He didn't need to look behind him to know who was following him, "Leave me alone Steve."
He dropped next to him, "I know what's bothering you. Your friend was killed three years ago in a car accident."
"Guess the old man told you about that? He was riding his bike on the way to see me that day when was hit by a drunk driver."
"It takes a while to get use to the idea but shouldn't try to get on with your life."

A few weeks later, Gabby was due in two weeks and Catherine was due in three weeks. Steve and Danny both were on the mainland for some court hearing so they had decided to go shopping. Catherine pulled up to the mall and headed to Baby 'R' Us and grabbed somethings that needed before heading to the food court. Gabby had been ignoring her Braxton hicks all morning until one hit and could hear something like water running, "Damn it think water broke."
The ride to the emergency room was quick and they were forced to wait so Catherine pulled out her phone dialing Steve, "Yeah, Cath? What? Where are you?"
"Were at the hospital waiting room right waiting to be seen."
"I will talk to Danny and see what can do about getting back to the island soon."
She hung up and sighed, "Should be heading back here soon."
A nurse took them back to a room, "How far along are you?
She sat on the table, "38 weeks with twins."
The nurse examined her, "Your water didn't break all the way but is leaking so will admit you upstairs."
Catherine sent Danny the new information, "This is going to be a long few days."
/*/*/*/
Danny and Steve got back there a few hours later and found the room where she was in to see that Catherine was asleep in a chair next to the bed that had a puddle of water under her. Steve rested a hand on her shoulder but she opened her eyes slowly smacking his hand away, "Go away."
Danny rolled his eyes at his friend, "Looks like neither of us will have a good night there partner."
She yawned as looked at him, "What are you two talking about?"
He ran a hand down her back whispering, "Think that water broke while asleep."
After she was examined was determined she was also in labor so she was put in the room next to hers so Danny pulled out his phone and sent a text to Rachael about what was going on so that she knew why he couldn't pick Gracie up that night for their weekend together but would when the twins were born. Steve had sent text to Bryan telling him the same thing.
Kono knocked on the door and Danny opened it and walked out, "Thanks for the bag Kono."
She pat him on the shoulder, "Not sure want to be here for hours stuck in a suit the whole time."
He gave her a hug, "He's in the room there so should be a long night."
Chin pat him on the shoulder, "Figured that the two of them would go at the same time."

After 25 hours of labor the twins were born and then a twenty minutes later Catherine had the baby. Kono had left to grab Bryan and Matt from home and Gracie from her mom's place. Gracie was sitting on the porch when she pulled up and ran over, "Ready to go?"
She threw her bag in the trunk, "So am a big sister finally?"
Bryan nodded from the front seat at her, "Yep, your dad called a little bit ago to say the twins were ready for visitors."
Danny was waiting outside the door smiling as heard her running over, "Danno, sooooo?"
He lifted her up kissing her on the temple, "Glad that made it want to meet brother and sister?"
He carried her into the room where Gabby was holding a pink bundle so he set her on the ground and lifted blue bundle up, "So what are their names?"
Gabby yawned, "Jacklyn Kelly and Tyler Randall."
She sat in a chair smiling, "Can I hold them Danno?"
He set Tyler in her arms making sure supporting the head and took a picture, "You going to be good big sister."
She kissed him on top of the head, "He looks like you."
He changed out the baby, "And she looks like you did when were born."
In the other room, Matt ran over where Steve was waiting outside the room, "Daddy."
He scooped him up smiling, "Hey there little man. Ready to meet little brother?" he nodded and headed into the room where Catherine was sitting up in bed. "Up for some visitors?"
She nodded and shifted a little so Matt could sit on the bed and put the baby in his arms, "What's his name daddy?"
Steve and Bryan sat in chairs, "Christopher Jeremiah."
"Does he look like Matt did when he was born?" Bryan asked.
Steve nodded took a picture, "Surprisingly, like both of you did when you were born but smaller."
/*/*/*/
Both Gabby and Catherine stayed there two days and headed home but had made plans to have dinner at Steve's with everyone there. Matt was running outside when heard someone at the gate he ran over smiling as Gracie walked through hugging him, "Gracie your here."
She took his hand running towards where toys were and Danny came in holding both carriers, "Morning kiddo."
Matt waited until he set them down before throwing himself into his arms, "Uncle Danny."
Danny scooped him up, "So how's it going being a big brother?"
"So cool and help Catherine and daddy up with CJ."
Grace ran over to where Catherine was, "Can I hold him?"
Catherine led her hold him, "So you like having little brother and sister?"
"Its much different from when mom had Charlie," she told him. "But with a lot louder with two babies around the house."
Kamekona walked in with some food, "Big Kahuna and Jersey good to see you."
Kono took the bags from him, "Didn't have to big anything."
"Just brought some brownies that had made since little kahuna is allergic to seafood."
