Two and a half months. That is how long it took Emma Williams to pack up her life in Washington D.C. and move to Hawaii. Emma and Oz came to visit Danny in mid to late October and Emma had everything sorted before new years. It was now the 5th of January 2011 and her along with Oz, Mary and the rest of the Five-0 team were unloading the last remaining boxes into the house. Steve had to admit he was very impressed and when he had asked Emma how she managed to get her license plus get a new job and house in that amount of time whilst managing to sell her best friends old apartment and pack up her entire life, she told him that she was a single mother and that meant she could do anything if she put her mind to it. "C'mon Em, can you just tell me?" Danny asked as he placed a boxed on the floor and looked to his sister who was hammering a nail into the all.

"For the last time Danny I'm not telling how much I paid for the house, you should be grateful that your nephew and I have a beautiful home here in Hawaii to call our own." Emma replied as she picked up a frames picture and hung it on the wall before stepping back to observe her handwork. "All I'm going to tell you that the money I got from selling Olly's apartment was more than enough to pay for this house."

"So were talking about a couple of millions?"

"No Daniel were not, I did not pay anything over seven figures for this house it's in the six figures region and that is all I'm going to tell you as my finical situation is none of your business." Emma quipped as she tilted the picture she had just hung up a little to the left.

"If there must be trouble, let it be in my day, that my child may have peace" Chin Ho read from the framed photo which had that quote written on a piece of yellow lined paper. "Who said that?"

"Thomas Paine, he was an author, radical propagandist and the voice of the common man and often referred to as one of the founding fathers of the United States." Steve commented in passing as he walked through the living room towards the kitchen.

"Very good Steve, I'm impressed." Emma said with a small chuckle as she turned back to Chin Ho. "My husband George wrote it down so it could remind us why we do the jobs that we do after a really tough day. It was three months after Harry was born and I was just returning to work when we got the news that George was being called back to serve in Afghanistan."

"Hey Em! Where do you want us to put these boxes?" Danny called out.

Emma excused herself and went to the kitchen where Steve and Danny were waiting with two boxes in their hands. "Depends, what do the boxes say?" Emma asked.

"George's stuff." Steve replied with as much sensitivity as he could, he wasn't sure how Emma was going to react but apparently he didn't need to as she didn't even seem fazed by it. For someone who had lost her husband and then her best friend consecutively in the past two years, she wasn't one of those people who let their grief consumed her. Steve found it rather endearing.

"I thought you got rid of George's things?" Danny questioned

"I did, well most of it... I kept some of George's things for Harry in the future, when he's old enough to understand and know who George was. It's stuff like the flag, his medals and important things throughout George's life. My son deserves to know who his father was and the memories that I have of his father won't be enough he needed to have something more. So I put the stuff in a box and you can go ahead and just leave them in my office, I'll figure out what to do with them later.

Danny walked over to his sister and gave her a small nudge seeing as he still had the box in his hand. "That's really sweet, it's going to mean a lot to Oz in the future."

"You're a good mom." Steve said in agreement to Emma as he and Danny navigated their way through the house until they found Emma's office and placed the boxes in there per her request. Whilst Danny went to go get another box and possible hassle Emma about something, Steve went out to the back yard where his own sister was playing with Oz with an assortment of cardboard boxes.

"Hey Steve!" Mary greeted brightly and Oz waved at him briefly before resuming playing with his boxes. "So what's up?"

"Nothing much."

"Danny must be happy that Emma and Oz are finally here for good." Mary said in an attempt to make conversations whilst the two Williams siblings always had something to talk about whether they were at each other's throats about something stupid or agreeing on the fact that fruit i.e. pineapples should not be on a pizza. The conversation between them two was always natural unlike Steve and Mary's ones at times. Because of the amount of time they had spent away from each other considering the last time they had saw each other was their mother's funeral things were slightly awkward between the two."

"For now." Steve began with a chuckle, he'd give it a week until his partner would start complaining that his sister was driving him up the wall and made him wonder why on earth he'd ask her to move to Hawaii. "You and Emma seem to have hit it off."

"Yeah… Our brother's do work together and she's new to the island and I've got some free time on my hands not to mention there's no much of an age difference between us. I like her, we've hung out a few times and gone shopping together and Emma's really nice not to mention funny and Oz is adorable but I think that you already know that." Mary replied.

"What that Oz is adorable? He's four years old Mary of course he's adorable." Steve said with a shake of a head, sometimes he honestly wondered what went on in his sister's head at time.

"That's now what I'm talking about Steve and you know it, I'm talking about the fact you like his mother and don't even think about trying to deny it Steve." Mary quipped in amusement.

"What are you talking about Mary? Emma's and I are just friends and she's Danno's sister." Steve said, so he and Emma got on and he happened to think that she was beautiful but that's all that there was to it. Not only was Emma the sister of his partner but she was also a widow not to mention a mother to a young child. Besides Danny's head would probably explode if he ever did.

"C'mon Steve just admit that your attracted to Emma, that's nothing wrong with it because she is really pretty and it's kind of obvious to everyone that you both like each other. Even Danny's noticed it but he pretends like hell that he doesn't, so just man up and ask her out." Mary prompted.

"Mary it's complicated." Steve said in an attempt to avoid the question and getting his sister to drop the subject but Steve knew his sister well enough to know what she wouldn't. if there was one thing that his sister was it was stubborn.

"Why are you seeing someone?" Mary demanded, fully invested in the conversation as she managed to keep an eye on Harry at the same time.

"No."

"Then what's the problem Steve? Why are you making thing so complicated for yourself? For once being Steve the ninja and just be a normal guy and go out and have some fun." Mary scolded.

"She's just gone through a huge upheaval Mary not to mention that she's a mother and a widow." Steve said despite the fact the last two things weren't really a problem but he just wanted to end this conversation. Him and Mary talking about him love life was frankly quite weird and disturbing.

Mary rolled her eyes. "Yeah two years ago and just because her husband died doesn't mean that she's any less of a woman nor does it get rid of the face that you're very attracted to her. God Steve, just ask her if she want to have dinner with you sometime and you can either cook her something or take her out to a nice restaurant. It's not that hard! If you won't do it, I'll ask her for you!"
