at the suggestion ofloveRnBdid rewrite some of the last chapter to show that he didn't just let the man get away with the whole thing
Gracie smiled as she ran inside and found Catherine making a salad and she hopped on a stool to help her while the two partners set the kids somewhere. Matt and Bryan came home and the little boy ran into the room snickering before he jumped on Danny who spun around trying to grab the giggling child. Steve took pity on his partner and pulled him off, "Have good day?"
Once set on the ground he ran to grab his project showing the whole team and extended families, "I drew this for school our ohana."
Bryan grabbed a bottle of water, "His teacher said she was glad he has such a huge and loving family."
Gracie looked around the corner at them, "What we having for dinner?"
"Uncle Steve and me are grilling some steaks and hamburgers," Danny told his daughter.

After dinner was over and eaten everyone had found their way outside making sure to grab the baby monitor while Gracie and Matt played in the sand unaware of the anxiety that was plaguing the adults but the teen could sense something had happened, "So bad end to your case?"
Danny looked up from his beer, "Let's say that he about caused Duke and a few cops to have a heart attacks."
Everyone but Steve was laughing, "Anything to do with the Bomb Squad reporting to a home?" he got looks. "It was all over the radio after school."
"Something like that but shouldn't you get to bed? Have SAT/ACT in the morning," he reminded his brother.
Gracie saw he was leaving so ran over giving him a hug, "Night Bry."
He kissed the top of her head, "Night Gracie."
Soon they put the other kids in bed saying Danny could spend the night since he was unable to drive while Catherine was curled up against his side asleep, "You weren't really going to let him go were you?"
His partner shrugged as he sipped his beer, "What you think Danny?"
"That you were pissed at the man for almost killing two people but the good Seal inside you told you it wasnt worth it."
"According to you not worth all of the paperwork would cause you-"
"Or the headache for Denning," she said softly.
Steve ran a hand over her bare shoulder, "He almost killed Kono and Catherine because he's so paranoid and killing his fiancé who may have been cheating on him with someone else but Duke is looking into his background to see if something else will pop up."

In the morning Bryan thought he would be the first one up after all the drinking the others had been doing the night before but found Catherine sitting at the island drinking some coffee but she jumped a little when he was in her line of sight, "Didn't mean to spook you. All good?"
She nodded and sipped her coffee, "Yeah, just a long day."
He handed her some Tylenol, "After yesterday am sure Kono and you should be a little jumpy."
"How you know was us?"
"Just something that picked up after all look who hangout with all the time," he told her earning a smile. "Plus, heard was two female officers from 5-0."
She rolled her eyes at the teen, "Thanks for that but don't you need to get going?"
He waved her off as sipped his coffee, "I have sometime before need to leave and pick Jessica up."
"So how's everything going between the two of you anyways?"
He couldn't help but blush, "Going pretty good I think but still haven't talked about what our thing is. Remind you of anyone?"
Danny walked into the room with one of the twins, "Don't pull something like those two and wait to tell her how you feel. All of us could tell they wanted each other since day one that we met her but how long had they been dancing around those feelings?"
Gracie ran into the room smiling, "Danno, since we have the weekend free can we go to the fair?"
He looked at his partner who walked into the room, "Ask uncle Steve since he loves those kinds of rides."
The little girl turned to her uncle with puppy-dog eyes, "PLEASE UNCLE STEVE!"
"I have nothing else to do so ask aunt Catherine and Kono?"
She ran off to grab her dad's phone and dialed Kono who answered on the third ring, "Hello?"
"Hi aunt Kono. The fair is this weekend and wondering if you want to come with? Danno doesn't like the rides so much and uncle Steve loves them."
Kono dried her hair glancing at her boyfriend, "Sure, what you-"
"Can I ask uncle Adam and Chin? Are they there with you?"
Kono whispered something before handing him the phone and walking away to find her cousin, "Good morning Grace."
"Were planning on going to the fair tomorrow and wanted to know if would come with?"
He raised an eyebrow at the two cousins, "Sure sounds like would be fun."
Chin took the phone, "Good morning Gracie."
"Morning Chin, so are you coming?"
"And miss out seeing Danny and uncle Steve compete those games no way."
She laughed, "That will be so fun. See you tomorrow."
Danny looked up from his coffee as she ran back into the room, "So what they say?"
"Aunt Kono along with uncle Chin and Adam are coming with."
