Epilogue

Over the next few weeks, Steve and Danny had been moving all of Danny's things into their house. Steve bought a storage locker and put all of Mary's old bedroom furniture, and whatever stuff of Danny's would fit or work in the house, in it.

Its Danny's weekend with Grace and Steve wanted to take her furniture shopping and then shop for paint colors on her next visit. Danny pulled up outside of Grace's school on Friday afternoon and he and Steve got out of the car and leaned on the hood, waiting for Grace to appear.

Once the final bell rang, Grace came bounding out of the school and spotted the Camaro. She ran toward it and her smile grew even wider when she caught sight of Steve. She ran straight for him.

"Uncle Steve!" she jumped into his arms.

Steve smiled at her and braced for impact. He wrapped her up in a hug and kissed the top of her head.

"Hey kiddo. How was school?"

Grace pulled back from the hug to look Steve in the eye. "It was alright. One of the zoo keepers came in and showed us a bunch of animals. Can we go to the zoo sometime?"

Steve chuckled as he set her back down on the ground. "Sure, but you gotta ask your dad first."

Grace looked over at Danny. "Please Danno? It could be really fun!"

Danny seemed to contemplate it before looking at Steve, amusement on his face, and then looked down at Grace.

"Oh, I don't know Monkey. I think your Uncle Steve has something special planned for you."

Grace turned imploring, but excited eyes to Steve. "What is it? Is it a secret? Is it a surprise? Can you tell me?" she was practically bouncing on her toes in her excitement.

Steve pursed his lips and then looked at Danny. "I don't know Danno. Should we tell her?"

"Hm…I don't know. You think she's ready for it?"

Grace was getting impatient now. "Tell me what! Tell me what!"

Steve finally relented and decided to put Grace out of her misery.

"Okay, okay. You've twisted my arm. I am taking you furniture shopping."

Grace's face twisted into confusion. "Why?"

This time, Danny took over. "Because Monkey you'll need it for your new room at Uncle Steve's place."

Grace still had confusion written on her face until Danny knelt to her level. "Gracie, sweetie, I'm living with Uncle Steve now. Do you understand?"

Grace seemed to think on that for a few minutes before giving her answer. "Do you guys kiss, like you and mommy used to?"

Danny nodded. "Yeah, we do. Does that make you uncomfortable? Because you can tell us. We won't be mad."

Steve knelt next to Danny and nodded his head at her, telling her its okay. Grace looked between the two of them and noticed at how happy the both of them were. She looked at Danny seriously.

"Are you happy Danno?"

Her question took Danny by surprise but he smiled softly at her. "Yeah Monkey. I'm very happy."

She nodded and turned to Steve. "Are you happy Uncle Steve?"

"Yeah kiddo, I am."

Grace smiled at them both. "Okay. The both of you being happy makes me happy."

Danny's eyes glistened at his daughter's words and pulled her into a hug, Steve joining in after a few minutes. They all piled into the car and headed for the furniture store. When they arrived, Steve told Grace to pick out whatever she wanted. Grace squealed with delight and ran towards the children's section. Steve and Danny trailed behind, watching as Grace contemplated between and bunk bed/desk combo or just a regular bed.

Finally having decided on the bunk bed/desk combo and a dresser, Steve paid for it all and made sure to get same day delivery. At the last-minute, Steve decided to stop at the hardware store so Grace could pick out her paint color. With that out-of-the-way, Steve treated them all to dinner and shave ice at Kamekona's.

When they arrived home, they found the furniture guys waiting for them.

"Monkey, why don't you go inside and watch tv while Uncle Steve and I help with the furniture."

"Okay Danno."

With all the help, they were able to get all the furniture put together and arranged the way that Grace wanted it. Danny told her to get ready for bed and he'd be in to tuck her in in a few minutes. Both Danny and Steve said their good nights with a promise to a trip to the zoo tomorrow.

As they laid down in their own bed, exhausted from the days' events, Danny curled into Steve's side and rested his head on Steve's chest.

"Thank you. You didn't have to do that."

Steve kissed the top of Danny's head. "How many times do I have to tell you? I wanted to Danno. Now shut up about it and get some sleep."

Danny rolled his eyes before lifting his head and pressed a kiss to Steve's lips.

"Asshole. I love you Steve. Always remember that."

"I will Danno. Love you too." he wrapped his arms around Danny and settled into sleep, knowing he'll get to hold Danny like this for the rest of their lives.
