"If I had one call to make

I would dial yesterday and warn myself

Tell my lips the words to say

Not let you just walk away..."

Danny´s POV

You´re gone, I let you leave; no I messed this up How could I fuck this up so bad?

I love you and you think, you think, Oh God I, want to throw up You´re saying sorry for loving the poor pathetic excuse of a man that I am. You´re saying sorry, you´re asking me, hell, you´re practically begging me to not shut you out of mine and Gracie´s life. Like I could? Oh God I screwed this up so badly. You love me, why beats the hell out of me, but you love me. I can feel it now I´m so sorry, Steven, for not being able to tell. I´m sorry, babe, but now you´re gone and I'm the only one to blame for it.

"I had all but given up

On finding the one that I could fall into

On the day before you

I was ready to settle for

Less than love and not much more

There was no such thing as a dream come true

Oh, but that was on the day before you..."

I´m at your place I can´t stand to go because you may call, I know you won´t because lets face it you´re away but I can only hope, and because the situation with our Ohana wasn´t very well, his ears were still ringing from Kono´s yelling for having fuck up that night.

"Who do you think he was singing his heart out to? The friggin' blonde next to him? Are you that thick? Angel eyes, he was singing to you, declaring his love to you and what does the great haole detective do? Eh? He left. You left him, you should have seen his eyes when he couldn't find you, you stupid mainlander, no pineapple on pizza, boy."

"He was singing to me?" He really shouldn´t have asked that stupid, stupid, stupid question when they both knew the answer, because it only infuriated her more.

"Do you just not hear me? OF COURSE HE WAS SINGING TO YOU AND YOU FUCK IT UP, SO NOW YOU BETTER BELIVE THAT YOU WILL FIX THIS OR I´M GOING TO USE YOU AS A PRACTICE DUMMY."

And yeah, he was man enough to be scared of her and be fine with it, and beside he was really sorry for hurting Steven because he had lost that chance to be wth the man he was in love with.

But if his ears were still ringing from Kono, his jaw, well Chin sure knows how to throw a punch and boy, and he has a mean hook.

"You hurt my brother and Ohana or not you have to pay for it and consider yourself lucky that I got the punch and Kono the lecture, because she wanted the other way."

"Thanks, I guess and I really didn´t want to."

"I know, Brah, but now you have to fix it, tell him you love him."

"Do you think...?"

"He´s coming back. He loves you and Grace too much to leave you, but you need to show him that his love is welcomed and reciprocated because, super SEAL or not, a man only can take so much pain and Steve and you have been through enough. It's time for you to have happiness."

"Yeah, I hear you."

"Don´t just hear me, do something, Danny, love him."

"I will"

"Good. Now, want a beer to block out the girly moment?"

"Heck, yeah."

Gracie was the worst. She didn´t hit him or anything when he tried to explain to her what happened and why her beloved uncle won´t be there. She just looked at him with her big eyes and shook her head and in a tiny voice just asked him why he hurt her Uncle Steve.

"Why?" she asked again. As she walked away, he felt cold and he knew he had hurt the two most important people in his life.

Month after month went by and there was no news, and I´m freaking out. I can´t sleep at night because the nightmares about you not coming back haunt my dreams my hearts aches because I miss you desperately. Chin, Kono and Grace had written you a letter and the new Governor promised them that he will pull a few strings to make sure the letter gets to your hands.

I started a lot of letters. I have so much to say, but "I´m sorry" and "I love you, too" didn´t seem to cover everything. I wanted to write that I love you so much, please come home to me, please come to my arms, but I couldn´t. You were man enough to tell me your feelings to my face. I should be able to do the same, so I decide to not send a letter which cost me a lot of glares from Kono and Chin, and Gracie´s shaking her head. I could tell they were mad at me but you and I need to talk face to face.

You need to hear my voice, to see my lips say that I love you.

Some days later I couldn't shake the feeling that something was wrong. My heart hurt and I got up and I knew it you were hurt. My tears fell because you´re hurt and I´m not there; nobody can convince me that you´re fine because I know that you´re hurt.

You´re a part of me, a part of my soul, so I know and I´m terrified because I can´t lose you not before having a chance to tell you.

We´re at your home celebrating, or at least trying to celebrate, Grace's birthday when I see a white uniform, and my legs tremble. Chin and Kono both freeze and go white as a sheet ; Grace knows something but before she can speak we usher her inside.

The man has an important presence, not as fine as Steve has, but you can tell he´s a SEAL and he´s been injured.

"Hello, my name is Christopher Scott, Chris or Hammer to my friends and I´m looking for Grace Williams."

"I´m Danny Williams, Grace´s father." I never thought I'd regret saying that, but there is a first time for everything. All I see are the green eyes of the men before me darken in rage and before I can say anything, his fist is flying in my direction.

It's Grace's voice that stops Chin and Kono from retaliating. She asked him a question which he seemed surprised and amused to answer but he does anyway, then she flies to his arms and I´m surprise to see his eyes fill with a warmth that wasn´t there before.

"Danno, Uncle Chin, Auntie Kono, this is Hammer, Uncle Steve's best friend in the Navy and second in being super SEAL."

"How do you know that?"

"Uncle Steve showed me a picture and taugh me what to ask to be sure if he was the man."

"Like I said before, I´m Lieutenant Christopher "Hammer" Scott and I´m here under Steve´s orders..."

And with one look I can tell that I´ll never forget Lieutenant Christopher "Hammer" Scott´s visit.
