"I set out on a narrow way many years ago

Hoping I would find true love along the broken road

But I got lost a time or two

Wiped my brow and kept pushing through

I couldn't see how every sign pointed straight to you..."

Danny´s POV

Yep, Daniel McGarrett-Williams was a very happy man; it had been five years since the day he thought he was going to loose the goofy dork that was now his husband. He never stoped thanking the heavens for his second chance.

He was sitting on the lanai, watching his Ohana, Steve, Monkey and little Alex, play on the beach. Alex, a baby girl that had been another gift into their lives, was the daughter of a witness that HPD had been protecting. Her mom, Ariana, had met them and as usual, took a liking to Steven, who, in turn, had fallen in love with little Alex. Ariana was the wife of a drug lord and escaped when she found out that she was pregnant. Her "husband" was arrested and she went into protective custody, which didn't work out. Before Ari died she asked Steven to take care of her baby. Danny could still remember the look of love on Steve's face when she asked him. Steve looked at him, pleading with his eyes and Danny couldn´t, or wouldn't, to say no. That day, Alexandra Elizabeth Williams-McGarrett had come into their lives.

Their baby was now a proud four year old, that loves the beach as much as her Papa and big sister do. Monkey had been estatic about having a younger sister and had loved Alex from day one.

It took a lot of time for him to let go of the guilt, for a long time he was so scared that one day he was going to wake up and realize that it had all being a dream, that Steve had died, that it was very difficult to sleep without his huge teddy bear near him, which wasn´t so much of a problem because Steve loved cuddle with him and sleep wrapped all around him. But Danny knew better than to mention that to his husband, 'cause Steve would surely deny it. He was a SEAL, after all.

Steve spent two months in Bethesda, and two more months in rehab. The doctors couldn´t believe his progress, but Danny did,.He knew that when his crazy SEAL wanted something nothing would stop him, and Steven wanted to come back home; home to Danny, Grace and their Ohana.

"Every long lost dream lead me to where you are

Others who broke my heart they were like northern stars

Pointing me on my way into your loving arms

This much I know is true

That god blessed the broken road

That led me straight to you..."

Danny had been there for each step. When Steve woke up Danny wanted to apologize but his love never let him. He still could remember...

Five years ago.

Danny Williams had never seen anything as beautiful as Steven´s blue-grey eyes as they opened and looked at him. Steven was back, and so was half of his soul.

"I love you," he mouthed to me. I took his hand in mine and I said, "I love you, too."

And no more words and no apologies were needed or was just happy to have Danny love him back.

Monkey was ecstatic at having Papa Steve in her life, because Papa Steve loved her unconditionally, and had all the time in the world to help her plan ops to take down annoying Ken, and planning Mark and Barbie´s wedding which was going to happen at Annapolis. Yeah his baby was as crazy as her Papa.

Rachel was happy for him. Steve had the unique ability to charm anyone with just a smile and Rachel never stood a chance against him. Now Danny benefitted from that because suddenly, she had no problem with sharing Grace.

He never cared for step-Stan so why bother now.

His family had been a surprise, he thought, though stupidly; again because who could resist the charming Steve? How could his family stand a chance?

His sisters had literally drooled over his boyfriend when they first met him. It didn´t matter that their husbands had been there, they were all ready to cook and clean for him and well, do everything. Steven coming out of the water onto the beach in his swim suit was a sight for the sore eyes, and his goof knew that.

His mom was just pleased and told him that he did good, never caring that her other sons-in-law were there again, and then proceeded to tell him that now she had a son-in-law to brag about to the bitches at her bidge club Yes, a former SEAL, now head of a task force that could put James Bond to shame? Yep, her friends were screwed.

And that night they discovered that his love could cook like a chef, so his mom was sold; she loved Steven McGarrett.

At work things started to heat up. Weston was an annoying bug, and she couldn´t stop looking at Danny´s boyfriend. Danny wasn´t a jealous man, or so he thought, but that bug was just boiling his blood. Danny loved Steve because he never saw it, he was oblivious to anyone but Danny. No matter who was hitting on him, he never , let Danny smile at him and his eyes shone with a glow that took your breath away.

They got married two years later, with his family from Jersey and their Ohana that included baby Alex and Rachel, on the beach at their home. Grace had been the one to walk Steve down the aisle.

He was a lucky, lucky man. He had hated Hawaii with a passion when he first arrived and now it was his home, his family, his life and he couldn't have loved it more.

"I think about the years I spent just passing through

I'd like to have the time I lost and give it back to you

But you just smile and take my hand

You've been there you understand

It's all part of a grander plan that is coming true

Every long lost dream lead me to where you are

Others who broke my heart they were like northern stars

Pointing me on my way into your loving arms

This much I know is true

That god blessed the broken road

That led me straight to you..."

Yeah, he was a blessed man.

"Danno, come swim with us,"

"Yeah, Daddy, come..."

"Now, now girls you know Danno is like a cat when it comes to water."

"What did you just say, Steven James Williams-McGarrett? I´ll have you know..."

But the thought was never finished because his goof had kissed him.

Yep, he was a very lucky man and had every intention of staying that way 'til, well, with his husband he´ll never know, but he was ready to face everything with Steven Williams-McGarrett by his side.

"I love you."

"…talk to much, Danno, show me,"

"Always."
