Author's Note: Well here we are folks, the end of this story. It's a bittersweet feeling as always, because I honestly enjoy writing this stories from beginning to end and it's always a little sad when the end comes. But I hope that you guys love this chapter.


"Happy anniversary Danno." Steve greets looking at the sleepy head of his boyfriend, who had just woken up. Danny looks bleary eyed at Steve for a few moments before he makes the connection that Steve is holding a tray out in front of him. "I made you waffles and bacon and of course coffee." Danny sits up a sleepy smile spread across his face as Steve sets the tray down in front of him before joining him in bed.

"Happy anniversary babe." Danny replies leaning over to kiss Steve soundly on the mouth. Steve gives in for a moment letting Danny kiss him so thoroughly before pulling away.

"We should probably eat before it gets cold, plus we have a lot to do today." Danny grumbles but grabs a piece of bacon. Steve chuckles and smiles eating his breakfast of oatmeal with fruit, just because he made such a special breakfast for Danno didn't mean he was going to eat it. Plus he was a little too nervous to eat. "What time are you picking up Grace?" Steve asks after he's finished with his oatmeal.

"Like an hour or so. I can't believe you got Rachel to agree to letting her stay here for a week." Steve shrugs, Danny doesn't need to know exactly how Steve got Rachel to agree, that would ruin the surprise.

"I just pleaded with her that it was a rare occurrence for both of us to have the week off and I wanted to spend some time with Grace. When you explain things logically and rationally she really doesn't have any problems with agreeing."

"Have you met my ex-wife?" Danny asks finishing off the last of his waffles. "Thanks for breakfast babe." Steve can tell that Danny's changing the topic, which Steve is grateful for because he really doesn't want to talk about Rachel today. It was their two year anniversary and Steve wanted to make it special and enjoy a day void of dead bodies, drugs, bullets, and high speed chases.

"You're welcome, I thought since we have the week off I would treat you to a special breakfast since we had the time." Danny smiled and leaned over kissing Steve's cheek before climbing out of bed and heading towards the shower.

"I'm gonna take these down stairs then hit the grocery store for the barbeque today. So I'll see you and Grace later, okay Danno?" Danny's reply is muffled over the rushing water and the closed bathroom door. Steve can barely make out the affirmative response before he's heading down the stairs and towards the kitchen. After depositing the dishes into the sink and sending quick texts to both Chin and Kono, Steve's on his way to the airport.

As Steve stands by baggage claim he bounces with anxious energy. He really hopes that today goes smoothly because he's spent so much time laying the groundwork for today that he would hate to see it all go up in smoke. Steve looked around another time, when he spotted Lynn and Joe Williams. He knew it was them without really looking at them because Lynn's hands were flying around her in excitement (much like Danno's do during one of his rants) and Joe was just smiling down at her affectionately (much like Danno did when dealing with Grace or even himself from time to time).

"Steve!" Lynn exclaims pushing her way through the crowd of people to get to Steve, whose smiling broadly at them. As soon as she's within arm's reach she's pulling Steve towards her wrapping him in a bone crushing hug.

"Hi mom." Steve whispers taking in the warmth and love of her embrace, even though he has to almost crouch down to hug her properly. It really has been a long time since Steve's been able to call someone mom and feel unconditional love in return, he's extremely lucky that Danny's parents had taken to him so quickly. "Hi dad." Steve greets shaking Joe's hand and giving him a short hug.

"We need to get our bags and hurry home; I can't wait to see my babies." Lynn gushes moving frantically towards the carousal and looking for their bags. Steve and Joe just shake their heads at her, before Steve's grabbing their bags. Lynn smiles at him and takes his offered elbow as he leads them out of the airport and towards the truck.

By the time they reach the house Steve is completely caught up with the rest of Danny's sisters and all their kids, even some of the friends that Lynn and Joe spend time with. Steve can't believe that they've gone this long without seeing them because it's nice having family, besides Mary to catch up with. Thinking about Mary makes Steve a little sad; he wished that she could've been here to celebrate this momentous occasion with them. But he's happy that she's got a steady job now, so he knows that he'll catch her the next time she's got a layover in Oahu.

"What a lovely house you have Steven." Lynn gushed as they pulled up to the house. She could see how someone like Steve's mother would love a house like this; it was a perfect mixture of mainland style and Hawaiian beach style.

"And there's a private beach outside too?" Joe asked already planning on more trips down to visit his sons.

