this is a few weeks after the last chapter and got the idea for the case off a episode of CSI NY and thought of way to add a case for them

The team had been given the weekend off due to their long string of cases that had been working and looked forward to doing something and since Grace had been wanting to go to the zoo for a while and Matt wanted to go Danny and Steve thought would be a good time to go with the kids. Matt woke up before anyone else in the house and snuck into his father's room before bouncing on the end of the bed causing him to wake up but before the little boy noticed he scooped him up tickling him, "Daddy! Stop!"

Steve stopped letting them both catch their breath before glancing at the clock, "What are you doing up so early?"

"I want to go see all of the animals at the zoo- now."

He lifted him up placing him between Catherine and him so both could lay down, "First, have to wait for Grace and Danny to get here for breakfast. Next, have to wait for Cath to wake up in the morning."

He covered his mouth shushing him, "Have to be quiet no wake Cat up."

"Yep," he kissed side of his head. "She gets cranky if we wake her."

Matt yawned and laid down on his chest, "Okay, sleep a little longer."

/*/*/*/

The next time Steve woke up he laid his son back on the bed asleep and looked to see his fiancé was curled up under the blanket so he headed out for his morning run and opted for a short swim so by the time he got back inside Doris was already in the kitchen reading the morning paper, "Morning Steve."

He grabbed a bottle of water, "Morning," he greeted her before heading upstairs taking a shower and throwing on pair of dark cargo shorts with a gray t-shirt and headed downstairs pouring himself some coffee just as Matt walked down the stairs joining them so Doris set him at the island. "Morning buddy."

Matt smiled as passed him cup of juice, "Morning daddy and Doris."

She kissed top of his head before sitting next to him, "Got some plans for today? Suppose to be great outside not too hot."

"Daddy and Danny are taking us to the zoo," Matt answered her. "Gracie and me are going to have so much fun there, right?"

"That's what Danno said from the last time he took her there had a blast so will be fun."

There was a knock at the door minutes later while he was making pancakes as Grace ran inside before sitting next to her friend, "Hi uncle Steve. Matt."

Steve didn't turn to face her, "Morning Gracie. Morning Danno."

Bryan walked in pouring himself some coffee, "Morning Matt, Gracie and Danny."

"So Bryan are you coming with us today?" she asked him the adults were sure she had a bit of a crush on the teen since the first time she had met him and loved anytime that she had the chance to do anything with him even if someone else was always around them but she would deny it.

He pat her on the head, "Sorry have practice game today for playoff's that start next week."

Steve set the last of food on the island and headed upstairs to master bedroom to see she was still asleep so he sat on edge of the bed running a hand over her back landing on her belly smirking as felt something kick his hand lightly and watched her open her eyes glaring at him, "Always knows when doing that."

He leaned over kissing her, "Have no idea what you're talking about Cath."

She took his hand so could help her sit up, "Going to ignore hearing you calling me cranky when get woken up."

"That was to Matt so didn't wake you up wanting to go to the zoo at four in the morning."

She kissed him once again, "Just like someone else likes to wake up early in the morning for sure. To bad can't come with. After to keep up with paperwork if want to ensure get the amount of leave I want at the right time even if my CO is always riding me about one thing or another everyday that am there."

"He's just mad going to lose you for almost a year," he kissed her once again. "Only another 10 weeks and get out of there for 8 months."

"Doctor's appointment is before all of you leave this morning," she reminded him. "Taking the kids?"

"Think Danny can handle Matt for a while and Bry can be dropped off at school on the way there for some practice."

Danny looked up as he walked downstairs, "Wondering if you fell in up there."

"Haha, funny. Think can handle Matt while take her to see doctor and drop Bry at the school?"

Catherine came down in jeans and tank top, "Were going to be late."

The ride to doctors office was filled with talking about trip to the zoo and her work as they pulled up outside the office, "Sure want to know what going to have?" She asked him. "I know you hate surprises."

He opened his door and walked around opening hers before heading inside where he leaned against a wall as she got to the front desk, "Morning Jenna."

The woman behind the desk smiled, "Good to see that could drag Mr Handsome over there here this time. No munchkin?"

"Left him with his uncle Danny getting ready for trip to the zoo," she said. "He had to come my ride car is in the shop today."

"Well, can head to room three and he will be in a few minutes."

They walk to the room and he helps her sit on the exam table not missing him feeling tense, "You good sailor?"

"You know don't sailors don't always have their land legs," someone said as walked into the room. "Commander good to see you this time."

The two men shook hands, "Not much of a choice and didn't want to miss this."

He checked things over and smirked, "Everything is looking good but think maybe could use with cutting down your hours to a few days a week and maybe think about working from home," he told her. "Seems blood pressure is a little high and that could be from the stress that's associated with your work."

She nodded, "As long as get a note for my CO."

The doctor nodded and moved over the ultrasound machine, "Think can do that and seems like will make a few people happy," he squirted some gel on her belly and moved the wand over it. "You want to find out?" They both nodded and both men could tell and let her see. "What you think mommy?"

"Looks like will be out numbered 3-to-1 in the house full of men."

Both guys laugh and she smacks his stomach, "Just wait until we get alone."

He looked at his watch, "If you want to get home and then to work we need to get leaving."

The doctor handed him a few pictures, "I am happy for both of you so see you in a few weeks but take it easy."

