Thank you so much for the reviews, alerts, and PM's. It means a lot to me. For those that were concerned about the Danny and Mary pairing, it's not really what you think, just trust me, please.

Steve stood in the terminal and waited patiently for the passengers to exit. He looked around and took note of the others. There were woman and children holding signs reading Welcome Home. Two young men were holding flowers. There was a row of chauffeurs with signs bearing the name of businessmen. He paced as the passengers entered. Children ran with cries of "Daddy!" and couples embraced and kissed. Friends hugged and businessmen shook hands. Steve watched with awe. He had seen this play out many times in his life. He was rarely on the receiving end of one of those greetings.

The crowd had dispersed and Steve stood alone. He looked around thinking that perhaps he had missed her, when suddenly the doors opened and a group of flight attendants emerged. The group parted and Steve was surprised to see the two women that stood before him. He could not believe his eyes. He expected to see Mary, but he did not expect to see Catherine beside her. A smile erupted from his face as he watched them approach. Catherine was a sight for sore eyes, actually they both were. The past month had been riddled with one case after another and for the first time in a long time, Five-0 had the weekend off. As the two woman approached, he immediately grabbed Catherine in his arms and held her tightly.

"Hey, what about me? Do I get a hug?" Mary remarked. She was smiling, because his reaction was exactly what she hoped it would be.

"Sure" He released Catherine and hugged her. "I don't understand. What? I mean, how?" Steve stuttered

"Wow, SuperSEAL here is at a loss for words" Mary said with sarcasm

Catherine smiled. "Surprise!" she said.

"But how did you two…?" He still couldn't get the words out.

"You see I met this really nice flight attendant who was trying to set me up with her brother" Catherine smiled

"Oh really? And you were willing to meet this brother?" he said

"Well, a girl has to keep her options open, you know" Catherine replied with a smirk. She was obviously joking.

"Yeh, you see, she said that she's stuck in this relationship that's going nowhere and I thought she might like to meet my handsome brother. I mean any guy would be lucky to have her" Mary never did know when to shut up. Catherine was not happy with her remark.

"Mary!" Catherine scolded her

Steve interrupted "Wait a minute, is that how you feel? That you're stuck and we're going nowhere?" Steve was disappointed in the remark and looked at Catherine with a squint in his eye.

Catherine didn't know how to respond. She did feel that way, but he wasn't supposed to know that. Not yet, not now, not in the middle of Honolulu International Airport.

There was a moment of silence as Steve and Catherine stared into each other's eyes. Catherine broke the stare and biting her lower lip asked "Can I get a lift to my hotel?"

Before Steve could reply, Mary responded "Hotel? You're not staying at a hotel. You're going to stay with us, right Steve?" She glared at him

"Of course, I mean why would you stay at a hotel?" He asked

"The base housing had no availability, so I figured I would stay at a hotel until I found something more permanent" Catherine waiting for him to say something

"You're not on leave? You mean to say that you've been reassigned back to Pearl?" Steve was surprised.

"Yes, the Enterprise was decommissioned. Didn't you know that?" She was sure that he would have known

"No, I have been busy with one case after another. That's great. You stay with me as long as you want" He smirked

"Are you sure? I mean you have Mary staying with you, and I know you like your privacy and all" Steve interrupted her thought "Mary leaves tomorrow and I would like for you to stay, If you want to"

"Oh my God! You two are ridiculous. Can we go now?" Mary was impatient. She could now understand how their relationship was stuck as Catherine put it. Neither one of them was willing to make a move. She had her job cut out for her. I've got 24 hours to get these two to move forward. Yeh, piece of cake she thought as she watched them sneak glances at each other.

"Listen, I was thinking" Mary broke the silence as they drove "we should have a barbeque. Let's get your team together and we'll have a nice dinner on the beach and just all get to know each other."

"That sounds like fun" Catherine agreed. She was happy for the suggestion. She wasn't ready for a confrontation with Steve and she knew that if they were alone, that is exactly what would happen.

"Well, the only problem with that is that Chin and Kono are at a family wedding on the big Island" Steve wanted to scrap the idea; he wanted to have a talk with Catherine alone. Getting Mary to leave them alone would be easy.

"What about that cute little partner of yours? He could come." Mary had a crush on Danny.

"My cute partner? I guess I could call him" Steve was reluctant.

"Well, call him!" Mary demanded

Steve looked at Catherine and with disappointment he reached for his phone.

"Can't live without me for two hours?" Danny answered.

"Mary and Cath are here and they want you to come over for a barbeque on the beach. I know that you probably have other plans so…" Steve was trying to drop a hint to Danny to say no.

"I would love to see Mary again, and Cath too. Sure, I'll be right over. I'll pick up some beer." He hung up before Steve could respond to his comment.

Steve was beginning to feel like the world was conspiring against him. He had planned for a nice quiet evening with his sister, only to be surprised by Cath. He was thrilled to see Cath. Truth be told he missed her a great deal. His excitement was soon deflated by the revelation that his girlfriend is feeling stuck in their relationship. What the hell does that mean? He thinks to himself. He figures he needs to be alone with her to discuss this, only to have his sister decide that she wants to hang out with his friends. Since when does she care about my friends? And now he finds out that Mary has a possible crush on Danny. No way is that going to happen. Steve was not having a good evening and he had a feeling that it was only going to get worse. He looked down at his phone and silently wished it would ring with an important case that needed his immediate attention. Unfortunately for him, the phone sat dormant on the console of the truck as he drove to his house.
