Chapter 28
Steve knew that this case was turning into something bad and he was right. 5-0's team was actually on a case about arms dealer who wanted to establish their network in Hawaii and when they found the principal investigators, the team saw that with the size of their criminal records Jay Sisley and Warren Thompson were high class criminals and by that hard to catch, but that didn't scare 5-0's team and especially their Super SEAL of a leader but when they came to the place where the criminals hid their goods, they all realized that the catching would take longer than expected because as arms dealers Sisley and Thompson both knew what to do with weapons and when Kono arrived to finally shoot Sisley, Danny who was the closest tried to shoot Thompson because he was just in front of him, but Thompson was faster and reach the blond one first and before Danny had time to do something the criminal pushed Danny who fell down the stairs, unconscious. When Steve saw his husband fell down of their stairs his blood ran cold and he killed Thompson by shot him in the head and rushed to the detective who had not regained consciousness and that was really a bad sign, especially in his state:
S-Babe! Danny… Danny come on wake up! Please! Don't do this to me! I'm beggin' you!
The Commander also realized a thin smear of blood escaping from the blond's forehead and when he saw it he shouted to Kono to call an ambulance, what she of course did also completely shaken by her friend's fall and then Steve unbuttoned Danny's shirt to see if his stomach hadn't been touched and fortunately there was no cut and no blood so it was quite a relief, and he was even more relieved when Danny hardly open his eyes:
S-Oh thanks God love you're awake! That's good! Are you okay? You're hurt somewhere?
D- Steve…My stomach…Hurt…The baby…
Danny tried to get up but the pain was too big, Steve also prevented him from rising:
S-No Danno don't move the ambulance will be here soon, everything will be okay I swear to you but only if you don't move
The blond tried to reassure himself despite the pain and told his husband:
D-Sorry for being so bold, I should have stayed where I was ... If I ever lose our baby I will never forgive myself Steve…
The brown one cut him immediately:
S-No Danny don't say that okay? Our baby is still here and you took your pills this morning
D-I hope you're right Mr. Optimist
S-There must be one in this couple
The blond one chuckled and finally the ambulance arrived and they took Danny to the hospital with Steve of course who holding his blond's hand so hard in his that he almost broke him a phalanx and arriving at the hospital the couple was headed to the maternity ward (and paternity).When Dr. Sanders saw Steve and Danny arrived with the detective on a stretcher she rushed to see what was happening:
F-Commander McGarrett what happened?
S-He ... He fell down the stairs during a case and his stomach hurts from what he said to me
F-Well, leave it to me, it is imperative to have an ultrasound to see if the baby is fine
Steve was so scared…And if they had lost their baby? He didn't even want to think about the pain he would feel especially Danny, and he would blame himself the rest of his life for not having been more careful and for not have more protected and watched for Danny during Sisley and Thompson's catching and also for having left his husband alone against Sisley… Then he came back to reality when Fiona began the auscultation by spreading gel on Danny's belly, Danny was also afraid of losing the baby by his fault and his stupidity he even wondered if Steve would forgive him one day if the unthinkable happened. Steve and Danny then looked at each other and saw the fear they felt, The Commander however still held the hand of the detective and Dr. Sanders then said:
F-For now everything looks good and if we can hear the heartbeats it means that your baby is still here
The couple then began to pray that their little gem was still here and after a few seconds that seemed like hours for them they heard heartbeats and both had tears of joy, their daughter was fine and she was here! Steve leaned over to kiss his blond who replied and Fiona added with an expression halfway between joy and annoyance:
F-You've had luck this time, but now Danny you must put yourself on sick leave
Although the blonde one knew Fiona was right he was too stubborn to listen and replied annoyed:
D-No it's fine I'll be ok and you know very well that I cannot stay away from work
F-Listen, you're going to give birth in two weeks and you're exhausted you have to stop and rest until the birth of your baby not to mention what you had been through today!
D-I refuse!
Steve then decided it was time to interfere:
S-Dr, leave me alone with Danny just one minute please
F-Okay
The woman exited from the room and left the couple alone, Steve stood in front of the blond one and said:
S-Babe you gotta listen to her and take those sick leaves
D-No, I want to continue working, you know very well that I hate to stay at home and do nothing!
S- When it's weekend you do practically nothing!
D-This is not the same thing and you know it so don't try to make me change my mind and then somehow I must continue to be at your side to keep you from doing stupid things or make yourself almost killed for nothing!
Steve began to lose patience here, damn his husband could be so stubborn sometimes (just like him) so he said more firmly:
S-Oh yes I'll make you change your mind Danno, there is no way I'll let you work and I'm your boss so I'll put on sick leave whether you like it or not! You can hate me as much as you want but you know I'm right, Babe here we're talking about your health and our baby's health and I don't want to relive what I experienced today when I saw you fell from these stairs!
The detective bit his lower lip and then gave up:
D-Okay, I agree, but you have to be ready for me being more insufferable than usual for being locked in house all the time and you know you weren't forced to play the boss card for making me change my mind
The Commander approached Danny and kissed him saying:
S-If it can keep you and the baby alive I am ready to support your bad mood and then with the hormones you were already more insufferable than usual
D-Hey!
Steve laughed and avoided the smaller man's fist before going to Dr. Sanders and saying to her he was able to convince Danny to stay at home until the birth of their baby to what Fiona congratulated him for his patience and determination and the two teammates/husbands came home for a quick dinner and then watching a game on T.V (to which Danny fell asleep while watching in his husband's arms… Not tired he said huh?) they after went to bed, Danny in Steve's arms and the Commander with his head in the detective's neck smelling his scent, he will never get tired of his scent, and both fell asleep happy to have escaped the worst.
