*Author's Note: This starts my series!!!!*
 
"You don't want to kill me, Do you, Brother ?", Wo Fat said with a smirk, as he
raised his gun, & at the same time  Commander Steve McGarrett raised his.
 
"NOOOOO !!!!", Steve screamed, as they both fired,A blast of white light hits
them both, & suddenly there was darkness.
 
Steve sat up, & he was drenched in sweat, unaware that he woke up his partner,
& lover, Detective Danny "Danno" Williams, who had some concern written on his
face, "Babe ?", he asked, & was rewarded with Steve wrapping himself around the
blond. Danny just shushed him with soothing words, & ran his fingers through
his short dark hair.
 
"I am ready to wallow now", Steve said tearfully, & the blond said, "Oh, My
Strong Handsome Man, Danno's here, Danno's got you", he put in call to Steve's
favorite pizza place near their home. "Hey, Nick, It's Danny, I need a pizza
with everything, I mean everything, Thanks a bunch", He hangs up the phone, &
continues to comfort his lover some more.
 
He made a plan to get the ohana toegther, cause it was the best cure for
everything, He knew how much family means to the Five-O Commander, so he plans
on doing it that night, He plans to salvage the evening, by just being there
for his lover, & eating the worst & disguisting pizza in the world, Pineapple &
Ham Pizza.
***** Chapter One: Part Two: *****
Once the couple got up, they headed for the bathroom, where Steve practically
begs his lover to take him right then & there, The Blond knew that something
must had happened while the seal was held captive, but he won't push his luck
for now, & he can't complain, cause now everytime that they made love, They are
reconnecting as a couple, & it suits Danny just fine, if Steve just wants to do
it slow.
 
The Team recieved a call saying that Steve is not doing so good, Danny
explains, & he thought of a special project for them to do, to show that Steve
is not alone, & he has a family that cares for him so much, They are gonna
bring over all of the pictures that they have of the Five-O Commander, & they
are gonna build an album for him.  Officer Kono Kalakaua said to her boyfriend,
Adam Noshimuri, "I hope he can get through this, Adam, I owe the man so much,
For believing in Chin, & giving me a career, Just being there whenever we need
him", Adam took her hand & kissed the back of it, saying, "He will be just
fine, We will make sure of it, Right, Sweetheart ?", The Ex-Surfer nodded, &
smiled at him, as they made their way to the McGarrett/Williams Household.
 
Lieutenant Chin-Ho Kelly was thinking about all of the stuff that they had been
through in the past five years, Steve was there for him, when he told the seal,
that he did not steal the money from the locker. Also, He was there to get him
through Malia's death. He was glad to be the connection to his deceased father,
& always telling him stories about him."I promise, John, I will make sure that
your boy will always be okay, & he has us to watch his back, I also promise
that I will protect him", he thought to himself, as he was talking to his
former partner, & friend. He was brought back to the present, as he focused on
getting to his desired destination.
 
Captain Lou & Renee Grover were also thinking about Steve, & how they can help
too, cause of him, Lou has a second chance of being a cop, & that they can
never repay. The Good Doctor saw that her husband was worried, & she said, as
she placed a hand on top of his, "It's gonna be okay, Honey, It will be just
fine", Lou smiled, & said, "You better believe it", & they focused on what they
can do to help Danny, so the burden could be lifted, They are ohana, & ohana
helps each other out, no matter what the cost is, or how high a price that they
have to pay to accomplished it.
 
Danny was watching his lover finally have some peaceful sleep, as he raked his
fingers through Steve's hair, The Seal sighed contently, as he settled in
further, & leaned in closer to him, "I love you, Super Seal, I love you so
much, I will make sure that you are safe with me, Always & forever", he
whispered vowing to him, He settled in for a nap, & hoping that they would be
refreshed, by the time their love ones get there with the food.
 
The Five-O Ohana got there with some of Kamekona's delcious food, he insisted
that everything is on the house, cause Five-O works so hard for the islands,
They thanked him, & when they got inside, they set everything up, & made sure
that it is perfect, They also hd their sleeping bags & air mattresses out,
cause they are gonna stay, & make sure that Steve knows that he would never be
alone, Chin had Kono knocked on the door, & said in low voice, "Danny ?, It's
Kono, We are here", & she waits for an answer.
 
Danny woke up, & smiled, when he heard Kono's voice, "I will be right there,
Rookie", He kissed Steve on the top of his head, & said, "I will be right back,
Baby", & he got dressed, & went out to visit with their ohana, After awhile,
Danny was so relaxed, He jumped, as did the others, hearing a frantic cry
of......
 
"Danno, Danno, DANNNNOOOO !!!!", Steve's panic voice shouted, as he came out of
the master bedroom, looking for his lover, Danny signals his friends to stand
down, & wait for him, as he went inside, to meet his lover halfway, His heart
broke, as he found his lover looking confused, & terrified, Danny vowed from
that point on, he will make sure that Wo Fat will always suffer in hell, & Eris
will lose her doctrine, He plans to visit UH, but his focus will be on Steve,
so he gave him his full attention, & asked, "Are you okay, Baby ?", concerned
was once again eteched on his face.
***** Chapter Two: Part Three: *****
Chapter Summary
     BONUS CHAPTER!!!!!
Steve took a couple of deep breaths to compose himself, & he smiled, which
relieved Danny big time, "I am fine, Danno, It was just that when I woke up, &
you weren't there, I thought....I thought Wo Fat.....", he couldn't finish his
thought, cause Danny had him a huge hug, & before he could work himself up in a
panic once again, Danny brought their foreheads together, touching. He said
this, as they were looking at each other in the eyes.



