Steve was sitting behind his desk when his phone rang.

"McGarrett," Steve answered the phone.

"Is this Steve McGarrett?" A female voice asked.

"Yes this is him. Who is this?"

"My name is Rebecca Harper, I'm a nurse at Pacific Health. I'm calling about Catherine McGarrett."

"Is everything alright?" Steve asked concerned.

"Your wife and kids were in an accident."

"Are they okay?"

"They are in with the doctor now."

"I'm on my way."

Steve hung up the phone, quickly grabbed his car keys and ran out of the office. The others sat in there office and saw Steve sprinting by. Danny got up and ran after Steve.

"Steve, everything okay?" Danny asked as he caught up to Steve just before he got in the car.

"I have to go, Catherine has been in an accident."

"Is she okay?"

"I don't know, I have to go."

Steve got in his truck and quickly drove to the hospital. He walked up to the desk clerk.

"My wife was brought in here, she was in an accident."

"What's her name?"

"Catherine McGarrett."

The clerk looked her up on the board.

"She's still in with the doctor. If you please have a seat in the waiting area sir."

"No, I need to see my wife. Where are my kids? I was told they were in the accident as well."

The clerk looked them up. "They are in exam room 2, it's over there."

Steve quickly walked over to the room. When he came in both of his kids were crying.

"Can I help you?" The female doctor asked.

"I'm their father. How are they?"

"They are fine. They just won't stop crying since they were brought in. But we examined them closely and they have no injuries. They are probably just crying because they are scared."

Steve let out a relieved sigh as he walked over to the bed.

"Hey, it's okay, daddy's here." Steve picked them up and held them close to him. "Shhhh, it's okay. Daddy's got you."

The kids calmed down after a while.

"Are you sure they are okay doctor?"

"Yes, we've examined them thoroughly, they are fine."

"Do you know how my wife is doing?"

"I believe she's still in with the doctor but I'll go see what I can find out."

Steve sat down on the bed with his kids.

"Don't worry, mommy's gonna be alright."

A little later the doctor came back into the room.

"Your wife has been brought upstairs for surgery. You can wait in the waiting room there."

Steve's heart sank to the ground, she couldn't be in surgery. He feared for her life and the babies' life.

"Do you know how she is? How the babies are doing?"

"I'm sorry sir, I don't have any information about your wife's condition."

Steve walked upstairs and sat down in the waiting area. The kids had fallen asleep in his arms.

Steve sat there for 2 hours without any information about Catherine.

"Hey Steve." Steve looked up as he heard Danny's voice.

"Hey Danny."

"How is she?"

"I don't know, she's still inside."

"She'll be alright Steve," Danny tried to reassure him.

"Maybe, but what about the babies? If they have to operate on her it's likely that she lost the babies."

"I'm sorry Steve."

They sat there for another hour before Catherine's doctor came out.

"Family of Catherine McGarrett," the male doctor spoke and Steve stood up.

He handed the kids over to Danny and walked up to the doctor.

"I'm her husband, how is she?"

"She was in a car accident. They were some internal bleedings we had to fix and we had to take her spleen out."

"How are the babies?" Steve asked but his gut was telling him they weren't alright.

"I'm sorry sir, but she lost the babies."

Steve closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

"Can I go see her?"

"Right this way."

Steve looked over to Danny and Danny nodded, telling him it was okay to go see Catherine.

Steve walked into the room and saw Catherine lying on the bed. She lay motionless. She looked pale and had some cuts in her face. Steve couldn't believe this was happening. He walked up to the bed, sat down on the chair and grabbed her hand in his. Steve kissed her hand and couldn't stop the tears from flowing.

Steve sat there for a while before Danny came in with the kids.

"How is she?" Danny asked.

"She lost the babies."

"I'm sorry Steve. How is Catherine?"

"She lost some blood and they had to take out her spleen, but she should be alright."

"You'll get through this Steve," Danny replied as he put a reassuring hand on Steve's shoulder.

"I hope so."

"Do you want me to look after Kye and Kailani?"

