Random thoughts about Hawaii Five-0 rewatch: part 2/?

Still trying to make sense, in sparse order, of some things I noticed and that made me question the mental stability of whoever decided determined plot points...

Thought #3: missed chance to be a fucking adult, evolved human being and not a caveman about divorced couples, or: if you had started with the intention of showing how Danny and Rachel could rebuild affection and understanding, why fucking slaughter her character that way?!?!

At the end of s1, I suppose it's in the Shorelines extra? anyway, the authors talk extensively about how it was their endgame since the pilot to portray the subtle change and the evolution of the relationship between Danny and Rachel, meaning: they wanted to show how two people, who once loved each other enough to decide to share a lifetime together, had fallen apart and started hating each other just as much because that's what happens in life, but in the end, slowly, thanks to life's twists and turns, they managed to find back the chemistry, the trust, the support, the love they had lost, creating a new kind of bond.

~~~~~~follows under the cut~~~~~~

Which....cool, really. It's fantastic. I obviously don't like the idea of no-mcdanno, but in a way I can really appreciate the intention of portraying something clearly fictional but way better, healthier and more hopeful than what happens in reality like, 70% of the times. My parents would immediately slaughter each other even after more than 30 years after the divorce. I have friends and ex colleagues who are just the same and cannot even be decent enough not to shit over each other in front of their children, making them part of their feud. In Italy, every three days a woman is murdered by her husband, ex husband, fiancee, partner, ex partner. The other 30% is barely civil enough to pretend NOT TO want to murder the other ex spouse.

So, cool. Good intention, I appreciated it, even if I don't agree with Danny sleeping with his ex wife behind her rightful husband's back.

Then 2x01 happened and ok, everything between them fell apart. Probably Danny didn't really believe the baby was Stan's, but it didn't matter because in the end he trusted Rachel and that was enough. He helped her deliver Charlie. He was a good friend. They could've kept this storyline, show how ex spouses can become civil and affectionate again, share a different love, explore the nuances of an extended family. Everything could've been normal and healthy.

So what the fuck happened with the whole "Stan wants to move to Vegas" and then "Rachel always knew Charlie was Danny's but had decided to keep him in the dark because she wanted to decide for everyone"?!?

Ready? The answer comes, plain and simple, in the following seasons' Shorelines commentaries.

They wanted to put Danny through an emotional grinder and imagine how he'd react, but most of all, they wanted to throw a curveball (multiple curveballs including Steve's storyline) at the audience, to hook them, shock them, and make sure they'd be unable not to be there for the next season to see what will happen.

That's it. That's the great mastermind masterplan.

Cheap shocking for the sake of audience ratings.

Ok, I get that after all the mess Rachel did, she probably didn't get much of a saying in Stan's relocation purpose...even if she could've been the friend Danny had been, and left Grace with him, moving only with Charlie and maybe getting Grace for school breaks. Anyway, that's a normal and believable kind of shock/curveball.

But the whole "Charlie’s paternity clusterfuck"?? I mean, it's not even realistically believable! In my 44 years, I've witnessed THIS EXACT SITUATION TWICE!! And in both cases, first thing the cheated husband did, apart from asking immediately for a divorce, was asking for a paternity test! That's what normal, real people do, if they KNOW their wife had an affair and suspiciously GETS PREGNANT immediately after!!

Unless you're a complete idiot who has no experience whatsoever of how the real world works, there's only one explanation for this mess: that you wanted us to imply that Rachel didn't even tell Stan about the cheating, that she simply told him, generically, that their marriage wasn't working anymore and she wanted to go back home, and made him believe that the baby had been conceived during their last-effort trip before Danny was poisoned....right after she'd made sure she'd get pregnant with Danny's kid to trap him with guilt AND need, and then lied to both men. FOR YEARS.

I call this clusterfuck one name only: character's assassination.

There were so many ways, even after s2 and s3 events had happened, they could've brought that shocking curveball forward, because the path they chose only managed to depict Rachel as a mean, cheating, liar bitch who managed to play both men. It's horrible, and chauvinist, and toxic.

