Title: Danno´s Journey Chapter fifteen Six Month later
Hi, this is a new chapter of this story I know it has been a long since I updated a new chapter but it will get done.
Thanks to my amazing beta Sibyllsdream
Last time
"Sleep babe, Danno´s got you, I´ll protect you, and I´ll love you always and forever, my friend, my husband, my family, my lover, my love…"
And he heard him repeat.
"Steve loves you too Danno, always and forever, my friend, my husband, my family, my lover, my love…"
And there in the middle of so much pain, they knew that their love was going to save them.
The weeks went by, time spent together healing as a family, Steve was so full of pain, Danny too, it was so difficult for the both of them, for different reasons they suffered and their Ohana too Rachel, Grace and Charley were in their own healing process.
They didn´t go back to work, the repercussions of Steve´s ordeal were getting to them, he was laid down as a hero which he was and had to go back to the mainland to testify a couple of times. They presented him with the Navy Cross and he was promoted to Captain-he was the youngest one in the last fifty years- and Danny couldn´t be prouder.
Danny saw that his husband´s heart wasn´t on the ceremony, he still was too upset and hurt and full of anger to be there but he was a SEAL and like always he did his job. He still could remember Steve´s words and actions;
"I join the Navy when I was a kid, I was lost, missing my mom, I couldn´t see a way through the darkness and here I found my way when I took my oath I swore to represent to best of my abilities.
They say I´m hard to work with and it is true, because I want the best and that´s what surrounds me, the best, we give everything for those we love and for those we don´t know, we protect our Nation even when sometimes the enemies are inside us.
Being a SEAL changes your life because it makes you part of something bigger than you, when we´re called it is because the last line has been broken, we fight and we rescue and do things to ensure the people stay safe.
I have lost a lot in my life as a SEAL but I gained as well so even when today my heart is still bleeding, broken, mourning the lost I´ll never regret having joined the SEALs because I know that when I get home my loved ones will be there also the love of those who always pray for us so this award is yours too…"
With that he stepped down and he went to kiss Danny.
That day still brought a smile to Danny´s face, because it left perfectly clear that the good was still there and that they were going to make it.
