The Punch That Changes Everything! (A McRoll Sory)

I know the show was about Steve and Danny and the Team. I do wish we had a couple of episodes with her parents. Like most parents, I am sure after so many years together, they want their daughter to get married and have kids. Also, I can imagine them being pissed at Steve for not going to Afghanistan to get her and blaming him for being the reason she joined the CIA. Also, the fact he moved on from her so soon in their mind.

This twist is a take on what that encounter might have been like.

I am new to fanfiction, and someone asked me to post another story before I completed one. I had planned to post one at a time. I will give it a shot.

Chapter One

Valentine's Day weekend!

-"Steve entered the hotel suite with Lynn. It was nice, but he didn't want to be there at all. In fact, if It weren't for Danny he wouldn't have agreed to come. He was getting tired of Lynn and knew he needed to break up with her. He saw things she did and didn't like. She was very jealous, texting and calling him all the time. Trying to get information about Catherine. Especially when she came to get him to rescue his Mom, his feelings were all over the place that day. He decided to cook Lynn that romantic dinner because Danny kept saying you needed to do something nice for her, not only see her once a month if then. Stay out of my business Danno. Steve, I am your best buddy and want to see you happy. You will never get there if you don't move on from Catherine. He yelled, Do NOT EVER MENTION CATHERINE's name again! Okay, okay, calm down with the stop with his hand. Just listen to me; you must show a girl you are at least interested in her. To stop Danny and Lou from nagging him, he decided to go the motion and pretend; he was getting good at that now. When he found out she was in the CIA and lied to him, he was mad and worried about her at the same time. He knows the team could tell he was on the verge of losing it that day.

-"Chin said Man, I've never seen Steve like this; he is about to open up a can of whoop ass if he doesn't stop this drive from being unencrypted. It was worse than the day Catherine was kidnapped. You don't have to tell me, I am a police officer, and he didn't give a damn, just getting to her. Chin said why this is so frustrating. The two of them love each other, but both are so stubborn and refuse to talk to one another. Kono said well he should have asked her to stay or go find her. Why said Lou? She left him, but what girl doesn't want to feel like she has been chased and that person would do anything to get them back? Case in point, when Adam left, did I just accept it? No, because I love him, and I knew he loved me. He thought he was doing right by me by leaving. I have a feeling that is what Catherine is doing. I watched them together for years; I see how he behaves when he leaves and when she is around. Come on, guys, fool yourself if you want. He might still be McGarrett, but he is not Steve. I know for a fact he doesn't like Lynn, and he is going through the motions. How do you know ask Lou? Has he invited her to any team function? NO! Has he introduced her to Mary and Joan Or Aunt Deb when she was living? NO! I know for a fact he has NOT taken her to his father's grave. Hell, she has never been to our office. You are right, but Catherine is not coming back, and he needs to try and move on said Lou. They had no idea he heard them. He knew in his heart Kono was right, especially about Lynn.

-"I am going to grab a beer, and he walks out to the balcony. He looks across at the same time as Danny. What are you doing here? They both say Lynn & Melissa and they walk out and say surprise. We have been talking about doing something together for ages, so this was the perfect weekend. We got all sorts of fun stuff planned for our Valentines'. Melissa, come over; I want to go over something with you. Did you know about this? No, I did not and would have put a stop to it if I did. I don't want to spend my Valentine's weekend with the likes of you. Well, just so you know, I don't want to spend it with you, and he whispered or her. Be nice, Steve and you better not ruin my weekend. Whatever and Steve rolled his eyes. Hey guys come back in. Danny comes over to Steve's room. We got a facial at 11, yoga at 1, and dinner at seven. Steve was thinking this was going to be the worst weekend of my life. Fun, right, she and Melissa are excited. Tomorrow, we will play volleyball on the beach at 10, have a sailboat ride for 2 hours, and have dinner at seven. This is going to be a great weekend. Steve said I need another beer. Melissa and I are going to check out some shops and be back at 11 for our facial. Okay, have fun. Lynn tries to kiss him, but he turns real quick and pretends he dropped his phone and tried to catch it. Danny, I am telling you now I do not want to do any facial and yoga in public; that is not me, and you know that. We are the laughingstock of all the criminals, and they won't take us seriously. You're right, man, but I don't know how to get out of this. I am telling you that after this weekend, I will end it with Lynn. If it wasn't for this day or your constant nagging, I would have done it a long time ago. Steve you need date and not be a hermit. I don't need you or anyone finding me dates. I am not ready. Not ready, not ready, Danny ranted with his hand going wild when will you be ready when you are 60, and you found Catherine married with kids? His face turns to rage; you better walk away now, Danny, because I might punch you. This is my last warning, and I am fucking serious, do not let Catherine's name come out of your mouth again. Danny knew he went too far; I'm sorry, Steve, and I won't do it again. You better not, or you are going to get a punch. We need to get out of this facial and yoga crap. Can we get Chin to call and say he needs us to help him on a case for a couple of hours and make it last until dinner time? Yeah, let's do that. We say we have to do research and run down leads over the phone. We go to the hotel business center and use their computer.