She could've been genuinely sure Charlie was Stan's, and only with the disease outbreak and the test both Rachel and Stan had learnt about the truth. Stan could've kicked her out and Danny could've swept in like a real hero to help a friend who once was his love, or maybe they could've explored the difficulties of rebuilding a family.

More simply, Charlie could've been genuinely Stan's but Stan could've given her an ultimatum about Vegas and they could've divorced because Rachel couldn't bear the situation anymore, and made Stan go through what Danny had suffered with the move to Hawai'i.

Charlie could've been Danny's, and she could've decided to come clean with both instead of the whole shared custody arc (this situation, of course, implies that they could've been so far-sighted to imagine a several-seasons arc for Danny and Rachel, instead of improvising for the sake of shock).

Stan could've died, and Danny could've found himself suddenly in charge not only of his daughter and ex wife, but also acting as a father figure for a little kid who wasn't his, but who was his daughter's little brother thus deserving love and protection, making his genuine amazing humanity shine.

These are just some things I'm coming up with, right now, while I'm working and not even plotting, and avoiding any hypothesis implying both Stan's and Rachel's timely death to allow Danny the troubling experience of being a single father of two kids, maybe suddenly discovering that Charlie is his.

There were so many interesting nuances they could've explored, to make sure that they could've followed their initial masterplan about rebuilding a human bond between Danny and Rachel, AND granted them enough shock and emotional distress to hook the audience to the following seasons. Kinda like what they did, more respectfully, with the reveal of Harry's paternity.

They simply chose the cheapest route: harpy, bitch, whore ex wife cheats on both husbands and ruins everyone's life.

Good job.

@neanderthal-pessimist

Babe, you asked about Danny's suicidal thoughts/attempt so here it is.

In 1x18 there is a moment when Danny and Steve have a talk with FBI guys and later, when boys are alone, Danny is devastated by the news about Matt's financial crimes and Steve's "what if Matt is really guilty?". Danny wants Steve to have faith in Matt (or: Danny tries to still believe in his own brother, he wants to be loyal) and there's his confession.

Very dark and painful confession: once Danny thought about suicide (and I guess/interpret that he TRIED to kill himself - and that's why Matt was always there, was there almost 24/7).

Why? Because of damn Rachel. No, it wasn't because of the divorce (he could live without her, he would be happier without her and his mental health would be much better when she's away from him). It was because of Rachel's plays. GRACIE. She used Grace against Danny, she wanted to ruin his fatherhood. She took Grace away from him and was like "You'll lose her, Daniel. I swear" ("I'll punish you, Daniel"). Once she and her mother behaved in toxic and abusive way towards Danny and then, after divorce, Rach ruined Danny's mind again. She knew well what would hurt him, what would really hurt him. She knew well that Grace was Danny's everything. Danny's forever-love. Rach knew where to hit so she hit.

So in 1x18 we can see all Danny's pain. All painful memories. It's a double pain cause it's about Gracie and now also about Matty. Matty saved him. We can say about Matt many things but yeah, he saved Danny's life. He helped Danny to be strong again. He helped him to fight for Gracie. Danny almost lost Grace, almost lost his life (literally and metaphorically) and in this moment he fears that he will lose his brother - a brother who helped him so much.

Gosh, Steve's face. He's shocked. He's terrified. He tries to stay calm but he can't - he's shaking inside. His Danny, his beloved Danny, his angel, best friend, his best human ever, sunshine of his life... Danny almost died. Almost killed himself. Danny. Suicide, fuck. Yes, Steve understands Danny's loyalty and love for Matthew BUT THIS. SUICIDE. Steve can't think about Matt now. He is focused on Danny. On Danny's old pain. He can't believe that his boy tried, thought... His strong, "there's always hope" boy... Fuck. No. God, why? Why Danny had to suffer? Why Danny has to suffer? Oh, Steve knows well that part of the pain is still there - cause Rachel still wants war. She is still mean to Danny. Her smile can't hide it. Steve knows her. He observes. He listens to Danny and believes Danny, not her.

