"What is it honey?" Steve asked wondering what she was going to tell him.
"I'm pregnant."
"You're pregnant?" Steve asked with a smile on his face.
"Yes I am, around 8 weeks along."
Steve smiled at her as he crashed his lips down on hers.
"I love you honey," Steve told her once he was done kissing.
"I love you too honey."
"I can't believe we're having another baby."
"Are you happy about it?"
"Of course I'm happy about it. I'm always happy to have another baby with you."
"Me too, I just hope this time we'll be able to keep it."
"I'm sure we will honey. I can feel it."
"I hope you're right. I can't handle losing another one."
"It's gonna be fine Cath. I promise."
Catherine smiled as she kissed him. Steve eagerly kissed her back. Clothes were quickly discarded and thrown across to room before Steve buried himself inside of her. 2 hours later they lay tangled up basking in the afterglow of their love making. Catherine gave him one more kiss before she snuggled into his chest. Steve put his arms around her and pulled her close. He still couldn't believe that they were having another baby. He was so happy about it. He just hoped this time everything would be okay. He was looking forward to becoming a dad again.
After a while they both fell asleep. The next morning when Steve woke up Catherine wasn't in the bed anymore. He went out to find her and found her in the bathroom hanging above the toilet. He hated seeing her like this but he knew it was because they were having another baby.
"You okay honey?" Steve asked as he held her hair and rubbed her back.
"Yeah, I'm okay, just morning sickness."
"I'm sorry."
"It's okay. It's all part of being pregnant."
"I know, I just hate seeing you like this."
"I'll be fine honey."
Catherine threw up one more before she rinsed out her mouth and splashed some water in her face. They were about to go back to bed when they heard the twins crying.
"I'll get them," Steve told her and walked to the twins' room. "Good morning you two. You're up early."
"Dada," Kye spoke as Steve picked her up.
"Hey buddy."
Steve gave him a kiss on moved to pick up Kailani. He gave her a kiss too and took them to their bedroom.
"Look who's here mommy."
"Hey, my two little sweeties."
Steve handed Kye off to Catherine and got in the bed next to her with Kailani. Catherine loved mornings like this, just lying in the bed with the twins. Steve put the TV on and together they watched a bit of TV before going out of bed. They sat down at the kitchen table and had breakfast. Steve took the kids to the living room while Catherine cleaned up and went to do some laundry.
Steve looked at his kids and wondered what it would be like when the new baby would be here. He smiled when he pictured a new baby in the house. He was so happy to become a father again. He loved being a father so much. He was always happy to come home at the end of the day so he could see his kids again.
Steve watched as Kye and Kailani played from the couch. Kye pulled himself up at the table and walked round the table till he had reached Steve. He put one hand out and put it on Steve's knee.
"Hey buddy."
Kye smiled at him as he removed his other hand from the table and put it on Steve's knee as well. Kye was all smiles as he used Steve's knees as a drum.
"Having fun buddy?"
Steve pulled him up on his lap and stood him on his leg. He brought him closer and blew kissed on his tummy causing Kye to giggle. Kailani crawled over to Steve and wanted his attention too. Steve pulled her on his lap too and gave both kids tummy kisses.
Catherine peaked around the corner and smiled as she saw Steve with the kids. He really was a great daddy. She put her hands on her stomach and wondered how it would be with the new baby. Steve saw her and smiled at her.
….
Catherine had a doctor's appointment today to determine how far along she actually was. Steve and the twins went with her.
"Good morning Mrs. McGarrett," the doctor greeted her as they walked in.
"Good morning doctor."
"And I believe these two just turned one."
"Yes they have."
They sat down on the chairs.
"I've got your test results here. You are 9 weeks pregnant right now. How are you doing so far?"
"I'm okay, just a bit morning sickness. But I'm afraid to lose the baby again."
"I understand. But what happened last time was not your fault. You were in an accident. There's nothing medically wrong with you so there's a good change you will keep this baby."
"I hope so, I can't lose another baby."
"We'll make sure that everything is okay, but there are no guarantees."
"I understand."
"Shall we go see what the little baby is up to?"
Catherine and Steve followed the doctor to the exam room. Catherine handed Kailani to Steve and she went to change. She came out in a hospital gown and she lay down on the table. The doctor put a type of condom on the wand, fired up the machine and pushed the wand inside Catherine's vagina. The doctor moved it around until she found the baby.
"There is it," the doctor spoke as she pointed to the screen.
Catherine and Steve both watched with a smile on their faces. They saw their little baby. There was a new baby growing inside Catherine.
"The baby looks fine so far, it's positioned nicely in your womb. I'll give you your first picture and then I'll see you in three weeks."
The doctor pressed some buttons on the keyboard before pulling the wand out. Catherine went to get dressed again. The doctor handed the picture to Steve and they made an appointment on the way out.
"I can't believe that there's another baby growing inside of you," Steve told her as they were in the car.
"I know me neither. I hope we'll be able to keep it this time."
"I'm sure of it honey. This feels good."
"I hope you're right."
