

Far away from his family.

Or were they really?