Steve is pissed off. He was pissed off earlier when he saw Rachel's games. When he heard Danny's bitter words, Danny's fears. But now Steve has such a face like... It's the face "I wanna go back to the restaurant and...". Shout at Rachel. Tell her that she's the worst. Gosh, Steve looks here like he wants to punch her. He can't do this, he knows (plus: he doesn't want to ruin Danny's fatherhood). But in his mind he is punching her. He is shouting at her (well, maybe one day he will tell her, one day he will punch her with his bitter words, one day when Danny and Grace are safe).

Steve is here (and always will be) for Danny. He touches him. This touch is like a touch of guardian angel. And in the end he is looking at Danny and there's so much love and concern in Steve's eyes. Rachel can't hurt Danno anymore, no fucking way, he thinks.

It's such a strong scene. Danny opens his heart. Oh yes, Steve is the only one - Danny lets only him to know. To know about the darkest moment in Danny's life. Danny knows that Steve will understand. That Steve will treat this seriously. Steve is like him. And Steve is the opposite of Rachel. There's no shame, Danny. Steve loves you. Your pain is his pain. All what is yours is his.

I love that they're together SO MUCH. They're together so it will be all right. They're strong together. So strong.

I'm not a fan of Matt but it's so good that Danny had him around. Matt saved Danny and all what he did for him as a brother... It's touching. It's beautiful. All that beer, all those talks, all this time... Thank you, Matthew Williams. You saved an angel.

But... I can't believe that this Matt, this Matt that saw his brother's pain, deepest depression, that witnessed Danny's suicidal attempt... Why the hell Matt still tries to be nice (SO nice) to Rachel? Why the hell he wants her around Danny? (and Grace) Why the hell he invited Rachel for his family dinner with Danny and Grace? Why the hell he told Danny "You love Rachel, I see this"?! Why the hell he behaves like he wants to see Danny and Rachel together again (knowing well about Danny's pain and seeing well how much Steve means to Danny)? Why sometimes he behaves like HE is in love with Rach? (well, sometimes she looks at him like "I chose the wrong brother" so... hmm...).

And Rachel, geez. Why show's plot is on her side? Why no one sued her for what she did? She's guilty. She (and her mother) ruined Danny's mental health. After divorce she ruined Danny's mental health even more. Her toxic/destructive behaviour (and using Grace in her war against Danny) was the cause. Her behaviour and toxic deeds, her "I'll take Grace" pushed Danny to suicide attempt. Why didn't she face any consequences? Why are people still kind to her? Why the hell Grace lives with her? Where's "I'm sorry, Danny?" (oh, okay, there's no apology cause Hollanders are never sorry, right?).

Six months. SIX MONTHS! Six months full of deepest anxiety and depression. Six months WHOLE of that. Six months without light. Six months, for six months Matt tried to change Danny's mind. For six months there was a danger - that Danny would do it. I can imagine Matt's fear when he went to work and for those few hours per day Danny was there alone... Six months with darkest thoughts. And before and after that? Still dark. She made/makes Danny's life dark (and Steve's too, by the way).

Where's the law? Where's the justice for Danny? What an irony - he fights for other victims' justice but he as a victim got no justice.

Yeah, I know. Writers hated Danny. And Lenkov wanted Danny/Rachel so badly...

"I would not have gotten through that"

It hurts. It's blood-curdling. Danny, our bamf!Danny said that. It's generally scary to hear such words. To see other person's pain and feeling of total loss. Gosh, I can't 😭 This line kills me. It kills my heart.

(Thank you, Matthew for saving the life. Thank you, Steve for saving this life again. For giving Danny a real good life, safer and colourful. Life full of love).

I Love Him- Part 12

Warning: This does contain a description of labor.

