As Sam and Steve came inside everyone had rushed over to embrace her. It was quite overwhelming! Hugging each of them in turn she then chuckled as Alfie wanted a go as well. Taking her son from her brother she hugged him and kissed his head before she noticed the state of Steve's office and sighed to herself a little before she then looked up to him and smiled a little. "How about we head home?" She asked looking to him. He had clearly been through something traumatic and he wasn't dealing with it very well. She just wanted to get him home and try and get him relaxed.
Steve nodded as he glanced at his wife briefly. "Yes. Let's go." He just wanted to get them home. He was a mix of emotions right now and all he wanted was to go home with his wife and his son and cherish them.
"I'll drop you back." Smiled Danny as he headed over to them. He did drop Steve here so it only made sense he took them back.
Sam smiled and nodded before she looked to Alfie and smiled. "Say bye bye to everyone Alfie." She mused with a smile to him.
"Bye bye." Giggled Alfie as he waved to them and began to blow them all kisses before going shy and hiding his face in his mother's neck.
Kono looked to Alfie in awe before she blew him a kiss back and looked to Sam and smiled. She was over the moon that they were both alright. She and Sam had a beautiful friendship and it was something she never wanted to loose.
Sam smiled and waved to them all before they headed out of the palace and back down to Danny's car. Climbing into the back with Alfie she kissed his head as he snuggled into her clearly tired. As Steve and Danny got in the car she looked to Danny. "No driving like an idiot please." She told him before she then looked to Steve. He looked so stressed out. It was so heart breaking to see. Gently running her fingers lightly through Alfie's hair as he nodded off she kept a close eye on her husband.
"I don't drive like an idiot." He pouted. "Don't confuse me with your husband please he's the one who drives like a psychopath." He grumbled as he then headed back to the McGarrett household. As he pulled up outside the house he then smiled to the couple. "Home sweet home." He smiled to them.
"I'll go take Alfie up to bed." Steve mumbled as he climbed out of the car, scooping a sleeping Alfie up from the back he then headed inside the house.
Climbing out of the back Sam plonked herself in the front and looked to the house before she sighed. "Think it's safe to say that he won't be in work for the next couple of days."
Danny gave a nod. "I don't think he'd come anyway. He's a mess Sam."
"He trashed his office." She looked to him. "I saw it."
"He completely lost it." Danny sighed looking to his sister. "We were watching to make sure that your flight left on time so he knew what time to pick you up at the airport. When we saw the plane blow up right in front of us…he snapped. I'd never seen him like that. Right now he's a broken man…"
Sam looked to him. "Then leave it to me to fix him. I'll call you tomorrow." She told him as she got out of the car. Heading inside the house she then looked around to see if he had come back down. Hearing him moving around upstairs Sam put her bag down on the side before she headed up, seeing him curled up on their bed with Alfie she then headed over and watched him watching Alfie sleep and sat on the edge of the bed and looked to him. "This doesn't look like Alfie's bed…" She whispered as she looked to him.
Steve just shrugged as he kept his eyes locked on his son.
As he just shrugged at her Sam sighed as she scooped Alfie up moved to go and lay him down in his playpen in the corner of their room before she then moved back over to the bed and laid down next to him. "Talk to me." She whispered looking to him.
Steve just shook his head as he moved his arm around her and bought her more into his arms. He just wanted to hold her.
Sam frowned as he shook his head and pushed him onto his back before she climbed on him and straddled him, cupping his face she pressed her lips to his before she then looked down to him. "Never mind shaking your head at me. You've got to talk to me Steve. I'm here. Alfie's here and we are both safe. We don't know if that plane was targeted or if it was just a freak accident…but what I do know is that you cannot stay in this funk. Alfie doesn't need to see you like this and I certainly don't want to see you like this. I saw your office. Danny said you lost it." She looked to him before she took his hands and moved them to her body. "See. I'm real."
Sighing against her lips as she kissed him he then looked to her as she spoke before he looked to his hands on her body. "I thought I watched you both die." He mumbled. "The moment I saw that plane go up…I lost my entire family in a matter of seconds. I blamed myself."
Listening to him Sam sighed before she then frowned. "Why did you blame yourself?" She asked looking to him.
"Because I begged you to come home early. If you had come back on Friday like originally planned then you wouldn't have been on the plane. I was being selfish cause I couldn't stand being away from you any longer."
Sam shook her head. "I was coming home early anyway…because I couldn't stand being away from you anymore. And neither could Alfie. He wanted his dad and I wanted my husband." Kissing his forehead she sighed and lent her head down onto his. "Don't you dare blame yourself. All that matters is me and the babies are safe." She whispered kissing his head now and again. She didn't like seeing him like this. And he was blaming himself too.
Sighing Steve moved his arms around her and held her tightly to him. "You're never allowed on a plane again." He mumbled. "Unless I'm the one flying it."
Sam smiled a little and then nodded kissing his head. "Okay. No more planes." She whispered to him before she then looked to him. "No more blaming yourself." She told him firmly.
"It's hard not to." He admitted as he looked up to her.
"Steve…" Sighed Sam. "Stop thinking about what could have been…there are people out there whose family were on that plane…you're lucky me and Alfie wasn't on there…other people out there aren't lucky."
"I don't care about them." He told her. "I care about you. You and Alfie are my life and soon we are going to have another baby who is going to mean as much as you and Alfie do. If I lost you I dunno what would happen because I don't think I could ever go on without you."
"And you never will have to go on without me." She promised as she cupped his face once more and kissed him before she gently stroked his cheek with her thumb. "But I'm not having you in this funk…now I want you to get some sleep while I go down and make some dinner ready for when mister wakes up. No arguments. Sleep. That's an order Commander." Kissing him one more time she then climbed off him and quickly checked on Alfie before she headed downstairs to get some food on the go.
As he was ordered to go to sleep he playfully rolled his eyes to her before he then watched her go downstairs. Climbing out of the bed he snuck over to Alfie and gently scooped him out of the playpen and took him back into the bed with him. He wanted cuddles with his son! Laying back down he then put Alfie securely beside him and moved his arm around him in case Alfie woke up before him and closed his eyes. He did need some sleep and he hoped that he would feel better once he had had some sleep.
Going into the kitchen Sam took out some chicken breasts out of the fridge and popped them on a baking tray before popping them into the oven. Grabbing some veg out of the fridge she started cutting up some cucumber and carrots into sticks for Alfie to snack on. Hearing something being posted through the door she frowned a little. It was too late for the post. Washing her hands she dried them off before going to the door, picking up the envelope that was lying on the floor she then raised an eyebrow. It was addressed to her. Opening the envelope and pulling out the piece of paper her face drained of colour as she read it.
Lucky escape. I'll get you next time, bitch.
