Disclaimer: see chapter one

Author's note: Thank you so much for your awesome reviews for the previous chapter, they really did make my day. I'm posting this chapter purely because I'm so far ahead with my final essays and projects that I needed to do something else, so this chapter was created. I hope this is completely worth the short wait and that you enjoy this!

"I'm not discussing Daniel's custody agreement with you Commander." Rachel replied turning away from him to check on Charles. Steve sighed and rolled his eyes, of course she'd think that he was going to try and talk about that. He wouldn't even try to discuss that with her, he wouldn't impede on that territory.

"That's not what I want to talk about that at all, that's between you and Danny. No I'm here to let you know that I'm not going anywhere. You need to get over whatever homophobia or disapproval you have against my relationship with Danny. You also need to get over what feelings you have leftover for Danny, I'm not letting you anywhere near him."

"I do not have any romantic feelings left over for Daniel. I love my husband Commander."

"Need I remind you that you were sleeping with him last year? So yes I would say that you have some type of feelings for him. You also need to stop thinking that you have this control over him, and stop using Grace to hurt him. For the first time since the divorce he's happy Rachel and you need to let him have that happiness."

"You have no idea what you're talking about. You have no right to comment on the way that Daniel and I interact with each other, so really I don't see why we're having this conversation." Rachel replied her eyes blazing with anger.

"Practice what you preach Rachel. You have no right to use our relationship against Danny, just because you're jealous. And you are jealous Rachel; I can see it in your eyes right now. You hate that I'm the one that makes him happy, that I'm the one he's decided to be with, but that's how it is Rachel. And you really need to accept it and move on. Because frankly, I'm tired of watching you hurt him because you're unhappy with your marriage."

"Yet again Commander, I'll remind you that you have no idea what you're talking about. My marriage is my business and my dealings with Danny are my business as well."

"I do have an idea, you seem to have forgotten that I was there during the whole affair and I've been around long enough to know, so yeah I do have an idea. You're just a controlling person that can't stand to see Danny happy with someone that's not you. You want him to be waiting in the wings for you to want to be with him again and you used him last year. You slept with him because Stan was ignoring you and you knew he'd be there for you. Then when you found out you were pregnant and wanted to leave the island, you wouldn't wait for him. So please save me the bullshit about this being none of my business, because it became my business when Danny and I decided to be together. So remember Rachel I'm not going anywhere, I love Danny too much to not be with him."

Danny leaned against the open door and smiled as he heard Steve telling Rachel off in a sense. He loved the man even more for staking his claim over him, and although the thought of being claimed would usually enrage him, in this moment it made him extremely happy. It was extremely nice to know that he wasn't alone in this whole mess, for the first time he wasn't going to fight this battle by himself. He waited a few moments before clearing his throat grabbing the attention of Steve and Rachel. "Let's go babe." Steve starred at Danny closely for a moment before nodding his head. "I look forward to hearing from your attorney Rachel." Danny nodded his head in goodbye and reached his hand out to Steve as he reached him at the door. "Thanks for that babe."

"I meant it Danny, I'm here for the long haul and I promise that she won't take Grace away from you." Danny nodded and smiled squeezing Steve's hand as they approached the Camaro and truck. Grace looked up from her shoes and smiled when she saw Danno and Uncle Steve holding hands, she was a little worried that Uncle Steve would be angry with Danno. "Hey Gracie, you ready to get out of here?" Grace nodded and looked between the truck and the Camaro. Steve laughed and held out his hand to Danno.

"What?" Danny asked looking between his outstretched hand and Steve confused.

"Give me your keys, I'll drive the Camaro home and you can drive the truck since Grace is already strapped in." Steve knew that Danny would want to have some alone time with Grace, to yet again remind her that he only fought so hard with Rachel because he loved her so much that he just wanted to spend as much time with her as possible, before she started growing up and hanging out with her friends. Steve was more than happy to give Danny that alone time, because he knew how important it was and plus Steve needed the drive alone to get his head around what was going to happen. He angered the mother bear and he wasn't expecting anything else than a World War with her, and he needed to prepare himself for what was about to hit the fan.

By the time that they both pulled into the driveway Steve's head was much clearer and Danny's shoulders didn't seem as tense or heavy. He could tell that Grace was exactly what Danno needed to remind himself that it was in fact worth the high blood pressure to fight with Rachel, because it allowed him to have their Grace and Danno time. "Hey Monkey, go put your stuff in your room and grab your suit, we're hitting the water." Grace paused as she was grabbing her duffel bag and stared at Danno with huge surprised eyes.

"You're gonna play with me in the water?" Grace asked still completely surprised that Danny would even think about setting foot in the water.

"Sure am, I think after today it's the least I can do for you." Grace lit up like a kid on Christmas and jumped from the truck throwing herself into her Danno's arms. Danny just smiled and hugged her tightly.

"This is gonna be so awesome!" She exclaimed as Steve stood with her duffel bag by the now open door, she raced by barely stopping to grab the bag before flying up the stairs. Steve looked at Danny with a surprised smile on his face.

"Don't even start Super SEAL, I can already see the wheels turning about getting me wet so stop. I'm only doing this because I feel insanely bad for what she had to witness today that I feel like I should do something she's always asked me to do."

"I get it Danno, and I think it's incredibly sweet of you. But don't worry about today, she understands in some way why you fight so much with Rachel and honestly she would probably throw a fit if she didn't get to see you. Plus it's like I told Rachel, I'm going to fight to make sure that you don't lose your time with Gracie. She's important to me to ya know." Danny nodded and pulled Steve down so he could press his lips hotly against Steve's, who moaned into the kiss as Danny's body molded to his. They were lost to the world for a few seconds until Grace slammed the bathroom door forcing them to pull away.

"We should probably talk about what's going to happen and what our game plan is, after Gracie goes to bed of course."

"It's a date Danno, I'll bring the beer." Danny laughed gently knocking against Steve's shoulder as he carried Grace's other bag up the stairs with him as he went to change into his suit. Steve smiled quickly catching up with him and pressing his body fully against Danny's and wrapping his arms around Danny's middle. "I can't wait to get you wet." Danny shook his head, wondering what he had just gotten himself into.

A/N 2: So what'd ya think? I didn't want to make Steve completely angry/mean because that only make it worse, but imagine Scary Steve and that's the Steve I'm going for. Like I always say don't hesitate to let me know what you thought, mistakes, and such (my proofing can only catch so much). ~thatredheadgirl~