"I am not going anywhere, Super Seal, You are stuck me with me for life, Gracie
& I will_fightlike hell to keep you, Just like you would do the same for us, I
have a wonderful life here now, It's because of you, The others would tell you
the exact same thing, I love you, Commander Steven J. McGarrett, You are the
best thing in my life after Gracie, Never forget that", Steve got emotional, &
said, "I love you too, Danno, So much, & I would do anything to make you & that
little girl happy", Danny smiled, & said, "I know", He wiped his tears with his
thumb, & gave the Five-O Commander a change to once again to compose himself.



Suddenly, Steve's stomach growled, & the two men laughed, as a response, then
Steve shivered, & Danny noticed, "Are you cold, Baby ?", Steve nodded, Danny
grabbed his favorite light blanket off of the couch, & wrapped it around his
lover, "Here you go, Love", "I could get used to you fussing over me", Steve
said with a smile, "Get use to it, Cause when I fuss over someone that I love,
I don't hold back, Now, Let's get you fed", They headed out to the lanai, where
the others were waiting & smiling, greeting Steve, as he & Danny sat the heads
of the table.



"Boss, I hope you are hungry, Kamekona had loaded up on your favorite meal, He
doesn't like that you are skinny", "Tell him thanks, but I am not that skinny,
& I am starved", The Seal said with a smile, as he leaned in, & kissed Kono on
the cheek.  "Good, We brought everything, & I was wondering if you will like to
help me give Lou a further spearfishing experience ?", Lou said adding softly
with a smile, "Chin told me about a special spot that your old man took you
both to", Steve smiled, & said, "I would love to show you, Lou", Renee said,
"Steve, Just make sure you relax, & have fun, No stressing out, & don't exhaust
yourself," The Seal said with a wink, "I promise, Renee, I will begood", That
relieved her & Danny, Everyone was enjoying their time together. Steve felt
lucky that he has this ohana, but sometimes thinks that he doesn't deserve it.



After dessert, Steve lets out a yawn, & apologizes to his love ones, "I am so
sorry, Guys, I guess I am still tired", Adam said with a dismissive hand,
"Nothing to apologize for, You need the rest, You had been through a hellish
experience", Everyone chimed in, & agreed with Adam, "Now, It's time for all
good little seals to go to bed, say "Goodnight, Steven", "Goodnight, Steven",
The Seal said, & everyone laughed, as they began to clean up, while Danny puts
his lover to bed.



Once Steve was settled in again for the night, Danny stayed with him for a
couple of minutes, & said whispering, "I will be back soon, Babe", He grabbed
his own box of pictures, & headed out to meet everyone at the table in the
kitchen, where they began their project, Danny made sure that there was enough
space for Grace to add her own pictures in the album.



"Looking good, Guys", Danny said with approval, as he starting to dug out his
pictures, & they all wrote dates, & captions on them, Chin said with a chuckle,
"Remember this one ?", he showed the pictures to his love ones, "Hahaha, How
could I forget that one ?", Danny asked with a chuckle, "It was a special day",
Lou said, "It sure was", Danny said in agreement, That was the day, Grace
started to call Steve "Daddy", "Don't leave us in suspense, Tell us", Adam
said, "Yeah, Share with us", Renee said encouraging, "Okay, It went like this",
Kono said beginning the story with that, as she thought back to that special
day.



<Flashback>



It was the Sacred Hearts Carnival, Everyone was so excited about it, Even Grace
was, She got to do her favorite rides with her ohana, & games, plus pigging out
on junk food, They were almost done, when Grace wanted to try a shooting range
game.



They got to the booth, Steve paid the guy the amount that was required, Grace
got to the booth, & took her two shots, First was a miss, & the second hit the
target dead center, The Clerk was a sleaze, & said with a fake smile, "Better
luck next time, Little Sistah", Grace looked like she was about to cry, & Steve
was not about to have it, He said to the jerk, "You rigged it, I know it, She
won fair & square", He checked the gun, & he was right, There was not enough
pressure, so he fixed it, despite the clerk's protest, & paid the clerk once
again, & he took his two shots. The Five-O Ohana stood & watched in amusement.



Lou lets out a happy howl, & Chin said witha smile on his face, "Never mess
with a Navy Seal or his ohana", Kono said with a bigger smile, "You willlose",
Danny said with a smirk, "I believe he won a prize, so give it to him", The
Clerk grumbled, & asked, "Which one do you want, Sir ?", Steve asked the little
girl, "Which one do you want, Gracie ?", "Bear please, Daddy", She got her
prize, & they left having the best time of their lives.



