Five-O

A tall muscular man and a shorter blonde walked into the headquarters of Five-O talking about the game that was on television between the Yankees and the Red Sox. The shorter one of the two was losing the battle fast.

"Steve, Danny, I was just about to call you guys. We have a tip on Jackson's whereabouts," their third partner Chin Ho Kelly stated to them as they walked in.

"Where's Kono?" the taller of the two asked.

"She's at the airport. A friend of hers is moving back home. She will be in, in a little while." He saw his friend's expression. "Steve I don't know if it's her. Kono didn't say," Chin added.

The shorter blonde finally clued in on what they were referring too. "You still haven't talked to her?" he asked Steve.

"No, Danny, I haven't. She won't return my calls. But that's for another day. Chin, what do we have on Jackson?" he asked him.

"Well a street light caught him heading North on Kulani Blvd and then a building camera caught him pulling into the Lei Lani motel," he said, showing the two men the video feed. "That was about a half hour."

"Well what are we waiting for?" Steve said and the three of them left.

Back with Kit

Kono dropped her off at her old home that once belonged to her parents, and she walked through the house letting the memories of her childhood wash through her. The grounds-keeper had placed fresh gardenias throughout the house and with the open windows the mix of the sea air and the flowers gave her a sense of calm.

Kono had left to go meet up with her team for a case that they had been working on for a few months. Finally Kit walked onto the back patio and stood and watched the sunset. As she was staring out onto the horizon, she couldn't help her mind that was drifting to a place she thought about every day.

"I can't do this anymore Steve," she told him tears threatening to fall as she did her best to avoid his gaze.

"What do you want me to do Kitana? Quit the force and become a homebody? I can't do that," he told her.

"I don't want you to quit. I just can't sit by and worry, wondering if you are going to disappear trying to chase a man that you can't find. I love you so much that I have to let you go," she told him as she started to walk up towards the house.

He grabbed her arm and spun her around to have her look at him. Staring down at her, he searched her face and then settled on her eyes. He slowly wiped the tears away. Leaning down he captured her lips as slowly they kissed.

The sun was setting across the ocean. Kit leaned into the kiss allowing him to take control. She knew deep in her heart that she didn't want this to end, but her mind was the one that kept telling her it was the logical thing to do.

Steve picked her up and carried back to the house, never breaking the kiss.

That was the night that would be forever etched in mind, every detail, every kiss, and every caress. She would never forget the way he made her feel and she would never forget the way she ended it, by leaving him the following morning without so much as a note.

Breaking from her thoughts, she rubbed her stomach when she felt a kick of mass proportion. If she ever thought that was the hardest day of her life, she had another thing coming. Telling Lt. Commander Steve McGarrett he was going to be a father would be the test that was going to test her resolve. Heading back into the house she went upstairs and got ready for bed.
