I am new to Hawaii Five-O fandom, but I am a huge Catherine and Steve fan. This is the first story I have wrote for them. I hope you enjoy it, I think I have read all the stories that have been written for them. Please let me what you think.
The team listened as Catherine told the story about telling Steve she was pregnant.
"So she is Hawaiian?" Chin asked with a smile.
"Yes, not only was she conceived here but she was born at Tripler. John took this picture and I have pictures of him with Sawyer."
"He was a proud grandfather." Steve smiling.
"So, the boss was nervous?" Kono asked.
"Yes, I was. Cath was more put together at the beginning then I ever thought about beginning."
"At the beginning?" Danny questioned.
"Yes, until I was around seven months pregnant I was the calm one."
"After finding out about Sawyer, I had one more mission I had to complete before I could get stationed somewhere until the baby was born. That is why Joe knows about Sawyer, I had to call in favors."

Steve smiled when he hung up the phone, Joe had managed to get him station at Pearl for the next five months, claiming it was training. Steve had just spoke with Catherine, who had already being transferred there but wouldn't be on the island for another two weeks, and they had a place off base to stay. He was going to call his dad and let him know what was happening, although Steve didn't think John would care, Catherine insisted on it. He had learned to do as she asked or deal with the emotions that would come out.
Two weeks later.
Steve was waiting for Catherine at the airport, both in civvies, they looked like any other couple except she was absolutely beautiful and glowing. Steve had thought she never looked better, the pregnancy definitely agreed with her, she smiled as soon as she seen him.
"Hey beautiful." As she reached him.
"You must be talking to someone else."
"Nope, I am talking to the most beautiful women on the planet."
"Steve, being cute is not going to work. I am tired and feel like a whale, so please take me home."
"Your wish is my command. You do look beautiful."
She rolled her eyes, before they started walking out of the airport. Steve didn't say anything else as they made it to the car. He put her bags in before getting in.
"Tell me what the doctor said at your last appointment."
"She is fine and we need to pick out a name because I am tired of calling her peanut."
"Okay, was that it?"
"About her yes. He said I need to watch how much more weight I gain because it isn't good to gain more than 20 pounds, which means I can gain about 4 more pounds before I will be considered a whale." She explained trying not to cry.
"He told you that you have gained to much weight?"
"He said I shouldn't gain more than 20 pounds throughout my whole pregnancy."
"He's an idiot, you are still working out and look amazing. Plus you have another human in your body."
"He's a doctor, I think he knows what he is talking about."
"Cath, are you working out and eating healthy?"
"Yes, although working out is getting harder, so I am walking about five miles a day."
"See and now we can walk together, plus we can swim more here."
"If you think I am getting in a bathing suit you have lost your mind McGarrett."
"You can walk around naked for the next two months and I would be happy."
"Funny. Have you talked to your dad?"
"Yes, he is happy about the baby and if we don't have plans he is wanting us to have dinner tomorrow night."
"Why would we have plans? I don't know anyone here but you and this baby who is sucking the life out of me."
Steve looked over at her, when he stopped at the red light, she looked defeated and ready to cry.
"You know that I'm here to listen, I know I haven't been but that's not the case now."
"I'm tired that's all."
"Cath?"
"Steve, I am tired and I don't want to talk about my weight or what the damn doctor said. We will go to dinner with your dad but I want to have a name for her."
"By tomorrow night?"
"Yes, she needs a name we are both in the same place for the second time in the pregnancy I want her name picked."
"Okay, once we are home we will talk about it."
"Good."

Catherine started to laughing remembering that car ride, while Steve shook his head.
"So she was a little moody?" Kono laughing.
"I think Steve was afraid of her." Chin
"You have seen what she can do, now add a bunch of hormones and yes she was scary."
"Cath, you weren't one of those happy pregnant women?" Danny laughing.
"No, I was not I was miserable but I would do it all over again for her." She said smiling.
"Why don't I start the meat and then we can tell you more?"
"I want to know if you came up with her name that night." Kono.
"Go on Steve. I can start this part."
/
Later that night at their apartment.
Steve had fixed dinner and they were now sitting on the couch, Cath was laying with her head in Steve's lap. She was relaxed for the first time in days, if she was being truthful the first time in months.
"Have you thought of any names?" She asked.
"A couple but I want it to be a name we both agree on. What about you?"
"Just one, I just don't call her peanut."
"What else have you been calling her?"
"Sailor, I know it's not really a girl's name but she needed a name beside peanut."
"That's what you call me sometimes."
"Okay, maybe I call her Sailor because it makes me feel closer to you, while you were on assignment."
"I'm still not fond of the name." he admitted.
"Then what are your choices. I mean if you want to name her after your mom, I would prefer it as a middle name."
"No, she needs her own name."
"You were named after your grandfather."
"I know but I don't want her to feel like she is living up to some ghost."
"Okay, then spill the names you like."
"Waverly, is on the top of the list."
Steve laughed when she made a face.
"This is harder than I expected." He told her.
"She has to live with it for the rest of her life. I don't want to mess it up."
"She is going to perfect, like her mother." Before he leaned down and kissed her.
"A name, Commander."
"Okay, so you don't like Waverly and I am not fond of Sailor."
"Okay, so we can agree on that."
"Her middle name should be Hawaiian, so what about Kalakeke."
"I don't speak bird, so what does Kalakeke mean."
"Grace."
"I like it and it gives her a piece of the island."
"Okay, now a first name."
They both sat there in silence for a couple of minutes, before Catherine spoke up.
"Sawyer."
"Huh?"
"Sawyer what do you think?"
"Sawyer Kalakeke Rollins."
Catherine smiled, she liked how it sounded and was hoping Steve would.
"How did you come up with Sawyer?"
"It sounds better then Sailor and Waverly. I took letters from both names and came up with Sawyer."
"So, it's both of the names."
"Yeah, what do you think because I want you to like the name too."
"Sawyer Kalakeke Rollins." He repeated.
"It's only Rollins until I retire, then its McGarrett."
"I like it and it will sound good as McGarrett as well."
Catherine placed her hand on her stomach.
"Peanut, what do you think about Sawyer?"
"Are you really asking her?"
"Yes and you should talk to her as well so she will know your voice."
"What do you think Sawyer? Did we pick the right name for you?" as he put his hands over Catherine's hand.
"Did you feel that?"
"No."
Catherine moved her hands so that Steve's were now laying on her stomach.
"Talk again."
"Sawyer, mommy and I can't wait to meet you."
Catherine watched as Steve's face lite up, feeling the baby kick for the first time.

Steve finished grilling as Catherine finished the story.
"So her middle name is Grace." Danny smiling.
"It means Grace yes." Steve replied.
"When is she coming home?" Kono asked.
"Three days, my parents are bringing her here before they go to Italy."
"You said John was there when you had her." Chin
"Yes, thank God because he was calmer than Steve."
"Now that's the story I want to hear." Danny
