A/N: wasn't sure where to go after this with this so ended it with the guy still alive cause what's the fun if dead?
Catherine looked up from her spot where she was leaning against the wall to see Kono walk over and hand her some coffee, "Seems that your friend came through and made it out of there."
"That's the best way for it to end," she said smirking.
"Kerchief was shot in the chest but the guys plan on interrogating the man when he wakes up and your man was much help."
She drank some coffee, "When it comes to anything to do with Steve, James will do just about anything."
She pat her friends forearm, "They have a bromance going on there?"
"They went through navy training and then Seal training together after being best friends since were kids and lost contact when his dad had sent him to military school. Guess that friendship never really went away just seemed to strengthen with time."
Kono looked at Bryan who was asleep, "Like with the two of them? He never stopped idolizing his older brother after went to seals."
"Just like with Gracie every kid wants someone to look up to that can be their hero."
"Be the hero no matter how far apart they are or what may happen."

Steve and Danny walked into the hospital and after checking in on their suspect they headed down the hall to see Bryan was sitting up watching Despicable Me 2 with Matt and Chris, "Hey was starting to think that you had actually forgot that I am stuck in this place."
Danny chuckled and handed him a bag, "Brought you two some food but started to miss you."
Matt waved at them from spot on the bed, "Shush, watching the minions."
Steve smirked at his son, "Where's Catherine?"
"She was here and then had to take a call from somewhere and said would be back soon."
Danny sat in a chair, "So any idea when can spring you?"
"Can't get out of here to so that's for sure."
"You two are way to much a like. At least little man doesn't dislike the doctor."
Matt looked around and snatched a donut, "Ruining my movie."
Catherine was leaning against his truck when felt arms slip around her waist, "You okay lieutenant?"
She turned leaned her head against his chest, "That was my mom checking up on me. When they letting him out?"
"Day after tomorrow if all goes well but he's kicking me out for the night."
She couldn't help but laugh, "Why is that?"
"Gabby has the boys and something about one last night until the LA team goes back home."

Danny and Sam had arranged for the last night there would be spent drinking at the biggest place to house everyone for the evening McGarret house so when Steve pulled up to his place he wasn't surprised to see all of the cars there. Kono walked over handed them a drink, "Your two friends did this."
Sam and Steve share a look as Catherine rolled her eyes, "You two are almost as bad as Danny and you."
He leaned over kissing her, "And you know love all of it."
She smacked his chest sipping her beer, "Sometimes not sure why."
Danny spent sometime listening to Sam tell stories of things the two of them had done during their downtime from the seals and didn't miss the funny look his partner was shooting the man but in return they took turns telling different stories along with others throwing in some crazy one of their own.

A few days had passed and everyone had another few days off work still when Steve woke up around four to see the other side of the bed empty and found his wife coming out of the ocean so he hands her a towel and she pulls him in for a kiss, "Want to join me?"
"Thought you were finished?" he asked.
She shook her head, "Came out to invite you in with me for a race."
"What makes you think want to race you?"
"Because you need something that's a challenge and have yet to best me in a race."
They raced one another with her being small and faster she won but she made a beeline for the shore he wrapped an arm around her waist pulling her back into the water where end up making love right there and get out afterwards, "Am headed for the shower and not a navy one but should check on the kids."
