N/B Now the elements of the family are a mixture of my own family (parents and two brothers).

Chapter Eight

Elizabeth Williams grinned at him. "None of that, it's Lizzie. Now come here." She grabbed Steve and pulled him down into a hug. "Now aren't you a gorgeous thing." She turned to look at her son and winked at him.

Danny looked at his mom in shock. "Mom!"

"Oh hush Danny, I'm only telling the truth." She pulled back from Steve and smiled at him. She then placed a hand on his face. "Our Gracie thinks the world of her Uncle Steve, Uncle Chin and Aunt Kono. Thank you all for making her and Danny happy."

"Me, happy with McDangerous over there and stuck in that pineapple infested hell-hole. Mother have you been at the wine again?" Danny asked as he placed his hands on his hips.

Lizzie turned around and stuck her tongue out at him. She walked over and hugged Chin. "Another handsome man, I may just have to move to Hawaii." She said with a wink and then moved to Kono. "You are extraordinarily beautiful. I am glad that Gracie sent us lots of pictures of all you. You are now on the family wall."

Steve looked at her in surprise. "We're what?"

"You are part of the family now."

"Which you are going to be very sorry for when the witches arrive." Danny whispered.

"Daniel, do not talk about your sisters that way." Lizzie muttered as she made her way into the kitchen with the others following.

"You're, not like your mother, are you?" Chin asked.

"What do you mean?" Danny glared at him.

"Well, she's easy going and flirts brah." Kono said with a chuckle.

Lizzie turned and looked at them. "Danny doesn't flirt, really."

"No mom, no." Danny pleaded.

"Don't get me wrong, if they don't ask him out or bluntly say that they like him, he misses it. But flirting oh yeah he does extremely well with that. Oh, by the way Danny, I have had at least 10 phone calls from numerous women and." She caught Danny's look... "Uhhh they want to come and see you."

Steve turned to Chin and Kono; Steve looked confused, while the other two knew that she was going to say men, after all they knew how Danny felt about their boss. "You go sit in there, I'll help mum with the coffees."

"Coffees pffft." Lizzie spluttered from the kitchen, "beers for you three and wine for me."

Danny watched his three friends as they sat down and headed off to the kitchen,

"Mom." He shook his head.

"So, they don't know you play on both sides of the street, to double the chance of a date."

"Mom and no," Danny paused. "Well Steve doesn't."

"Ahhh, so they have realised that you are in love with this SEAL of yours."

"Oh my god, owwww." Danny rubbed his head where she slapped him.

"Do not take God's name in vain. You should tell him."

"I can't, I think he realises that I am attracted to him."

Lizzie turned to him and grinned. "Really did something happen? Did you kiss? Do more?"

"Mother." Danny shook his head and laughed. "It was more of a look, an awareness, I guess."

"So what are you going to do?"

"I don't know, and if all he wants is," Danny stopped and looked at his mother, "something just physical I'm not sure I can say no."

"So, if he wants sex you're going to jump him." Lizzie chuckled.

"This is the reason I don't bring people home." Danny sniffed grabbed the beers and headed into the front room.

"Your mom is great, not what I expected." Kono grinned and asked as soon as Danny walked in.

"It gets worse, my dad and my sisters aren't here." Danny laughed as handed out the beers.

Suddenly the front door went, and the noise level jumped up as three women and an older man came in. They walked into the living room saw Danny rushed over and hugged him. They all turned to look at the three visitors. Kono and Chin sat on a three-seater sofa, and Steve was on the two-seater.

"Everyone sit down and then we can interrogate, uhhhh get to know Chin, Kono and Steve better." Samantha grinned evilly.

Just then the door opened, and in walked Liam, he smiled and headed towards Danny. They could see the Williams' clan shake their heads. Just as, he was at Danny's side, Steve reached up and pulled Danny down onto the sofa next to him and stretched his arm out across the back of it. His hand bent so his fingers brushed Danny's shoulder. He looked up at Liam and smirked.
