Chapter thirteen
Hey my awesome readers! Thank you so much for the reviews, they honestly make my day! ENJOY!
Charlie slowly got up and opened the bedroom door. She could see he was making the effort and that he maybe cared but he knew nothing about her. At all.
"Charlie..." Steve started. Charlie went to sit back on her bed while Steve stared for a moment before sitting down next to her. He had no idea about what to say to her. "Look-"
"You don't have to say anything dad." Charlie said quietly.
Steve sighed. "Where did the dad come from?" He asked nudging her shoulder.
"Well you are trying."
Steve laughed before pulling his daughter to him. "You Charlotte, are one funny kid." She smiled up at him. "So I was thinking...do you want to change your surname to Mcgarrett? I mean I get it if you don't and stuff but you know...I thought it would be kind of nice."
"Really?"
"Of course. I mean you are my daughter, it's only right that you have my surname."
Charlie laughed at him. "Yeah! Definitely." She leant up to hug him.
"Charlie if you ever need to talk, I'm here."
"I know..."
"Good. Now go to bed! You have school tomorrow, are you all ready?"
"Yep! Oh my God, I am so excited." She squealed.
"Yeah...night babe." Steve said before heading out.
The next couple of weeks passed without no major issues. Charlie and Steve had the occasionally clash but they had sorted it. And work had been ridiculously quiet. The team had been able to leave early and go in late. But as always, perfect things had to come to an end. And that would happen tonight.
It was a Friday and the team had solved an incredibly easy case. And now they were celebrating with drinks back at Steve's. At about four, Charlie walked in from shook with a boy about the same age as her. He was relatively tall with blonde hair and light eyes.
"Hey guys." Kono was the first to notice them as she walked back into the living room with a few beers. Chin waved from his position opposite the front door and Danny and Steve turned around.
"Hi Kono, uncle Danny, uncle Chin." Charlie said before grabbing the boys hand and leading him towards the stairs.
"Uh Charlie aren't you forgetting someone?" Kono asked.
"Oh yeah sorry. Hey dad."
"Charlotte where do you think you're going?" Steve got up from his position on the sofa.
"Up to my room." She answered innocently.
Danny scoffed. "Right babe."
"Who are you?" Steve asked, crossing his arms and eyeing the teenage boy in front if him.
"Daniel Jacobs."
"You forgot the sir." Steve said strictly.
"Sir."
"What do you two think you are going to do upstairs?" He asked.
"Homework dad. OK? Relax." Charlie answered.
"No I will not relax. And no you will not do your homework upstairs. No way."
"Why not?"
"Because."
"Because what?"
"Because he is a teenage boy Charlotte and there is only one thing on their mind. OK? I know. Trust me."
Charlie stared at him before scoffing. "You are ridiculous Steve. You know that?"
"Right you know what? Because of the attitude, you are grounded. A week-"
"Look dude-" Daniel tried.
"Don't you dare call me dude. It is sir or Commander kid." Steve shouted. "And you young lady, it is dad."
"Steve..." Danny tried. "This isn't how you deal with it."
"It is how I am going to deal with it."
"No it is not. Steve stop being an asshole. Seriously." Kono yelled at him. "Guys Steve's right about the whole bedroom thing-"
"Damn right I am."
"Shut up you." Kono pointed at Steve. "He's right about that but not the rest. Why don't you guys work in the kitchen?" She reasoned.
"Yeah...sure." Daniel agreed, he looked desperate to get away from Steve. Charlie lead the way to the kitchen after a long glare at Steve.
"Well done brah." Chin said. "I'm going to head out. Try not to piss her off anymore." He left.
"Seriously Steve. I am going to give you a book. It's called 'how to raise your teenage daughter for dummies'. You need it man." Danny patted his partners shoulder before heading out and calling "See you bright and early tomorrow."
Steve sighed and sat down on the sofa. Kono sat opposite him on the armchair. "Don't worry, my dad reacted the same way."
"Really?"
"Yep. Well he still does." Kono smiled just as the doorbell rang.
"Do you want me to?"
"No it's fine. Charlotte can you eat the door please?" He called.
Charlie stormed out of the kitchen, giving Steve the death stare as she opened the door. "I'm not your servant you know."
"I'm fully aware thanks." Steve turned around to face the front door and standing there in a short black skirt and deep pink tank top was Lori Weston.
"Lori." Steve said getting up and moving to the door.
"Hey Steve." She smiled before leaning in to hug him.
Charlie just sighed and rolled her eyes at Kono before going back to the kitchen.
So yeah...a lot of drama there and of course Lori is back. But what is it that he really wants? I warn you now, I am not a fan of Lori. But anyway please please please review! Thank you!
