Heartbreaker

I dedicate this chapter to the lovely Guest, who loves, loves, loves, loves every single one of these One-Shots. And who find the Mpreg stuff just tooooooo lovely. Hope you like this one.

Kono lifted her head from the evidence that have been found at the crime scene. "Isn't that your cell, boss?"

"Huh?" Steve looked at her.

"Your phone's ringing."

Steve answered without even glancing at it to see who was calling. "Mc Garrett."

"Steve?" Danny's voice sounded strained. "I'm in labor. I'm in a taxi on the way to the hospital."

"Whoa… Ohmygod. I-I'm on my way."

"You might-" Danny groaned and panted into the phone. "You might want to hurry. The contractions are coming on strong, babe."

"You just worry about getting to the hospital safely. I'll be there as soon as I can." Steve ended the call, his gaze on Kono as he said, "I have to go. The baby's coming."

With a grin Kono shoved Steve towards his car, "Go on, daddy!"

Steve's nerves were strung tight by the time he finally arrived at the hospital. After parking, he hustled inside and hopped in the elevator, riding it up to the sixth floor. As he exited and turned right, Steve stopped at the maternity ward registration.

"Hi. I'm Steve McGarrett. I'm here to see my husband, Danny Williams-McGarrett."

The nurse behind the desk, an elderly woman, looked away from the computer and met Steve's eyes. "Congratulations Mr. McGarrett, your husband gave birth to a healthy baby girl."

We have a girl…

Suddenly tears welled in Steve's eyes as disappointment crashed through him. He was overjoyed that Danny and his daughter were fine, but not being there for the delivery was something he'd never forgive himself for missing. He'd desperately yearned to see their child come into the world. Not being there for her first breath or her first cry broke his heart, Steve took a deep breath and calmed his racing pulse.

The nurse came out from behind the desk, and gave Steve a friendly pat on the shoulder. "If you'll just follow me, I'll bring you to your husband and daughter."

"Hey babe." Danny said as Steve strode over to the hospital bed, where he sat holding the little baby girl. Steve sat beside him and leaned in to kiss his husband then gazing down at the baby. He couldn't see much more than a wrinkled little face and bright red lips that kept puckering and releasing, as if she was dreaming about sucking a bottle.

"She's beautiful, Danny."

"She is, isn't she?" Danny gazed down at their daughter. "Do you want to hold her?"

Danny gently handed over the baby to Steve. The SEAL cradled the little girl in one arm, against his chest. Gazing down at his daughter, he traced the arc of her forehead and the curve of her plump little cheek. She was so pink… and perfect. He couldn't get over it. With sparse blonde hair, a tiny button nose, and a rosebud mouth, she was the most beautiful thing he'd ever seen.

Her eyelashes fluttered and lifted, revealing eyes of the deepest blue, and Steve felt his heart ache from all the sudden flood of emotion. He gazed down at his daughter and said the only thing that popped into his mind. "Hello, Madison Williams-McGarrett. I'm your dad."

And as if Danny had reading his earlier thoughts, the blonde said, "She's going to be a little heartbreaker, babe."
