Snippet number eight

Danny Williams threw his pen onto the report he was writing and stood up, making his way out of his new office and heading over to the office which belong to his new partner and boss Steve McGarrett.

The taskforce which Danny was now a part of, had been up and running for just over a week now and so far they had managed to solve two complicated cases. Danny thought that they would be fine with just the four of them working the cases but clearly Steve and the Governor had a different view than he did. They were bringing in a fifth member of the task force, a tech specialist who was apparently one of the best computer geeks and hackers in America, perhaps even the world.

A computer geek and hacker who just happened to be Steve McGarrett's wife.

A wife, Danny hadn't even known existed until that morning when Steve had made his announcement in their morning meeting.

He knocked on Steve's door, waiting for the older man to wave him in before he opened it and entered the room, closing the door behind him and leaning against it. His gaze focusing on Steve who was sitting behind his desk looking at something on his screen.

"What can I do for you Danny?" Steve asked, a casual tone to his voice as though he was vaguely interested in hearing the answer.

"I was just in my office thinking" Danny remarked "About this team and everything and how we're partners and how you somehow forgot to mention to me during the time we've spent together over the past week that you were a married man" He stated.

Steve made a noise in the back of his throat, not bothering to look up from the screen though Danny could detect the small smirk which came to Steve's face at his comment.

"I thought you would have used your Detective skills and noticed the wedding ring on my finger" Steve replied back. "Besides why is it important exactly?"

"Why is it important?" Danny repeated in disbelief. "Oh I don't know Steven, perhaps because we're now partners, which for the record was your choice. I would have thought during the whole getting to know each other talks we had, that a subject like that would have come up"

"If it makes you feel better, I rarely tell anyone about my wife until I trust them. I'm not about to reveal my most important secrets to just anyone. Beside it took a near death experience for you to tell me what Danno meant."

"It's hardly the same thing" Danny remarked dryly before he pushed himself off the door and headed into the room, collapsing into the chair in front of Steve's desk. "We've got twenty minutes until your wife is due in right?" He asked, waiting until Steve nodded before he continued speaking before he continued. "Well in that case we have twenty minutes for you to tell me about her. Let's start with something nice and simple shall we? Like is she crazy like you?"

Steve finally looked up from the screen and looked at Danny, his smirk becoming more pronounced.

"You love my craziness already, admit it" He responded, grinning at the look Danny gave him. "And the answer to your question is no" He said looking back at the screen. "There's not a crazy bone in her body. She's an amazing human being, much better than I am"

Danny raised an eyebrow at the look on his partner's face at the mere thought of his wife. This was a man who was deeply in love from the look of it.

"That's high praise then" Danny said cautiously "What is her name then or are we meant to just refer to her as Mrs McGarrett or Steve's wife?"

"I think you'll like her name" Steve said "She's called Danielle… Danielle McGarrett but you can call her Mrs McGarrett" Steve teased.

"Steven" a soft feminine voice said from the doorway. "Why are you telling him that? He can call me Danni just like you do"

Danny was still looking at Steve when the voice spoke so he got a full blast of the grin that came to Steve's face as the other man came to his feet in one fluid movement.

"Beloved!" Steve exclaimed "You're here? I thought you were coming in for nine today" He questioned, a soft tone coming to his voice which Danny hadn't heard before. He watched as Steve moved around the desk before he turned in his seat looking towards the door, his eyes widening as his mouth fell partially open as he took in the woman at the door.

She was gorgeous with long wavy blond hair and grey eyes set in a fair face. She was small in height, smaller than even he was and slim. She wore a long black skirt and a patterned black and white top with heels.

"I was originally going to come in at nine but since my new boss woke me up at five AM because he wanted a kiss before he went swimming I decided I might as well make the most of the day and come in early. You know so I can check that you actually ordered all the equipment I asked for. I've got to leave at one today anyway, Alex's teacher called this morning and he wants to have a quick meeting about something." Danni remarked, allowing Steve to pull her into a hug.

"A meeting about what exactly?" Steve asked, squeezing her tightly to him and burying his nose into her soft Blonde hair and breathing in the familiar scent of Vanilla and orange that always seemed to surround her.

"I've got no idea Steve, I won't know what the meeting is about until I'm actually there but the teacher did say that we have nothing to worry about and that Alex wasn't in trouble of any kind" She said, stepping away from Steve and looking towards Danny, her eyes scanning his face. She looked serious until a shy smile came to her face. "You must be the other Danny who is now in Steve's life?" She queried curiously.

Danny swallowed, closing his mouth sharply when he realised he was drooling over his partner's wife, taking a moment to compose himself before he answered her.

"No, no trust me when I say you can keep him and be the only Danni in his life. My life is already confusing enough without making it more so by having Steve in it." He said, smiling at Steve to soften the words. "I don't believe we've been introduced yet" He went on to say, coming to his feet and noticing that she was only an inch or two shorter than him. A glance at her feet showed that the wedge she was wearing must have been at last three inches so he would hazard a guess that Danielle was about five foot, a whole foot shorter than her husband. She had that whole delicate fragile look that brought out every protective instinct he had. "I'm Danny Williams" He told her, holding his hand out to her.