"Thanks for the bear, Daddy", Grace said adoringly looking up at him, Everyone
was choked up with emotion, as Steve said with a watery smile, when she called
him that for the second time. "Anything for you, Princess Gracie, You are
welcome", They held hands, as the others followed him out of the school, The
Ohana always feel love, & show it too in return, along with happiness.



<End of Flashback>



Danny said with a smile, "His heart grew even bigger than I thought possible,
It was the best day of their lives, & me too", He looked at his watch, & said,
"Oh, Shit, We got to hussle, If we want to get this done in time, & present to
Steve", They managed to find all of the pictures that they wanted to add, clean
up, & hit the bed, Danny got into bed, Steve instinctively snuggles in closer,
Danny smiled, as a response, He drops a kiss to his head, & said whispering, "I
love you, Baby", & joins his lover in a peaceful slumber.


***** Chapter Three: Part Four: *****
Steve woke up & felt a little bit better, But he doesn't want to jinx it, he
snuggled up to Danny, who lets out a content sigh in his sleep, & settled back
down, "I love you so much, Danny Williams", The Seal whispered into his lover's
ear with a smile, & went off to make a nice breakfast for everyone, as a way to
say "Thank you", He made sure that he was very sneaky, & not disturb anyone.




After awhile, Danny woke up to a wonderful smell of breakfast, & he smiled,
cause he was glad to see his super seal back to full strength, he sleepily
entered the kitchen, bypassing the living room, making sure not to disturb any
of their love one's sleep, He said with a smile, "Good morning, Super Seal", as
he hugged him from behind, & watched him create a masterpiece breakfast. Steve
said, "Morning, Danno", & handed him a cup of coffee to help wake him up, "Just
the way you like it", Danny nodded gratefully, as he took a sip, & watch his
man work in complete silence.



They worked together to get everyone up, & it became a lavish affair, & they
sat down around the huge table in the kitchen, & talked about everything, &
anything. Steve was grateful for them & their understanding, He said, "I would
like to treat everyone to pool tonight, How about it ?", Everyone agreed, &
there was laughter & fun around the house, that hasn't been there in over a
month. Adam said to Danny, as they were washing, & drying the dishes, "I think
Steve feels a little bit guilty of his meltdown, I think we should keep a sharp
eye on him", Danny shook his head in agreement, "I was thinking of the exact
same thing, Bud", Then they joined everyone in the fun of the morning, Steve
was excited, cause he gets to see Samantha, & Grace, who were worried about him
so much.



Stan & Rachel were bringing the girls over, & Stan said, "I hope he is feeling
better today," Rachel said with a smile, touched by his concern, "I think he
is, I think that he, Danny, & Charlie should do something, since the girls get
to see him today, & he had to miss out, cause of the playdate. "I totally
agree", Stan said with a bigger smile, & smiled at Grace, & Samantha, who
smiled back, as a response.



When they came to the McGarrett/Williams Household, The Girls kissed Rachel &
Stan "goodbye", & the Edwards reminded them to tell Danny & Steve about their
offer of dinner next week, They promised that they will, & hurried off into the
backyard, to join in the fun & the games, that their ohana had planned, Stan &
Rachel will be back to pick Grace up, & the Grovers begged off of pool, cause
they have to pick up their son from his friend's house, & they were gonna have
family night together.



Danny & Steve accepted Rachel & Stan's invitation without hesitation, & they
got the girls ready for Steve to teach them more about water safety in the
ocean, Everyone was having a great time, & it was a pleasant time for once,
without anything to interrupt it, or ruin it for the Five-O Ohana, They are
gonna go with the flow, & not worry about anything else, but what is in the
present, instead of the future.




Stan picked up Grace on time, as usual, & Steve & everyone went to get ready
for their outing, Danny took Steve's hand into his, & kissed it, "I love you so
much, Super Seal, Remember that no matter what", Steve smiled a goofy smile, &
said, "Right back at ya, Danno", They were content, & just enjoyed the scenery
in front of them, as they were making their way to the pool, so they can beat
everyone else there.




Dinner was great there, & music was blasting like usual, Everyone was enjoying
the game, Steve excused himself, cause he had to use the bathroom, So the seal
went towards where the Men's was, & went inside, not knowing that his night
will be ruined, & he couldn't escape Wo Fat once again.



Steve was washing his hands & dried them, He looked up, & gasped, He saw Wo Fat
with a knife to Chin's throat, & he said this with a evil smile, that chilled
Steve's heart to the core. He made a quick a motion, & laughed, as he threw the
knife to the side.



"Say goodbye to the last connection to your beloved father, McGarrett, See you
soon in hell", His spirit disappeared, & Steve screamed, "NOOOOO !!!!!!", &
backed away, as he watched his friend took his last breath, & remained
motionless, Danny heard the shout, as everyone else did.



"Kono, Keep the crowd under control, Chin, You & Adam come with me, I think I
will need back up for this", They headed towards the bathroom, where they were
in shock, to find their love one in the condition that he was in.
***** Chapter Four: Part Five: *****
Chapter Summary
     ANOTHER CHAPTER, I WAS FEELING GENEROUS!!!!!
"Steve, Babe, Are you okay ?, Speak to me", Danny said encouragingly, as he
slowly approaches his lover without startling him, He never saw his lover be
this out of sorts before, He vowed to kill Wo Fat, if he was alive again, &
make him pay for all of the suffering that Steve had to go through.
 