"Yeah and you're always welcome here." Steve replied knowing that Joe was probably already planning on coming to Hawaii a lot more now and he could see the allure. Joe just shook his head laughing at what Danny calls his 'ninja SEAL senses'. As they exit the car Steve smiles when he sees Kono and Chin, along with Malia and Charlie walking towards them. "Hey guys, this is Lynn and Joe Williams Danny's parents. Mom, dad –"

"You must be Kono and Chin and you must be Malia, and Charlie?" Charlie nodded smiling at Danny's mom. "I've heard a lot about you two from my Danny. I'm so happy to finally meet my son's other ohana." Steve just smiled as Lynn steps forward and hugs Kono and then Chin. He should've known that she would know who they were, he and Danny had talked a lot about them. Joe just smiled and shook hands with both extending hellos.

"It's really great to meet you guys too." Kono replied smiling widely at Danny's mom, she was exactly like she imagined her. "I'm gonna go ahead and put this inside, do we need to set anything up?" Kono asked holding up her bags of premade food.

"No it's a low key barbeque, just like Danno would want it. You guys go ahead, I'm going to get these bags set up in the guest room. Mom, dad Chin and Kono can show you where everything is down stairs and later I'll show you your room." Chin nodded leading Danny's mother into the house while she asked Malia about the wedding and married life so far. Steve and Joe shared a look before Joe followed his wife into the house leaving Steve behind.

Everyone was hanging out on the lanai with the grill warming up and the drinks flowing when Steve heard the front door open. "Steve?" Danny called wondering where his boyfriend was since he saw the truck in the driveway.

"I'm out back Danny!" Steve called back smiling at Lynn and Joe who were standing next to him. He couldn't wait for Danny to see his parents. Steve walked into the house meeting Danny halfway.

"What are you up to?" Danny asked looking over Steve suspiciously. He could tell that something was wrong with his partner.

"I have a surprise anniversary present for you." Steve replies ignoring Danny's suspicious looks and leads him outside once Grace has come down the stairs after dropping her bag in her room. Danny watches Steve like a hawk as they make their way outside.

"Surprise!" Lynn and Joe exclaimed standing there with large dazzling smiles spread across their faces.

"Grandma! Grandpa!" Grace exclaimed running towards them and wrapping herself around them. Danny looked from his parents back at Steve with his wide eyes and a slack jaw. He couldn't believe that Steve had gone through all this to bring his parents to Hawaii.

"Come here Daniel." Lynn demanded with teary eyes wrapping her son in a bone crushing hug. It has truly been too long since she's had her son in her arms.

"It's so good to see you." Danny whispered in her ear his own eyes a little watery. He couldn't believe he was actually his mother on this god forsaken island. Pulling away Danny smiled at his father and didn't hesitate to hug him as well. "Hey dad." Joe smiled and hugged his son tightly, happy to see him after so much time.

"This is so awesome daddy!" Grace exclaimed beyond excited that her grandma and grandpa were here in Hawaii, there was so much she wanted to show them. Steve just smiled and chuckled seeing the wheels literally turning in her head.

"You are kind of amazing." Danny whispered standing directly in front of Steve. "This is why we got a week off too isn't it?" Steve nodded reaching up to wipe away a stray tear from Danny's eye. Sometimes Steve just managed to overwhelm him with how much he loved him. "Thank you." Steve shrugged not seeing how this was a big deal.

"Alright the grill is ready and raring to go, so how about we get this barbeque cooking?" Chin asked smiling widely at the love that surrounded them. There was no better way to kick off their first vacation since the beginning of Five-0 than by having a barbeque.

The sun was shining, the burgers and hot dogs were cooking on the grill, the drinks were flowing, and Grace was itching to get in the water. It was a perfect afternoon in Hawaii, yet Steve was beginning to get nervous. He knew that at any moment Grace was going to set her part of the plan in motion and then from there it would game on. He tried to keep his hands from shaking, but it suddenly became real.

"Hey Danno?" Grace asked standing politely next to Danny waiting for him to acknowledge her.

"Yes Monkey?" Danny replied smiling brightly down at his sweet daughter.

"Can I go boogey boarding?"

"Sure Monkey, as long as someone watches you." Grace smiled brightly and looked over at Kono, who smiled at her and nodded, it was a part of the plan.

"I'm down for getting in the water Danny, I'll watch her." Grace squealed in excitement and ran towards the house to get her suit.

