p class="MsoBodyText"span style="mso-spacerun: 'yes'; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; font-size: 12.0000pt;""Hey, Danny! Lou said that Bailey asked to talk to you." Steve said walking up to Danny./span/p
p class="MsoBodyText"span style="mso-spacerun: 'yes'; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; font-size: 12.0000pt;""Yup, she wanted to take Grace outta school for the rest of the day and I'm guessing do some shopping. We're also having a Doctor Who marathon tonight. I can text Bailey if you want anything special for dinner." Danny grinned./span/p
p class="MsoBodyText"span style="mso-spacerun: 'yes'; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; font-size: 12.0000pt;""Did she say anything about her appointment? Did she sound any better?" Steve questioned./span/p
p class="MsoBodyText"span style="mso-spacerun: 'yes'; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; font-size: 12.0000pt;""Whoa, big guy. She said her appointment went well. And yeah she sounded a little better." Danny replied./span/p
p class="MsoBodyText"span style="mso-spacerun: 'yes'; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; font-size: 12.0000pt;""Well, that's good. But why did she call Lou and asked to talk to you though?" Steve wondered./span/p
p class="MsoBodyText"span style="mso-spacerun: 'yes'; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; font-size: 12.0000pt;""Probably because she knows how worried you get. Especially since the accident." Danny informed him./span/p
p class="MsoBodyText"span style="mso-spacerun: 'yes'; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; font-size: 12.0000pt;""Yeah, well my wife nearly died Danny! How the hell am I supposed to act!" Steve demanded shouting./span/p
p class="MsoBodyText"span style="mso-spacerun: 'yes'; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; font-size: 12.0000pt;""Hey, Steve there's no need to shout at me. Look I know you are worried, we all are. You obviously more so because you are her husband. Try to calm down you will see her tonight. She is safe and if you really need to hear her voice to confirm that, call her. I do strongly suggest that you calm down before you do so though." Danny said trying to stay calm and not yell back at his friend./span/p
p class="MsoBodyText"span style="mso-spacerun: 'yes'; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; font-size: 12.0000pt;"Steve scrubbed his face with his hands and nodded. He then mumbled an apology to Danny and retreated to his office. Danny watched his partner's retreating backside then got the team together. He informed them that they still had an active case and needed to close it. If they needed anything for the time being come to him. Everyone agreed and they went about their work until it was time to go home./span/p

How about we get outta here, grab a drink, then head to your place for that marathon?"/span/p
p class="MsoBodyText"span style="mso-spacerun: 'yes'; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; font-size: 12.0000pt;""Yeah alright, but just a quick drink. I wanna make sure Vi is okay." Steve stipulated./span/p
p class="MsoBodyText"span style="mso-spacerun: 'yes'; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; font-size: 12.0000pt;""Sure. Come on." Danny agreed./span/p
p class="MsoBodyText"span style="mso-spacerun: 'yes'; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; font-size: 12.0000pt;"The two of them left Five-0 headquarters, got into their respective cars, and went to Rumfire for a drink. The pair had one drink each and then headed to Steve and Bailey's place. The guys parked their vehicles in the driveway and walked up the path to the house together. Once they had made it to the porch the front door opened from the inside and Bailey appeared./span/p
p class="MsoBodyText"span style="mso-spacerun: 'yes'; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; font-size: 12.0000pt;""Hey, you two. Work go alright?" Bailey asked greeting them./span/p

p class="MsoBodyText"span style="mso-spacerun: 'yes'; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; font-size: 12.0000pt;""Steve, I'm fine. Calm down.

p class="MsoBodyText"span style="mso-spacerun: 'yes'; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; font-size: 12.0000pt;""Hey, Bails. You and Grace have fun today?" Danny asked entering the house and closing the front door behind him./span/p
p class="MsoBodyText"span style="mso-spacerun: 'yes'; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; font-size: 12.0000pt;""It was awesome, Danno! Bailey and I had a great time. We went shopping, had a late lunch, and Bailey invited me to join the Doctor Who marathon with you guys." Grace piped up entering the room from the kitchen./span/p
p class="MsoBodyText"span style="mso-spacerun: 'yes'; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; font-size: 12.0000pt;""Hey, monkey. Glad you had a good day. You can help me and Aunt Bailey correct Uncle Steve about the Doctor." Danny said happy to see his daughter./span/p
p class="MsoBodyText"span style="mso-spacerun: 'yes'; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; font-size: 12.0000pt;"Grace walked over to her dad and gave him a hug. Danny returned it with a big smile./span/p

p class="MsoBodyText"span style="mso-spacerun: 'yes'; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; font-size: 12.0000pt;""What is going on Vi? You work half a day and have Lou tell me. You were acting odd this morning. Before we left for work everything was fine. But on the ride and at work you were acting off. I come home and you act like nothing happen." Steve said confused and upset./span/p
p class="MsoBodyText"span style="mso-spacerun: 'yes'; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; font-size: 12.0000pt;""I'm sorry, Steve. You're right I'm not being fair to you. Lately, I've been having migraines, usually when I remember something. I have been also trying to force myself to remember things and then I get a migraine. I didn't want to tell you because I didn't want you to get upset or worry any more than you already have been." Bailey explained./span/p
p class="MsoBodyText"span style="mso-spacerun: 'yes'; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; font-size: 12.0000pt;""Vi, you're my wife. If something is going on I want to know. You've been forcing yourself to remember for me. That's not good. I feel like I've been putting too much pressure on you and now you are getting migraines." Steve said upset./span/p
p class="MsoBodyText"span style="mso-spacerun: 'yes'; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; font-size: 12.0000pt;""No, see this is why I didn't want to tell you. I knew you would do this. It's not your fault, you're not pressuring me to remember. I'm doing that to myself. I'm mad and frustrated that I can't remember the amazing man I married. The migraines are all my own damn fault." Bailey responded trying not to break down in tears./span/p
p class="MsoBodyText"span style="mso-spacerun: 'yes'; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; font-size: 12.0000pt;"Steve pulled his wife into his arms, held her, and said, "Vi, baby. If something is going on I want to know about it. I love you. Don't hide things from me. We will do this together. Yeah, I love it when you remember us. But I never want you to hurt yourself to do it."/span/p
p class="MsoBodyText"span style="mso-spacerun: 'yes'; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; font-size: 12.0000pt;"Bailey snuggled against her husband and listened, really listened to what he was telling her. The man meant it when he said he loved her. But he was right forcing herself to remember was causing her pain and that would also hurt Steve, which was the last thing she wanted./span/p

They joined Danno and Grace, started their Doctor Who marathon, and enjoyed their dinner. During their marathon, Steve covertly got out the memory book. As always there was a post-it on it this one read: /spanemspan style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt;"My very own "King of the Waves". /span/emspan style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt;"Steve gave a confused grin, allowing himself to be pulled away from the world of the Doctor, and into the world of his wife's memory./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt;"Bailey looked over at her husband and noticed that he was losing himself in their shared past. She smiled and let her husband read, allowing herself to be lost in the world of the Doctor./span/p