-"I call Chin now. Hey Chin we need a favor. I thought you all were away on your V-Day trip. Something has come up, and we need you to call and say you need our help on a case for a couple of hours. Why? Don't ask why; will you do it for us? Ah, they planned something that you two wont no part in. Been there, and he laughed. I do it, when do you want me to call? In about an hour. They pretend to be ready for the facial, saying they can't wait, and Steve's phone rings. Hey Chin, what up? Chin wasn't really saying anything. Man, you know we are away on our V-Day trip. Are you sure it is only going to take a couple of hours? Okay, we do it, but I am warning you not to call us again and hang up. Chin was shaking his head on the other end. I am sorry we can't make a facial, and we will let you know about yoga. It is the governor's request, and they need our help. It should take long. How are you going to help from here? We go to the business center and use their computer and our phone to chase down the lead and any background. We text you if it runs longer. If it do, we have a nice dinner. I'm really sorry; he faking. I know it's not your fault, he kissed her on the forehead. I go get Melissa and see you later. Danny, come over; well, how do you feel, you liar? You are one too. You know you didn't want to do that stuff, and yeah you're right. Let's go to the business center and play solitaire or find something to do for two hours and that is what they did. They texted and said sorry, we are going to miss yoga too. They made it back to get dressed for dinner. Steve wanted to shower before Lynn got back and tried to join him. He was dressed in a nice blue suit. Well, you look handsome. How were facial and yoga? It was great; I am just sorry you guys missed the fun. Me too. I am going to change so at least we can have a nice dinner, and she throws him a big smile.

-"While she was getting dressed, his mind went back to Valentine with Catherine, where he surprised her at the hotel room with Valentine's candy. They had so much fun before they boarded the plane, on the plane, and the night he got stuck into her room when her bunkmate was working. He knew from day one that he loved her, not just for making love; he never called it sex because it was never that with them. Only with Lynn. She opened up to his heart, taught him how to love, and knew him better than himself. After coming back to get him to rescue his Mom, he knew he never move on her, and he needed to stop pretending with Lynn. Even if Catherine never came back, he was going to settle with Lynn. He felt like shit for treating her that way when she first met Lynn. He wanted her to be jealous and to think you did want me, but I found someone who did. It ripped his heart out again once she got on the plane, and he didn't want to let go. She would have said yes if only his dumb ass would have asked her instead of being angry and full of pride. It has gotten him nowhere. In time, he realized he took her for granted and treated her like a coworker instead of his woman. He was sure she never leave him. The four of them are eating dinner, and Steve has to go the bathroom or fake he does because he needs a break from Lynn trying to act like they are going to be together forever. Just as he stands, a gentleman walk over and punches him in the jaw. Danny stood up and heard the man say McGarrett, that for leading my baby on for years, sir, that's not what happened. Danny realized Steve knew this guy, and then Steve said she left me twice. I see it didn't take you long to move on. Lynn gets up to stand next to Steve; don't talk to him like that. He looks at Steve like he could rip him to pieces, all she sacrificed, and then he turns around and leaves. Steve, you okay ask Lynn. Yeah, I am fine.

