Here's another snippet for you all!

Just a warning to everyone that I won't be updating any of my stories until Monday 1st February when I'll probably end up doing a big update! I have one or two things in real life I need to work on hence why there will be a break

This is part of the Navy SEAL saga where Danni and Steve marry long before they come to Hawaii. I'll probably explore this saga in a lot more detail as well.

Please be away that male Danny features in this version so Danni will be referred to as Danielle unless someone is directly speaking to her.

Anyway please enjoy the chapter!

Overall Summary

A glimpse into the McDanni world featuring lots of romance, drama, and gun fights, babies and a whole lot more. Based on the A/U Danni world.

The Navy SEAL saga

Snippet number sixteen

Danielle McGarrett hummed quietly to herself, feeling warm and content as she finished changing her three month old son Oliver. It had been a perfect evening, the kids had behaved themselves and followed her instructions down to the letter. If they were curious as to where their father was they remained silent over it. Probably coming to the same conclusion that Danielle had that it was last minute work which was keeping Steve McGarrett away from his family and the bedtime routines he was so integral to.

She picked Oliver up, resting him against her shoulder before she kissed his soft chubby cheek. Her free hand coming up to rest against the back of his head in a protective hold. If she could have her way she would stay here forever, simply holding her content son in her arms, safe in the knowledge that for once everything was okay in their world. Everyone was healthy, everyone was happy and that was all she ever needed to know. If her family were happy then so was she.

She glanced down at Oliver, pleased to see that he was beginning to drift off to sleep, a sleep that would hopefully last most of the night. Her other children were all in bed already, the only one who was awake was their eldest Alex who was in the living room completing his last minute homework, he had given her a distracted smile earlier when she had checked on him before turning his attention back to his work.

She had walked half way up the stairs when she suddenly stopped, her attention caught by the familiar sound of a Camaro pulling up in their drive way. She frowned slightly in confusion, the only person who she knew has a Camaro was her husband's work partner Danny Williams, but he normally only drove Steve home when Steve didn't have his truck with him. Danielle could have sworn that Steve had taken it with him that morning though perhaps she was mistaken.

"Well little man, it looked like your Godfather has come by for a little visit, maybe if we ask him really nicely he'll read you a bedtime story. I know how much you love it when Papa Danno reads to you. It's because he does all the different voices isn't it?" She asked him "I'll let you into a little secret, Daddy is a little jealous of Danno's storytelling abilities but don't tell anyone, it's our secret baby" She told her son, kissing his temple before she twisted on the stairs and made her way down them, towards the front door.

Danny had the tendency of just walking in unannounced to their home, coming in and making himself at home there which she was surprisingly fine about, he did belong partly with them.

She frowned to herself when the door remained closed, tilting her head to the side Danielle listened carefully but she couldn't hear the sound of voices, only the breeze rustling through the trees. Stepping forwards she peered through the window to the side of the door. It took a moment or two for her eyes to adjust to the growing darkness outside but when they did she felt a chill go through her. Danny was sitting in the driver's seat of his car, his head slumped against the steering wheel not moving.

Danielle reacted instantly, moving into the living room before she even knew she was moving. Her gaze meeting Alex's startled one.

"Mum?" He began to say stopping when she spoke over him, her voice low and serious.

"Take your brother upstairs now and stay hidden, do not come down until I give you the all clear" She told him, reaching out and wrapping her hand around the back of his neck meeting his hazel eyes. "Operation Revelation" she stated, watching him react instantly to the word, the same way his father had taught him to. He was on his feet in a second, scooping Oliver out of her arms. He gave her one frightened look before he ran upstairs with Oliver secure in his hold.

Danielle swallowed, waiting until she heard the sound of the door upstairs closing before she looked towards the front door. She made her way to the side cabinet and unlocked it, pulling out the box inside and opening it. She reached in slowly and removed the gun, checking the clip before she looked back to the front door. Setting her shoulders she approached it and opened it. Her eyes immediately focusing on the car and on Danny who still hadn't moved.

Every instinct she held was screaming at her to get to Danny as soon as possible, she needed to make sure he was okay but she couldn't. She was the only line of defence for her children until Steve arrived, if Danny was injured or worse dead, if this was somehow a trap to flush them all out then she needed to be careful. As much as she loved Danny, and she did, her children always came before anyone else.

