Author Note

Here's another snippet for you.

I know I have a lot of stories to finish and I promise I will but work has been terribly busy this week and by the time I've got home from the office, my brain has already gone to sleep. Hopefully next week won't be as bad and I will be able to start getting back to writing properly again.

This is a version of the model saga which I played around with before going for the direction I went for. Danni in this one fell pregnant straight away but continued to work until she was eight months pregnant travelling the world, though any time she wasn't working she was in Hawaii with Steve.

I won't be revisiting this version other than the odd snippet placed up though I may integrate some of the ideas into Aloha. We'll have to see if it fits.

I should also add that the abrupt ending is for a reason, this was always going to be a first chapter rather than a completed one shot.

Anyway enough from me, please enjoy my offering and hopefully I'll be updating a lot more next week

Other note

Please keep in mind that I don't have a Beta for this story so the odd mistake may creep in without me meaning it to. I have also never been to Hawaii so all locations are either from the show, google or made up in my own mind.

Saga

The Model Saga

Part Twenty Five

Danni was dreaming.

She was comfortable and warm, her body aching pleasantly as though she had been taken care of. And best of all she could hear Steve's voice, speaking quietly nearby, every word he uttered laced with a love which made her sigh, her body clenching with desire, desire to have him near, desire to be with him, desire to see his beautiful eyes. All she wanted was Steve.

She shifted slightly again, a slight movement which alerted her brain that she was awake enough to think, sending memories of the previous day to her. She had arrived in Hawaii from Japan, she had gone straight to Steve who had taken the time off work that she was staying before he had taken her home and proceeded to love her over and over again like she had dreamed about for months until finally her body had given in and sleep had claimed her.

Which meant that she was truly hearing Steve's voice and that he was nearby her. She smiled slightly as she felt her baby responding to Steve's voice, moving in her, gently kicking as though she had known that Danni had been asleep and didn't want to disturb her. Her beautiful unborn child, the result of her love for Steve and his for her. A love which had swept over them both, taking over and changing their lives for ever.

She found herself listening to Steve words.

"You'll love it here sunshine, we'll go swimming every day whenever you want to because you will have a private beach all to yourself just outside the doorway and the three of us will go swimming together because Daddy is a SEAL and Mummy loves the water as well so you'll love it as well and Auntie Kono can teach you how to surf and Uncle Chin will make sure you're fed and Uncle Danno will lecture you about the dangers of everything but it's only because he already loves you and wants you safe sunshine. Even better is that there will be no random guys on our beach who will be able to watch your mummy. I know you can't see her yet but your Mummy is the most beautiful woman in the world, she so kind and gentle but she has a wicked sense of humour. She loves you so, so much sunshine but our problem is that Mummy never realises how beautiful she is or how much men stare at her or hit on her so if you see anyone hitting on your mummy or staring at her to long then you kick baby and I'll know because my job is to always, always keep your safe sunshine and I will. I will love you forever, your mummy too and we are going to be so happy together, just the three of us, a happy little family and then you never know maybe in the future we'll give you a small brother or sister though right now all we want is you. Just you sunshine."

Danni swallowed hard, blinking back tears as she felt Steve kiss the bare skin over her baby bump, running her hands over it. The touch soft and incredibly gentle. She reached down and ran her hand over Steve's bare shoulder, tracing his muscles still hardly able to wrap her head around the fact that she could.

"Hey you, did we wake you up?" Steve asked her, sliding up so he was leaning over her, kissing her gently, his hand wrapping round the back of her neck holding her. She moaned slightly at the touch, tilting her head to the side and kissing him back, wrapping her arm round him, holding him to her.

"I don't mind being woken up like this" She murmured back. "Little one is active today" She commented with a sigh, reaching down and stroking her hand over her belly, silently saying good morning to her child and smiling when she felt a resounding kick against her hand, as though their baby recognised her touch and was responding to it.

"Yeah I felt that" He said, a wide grin coming to his face as he rested his hand over hers, entwining their fingers together and resting them against her bump. "You know what I think it is" He commented, nuzzling his face into her neck and gently kissing the skin.

"Hmmm?" She responded, rolling to her side so she was facing him. "What's that then?"

"I think our daughter wants Mummy and Daddy to get out of bed and to take her swimming in the ocean" He told her, framing the side of her face with one of his hands and simply staring down at her, his eyes soft before he ducked down and kissed her.