 
"Dannnn....Danno.....He was here, Wo Fat, Wo Fat was here, He killed Chin in
front of me, & said that I should say "goodbye" to my last connection to my
father", he stuttered, as he sobbed out the pain, that he had to relive all
over again. It was not fair, He could never get a break, & he was cursed, til
the day he dies. Adam said gently, as he put a hand on his shoulder, "He is not
dead, Steve, McGarrett, He is here, & is all right, I would never lie to you",
Steve looked over Danny's shoulder, & gasped, when indeed he sees Chin alive, &
looking well.
 
 
"Chin ?", he asked hoarsely & Chin nodded, & said with emotion, "It's okay,
Bruddah, I am well, & alive, Wo Fat can not get me, You killed him, Remember
?", He nodded, & then he remembered what he saw, & shouted out this to the
three men, who gasped in surprise again by his outburst, "No, This is a trick,
I am dreaming it, I am dreaming it, I am not going insane, I am not crazy !",
Suddenly, Dr. Miller, Steve's Doctor, came through the door, & he told the men
let him examine the seal, & paramedics came right behind him, ready for action.
 
 
"I think this a surprise side effect from the gas, I think whenever he is on
his guard, & feels stressed, That is what triggers it", Danny said exploding,
exclaiming, "How the hell was that missed ? !", Chin said equally angrily, "You
guys were suppose to catch these things, but you guys can not get off your
asses, & now because of you, Our friend is suffering, reliving a nightmare",
Adam said growling, "Do something", & Dr. Miller nodded to the paramedics, who
were preparing Steve for the trip to Tripler.
 
 
"No, Please no restraints, Please, Help me, Danno !!!!", he exclaimed, feeling
terrified, & struggling against the strong grips of the paramedics, who finally
has him strapped completely on to the board, "Danno, Please, please don't leave
me", Steve begged with emotion, & that completely breaks Danny, who lets out a
stream of tears, while being comforted by Adam & Chin, as they were departing
the restroom, with the crowd looking on.
 
 
Kono said in a strangled voice, "Danny, It's gonna be okay, We have to believe
it, Okay ?, He is a fighter, He will fight his way back to us, Never give up
hope", & they all hurried out, & followed the ambulance on the way, When they
got to the hospital, They were directed to a waiting room, that was private, &
praying for improvement on Steve's condition, so that he can beat whatever has
them down, & go home with his ohana, & live his life once again. They called
Lou, & Renee, who left their kids with a babysitter, so that they can be with
them, & also wait with them too.
 
 
Dr. Miller came out after awhile, He explained to them, "Despite the obvious,
Steve is also suffering from Swimmer's Cough, It's another way of saying
Secondary Drowning, or Decompressed Lungs, After swimming so far, breaking the
barrier's limits, or recieving water forcefully, We got him in a chamber, where
he is getting his treatment, & it's being controlled by our techs, I set up
some beds around the room, so you can see him if you like", They all thanked
him, & headed for the room.
 
 
They all got into the room, & showed their emotions when they saw that Steve
was asleep, & was stripped down to a pair of trunks, that are comfortable to
wear. They all took up to their beds, & they fell asleep in no time, except
Danny, who forcefully said hoarsely, "Please don't leave me, Love, Please
don't, I could not take it, if you, You are what makes this place great, Come
back to me", He composed himself, & took first watch.
***** Chapter Five: Part Six: *****
Everyone was at the chamber night & day, taking breaks in between, except for
Danny, He was determined to stay by his lover's side, til he wakes up, & he
would be damned if he misses that, He was losing weight slowly, & not eating
well. He doesn't care about that, He will take better care of himself once
Steve wakes up, & the nightmare is over. The Blond just wants his super seal
back, once whenever no one is looking, He lets his emotions go, once he was
done being strong for his ohana.



Kono was busy making sure that the girls were on their routine, whenever Renee
is working, she drops them off at their schools, & makes sure that they get
extra hugs from them, "Please tell daddy that we want him to feel better",
Grace said, Samantha said with a nod, "Yeah, He promised to teach us some self
defense, & tell him that we love him so much", The Ex-Surfer choked on her
emotion, & kissed them on the cheek, "I promise, I will", she vowed, & they all
went on their ways to start their day.



Joe White heard from Montana, & he caught the first flight out, & headed for
the HQ, he was not surprised to find Chin there, & he asked getting right down
to business, "How is my boy doing ?", Chin said with a negative nod, "Not so
good, Joe", & filled him in on what happened, The Former Commander nodded, as
he listened intently, "This Eris person, I think I came across her during my
days in Intelligence, I will put feelers out, & contact a buddy of mine, to get
info, & double check, This bitch is deadly, especially to her male victims, I
am not gonna leave a stone unturned, Especially when it comes to Steve", The
Hawaiian Lieutenant smiled gratefully, & said, "Thanks, Joe", & they went right
into work.



