Chapter 7

Later that week, Steve took the girls to see a tour of their new schools. They received their lockers, class schedules, a map, and met with their homeroom teachers. Unfortunately, since the school year had already started, neither girl could join any of the fall sports teams.

"I'm sorry about that, you two. I know how about you two love volleyball."

"That's o.k., dad. As long as it wasn't softball, I'm o.k. with not being on the team for a season. I mean this is a new school, I think my first couple of months here I should focus on making some friends."

"That's a good way of looking at it, Allie cat." he said as they were walking out of the school. That's when he noticed the sign for the football game that Saturday. "Hey, you girls want to see how the kings play?"

"Sure."

"Good cause there is a football game this Saturday."

When Steve got to work, he told his co-workers about it and they were all excited and wanted to go. "Hey, Danny, you should bring Grace. She can meet Allie and Livy."

"Yeah and she can also meet all of the crazy people daddy works with too. Yeah I'll bring her, I have her this weekend so it works out."

That Saturday

The girls were having a good time at the game, he two of them along with Kono kept yelling at the ref for making bad calls.

"I'm glad they're on our side." Steve said to Chin.

"They're just getting warmed up."

Then they saw Danny and a little girl of about eight approaching them, "Sorry, we're late."

"It's o.k. you made it."

"Hi, Gracie, I'm Steve. It's great to meet you finally. Your daddy, he talks a lot about you."

"He talks a lot about you too." Gracie said causing everyone to laugh.

"We commiserate. It's a father-daughter thing."

"Hi, I'm Kono."

"And I'm Uncle Chin."

"Are you a football player?"

"I used to be. I used to play quarterback for that red team."

"He was a legend too, until I came along and shattered all of his records."

"Hi, Uncle Danny." Both of the McGarrett girls said before hugging him from behind.

"Hi, Gracie, these are Steve's daughter's: Allie and Livy."

"Hi, Grace."

"Hi, I like your braids." Liv had braided portions of her hair and put feathers or beads at the end.

"Well, I can do it for your hair one of these days."

"Really?"

"Yeah. Do you have cell phone. We'll get together and I'll show you how to do it."

"That's a really pretty tennis outfit." Kono said to Grace.

"Yeah, I had to pick her up today at a country club." Danny covered his daughter's ears before continuing, "Step-Stan decided that she should start taking tennis lessons."

"What's wrong with tennis, Danny?"

"I'll tell you what's wrong with tennis, it can be played on a table which makes it an activity not an actual sport. You throw the ball, I catch the ball, that's an actual sport. Alright, it's my duty as a father to teach my daughter the difference."

"Dad, I can hear you." Grace said getting annoyed.

"Well your not supposed to be listening. Huh, cause your supposed to be paying attention because it's football. It's a sport."

A little bit later, Grace turned to Danny and said, "Danno, I'm hungry."

"How can you be hungry we ate an hour ago?"

"We didn't have nachos an hour ago."

"What was I thinking, of course we didn't. Come on, let's go. You guys want anything?"

"I want another soda. I'll come with you guys." Liv said.

"Hey, get me some." Steve said.

"So, Allie, you nervous about starting Kukui high?" Kono asked.

"A little bit only because I don't know anyone in my grade and everyone has already made friends and I'm starting a month after everybody."

"Don't worry, you'll make plenty of friends." Chin said.

The ref made another bad call so Allie stood up and yelled at him. This drew the attention of some very cute sixteen year old boys. "Woah, Allie, those boys are checking you out. Kono whispered to the girl.

"What, no they're not? Oh my God they are. They're really cute."

"Don't get any ideas, Allie. You can't date until you are a sophomore in high school."

"You just made that up."

"Yes I did but I'm the father and what I say goes."

"Whatever." both her and Kono said at the same time.

With Danny, Liv, and Grace.

"Is this place great or what? I mean it's a real ballpark here. Remember Yankee Stadium?"

"Uh huh." Grace said.

He let the girls talk while he ordered. "So, Gracie, how old are you?"

"Eight. What about you and Allie."

"Well I'm eleven and Allie's fourteen but we still get a long great."

"Did you really mean what you said about us hanging out?"

"Of course, why wouldn't I mean it?"

"I don't know. It's just that your older than me."

"Hey, both of our dads are on the same team, that bonds us too. You're kinda gonna be like a little cousin to me and Allie. Trust me, we're gonna have a lot of fun together. Why don't you ask your mom and dad if you can sleep over sometime."

"That's nice of you to offer, Livy. Is your dad alright with that?"

"He won't mind. Can she, Uncle Danny?"

"Of course."

The girls continued talking, when Danny noticed guys with guns. He took Liv and Grace over to a woman with her own children and said, "Excuse me. I'm a police officer. This is my daughter, Grace, and my partner's daughter, Liv. I need you to take your daughter and the two of them into the bathroom and wait until I get back, alright?"

"O.k."

"Thank you. Hey, Monkey, listen to me. This nice lady is going to watch you for a little bit. I want you to go with her."

"Daddy."

"Hey, Livy is going too and I'm just gonna make sure there are no bad guys o.k. I'll be right back. I love you."

The woman ushered them into the bathroom while Danny called Steve and let him know the situation. "We got trouble. Kono, call HPD for back up. Allie, go to the parking lot and wait by the truck."

Allie ran there and waited in the car until everyone showed up. An HPD officer took Grace, Allie and Livy to Grace's house where she was enveloped in a big hug by her mother. "Oh and who are you two?" Rachel asked kindly.

"Oh, hello, ma'am. I'm Allie McGarrett and this is my sister, Liv. Our father is Steve McGarrett, Uncle Danny's partner."

"Oh well it's nice to meet you girls."

"Likewise. Umm, ma'am, we were wondering if Grace can spend the night at our house?"

"Oh well considering the circumstances, I don't really think that that is a good idea right now."

"Please, mom, I want to go over to their house."

"Oh alright. I'll drive you girls there."

"Thank you, ma'am."

"Please call me Rachel."

Rachel took the three girls over to the McGarrett house and let them hang out. Around, six, they order a pizza and a whole bunch of appetizers while they watched movies and painted each other's nails.

"So, Grace, where do you like it better, here or Newark?"

"I don't know. I like both."

"Same with us, we can't choose between L.A. and Hawaii either." Allie said.

"What was L.A. like?" did you meet any movie stars?"

"Yes, actually. We have pictures, do you want to see?"

They showed Grace the photos and ended up falling asleep on the floor. By the time Steve got home, he couldn't help but chuckle at the position that they were in. He covered them up with blankets and then went to bed.