The next morning Steve woke up as usual early for his morning swim and run, he slowly pulled out of the bed without waking Danny and kissed him on the cheek before leaving but when he returned inside home, wet hair and in his swim trucks to poured himself a coffee and get dressed to go to work he found his Danno already seated around the kitchen's table with his bedhead and taking his breakfast as if he'll also go to work today. The Commander approached Danny who gave him a nod in direction of a prepared plate, filled with fried eggs for him and said:
D-Steven how many times have I told you to dry you off before you enter the house? You're dripping water everywhere!
The ex-Navy SEAL ignored his comment before responding with his arms crossed and his'' aneurysm face'':
S-And can I know what you're doing up at this hour, you shouldn't have left the bad the doctor has prescribed you rest!
D-The doctor advised me to take it easy it doesn't mean that I have to spend my days lying in bed Steve!
Steve approached Danny and lowered himself at the level of his stomach before putting his head on it as if he was listening to the baby:
S-Wait, huh huh, yeah I see. The baby said that she wanted to do a nap, you're right honey
D-Since when do you talk to my belly exactly?
S-Oh for longer than you think and I'm sure that's reason why you got up is much simpler than that, and I repeat to you, it's out of the question that you go to work!
D-No, it wasn't for that, I didn't feel your presence against me anymore so I woke up that's it
S-Of course you know Danno you're a terrible liar
D-Oh like you my dear loving husband!
Steve laughed but Danny, he still wasn't ready to stay at home:
D- But it's true that I was hoping you'd take me to...
S-No!
D-Oh please I'll just do all the paperwork that's all
S-No, and I know you'll not resist the temptation to go with us on the crime scene so you stay here baby, because I will not take you anywhere
D-Okay here you want to sequester me right?
The brown one kissed him before answering:
S-No, but if you forcing me then yes it is. Well I've got to dress myself and you, get some rest and don't take this opportunity for hide yourself in the car I'll know it anyway
D-Ok I'm going to rest but don't complain if I go crazy for being locked!
Steve then went to get dressed and kissed Danny before leaving who for his side sat on the couch trying to take a nap.
5-0's team took care of a case that was way too easy and unmolested, at the edge of the foreseeable for once and it only took them the morning so it remain them time to eat and while the cousins thought Steve was going to eat with them he threw them:
S-I'll let you this time, I want to see how Danny is and eat with him
C-OK, how was he this morning?
S- Good but he's so stubborn, it was hard for him to stay at home, a little more and I handcuffed him to bed!
K- It's at this point?
S-Yeah, he said he would go crazy staying at home
K-More reason to go see him now, you should never let someone crazy alone you know
Steve and Chin laughed at this remark, and while the cousins walked to a restaurant, the Commander drove home to find his husband who was probably bored, but when he returned he saw Danny lying on the sofa, asleep and snoring softly so he began to wake him up by kissing him in the neck:
D-Go away Steve
S-And you said you weren't tired right?
D-Yeah ok I admit I lied, you're happy! By the way how was it at work?
S-Fairly well let's say that the case wasn't so hard
Danny also saw that his husband didn't seem to have been injured and said with a semblance of sarcasm and mockery:
D-And you didn't get hurt? It must have been a really easy case, like a little boy who has stolen a candy in a candy shop
S-I've been more careful than usual as it's true and as the case was over pretty fast I decided to eat with you because I didn't want to leave you alone too long although apparently you didn't need company
D-Are you kidding? You know I hate being alone with nothing to do
The ex-Navy SEAL laughed and the blonde one rose up from the couch to go and prepare something to eat and when they were seated around the table Steve took Danny's hand in his to share some ideas who were in his head for a long time with him:
S-You know Danno I started thinking about the name we could give to our daughter and I like Leilani
Danny dropped his fork on his plate and looked his husband right into the eyes before answering:
D-Listen to me carefully Steven John McGarrett I will not let you give a Hawaiian name to our daughter that's clear!
S-You know she's half-Hawaiian right?
D-Yes, I know it very well
S-So it would be normal to give her a Hawaiian name!
D-Yes it is normal for you oh great inhabitant of this infested pineapple hellhole but for me it is not!
Steve saw that the little blond was on edge and decided not to go further into this idea even if he really wanted to name his child with a Hawaiian name then the Commander's phone rang and he saw that it was Chin:
S-Yeah Chin?
C-Sorry to bother you but we have a case who wait us
S-I knew that the previous one was too easy, I'm on my way
He hung up and said to Danny:
S-Sorry there's another case, I have to go
D-I know go ahead and be careful because I'm not there to catch your crap and bullshits
The brown one kissed his husband and left hoping that the case wouldn't be too hard, he wanted to be at home with Danny as soon as possible.
But this time the case was muscular, the body of a young man was found burned in a car and the fire that burn the car wasn't accidental but rather murderer, the 5-0's team began to work for a huge part of afternoon.
Danny on his side had Grace on the phone to explain that he stopped working until the baby is born to what the girl said she wanted to be with him because she knew her daddy didn't like to alone at home but her mother would never let Danny see his daughter off weekend so she merely said:
G-Although I cannot be with you physically I am with you in thought Danno, get some rest and the baby will be born in good shape!
D-Thanks Monkey
G-Well I gotta go, I love you Danno and tell Dad that I love him too
D Yes I would tell him and Danno loves you too Grace
He then hung up in a better mood, but as he was about to leave the kitchen he heard movement coming from the living room, he tried to make as little noise as possible and move slowly into the living room to see who was the intruder and when he was in the living room he saw a person who was back turned at him and when the person turned Danny just had enough time to say:
D-You!
The person was faster than him and hit him in the head with a gun and Danny fell to the ground:
?- Nighty night Detective.