Dr. Miller did not have good news, as he updated Danny on the Five-
O Commander's condition, He said firmly, "Do not give up hope, I am not, He is
a hell of fighter, He willcome out of this, Trust me", He handed him a headset,
& said, "You can talk to him through this, It might just help", The Former New
Jersey Native thanked him, & the doctor left for his rounds, "You are the best
thing that ever happened to me, Besides Gracie, Come back to me, Babe, I will
be waiting", He said, as he looked at his lover's sleeping form inside the
chamber & laid on his cot, besides the chamber, & took a long nap, til Kono &
Renee comes in with lunch.



Lou picked up the slack, & mining the phones, while he helps Chin, & Joe at the
smart table, & he made sure that lunch was nourishing, & filling, since they
are gonna be on their feet all day, & night. "I think the best bet is to check
the archives at the Hall Of Records, & go back about 5 months", Chin & Joe
expressed that it was a great idea, & they left to go to Kamekona's, who was on
standby, along with Flippa, in case that they need anything, or if Steve needs
anything, They are lucky to be close, like they were.



"How is the boss man ?", The Shrimp Owner asked, as he was concerned, his
cousin was just equally concerned, "Tell him anything, Anything, We will be
there", Chin said with a smile, "You guys are great friends", Joe nodded, &
said, "We will let him & Danny know", Lou said with a smile, "Do you us a favor
?, Keep us in the loop, If the name "Eris" comes up ?", "Will do, My Bruddahs
?", "On the house", Flippa said, as he served them their lunches, & they took a
break, & visited with their friends. Before Lou knew it, It was time to pick up
the girls from school.



Kono said with a pleading tone, "Come on, Danny, I will watch him, I swear it,
I will let you know as soon as he opens his eyes," she had been trying to
convince him to go to the video arcade & have fun with Lou & Samantha. Danny
said, "But....", he was cut off by his love one, as he looked at the sleeping
seal guiltily, "It will be okay, Danno, Just for a couple of hours, Go & have
fun", she shooed him away, & he nodded, & called Grover to cement the plans for
the arcade.
***** Chapter Six: Part Seven: *****
Danny managed to get some rest, after the fun at the arcade, but it was enough
to focus on Steve, & his recovery, He woke fast from his sleep, & realized that
it was a nightmare, He looked inside the chamber, & smiled, cause his lover was
sleeping so peacefully, & for once there was no nightmares. "Sleep peacefully,
My Love, sleep peacefully", The Blond thought to himself, as he went out to
stretch his legs, & got some coffee.



Mary-Ann McGarrett came rushing into HQ, after dropping Joan off at the house,
so Kono can watch her along with Grace, & Samantha, "How is my brother ?,
Please don't bullshit me, I ain't in no mood for it", The Fiesty Blond said, as
she looked at Chin, & Lou, "It's bad, But not too bad", The Hawaiian Lieutenant
said with a sigh, The Former SWAT Commander concurred with what Chin said, with
a nod, adding, "They got him stablized, & he is resting comfortably as he
could", Mary was glad to hear that part, "I need to be with him, & Danny,
Please, Can both of you take me ?", Lou nodded, & Chin said, "Come on, Then we
can come back to this stuff later", & they headed for the hospital.



Meanwhile, Renee dropped off the girls, & told Kono to let her know if there is
anything else that she could do, once the ex-surfer had the children set up for
the time being, & Joan is taking her nap. Grace asked with concern, "Auntie
Kono ?, WIll Daddy be able to come home to us ?", Samantha said, "Yeah, We miss
him terribly", Kono hugged her nieces, & said, "I know, My Babies, He misses
you too, Yes, In no time at all, He should be able to come back to us", That
satisfied the girls, & they had junk food, & sat down, & watched their favorite
movies.




The ride to the hospital was a long one, Mary promised herself that she will be
the best sister possible, & make sure that Danny & Steve are both taken care
of, while they are recovering from this ordeal. Danny hugged his sister-in-law,
& said, "It's so good to see you, Mare, I know Steve will be glad to see you,
He led her into the room, & then stopped to look at his love ones, "Let us know
if you want a break, We will be back in a flash", Chin said, as he hugged his
friend, & family member. Lou added, "Don't hesitate to call us", Danny said,
"Thanks, Guys", & they went back to HQ, so they can finish up their work, &
have some free time for Steve.



Kono managed to get Samantha & Grace down for a nap, & she was amazed that they
were trying to fight going to sleep, once they were comfortable, she cleaned up
a bit, & had some time for herself, she took the baby monitor with her, & sat
down on one of the beach chairs, by the edge of the ocean, & relaxed for a bit,
"Please, God, Make Steve better, & also make sure that Danny takes care of
himself, They are each other's worlds", she silently prayed, as she thought to
herself, & enjoyed the rest of the afternoon to herself.



Denning came down, as soon as he heard about what happened to Steve, & he told
Lou & Chin, "Paperwork can wait, HPD will piggyback you, Making sure that
everything that needs to get done is done, Go & be with your ohana", & the two
men thanked their boss, gathered up their things, & hurried back to the
hospital, & taking the scenic route on the way, as they are trying to destress
from the long day.



