Part Five

Steve Mcgarrett had never been too fond of his kids; unlike his sister who would have a handful of babies if she ever settled down with the right man. He knew they couldn't harm him but if truth be told he was slightly scared of them, especially younger children what with their constant need for attention and ability to throw one hell of a tantrum when they didn't get what they want.

When he had expressed to Catherine once that he had no intention of ever having a baby, she had acted a little put out which had surprised him; this thing between them wasn't serious. It was a few nights of fun when she came into land but nothing more to Steve.

However with the arrival of a certain person in his life the past year, also came the most amazing little girl he had ever the privilege to meet. Sweet little Grace who was always so quiet and polite when she met the team unlike her father who was so loud and slightly obnoxious in his ways.

"Uncle Steve?"

Steve lowered his newspaper down from his face at the sound of the eight year old girl's voice and found himself face to face with a concerned looking Grace. She was fidgeting on her feet and pulling at her plait absent mindedly.

"Hey Gracie you okay?" He asked softly, scooting over on the couch and patting the empty space next to him. Grace clambered onto the cushions and folded her legs underneath her as she settled down, fixing the man with a determined stare.

"Uncle Steve, can I ask you something?"

"Of course you can sweetheart."

Grace frowned slightly and lowered her head, Steve reached over and lifted her chin up with his finger so that he could look the little girl in her eyes.

"Gracie, what's going on?"

"You like my daddy don't you?"

"Of course I do."

"No… I mean like the way my mommy likes Step-Stan."

"Oh- Grace, why are you asking me this?"

"Because I think Danno likes you that way but he's scared and I don't want to leave, Uncle Steve."

"What? Why would you have to leave?"

"When me and mommy left New Jersey it was 'cause her and daddy didn't like each other anymore."

It was Steve's turn to frown. He didn't understand what the younger Williams' was trying to say to him. Had Danny somehow decided to doubt Steve's loyalty to making this relationship work?

"You're not going anywhere, Grace. You like staying here don't you? I was going to ask you whether you'd prefer to stay here when you see your daddy rather than the bed sit."

"Do you mean it?" Her face had split into a wide grin and she looked so hopeful that a the Navy Seal felt his heart melt slightly. He had never imagined he would end up like this; living in his deceased parents house on the island that he was born on, gathering up enough courage to kiss the one person he had been waiting his life for and embracing said person's daughter into his heart as if she was his own daughter.

"I promise you, Grace you don't have to leave anymore. I'll make sure that you and Danno are as happy as you can be."

A/N: it's also kinda out off the plot but hopefully the next chapter will be better. If people want me to continue my shitty writing that is lol ;) :P sorry I always panic that I'm boring you hehe xx
