Disclaimer

The characters of Steve McGarrett, Danny Williams, Chin Ho Kelly, Kono Kalakaua, Adam 'Toast' Charles, Lori Weston and Jenna Kaye belongs to the creators of Hawaii 50. I'm merely using them for my own entertainment purposes. Trust me if I had been in charge of 50 a lot of things would have been different!

The character of Danielle Richardson, David Richardson, Jack O'Connor, Riley King and Kevin Matthews do belong to me so please do not use them without asking permission first. The character of Francesco Rayland also belongs to me.

Author Note

This was originally going to be put up under the Snippets A/U saga but I've decided it would be better to separate them into their different sagas, they may be in order or they may not be, I haven't decided yet. This snippet is new though

Because this saga features Danny Williams, female Danni will be referred to as Danielle when she's not being spoken to which should hopefully clear up any misunderstanding for the reader.

Anyway please enjoy.

Overall Summary

Steve is in charge of 50, Danni is in charge of the Brain squad and they still somehow meet and fall in love with each other. It must be fate. (McDanni)

Chapter Summary

Steve breathed out deeply as he sat in his chair, running his hands over his face, wondering what on earth he was going to do with the problem he was dealt with. Every time he thought he had dealt with it, it would flare back up, every time he closed his eyes he would dream and it was those dreams which were affecting him.

Part One

Forever is a long time; but I wouldn't mind spending it by your side

He could understand dreaming about Danielle Richardson once in a while. Steve was a red blooded man with needs and the small blonde was gorgeous looking. Small and slight with lovely delicate features, big intelligent grey eyes and masses of wavy blonde hair. She had an amazing figure and an air about her as though she had no idea what she did to people though she must have known.

Once was fully explainable, he was only human after all but to dream about her three times in one night. Dreams which out the pornos he used to watch as a young adult to shame was going beyond explanation and pointed to him being in trouble.

She was beautiful and fragile and everything in him screamed at him to protect her and yet he didn't know much about her, only the old bit and piece which he had overheard when she had been in conversation with someone else. She was pleasant and friendly towards him when they found themselves in a group together or in a conversation but she had done nothing to indicate that she wanted anything more than friendship with him. He didn't even know whether she counted him as a friend. Perhaps he was merely her boss to her, an acquaintance who she had to be polite to.

God he hoped he was more than that to her and yet he shouldn't have felt that way. He didn't feel it towards Kono, Jenna or Lori. Three beautiful women in their own right, it was simply Danielle who he dreamed nightly about.

He growled softly, bringing his hands down and resting them on his desk. It was stupid to be so effected by the dreams especially as he knew from a conversation between Kono and Jenna that Danielle was seeing someone, someone who worked in the CSU though Steve didn't catch his name. He found himself watching the teams when they were dispatched to 50 crime scenes trying to figure out which one of them could have been the lucky one to have Danielle as their other half, none of them seemed good enough in his eyes though he supposed that his thoughts were unimportant.

He glanced up when there was a knock on the door, his heart skipping a beat when it opened showing Danielle. She lingered in the doorway not coming in, her eyes flickering between his belongings making him wonder whether she had been in his office yet, before her eyes focused on him, sending the thought flying out of the window.

"Hey Steve" She said, an undercurrent of uncertainty to her voice. "Can we talk? I know your door was closed but…" Her voice trailed off into a questioning look instead.

Steve nodded.

"Come in Danni" He told her indicating the empty chair in front of him. "Take a seat" He watched her move taking in the simple graceful movement as she lowered herself into the chair, adjusting her dress quickly. It was a simply dress, he was pretty sure his sister Mary had referred to it as a maxi dress one time when they had been out and she had seen one she liked. Danielle's was black and white, simply cut with a low V-neck. Somehow it looked as though it had been tailored for her, skimming every curve she possessed making him want to explore what was hinted at. Simple sandals finished the outfit making her appear smaller than usual since she normally favoured high heels. Steve forced his thoughts away. "How can I help you Danni?" He asked when she looked at him.

"I need to take two weeks off work" She told him. Steve raised an eyebrow at her.

