Last chapter! Was this story too short? I may have gone a little fast in places and for that, I apologize. I hope you've all enjoyed reading this as much as I've enjoyed writing it!

Steve stood in the airport, searching the crowd for Danny. He had missed him in the week he had been away. Danny had flown to New Jersey for Matt's funeral and Steve knew how hard that must've been. Burying loved ones was never easy. He hoped his friend was okay. Although Danny had mostly healed from the ordeal, Steve still worried about him. Maybe it was just residual fears after the all the near deaths Danny had scared them with recently. He spotted Danny walking through the crowd and he called his name and waved him over.

"Hey. I wasn't expecting you. We got a case or something?" Danny asked.

"What? I can't pick my partner up at the airport to save him the trouble of getting a cab? C'mon, I'll even let you drive the Camaro." Steve said with a smile. He saw how Danny's shoulders were slumped and how tired he seemed. Maybe driving his own car would help.

"Thanks, but I think I'll let you drive. I'm not even going to ask how you drove my car here when I have the keys." Danny returned Steve's smile and they walked out into the warm evening air. The car was silent.

"How was Jersey?" Steve asked.

"Good. It was nice to visit my old home and see everything. Mom and Pop were good." He was silent a beat, then continued. "So many people showed up for Matty's funeral. All of his old friends. They said they didn't care what he had done, he was still their friend. It was nice and everything he deserved…not that he deserved to go out like that."

"I'm sorry Danny. I really am. I know how it feels and I know it's hard, but if you need to talk, you have us. Me, Chin, Kono…we'll listen and we'll do whatever it takes to get you through this. You know that right?" Steve said seriously. Danny gave a smile.

"Thanks man." They pulled into Danny's parking lot and they both got out. Though they had originally started the night watching football, it ended with Danny taking Steve up on his offer. Danny talked. Steve listened. And for once, Steve could see the man behind the loud words and the big personality. They talked into the morning, each grateful for each other and the unusual family they had built.

Short chapter, I know. I hope you liked it! I will definitely write more stories cause I am just full of ideas. You've all been great!
