Chapter eight

It was getting late and Danny had just gotten home from Steve's and so he came in quietly knowing at least Charlie and maybe Rachel would be asleep.. Grace was a bit of a night owl like himself and would most likely up watching a movie or talking to her friends but when he went into their bedrooms to say check on them, they were both fast asleep, Grace in bed with her little brother..

Putting his hand over his heart at that little scene, he smiled softly to himself.. Even when they all believed that Charlie was Stan's son, Grace always treated her brother exactly the same way and Danny made sure to allow them time together even when it was his weekends or weeks to have Grace.. Now seeing them together, it made him feel good knowing he had instilled that protective nature in his eldest.

Turning off the light in the hallway, he walked towards his own bedroom, his heart racing a little at the thought of Rachel being in bed.. They had been staying together for a while now, since Grace's accident and he knew he still loved her, though he still knew they had a long way to go before they decided if they should get re-married or anything more serious like that. Standing at the doorway, he smiled seeing her reading a book with her reading glasses on, and one of his old oversized shirts she used to like to wear.

Resting his arm on the door, he smiled, "So, how did it go tonight?", he asked her in a low voice, Rachel turning her head to look at him, pulling her glasses off as she did, "It was a lovely evening.. It was nice to spend time with my mother and the kids, I heard she ambushed you as well", she smirked, putting the end of her glasses in her mouth for a moment, knowing how he would have reacted to that, "something about an intentions speech or something along those lines".

Smiling, he nodded his head and chuckled, moving his hand off the door and walking further into the bedroom, "ambush is right, but it was fine.. We actually got to clear the air, and talk nicely for once.. and yes she did give me the intentions speech, I think she wants to see you and the kids happy which I can understand.. I mean I am still thinking of giving young Will Grover that same speech when they are a little older if they are still dating as well".

As Danny got undressed and ready for bed, Rachel smiled softly, "You do realise you can't pull the old I'm a cop and got a gun routine on him.. His father is a cop as well, and might I add, one of your closest friends as well so you can't treat William the same way you would treat any other boy". Danny knew that, and he respected Lou, and Will was a good boy, he really came through for them at that prom party, and was pretty good background.. "Yeah, I know.. I just.. I don't want her to grow up too quickly".

Putting her book down on the bedside table, she smiled and held her hand out to him, and he took it as he sat down on the bed, and interlaced their fingers together. "Wether we want to admit it or not Daniel, she is growing up, and I think we can feel safe in the knowledge that we brought her up right and that she knows right from wrong.. Danny, both William and Grace have come from good family backgrounds with two parents that have nurtured them and guided them, we raised her right, even the way she stood up for her friend at that party, and that is something we should be proud of".

She smiled as she let go of his hand and then put her glasses on top of her book, then crawled over till she was settled in his lap, her knees resting on the bed, straddling him, her arms around his shoulders, her forehead resting on his as she gazed into his eyes, "I love how you love our children Danny and how protective you are of them.. When you moved to Hawaii just to be closer to Grace, that showed me you were going to continue to be an amazing father, and part of me wanted you all over again seeing you make such a huge sacrifice, moving away from your family to be closer to us".

He was about to speak, and she put her finger over his lips to silence him, and smiled softly.. "When Steve called me to tell me you were in the hospital and had been poisoned, all I could think about was how we never got our second chance, and then after you got better, and well enough to come out of hospital, I realised I never stopped loving you.. I'm so sorry I lied and told you Charlie was Stan's.. I remembered waiting at the airport to leave, and in in that moment, I recalled when Steve called, and I put walls up, I chose to go with the safer option, the one that wouldn't make me a widow and my children fatherless".

His hands resting on her cheeks, and he leaned in, kissing her softly, showing her all the love he has for her in that one kiss.. "Growing up with my Dad as a firefighter, I can understand why you feel that way.. I know my Mother always worried about that, losing a husband and us losing a father, and joining the force, I knew that whoever I married or had a relationship with would feel that way as well, but I do hope that we can overcome this, and move forward.. Yes my job is dangerous, and I used to think that Steve would get me killed at the start of our partnership, but I trust him and I trust the other members of five-o to always have my back".

Seeing Steve and Catherine back together, Junior and Tani making goo goo eyes at each other and how much Renee and Lou loved each other, and then seeing the young love between his daughter and Lou Grover's son, it made him realise how much he yearned for that feeling back.. Being with Gabby and even Melissa had somewhat filled that hole, but nothing compared to how he felt when he was with Rachel. She had always been the one that got away, much like Catherine had been for Steve.

"A big part of why I came here was for Grace obviously, but I also came out here for you, I never stopped loving you, and though I at times wondered when it was all going to crumble, being married to you was the happiest time of my life and knowing we created two amazing little humans in Gracie and Charlie, that's our legacy.. I know this, here with us, we need to put a lot of work into it, but I know I want this.. I want you Rach, and I want to make this work with you.. Not just for Grace and Charlie, but for us, because I love you".

