Five days later, Danny went back to work and Steve called him into his office.
"I already know what you're going to say. But it's my life and I'll make it whatever I want," Danny said to Steve before Steve even opened his mouth.
"I care about you, Danny. What are you thinking? How can you be with Susan after everything she's done to me?"
"Susan and I talked a lot when you left her for Catherine. And believe it or not, she and I have a lot in common," Danny answered.
"I didn't trade her for Catherine. My current relationship with Catherine started after Susan and I broke up," Steve replied.
"That's what you say," Danny told him.
"You'd rather believe Susan then? Susan is crazy!"
"You've made Susan crazy! It's your fixation on a woman who abandoned you twice that's done Susan sick. You two were doing just fine until Catherine showed up," Danny told Steve.
"Is it Catherine's fault? It's always Catherine's fault to you. You can't live with the fact that I forgave her. You say you forgave Rachel, but that's a lie! You still love her, but your pride keeps you from trying a new life with her."
Junior, Tani and Lou looked at each other while they listened to the discussion. "Don't go there," Lou told them.
"You don't really forgive Rachel, and that grudge of yours leads you to do crazy things like have sex in a barroom with a unknown woman and get involved with Susan. I've forgiven the woman of my life and I'm very happy with her. You're only welcome in my marriage if you don't take Susan," Steve stressed, left the office and went home.
Catherine was puting Kenny to sleepy when Steve got home.
"Hey. I didn't know you were coming home for lunch. I haven't prepared anything yet, Steve."
Steve sat on the couch and sighed. "It's okay, Cath. I'm not hungry."
Catherine realized he was upset and wanted to know what had happened. Steve told her about the fight with Danny.
"You're friends, Steve. You shouldn't be fighting," Catherine told him.
"I know, Catherine. Danny calls me an animal, but he's the donkey."
"Go with Daddy, son," Catherine put Kenny on Steve's lap and sat down next to him.
"Steve, Danny's an adult. You can advise him, but never decide for him. If people decided for you, especially Danny, we wouldn't be together today. Isn't true?" She told him gently.
"It's true," Steve answered.
"So you've already given your opinion, it's not your problem if he doesn't want to hear it. You can't get into a fight with each other."
"I told him he's not welcome at our wedding if he takes Susan. I'm afraid she'll do something against you or our son," Steve told her.
"Fine, I agree with you. We can't leave her near Kenny. But apologize to your best friend, okay?" Catherine kissed him and went to the kitchen to make something for lunch.
After lunch, Steve went back to work and went to Danny's office to apologize.
"Let's put it this way: I don't get involved in your relationship with Catherine, and you don't get involved in my relationship with Susan," Danny replied.
"Okay, Danny. Be happy. I love you, buddy," Steve said and left Danny's office.
"I love you, too," Danny grumbled as Steve left.
A month later, Steve and Catherine were married in the presence of their most distinguished guest, that was Kenny.
Catherine changed her mind and allowed Danny to take Susan to the wedding. She chose Mary to stay with Kenny during the wedding and no one dared to take Kenny off her lap. Joan took the wedding rings and the ceremony and the party went on without a hitch.
After the party they went to Maui for a few days because Steve would need to get back to work soon.
Steve woke up and Catherine was on the balcony of the hotel room looking at the sea. Steve hugged her from behind and passed his arm around her waist. "Good morning, Mrs. McGarrett."
"Hmm... Good morning! Isn't the day beautiful?" She asked.
"Yes, the day is beautiful."
Kenny grumbled in his crib to get his parents' attention.
Steve went to the crib and picked him up. "Hey, champ!"
Steve took him to the balcony and Catherine picked him up. "Good morning, my love."
"I must say, our boy is cooperating with our honeymoon. He slept almost all night," Steve told her.
"He's wonderful, isn't he?" Catherine told Steve.
"Yes, so are you." Steve kissed her under the bright rays of sun.
The end.
