One for Sorrow
Pairing: McRoll
Spoilers for season 10 - Episode 7
Chapter - 28
Kamakona had been made aware of what was going on with the big kuhna and his family. To be honest, he had missed seeing him around the shrimp truck the last couple of months. The man could certainly eat, though him not being here didn't cut into his profits at all. He was still doing a busy trade each and every day, but it was a nice surprise to when he looked up from serving a customer to see McGarrett walking towards a table with none other then Catherine Rollins, his sister Mary and the little kahuna, as he affectionally called the littlest McGarrett.
He headed out of the truck to where they had taken a seat and smiled as he walked closer to them, "Welcome back my bruddah", His hand held out for Steve to take, shaking hands and as Steve was standing, pulling him into a hug with his other arm. Once he had pulled back, he looked at the man that he once regarded as a simple haole and was now family to him and his cousin Flippa. "I'm sorry to hear about your Mom, If there is anything I can do, you just let me know and if you want to hold the wake at Steve's, it's all yours". Steve smiled and nodded, feeling appreciative of those words, "Thanks Kamakona, I really appreciate that my man".
This is why he stayed and had no intensions of leaving the island again, it was the people in his life that made him feel that he had a family. He knew that family wasn't always just the blood relatives in your life, it was the people that made you feel at home, the ones that made you feel safe, loved and protected. He knew he could always count on them and they could always count on him as well. Sitting down next to Catherine, he smiled wide when Joanie went running into Kamakona's arms and he lifted the little girl in the air.
"And how is my very best customer doing, I've missed seeing you around here?", Joan giggled at that question and smiled brightly, "I've missed you too Uncle Kammie, and I'm doing better now that Mommy said we can move here permanently". Her excited little voice told Kamakona she was wanting to spill that news all morning to anyone she came into contact with. "That's awesome little kahuna, give me a high five". She gave him a high five, kissed his cheek and then he put her down to go sit with her mother. "I've missed seeing you too Mary, I'm sorry about your Mom.. You know I'm here for you and the little kahuna". Mary smiled softly, standing up to give him a hug, "Thanks Kammie, and we know, and we love you for it so much, I've missed seeing you too".
It made Mary feel so much at home already to see that Steve's Ohana already considered her to be Ohana as well. It was why she was at peace with making this decision about leaving Los Angeles and moving back to Hawaii. She knew she would miss her friends back in Los Angeles, however she knew she would make new friends here as well and she already had family here who loved her and her daughter. Watching on, Steve could sense she had found peace, and that first year when he came home, it was tough to transition back to living stateside and not being at sea or overseas somewhere fighting for his country, but it was Danny, Kono and Chin that helped him become at peace with the idea of being here permanently.
"I was wondering when I was going to see you again Sistah", he exclaimed as a way of starting a conversation with the beautiful brunette sitting next to Steve, "Awww Kammie, get over here and give me a hug", She stood up and walked the short distance to where he was and hugged him tight, "I missed seeing your smiling face around here as well". Pulling away, she smiled brightly at those words, "Well get used to seeing me around more often because I'm also here to stay". He was ecstatic to hear those words, he knew the big kuhna was lonely without his lady around and though he knew he had dated after Catherine, those women would never live up to Catherine who was just so much like Steve and understood him in a way no one else could.
"That's wonderful to hear Sistah, I don't often do this, but for today, lunch is on the house, Nahele will be over in a moment to take your order". That was big news for Kamakona to hear, Mary, Joan and Catherine all moving back to the island, how could he not take the time to celebrate that news, even in the midst of a tragedy. "Wow, Kamakona, I'm touched brother", Steve spoke up and smiled hearing that he was planning on giving them their meals for free, "I hope you know we do plan on getting some to go for the rest of the five-o team". The business entrepreneur smirked and chuckled, "Don't push your luck McGarrett". He looked over at the crowded truck, "I should get over there to help Flippa, I'll tell Nahele to come over and get your orders so you don't have to wait in line".
Once he was gone, Steve smiled softly as Joan opened her colouring book and Mary and Catherine began talking about what they both wanted to eat from the shrimp truck. Neither of them had eaten from here in a while, and there was always so many amazing meals on the menu to eat. Steve knew exactly what he was going to have, so he sat in silence watching what was going on around him, the breeze of the ocean picking up and making the girls hair wave around in the wind, and he knew he was right where he belonged.
Author's Notes
Beginning to feel like a broken record here but again, I just want to thank you all for sticking by my story and continuing to support my writing. I have never gotten this far in a fan fiction before getting a bit of writers block and unfocused so I am really grateful to you all for reading and being patient with me whilst I find a way to balance full time work with my personal life and my hobby of writing. I am really proud of how this story is coming along and I hope you are all still enjoying it as well. I really hope you enjoyed me bringing in Kamakona as well. I have tried my best to make all the characters sound how they on the show and act as they do on the show so I hope I have done justice to one of my favourite minor characters.
P.S: The next chapter has a bigger author note as well.

No, it wasn't your own error, not sure why it did that. Thank you, I am glad you like that. Where my Mum works at the library, they have a program where kids who don't have a lot of self confidence can read out loud to a dog so they can practise public speaking to gain confidence so I wanted to add that in as well. I haven't read it before but I have read it today to get a feel of what you are talking about and that is pretty much spot on for how I'd most likely want to approach it for my own smut. I'd prefer to avoid using incorrect terminology for certain things (I think you probably get an idea of what I mean without me using examples haha) so I do think I have a frame of reference to work out a smut chapter in my own words. I like being detailed in the actual sex act but also love to bring their own thoughts and feelings into it as well. I really appreciate your words, it means a lot to me. I've recently been bullied by an ex friend online who didn't tell me directly but mentioned to someone else in a public comment on social media that I wasn't a very good writer even though she had told me before I was one of the best writers she had role played with (Just her being vindictive I guess in saying to someone else I wasn't) so I really appreciate you saying my chapters are well written, it truly means the world to me. Whenever I do feel insecure about my writing, I think of all the support I have gotten here and on the other fan fiction site I post my stories on.
