Disclaimers: I do not, unfortunately and sadly, own anything of Hawaii Five-0 except for my character(s) and ideas. But I do wish I own both Steve/Alex and Danny/Scott and any mistake found is mine because my first language isn't English.

Sorry for any mistakes that I've left behind.

Wow it's been a while since I updated it and I'm sorry. I've been so busy with school and exam and shits that I kinda forget about it. I'm also sorry for the mistakes I made because I'm kinda of excited and in rush to post this chapter so yeah, I'm sorry. My attempt to find a beta was a failure so yeah. I'm not happy. I think it will be a couple more chapters to go before the epilogue

Calm Down

Allegra stirs the next morning and sits up quickly. With a blurry vision she looks around and realizes that she had fallen asleep on the sofa, Grace's sleeping upstairs, her waist is aching probably having an impression of her Five-0 badge that she slept on and there's someone laying on the sofa across her seat.

She blinks a couple of times and sits up. A moan escapes her lips and she takes the badge on the sofa throwing it on the table; cursing it along the way and rubs on the spot. She rubs her eyes and focus on the figure across her. 'Danny.' The name escapes her lips. She recognizes him anyway in any angles in a blink of her eyes.

His back was facing her. He's still in his yesterday attire and his blonde hair spread wildly on the sofa. She was sure that she had locked all the possible ways to get into the house since she has Grace sleeping here. But Danny is a cop and he probably had kept a copy of her keys. Mentally making a note to ask for the keys back from him, she pulls her hair back and tied it with a tight knot before standing up.

The morning shine of another day in Hawaii is making its way in through the window. The house was closed to silent except for the constant sound of her bed creaking upstairs and Danny's breathing. The sound of the waves crashing on the beach can be heard from the distance. The weather is perfect.

She pulls the curtain; tying it and opens the window to let the morning air in. She grabs a blanket from her chair and covers his body with it as gentle as possible. But Danny stirs anyway. He rolls over, blinking his eyes a couple of time and shields his face from the blinding lights away with his hand.

'I didn't mean to wake you up.' She whispers but her voice came out all sore.

'I wasn't really sleeping. I was just closing my eyes.' He rubs it, 'Resting it you know.'

He reaches for her hand and places it on his chest with his on top. 'When did you come here?' She asks. 'About an hour ago. I can't sleep, so I just close my eyes but it didn't happen because of the waves and I can't turn on the tv without disturbing you so yeah.' He sits up and rubs his neck, scooting over for her to join him. 'Danny….' He cuts and shakes his head, 'No, I'm sorry.' She looks down and shrugs. 'I shouldn't have screamed at you last night and hung up.' He wraps his hand around her shoulder and pulls her close, planting a kiss on her temple.

'We were both upset.'

'I know.'

She leans down, tilting her head up and presses her lips firmly against his. The kiss last for a while and ends when she kissed the top of his nose. 'You have a bad day last night?' He asks rubbing her hand. 'I picked up Grace last night.' She mutters, 'I met Mrs Brisbane.'

'That busybody lady?' Danny smirks, 'No wonder you're so upset.'

'Grace told her about my job. You should see the look she gave me. Suddenly she just goes and started to criticise what I'm doing for living. And she just knows me for what—few minutes?' She covers her face with both of her hand and runs her hands in her hair. 'She did that to me okay, the first time I met her so, I understand that really.' He pulls her closer, rubbing his hand on her shoulder. He kisses the window peak of her head, 'I know.' He mumbles.

Silence.

'I told Grace about us.'

'About us?'

'The proposal. About that.'

Danny's expression changes immediately. Worried and shock, but he tries to cover it, 'How did she responds to that?' He asks, 'Is she mad that I didn't tell her? I want to make it a surprise later when we go for Father-Daughter dance.' When she assures him that she wasn't mad in fact deliriously happy with her father decision, Danny looks as he just have escape from a death sentence. 'Well, that's a wrap on that. Now the only problem is—'

'Me.' She sighs, 'I know, Danny, I know. That's why we're having this talk?'

'This talk?'

She smiles and nods, reaching forward to grab his hand in hers, clutching it tightly, 'Yes,' He looks at her nervously, worries beaming in his eyes and she couldn't help but laugh. 'Danny, don't give me that look. You asshole, because I'm marrying you.'

'Ally?'

She cups his face with both of her palms and nods; not realizing the dripping tears in her eyes, 'Yes, Danny. I'm saying yes.' She wipes her eyes with a smile, 'Say something you asshole. You're making me look bad here.'

