Hey guys! Chapter four is up and ready for you to read! There is definitely no mix up this time! Sorry about that again :( anyway, we find out the result of the paternity test in this chapter and there is even a bit of MCKONO in there! Enjoy and please please please review!

"Wait out here." Steve said to Charlie before going into the Governor's office with Kono.

"McGarrett. We have the results back." He said.

Kono felt Steve tense beside her and placed a soft hand onto his back, he relaxed slightly but by completely. The man was just about to find out if he was a father.

"And?" Steve said.

"Congratulations McGarrett, you have a fourteen year old daughter. I'll give you a moment." The Governor said before heading out of a door and into an adjacent room.

Steve sat down on one of the leather chairs opposite the desk and put his head in his hands. Kono stood where she was for a moment. He had a daughter. Then she moved to squat in front of him.

"Steve?" She asked quietly. "What are you thinking?"

"I'm thinking that I'm a thirty-seven year old man who just found out he has a fourteen year old daughter who he never knew about and will hate him when she finds out he is her father." Steve looked up.

Kono smiled sympathetically. "You will learn. It's how it works..."

"What? You have a secret kid hidden somewhere?"

Kono laughed. "Steve, you will be fine. Look at Grace! She absolutely adores you! And think about how happy she would be when she finds out about Charlie." That earned Kono a smile. "Steve you aren't on your own, you know that right? Danny will do everything he can to help you, and you have Cath! And Chin and I'm sure Rachel will give you parenting tips. And if you really need her, you will be able to get your mother."

Steve looked into Kono's eyes. "Anyone else?"

She hesitated for a second, noticing how close her and Steve's faces were. She could feel his breath as he spoke. Tingles went up and down his spine.

"And you have me." She whispered. There was a knock on the door and Kono jumped up. Steve stood up too and cleared his throat. "Come in."

"So what's happening?" Charlie asked as she walked in.

"The diva knows how to knock." Steve smiled.

"The diva knows how to do a lot." Charlie said.

"That's great. Listen, charlo-" Steve stopped and changed the name, "Charlie, I have some news for you and you might want to sit down."

"No I'm alright." She said. "I just want to get out of here and get home."

"Yeah well... That's not going to happen." Steve said flatly.

"What? I want to go back to my friends and family!" Charlie shouted.

"Listen, hunny...I think what Steve meant was-"

"Steve meant what Steve said." She butted in.

"Do not interrupt when someone is talking to you Charlotte." Steve said.

"You can't tell what to do-"

"Yes I can-"

"You aren't my father!" Charlie yelled.

"Yes I am."

Charlotte was silent. Then she moved to sit in the chair previously occupied by Steve. Steve followed her and sat on the arm of the chair.

"What?" Charlie whispered. "How Lin have you known?"

"About fifteen minutes."

"What about the last fourteen years of my life? Did you just decide you didn't want anything to do with me?" She asked looking up at him. Kono's heart ached at her words.

"No...no of course not. I never knew about you. Your mum never told me. But I know now and I'm going to make it right." Steve said as he put a hand on her arm.

"How?"

"I don't know...but I care about you Charlie and I will do anything to make this work...but it can't be one sided. You need to try for me too." Steve said.

Charlie turned to face him completely. "A double sided effort?" She smiled. "I can do that...but what about my step-father and all my stuff?"

Steve looked clueless so Kono stepped up. "When you step-father is awake and better, we can probably come to some sort of arrangement with him. So in the holidays, you can go an see him or he can come here. And as for your stuff, we will have it shipped to Steve's house." Kono walked over to the young lady. "It's gonna be ok, Charlie." She leant down to hug her and was received with enthusiasm as she was hugged back. "Welcome to Five 0!" She grinned.