"No it's okay. You can leave them here. I'll have the nanny come pick them up."

"Alright, hang in there Steve, if you need anything, I'm just a call away."

"Thanks Danny."

Danny wanted to leave the room but Steve stopped.

"Danny," Steve spoke and Danny turned around. "Can you do me a favor?"

"Anything."

"Can you find out what happened with Catherine? How she got into the accident."

"Sure of course."

"Thanks Danny."

Danny left the room and Steve looked at his kids sleeping in their car seats. He was glad they were okay. He hoped their mommy would be okay as well.

He sat there for a while waiting for Catherine to wake up. An hour and a half after Catherine was brought in Steve felt her squeeze his hand. He looked up and saw her eyelids fluttering.

"Cath, honey, it's okay, I'm here, open your eyes honey."

Slowly Catherine opened her eyes and she looked around confused until she saw Steve.

"Steve," Catherine spoke softly.

"Yeah, it's okay Cath, it's me, you're safe."

"What happened?"

"You don't remember?"

"I remember driving my car, I was on my way to get groceries, and then everything went black."

"You were in an accident."

"Kye and Kailani," Catherine replied terrified. "They were with me in the car."

"They are fine honey, look they are sleeping in their car seats."

Catherine looked over to the couch where Kye and Kailani were and let out a relieved sigh.

"Are you sure they are okay?"

"Yes honey, they are fine. The doctor checked them out."

"And the babies?" Catherine asked as her hands went to her stomach.

Steve looked down. He had no idea how to tell her this.

"I'm sorry Catherine. We lost the babies."

Catherine couldn't believe it. "No, no," Catherine cried.

"I'm sorry honey."

Catherine couldn't stop herself from crying. Steve sat down next to her on the bed and pulled her in for a hug.

"I'm so sorry honey."

Steve sat there for a while with a crying Catherine in his arms until they were interrupted by Kye's cry. Just a Steve picked up Kye Kailani woke up to. He picked up Kye and placed him in Catherine's arms and he went back to pick up Kailani. With Kailani in his arms he sat down next to Catherine on the bed.

Catherine looked down at Kye lying in her arms. She was glad that Kye and Kailani were okay but she still couldn't believe she had lost the babies. She held Kye close to her and gave him a soft kiss.

"Mommy loves you," Catherine told him softly.

Catherine leaned against Steve as he put his arm around her.

"I'm sorry Steve."

"For what honey?"

"For losing the babies."

"It's not your fault honey. You don't need to blame yourself. You were in an accident. That was not your fault. It's not your fault honey. We'll get through this together," Steve told her and gave her a soft kiss on her head. "I'm just glad the three of you are okay. I love you honey."

"I love you too Steve."

After a while Steve noticed Catherine had fallen asleep. He placed Kailani back in her car seat and then did the same with Kye. Just a he had put the twins in their car seats Danny walked in.

"Hey Steve, how is she?"

"She woke up about an hour ago. She seemed to be doing okay."

"Good. I did some digging into the accident and I found a security camera that caught the accident. HPD put a BOLO out on the vehicle. I told HPD what happened and they handed the case over to us. They found the car parked at a home in Waikiki. HPD is keeping an eye on the place and is waiting for us before they go in.

"I can't leave Catherine and the babies here."

"I knew you wouldn't so I called your nanny to watch them while you're gone," Danny spoke and Steve and Catherine's nanny walked in.

"I'm so sorry Steve," Lauren spoke.

"Thanks and thank you for coming to watch them."

"You're welcome. Just get the bastard who did this to Catherine."

Steve gave his kids and Catherine a soft kiss before he and Danny left. When they arrived at the scene Kono and Chin were already there. Steve and Danny geared up and joined them.

"What do we know Duke?" Steve asked.

"Male suspect is inside. We have not spotted any movement and it appears he is alone."

Steve took the megaphone.

"Andy Miller, Steve McGarrett, Five-0. Come out with your hands up!"

There came gunfire out of the house.

"I take it that's a no," Danny stated.

"I'm not gonna asked again. Come out with your hands up!"