'Thank you.' He pulls her in, pressing his lips against her. She would say it was a lie that the kiss doesn't remind her of the first kiss. It was a cold night of her birthday. She's angry and pissed off. He was angry and pissed off. Both of them were pissed off at each other. A cheesy pickup line later, in out of blue, he kissed her. And she didn't push him away.

She pulls away, leaning her forehead against his, 'I'm tired of running away.' She mumbles and he wipes her tears away. 'I'm tired of fighting and pushing you away.'

'I know and I'm sorry for leaving you before.'

He kisses her collarbone and chest before bringing his lips back up to hers, 'You need me and I left you. Alone, hanging. I'm sorry.' Her hands that were a bit rough because of her strong commitment for her works found their ways under his shirt, running it along his spine. He shudders. 'It doesn't matter anymore.'

'It doesn't?' He asks for confirmation.

She nods, 'No it doesn't anymore.' Looking him with her glassy eyes, she said, 'What matter right now for both of us is Grace. Of course not to forget our ohana. Nothing more, nothing less.' His heart is blooming with love and he knows it wasn't a mistake asking her to marry him.

'Makemake oe.' He smiles as he loves the way those native Hawaiian accent rolls between her native tongue.

'Makemake oe too.'

4 days later,

'Max, there's another hand.'

Allegra bends down and pulls out one of the missing limbs under the remaining left of the exploded house. 'Well, thank you Detective.' She makes her way carefully down the stairs and hands in the limb to Max. 'What are we looking for more?' She rolls off her black gloves and pulls up her sleeves higher.

'Another missing limbs would probably be another hand.'

'Hey Ally!' She turns around to see her twin calling for her.

'You go. We'll help him.' Kono assures her and she thanks her, walking carefully toward her brother. A moment she left, Kono and Chin watch as a Camaro drives in, right next to Kono's car. 'Hey. So I take it this is not a kid dropping Mentos into his soda pop.' Danny asks, closing the door of his car and locks it; making his way toward the trio.

'And not a gas leak, either.' Kono confirms it.

'A surfer on his way to Chun's Reef saw an explosion from the road and called 911.' Chin says, pointing to the remaining left of the house. He stops next to Kono with his hands in his pocket, before pointing at Max. 'Look at this guy. He's like a kid in a candy store.' He mumbles, 'Ally's started working yet?' Kono nods and points to Steve where Ally's at. 'She's back in business brah. Well not really that often thought. She said that she'll be back on active duty and will be deactivated for Five-0 for a while.'

'Well she needs to be cut off some slacks. So how many victim here?' Danny asks

'He thinks there's only one vic, but he's got to put Humpty Dumpty back together again before he can confirm it.' Chin mutters pointing at the 'Humpty Dumpty' on the stretcher. 'This is, uh, quite a puzzle you've got there, Max.' Danny greets the medical examiner with a smug, glancing at the body. 'With very broken pieces. The body sustained exceptional impact, so I'm unable to confirm a cause of death or give you an I.D until I complete the, uh assembly.'

'Understandable.' He mutters and turns to make his way towards the two McGarrett. Max nods and continues to search for the missing limbs before stopping, 'Oh, I trust your shopping expedition went well?' Danny stops and nods, shoving his hand in his pocket in discomfort of talking it in front of Chin and Kono. 'Oh, yeah, it was good.' He smiles and lifts one hand to rubs on the back of her neck. 'Uh, we found something nice. Thanks for the suggestion.' Danny's relieve that Max looks happy, 'Wonderful.' He smiles, 'I'll tell my niece it was a success.' Danny nods in agreement and quite annoyance of the never ending conversation, 'Oh, please do.'

'Now, if you'll excuse me, I am short one right arm.'

'Right behind you.'

Max turns around and a smile plasters on his face as he picks up the last pieces,' .' Danny continues his way along the exploded debris. 'Uh, what else do we know?'

'Well, the house is a rental. I'm trying to track down the owners, but they're in Japan on business.' Chin says referring to the notebook he's holding, 'Also found a cell phone, and I sent it over to the crime lab for processing.' He closes the book and Danny stops right in front of them two.

'Hey.'