Danny & Mary were talking among themselves, as they were watching Steve
continue sleeping, "He has a way to make you fall in love with him, & feel so
important to him, It's a gift, Which I never took for granted," he said with a
smile, "I know, Danno, You do the same thing, I am so grateful that you came
into our lives, Steve will not give up on you, or your love, He will come back
to us", Mary said confidently, as she held his hand. Suddenly an alarm was
going off, & they were pushed away, as staff & Dr. Miller were surrounding the
chamber, Hallie, a nurse directed them outside, as they watched, feeling
scared, & confused.
***** Chapter Seven: Part Eight: *****
Catherine got in touch with Joe, as soon as she landed, she went over to where
Steve was being held for a day & half, she gasped, as she saw the room in the
condition that was left in, & couldn't believe that her friend was suffering
like that, & knowing that there was nowhere to escape & run to, so he can get
himself some help, she let out her emotion out, as she was thinking about all
the hell that Steve had been put through.


"Catherine ?, It's okay, Catherine, It's okay", Joe said, as he comforted her,
& said, "He is all right, or will be, He has 24 hour around the clock
protection, & I think Mary is there now, I mean they will not leave him alone
anytime soon, I am glad that you're here, Maybe you can tell me something about
these drugs, I am sure as hell couldn't figure it out, & neither my contacts",
The Former Naval Intelligence Beauty nodded, & composed herself, as she
explained in detail what the drugs are, & what they do, & the side effects.



Meanwhile, Lou was trying to put on a brave face, & his kids knew that he was
acting, & it had to do with their uncle, & Samantha took her brother outside to
play, after they finished up cleaning up the dinner table, & doing their
chores. "Babe, What is it ? What's wrong ?", Renee asked her husband, as she
went to comfort him, "I am just so worried about Steve, & Danny, If McGarrett
dies, It would crash Danny's world", Renee said soothingly, "That will_not
happen, I mean we owe a lot to that man", Lou smiled, & said, "Yeah, We do", &
they just hugged & relish in each other's embrace for awhile.



"These would make anyone immoblized, & I think double of this amount made Steve
really lose his mind, & think of this world as the present, instead of the
past", Catherine said, after she told Joe about the drugs, & what they are for,
Joe dreaded asking this question, "Can it kill him ?", The Former Seal
Commander asked with concern, "Yes, If it's not treated", Joe sighed in relief,
& nodded, saying, "Good, He is getting treatment as we speak", Catherine was
also relieved cause she can't lose a great friend like Steve, & she needs to be
there for Danny.



Danny & Mary saw from the door that the setting around the chamber was quiet,
but there was happy faces on the staff's faces, as they continued to work, &
they took that as good news, Dr. Miller came out & said with a smile, "False
Alarm, It looks like the Commander's condition took a turn for the better, & we
will be getting him out of the chamber in a few minutes, Give us an hour, & you
can spend all the time you want in his new room", He left to go back into the
room, Danny & Mary just hugged, & let out their emotions.



"Oh God, That is such great news !", Mary declared, as Danny nodded in
agreement, & they hugged once more, & then the blond said, "We got some calls
to make, It's time to celebrate", Mary said smiling, "Perfect idea, Brother", &
they got their cell phones out, & made the round to the ohana, & they were all
very happy about the news, Especially Stan & Rachel, who will be bringing
Charlie with them, along with Grace.



Everyone got there in record time, as they were directed to the waiting room,
this time with happiness, instead of dread, & they waited patiently for an
hour, & then Hallie came out, signaling them saying, "It's okay to come now", &
they all followed her in silence, & they went in, & got themselves settled, as
they waited for Steve to wake, Soon after, they got their wish, & were greeted
with the most beautiful eyes that they ever saw.
***** Chapter Eight: Part Nine: *****
"Hey, Baby, It's okay, We are all here, You don't have to be afraid of anything
or anyone else anymore", The Blond soothed his partner, as he took in Steve's
terrified expression on his face, & Dr. Miller saw this, & explained what was
going on at that moment, so the Five-O Ohana don't get worried about their love
one.



"It's just the effects of being in the chamber for so long, Just keep talking
to him & reassuring him, He will come back around, & everything will be back to
normal for him, I also suggest that he should get back to a normal routine, as
soon as possible". Chin spoke for everyone, who agrees with him, "Don't worry
about it, Doc, We will be on it", The Good Doctor left the ohana, so they can
have their privacy, & Kono said, "Good to have you back, Bossman", Steve smiled
at that, & said hoarsely, "Thanks", It brought tears to everyone.



"Steve, Whatever you need, Just say the word, It's yours", Adam said, "Don't
hesitate to call on us", Lou & Renee said in unison, "You can count on me for
anything, Big Brother", Mary-Ann chimed in, Leilan & Catherine said in unison,
"Me too", Danny said whispering, "I am not leaving you out of my sight for a
long time, Steven", Everyone chuckled at that, Then Steve looked at Chin, &
held out a hand to him, & the Hawaiian Native grasped it tightly.



"I am so glad that you are okay, Brah, You are okay, Aren't you, Chin ?", Steve
asked with concern on his face, The Lieutenant smiled, & said, "I am, But we
need to focus on you getting some rest", The Seal said, "I love you, Chin, You
are the last connection to my dad, I would walk fire for you", Everyone got a
little emotional, & Chin said, "Right back at ya, Boss", Danny said urging, as
he saw that Steve was trying to fight sleep, "Go to sleep, Babe, We will be
here", The Five-O Commander finally surrendered to sleep.