Again came the gunfire. HPD and Steve and Danny returned fire.

"Seize fire," Steve called after a while.

There was no more gunfire coming out of the house. Steve walked towards the house and kicked in the front door with Danny behind him. They cleared the entire house but Miller was no were to be found.

"Clear," Danny called.

"Clear," came the response from Steve. Then Steve saw him running out of the garden. "Danny we got a runner."

Steve took off and ran after him. Steve managed to catch up to him pretty soon and jumped on him and tackled him to the ground. Miller lay with his head towards Steve. Steve wanted to punch him so bad.

"You son of a bitch," Steve yelled at him as he punched him the face. "You stupid idiot. Do you have any idea what you've done?" Steve yelled at him as he kept punching him.

"Steve, take it easy, Steve!" Danny tried to get through to his partner.

Together with Chin Danny pulled Steve off of Miller.

"He's crazy man," Miller shouted.

"You're lucky. Frankly I wouldn't have minded it if he beat you to dead."

"I didn't do anything."

"You didn't do anything?!" Steve's face was red hot with anger.

"Steve, take it easy," Chin tried to calm him down.

"You ran a red light earlier today, you hit a car. His wife and kids were in the car," Danny told him.

"I swear, I didn't hit any car."

Steve was ready to punch him again but Chin held him back. Kono pulled out her tablet and showed Miller the footage of the accident.

"We've got you and the camera. See it's you driving the car so don't deny anything," Kono told him. "Andy Miller you're under arrest for aggravated assault."

"Aggravated assault? I didn't assault anyone."

Steve stepped forward. "You assaulted my wife and kids when he hit the car. My wife lost her babies because of you," Steve shouted at him. "You are going away for a long time. Get him out of here."

"You okay Steve?" Chin asked.

"Yeah, I just can't believe this guy."

"We got him Steve, he's going away. I know it doesn't bring the babies back, but at least he'll pay for it."

Chin saw that Steve wasn't really listening.

"Steve, I've been where you are. I know how it feels. Don't let it become your whole life. You've got Catherine and Kye and Kailani. They need you right now."

"Can you finish up here?"

"Yeah sure."

Steve drove back to the hospital. He paused for a moment before he walked into Catherine's room. To Steve's surprise Catherine was awake.

"Hey honey," Catherine greeted him.

"Hey baby," Steve responded and gave her a kiss.

"How did it go?"

"Fine, we caught the guy that hit you, he's going away for a while."

"That's good."

"How are you feeling?"

"Okay, could be better."

"We'll get through this honey," Steve spoke as he sat down on the bed and took her hand.

"I'm just glad Kye and Kailani are fine."

"Yeah, don't worry about them honey. They are fine."

"I'll take them home with me," Lauren spoke.

"Thank you for coming Lauren," Catherine replied.

"No worries, you just focus on getting better. I'll take care of the twins."

"Thank you Lauren," Steve told her.

Steve and Catherine kissed the babies goodbye before Lauren took them home. Steve sat next to Catherine and pulled her in his arms.

"I'm just glad you are okay honey," Steve told her. "I know it's rough losing the babies but I'm just glad I didn't lose you too."

"I guess it wasn't meant to be this time around."

"Perhaps. I know it happened very soon after the twins were born but I was really happy to have another baby with you."

"I know, me too," Catherine replied with a sob.

"It'll be okay honey," Steve told her as he pulled her closer and gave her a kiss on her head.

"Can you stay here with me tonight?"

"Of course honey. I'm right here. I'm not going anywhere."

Steve lay there on the bed with Catherine in his arms. A little later he noticed Catherine had fallen asleep. Quietly he got up from the bed and placed her back down on the bed. He walked out of the room and looked at the time. It was 9pm. He grabbed his phone and called Lauren.

"Hey Steve," Lauren spoke as she answered the phone. "How's Catherine?"

"She's asleep now, she doing okay considering. How are the kids?"

"They are asleep."

"Good. Could you stay the night please, I'm staying here in the hospital with Catherine."