I huff and roll over onto my back as sleep evades me as it seems to be doing more and more the further along I get into the pregnancy. My doctor says the boys are prepared to pop out at any time, and I’ve never wanted them out more than I do now. I sigh as I crawl out of bed deciding that it’s pointless to lay in bed when I’m not going to get any sleep, especially since my tossing and turning keeps Steve awake.

I grab a glass of water before leaning on the island and sipping it slowly. I look to the doorway to the kitchen when I hear Eddie’s whine, “What’s the matter buddy? Am I keeping you up too?” He whines again before he comes and leans against my leg looking for head scratches, and who am I decline such a sweet boy.

He stiffens when I wince from a dull yet painful ache in my lower back. I set my glass down and pat Eddie’s head, “‘S okay bubba, just some Braxton hicks.” He looks at me skeptically as if to tell me I’m wrong and I chuckle at his evident concern, “I swear it, I’m okay.” He huffs seeming to accept the answer before prancing out to his dog bed and curling up.

After another hour I’m tired enough that I decide it’s worth a shot to lay down. I make my way back to my bedroom when another cramp shoots down my spine. I lean against the wall and grit my teeth, “Okay boys, cut it out, mummy’s tired.” Once it passes I crawl back into bed and finally fall asleep.

A few hours later I wake up with a stronger pain at my back. I sit up and let out a whine as it hits stronger. I look to my left to see Steve isn’t there which means he’s downstairs somewhere. It’s daylight now so I got a few hours of sleep, granted I was woken up about every hour with pains that got increasingly worse, stupid Braxton hicks!

I make my way downstairs to see Junior and Lilly eating a bowl of cheerios and laughing about something Lilly said. I walk to the pantry and grab some bread when I heard Lilly, “Mommy, are you okay?” I furrow my eyebrows and look to see Lilly and Junior looking at me in concern, “Yeah baby, I’m okay, why?” She shovels another spoonful of cheerios in her mouth before speaking around the cheerios, “You look sick.”

Junior nods, “She’s right Y/N/N, you look pale and tired. Did you get any sleep last night?” I huff and shake my head, “No, I’ve been having some bad cramps all night and I was miserable, so no, I didn’t sleep.” He frowns before taking Lilly to the living room to watch some old cartoon.

I peak out the window to see Steve swimming with Eddie and smile before reaching in the pantry and freezing when I feel liquid on my bare feet. Uh oh.

“Y/N? Are you okay?” I turn around to look at Junior with wide eyes, “Steve! Get Steve now!” His eyes bug out when he puts the pieces together and all but falling to the floor at his haste to get outside. I look down to see my feet standing in a puddle, my water finally broke, I’m having the babies. I grab a paper towel and quickly dry my feet.

“Oh my God!” I grip the counter as another cramp hits and that’s when it hits me, I haven’t been having Braxton hicks, I’ve been having full on contractions for the last five hours. I turn around when Lilly comes running in looking scared to death, “Mommy! What’s wrong!? Are you okay!?”

I take a deep breath and nod, “Yeah Lilly, but remember how Daddy and I told you that when I was going to have your brothers I was going to hurt a little and have to go to the doctor?” She nods and I smile at the look on her face, “Well, it’s time for Daddy and I to go to the doctors now. Now, could you do me a big girl favor and go into Daddy and I’s room and get the black and blue bag by the dresser?” She nods before racing up the stairs right before the door to the backyard gets flung open.

I spin around to see Steve with spiked wet hair, swim trunks, and wide frantic eyes, “Y/N!? Labor!?” I nod before biting my lip, “Get dressed and get the keys, I’ve been in labor for about five hours if my calculations are correct.” His eyes widen and I grit my jaw as another contractions hits, “NOW!”

He nods before going in the same direction as Lilly had a few seconds earlier. I look at Junior who looks like he’s about to explode, “Junior!” His eyes snap to mine and I waddle towards him, “It’s okay Junior, relax.” He chuckles, “Aren’t I supposed to be telling you that?” I laugh and shake my head, “Oh you know me, always switching up the roles.”

