She doesn't want anything to screw this up, or she doesn't want to be the problem for the ohana, She just wants peace, & a drama free life with Steve. Plus, She just wants to belong somewhere, & continue to do important things in the process, She was in deep thought, when Steve came in. "Penny for your thoughts ?", He asked, as he came up to her, wrapped his arms around her, & kissed the side of her neck.

"What if they don't like me ?", She asked softly, as she leaned into him, & was worried that she can ruin everything in a swoop for him. Steve just dismissed easily, & said this, as he reassured her. "They are gonna love you, I promise you, Cause, You just give off a great presence, No one would want to avoid", He said, as he pulled her into a hug. Lori knew that he was right, & she could handle anything, as long as he was there alongside of her. She kissed him, & said, "Ready to go ?", He nodded, & they closed, & locked everything up, & in a matter of minutes, They we're headed out to their desired destination.

When they got to the restaurant, Everyone was glad to see Steve back to his happy self, Plus, They were very welcoming to Lori. They included her in every conversation, & made sure that her opinions were heard. The Atmosphere was perfect, food was plentiful, & the drinks were pouring. Steve was glad that he got his wish, & the perfect evening was happening. Plus, He wants the important people in his life to get along, He won't back down, til he gets what he wants. It was just perfect way to have a great family outing, Without the drama, or the fuss.

The Girls decided to get some air, They went out to the balcony, where they can talk. Lori wants to get to know them better, So, It was like killing two birds with one stone. They covered everything, Quinn, & Tani were happy with their answers, & Lori loves how protective that they are of Steve, It shows that Five-O is a great ohana. "Believe me, When I say, Stick with us", Tani said with a bright smile, Quinn added, "We know how to make things look good". They raised their glasses, Lori followed, & the three women clinked it together.

Everyone was dancing before dessert, Plus, Everyone felt like they can relax, which was needed in the current situation. Lori felt like the luckiest woman in the world, cause she found a family, & she owed that to her man, She will show her appreciation later. It was great evening, & it would be great to end it on a wonderful note, & not have it ruined. The Ex-Profiler forgot how great a normal night felt, & she was glad to be part of it.

Lori promised the Hoyle their own special outing, so they can find a man for Quinn, She agreed, cause they asked, & she wants to be a great friend. The Men wanted to do a great fishing trip, which Steve, & Lou promised, & will organize as soon as possible. Kisses, & hugs were passed around, & everyone headed for their cars, ready to call it a night, But for Lori, & Steve, Their night isn't over by a long shot.

Lori had it planned out in her mind, as they made their way home, Steve was getting the door open, while the bombshell pinched him on the ass. "If you don't get the door the fuck open, Stud, I will fuck you right here, where the neighbors could see, & hear us", She commanded seductively. The Former Seal groaned in response, as he finally got the door open, after fumbling with the keys. The Homeland Agent pinned him against the wall, with her knee against his forming erection, rubbing it, as it was just causing the right amount of pressure. She tore down, & off his dress jacket, which made him gasped, & in shock. Which took his breath away, & they had a makeout session, as soon as Steve reached out, & closed the door, Lori locked it, & resumed her "fun".
