The characters of Steve McGarrett, Chin Ho Kelly, Kono Kalakaua, Jenna Kaye, Adam 'Toast' Charles and anyone else within the story who might sound familiar do not belong to me in any shape or form, I am merely using them for my own entertainment purposes.

The character of Danni Williams could probably be considered mine by now. Although the character was originally based on male Danny Williams I think it's probably to say that she is now her own individual character. She has her own story and her own individual background now, a background and story which is different from male Danny's story. This also means that Grace is different as well since not only does she live full time with her mother but also because Danni and Duncan have a fairly civil relationship with each other. Grace's surname is also Taylor in this saga as Williams is Danni's maiden name while Taylor was her married name.

The characters of Rosie Lange, Riley King, Jack O'Connor and David Williams do belong to me though.

I should also add that if a character is mentioned who you don't recognise from the show then they probably belong to me as well.

Author Note

Welcome to the next snippet of this story.

This chapter is set a bit in the future so you'll see little glimpses of things to come in the main saga eventually.

I have been doing a lot of editing of stories at the moment so although it may seem like I've been quiet I have been working hard for you all. Once I've edited all the stories then I will be able to properly complete all my stories without having doubts about previous chapters!

Anyway please enjoy.

Snippet Two

She had been suffering from a bad headache all day, one which had resisted all the attempts she had made to banish it meaning that she would soon be stepping into migraine territory. The sensible thing for her to do would be to head straight home, take further painkillers and go to bed, blocking out as much as the light from her room as she could so she could simply rest but that option wasn't one which was available to her. Not when they were all in the middle of a complex case which would require them all to solve it. There was no time for her to have a headache and therefore she was simply going to have to keep quiet about it, grit her teeth and work through it, praying that the movement of the car wouldn't jolt her too much.

She jumped when she felt a large, familiar hand curl around her upper arm as an equally familiar voice spoke softly, cutting through her jumbled thoughts.

"Danni, is everything okay?"

"Everything is fine Steve" Danni lied, forcing a smile onto her face as she opened her eyes, instantly slitting them to try and block against the sunlight again. She swallowed hard as a sharp stab of pain hit her, causing her to bite down hard on the inside of her mouth and instead focused her attention on her partner, trying to disregard the fact that she had been unaware until Steve grabbed her that she had come to a complete stop or had shut her eyes at the top of the stairs. "Sorry, lets go and speak to the guy then."

"We're going to go and speak to a girl" Steve corrected her with a frown. "Monica Davis, the witness in the case who Jenna has just told us all about upstairs? Remember?"

"Yeah of course Monica Davis, the witness, that's what I meant to say" She agreed, aware of the fact that Steve's hand was still wrapped around her arm. She blinked when he leaned down, his face stopping close to hers as sharp blue eyes scanned her face, searching for something though she wasn't quite sure what it was.

"Can I help you with something?" She demanded, taking an unsteady step back from him to put some space between them, having Steve that close to her was dangerous when she was in full control, having him that close when she felt off balance and in pain would be a recipe for complete disaster. "Let's go and speak to her then" Danni prompted when Steve remained silent, his gaze never leaving her.

"No" Steve said with a shake of his head. "I'll go and speak to her after I've taken you home to rest."

"Home?" Dani repeated, resisting the urge to glare at him with difficulty knowing that if she did then it would simply cause her more pain.

"That is what I said" Steve stated firmly, moving to her side, his hand dropping from her arm to instead rest on her lower back as he propelled her forward to where she had parked the car earlier, his large frame blocking her from the worst of the sunlight, the slight respite making her want to cry with relief.

"I don't know what you're talking about Steve, I don't need to go home, what I need to do is to go with you to interview the witness, she might be the key to us cracking this case wide open." She pointed out, stopping beside the car, she blinked at him as he unlocked the car and opened the door on her side of the car, holding it as his frame crowded hers.

"Get in the car Danni" He told her, his tone making it clear that it was an order which he expected her to obey and not to debate with him. Danni bit her lip as she slowly lowered herself into the passenger, wincing in pain as Steve closed the door after her, lingering beside it for a few moments. She watched as he moved eventually around the front of the car, his cell phone up to his ear, clearly speaking to someone. She hadn't heard the phone ring which meant that either he had made the call himself or she was more out of thing then she had initially thought.

"Fuck" She whispered to herself, hating that she felt the way she did.

Danni tilted her head on the back of the chair as Steve climbed into the car, his own gaze turning to her in concern, he searched her gaze before making a huffing sound. He reached down beside him, rummaging for something which he clearly found if the way his expression lightened slightly was any indication to go by. His hand reappeared, holding onto a pair of sunglasses which he held out to her.

"Put these on." He instructed.

"You've forgotten the magic word Steven" She shot back at him, resenting the tone he was using on her. The comment made his frown deepen.

"Put the sunglasses on please Danielle." He stated, an undercurrent of anger to his tone which she was too tired to understand.

