I know 4th July has already been but I just had this idea and really wanted to write about it I hope you like it and if you haven't already you should read my other Steve, Cath and Jake one shots.

Steve's POV

Waikiki beach.

09:59pm

"I can't believe Danny couldn't make it" Chin said as Jake covered his feet in sand.

"Yeah he couldn't make it, Gracie has been talking about this for weeks because it is Jake's first 4th july party" I said as Catherine picked Jake up and put him on her lap because he looked really tired.

"I wonder what he's doing" Kono said from the seat next to Cath.

"I honestly don't give a shit because it's his loss we should all be having a good time but here we are talking about the short little Jersy boy" I said and Catherine and Mary slapped me at the same time when i said 'shit'.

"Steve do you not remeber the last time you swore in front of him?" Catherine questioned, Kono started to laugh and leaned her head on Adam's shoulder and he interwined their fingers.

"Yeah he got a boring lecture off of you" I said smirking at her she just scoweld at me. I leaned down and kissed the top of her head and whispered 'i love you' in her ear her frown quickly turned into a smile she quickly captured my lips.

"You want me to hold Jake for you guys?" Grover joked but turned away when i stuck my middle finger up at him and pulled away from Cath.

"How did you do that daddy?" Jake asked while trying to push all of his fingers down but he couldn't.

"Jake no don't even try to do what your daddy just did because he's naughty" Catherine said poking my thigh.

"Mommy why are we even here? I'm bored I want to go home" he whined, Chin threw me a longboard and he gave Cath one too.

"Because we are going to watch some fireworks chick" Catherine told Jake while she opened her beer. I sat down in the chair next to them both, Joan came running up to me holding a shell.

"Look what I found uncle Steve" she said excitedly while holding it up in front of me.

"Wow that's big Joan" I said picking her up and putting her on my lap.

"What are you doing Joan he's my daddy not yours" Jake snapped at her.

"Hey, Jake no don't talk to her like that she is your cousin and she is only sat on your daddy's lap you're sat on mine so what's the problem? Say sorry now" Catherine said to Jake with a stern voice, Joan just looked at me her eyes looked sad but tired at the same time. Mary came over to us, with another shell in her hand and gave it to Joan.

"I'm sorry Joan" Jake said and she just smiled.

"Mommy when are we going home?" Joan asked Mary, Chin turned around a smile on his face.

"Where did I just hear that?" He said looking at Jake with a smile on his face Jake just giggled.

"Did we miss the fireworks?" I familiar Jersey accent shouted.

"Nah bruh still waiting on them" Chin replied as the small blonde man stood next to Chin, Gracie on his right and Amber on his left.

"Uncle Dan Dan"Jake yelled and practically leaped off of Cath's lap and ran towards Danny and hugged his leg. Danny pulled Jake off of him and picked him up.

"Hey buddy" Danny said then put him down, he ran back to Cath and sat on her lap again.

"Hey Gracie" Cath said and Gracie walked and sat next to her.

"I thought you said you weren't coming?" I said and Danny just glared at me.

"I wasn't but Amber and Grace really wanted to come so we did, why Steven is that a problem?" He snapped, and sat down on a chair with Amber still by his side.

"No it's not a problem it was just a question Daniel" I said then the dark night sky lit up with red, white and blue fireworks. I handed Joan to Mary and Jake looked at me and pointed up at the sky.

"You like it Jake?" I asked Cath looked at us both and smiled.

"It's really loud" he said covering his ears with his small hands.

''Happy 4th July Lieutenant I love you" I whispered before placing a kiss on her soft pink lips.

"I love you too Commander" she whispered and kissed me again. When we pulled away from each other I looked up at the sky and the fireworks spelled out 'America'. The fireworks carried on for another 10 minutes and when they were over Grace turned around and looked at Jake.

"Jake did you like your first 4th July fireworks?" She asked Jake nodded his head then turned to Catherine.

"Mommy can we go home now?" He asked and finished his sentence with a big yawn.

"Yeah baby we can but if we go home you have to go to bed" Catherine said knowing he would change his mind straight away.

"No I'm okay, daddy where's Joan?" He asked looking around trying to find her.

"Joan went home with auntie Mary" I said and his expression changed quickly.

"I'm tired mommy" he whined.

"Okay let's go home then" I said and Catherine looked at me and smiled. I stood up and then took Jake off of Caths lap and got him into my arms. She grabbed the bag with all of jakes things in.

"Bye uncle Dan Dan" Jake said leaning over to Danny and giving him a hug.

"Bye Jake" Danny said, I put him down and he ran over to Grace and gave her a hug then Chin, then Kono, then Grover and Adam then Leilani. He ran back to Catherine and she picked him up I took the bag off of her and we turned to walk to the car.

"Bye guys" I said and waved at them.

"See you guys tomorrow" Catherine said then we walked to the car by the time we got to the car Jake was already asleep in her arms. She put him in his car seat and I got into the drivers seat and within seconds Catherine was by my side again.

"I really do love you Catherine" I said and kissed the top of her head.

"And I love you too Steve so much" she replied and we sat there for a second in silence until she turned the radio on and I switched on the engine and turned to look at Jake.

"I think we need to get him home" I said smiling at her she nodded in agreement. I put my foot on the gas pedal and we drove away from the beach.

"I had fun tonight" Cath said breaking the silence between us apart from the quiet radio playing.

"Yeah me too it was good" I smiled at her.
