IM SORRY I WASN'T THERE
CHAPTER 8
A/N: Hi everyone, I am so sorry for not having updated lately. It has been really crazy and hard with life lately so I'm really sorry. I hope that you like this next one. Please like and review. I don't own any of the characters expect the OC.
It has been 2 weeks since Steve and Mae took Annie home with them. It was a beautiful Saturday morning and they decided that they would take Annie for a walk and a Picnic at the beach. They ate breakfast together and then headed upstairs to get changed into their beach clothes. While Mae was still getting ready upstairs, Steve went into the kitchen to pack the picnic and get Annie ready to go. Ten minutes later they were both ready to leave.
They made their way down to the beach at a normal pace allowing Annie to take in her surroundings as she hadn't been around here before. A few minutes later they had reached their spot at the beach. Steve setup the picnic blanket on the sand and just as he was about to sit down, he took a moment to look around at the view. He spotted something rather someone in the distance. He took a closer look and realised it was none other than his partner. Steve noticed him staring a something in the water, so he followed the direction in which Danny was looking at and spotted Grace and Kono in the water surfing. Steve first thought was "I see Danny finally let Kono teach Grace to Surf. Which caused him to form his signature smirk on his face.
After a few minutes of watching the two girls in the water. He turned to his own daughter and said" Hey Mae, Uncle Danny, Grace and Aunty Kono are here. Do you want to go over and sit with them?" Grace looked at where her Dad was pointing as a smile formed on her face. "Yeah, let's go over there" she said. "Okay, you want to have some fun" Mae nodded "We are going to sneak up on him, so you have to be really quiet and I will carry Annie" Steve explained. They packed up the blanket that Steve has laid out and silently made their way over to Danny who was too busy watching Grace in the water. As they got within a few inches of Danny, Steve put Annie down and she ran to Danny and started licking him and as Annie was doing that Mae and Steve walked up behind him and yelled "Hey" which caused Danny to nearly jump out of his skin.
Five minutes later, Steve and Mae were still trying to stop laughing. "It's not that funny" Danny said. "Oh, on the contrary my friend, it's hilarious, isn't it Mae". Danny just rolled his eyes, shock his head and then turned his attention back to Grace in the water. "So I see you finally let Kono teach Grace to surf" Steve said to Danny "Yeah, she wouldn't stop nagging" Danny replied causing Steve to laugh imaging Gracie persistence and Danny finally giving in. Mae had heard her father talking to his partner about surfing so she decided to ask her father if she could learn to surf. "Daddy, can Aunty Kono teach me to surf". "You will have to ask her really nicely" Steve replied. Mae just smiled.
Twenty minutes had passed and Grace and Kono made their way out of the water towards Danny. Grace was the first to notice Steve and Mae. "Uncle Steve, Mae" Grace said as she ran up to them, engulfing her Uncle in a big hug. "Hi Gracie, how was your surfing lesson" Steve asked. "It was so much fun, Aunty Kono is a great surfer". Everyone just smiled. Mae took this opportunity to ask her Aunty about teaching her to surf. "Aunty Kono, can you please teach me how to surf, pretty please" Mae asked her whilst giving her those signature McGarrett eyes that makes anybody give into them. "Okay, how about next weekend" Kono said whilst glancing at Steve as if to ask if that is okay which he relied with a nod. Mae also nodded and gave Kono a hug.
They all sat down and enjoyed the picnic that Steve had packed. After a while of relaxing and talking on the beach, they all decided to head back to Steve's house and have a BBQ. They also decided that they would call Chin and invite him along to the BBQ. As they were about to leave Steve informed the others that he had to go to the store to pick up some stuff for the gathering. He told them to let themselves into his place as Danny has a key and he will be back shortly.
He headed to the store on his own as he had left Mae with Danny. He was walking down one of the isle and his phone buzzed. He fished it out of his pocket and checked to see who it is. The next thing he knew, something had hit him and he heard a smash on the floor. He looked up to see that something that hit him was actually someone, and not just any someone but certain person from Steve's past that he couldn't quite figure out if he was happy, confused or nervous to see them after almost 5 years of not seeing them. He just stood there staring for what felt like hours but it was more like seconds. The next thing he knew his mouth was opening but the only word that come out was 'Hey'.
