{Two Weeks later, McGarrett Household}

Catherine couldn't wait for this day to come, her parents were leaving, and to be honest she felt like they had started to boss her around again and it was annoying her. She had managed to escape to work at pearl a few times but it resulted in Steve being left with them. They also had a little Elliot to look after too. After Cath had told Ryan they would look after his son while he and Steph were away; Elliot was now under Cath and Steve's care, when Ryan's parents agreed. She had managed to convince her father to at least come to terms that the little angel would be a part of their lives.

"Hello" Jonathan walked up behind his daughter and Steve how leant across the barrier of the balcony. Steve let go of Cath's waist as she turned around to face him. He was holding 5 cards in envelopes addressed to; Steve, Cathy, Steph, Ryan and Elliot. He moved closer handing them over to her as she studied them closer. "It's just a wee note from me for the four of you and Elliot's birthday card for next Tuesday from your mother and I" Harriet appeared behind him as he spoke. Steve peered over Catherine's shoulder studying the writing. "But I don't want you to open them till Elliot's Birthday" He persisted. It was 6 days till then, and 6 days till Ryan and Steph returned to Hawaii.

"But dad, what's with the cards?" Cath questioned as she passed them to Steve. She walked towards her parents. "I mean can you not just tell us" He shook his head.

"It's all about the surprise darling."

{Honolulu Airport}

"Mom, I'll be fine honestly." Harriet held a tight grip around her daughter. She began to silently weep as her mother let go. "Bloody Hormones" she giggled.

"See I can't leave your side for two minutes" they both laughed. "If you want me to stay…"

"… Harriet, she is a big girl now! And she has Steven to look after her" He placed his hand on his shoulder giving the uncomfortable man a shake as he held tight on the push chair. He nodded smiling to Cath giving her some reassurance. Jonathan bent down to the push chair where Elliot sat grinning and giggling to his teddy. "Hey little man. See you soon." He looked at the little boy and smiled as Harriet replaced him, giving the boy a kiss on the head.

"His presents are on the table remember and the cards are there too." Harriet told her daughter making sure she didn't forget. She nodded as her father grabbed their suitcases indicating it was time to leave.

"Love you" Jonathan spoke as he had Caths arms wrapped around him.

"Love you too, Bye" Cath waved as her parents left towards the departures.

{Elliot's Birthday, McGarrett's House}

Stephanie sat on the couch with Elliot balancing on her knees as Ryan passed her each of the little boy's presents. Cath prepared the little 1 year olds birthday card, filled with light blues and greens. Steve called her through as Elliot opened her parents present.

"Dumpster Truck" Stephanie whispered to the little boy.

Steve passed around the cards to everyone as they began opening them.

Stephs Card

"Hello Darling, I am sorry for everything! I am sorry for being pushy, angry, scary, and too full on with Taekwondo. I know you are happy with Ryan and Elliot. I heard Ryan asking if you wanted to be Elliot's Parental Guardian (MOM) Go for it darling. Both of the boys love you so much! No scientist is needed to see that. I know you will do brilliantly! LOVE YOU LOTS xxxxxxxx"

Stephanie held Elliot close to her chest as she realised her father knew what he was doing. He had been preparing her for this moment when he finally confessed his wrong doings; however it made them both a better person.

Ryan's Card

"To be honest with you Ryan you wouldn't be the first choice of men for my girl, but you make her happy. The happiest I have seen her in ages. I want you to continue making her happy and little Elliot too. He reminds Harriet of Ellie so much! I must confess I overheard your conversion to start a new family life in Hawaii, go for it! Don't let me and Harriet get in your way with our views. I know Stephanie has been there for you for the past few years and has come to love and care for you… Let her do that forever and for you to continue too."

Ryan looked up to see Steph and Elliot playing with his new dumpster truck from her Parents. He held it up showing it to his dad.

"From Granny and Granda" Ryan commented as Stephanie grinned nodding.

"Granny and Granda Rollins"

Stevens Card

"Congratulations! Just one thing I really need to say to you is… Get a new job! Seriously! I don't want you running around getting yourself blown up, breaking ribs and jaws again! You need to take care of my Girl and the little baby when it comes. If I had my say to be honest, you wouldn't have gotten my girl pregnant till you changed your job, but hey ho can't have everything. You are a really nice guy and I want you to take care of my girl!"

Steve stood up and moved outside to the lanai where he waited for Catherine to finish.

Caths Card

"Congratulations Darling! I mean that from the bottom of my Heart. You couldn't have met a nicer guy, except the fact he is such a fucking idiot sometimes. You need to tell him to get a quieter job rather than running round getting shot all the time. No, seriously. I can't wait to see the little action hero… I know you have grown up, learned from the experience you once had, I know it has taken myself a long time. Please stay healthy and I am sure we will see you soon enough!"

Cath wiped her face as she reliased as was crying. She walked out to the Lanai and sat on steve's theighs.

"I love you"

{9th May, McGarrett Household}

A few months had passed, the kicking became more of a terror than anything else, she found it hard to sleep and her hormones were driving her and Steve insane. Ryan and Steph had moved into their new home, 5 minutes away from her sister. She had a month's leave to organise everything and too spend time with her newly adopted son, however Ryan still kept working. Cath pushed herself out of the deck chair. At 7 months pregnant she was quite big.

