Chapter 22: Danny faces Rachel

Well the next day had come and Danny was down at the jail in a private room so he could talk to Rachel alone. He was determined to let her know just how he felt about everything that's happened and he frankly didn't give a damn if he hurt her feelings. She came in and the Officer sat her in the chair; Danny told him to take off the cuffs, assuring him that he'd be fine he just didn't feel right talking to her with those on. After he left and the door closed, Danny waited a minute before lighting into her. They sat there staring at each other only Danny's gaze was a killer one. She finally had enough of the staring game, "What do you want Daniel?"

He took a deep breath before the ranting began, "I do not want anything Rachel but I do want to know why the hell you had to be so petty?"

"About what?"

"Do not give me that bullshit! You know excatly what the hell I am talking about! I can not believe that you'd stoop that low with Stan; I thought you were better than that but apparently not. Do you not understand what you have lost? Grace is very upset about the whole thing, she wants to hurt the people who in her words 'no one touches my daddy and gets away with it!' She can't believe you did that! Why THE HELL DID YOU DO THIS-TO STEVE, TO ME AND ESPICIALLY MY DAUGHTER!"

Rachel just sat there in silence. Danny got very frusterated and so he yelled, "ANSWER ME!"

This seemed to get her attention, "You never loved me like that. You never took care of me like that."

Danny was shocked that she said this and so the arms came out, "Listen and listen good-Steve and I have something you and I never had. No one will ever take that way. We have a bond that NO ONE WILL EVER TAKE AWAY. So don't you ever think you can break me because I refuse to bend to you anymore! What we had was purely physical and for the life of me I don't know why the hell I went ahead and married you because your family never liked me; they were always putting me down because of my job, my height then they crossed the freaking line by insulting my family! Do you understand?"

"Yes"

"Good because I am done talking to you." He got up and was about to open the door when she said something that made him stop and turn around.

"You know Steve has a lot of enemies that would love to see him dead."

Danny slowly turns around and bends down so his face is level with hers, "If you ever threaten or harm Steven, do not think I would hesistate to do something to Stan. You know the men in jail don't take do kindly to people who hurt children. One mistake of paperwork, a word with a guard...well you get the picture." He responded in a very calm state that made him seem bigger and scarier and his voice was very low. His blue eyes had darkened with hate and promise to his words.

He left after that just leaving her sitting there to think about his threat-no his promise if she sent a hit out on Steve. He went back to the hopsital where Chin and Kono were watching Grace and putting a smile on his face he went in. Steve was now sitting up in bed and as soon as he saw him he smiled that famous McGarrett smile that brought out those dimples of his.

"Hey babe"

"Hey Steve...glad to see you're sitting up...so what's going on?"

"Oh nothing Danno...we're just talking about what daddy's going to do and not do when they finally let him out." Gracie pipped up and everyone laughed, "I'm hungry"

Sensing that Steve and Danny needed to talk, Chin answered, "Hey munchkin...lets go get some shaved ice."

"Great idea cuz"

"Is that okay Danno? Daddy?"

"Yes baby" they both replied.

A few minutes later it was just the two of them alone and Steve could feel the tension radiating off of Danny. So he pulls him closer and kisses him deeply while rubbing his shoulders. They pull apart when Steve's heart monitor started beeping louder.

"Wow...you're awake not a full day and your kisses are still amazing. Thanks for the shoulder massage"

"Anytime Danno...I can feel the tension coming off you in waves. What happened when you talked to her?"

Danny just sighed heavily and this concerned Steve even more and he rubs Danny's arm up and down in a soothing motion, waiting patiently for Danny to talk, he knows it must've been hard for him but Danny needed to do it.

"I ranted to her and she didn't even say she was sorry. Just when I was about to leave she said something that shook me-shook me to the core."

"What did she say?"

"She threatened you...she said that you had a lot of enemies that would love to see you de...dead" Danny looked into Steve's eyes and Steve saw the pain, hurt, anger and fear. Fear that something would happen to Steve and he wouldn't be able to do a damn thing about it. That's what scared him the most.

"Oh babe...I can't believe she did that. What did you say to her?"

"I simply threatened her back with Stan. I told her that if she ever put a hit out on you then Stan would have a very hard time in jail."

"Guess I'm rubbing off on you"

Danny smiled widely, "Ohh in more ways than one babe"

Steve just laughed catching the double meaning Danny just said and he pulled Danny down for another mind blowing passionate kiss. When they pulled apart Danny just had this loopy smile on his face. It was then that Steve knew that Danny would be alright.

Danny leaned in to Steve's ear, "When you get outta here, you're going to have one hell of a homecoming-this I promise you." His voice was low and heavy with lust. Steve's eyes were wide as he felt like his blood went down south. The way Danny sounded had him instantly turned on-like totally turned on and he wanted to take Danny right then and have him screeming his name in total bliss but that would have to wait till they were at the house and Grace would be staying with Chin and Malia.
