FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 17TH 6:PM
MCGARRETT HOUSE
Jen had come down stairs to find Danny laid out on the couch with Sophi on his chest asleep. Jen smiled and went over and sat down beside him. "Danny, give me her and let me put her in a swing so she can look around. You need to rest." Jen said picking the baby up.
"Ok. But I need to start dinner." Danny said sitting up.
"No, you're gonna go out on the lanai and relax. I got dinner covered. Rachel is bringing Grace over once she gets done with Dance class." Jen said standing up and setting the speed on the swing.
"I can do something." Danny said.
"Danny, you've been taking care of me and these girls, as well as Grace. Not to mention running the team while dad is away. Let me take care of you now. Call Chin and Kono and tell em unless it's something they can't handle to not call you. Spend some undivided time with Grace." Jen said leaning up and kissing his cheek,
"You drive a hard bargain. But you're right." Danny said. "
I know I am. Go I'll bring Grace out when she gets here." Jen said pushing him outside,
30 MINUTES LATER
KITCHEN
Jenn had just finished putting the last of the casserole into the dish when a knock came on the front door. Before she could wipe her hands Grace appeared in the kitchen door. "Jen!!!" Grace said.
"Hey girlie," Jenn said hugging her.
Rachel came in and hugged Jenn. "What are you making?" Rachel asked.
"Hash Brown Casserole. Something easy." Jenn said.
"Where's Danno?" Grace asked.
"He is out by the beach. You want to take your shoes and Socks off and go hang out til dinner is ready?" Jenn asked.
"Yes. Bye Mommy." Grace said hugging Rachel.
"Bye Darling." Rachel said watching Grace run out toward the beach chairs. "He ok?" Rachel asked.
"I think, taking care of twins and me plus running the team without dad has gotten to him. I told him this weekend was for him and Grace. I would take care of the house and twins." Jenn said closing the oven door.
"I need your help." Rachel said.
"With what?" Jenn asked sitting down on the island stool.
"I had a co worker ask me out." Rachel said.
"And did you say yes?" Jenn asked.
"I did." Rachel said.
"So, what do you need from me?" Jenn asked.
"Getting ready. I haven't been on a date. Since Grace was in pre school. Help?" Rachel asked.
"Sure. When is it?" Jenn asked.
"Next Saturday." Rachel said.
"I'll come over and we're find something for you to wear." Jenn said.
"Thanks, I need to go get ready for work." Rachel said standing and hugging Jenn.
"Be safe. And send pictures of this fella." Jenn said hugging back.
"Will do. Bye sweets." Rachel said leaving.

"I don't know Baby. He is still doing his Seal thing." Danny said.
"I miss him." Grace said curling into Danny's chest.
"I do too Monkey." Danny said.
"I think Jenn is sad." Grace said.
"I know, but I bet when he is home she'll be happy again." Danny said looking over to where Jenn was studying at the Lanai table.

"We are Monkey. Then we're gonna take him to meet the babies." Danny said pulling into the parking lot.
"What about Jenn?" Grace asked.
"Well me, Kyle and her teacher Mr Cue have sort of set up a surprise for Jenn." Danny said.
"That is so cool." Grace said as she took Danny's hand and walked into Pearl Harbor.
Steve who was coming out of the office smiled big seeing Danny and Grace. "Danno!!!" Steve yelled running to them. Danny looked up and smiled at him. "Hey," Danny said being pulled into a hug and Kiss.

"Rachel good to see you too. I was surprised of the move tho." Steve said.
"Well it works out well for Grace. She can go back and forth. Plus I watch the girls while Jenn is at school and Danny is at work." Rachel said.
"Speaking of girls. Can I possibly meet my granddaughters?" Steve asked.
"Yes, Right this way. They just went down for a nap." Rachel said moving into her spare bedroom.
Steve walked in and spotted Issy and Sophie both sleeping. "Oh my." He said walking to Issy's crib and lightly rubbing her face. "She looks just like Jenn did when she was born." Steve said turning and looking at Sophie who had opened her eyes. "Oh pepe momona. They're both so beautiful." Steve said wiping tears off his face.
"They are. They're sleeping through the night mostly. But Jenn gets up with em mostly." Danny said.

KAHUKU HIGH SCHOOL-AUDITORIUM
AFTERNOON
Kyle and Jenn walked into the auditorium on the promise that rehearsal was an hour earlier today due to school function. As they got into the auditorium Kyle lead Jenn down to the second row and sat down with her. "What's going on?" Jenn asked.
"It's guys versus girls. So you and the girls are gonna watch us." Kyle said.
"Ok. So where are they?" Jenn asked.
Just then Hannah and the other girls came into the room. Dana who was nicer to Jenn sat beside her and patted her leg. "Let's see how we can beat em." Dana said.
"Sounds good to me." Jenn said.
As she looked forward she didn't notice Kyle motion Grace, Danny and Rachel who were carrying the babies into the back of the room, as did most all of the students and teachers from the school Mr Cue came up on the stage and spoke. "Ok so the boys are gonna sing. 'She won't let go' by Clint Black." Mr Cue said.
As all the boys got assembled the song came on Jen couldn't help but think of her dad. The song was eerily similar to her childhood. When the song got to the bridge where it said the dad came home Jenn noticed the boys stop. "Ladies and Gentlemen please make welcome back from deployment Lt Commander Steve McGarrett" Mr Cue said as Steve made his way down the aisle.
Jenn bolted from her seat seeing him and jumped into his arms. As the song finished Steve just held her as everyone stood applauding. Danny and Rachel both had tears running down their face. Grace just played with the babies smiling. "You're home." Jenn said in disbelief tears running down her face as well.
"I am. aloha wau ia 'oe." Steve said kissing her head.
"I love you too Dad." Jenn said as he let her go. Danny and Rachel came over and joined into the hug.
THAT NIGHT

"Yeah. Jenn said smiling down at the baby.
"They are so beautiful." Steve said.
"Yeah they are. Hard to imagine they're 3 months." Jenn said.
Steve sat there watching as Jenn burped Issy and laid her down. "I am so proud of you." Steve said a catch in his voice.
"Why?" Jenn asked.
"You had these two little beings with out much help." Steve said.
"Danny must of been talking again." Jenn said smirking.
"No, I know you. He did say you don't let him get up in the middle of night." Steve said.
"He works. I've had time to recouperate." Jenn said.
"You my girl are one of a kind." Steve said kissing her head and leaving the room.
STEVE & DANNY'S ROOM
Steve came in and crawled into bed next to Danny. "What do you have there?" Danny asked.
"Baby Monitor." Steve said.
"You sly devil. How'd you get it from her?" Danny asked grinning.
"I'm a NAVY Seal I know how to sneak things." Steve said.
"I do love your sneakiness." Danny said pulling Steve down to kiss him and other things.