My laugh is cut off in a small scream as I latch onto Juniors arms. He tries his best to stabilize me and I look frantically for Steve when him and Lilly appear in the doorway. I slap my forehead and groan, “My phone, where’s my phone? I need to call Danny, and Tani, and Lou, and Ma an-,” I’m cut off by Steve gently guiding me towards the front door not before helping me slip on sandals, “Relax. I threw your phone in the bag. We’ll call Danny and Tani in the truck and they can call everyone else.” I nod before letting him lead me to the truck before stopping again and turning to Lilly, “Lilly, sweetheart, I’m gonna call Danno and have him come get you but until then can you stay here with Uncle Junior?”

She frowns and shakes her head, “But I wanna be with you.” I blink back tears mostly from pain but also from love, “Sweety, right now they won’t let you in with me but I promise if you stay here with Uncle Junior until Danno gets here you can come see me in a little bit. Okay?” She nods reluctantly before rushing and opening the door for us. I lean down as best I could and press a kiss to her forehead, “I love you.”

“WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU’RE IN LABOR!?” I swear Danny’s a putz, “What the hell do you think it means Daniel? It me-,” I cut myself off as I grab the center console and let out a pained cry, “God Steve please, stop driving responsibly!” He nods before pressing down harder on the gas while I go back to yelling at Danny, “DANNY! Listen to me very carefully, you are going to get off the phone, you are going to call Ma and Pop and then you are going to go pick up Lillian. And dear God, stop being so goddamn stupid.”

I hang up the phone and dial Tani, “Hey baby momma, what’s up?” I let out a harsh breath trying to not scream before talking, “I’m in labor, my water broke like ten minutes ago. Steve and I are on our way to the hospital but Danny is being a complete idiot so I’m giving you specific instructions.”

I can all but see her straighten up before dutifully listening to my every word, “Please, call Lou and let him know and then please head to the house and stay with Lilly till Danny gets there, and then go with Danny to the hospital. Make sure Lilly has something to do while in the waiting room, coloring or drawing preferably, those keep her occupied for hours. And tell Danny not to worry about calling Grace, she’s my next call.”

“Gracie, don’t freak out, but I just went into labor.” I hear her screech and I chuckle, “There’s not really anything you can do except meet everyone at the waiting room and help keep Danny occupied.”

“Why does Danno need occupied?” I sigh, “Because he’s a basket case right now Grace, he needs you.”

“Seriously? You’re the one in full on labor and Danno is the one who’s being a sissy?”

After the phone calls there is still about five minutes left to the hospital and now that there are no distractions the pain is really kicking in, “Steve?” He glances at me before humming, “What’s the matter baby?” I smile at the fact that he’s pretty much holding himself together with scotch tape to keep from panicking but he’s not letting his worry show because he’ll know I’ll worry.

I reach over and pat his leg, “I just want to apologize in advance for the name calling and guilt tripping I’m going to put you through, and not to mention you’ll probably lose circulation to your hand.” He looks at me with wide eyes and I see the worry swimming below the surface, “Baby, I’m gonna be okay.” He nods before swerving into the hospital parking lot.

When we finally get into a room I’m given painkillers that help somewhat but not completely before my midwife, Janice, swings by, “Hey Mrs. McGarrett. You ready?” I squint my eyes at her and she chuckles, “Got it. I have to check to see how dilated you are.”

A few minutes later she leaves the room after telling us that I’m 6 centimeters dilated. I look to Steve and grab his hand to comfort us both, “Four more to go and then it’s show time.” He nods and smooths back my hair, “You’ve got this baby, and I’ll be here the whole time.” I smile and kiss the palm of his hand before latching onto it with a death grip as another contraction hits.

The door opens seconds after the contraction ends to reveal the team, Grace, and Lilly. Lilly let’s go of Grace’s hand before running to Steve and me, “Mommy! Are my brothers here yet!?”

Steve bends down and picks her up as I shake my head, “No sweetheart not yet.” She frowns but nods as she cuddles is to Steve, such a daddy’s girl.