Steve dropped Catherine off at home before going to work. Catherine sat outside while the kids played on their play mats. She looked at the ultrasound picture. There was another baby growing inside of her. She was happy to be pregnant but she was also scared that she would lose this baby. She really hoped she wouldn't lose it, she wouldn't be able to handle losing another baby. She looked at Kye and Kailani and thought back to when she was pregnant with them. She remembered when she found out she was pregnant, she was so happy. Than they learned they were having twins. Sure it wasn't easy when the twins were just born but they handled it pretty well. And they are so cute. She remembered seeing them for the first time and holding them in her arms. It was the most beautiful moment in the world, she was so happy to share that with Steve. She really wanted another baby and she hoped that it would be this baby. She put her hands on her stomach and watched Kye and Kailani playing. She wondered how they would be with another baby here.
Just before 6pm Steve came home. He walked outside to where Catherine was.
"There's my beautiful pregnant wife," Steve spoke as he walked outside.
Catherine turned to him and smiled. "Hey honey."
Steve gave her a kiss and put his hand on her stomach. "How was your day?"
"Fine, quiet. Yours?"
"Quiet. Just a bunch of paperwork."
"Dada," Kailani squealed as she crawled over to Steve.
"Hey sweetie," Steve replied as he picked her up and gave her kisses. "Daddy missed you."
"Dada."
"Daddy loves you. Can you see mama too? Say mama."
"Dada."
"No mama, say mama."
"Dada."
"It's okay Steve, she'll say mama soon enough." Catherine stood up. "I'm gonna go prepare dinner."
"I'll stay out here and just play with the kids."
Steve took Kailani over to where Kye was and sat with them as they played on their play mats.
Catherine looked out of the kitchen window and saw Steve with their kids. He was such a great daddy. He absolutely loved being a dad and the kids loved him. Catherine smiled as she watched them play.
They had dinner and put the kids in bath before taking them to bed.
"Goodnight munchkins," Steve spoke before they exited the room. "I'm just gonna go for a swim, if that's okay with you."
"That's perfectly fine."
Steve gave her a kiss before he disappeared into their bedroom to go change.
Catherine was sitting in the chairs near the beach when Steve came back 30 minutes later. Catherine watched as he game out of the water.
'Damn, that man looks so good,' Catherine thought as she watched Steve. His abs were just so perfect. The water even made his torso looked even more beautiful. Catherine's hormones were definitely already in overdrive.
"Hey honey," Steve spoke as he saw Catherine walked up to him.
Catherine didn't respond. She crashed her lips down on his. Steve put his arms around her and pulled her closer. Catherine lifted her legs and wrapped them around his waist. Steve held her as he walked them inside. Steve could feel Catherine's desire. He tore his lips away from hers and moved down to her neck.
"Steve," Catherine moaned as he found her spot.
Catherine knew she wasn't going to make it upstairs.
"Steve, table."
"I love this side of you," Steve smirked at her.
"Just shut up and hurry up."
Steve quickly took their clothes off and used his fingers on her as he kissed her breasts. Catherine felt already on edge and Steve had hardly done anything. It didn't take her long before she reached her peak. Once she came down from her high she grabbed Steve and pushed him inside of her.
"Oh god Cath," Steve cursed.
"I just want you."
"I can feel that."
They made love on the table their before Steve carried them upstairs without pulling out of her. He turned on the shower and got in with Catherine.
"Oh Steve, you know exactly what I like."
"I'm supposed to, you're my wife."
Steve pushed her against the wall and started moving again.
Without drying off Steve stepped out the shower with Catherine after she had reached two more peaks and he one. He carried her to their bedroom and fell down on the bed with her.
They made loved for hours until they were both too tired.
"Wow, that was just wow…." Catherine uttered.
"Yeah it was. How many times did you?"
"I don't know, I lost count."
"I really love this side of you."
"I can't help it. My hormones are acting up."
"Oh I know."
Catherine turned over to him and kissed him. "I love you."
"I love you too."
Catherine snuggled in his arms and together they fell asleep.
….
Steve and Catherine were called in early for a case. Steve already went while Catherine waited for Lauren.
"Thank you for coming so early," Catherine told Lauren as she walked in.
"It's no problem. I understand."
"Thank you. The kids are still asleep, so if you want you go get some more sleep too."
"That's fine."
Catherine left for work as well. When she got to the office she called Steve.
"Hey Cath," Steve answered the phone.
"Hey Steve, I'm at the office. Is there something you need me to run down?"
"Yes, I'll send you some pictures, need some facial reg on them."
"I'm on it."
Catherine hung up on the phone and waited for the pictures. Once the pictures were in she started working on the computer.
30 minutes later the rest of the team was back at the office.
"You've got something Cath?" Steve asked as they walked in.
"Yes, I have facial reg on 2 of your guys. Hachiro and Kaito Saito, they have connections to the Yakuza."
"The Yakuza?" Steve repeated.
"Yes, they arrived in Honolulu yesterday afternoon. A cab picked them up and at the airport and brought them to this address," Catherine spoke as she pulled up a picture of the house.