Danny looked up as there was a knock at the door and Kono and Chin walked in as Gracie and Matt both ran at them hugging both of them. Danny grinned as they walked into the kitchen setting both kids back in their seats and pour themselves some coffee and see Danny shaking his head, "Where's the boss?" Kono asked. "Thought he would be here."

Bryan smirked, "Had a doctor's appointment a little bit ago but think it's important."

Steve and Catherine walked back inside, "Hey, everyone is here."

"So you going to tell us what the doctor said?" Danny asked. "Look like happy."

She handed around a picture, "Seems like Kono and me will be more outnumbered by the amount of guys around here."

Kono hugged her, "Good to hear that. Matt will be happy for a little brother."

Chin hugged her and shook his hand, "Glad for both of you."

Gracie frowned, "Thought would have a girl to play with this time."

Danny and Gaby were expecting around the same time, "You will have a chance," they hadn't told her what were having. "We found out other day is going to be a girl and boy."

"Only you would have the luck to be having twins," Bryan said messing with his friend. "Least one girl out of the three at least."

"Was thinking the same thing," Danny said. "Will have to see what happens with that for sure."

"So will have another little brother/sister?" Danny nodded but loved how happy she was. "Going to be such a great big sister."

Steve pulled the Camaro outside the Honolulu Zoo and helped Matt out of his booster seat as Gracie hopped out of the back and grabbed the backpack that had some snacks that thought was best to bring along for the kids and placed the little boy on his hip as Danny took the bag from him, "What you think monkey?"

"Hm, has been so long since been here," she told them. "Mom should bring Charlie here. He will love it."

Danny led them to the gate and got them passes inside, "Where to first?"

Steve handed both kids a camera, "Can use these and good thing their both made for kids so wont break."

"Danno can we go see the fishes," Gracie asked them. "Looks like so much fun."

Danny watched as Grace walked ahead of them, "Don't get to far ahead of us monkey."

She stopped in front of one of the exhibits, "Danno, come look at the sharks they look so cool."

Matt was set on the ground catching up with his friend, "Wow, so cool Grace."

"You can get up-close looks at reef sharks, Hawaiian monk seals, reef fish, rays, jellyfish and many other ocean inhabitants. One of the more unique exhibits is the Mahi Hatchery, which displays young mahimahi," Danny said reading one of the signs that listed the different exhibits around the aquarium. "Looks like will be here a while."

Matt pulled on his arm once almost out, "Daddy I am thirsty," he was handed a juice box. "Thanks."

Grace spotted a sign, "Danno can we go and see the Dolphin Show that starts in 10 minutes, please?"

Both men lead them over to the bleachers there the show was being held, "This looks like will be some fun monkey."

After a short while Matt was getting bored, "Sorry, will get him out of here but stay here."

Both nodded as they walked off, "Buddy you okay?"

"Yeah, just have a headache daddy," he said and smirked as Steve took off his sunglasses handing them over along with some juice and children's Tylenol. "Hungry."

They walked over grabbing some popcorn and finding their friends again, "Feeling okay?" Danny asked his partner.

"The sun was getting to him and a headache so leant him my shades," he saw the look from him. "What's that look for?"

"Never seen you give up your shades for anyone."

After the show was over they wandered around looking at the different exhibit that were in the area like the Stingray Lagoon, Sea Turtle Lagoon and Sea Bird Sanctuary and Dolphin Cove.

Matt held up his arms to be picked up so Steve did, "Your turn to pick buddy."

He looked over the map of animals, "I want to see the giraffe's and monkeys first."

Grace grinned, "Than can we see the elephants and tigers?"

/*/*/*/

They made their way around the park and one of the last places they were seeing was the tigers since Matt wanted to see them and he was about ready to fall asleep and Grace was more tha happy to head home after Danny had promised to bring her back at another time to see the last few exhibits. Matt didn't move from his father's arms as got to the place but covered his ears when one of the tigers was off to the side tearing apart something that seemed to be in the cage, "Danno, what's he eating?" Grace asked. "Looks weird."

Steve looked over at what she pointed out, "Danno get the kids back," he leaned over whispering. "Looks like someone fell inside the cage."

Danny sighed taking the little boy from his father, "Will take them to the gift shop and wait for you there."

Grace followed him as Steve alerted the park officials who tranquillized the tiger, "What you think happened?" He asked the head zoo keeper. "I am 5-0."

He nodded, "At first glance it seems someone fell over the side of the exhibit but HPD is on their way here soon. I am sorry that the kids had to see the animal attack the man."

/*/*/*/

Kono and Chin arrived soon after getting the call from Steve about the attack along with CSU in hopes that it was just an accident and saw Grace was wandering around the Gift Shop while Danny was leaning against a wall with Matt in his arms clutching a tiger and cheetah in his arms but fast asleep, "Wear the kid out?"

Danny nodded careful not to wake him, "He had to see the tiger get the man but likes the other ones to bad Grace is the one that pointed something was wrong."

Kono pat him on the arm, "She doesn't seem to be affected but if she says something talk to her about what happened."

A man walked over to them, "I am the zoo director and heard about what the children saw and here to present year passes to get in here when were open."

They watched him walk off and Steve come over, "What we got boss?" Kono asked him.

Steve looked over to where Grace was looking at something, "He was shot and tied up before being tossed in with the tigers."

Kono sighed, "I can take the kids back to the office and wait for Catherine or Gabby to pick them up."

Chin walked off helping her put the booster seat in her car before she put him in the backseat and Grace climbed into the front seat, "See you back at the office."

"Can we stop off and get some lunch?" Grace asked. "I am hungry."