Next to step up is Danny and Grace, “Ma and Pop are catching the next flight down but they more than likely won’t get to Oahu until early tomorrow morning.” I nod and grab Grace’s hand, “Where’s Charlie?” She rolls her eyes and snorts, “He’s in Vegas with mom and step Stan. I called mom but she said that they won’t come back until Thursday when their plane is scheduled for.” I squeeze her hand seeing the annoyance on her face, “It’s alright Gracie, the boys will be here when he gets ba-,” I squeeze Grace’s hand as another contraction hits, far worse than the last one, and take notice to the way Grace handling the pain in her hand like a champ.

I release her hand when the pain is gone and apologize, “I am so sorry Grace.” She waves me off with a small smile, “Hey you’re about to push two babies out of you I can handle a little hand cramping.” I smile and look at Tani, Junior, and Lou, “This is turning into quite the affair.” They all nod and we fall into conversation talking a little bit about everything until Janice comes back in, “Alright folks, time to give the expecting parents some space.”

Once everyone has left including a sad yet excited Lilly my midwife smiles, “Well, Y/N, you’re 9 centimeters dilated, for your first pregnancy everything is progressing rather quickly.” I scowl at her before snorting, “If this is quick labor I don’t want to be in slow labor.” She chuckles and pats my legs before saying she’ll be back in a couple minutes.

I look at Steve and grab his outstretched hand as he squats by the bed, “Steve?”

“Yeah Y/N/N?”

“I’m scared.” He pushes some hair away from my face with a gentle touch before nodding, “I know baby, I am too, but everything will be okay. You’ve got this.” I grip his hand a little tighter and wince as a rather small pain compared to the others rolls through my body, “You mean we’ve got this?” He chuckles and kisses my forehead, “Yeah, we’ve got this.”

*Small Time Skip*

“Alright Y/N, it’s time to push.”

I whine and pull Steve a little closer, “O-okay.”

“When the next contraction comes I need you to push as hard as you can.” I nod and grip the side of the bed with my right hand and maintain my grip on Steve’s hand with my left hand, “Got it.”

Within thirty seconds another contraction hits and Janice encourages me, “Push! Come on Y/N you’ve got this, the first baby is crowning.” I furrow my brows and throw my head back as I look at Steve, “I SWEAR TO GOD THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT!” He nods and agrees, “Yeah baby, I know, I know.” I sigh out and push as another contraction hits squeezing Steve’s hand harder than I ever thought possible, “I CHANGED MY MIND, THREE KIDS IS ENOUGH!” He smooths back my hair with his free hand not even wincing slightly at the pain I know is radiating out of his hand, “Okay baby, whatever you want.”

Without any real reason I burst out in tears catching Steve, Janice, and the nurse’s attention. Steve rubs his hand up and down my arm worriedly, “What’s wrong baby?” I shake my head as the tears keep coming, “I don’t deserve you. You’re too sweet and kind, and you aren’t even wincing at the pain I know I’m putting you through.” I see Janice smile and Steve shake his head, “No baby, I don’t deserve you and the only pain I feel right now is watching you in pain okay? So you keep squeezing my hand as much as you need.”

I look at Janice with teary eyes, “I have the best husband ever.” She chuckles and nods, “By far one of the best men that has ever been standing where he is now.” I nod but scream as another contraction rolls through.

“That’s it Y/N! One more push and baby number one will be out!” I grip the bed and Steve’s hand as I lean forward pushing with everything in me. I fall back as the contraction passes but perk up as I hear small little cries. I look at Steve as Janice announces, “Baby boy number one is out and looks to be healthy, Steve you get to cut the cords.” Steve looks at me wide eyed but I smile and nod lightly squeezing his hand encouragingly.

The peace and love in the moment is soon ruined when I cry out from another contraction. Janice has already handed the baby off to the nurse who quickly takes him to the little bassinet in the corner where he’s crying his little heart out. The mother in me is in pain hearing the small helpless little cries but it gives me the energy to get his brother out.