'Hey.' Both of them reply. Allegra glances up and smiles back before standing up, giving a space for him to take a good look at the piece of bomb Steve's holding and squats next to Steve. 'What's up? Heard you went dress shopping.' Steve says, looking up from the bomb in his hand. 'That's right.' Danny says with his eyes on the scrap on Steve's hands. But of course, Steve's not finish. 'There something I should know? You're glowing lately.'

'Something? Yeah, I like to wear dresses.' Danny grins sarcastically at his partner and Allegra couldn't brush away a silly smile off her face. 'What, you always go for the cheap shot? Subtlety doesn't work with you. A hammer is always best.'

Steve grins and glances at his sister and she shrugs, 'I'm just hoping you got something with a nice, plunging neckline so you can show off that Chewbacca chest.' That was the last straw and Allegra bursts out. Surprisingly Chin and Kono too. 'Oh, that's-that's funny.' Danny smirks, 'For your information, I had to buy a dress for Grace.' He mumbles, 'Uh, there's a father-daughter dance tonight.'

'Oh but you can't dance.' Steve and Allegra reply together.

Danny's cheeks flush. The fact that his own girlfriend—fiancée isn't backing him up, hurts slightly. 'Sure, I can dance.' He says, flipping his arm around before making its way to his neck rubbing it uncomfortably, 'It is just, I just choose not to.'

Allegra looks up at him and grins, 'That's a smart move.'

'Excuse me? You forget I saw you dance at my wedding, brah.' Chin interrupts.

Kono looks like a kid on Christmas morning, 'Yeah, the overbite shuffle. I remember.' Danny's done with everybody and rolls his eyes in annoyance, 'Is everybody done with their cute critiques? Okay, what are you looking at?' Steve takes it as the sign of having fun is over and shows him the scrap. 'A fragment from the housing of the explosive device.'

'Okay, does that device have a name?' He asks impatiently.

'Okay, Danny, you can't just walk into a bomb scene, poke a few things around, stick a finger in the air and say with any degree of certainty that this is a high-velocity, peroxide-based explosive moving at 17,500 feet per second.' Allegra rolls her eyes at her brother's slight cockiness. 'Okay, that-that sounds pretty certain to me.'

'Yeah, I've had some experience in this area.' Steve says, 'So does she.' He points to Ally.

Allegra points the fragment at Danny, pointing to some what a residue on the fragment. 'You see this white crystalline residue? Take a whiff of that.' Danny pulls out a black gloves and holds it near to his nose and immediately puts it away, 'Okay, it smells like bleach.'

'Yeah, that's the hallmark of TATP, triacetone triperoxide.' She explains, taking it and hands back to Steve, 'It's highly explosive and it's highly unstable.' Danny shrugs, 'I never heard of it.' Steve stands up and hands Allegra the evidence bag. 'I saw this a lot in the IEDs on the road to Kabul. I mean, it's all over the Middle East.'

'Okay, if it's so big in the Middle East, what is it doing here in Hawaii?'

'That's a good question.'

'Max? Hey, want a hand with that?' Steve asks as he and Danny enters the examination room. 'I'm good, thank you.' Max mumbles and Danny rolls his eyes. Steve's jokes aren't affecting anyone again. 'By the way, Commander, your olfactory receptors are quite exceptional.' Max points to the screen, 'What you smelled was indeed TATP, triacetone triperoxide. As far as explosives go, it's, uh, quite a simple recipe. You can practically get everything from your local drugstore.'

Max pulls the white cover covering the half assembled burned body, 'As you can see from my reconstruction, the blast distribution pattern indicates that the victim was hunched over the device when it was inadvertently triggered.' Danny scratches his head in confusion. 'Hunched over? So this idiot blows himself up accidentally while trying to build a bomb?' Max nods, 'Correct.'

Steve puts his hand on his waist shifting his weigh nervously, 'What about an I.D , Max?'

'I did get a hit on a DNA sample.' The computer near them beep and a name pops out in bold with a sheets of criminal record. 'Qaseem Ramzi' Steve reads. Max nods and points to the screen, 'There wasn't much on him that I could find. Apparently, he was a radical student expelled from Saudi Arabia for engaging in anti-government activities.'

'Okay, so uh.' Danny points to both body and computer, 'Qaseem Ramzi, he comes over to the island, he rents a place in the middle of nowhere, he tries to build a bomb. The question is: Does he work alone?'

'No.' Steve shakes his head, 'Terrorists don't work alone. They work in cells. That way, if one guy goes down, his buddy comes in and finishes the job.'

Danny screeches in discomfort, 'Okay, you just said the "T" word.'