<The Dream>:



Steve got home to Hawaii, as fast he could, He found that his father was taken
hostage by Wo Fat, who had a gun to his temple, & was not hesitating to shoot
him, "Finally, We have our showdown, Steven", he said egging him on, as they
stalked each other like prey.



"I am gonna kick your ass", the Seal said, as he got into a stance, & so did Wo
Fat, they battled it out, & Wo Fat was losing ground, He decided to take a shot
at the elderly McGarrett, & missed, & then Steve managed to execute a perfect
shot to the chest, & the criminal fell backwards, & instantly died.



Steve got his father freed, & they hugged tightly, & they enjoyed their
reunion, John said with a smile, "You got to go now, Son", Steve was about to
protest, but his father stopped him, & said, "I would love it if you stayed
with me, But you got responsiblities, & an ohana to take care of", Steve knew
his old man was right, & nodded, & said, "I am ready", John pushed him back, &
sent him back to his happiness.


<End of Dream>





Danny & the others saw that Steve was resting a little bit more comfortably, so
they went to Kamekona's, & the cousins asked about him immediately, Danny spoke
for the group, & said, "He is doing much better", "Tell him free food for
life", Kamekona said, & Flippa added, "Tell him, If he needs a partner for
working out, I am there for him," The Ohana thanked them, & dugged into their
meals with gusto, & were feeling better in a week since the ordeal.



Steve knew that his ohana were being overprotective, He hates that he put them
in that position, so he decided that he would tough out the rest of his
recovery, & make sure that he doesn't show pain. He wants to be his old self, &
he can't do that if someone is hovering over him, He hates lying to them, but
he doesn't want to be forced into talking about his ordeal, if he doesn't have
to, It's his choice, & his ohana would have to respect that.

***** Chapter Nine: Part Ten: *****
Joe went to explore more about Eris, Steve was working on his recovery, & was
out of the hospital in no time flat, & he was still hiding his true feelings
from his ordeal, Everyone noticed it, & decided not to push, unless it was
necessary. They were worried about him, when they went on their usual night of
fun, as he went to the bar to get their drinks, & they were talking among
themselves, til he came back. Danny said to their loving ohana with worry &
concern etched on his face.



"I think something else really happened when Steve was kidnapped, trapped, &
tortured by that bastard Wo Fat", Danny said knowingly, Chin said agreeing,
"You aren't the only one that sense it, We do too", Adam said, "But we have to
be careful, or we will lose Steve forever, if we take the wrong approach with
him", Leilani said, "What do we do ?, How do we help him ?", Renee said with a
sigh, "The only thing we can do...is nothing", Kamekona said, "We got to be
there for him, like he was there for us", Flippa said, "Ohana doesn't give up
on each other", Mary said, "Damn straight", & Lou & Catherine said adding in
unison, "You got that right", Kono said with a smile, "I think we made a
wonderful decision", With that, they were silent, as Steve was making their way
back to them, with the tray of drinks.




They had a wonderful night of fun, & enjoyed their time together, as an ohana,
& a group of friends, Danny saw through the charade, & knew that his lover was
acting, He was gonna bring it up, but Steve took him with such urgency, & they
made love in the shower, & bed, til Danny's brain turned to mush. "I love you
so much, Danno, Never forget that", The Seal with emotion in his voice. Danny
kissed him softly on the lips, & said, "I love you too, Super Seal", & they
went to sleep in a peaceful slumber, dreaming nothing but sweet dreams.



There was a BBQ at the McGarrett/Williams House, & everyone was having a great
time, & enjoying what the day was bringing them, The Girls were doing side
dishes, while Chin, Adam, Danny, & Lou were hanging out around the grill.
Steve, Samantha, Joan, & Grace were in the water, teaching Joan how to swim, &
Steve let out a round of laughter, which was music to Danny's ears. "At least
it's something", The Blond said, The Other Men all agreed with their love one,
& all of them smiled, as Steve was enjoying being around his girls.



Stan & Rachel sent word from Maui, & a check to cover Steve's hospital costs,
They knew that he could cover it, but they want to do it, cause he is Grace's
other father, & they helped out Stan so many times. They wished well on his
recovery, & that he & Danny are welcome to dinner at their home at anytime for
dinner. Steve really blocked it out of his mind, "Thanks, Uncle Steve for a
wonderful day", Samantha said with a smile, "Yes, Thank you so much, Danny, It
had been fun", "Fank ouuuu, Unca teeve", Joan said with a toothful smile, Steve
said, "Awww, I am in Daddy/Uncle Heaven", as he led them up to have dinner with
their ohana.



"It's nothing, Danno, Drop it", Steve said urgng him to leave him alone, "I
can't leave it alone, Babe, Something is bothering you, I need to know what it
is", The Blond said pressing him further, & the Five-O Commander said warning
him one more time, "Leave it, Danno, Okay, I am starting to get pissed off,
Back off", Danny shook his head, & said, "No, You are lying, I want the truth,
What's the truth, damnit ? !", The Former New Jersery Native exclaimed, now
getting pissed off himself, "I WAS RAPED, I WAS FUCKING RAPED !!!!", The Seal
screamed out in frustration, & was letting his emotions out.



