"Steve will you please stop pacing. You're making Alfie dizzy. And me." Sam grumbled as she sat on the hospital bed waiting for the doctor to come and do her scan.

"I'm nervous." He defended as he rested his son on his hip and paced up and down the room.

"There's nothing to be nervous about." Sam reassured him with a sigh.

Steve stopped and looked to her. "Nothing to worry about? Sam have you looked in the mirror? You have a fat lip as well as cuts and bruises across your face and your eyes are still red and sore from the spray…remember last time you got into a fight? Your body was black and blue…" He sighed and looked over to her. "They'll probably think I did that to you. That I'm some woman beater." He grumbled with a huff.

"Oh don't be silly." Scolded Sam as she looked to her husband. "No one is going to think that about you. Everyone pretty much knows you and isn't going to think you're a woman beater. Besides the doctor is the same one from when I was pregnant with Alfie. He knows you're not that kind of guy. Don't be so ridiculous."

Steve sighed as he kissed his son's head before he moved and sat on the chair next to the bed and cradled him close. "But at least we got Catherine out of the way for good." He told her looking to her. "She'll never get out." He promised as he looked to her.

Sam nodded a little. "Yes. Least she's out of the way." She then looked to him. "But you still have your mother to deal with…"

Steve sighed. "Don't remind me."

"Don't be like that babe."

"Why not? She practically chose Catherine over me. She answered her call yet mine don't seem to matter?" He shook his head and held Alfie close as he started to nod off in his arms, looking down to Alfie he smiled moving his blonde hair out of his face. "Looks like he had fun with Lou and Renee." He mused trying to take the subject off his mother. He didn't want to talk about her.

"Don't try and change the subject." She frowned before she then sighed. "I know what she did was wrong…believe me I told her the exact same thing. What she did was unfair…but she's here now and she wants to make things right." She told him looking to him. "She helped me Steve…that's got to count for something right? She could have just left…but she didn't." She told him looking to him before she looked up as her doctor came in.

"Mrs McGarrett…" Mused the doctor before he then pouted a little to her. "Oh dear…what have you been up to?" He questioned as he went over to the ultrasound machine.

"Short version doc? I got into a fight with Steve's psycho ex." She grumbled before looking to him. "We just want to make sure everything is okay with the baby. She didn't hit or go for my stomach that much but we just want to make sure. Though think she might have broken a rib when she kicked me in the chest."

The doctor nodded a little. "Okay well we'll do this scan and then I'll examine your ribs okay seeing as you won't be able to have an x-ray." He smiled a little and looked to Sam. "When was the last time you felt the baby move?"

Sam nodded to him before she thought for a minute before she shrugged a little and sighed. "I dunno…this morning maybe? It's been a long day."

The doctor smiled and nodded. "Okay, pop your top up over your bump and let's have a look shall we?" He mused as he got the gel ready. Looking over to Alfie sleeping he smiled. "Looks like you've got a tired one there."

Steve chuckled and nodded looking down to his son. "He's had a busy day few hours with my colleague and his wife. They didn't realise he just started walking."

"He'll certainly keep you on your toes." Mused the doctor before smiling to Sam as she lifted her top up and squirted some gel on. Picking up the probe he then spread the gel around as he had a look on the monitor.

As the doctor moved the probe around Steve gently shuffled to the edge of his seat and moved one of his hands to Sam's and held onto it tightly. He was nervous. He didn't know what he'd do if there was something wrong.

As Steve took her hand, Sam looked to him and smiled before she looked to the doctor. "What's the verdict doc?" She asked looking to him.

Looking to the couple the doctor then smiled and turned the screen showing them their baby with a strong heartbeat. "Your baby is perfectly fine with a nice strong heartbeat. Seems like there was no damage, though I would advise to lay off the fights now." He told her with a chuckle before he then looked to them. "Would you like to know the sex?" He asked looking to them.

Sighing in relief hearing the baby was okay; Steve then looked to Sam as they were asked if they wanted to know about the sex. "Babe?" He asked looking to her.

Sam looked to him. "Do you?"

Steve smiled and nodded. "Yeah…"

Sam smiled and gave his hand a gentle squeeze before looking back to the doctor and gave a nod to him.

The doctor and smiled as he moved the probe some more over her bump before he then looked to the couple and smiled. "Congratulations. It's a little girl."

Sam's face lit up as she squeezed Steve's hand again. "Really?"