Five minutes and four pushes later baby number two is joining in with his brothers cries. I look at Steve and notice he’s watching the nurse intently as she carries the youngest boy to the other bassinet right beside his brother before paging another nurse to come help clean up and health check the twins.

When everything has settled down and Steve is sitting in a chair beside me still holding my hand I meet his tear filled eyes with my own, “I changed my mind again.” He furrows his eyebrows confused and I continue, “I want another baby.” He lets out a loud laugh before kissing my knuckles and shaking his head, “How about we wait a year and then think about it?” I frown and shake my head, “How about six months?” He looks at me in surprise and a dropped jaw, “Babe! The boys won’t even be a year old!”

I shrug and do calculations on my hands, “Well, if we get pregnant again when they’re six months old I’ll give birth about three months after they turn one! That’s plenty of time!” He scratches his jaw and I know he’s thinking about it, “Okay, maybe, but we’ll discuss this again when we’re able to have sex again.” I nod with a smile knowing I’ve already won, “Fair enough.”

When the twins are cleared and deemed as healthy as a newborn can be we finally get to hold them. I hold the youngest while Steve holds the oldest and I study them and realize something and whisper yell, “Steve!” He looks at me with wide eyes, “What?” I smile and point at the boys, “They’re identical and they look like you!” He looks between them with careful eyes and looks at me with a smile, “Of course we would be the one third to have identical twins.” I chuckle and shake my head slightly at the fact that he knew that off the top of his head, “And they have blue eyes and dark hair, just like you.”

*Time Skip*

After about an hour I take the youngest from Steve and send him out to get everyone. Within minutes the room is flooded with everyone and I chuckle as Lilly pushes her way through everyone and comes running to the bed. Steve comes up behind her and swoops her up causing her to squeal a little. He sets Lilly on the bed and she looks down at the twins with wide eyes, “I have brothers?” I nod and slide over a little so she can have a better view.

Danny fights with Tani to see who gets to go first and I chuckle as Tani trips Danny causing him to stumble and almost fall. I quirk an eyebrow as I look at Tani and she shrugs, “I wanted to see my godsons first.” I roll my eyes half heartedly and chuckle, “Well would you like to hold one?” She nods and I hand her the eldest and chuckle as Danny appears and all but begs to hold the youngest. I hand Danny the youngest and watch as everyone surrounds the two and Grace is the first to point out that they’re identical, “Oh my God. They’re identical twins aren’t they?”

I smile as Steve runs his thumb over my knuckles and nod, “Yeah, they are, and they look like Steve.” Everyone nods including Danny who points out something, “Kind of, they have your nose and lips.” I furrow my eyebrows, “I don’t want to know why you’ve been looking at my lips but okay.” He rolls his eyes but maintains a smile as he looks between the boys.

Soon the boys have made their way around the room and back into Steve and I’s arms before Junior asks the question we’ve been waiting for, “What are their names? Because I know you have them picked out, I’ve heard you guys argue over it so when it stopped I figured you had decided.” I nod and look at Steve to see he’s already looking at me, “We thought you would never ask.”

Everyone shuffles closer to the bed where I’m letting Lilly hold the oldest, although I’m doing all the work but she thinks she’s doing it. Steve tells me to tell them so I turn to everyone, “Their names have been changed a little bit, the youngest one has two middle names now.” Everyone nods not seeming to care and I chuckle, “The oldest,” I gesture to the one in Lilly’s arms before continuing, “Is Steven Jack McGarrett Jr., but since we call Steve, Steve and Junior is literally named Junior we’re going to call him Stevie, because no one calls Steve, Stevie.” Everyone nods and chuckles before I turn to Steve who’s holding the youngest, “And the youngest is John Joseph Daniel McGarrett.”

Everyone looks at the youngest knowing his name holds a lot of memories, good and bad. Of course Danny has to ruin it all, “Ha, pay up Lou, I told you they would name one after me!”

Steve and I look at the two as Lou hands Danny a twenty and I glare at them, “You bet on my children!?” And with that Lou and Danny are running out the door.

I scoff, “Assholes.”
