"Wow, the gold Medal of Valor." Kono shook her head in awe as she, Chin and Lou walked across the foyer of the capitol building and out of the capitol building's entrance doors, "Danny really deserves it."

"I don't think I could do what he did, not only landing that plane but then going after Dae Won, to get justice for Steve, despite the fact he was injured, and then donating half his liver to save Steve's life without even thinking about it." Lou shook his head as they headed towards the car, "I can't decide if he's brave or if some of McGarrett's craziness is rubbing off on him."

"I think it could be a combination of both." Kono nodded as she glanced across at Chin as they reached the car, she frowned, "You're awfully quiet, Cous, is everything okay?"

"I was just thinking of something Grace said." Chin sighed, looking across the roof of the car at Kono and Lou as he continued, "When Dog brought Charlie and Grace to see in the ICU, Grace got quite upset to see me there and she demanded to know why I was there. She accused us of not being treating Danny, her or Charlie as ohana anymore, of not being Danny's friends."

"She was just upset, Brah," Kono tried to reassure him.

"She's old enough to understand that she might lose her father," Lou added softly, his heart breaking for Grace and Charlie as he tried to push away the thoughts of how his own kids would react if they lost him, "she's scared and she's hurting, so she is just striking out. Don't take anything she says at the moment personally, I doubt she mean anything she said."

Chin shook his head as they opened the car doors and climbed inside, "No, it's more than Grace just striking out, she's right, Lou. Danny's had a rough couple of years with the custody battle with Rachel over Grace, everything that happened with Matt and his imprisonment in Columbia, then there was Amber, and to top it all of Rachel's treatment of Danny when it came to Charlie. I don't know how I would have handled being told my son wasn't my son for four years and then being told out of the blue one day that he is my son and by the way he needs my bone marrow to save his life."

"I agree he has had a rough couple of years…" Lou agreed. "But he's strong, he's been holding it all together. He has custody of both of his kids…"

"But what if he isn't as strong as we think at the moment? What if he needed some help with everything that was happening?" Chin asked, looking at both his colleagues as Lou started the car.

"What do you mean?" Kono frowned.

"Listen, I know we agreed to give Danny some time and space so he could get to know and bond with Charlie better." Chin began as he looked at his cousin in the back seat, "But what if we have given him too much space." Looking back at Lou, he continued, "When was the last time, including Steve, that any of us went over to Danny's just to spend some time with him or went out with just him for drinks after work?"

Lou frowned, turning off the car engine before he turned to look at Chin. "Not for a couple of months…"

Chin nodded, "Did either of you go and see him after he donated the bone marrow to Charlie? Because I know I didn't."

Both Kono and Lou slowly shook their heads guiltily.

"I thought that he would probably appreciate not having many visitors while he and Charlie recovered." Kono answered softly.

"Me too," Chin admitted, "but maybe we were wrong."

"But Danny knows we're ohana, Chin." Kono argued, as a small ripple of guilt rippled through her soul.

"Does he?" Chin challenged quietly.

"Of course he does," Kono answered before adding a little uncertainly, "doesn't he?"

Chin shrugged, "I'm not so sure anymore, Kono, if Danny knows we are still his ohana then why didn't he tell us or Steve about his dad's heart attack or why hasn't he told any of us why he has been making so many trips to the mainland lately."

"Now you mention it, I have noticed he has been talking less and less about himself." Lou frowned, "I just put it down to everything that was happening in his life. I mean coping with a teenager, especially a teenage girl is bad enough, but add everything else that has happened between him and Rachel with Charlie…"

"I can't help thinking that we do tend to take Danny for granted sometimes, we forget just what a great cop and what a generous guy he is sometimes because Danny is Danny and, well, Steve is Steve. But what if Grace is right about her and Danny feeling like they are being pushed aside? That Danny feels like he is no longer ohana."

"It could explain why he seems to be pulling away lately." Lou agreed slowly.

Chin shifted uncomfortably on the seat, and swallowed hard, "Last night after everything that happened, the plane crash, the possibility of Steve dying, Danny donating his liver…the liver transplant, I think we all reinforced that feeling that they were no longer part of the Five 0 ohana in both their minds."

Kono blinked in surprise, unsure of what Chin was talking about as she asked softly, "I don't understand, Chin, how?"

"All the cards and the get-well gifts Steve received." Lou breathed as he remembered the look on both Danny's and Grace's faces after Danny had asked if any of the gets well cards were for him. At the time, it had seemed funny but now…

"But Danny got cards…" Kono paused as she looked wide- eyed at her companions as she realized that the only card Danny had received had been from Grace and Charlie. Blinking back the tears as she realized just how much they had accidentally hurt Danny, she felt her heart break at how they had treated such an important member of their little ohana as she whispered. "Poor Danny..."
