A/N: sorry for the hiatus but have been quite busy with some things but plan on adding more chapters to come

Danny watched as the group walked into Hilton Garden Rooftop Bar&Grill and smirked, "Was nice working with you again."

JJ nodded, "Danny, Kono, and Chin Ho this is my wife Jessica and daughter Emma."

They all shake hands as sit down, "So can see why JJ has been hanging out with you so much."

Chin was smirking, "How long have you known him?"

"Steve and me went to middle and high school together here on Honolulu before moved away," she told them earning few looks. "JJ, Travis and us all grew up with one another which was loads of fun. Can tell you so many stories."

Steve interrupted her, "Please don't."

"Oh please continue," Danny told her smiling. "Never get anything good."

"Was one time we got ahold of some tequila when all about 13 and decided to give it a try-"

JJ stopped her, "If remember that it was your father's alcohol that swiped and your idea."

"Someone got the idea to see who could drink the most shots before getting sick. Steve and Travis lasted the longest long after we did but ended at the same time when JJ smacked both of them on the back both throwing up on one another. Luckily was a long weekend for school and somehow got away with camping out in this treehouse that was in Travis backyard."

Kono was laughing, "Now that sounds like typical teenage antics who hasn't done that?"

JJ rolled his eyes at his wife, "Whose idea was it when we decided to take the dirt bikes out one early morning around the forest and no one was paying attention to where was actually going and turned out got totally lost in middle of nowhere?"

She asked, "I recall someone dad sent out search party?"

Steve made a face, "Only after we were gone all afternoon."

In the morning, Steve was the first one to wake up and when he went downstairs found Matt sitting on the couch watching cartoons with CJ in his bouncer and headed outside to go for a morning run and by the time he got back Catherine was making breakfast, "Morning."

She smiled and kissed her, "Was a fun night."

She pat his cheek, "Need to catch up with them more often."

"What to get more funny stories out of both of them? Thought didn't care?"

"I have my ways to find out things about anyone but that's why trying to start up that business."

He made a cup of coffee, "You can always stay on with 5-0 if you want to up to you."

She looked at the boys and sighed, "I know just don't know what really want to do now that actually out of the Navy and whole thing with Freddy."

"It doesn't matter what you end up doing in the end as long as you're happy."

"JJ said the same thing and he has some connections that can lead somewhere if want to go down military road again. Seems can keep looking at the private protection angle more if wish...just don't really know."

Matt ran over, "Can we go to the mall after school?"

"How come buddy?" Steve asked.

"I want to get someone a birthday present that's coming up."

He had an idea where son was going, "Yeah, once you get out of school will pick you up."

It wasn't long before making sure he was off to school and Catherine was back on the beach sitting down watching the waves crash along the shore. She still had some thinking to do when comes to what wanted to do since she had planned on continuing with protection firm with Freddy but now that he had passed wasn't sure what to do. Governor Denning had offered her a position with 5-0 if she wanted to.