"Can you get my board from the garage Danno?" She called back not waiting for the answer before running up the stairs trying to keep herself from blurting out the plan. She's been doing well so far but today it was nearly impossible since it was going to happen today. She only hoped that it worked out for her Danno and Daddy.

Danny shook his head and took off towards the garage. "I blame you for this." Danny joked as he passed by Steve making sure to flash a sincere smile to know he was joking. Steve shook his head a nervous smile spreading across his face. He glanced at Lynn, who only flashed him a reassuring smile and motioning for him to follow Danny.

Steve took a deep breath and turned going in the same direction as his partner, giving himself a last minute pep talk on the way.

Danny walked into the garage walking right past the work bench, the work bench that had started his relationship with Steve. As he passed the place that once held John McGarrett's tool box, Danny stopped finally noticing the small black box sitting open on the work bench shining lightly in the gleam of sunlight. He picked up the box Danny examined the simple platinum band.

"I can't believe that two and half years ago that when I walked into this garage to get my father's tool box that I would find everything I was missing in my life." Danny whipped his head towards the door that Steve had just walked in. "You have managed to go from some haole that loved ranting about anything and everything, to becoming everything. You complete me, as cheesy as that sounds, because you are everything I'm not. I love you more than I've loved anyone else in the world and I want to spend forever with you. So Daniel Joseph Williams, will you make me the happiest man on earth and marry me?" Steve asked pulling the ring from Danny's hand and getting down on one knee. Since this was the first time that Steve was getting to propose, he wanted to it to be as traditional as he and Danny were not.

Danny stared down at Steve going back and forth from the ring to Steve's hopeful eyes. His mind was in overdrive trying to figure out how he'd missed his partner planning such a huge surprise. The silence dragged on between them while Danny tried to put the pieces of the puzzles together and Steve sat there his heart sinking a little bit with each passing moment of silence. Finally, after what felt like forever passed between them, Steve nervously cleared his throat dropping his hand to his side. For a moment he wondered what he had missed. He thought that they were on the same page, but in the end it seemed that the pain from Rachel was still too great for Danny to overcome.

Danny watched Steve getting up and the light bulb went off, he hadn't given Steve an answer. He saw the hurt look flash across Steve's face and Danny felt his heart clench. "Yes." He said grabbing Steve's attention and making him whip his head up.

"Yes?" Steve asked hoping he wasn't hearing things. Danny smiled and nodded his head chuckling when Steve's smile seem to split his face in two.

"Yes you crazy goof." Steve crashed his lips against Danny's while somehow managing to slip the ring onto Danny's hand. "I'm sorry it took me so long to answer, you rendered me speechless with your sweet words. I'm pretty sure that's the longest conversation you've ever had about your feelings, it was shocking." Steve chuckled and kissed Danny hungrily again. Danny complied molding his body to Steve's as their tongues dueled for dominance. Pulling away everything seemed to click in Danny's head. "You planned all of this didn't you?" Steve chuckled resting his forehead against Danny's.

"I couldn't just go into this half cocked; you always tell me I need to thoroughly think things through right?" Danny smiled wrapping his arms around Steve's waist pulling him even closer to him.

"I knew that it was only a matter of time before you finally got it. I can't believe I didn't see any of it, you must have been on full on ninja mode."

"Only the best for my Danno." Danny chuckled and kissed Steve gently. "We better get Grace's board before she worries that you said no." Danny nodded and turned to get Grace's boogey board before sharply turning back towards Steve.

"You asked Grace?" Steve stopped tilting his head in confusion.

"Of course I asked Grace, she's important to you and her opinion matters. I asked her before I asked for parents actually." Danny felt his heart melt at Steve's explanation.

"You never seize to amaze me Super SEAL." Steve smiled kissing Danny quickly before grabbing his non-ringed hand and leading him back towards the lanai. He couldn't wait to announce the good news.

Grace was waiting on pins and needles for Steve and Danno to come back from the garage. With each passing moment, her anxiety and worry seemed to grow and take over her whole body. She really hoped that Danno said yes and that he liked the ring because it took a long time to pick it out. Finally she saw Steve coming towards her and shot up from her seat rushing over towards them. She stopped when she saw the ring glittering in the sunlight as Danno's hand moved. Screaming like a teenager who had just seen Justin Bieber, she whipped back towards everyone that had turned towards her.

"He said yes!" She exclaimed before turning and launching herself into her father's arms, while also pulling Steve into their hug. Everyone smiled and congratulated them, knowing it was only a matter of time before Steve and Danny would be taking the next step and make their relationship official.