-"Who is that? That is Admiral Patrick Rollins. He has no right to talk to you like that; his daughter is a bitch. Lynn, be quiet, and I am going to get some ice for my jaw. Danny was going to follow him, you stay Danny I am good. He walks to the other side of the restaurant where a bar is. He sees Catherin's dad drinking at a booth. Sir, can I sit? Yeah, McGarrett, sorry I let my temper get the best of me. You dated my daughter for over 17 years, yet you never ask her to marry her, and you replace her the minute she leaves. It just pissed me off. Sir, it is not what it looks like but before you left, you said something about sacrifice. I cant help but think there was more you want to say. Son, you need to go back to your date and friends. Apparently, you have moved on, so there is no need to talk about anything further. He gets up and leaves. Steve got some ice and went back to his table. I am sorry, guys, but my jaw might be broken, so I am going to head over to the Tripler emergency room to get it checked out. I am sorry about ruining dinner. I go with you Steve said Lynn. No, you stay and enjoy. Danny said you want me to go with you. No, Danny, you stay and enjoy your time with Melissa. I text you all when I am on my way back. He turns and leaves. Just as he was leaving, he saw the Admiral checking in. He waits for him to leave to go to his room. He goes over to the clerk and works his charm, asking for his room number. We are not supposed to give out guest room numbers. You know me, I am Commander McGarrett Five-0. Is this official business? You could say that. He is in the penthouse room 3199. He was happy it was nowhere near their room and had no chance of running into Lynn and Danny; the penthouse had a private elevator from the rest.

-"The admiral heard some knocking at his door. He thinks it is the room service he ordered. They really do give you the five-star treatment. He opened the door, and it was Steve. McGarrett, what are you doing here? SIR, I really need to talk to you. He could see Steve's eyes were sad. Come in. I want you to know I still love your daughter; yes, I was pissed she lied to me and left me. I was going to ask her to marry me finally. I know I took long to do it, and it is my fault. She is the best thing that happened to me so I need to do what you were going to say. Sit down, Steve; he sat on the sofa. Catherine made me promise not ever to tell you. She said you had to move on so she would not disturb your life; everything that happened was on her. Catherine never wanted to leave you; she was blackmailed to join the CIA.

-"What the hell? When she returned for the wedding, she was ready to be with you if you still wanted her. She stayed in Afghanistan because she was lost and felt she had no purpose. She was working at Five -0 said Steve. That was the problem. She felt like she was a team member and not your girl. She heard the whispering that she only got to the job because she was your girlfriend. She knew she was qualified, but the whisper was out there. When you almost died in Afghanistan, she felt it was best she let you go and stay there. She finally realized she was running with Najib and told her what she was doing. A teenage boy could see that, but you couldn't. Steve drops his head. I should have gone after her no matter the risk. Yes, you should have. Two days after she got back, the CIA sent two guys to escort her to the local office here. They showed him a video of you killing your mom's old boss. It was self-defense defense he yelled! She assumed that, but she did know about it; you never told her, and they told her they could make it seem like it was cold blood. They need her for a mission that she would be perfect at; they have been watching her for years. Her skills, different language, and ability to take care of herself. She had to sign a four-year contract, and then you and Five-0 would be free; if not, they put you on the back ops site and dismantled Five-0. She couldn't let that happen. I don't believe it. Those sons of bitches. She sacrificed her love for you and your friends to be free. She should have told me, but they told her not, or the deal was off. I only found out because I ran into her on a mission. I could tell she was sad, even though I heard she was doing a terrific job for the CIA. I told her this wouldn't stand. I been working in the background to get her out and close to doing it. That is why I am here to meet with the director of the CIA with the info I have. I have something that might help, also. What is it? I recorded the shooting, just in case, because I know how the CIA works. You did? If only I had told Catherine about it, she wouldn't have to join, and we would be together. I am so sorry, SIR. I was an idiot, and please let me help you. I will, Steve, if it means getting her out. Do you know where she is now? She said she was going to Langley for some downtime before her next mission. She lives in Virginia and has a small house there. Son, you can't go to her until we know she is free because she will not do it unless that is the case. Also, she thinks you are in love with someone else now.

AN; I had to delete and repost because I mixed up a chapter with another story. Thanks to the guest who let me know.