The doctor nodded. "Really." He confirmed with a smile.

Sam grinned to Steve. She would have been happy if it was a boy but she really did want a little girl to complete their little family.

Steve smiled as he lent up and kissed Sam a smile on his lips as he held Alfie close. A little girl. He couldn't help but smile.

The doctor smiled and wiped the gel off her bump before he took the newly printed pictures of their daughter and passed them to Sam. "Congratulations. We'll see you in a couple of months. Any problems don't hesitate to come back. Now let's have a little look at those ribs." He smiled as he stood up and moved closer to the bed, moving Sam's top up a little bit more he then winced himself at the bruises across her ribs. "Ouch." He frowned before he then gently moved his fingers along her ribs.

Taking the scan pictures Sam smiled before she winced and flinched as the doctor pressed against her ribs.

"Sorry Sam." The doctor apologised before he then moved down her other ribs and sighed a little. "Well I can feel two breaks…but that doesn't mean others aren't fractured. Just be careful when doing your day to day activities, try not to pick up anything too heavy. Keep relaxed like you should be." He told her with a smile before he then left the couple to it.

Sam smiled to the doctor before she then moved her top over her stomach before she then jumped down off the bed and looked to her husband. "How about we go home and order takeout? Have a nice relaxing night in?"

Steve smiled and nodded, cradling Alfie in his one arm while the other moved around his wife and held her close to him. "Couldn't think of anything better."

Leaning into Steve as he moved his arm around her she smiled up to him before she then smiled down to the scan picture in her hand. "Our baby girl." She mused up to Steve with a grin.

Steve smiled and nodded as he looked to her. "Our baby girl." He repeated with a smile to her before heading down to the truck. Gently putting Alfie into his car seat he then moved opened the door for Sam and helped her get in.

Wincing as she climbed into the truck, Sam pouted a little before she then moved her belt around her and relaxed back. She couldn't wait to get home.

"You okay?" Steve asked looking to his wife hearing her wince.

Sam looked to him and nodded. "Yeah. Just got to make sure I don't do any sudden movements."

Steve nodded before he shut her door and went around to the driver's side and climbed in. Checking on Alfie he then started the engine and headed back to their home.

"We'll have to find those cameras Catherine planted." Sam commented looking to Steve.

"Chin's already done it." He told her with a smile. "Our house is bug proof." He mused with a smile to her before he pulled up outside their home and cut the engine a sigh passing his lips as he saw his mother sat on their doorstep waiting for them.

Hearing his sigh Sam sighed herself as she looked to him. "You can't avoid her forever Steve." She told him. "I'll go and take Alfie up to bed." Getting out of the car she shut her door before opening Alfie's. Gently taking him out of his car seat she cradled him close as she headed up to the house.

Walking with Sam up to the house he then looked to his wife. "I'll be in in a sec." He told her with a little smile.

Sam looked to him and nodded before she then smiled a little to Doris before taking her sleeping son upstairs.

Doris stood up as she saw the little family before she then smiled a little as she saw a glance of her grandson before she then looked to her son. "Everything okay?"

Watching Sam go inside with Alfie, Steve then looked to his mother and crossed his arms over his chest. "Baby is fine. Sam has a few broken ribs but they're both okay." He simply told her looking to her before shrugging. "What you doing here mom?"

"I've come to make it right."

"Make it right? I don't think you can."

"At least let me at least try…"

"Try? You've ignored me and Mary for the last god knows how many years. I try and call you to tell you I'm getting married. To tell you that you're going to be a grandmother. Nothing. Yet Catherine comes calling and you rush to her side." He shook his head.

"I know and I'm sorry…but when Catherine called I knew it must have been serious…I thought you were in danger…I just wanted to protect you."

Steve shook his head. "I can protect myself. I can protect my wife and my children." He told her looking to her before shrugging to her. "I can't just ignore what you did. I can't forgive what you did."

"And I get that Steve…but please let me try and make it up to you. I'll do whatever it takes to make it right."

Steve looked to her. He didn't know what else to say. He couldn't forgive her for what she did. He didn't want to just let her back into their lives if she was just going to run away again. He couldn't put his children through that. He knew what Sam would say…but he didn't know himself. A part of him wanted to believe that she had changed and that she would stick around, but deep down he had this doubt hanging around.

What do you think guys? Should Steve forgive his mother and let her try and make amends?