"Starting tomorrow?" He queried "Because I'm afraid the answer is going to be no if that's the case, I need a bit more notice than a day for holiday that long" He remarked, his heart squeezing at the thought of Danielle being gone for two weeks. He was already too used to her being there every day. So far she had taken no time off work.

"No, no, not tomorrow" she said with a shake of her head. "It would be in three weeks' time. I checked the rota last night when I was looking for Danny and there's no one else off work" She told him, tilting her head slightly to the side. She had done her hair up in some sort of complicated style leaving her neck exposed. Steve glanced at the curve of it for a moment before he made himself meet his eyes.

"In that case I can't see any reason to say no" He told her reluctantly. Danielle smiled widely at him.

"Great" She said "David will need the time off as well but he's obviously waiting for the right time to ask you, probably when your door isn't closed"

"David as well" Steve repeated, "Are you going somewhere?" He questioned, silently kicking himself, he had to be careful that he didn't show too much interest in her. Still he would have asked the same question of anyone else who had asked for two weeks off. Danielle clearly didn't find anything peculiar with the inquiry since she answered him.

"Back to Maryland" She said "Every year we all go back home regardless of where we happen to be for two weeks or rather we start in Maryland and end up somewhere else, last year we ended up going to Venice for ten days which was pretty cool"

"Venice?" Steve said "I've been there once before, beautiful city though not exactly the most pleasant smelling one"

"I know right" Danielle commented, easing back into the chair and relaxing. "I love it there but the smell was pretty overpowering at times. I would definitely go again"

"Yeah me too" Steve agreed "Though I think it's the kind of place you have to go with someone, it's meant to be one of the most romantic places after all."

"So I've heard" Danielle remarked pushing herself to her feet and glancing over her shoulder at the door.

"Where do you think you'll go this year?" He asked her suddenly, not wanting her to leave. She looked back at him thoughtfully.

"I'm not sure. My mum has this annoying tendency of springing it on us. She's been wanting to go to Australia and New Zealand for a while so it wouldn't surprise me if we ended up down under, I don't mind where we go. It's nice to catch up with everyone, we're all spread out at the moment and there's only so much you can say on the phone."

"Tell me about it, my sister Mary lives in Japan at the moment and my cousins who I was raised with are spread all around at the moment as well, it makes it hard to be able to see them. Is it just the family who go?" He questioned curiously. Danni shook her head at him, her mouth curling into a half smile.

"No, if you're in a serious relationship then it's normally expected that you bring the other half with you but if it's a casual thing then you don't. It's like the ultimate test, whoever survives the family is worthy of joining its ranks" she said with a laugh.

"You going with anyone?" Steve asked casually.

"God no" she said with a shake of her head. "I'll be going with David and his daughter Libby. I'm the youngest daughter of the family, it would take a seriously brave man to step into that living room. I have a two grandfather, several Uncles, my Dad and a few brothers as well not to mention countless of cousins. The women of our family are treated like rare treasure or something. It's annoying" She said rolling her eyes with a sigh. "I best go, Toast has just come in so I need to give our morning briefing. Should I put the time in the diary or should I leave it to you?" She asked, her gaze dropping to take in all the paperwork on his desk.

"You do it" He told her, "In fact I think you should be in charge of the calendar for the team. You're more organised than I am. I'll send an email round and tell them to contact you with any leave requests. When you get them you can come here and tell me about it and we'll discuss if it can happen or not." Danielle nodded.

"Sure leave it to me, I'm rig up a spreadsheet for everyone. I've got to finish off the banker report to get it to Danny but if I have time I'll do it later. I'll send you a copy first and if you like it than you can approve it." She said.

"What would I do without you" He told her seriously, smiling at her startled look. "You best get back to work before I decide to withdraw my approval of your holiday on the basis that this place will fall apart without you."

Danielle laughed.

"You'll be fine" She assured him "And thanks Steve I'll be in my office if you need me." She told him before she left the room, leaving the smell of vanilla and oranges behind her. He breathed it in, committing the scent to memory so he could find it anytime he wanted to before he sighed.

If he wasn't in trouble before than he certainly was now.