Gazing into his eyes, she smiled, hope filling her heart.. She might have been the one to end their marriage and to end their affair, she never stopped wanting him or loving him.. Pressing her body closer to him, her hips grinding down on his a little, smirking at the sound of his soft whimper, she leaned in, whispering into his ear, "I love you too Detective Williams", her voice low and seductive, thankful he had already closed the bedroom door, his arousal growing for her. He wanted her and right now, he knew she wanted him too, "and I want you", she added, the playfulness in her eyes.

Their chemistry was always special and that was part of why he couldn't ever deny her anything she wanted, his heart was racing and he kissed her passionately, moaning softly at the feel of her nipping at his lower lip, slowly unbuttoning the buttons on his shirt she was wearing, and gently pushed it off her shoulders, letting it fall behind her. Their kisses got heavier and her hips continued to grind against him, both moaning softly, breathing heavier as he changed position, laying her on her back, smiling down at her.

Her hands found his boxers and pulled them down, using her feet to tug them down further so she didn't have to move, both fo them giggling, and smiling, his own fingers sliding into her panties, tugging them off and letting them fall down her legs, his hands following down her thigh and her leg and then back up. He hadn't felt this way in a long time, and he was enjoying the exhilaration and excitement of being intimate with her.

Fingers moving down her body, and sliding inside her, and arching up to him, "Ohh god Danny", she moaned softly, her eyes closing as her legs spread a little, "Mmm such a turn on to feel how wet you are for me", he whispered, his thumb rubbing her clit, his other fingers thrusting inside her, her heavy breathing spuring him on, making him feel hard, his hips grinding against her, his balls rubbing against her thighs, kissing her deeper. Her hands finding their way to his hair, gripping his hair a little tight, her hips meeting his fingers, moaning a little louder when she felt her g-spot being stimulated.

Once he was sure she was wet enough, and aroused enough for him, he withdrew his fingers, causing her to whimper at the loss of his fingers, guiding himself to her entrance, and slowly, inch by inch, filling her up, their bodies pressed together, breathing heavily, their hips moving together, "Ohh Rach, yess", he moaned softly, kissing her deeply, and passionately. It was more then just to experience pleasure, this was more of a feeling of reconnecting, knowing the other was there for the other.. Being inside her, it felt like he was home..

"Ohh Danny, Mmm yess right there, Ohhhh don't stop", she hissed with pleasure at the feeling of him filling her up over and over, her body beginning to tremble a little, her arms and legs wrapping around him tighter, pushing him further into her.. It was slow and this right now, it made her recall their first time together which was much like now, slow and sweet, romantic, loving.. "Ohh Rachel, god I love you so much", he whispered, his lips moving from her lips to her neck, licking and sucking on her neck as he moved inside her, his hips starting to move a little faster.

"I love you too Danny", her soft low voice answered him, her body tingling with desire, and pleasure.. "Ohh god yess, Mmm please, don't stop, faster". She knew she wasn't going to last long at all, it had been so long since she had sex, this was the first time they had made love since getting back together, neither of them wanting to take that step till they were both sure, and now she was in his arms, feeling him buried inside her, she knew she didn't want anyone else except this man, the man she had said yes to, promised to love and protect him for better or worse, the man she had two children with, and as she realised all this, her body felt hot, tingly and all of a sudden, she erupted, her juices spilling, breathing harder, holding onto him as they continued to move against each other, panting and sweating, crying out his name as she came.

Both moving faster, Danny breathing harder, biting her neck gently when he felt her tense up around him and contract, his own climax finding it's way to him, his muscles tightening, his hips moving fast, panting quickly for breath, finally feeling his release, his load shooting inside her, moaning her name softly, riding out the waves of his orgasm with her, both of them laughing softly when they gazed into each others eyes, stoping and staring into her eyes, "I really do love you Rachel", He was still moving inside her, but a lot slower now, and he moved them so they were on their sides, bodies still close, "I love you too Daniel", she leaned in and kissed him as he pulled out of her and they both snuggled under the covers together.

His life as a cop might be dangerous, but after her talk with her mother that evening, she had decided he was worth the risk of being hurt, after all she was hurt not being with him all this time, especially being reminded how good it felt to be with him like this.. She knew a third marriage with her first partner and second time around for them would be risky but it's what she wanted.. She wanted to be his wife once more and share her families name again, falling asleep in his arms, she hoped that they still had many more years to share together.

Author Notes

Thank you all to who are still reading this story.. I got lost a long the way figuring out who was best for Danny, but deep in my heart, I think Rachel is the best choice for him.. They may fight, she might have kept things from him, I think they will always find a way back to each other just as Catherine and Steve always manage to. I am trying hard to keep all my stories as up to date as I possibly can so I hope to get some more done in the coming couple of weeks.

I really hope you enjoyed this chapter, as always I know you like these juicier chapters as well. I was trying to go for a bit more of a love making session then just sex, so hope that came through in this chapter.