Danielle smiled at him, searching his eyes briefly before she placed her hand in his.

"Hello Danny Williams" She responded, "I'm Danni McGarrett. It's nice to finally meet you, I've heard a lot about you from Steve"

"You did?" Danny said "I'm sorry but I haven't heard that much about you. Steve here decided to drop the bombshell that he was married during our staff meeting. He's not the best at mammal to mammal relationships is he?" He asked, lowering his voice to a whisper, grinning at the outraged noise which Steve made in response.

Danielle laughed, the sound causing Danny to grin widely at her.

"I think you'll find Danny that he can be very good at mammal to mammal relationships when he chooses to be" She responded, looking towards Steve and sharing a long, loving look with him before she looked back towards Danny. "You just need to get to know him a bit first before he attempts friendliness, unless of course he likes you. Steve tells me he kidnapped you from homicide then?" She questioned, moving around the desk and taking Steve's empty seat. She looked towards Steve. "Sweetheart, can you go and get the babies please? They are in the empty office which I'm assuming from the photos is going to be mine." She said.

"You brought my girls!" Steve said happily, blowing his wife a kiss before he turned and ran from the office.

"See he has no manners, he said my girls" Danny pointed out with a raised eyebrow. Danielle looked briefly amused by the comment before she turned serious, leaning forward on the desk and watched him carefully.

"Steve sees something in you Danny" She remarked softly. "He sees in you a man he can trust. He wouldn't have made you his partner for any other reason. Steve doesn't trust anyone who isn't a member of his family, or rather the people he considers his family. This partnership between you and him, it's a big deal to him so just please be gentle with him occasionally. He's not used to being with people he can rely on. He's grown too used to doing everything himself." She told him, falling silent as the door opened and Steve re-entered, his attention completely focused on the two small girls in his arms.

Danny turned from Danielle, his attention focusing on his partner thoughtfully. The hard ass SEAL which Danni had experienced every day since the day their partnership had started, was gone, revealing a softer man in his place. A man whose whole being was fixed solely on the two babies. One of them, the dark haired one, was crying into Steve's neck, her small pudgy arms wrapped tightly around him. The second one who appeared slightly bigger than the one Steve was holding in his arms, was holding onto his index finger tightly, unsteadily walking beside him as she looked around her with big grey eyes, the exact shade and shape as her mother's. He listened to Steve speak to the dark haired one. His voice quiet and soothing.

"Hope there's no need to cry baby, Mummy is right over there. Looks she's here" He murmured, kissing her temple before he glanced down at the blond one. "Hold on to my hand Bethie" He said.

Danny glanced to the side of him as Danielle came to her feet moving towards Steve and the girls, her attention fixed on them.

"Hope" She called softly, reaching out and taking the crying girl from her father when the girl instantly turned at the sound of her voice. "Come here baby, I'm sorry I wasn't there. Were you scared when you woke up and were by yourself? You're safe now" She promised, brushing the dark curls away from her daughter's flushed face and kissing her, hugging her to her tightly.

Steve watched the scene for a moment before he looked down when he felt Beth let go of his finger.

"Bethie" He called out but the girl was already walking unsteadily towards Danny who was still watching the scene, absently playing with the keys of the Camaro. A set of keys which has a teddy bear dressed in the Yankees kit attached to it.

"Teddy" She said, her sweet voice muffled as she pointed towards it.

Danny looked down, blinking at the little girl and swiftly lost his heart to her. She was absolutely adorable. Tiny but perfectly formed with wavy blond hair just beyond her chin and those big grey eyes. The majority of her face was taken up by a pink dummy.

"Teddy" She repeated again, reaching up a small pudgy hand towards the key, a pleading look coming to her eyes. "Teddy"

"She wants the teddy" Steve said sounding amused, "So you might as well sit down and let her have it. Beth is as stubborn as I am when she wants something,"

Danny groaned, sitting in the chair and rubbed tiredly at his forehead, wondering what he had done to end up with another McGarrett who was apparently just like her father in his life. He couldn't help the slight smile which came to his face when she climbed up on him, settling herself in his lap and reaching for the teddy bear, instantly becoming enthralled by it.

"It looks like you made a friend there Danno" Steve said before he moved over to Danni and peered into the other small girl's face. Hope opened one hazel eye, looking at him seriously before her little face broke into a smile, she reached out resting a hand against Steve's cheek before she turned at the sound of Beth's voice, her smile disappearing into a slight frown as though she was upset that her twin was having fun without her. The small baby turned back to Danni, making a slight noise in the back of her throat as she waved her bare chubby legs, indicating without words that she wanted to be placed on the floor.

