"Can't I knock one of her teeth out? Make it fair?" Sam asked her brother as he drove the five of them to the prison. Sam sat in front with Danny while Kono and Chin sat in the back with Airi between them.
Danny rolled his eyes hearing his sister. "You seriously still going on about a missing tooth?" He asked glancing to his sister and sighing. "The answer is no."
"Spoil sport." She grumbled before frowning. "I think I swallowed it."
Danny looked to her briefly before looking back to the road. "I think you'd know if you swallowed your own tooth Sam."
Sam scoffed as she looked to him. "Between nearly drowning and coughing up blood when she punched me I pretty much doubt it."
Pulling up outside the prison Danny looked to Sam. "Sam it's a tooth you're not going to miss."
"You don't know that. I've gone all my life without a single cavity." She rolled her eyes. "I'm going to get my husband. At least he'll be on my side." She huffed as she got out of the car, waiting for Danny and the others to get out before they all made their way up inside the prison. As they passed they knew the guards were talking about Airi. Heading inside, Sam glanced around before she spotted Joe. "Joe." She called as she walked over to him.
Hearing Sam's voice, Joe looked up before he frowned a little noticing the bruise forming along her jawline as well as the fact her hair was soaking wet. "Sam are you alright?"
"I'm fine." She told him before looking around. "Where is he?"
Joe sighed a little as he looked down to her. "They took him back to the cells. I've tried everything they're not budging."
"Do you have my bag?" She then asked looking to him.
"Yes I do it's over by the benches." He explained looking to her before noticing Airi with the others. "That her?"
"Yep. I'm currently even more pissed that normal because she knocked out my tooth and Danny won't let me knock one of hers out in return." She told him as she dug through her bag and pulled out a file and headed over to the reception desk and looked to the guard. "Do you speak English?" She asked firmly to him.
The guard looked to her and nodded. "I do."
"Good." Sam mused before pointing to Airi. "She's been arrested for kidnapping, assault and false imprisonment." She pulled out a card and popped it in front of him. "I'm a lawyer so don't even think of telling me I'm wrong and all that crap I know what I'm talking about." She told him firmly before she put down a photo of Steve in front of him. "I'm going to need to go and get this prisoner. Everything in that file confirms he is not who you think he is and he is to be released immediately."
The guard looked to Sam scared; he didn't know what to say. "I'll go get him."
Sam shook her head. "I'll go get him. Just show me the way."
"Uh follow this guard and he'll show you." He told her gesturing to one of the guards.
Sam nodded a little before looking to her brother as he came closer to her.
"You're not a lawyer anymore." He whispered to her.
"They don't know that." Sam whispered back to him before she then headed over to the guard and followed him through the prison. It was quite a walk. As they got to a block of cells where the prisoners were all locked in the cells she looked to the guard. "Give me the keys." She ordered softly.
The guard was hesitant but handed them over before standing at the main gate to the cell block.
"Wait here." She told him before she began to walk down, looking into each cell to see if she could see Steve. As she reached the bottom of the cell block and saw Steve asleep in last cell, is arm covering his eyes. She was taken back at the sight of him. Yes he was in rough shape, but he was there alive in front of her! After all this time of thinking he was dead here he was. She couldn't help but feel guilty. Shakily moving the key into the lock she unlocked the cell door and gently opened it.
Hearing the cell door unlock, Steve sighed a little. "I'm not hungry." He grumbled not moving from the bed.
Hearing him Sam stepped inside the cell and looked over to him. She could feel the tears welling in her eyes. "Good thing I didn't bring anything with me then…"
Hearing that voice he felt his heart skip a beat. He knew that voice too well but too many times he had hallucinated that she was here. He was scared to move his arm and she not be there. Scared it was all just a dream again.
Slowly moving his arm he then locked his eyes onto her. She was there. She was in front of him. Getting up from the bed he looked down to his wife, his hand hovering over her face, too scared that if he touched her that she would disappear.
Looking up to him as he got off the bed a tear slid down her cheek. As he hovered his hands she stepped into his touch. He looked so fragile right now. "I'm here…" She whispered up to him, her hand moving on top of his.
