Kono grinned as she opened the door to Chin and little Maddie. She was chuffed to find out that Maddie the young girl left orphaned during one of their cases had actually turned out to be Chin's daughter. As much as it had been a shock to him her was also adjusting rather well to parenthood.

"Hey!" Kono smiled excitedly as she hugged Chin then looked to Maddie.

The young girl really liked Kono but was still very intimated and worried around all the new faces. She was only just beginning to accept Chin was her father.

"Do I get a hug?" Kono chanced hoping the young girl would agree.

Maddie smiled and jumped into Kono's arms, holding on tight as Kono lifted her into her arms, her gangly legs wrapping round Kono's waist.

"Do you want a drink munchkin?" Kono asked as she padded to the kitchen plonking Maddie on the counter and making her a juice.

Chin hovered by the counter edge and looked to his stubborn cousin.

"So have you spoken to Danny since your falling out?" Chin asked with caution knowing it was a touch subject, one that had been avoided both in the teams personal life and working environment.

"You know i haven't"

"Just wandering if you had spoken to him outside of work"

"No" Kono bit

Maddie could feel the tension, she wasn't stupid she knew when grown up's were mad. She looked down at her swinging legs and held her juice scared she would somehow get shouted at.

"Cuz you can't not talk to him"

"He was out of line Chin"

"Maybe so but he apologised"

"It's not the point, he still believes he was right in saying it, he wasn't" Kono snapped harshly not meaning to raise her voice so much and scare Maddie.

Maddie flinched at Kono's sudden tone worriedly. Kono didn't miss it and turned to her niece quickly feeling awful.

"I'm sorry sweetheart i didn't mean to shout" Kono sighed as she wrapped a comforting arm around Maddie.

"Why are you mad at uncle Danno?" Maddie asked innocently.

Kono couldn't help but smile at the nickname and she felt a flutter of guilt in her belly at the ridiculous argument that she was currently in with the Jersey man.

"He erm…he said something that upset me"

"Maybe you could hug and it will make you feel better" Maddie suggested innocently.

Kono smiled at the youngster and kissed her temple nodding in agreement.

The team sat around the poolside table as they took a Friday night to enjoy some downtime and drinks. Kono and Danny were still not talking very much but barriers were beginning to crumble. Kono sat at the top of the table with Maddie snuggled in her lap. Kono looked up and smiled when Grace arrived having been at cheer practice. She smiled at Grace but Grace's smiled faltered. The young teen went from smiley to a sad frown and avoided her auntie Kono's eye contact but was forced to sit in the only spare seat next to her. Kono noticed Grace's distant behaviour and began to worry. She knew Grace wasn't stupid and was well aware she was mad at her Danno but Kono had never once treated Grace different. Sure she hadn't seen her much but she would never ignore Grace.

"You okay?" Kono asked softly leaning closer as Maddie scooted from her lap and went to help Chin get drinks.

"Mmmm" Grace mumbled.

"Babe have i upset you?" Kono asked with growing concern.

Grace looked to her lap sadly.

"Do you love Maddie more because she's actually related to you and I'm not?"

Kono felt terrible that Grace would think that and tugged her onto her lap.

"I love you both equally babe, blood doesn't matter, were Ohana" Kono reassured.

"Promise?"

"I promise"

Kono smiled and chatted to Grace about school and Cheer, then Maddie cam back and climbed onto Kono's lap as well the three girls cuddle close and chatting. Kono hugged her nieces and glanced at Danny giving him a small smile as he to caught her eye. Kono was about to say something when a figure caught her eye. She squinted as he moved closer and gasped when she realised who it was. Maddie and Grace giggled excitedly and everyone else smiled knowingly.

"Oh god" Kono sobbed as she watched Adam walk towards her, dressed smartly in a shirt and chinos and not some prison uniform.

"Go cuz" Chin encouraged/

Kono stood and ran to Adam realising he was home for good. She leaped into his arms letting him swing her around and kiss her passionately not caring about the prying eyes upon them.

"I'm home baby"

"For real?"

"Yeah sweetheart"

"How?"

Adam smiled at the blonde man and held Kono close.

"Erm Danny" Adam smiled appreciating the detectives help in getting him off early.

Kono covered her mouth and sobbed before going to hug Danny who was now up. His arms around Kono apologising for what he said and she apologising for holding the grudge.

"Thank you Danny"

"Anything for Ohana"

Kono wiped her eyes and went back to Adam kissing him and cuddling him before sitting back down, Maddie and Grace both climbing into the couples lap and chatting over one another telling Adam everything he had missed out on while everyone else smiled happily.
