Chapter 7: Family

Later Chin and Kono arrived with Kamekona. They all had gifts for her; flowers and balloons. Predictably, Kamekona brought shrimp.

"It's what I do brah," He told Danny, who laughed for the first time in a while.

"What's funny?" Steve asked as he came through the door holding a giant panda stuffed animal. He gave it to a delighted Grace and turned to Danny and Kamekona.

"I brought some shrimp, brah. Thought we could make this a real party," he said.

"Excellent," he said and mock punched Danny in the shoulder. It was a weak hit so Danny figured he still looked pretty beat up.

"When can I leave?" Grace asked the crowd around her.

"Let's see what the doctor says, okay monkey?" said Danny, sitting back down on her bed.

"Yeah," said Steve, suddenly at their side. "Danno might have to be here longer you know. You could beat him out of here." Grace looked back at her father.

"Are you okay daddy?" she asked, looking worried. Danny put on a carefree face so she wouldn't worry.

"Okay? I'm more than okay! I just have a bit of healing to do."

"Nothing can stop this guy," said Steve proudly putting his hand on his shoulder. Danny smiled and looked around at all of them feeling fond of all of them in this moment, even Kamekona.

"It's true," he said, not thinking of himself but of everyone here who supported him, who raced to his aid. Nothing could stop this family.
