Official Disclaimer
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.

Welcome to the next snippet of this story.
I have been doing a lot of editing of stories at the m in the future so you'll see little glimpses of things to come in the main saga eventually.oment 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 Three
Danni Williams lifted her hand and knocked on the door of her partner's house, glancing around her as she waited for him to answer the door. The two of them were meant to have met each other for lunch, the same as they did on every Sunday when her daughter Grace was with her father and yet Steve had failed to turn up. She had waited for him for twenty minutes before trying to call him, her concern increasing when he had failed to pick up.
It had taken her a moment to finish her coffee and throw down the correct amount of cash for it onto the table surface before she gathered her belongings and headed to her car, climbing in and starting the engine with only one thought in her head.
Find Steve.
She had driven as quickly as she could to his house and was now here and yet there was no reply to her knock, her eyes focused on his truck which indicated he should still be in unless he had gone for a walk or someone had picked him up.
Breathing out, she pressed the connect button on her phone again, bringing it to her ear listening to the rings. She moved forward slightly, pressing her ear against the wooden door, a frown coming to her face when she heard the familiar ringtone which Steve had assigned to her coming from within.
"That's it" She murmured to herself as she ended the call, reaching into her bag and rummaging through it for a moment before she pulled out her keys, moving through them before she selected the one which Steve had given her for his house. She used it, and entered the house, quietly closing the door behind her, her eyes scanning the living room, it looked messier than she was used to seeing but nothing which would indicate that anyone else had been in there other than her partner. "Steve, are you here?" She called out, tilting her head and listening hard, her eyes flickering to the staircase. She moved towards them, climbing up them quietly and making herself down the corridor and stopping outside the door which she knew led to the main bedroom.
She listened closely for any sound which might have indicated that Steve was in there and if he was alone because the last thing, she wanted to see was her partner having Sex with someone else but there were no sounds. Reaching out she grabbed the handle, hesitating for a moment before she pushed it open and stepped in.
The first thing which struck her was the heat in the room which hit her like a slap to the face, the second was that the curtains were still closed which given the time it was shouldn't have been the case. The third was that Steve was curled up in the bed, with only a sheet covering his lower body.
Danni moved towards the window, reaching behind the curtain and opened the window allowing some much-needed fresh air into the room before she turned to the bed in time to see Steve shiver slightly. She moved towards him and hunched down near him, making sure that she was out of lunging range, knowing that waking a sleeping SEAL was never a good idea.
"Steve, hey can you hear me?" She called out; her voice slightly raised. "Steve?"
Steve groaned, pulling the sheet over him with another shiver before his eyes opened up a crack and focused on her before they slid closed again.
"Danni" He murmured, his voice rough and gravelly making her wince at how bad he sounded.
"Hey you" She replied, moving closer to him now that he was awake and aware that she was there. "How are you? Is everything okay?" She asked him, reaching out and resting her hand on his shoulder, frowning when she felt how warm and clammy his skin felt beneath her fingertips.
"I'm fine, what are you doing here?" He asked, his eyes still closed as though he was having difficulty in opening them.
"It's Sunday Steve, we were meant to have lunch together, when you didn't call me or turn up at the restaurant, I got concerned and came over here to check on you. Are you unwell?" She asked, already knowing the answer.
"It's Sunday?" Steve replied sounding confused for a moment before he quickly sat up, the movement unsteady.
"Hey, relax, try not to move so abruptly." Danni said, supporting him with her hands, her concern growing for him.
"I'm sorry, I must have overslept, give me a moment and I'll get dressed and we can head out. Did you eat already?" He asked, tilting his head towards her, his eyes coming open again and focusing on her, though she could tell that he was struggling to do that.
"I haven't eaten but that doesn't matter, what matters is that you're going to stay in bed and you're going to rest while I go downstairs and make you some tea to drink. You're ill and I can't see any sign that you've had anything to drink which means that you're probably dehydrated right now, lie back down and stay here until I get back." She stated as she came to her feet, glancing back at him when he wrapped his hand around her wrist.
"Danni, I'm fine, just give me a moment and I'll be ready to go." He said, the undercurrent of stubbornness to his voice making her smile slightly as her concern lessened somewhat knowing that if he was still able to argue with her then he wasn't too bad, no doubt he just had a bad cold.
"You're not fine and we're not going anywhere, stop being stubborn and lie down and let me make the tea, you'll feel better once you've drank something. I've opened the window but do you want the curtains open or is the light bothering your eyes? Its like a sauna in here because for some reason the window was closed so I've opened it." She informed him.
Steve remained silent for a moment before he sighed, his eyes dropping from hers.
"The light is bothering me slightly." He admitted
"Okay, in that case the curtains will remain shut, lie back down and rest. I'll be back in a moment" She said, gently pulling her wrist from his grip, watching as he did what she said before she turned and left the room, heading back down the stairs and moving towards the kitchen.
She quickly made the tea, making a mental note to go out to the local shop for Steve as there was nothing really in the kitchen, indicating that the cold had struck her partner before he had a chance to do his usual weekend chores.
Finishing the tea, she picked it up and headed through the house and back up the stairs and back into the bedroom, thankfully to see that the room was already cooler.
"Here we go Steve, sit up if you can" She said as she moved to the bed, lowering herself onto it so she was sitting at the edge, near enough to Steve so she could support him if he needed it.
"Do I have to?" Steve moaned, the comment causing her to smile, the words reminding her sharply of her daughter who tended to say the same thing when she was ill.
"Yes" Danni replied firmly. "You need to get some liquid in you" Steve grumbled beneath his breathe but sat up, taking the mug which Danni offered him and stared down at it for a moment. "It's just tea, drink it and be careful because its hot" She said, reaching out without thinking and brushing her hand through his hair, her nose wrinkling up slightly when she felt the sweat against her fingers.
"Fine" Steve replied, blowing on the liquid and taking a sip of it, a sigh escaping him at the taste.
"Drink as much as you can but if you feel sick then stop." She advised, watching him closely before she reached out and took the mug when he held it out to her after drinking about half of it. She came to her feet and placed it on the side. "You should lie back down and get some rest. I'll be back shortly."
"Where are you going?" Steve asked as he laid back down, staring up at her.
"To the supermarket to get you some food since there is nothing in the house." She told him. "I won't be long, if you've kept the tea down then I'll make you something to eat. You need to keep your energy up after all."
"Danni, you don't have to do my shopping for me, I'll be fine." Steve told her.
"You will be" She agreed with a shrug. "But not for a few days. I've got no plans today so let me take care of you okay?
"Danni" Steve said, staring at her with a look she couldn't read.
"Danni nothing, we're partners, we're meant to take care of each other, so rest, drink your tea and let me do that." She said, reaching out again and resting her hand against his cheek, surprised when he tilted his head and nuzzled against her palm. She pulled back reluctantly, flashing him a smile when he looked at her. "I'll be right back" She said again before she left the room again and headed out of the house, closing the door behind her, making a mental note in her mind what to get.
Someone had to look after her partner, so it might as well be her.