"Fine" She muttered, reaching out and taking them from him. She put them on, sagging back in relief as the world darkened around her. She heard Steve mutter something under his breathe but she ignored it, breathing out a sigh of happiness when Steve put the air conditioning on full blast, the cool air washing over her making the pain in her head ease a tiny a bit further. "Let's go and speak to the witness now Steve" She instructed quietly, allowing her eyes to drift close and tried hard not to wince when Steve had to break suddenly. She must have drifted off because the next thing she was aware of was that the car was stilled beneath them and a there was a gentle touch on her cheek which she leaned into.

"Danni, wake up" Steve murmured softly from the side of her.

She blinked behind the sunglasses, pushing herself forward in the seat. She stared out of the window screen in confusion as she found herself confronted with the sight of Steve's house.

"Steve why are we at your house? In case you've forgotten we have a witness to talk to." She said angrily.

"No" He contradicted with a shake of his head. "I've already told you that I have to interview the subject, you're heading inside the house, taking some strong painkillers and getting some sleep."

"I'm at work Steven and I have a job to do. I've told you before that I was fine and I…"

"For god sake Danni, do you think I can't tell when you're ill and in pain? I can tell that you have a migraine which means that you are completely off your game right now. You're not fit to be interviewing anyone and you're definitely not fit to be at work. If this was any other member of the team then you would be the first person sending them home to recover so that is what I'm doing now. You're going to rest." He told her; a firm note to his voice.

"Even if that is the case, why have you brought me to your house rather than the place I live" She demanded back, bringing her hand to her forehead and wincing at the sharp slice of pain which seemed to stab at her brain.

"Because if I took you back to yours then you wouldn't be able to get any rest due to that demon dog that you have." Steve retorted.

"Roxie is not a demon dog Steven, she's lovely." Danni said, meeting Steve's gaze with a glare.

"Says you, we both know that the minute that you enter the house then she is going to be jumping all over you, jolting your head further and refusing to leave you alone, at least if you're here then you can properly rest especially as its Wednesday so Grace will be with her father tonight. You can just focus on getting better." He said.

"And what about Roxie? I can't leave her by herself Steve, she's a dog, she needs looking after, she'll need walking later on as well." Danni pointed out, watching as Steve's shoulders hunched up before he spoke.

"I'll pick up Roxie from yours and bring her here on my way home from work, I'll even take her for her walk later on if it means you resting." He said, tilting her head to look at her for a second before he pushed open the door and climbed out. Danni sighed tiredly as she slowly undid her seatbelt, glancing to the side of her when the door open and Steve's hand appeared in her sightline. For a moment she merely stared at it before she placed her hand in his, his fingers curling around her as he used the grip to help her out of the car. He let go of her hand and closed the door behind her before ushering her to the front door which he swiftly opened.

Danni ignored the urge to argue with Steve's plan knowing from the stubborn look on his face that it would be pointless to even try.

"I don't know why you don't like my Dog" Danni commented, frowning slightly at Steve as he led her into the house and up the stairs. "I mean you were the one who kept going on and on at me to get one in the first place." She pointed out to him.

"I told you to get a Dog which would protect you and Grace if the need for it arose. I did not mean for you to get a French Bulldog who is more likely to lick any intruder to death than attack them." He grumbled.

"I love Roxie, I wouldn't change her for anything Steve." She said quietly, not responding when he sighed at the remark. "Where are we going?" Danni demanded on a moment later, realising that Steve had led her to his own bedroom and towards the large king-sized bed.

"Climb in Danni" He said with a nod towards the bed.

"Climb in?" She repeated. "This is your bedroom Steve and that is your bed." She watched through wide eyes as he pulled back the sheets and took a step away.

"And?" He replied with a shrug at her. "This is the biggest bed in the house, so stop arguing with me and get in" He turned and moved to the chest of drawers and opened the top drawer, moving things around before he pulled out a t-shirt which he threw on the bed. "Put that on" He instructed.

"Steve I…" She began to say, her words trailing off when he turned and left the room, the same frown on his face which he had been wearing since they had left headquarters. Danni stared at the empty door for a moment before she took a step to the bed and picked up the t-shirt, her eyes landing on the Navy slogan on the front of it. Shaking her head, she hissed at the pain before she left the room and heading into the bathroom, she used the toilet, stripping out of her top and skirt and pulled on the oversized t-shirt before she gathered her belongings together and left the room, heading back into the bedroom, thankfully to see that it was still empty. She placed her clothes on the chair before she climbed into the bed, pulling the sheet over her with a thankful sigh.

As much as she hated to admit it, Steve was right, bed was what she needed right now and being able to spread out in the large bed was helping.

"Danni? I'm heading back to work. I've left some water and painkillers on the side so make sure that you take them, I've pulled the curtains as well so it will keep the majority of the sun out so rest. I'll be back with Roxie before you know it." Steve said gently.

She made a humming sound in response, sighing softly when she felt a tender kiss being placed against her hot forehead before it was gone and she was left in a peaceful world of darkness and silence.