'Okay, does this look like the end of something to you? Because to me, this is just the beginning.'

'You gonna tell me?' Steve asks after ending the call with Catherine. Danny is fidgeting since they're at the ME Office. 'Am I gonna tell you what?' He asks. 'What's going on in that head?'

'Okay, uh I am thinking about the fact that this is a very dangerous world that we live in.' Steve looks at him asking for more explanation, 'We got nut jobs like Ramzi running around, and at the same time, I am thinking about the fact that I have a very beautiful daughter and girlfriend.' Steve smiles and nods, 'Yes, you do, and you're her father and you love her, you love them both and you try real hard to protect them.'

He cuts in, 'That's my point. Too little, too late, maybe.'

'What are you talking about, Danny?'

'I am talking about the fact that Grace and every other kid her age is growing up in Fortress America, right? Whether Grace knows it or not, she will have lived her entire life under the threat of another attack.' Danny says rubbing his forehead.

'Don't you think you're being a tad dramatic, Danny?'

Danny shakes his head, and straightens up his body, 'Absolutely not. I am not being dramatic at all, Steve. I am simply stating a fact. Because of one day, because of one day, my daughter will never know what it's like to board a plane without being groped or harassed for 45 minutes. Or or my girlfriend being harassed by this nutjobs while doing her job.' He rubs his jaws, 'Did you grow up like that?' Steve shakes his head, 'I didn't grow up like that.' Danny says.

'No, I did not.' Steve says quietly.

'No, you did not, and I I never wanted that for my daughter. I never wanted it for any kid. That is not the way it is supposed to be. That's all.' Danny leans back and breathes slowly, hoping that whatever he says-all of the threats will never come true.

Danny drops the call right away after Steve drops his call. 'Rachel and Grace, they all right?' Steve asks. Danny nods, 'Yeah. That was actually the first civil conversation Rachel and I have had in several months. Who knew that it would take the fear of imminent death to make us cordial to one another?' Danny puts his phone down, 'How's Doris and Ally?'

'She's fine. Ally's not at home. She's pulling back from the case, she's been called back to base.' Steve explains and his phone starts ringing. 'Keep her away from this case.' Danny rubs his chin, 'That's nice.' He presses the green button. 'Kono, what's up?'

'More intel on Ayham Al Safi.' Kono says at the end of the line, ' Turns out he was using the alias "Randy Ramirez" to rent the cottage he was living in. He got a bogus I.D and a credit card. "Randy Ramirez" then used that card to rent a Town Car from Premium Rentals.'

'Hey, listen, can you get a location on the car? Farooq could be driving it right now to a target location.'

Chin's voice comes in, 'I just talked to the rental company manager. All their vehicles have an antitheft tracking gave me the log-in info. I'm activating it now.' Steve and Danny hear the faint sound of beeping, 'We got a hit.'

'You got an address?'

'T-100 Palm Circle Drive.'

'That's Fort Shafter.' Steve says.

'That's the U.S. Army's Pacific Headquarters.' Chin continues.

Kono's nervous voice 'Guys, there's a retirement ceremony for a three-star general on Palm Circle today. The Secretary of Defense is attending the ceremony.'

'That's the target. The entire Pacific military leadership in one spot. Chin, notify HPD and the Army Bomb Squad.' Steve says, with one hand on the wheel, 'Tell them we're looking at a major terrorist event. You got that?'

'Copy.' Chin says and the call end.

2 hours later,

'The immediate evacuation is needed when the causalities are all-'

Allegra stops her speech she's giving towards the new recruits that's getting shipped away on active duty. Her phone has been ringing nonstop for the past 15 minutes and now she's getting uncomfortable for acting unprofessional in front of the recruits. She glances quickly at the screen and Steve's numbers pops up.

'Would you excuse me for a second?' She smiles politely and answers it.

'Steve I'm in the middle of a safety -'

'Danny.'

Allegra's face whitens, 'Hold on.' She covers the speaker and faces her recruits, 'Let's have a 5 min break please.' She mutters and runs out of the room out to the deck of the ship. 'What's wrong with Danny? Steve, I'm in the ocean in the middle of shipping my recruits to the big Island. Don't you mess with me right now.'

'Danny, he's…Ally, don't panic, okay? But Danny got an infrared radiation beam that detects movement on him that's connecting to a bomb and…'

'What?'

Always with the tone of surprise didn't I? RnR?