"Danny" she called out, her voice breaking the silence. It was steady and clear which she was glad of, a silent sigh of relief escape her when she saw him move in response to her voice. "Babe are you alone or have you brought some company to say hey?" She asked him, lingering by the door, her grip tightening on the gun.

Danny looked up at her, his face ravaged by tears and slowly nodded.

"I'm alone babe" he answered back, his voice harsh and rough making her wince in sympathy for him.

Danielle hesitated only long enough to put the safety on the gun and place it on the side before she was sprinting towards the car, taking the porch steps two at a time. Fear crept up her spine, she had never seen Danny so defeated. Was he hurt? Was Abbie and their kids okay? Jesus was Steve okay?

"Danny, Danny" she called frantically, her eyes searching his blue eyes through the window as she scrambled for the door handle in the dark, she grasped it and jerked it open, falling to knees beside him and grabbed his hand, alarmed at how cold his fingers were in hers. She was no medical expert but she was pretty sure that Danny was either going into shock or already in shock. She needed to get him inside and warmed up. "Danny please what is it? What's happened? Is it the kids? Is it Abbie? Is it… is it…" her voice trailed off for a moment, her grip on his hand tightening before she forced the words past the sudden lump in her throat. "Is it Steve? Please talk to me."

Danny swallowed loudly, his tongue peeking out and licking his lips before he managed to speak.

"Matt"

Danielle reared back slightly in surprise at the word. She and Steve had met Danny's younger brother Matt the night before. He had been a pleasant man, amusing and good looking with the Williams looks though his hair and eyes had been dark brown instead of blond and blue like his brother's. He was charming though he had shown far too much interest in herself and Danny's own fiancé Abbie for her liking. A fact that she knew Steve had picked up on if he sudden possessiveness had been anything to go by. What could have happened in such a short space of time to evoke such a reaction in Danny? Was Matt dead? Was he seriously injured? None of it was making any sense to her.

"You need to come inside Danno" She pleaded with him softly, reaching down and finding his seatbelt holder, pressing on the button and releasing him from it. "We can talk inside where it's warmer."

Danny blinked, looking as though he was coming to from a bad dream, she watched as he looked around her, eyes lingering on the black sky before his eyes swung to her, taking in her face and the fact that she was kneeling on the floor beside him dressed only in a short sleeveless dress which did nothing to protect her from the cool breeze.

"Danielle?" He said, blinking before he suddenly jerked his hand from her grasp almost sending her tumbling to the floor. "What the hell was I thinking, I shouldn't be here. I've already tainted myself, I'm not going to taint you and Steve and your family as well. I should never have come"

"Tainted?" Danielle repeated, grabbing his arm again to stop him from closing the door. "You are not tainted by anything" she snapped, her eyes narrowing at him. She could tell from the way his jaw was clenched that he was barely holding on, if he left now he could end up having an accident and Danielle couldn't allow that to happen. There was only one way she knew of which would definitely make him stay. "Babe please, the children are inside and they need me, Ollie needs me. You know I'm not going to let you go so come with me"

"Ollie?" Danny asked, rubbing tiredly at his eyes, his shoulders slumping down as the fight left him allowing her to move him out of the car. She would have smiled at any other time at the power his little godson held over him but right at that moment in time she didn't feel like smiling again.

Danielle pushed the car door shut behind him and locked it before she wrapped her arm around his waist and pulled his other arm over her shoulder, grasping at the wrist and allowing him to rest most of his body weight against her. It was a struggle to remain upright but she managed it. Setting her shoulders she began walking back towards the house, helping him along. Her anxiety for him growing with every step they took. Danny was walking slowly, hunched forward as though he was suffering from a terrible wound though she couldn't see any blood on him.

"We're nearly there Danno" she told him soothingly, helping him up the porch steps and through their front door, she didn't stop until they were in the living room where she gently eased him onto the sofa. She stood above him for a moment, giving him a long look before she fished out her phone and sent the same text to Steve and to Chin's wife Malia who was a doctor, just a simple text featuring two words which she prayed they would react to instantly.