Danni gave the small girl a final kiss, holding her for a second longer before she hunched down and placed Hope on the ground, watching fondly as the youngest took a few unsteady steps forward before she fell to her knees, she glanced back over her shoulder at her parents before she began crawling making a break towards the open office door. Steve smiled softly, taking a few steps towards her ready to pick the small girl up when need be.

"Hey Boss, we just got a call from Duke and HPD, a kidnapping just occurred, we've been called in" Kono said stepping through the door, her dark eyes widening as she took in the scene in her boss's office. Danny was sitting on his usual chair with a small blond baby on his lap, Steve was standing near a slight woman who looked only a year or so older than Kono while a small dark haired baby was crawling towards her and the exit. She blinked before she reacted, hunching down as the dark haired baby approached her.

"And who might you be little one? You're a little young to be fighting crime aren't you" She said gently, holding out her hand towards the small girl who stopped and looked up at her with hazel eyes, hazel eyes which looked suspiciously like her boss's hazel eyes.

"That's Hope" Steve said attracting Kono's attention, he was smiling at her but his eyes were watchful and she could tell from the way he was positioned that he was one second away from striking if Kono made one wrong move. Her eyes dropped to the baby again who was staring at her with an open look before she looked back at the woman she didn't know. The woman who shared similar features to Hope. Kono slowly came to her feet, the pieces of the puzzle fitting into place in her mind. She would bet her first wage packet that the woman who Steve was standing protectively in front of was his wife Danielle who he told them about earlier and who was due to start with them today. If Steve hadn't told them about his wife until he had to, then it stood to reason that he hadn't told them about whether he was a father or not. Judging by the two small girls in his office, she would hazard a guess that Steve was a father to twin girls.

"Hope" She repeated.

"Our youngest" Steve confirmed "She's not talking yet so you'll be waiting a while for an answer and she's also shy unlike Beth so…" his voice trailed off as Hope turned from Kono and ran a few steps towards Steve and Danielle falling over again with a little cry. Steve moved instantly, picking the small girl up and kissing her, holding her close to him as he rocked her to and fro, soothing her before he turned back to Kono who was watching the scene with her mouth wide open trying to figure out how this softie holding his baby could be the same hard core Navy SEAL who she saw beat a man to his knees because he wanted answers and yet they were both him. Perhaps the soft side was something which only came out around his wife and daughters. "Who has been kidnapped?" Steve demanded, his voice taking on the familiar commanding tone it always had.

"A fifteen year old boy" Kono answered, shaking herself out of her thoughts as she led the way out of Steve's office towards the central bullpen where Chin was already waiting, the information Duke had provided them on the big screen.

"I brought the details up" The older man said, looking up with a raised eyebrow. "Visitors? Or are HPD hiring younger people now?" He asked, a hint of amusement coming to his voice.

"Funny" Steve remarked. "Everyone listen up. This is Danielle, the newest member of the taskforce" He announced, introducing Danielle, who gave them a wave and a shy smile before her gaze turned to the computer screen. "She's going to be our Intel officer who will gather and find all the information we need for a case, whether that's hacking into some systems or getting us support or whatever, if it's behind the scenes and needs a computer than Danielle is the one you call." He told them sternly, his eyes moving over them all. "These two" He said indicating the two babies "Are Beth and Hope, our youngest daughters. They'll be in the headquarters whenever Danielle is so you'll get used to them in no time." He promised. "Are there any questions before we begin?" He asked, nodding when Chin and Kono both shook their head at him.

"Welcome to the team Danielle, it's a pleasure to have you" Chin said, nodding at Danielle who smiled at him.

"Welcome" Kono piped up. "I'd just like to say two things, one it's good to have another girl on the team and two I love your outfit"

Danielle grinned.

"Why thank you" She said happily "I've had it for a while but I love it and please call me Danni or Elle. I only get called Danielle when I'm in trouble with my parents or Steve" She said, smiling at them both.

"You got it" Kono responded.

"Ouch! Cut it out will you Princess" Danny said from behind Steve.

"Teddy, Teddy"

Steve turned round at the sound of his daughter's happy cry, raising an eyebrow when he saw Danny massaging his chest with a pained look as Beth laughed, clapping her small chubby hands together happily. She reached out, grasped some of Danny's chest hair and pulled, looking at Danny expectantly. Danny seemed to sigh silently before he spoke.

"Ouchy Beth" He said causing Beth to give a shriek of laughter.

Steve grinned widely at the scene before he glanced towards his wife who had covered her mouth with her hand, her slim shoulders shaking as she silently laughed at his partner.

"I'll take that as a no to questions then" He commented, ignoring Danny though he made no effort to hide his amusement from anyone as Beth buried her face into the side of his neck with a cute sounding yawn. "Okay Chin, fill us in on what we've got" he said.

Chin nodded and began explaining the case to them, the sight causing Steve to smile as he looked around his team.

This team was going to work. He just knew it.
