Chin had gotten off the phone with Denning when he heard a noise coming from the bed next to him and surprised to see Kono staring at him but he could tell shr was in pain so he hit the button and she smirked as the door opened, "Look whose up," Danny said. "How you feeling?"

"My chest and back hurt," he said softly. "What happened?"

Chin told her what they knew had happened, "Go back to sleep cuz."

Danny pat him on the shoulder, "Were stuck here at least for the night but how about we get some dinner? SuperSeal and his buddies said the food onboard is bad," they got directions to the mess hall from one of the sailors and headed there. "Guess an acquired taste."

Dr Carter sat next to them passing around coffee, "How are you two holding up?"

"A lot better than my partner is," he told him. "He ran off somewhere to maybe make a few calls to get off this boat."

Steve walked over, "Daniel its a ship not a boat theirs a big difference."

"I don't care what you call it but now I am stuck on another boat in middle of the damn ocean with you. Every time I go anywhere with you something happens because you're a trouble magnet where ever np matter what were doing."

"Are they always like this?" the doctor asked Chin.

"When he's mad tends to rant about something," he told him. "So yeah."

"And this time even threw in a gunfight and of course you get hurt."

Steve sipped his coffee, "Are you done? Because food and coffee are getting cold."

Chin shook his head, "Kono woke for a few minutes but not sure she remembers anything. Denning has given us the next week off."

A few hours later by morning the storm had hit and was rocking the ship but the Admiral had found them a room not far from sick bay to stay until it passed. Chin took a turn staying with them in the room while Danny went in search of his partner and last resort he checked the door and found him staring at the ocean, "Only a Seal would be out here."

He didn't turn around but answered, "What are you going on about Danno?"

The blonde man rolled his eyes, "Been looking for you all over this damn ship thought had went rogue on us. What are you doing out here?"

Chin knocked on the door and opened it, "Uh, she's starting to have a nightmare thought might want to help."

Steve rushed into the room to see that only one there was his friend so he sat on edge of the bed, "Sh, your safe," he kept whispering as rubbed her back. It took about ten minutes for her to calm down and soon her breathing even out. "It's okay Cath I am right here you're fine," he could feel her body relax and he laid her back down and he did the same and on instinct she curled up into his side with her head on his chest. "I love you Cath."

Kono woke up and could see them asleep on the next bed and she was happy for her boss, "You good boss?"

He glanced over at the other bed, "Will be but glad you're okay," she winced in pain. "Get some sleep will be here a while."

Another ten hours later they got a helicopter back to Pearl but it was still choppy ride there and the landing wasn't all to pleasant. Danny smiled as he looked around the airstrip when Chin tapped him on the shoulder pointing to where Gracie ran into his arms, "Danno, you're okay. How are they?"

He lifted her into a hug, "A bit sore but will be just fine but staying the day here."

They followed the group inside and waited in the waiting room with Chin and Steve while Dr Carter got them into a suite for the day. Danny watched as his partner paced around the room not missing when Matt ran into the room and his partner scooped him up, "Daddy, I heard that you found them. Are they okay?"

He leaned against the wall, "A bit sore but with some rest they will be just fine."

Bryan stood in the doorway, "Has been asking when can see you since Danny called and told Gabby found both of them." Took them about an hour to get the woman situated in a room with a few guards outside the room and wait until Catherine woke up.

Dr Carter walked into the room seeing the two kids asleep each in their father's lap so Chin joined him, "Something wrong?"

"Steve already knows this but we have to watch out for pneumonia at this point because of the punctured lung so the faster she wakes up the better."

"Getting it will make a recovery longer?" the man nodded. "Thanks doc for everything."

"Steve and me have been friends since high school at the Naval Academy and joined the Navy and Seals together. One mission had injured my knee pretty badly but he was there to make sure made it back home that was my last time in the field," they looked around the room. "He always said she was is best medicine and have treated both of them more times that would like. You know that they had been fighting their feelings since Anacostia? Took them long enough."

"I was there when he first asked her for help on a case that we knew about and could tell there was something there but their good for each other."

He pat him on the shoulder, "I would find them both a good psychologist to talk to and sure can find one for you that wont tell the governor."