"I think Mummy would like to make use of this comfortable bed and actually have a sleep in for once, I can't remember the last time I actually could just stay in bed all day if I chose to, normally there's always something happening which I need to get prepared for."

"What if I promised you that tomorrow we will just stay in bed tomorrow, completely naked for the whole day and that I will wait hand and foot on you" He said "This morning I want to take you and my baby to see the sights, starting with swimming. Then we could do shopping and get her nursery ready here and have lunch and then this evening we're having dinner with Danno and Grace."

"You promise?" She said, smiling when he nodded.

"I promise" He told her "And just think, my house leads onto my own private beach and sea, we wouldn't even have to get dressed, I can just carry you down there as we are."

Danni laughed delighted.

"You are terrible" She told him. "Private beach or not, you still have neighbours who could look out of their windows and see us. If we go then we put clothes on first" She said, brushing his hair out of his eyes before she sighed. "I don't want to go to New York" She admitted quietly, content just to lay there with him.

She tilted her head to the side, watching as Steve pulled back slightly so he could see her face, remaining silent for a moment before he spoke.

"Is that where you're going in four days?" He asked. "New York?"

"Yeah, New York for five days and then Rome for four and then Milan for three days and then Tokyo for seven"

"Danni" He murmured, leaning down and kissing her, wrapping an arm around her and rolling onto his back so she was above him, staring down at him. "That's a lot of travelling sweetheart" He said reluctantly, as though he was worried about what she would say.

"I know but it's nearly over Steve and then I'll be here" She promised. "Our baby will be born in Hawaii with you by my side, holding my hand through it all" She leaned down and kissed him. "I like you in this position" She teased, running her hand down his chest.

"I like you in any position which has you naked" He replied, a smile on his face. "Why don't you want to go to New York? I know how professional you are and…"

"I don't want to leave you" She told him, cutting across him. "It has nothing to do with the work and everything to do with you. Four days, even four days where we are together all the time isn't enough Steve. A lifetime spent with you would still not be enough. I don't want to go back to sleeping alone, wanting and needing you next to me and knowing that you're not"

"At the risk of sounding a bastard I am so glad that man died and led me to you" He told her with a laugh, staring down at her face. Danni stared back at him, reading the love in his eyes and smiled. "I love you" He told her simply, kissing her before he sat up, gently lifting her to the side of him. "Stay here" he told her, getting to his feet and moving over to his set of drawers opening the top one. Danni sat watching him, her eyes moving up and down his naked form.

"When you serve me tomorrow could you make sure you do it naked?" She asked with a cheeky grin, Steve winked over his shoulder at her though he remained quiet. She watched him pick up something, hesitating for a moment before he moved back towards the bed falling to his knees by her. "It's more comfortable on the bed" She pointed out to him, raising her eyebrow when he made a hushing sound at her, reaching out with one of his hands and gripping one of hers lightly in his, kissing the back of it.

"I've done this a million times in my head since the day we met" He confessed. "And never once was it quite like this, both of us naked, first thing in the morning. I want to do it right. I wanted to do it properly. We're a family, you, me and our baby. Nothing anyone ever says will change that fact to me. You and our baby are my world, my very reason for being. Everything I do is for the pair of you now, every time I'm at work I think of you and I stop taking stupid risks because all I think about is how I need to be there for you and our daughter. I thought there would be candles and we'd be at the most expensive restaurant on the island because I thought it was what you want but now, well now I see that this is the perfect moment for us. A moment where we are alone together and can just be. You are everything to me Danni, I was surviving before we met but now I'm living. You make me want to live. You've taught me about love, about how even from a distance I can still know how you feel about me. Danni. You've made me believe in fate and in soul mates and every other cliché I can think of to do with love." He said, looking up at her and meeting her eyes. "Will you make my life finally complete and do me the honour of being my wife?"

Danni's breathe left her body in a whoosh as she stared at him.

"Steve?" She said in shock. "Do you… do you mean it?" She asked him shakily. Steve nodded at her, bringing her hand up to his mouth and gently opened it, kissing the centre of her palm in a way that made her shudder.

"I have never meant anything more in my life Danni" He told her simply.

Danni stared at him, her eyes moving over his face slowly, tracing his features as she marvelled just how much she loved the man in front of her. She breathed out shakily again and nodded her head.

"Yes Steve" She whispered, barely able to get the words out. "Yes, of course I'll marry you."