"What ?, Oh my god, I am so sorry, Baby, I am so sorry", Danny said in
disbelief, as he took his lover into his arms to comfort him, & "shushed" him,
as Steve was letting his tears & pain out.
"It was not your fault, It's not_yourfault"
, Danny chanted, Steve calmed down in his beloved Danno's arms, & took in his
scent, He felt safe, loved, protected, & not alone. "I thought you would think
I was dirty, weak, & useless", Steve said as he composed himself, "No, Baby,
You are never that to me", Danny kissed his face all over, & said, "Let's go to
bed", The Five-O Commander nodded, & they spent the rest of the night holding
each other, til they fell asleep.
***** Chapter Ten: Part Eleven: Last Part & Epilogue: *****
Steve was doing much better this time, since he told Danny what happened
through his ordeal, & he went through therapy to make sense of what's real &
fantasy. Danny could not be more prouder than he was at the moment, The Seal
invited him to come with him at a couple of sessions, With Danny's calmness, It
was so easy for him to talk about what happened, & not get judge for it.



When they were done, Danny said to him with a smile, "I am so proud of you, I
know it doesn't seem much, But you are making great progress, so much so, You
can return to Five-O next week". Steve smiled, & said, "Thanks, Danno, I
appreciate that you came with me, It seems so easy to talk when you are there,
& you make everything more comfortable", Danny smiled even bigger, & the blond
said, "Thank you for that, It feels great being appreciated", The Five-
O Commander said, "How about dinner ?, My Treat ?". Danny nodded, & said,
"Sure, Let's go", & they headed for their favorite spot.



The Ohana was speechless when Steve told them about what he went through with
Wo Fat, Kono said, "I will be there for you, Whenever or whatever you need,
Boss", Adam said, "Count me in, Steve, I will have my resources for you at
anytime", Chin said, "Don't forget about what ohana, Talk to us whenever things
get too tough", Lou said firmly, "We are your friends too",  Mary-Ann, Renee, &
Leilani said in unison, "We love you, Steve", Steve smiled, & said, "I love you
guys too", & they all shared a group hug, before they went out for their usual
night of fun, Steve knew that he would never be alone, as long as he has the
power of family & friends.



Dr. Miller & Hallie gave Steve his checkup, & they were impressed that he is
making such great progress, & he is following instructions, Hallie said with a
smile, "Sugar, You sound even better than ever", Dr. Miller agreed, & he said,
"You do, Keep taking it easy, & you will be back to work at the beginning of
the week, instead in the middle of". Steve nodded, & said, "Thanks a lot, Doc,
For everything", & he kissed Hallie on the cheek, & shook his hand, & hurried
home to Danny, so they can celebrate together.



Danny was taking it easy for a change, It was a nice pace to be at, Grace &
Charlie were at their mother's, & he was waiting for Steve to come home from
the doctor's, He had a feeling that everything will be okay, But he did not
want to jinx it, by saying anything, Steve came through the door, & shut it. He
went to the couch, & kissed Danny deeply & hungrily, Danny said with a smirk,
"I take we got something to celebrate ?", Steve said with a growl full of lust,
"Hell yeah", & he led him up to the bedroom, After rounds of lovemaking, Steve
said from his heart, & held out a box towards Danny opened, "Daniel Williams,
You make me the happiest man ever, Do me the honor of being my husband, Marry
me ?", Danny smiled, & said, "Absolutely, Super Seal, Absolutely yes", & they
shared a hot & steamy kiss, They made love more time, & they fell asleep
holding each other.



Mary-Ann, Kono, Leilani, Chin, Adam, Renee, & Lou were all thrilled for the
newly engaged couple, & they went out to celebrate their love, Steve never felt
this relaxed before, & he was so happy, that finally he can finally put all of
the Wo Fat drama to rest. He can focus on his ohana, & make sure that they stay
protected no matter what. Rachel & Stan took them out on their promised dinner,
& they celebrated the engagement once again, The Beautiful English Lady said
with a smile, "You look happy, & even better, Steve", Stan nodded, & agreed
with hsi wife, "You sure do, We were all worried", The Seal reassured them by
saying, "I am feeling so much better, Thank you for worrying, & celebrating
with Danny & me". They shared a toast, & they continued their evening of fun.



They had a BBQ at the house, & Everyone was either in the water or on shore
enjoying themselves, Steve lets out a chuckle when Grace dunks Danny under
water, & he started to think about his father, & knew that he would love to be
part of this. He suddenly saw his father, who winked at him, he could hear from
his spot, "Be happy, Son, I love you", Steve composed himself, after letting
out some emotion, & suddenly Danny said exclaiming, "Come on, Steve, We need
you out here !", as he was holding Joan, "Yeah, Unca Steeeve, Need", Grace &
Samantha said in unison, "Come on, Uncle Steve", Lou, Adam, Leilani, Renee, &
Kono all looked at him with an arched eyebrow, "Love you too, Dad", Steve
whispered, & then said exclaiming, "All right, Kiddos, Here I come !", & raced
to join in the family fun.