Tears filling his own eyes as he felt her soft skin against his hand, he clenched his jaw trying to let his emotions be the better of him but he was finding that incredibly difficult. She was here. Pulling her to him he moved his arms around her and just held him to him, his head leaning down on hers as the tears rolled down his cheeks. After all this time she was here. He had her in his arms and it wasn't all a dream.
Moving her arms tightly around him she hid her face in his chest, glad to just have him back. It felt like he had been gone forever. Lifting her head a little she pressed her forehead lightly to his, moving her thumb up to his cheek and wiped away a stray tear. "I love you so much." She whispered to him.
"I love you too." He whispered back just clinging onto her for dear life. "I've missed you so much, I thought I'd never see you again."
Hearing him, Sam cupped his face fully and pressed her lips softly to his, the tears rolling down her own cheeks. A reunion she thought she would never have and here he was.
To be able to kiss his wife once more felt incredible. It had been too long. He hadn't been able to kiss her, hold her, talk to her, make love to her, be her husband, be a father to their children and now here she was giving him hope that he would be able to do all those things once more. He had missed her and the children more than anything. He was lost without his family.
Breaking the kiss she took his hands in hers. "I've missed you too. Come on…" She whispered to him.
As she broke the kiss and spoke he frowned a little. "What do you mean?"
Squeezing his hands she smiled a little to him. "I'm here to take you home." She whispered wiping a stray tear from his cheek. "You're a free man, Steve." She told him as she gently stepped back towards the entrance of his cell, bringing him with her.
Hearing those words he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. After all this time he was finally free. He could leave this place. "Really?" He asked looking to her, stepping forward with her. He needed confirmation that this wasn't a joke.
"Really." Sam confirmed with a soft smile to him. "We're going home." She interlocked her fingers with his and gave his hand a gentle squeeze. "Come on."
Holding onto Sam's hand tightly he nodded a little before he stepped out of his cell with her. He couldn't wait to get out of here. Couldn't wait to go back to normality and to see his children and meet the one son he never had the chance to know about until earlier. Heading down the corridor with Sam he kept a tight hold of her hand. He didn't want to let her go.
Passing the keys back to the guard as they reached him she followed him back out, gently squeezing Steve's hand now and again. She could feel his grip on her tightening the further the got to the exit. As they reached the final door, she looked to Steve and smiled to him before happily walking through it to where the others were waiting for them.
Seeing everyone waiting for them, Steve was slightly overwhelmed. It had been so long since he had seen anyone he knew and now he was surrounded by the people he cared about.
As Sam and Steve came out, Danny smiled over to the couple. "This is a site I have truly missed." He mused to the pair of them. "Though you both seriously need to go and raid a McDonald's or something."
"Right now I'd settle for a decent night's sleep. And a bath." He commented with a little smile as he kept a tight hold of Sam's hand.
Sam looked to him and laughed a little. "You do remember we have kids right? Sleep in a novelty."
"Speaking of kids…how are you going to explain Steve to Alfie and Lily?" Kono asked softly to them. It was going to be difficult to explain to two young children why their dad was suddenly alive.
"I have no idea." Sam admitted before looking to her watch. "But by the time we get back to Hawaii they're going to be in bed anyway, I'm sure I'll think of something by the morning."
Danny looked to Sam. "I told Steve."
Sam frowned a little as she looked to her brother. "Told Steve what?"
"About Reuben…" Steve confirmed looking down to her with a soft smile.
Hearing Steve, Sam looked to him before she then looked to her brother and shook her head. "You're a nightmare you know that."
"He had to know and it sort of come up."
"So you tell him while he was in jail?" Sam asked with a roll of her eyes before she then looked up to Steve and sighed a little. "Let's go home."
"Happily." Steve commented with a smile down to her before he gave her hand a gentle squeeze and headed out of the prison. He was happy to see the back of this place. Happy to finally be able to go home and be with his family. After dreaming of this day for so long it was finally coming true. He was saying goodbye to Daniel Rhodes and hello to being Steve McGarrett once more. He was going home.