"That's one of Wo Fat's old houses," Steve stated.
"Why would they go to one of Wo Fat's houses?" Danny questioned. "Wo Fat's dead."
"Let's go see if we can find something there."
Steve, Danny, Chin and Kono left for the house while Catherine did some more research on the case.
"Is something wrong with Catherine?" Danny asked when he and Steve were in the car.
"No, why do you ask?"
"Just cus she's staying at the office for the last few days and not going out in the field with us."
"She's fine Danny, we need someone at the office too who's running searches."
"I know, usually Kono does that."
"Now Catherine does it. She's fine Danny, I can assure you."
"If you say so, I still feel like there's something more."
"That's your feeling. There's nothing more." Steve hated to lie to Danny but they had agreed not to tell anyone until she was in her second trimester.
"Alright." Danny let it go for now but he knew there was more to it.
Steve, Danny, Chin and Kono cleared the house, no one was there, so they started snooping around the place to see if they could find anything. They searched the whole place but there was nothing that could help them solve the case. Just as they were leaving the house gunfire erupted. They quickly duck behind their cars and grabbed their guns. They looked in the direction of the gunfire and returned fire. Seconds later they heard a fan speeding off. Steve ran after them and just caught the license plate. He sent the license plate to Catherine for her to check out.
"Everybody good?" Steve asked as he walked back to the house.
"Yeah, I'm good," came the response of the other three.
They bagged the shell casings and bullets before going back to the office. Kono dropped the bullets and casings off at the lab.
It took them about 7 hours before they finally had a lead in the case. The members of the Yakuza supposedly came here for a business deal, which probably went south. They had found the guys they were meeting. The team, minus Catherine, suited up and left for the address Catherine got on them. Danny shot Catherine a questioned look just before they left. She hoped Steve hadn't told him about the baby just yet.
"Jake Robbins! Five-0! Open the door!" Steve yelled as he knocked on the door. There was no answer so Steve knocked again.
Still no answer so Steve kicked in the door and one by one they moved in.
"Jake Robbins! Get your hands up!" Steve yelled at him. Jake put his hands up. "Book'em Danno."
"What?! I didn't do anything."
"No, how about killing two Yakuza members?"
"What? I didn't do that. I'm not stupid enough to kill Yakuza. If I had I wouldn't be sitting here."
Steve and Danny took him to interrogation.
"If you didn't kill them who did?" Steve asked.
"I have no idea okay. I admit, I did meet them yesterday for a business deal but they were alive when I left. I swear."
"What was the business about?"
"I'm not telling you that."
"Buddy, you're facing murder chargers, it would be best if you would cooperate with us," Danny told him.
"They came to me for some weapons. They needed weapons for their business here in Hawaii. That's all. I met with them, they paid me and I gave them the weapons and I left."
"Maybe you shot them first and took the weapons back with you," Steve spoke.
"I'm not stupid enough to kill Yakuza. I would be dead if I did that."
"Then who did?"
"I don't know. Maybe someone who wanted to have the weapons too."
Steve and Danny left the room.
"Hey, can I go?"
"No," Steve replied before exiting the room.
"Do you have something?" Steve asked as they walked into the office.
"Jake seems to be telling the truth. I got the footage of the security cams just outside the house."
Catherine played the video and they saw Jake leaving with a briefcase and a little later the Yakuza members came out with a big crate.
"I followed the van to a parking lot in Waikiki. They loaded the crate into a truck. I lost the truck somewhere but I did get a license plate and a name and address for you."
"Good work Cath."
The team left and went to the address. Gunfire erupted as soon as they walked up to the house. They returned fire. A few minutes later the gunfire stopped and the team moved in. One of the guys was still alive. Kono and Chin found the crate with weapons. The guy that was still alive wasn't too badly injured.
"Where did you get the weapons from?" Steve asked.
"We bought them."
"See what I'm thinking is you killed two Yakuza members for it and then took the weapons."
"Hell no."
"Steve, I found this, it's the same caliber as the bullet that killed them and shot at us," Danny interjected.
"If that gun matches the bullets we found you're gonna go away for a long time."
Kono brought the gun to the lab and it turned out if was the gun that was used to kill the Yakuza members and the gun that shot at the team. They matched the fingerprints to the guy they had in custody. The case was closed.
Steve finished up his paperwork before he and Catherine went home.
"Hey Lauren," Catherine greeted as they walked in.
"Hey you two, finished with the case?"
"Yes we did. How were the kids?"
"Two little angels. They slept for about an hour after you left."
"That's good."
They watched as Kye and Kailani came crawling over to them.
"Hey sweeties," Catherine spoke as she sat down on her knees.
Once the kids had reached her she picked them up and gave them kisses.
"Thank you for coming so early Lauren," Steve told him.
"It's fine. I'll see you tomorrow."
"See ya."
Steve showed her out and disappeared into the kitchen to make dinner. Catherine sat on the floor in the living room and played with the kids. Suddenly Steve heard a loud crash follow by a cry coming from the living room.