"Of course Steve, don't worry about the kids. I've got them. You just take care of Catherine."

"Thank you."

"No problem, I'll bring them by the hospital tomorrow morning."

"That's fine. Could you please check on them every once in a while? I just wanna make sure they are okay."

"Of course, I'll keep an eye on them."

"Great thanks. I'll see you tomorrow. Call me if you need me."

"I will. See you."

Steve hung up the phone and sat down on one of the chairs in the hallway. He buried his face in his hands and couldn't stop the tears from falling. Why did they have to lose the babies? He was glad Catherine, Kye and Kailani were okay. He couldn't bear the thought of losing them.

Catherine woke up and noticed that Steve wasn't in the room.

"Steve!" Catherine yelled afraid.

Steve looked up as he heard her yell. He quickly stood up and ran into the room.

"Catherine it's okay," Steve spoke to her and he saw the terrified look in her eyes. He sat down on the bed next to her and gathered her in his arms. "It's okay honey, I'm here, it's okay, you're safe."

"Kye, Kailani," Catherine softly spoke.

"They are fine honey, they are at home with Lauren."

"You sure?"

"Yes honey. They are fine. Trust me. What happened?"

"I guess it was just a bad dream."

"It's okay honey. You were in a car accident, but you're safe now. I've got you. I'm here with you. Just go back to sleep. I'll be here."

Steve took his shoes off and lowered the bed. He crawled under the cover and pulled Catherine close to him. Catherine laid her head against Steve's chest. Steve gave her a soft kiss on her head and pulled her as close as he could.

The next morning Catherine woke up when a nurse walked into the room.

"Sorry for waking you miss, I just came to check on you. How are you feeling?"

"A bit better I guess. Still a bit tired and weak."

"That's understandable. You lost some blood. Any pain?"

"No, it's okay. Just a bit when I try to breathe."

"Yeah, you bruised some ribs. The pain medications from the surgery are wearing off now. If you want something for the pain just press the call light."

"I will thank you."

"Just rest up, I'll be back later."

Just as the nurse walked out of the Steve walked into the room.

"Hey honey," he greeted Catherine and gave her a kiss. "How are you feeling?"

"A bit better."

"Good. Now let's see if we can get some breakfast in you," Steve spoke pointing to the breakfast on the tray.

"I'm not hungry Steve."

"You have to eat something honey?"

"I'm not hungry."

"Cath, if you don't eat you won't get better. Come on honey, you don't have to eat everything, just a bit."

Catherine managed to eat half of the sandwich.

Just as Catherine finished the sandwich Lauren came in with Kye and Kailani.

"Good morning," Lauren spoke.

"Good morning Lauren, how were the kids?" Steve asked.

"Two little angels. They slept quietly till 7.30am."

"That's good. Hey you two," Steve spoke as he looked over their car seat.

Kye and Kailani smiled as they heard their father's voice.

"Daddy missed you two," Steve spoke as he first picked up Kailani.

Steve brought Kailani over to Catherine and handed Kailani to her.

"Hey my little sweetie, mommy missed you."

"Just call me when you want me to pick them up," Lauren spoke.

"Thank you Lauren for watching them," Catherine replied.

"It's my pleasure. You just focus on getting better."

….

It had been a week since the accident. Catherine was just released from the hospital. She still had to stay home for about 6 weeks before going back to work. It still hurt that they had lost the babies but Steve and Catherine were dealing with it. Steve worked from home whenever he could. He was only at the office when they were working a case. Lauren was there to help Catherine when Steve was at work.

Catherine was sitting on the couch and looked at Kye and Kailani playing. She was thankful that they were alright but she was sad that she had lost the other two babies.

"Why don't you go get some rest Catherine, I'll watch Kye and Kailani," Lauren suggested.

Catherine wanted to be with them but she was feeling tired. Maybe an hour of sleep wouldn't be so bad. Catherine stood up and walked upstairs and lay down on the bed. She quickly fell asleep.

She woke up about 2 hours later. She went downstairs. When she came downstairs no one was in the house.
