Steve turns off the alarm and turn to his right where Catherine was laying. He turns to her and said "good-morning Lieutenant" for which Catherine replied "good-morning Commander".

Catherine had gone Steve new polo shirt and pair of new boots and she had got Vanessa a pair of earrings blue diamond which a matching necklace.

Meanwhile at the NICS HQ Steve, Joe and Sam where in the training room doing a full work out when Deeks and Kensi worked in on them in full training mode. Steve pulled Deeks to side to have little chat with him.

She help it in which was not easy for her to do she really did grow up with five brothers who are seal well that is if James retransfer come threw plus her father is an ex Navy Seal who tutor her how to fight from every young age" Steve told him.

"Do yourself a favour and stay away from her for your own safety" Joe told him.

After Sam talked to Hetty the three of them left to after Joe had talk with Kensi about her reunion with her mother which was shock to Joe at first about what they have uncover about death of his old friend. After Kensi played the tape to Joe he had to smile it was just like his friend to help other at the cost of his own.

"That was just like your father to help save a live when were he could" Joe said to Kensi.

After wards they were heading to Sam place to meet up with the girls. When they walk in the first thing Steve noted was Catherine hair cute which had reminded Steve of their time at Annapolis. Catherine had lost a bet and had to get her long hair which was down to her hip at the time had to be cut by Steve. It was start of at one time deal which ends up with Steve cutting her hair every two months for two years which had continued well in the five year that Steve was at naval Intelligence before he transfers to the seals.

Catherine had them both packed and ready for departure to Oahu where Steve had made their home base for the last year and half be fore that they on and off home base had been Enterprise or where ever Catherine had be based at.

While Joe was packing Steve had managed to find little time to talk to Vanessa his god-daughter about the last Email he had got from her. It had been about chinse class she had asked about his time in as a prisoner of war long with few Chinse prisoners in Afghanistan. He was glad that he could help his god-daughter with her homework from time to time it made feel has that was doing his job has her god-father and not just sitting back watching Catherine her god-mother do all the work.

He remembers telling Sam that he really did not know how he was going to be god-father to Vanessa when he was always way in some country at any give time. Sam and his wife had told him that he find way to be there for her when she need him the most course they didn't really trust any the other with they daughter other then Joe White Sam Seal training officer but he has to many God-Children as it is to worry over.

He had smiled and give Vanessa sum money to buy herself that dress she want for school dance which she was save up for know every well that Catherine was would have got her some jewellery to go with the dress that they both knew that was on lay-by.

Once Joe was down they said they goodbyes and were no they were to the airstrip where a Bell UH-1N Twin Huey chopper that was wait to take them back home where Five 0 was had set up party for Steve which poor Steve had no idea of.

They land at Pearl Base at six that afternoon and they head to Steve place Catherine had text Kono when they were just about to land letting her know that they were on there way. Steve weaved through traffic head to the house. He was tried and bruised from his training that morning as well as the shot that he had received from Catherine. He knew that she had out played him by using his own play book against him. He was so proud of her for out playing the seals and winning.

He pulled in to his drive way has he got out of the Joe car and the three of them headed towards the house. He heard the smoke alarm going off. He ran in to the house only to be yelled at "Happy Birthday" by his family. There was Danny with broom setting off the fair alarm. He looked around to see Kono, Chin, Malia, Max, Charlie, Kamekona, Danny and his daughter Grace.

"You did really think that we let you get out of celebrate your birthday without us now did you" Danny asked.

"One can only hope" Steve said with smile and looked around his live room there was big sign say Hau'oli la Hanau in big colorful letters.

"The sign look great Grace It is beautiful" Steve said

"Do you like it Uncle Steve" she asked has she stepped closer to him.

"I love it Grace, thank you" he said and hug her and kissed her cheek.

The team all talk and ate cake until it was time for Grace to go to sleep. Danny put her in Merry old room and then came back down. Steve took out a DVD that ADM Smith had given him which was a video of the paint ball fight. The Ohana watch it together, Steve pulled Catherine down next to him and pulled her close to him.
