Hi everyone!

This text was written for the event "Whumptober" which in I chose four prompts for four chapters and I decided to add one chapter after your requests which had been inspirated by the "Christmas' event" in the group "Papotage,écriture, lecture et bonne humeur". The prompt I choose for this last chapter is "an unexpected gift".

I don't own the characters, they are all Hawaii 5-0 author's propriety.

And thank you again to all who wrote me a review, it means a lot for me;

I want to thank Nyarobinson ( u/13435268/) for the corrections.

Enjoy and merry christmas !

Chapter 5: An unexpected gift.

December was hot in Hawaii as usual, but not in Danny's heart. On this twenty-third of December he passed the hospital door like he had every day for two months. He didn't need to ask the nurses the way and the nurses knew him now. He walked through the corridor to Steve's room, sat at his side and took his hand. The Navy Seal had not moved since the day before nor any of the days he spent in this bed, in a coma.

For a week now, Danny hoped to see a movement or something that would mean his best friend was on the way to waking up, but nothing. The doctor had told Danny that Steve's body was now healed, but he couldn't know if Steve would one day wake up. The continental wanted to believe in Steve coming back, but each time he passed the door, he was heartbroken.

His phone rang. It was Grace, he knew it without looking at the phone, she called every day to get news and support her father. It was thanks to her, and Rachel who authorized Grace to meet Danny every evening for two hours, that he could leave Steve's side every night and go to work during daytime. His daughter called him when she finished her holiday activities, before doing her homework and Danny picked her up at Rachel's house for two hours.

"Hey monkey!"

"Any news?"

"No. How was your day?"

But on this day he didn't listen to his daughter's day. He felt a pressure on his hand. He looked carefully at Steve and saw small movements.

"Monkey, Steve is moving, I have to call the doctors, I call you back."

And he ended the call to pull the alarm at the side of Steve's bed. The soldier was still pressing his hand. His movements were weak, very small, but there.

A nurse and a doctor came into the room. Danny moved to the side, he was anxious. He hoped these movements were good news, he hoped that Steve would wake up soon.

After ten minutes of stress the doctor came to him.

"In a few hours, he should be with us."

Danny was so happy. He called Grace back to cancel their meeting. His little girl was happy too and decided to ask her mom to visit Steve as soon as they could.

Danny spent the night and the day after at Steve's side. And, finally, on Christmas eve, Steve opened his eyes.

I hope you like more this ending.

Merry Christmas every one.