"Morning Babies" Steve appeared into the open air with a mug of coffee. He kissed Cath on the lips before gently placing his hand over the baby bump. He twirled himself around her gently cuddling them both from behind.

"Morning darling, you got in pretty late last night" Cath looked behind into his eyes.

"You know reports are piling up, actually ended up taking some home." he gently kissed her lips repeatedly before she broke free.

"You better get going then Commander, you got a Nursery too finish as well" She grinned as she disappeared off the balcony and a few minutes later appeared down by her sister and her nephew.

"Uncle Steve!" Grace came running towards the man at the speed of light.

"Woohh, watch Gracie" Steve held his coffee out to the side as she tumbled into him. "What you done with Danno?" Grace smiled as Danny slowly walked on the balcony with Gabby snuggling behind him.

"Hey!" Grace shouted from the ledge. She ran past Steve and back into the house before appearing into Stephanie's arm that also contained Elliot.

"Carefully Gracie!" Steve shouted as Gabby and Danny move closer to the balcony edge. "You two look like your dead!" Steve tried to look for any change in their expression.

"Feel a bit dead to be honest" Gabby opened up as she sat on Danno's knees.

"It was a good night, then" Steve looked at Danno, who seemed to be concentrating on Graces actions. "Danny!"

"Yea, was thanks" he was a hundred miles away. Steve could have said he had crashed his beautiful car and Danny wouldn't oh been too bothered. He gave up all attempts to speak to him and turned his attention to Gabby.

"So what you do last night then?" Steve asked Gabby as he faced the couple who shared a small white deck chair.

"Just went out for dinner, went back home and sat and had a quiet night in." Steve looked confused. It had looked like they had been at night clubs all night, not sitting in watching TV. "We opened a bottle in the cupboard and shared it, no idea what it was but..."

"... I feel bloody broken, and then Rachel comes round to drop Grace off... At 8 this morning." Danny's became a part of the conversion again, even though he still faced his daughter playing on the beach with Stephanie and Cath.

"Sounds like you both need a coffee?" Danno's head nodded furiously.

"Please" they both sighed. Steve disappeared and reappeared with two mugs of coffee and three cups of peach and passion fruit juice - Graces favourite and one of Cath's everlasting cravings - he placed them down on the little table and handed the coffee to Danny and Gabby.

"There you go" Steve smiled as their faces perked up at the first sip. He leaned over the balcony and sipped at his own. "Got some juice up here if you need?" Grace began running into the house and McGarrett stood ready at the door to catch her from slamming into some hot coffee. He was right to catch her at the speed she was going. "Calm down girl, Go get a drink to cool you down."

"Hey, darling" Cath snuck up behind Steve and tickled just above his trousers.

"Hey, baby" he turned around and pecked her lips "there you go." he handed her the glass of juice along with another kiss.

"Thank you" They were interrupted by a little Elliot holding tight on Steve's jeans. He bent down and lifted the little boy who had been wandering around in cute red chinos and a black polo shirt.

"Hello" Cath waited with pecked lips as a brunette Elliot kissed her with a big grin. "Getting a big boy now aren't we"

"Elliot?... El" Stephanie's cries could be heard from inside as she looked for the little devil. She appeared outside pleased to see him in Steve's arms.

"Go see Mommy" Steve placed the little boy on the floor as he ran into his moms arms.

"Hey, who's on the phone?" Holding the phone to the boy's ear he began to giggle hearing his father's voice.

"Ryan's home in a few days" Stephanie smiled as she sat down at the other side of the balcony with Elliot balanced in her arms.

"How you feeling, Cath?" Gabby questioned.

"Can't wait, Need the time to somehow go faster really. 9 weeks to go. Little bits and bobs, got to get your opinion on something though" she stood up and held out for her hand for Gabby as they disappeared inside the house with Grace lurking behind them. Steve sat down beside Danny as they watched the sky without a sight of clouds.

"Are you getting nervous yet?" Danny asked like he always did. There was a silence as Steve smiled to himself.

"Not thought about what's really going to happen to be honest with you" Steve began to think if he had really thought about it, the little screams and the terror the little baby would soon enough turn into.

"But your reacting too it" Danny commented.

"Huh? Reacting?" Steve sat confused.

"You're going soft McGarrett! You got me a coffee, you let your guard down when you were speaking to Cath and we were only 2 meters away, now man that's what you call going soft!" Danny finished his rant with a big sip of coffee. He was expecting Steve to turn round and for them to have one of them little bitty arguments.

"Wouldn't call it soft, just showing my affection for my girl and our baby." Steve waited for Danny's little sarcastic 'ha ha'.

"Yeah, suppose that does happen" both men stopped quiet, both amazed at how each didn't start a ludicrous argument. Grace skipped back into the men's sight with a big grin and jump onto Danny's knees.

"Steve?" Grace questioned the smiling man as Danny suffered the impact of her jump onto his knees. "Can I name the baby when it comes?"

"Depends what ideas you have. Tell you what" Steve walked into his father's study and picked up a pen and a piece of paper. "There you go, sit over there with the table and write some names down" he pointed over to the quiet table as she ran over and immediately started to write.

"You are seriously going to use them?" Steve nodded.

"If there's some good ones" Danny laughed at his reply.

R and R Thanks :)
