First of all, sorry, this took way longer than it should have (blame chemistry homework if you feel so inclined). Second of all, sorry, for the time that this took it should be better and longer, but you know, c'est la vie.

When Steve walks into his house upon his early release - the doctors had finally gotten sick of him prodding them, so with instructions to keep an eye on him, Chin had driven him home - he doesn't expect to find Danny sitting on his couch with a sleeping Grace curled into his side, her science fair poster board sitting on the coffee table.

Danny brings a finger to his lips, lifting his arm from around Grace in invitation. Steve struggles over, made awkward by the sling around one arm and crutch in the other.

"So this is why Chin willingly let me go in by myself?" He near whispers as he settles himself on the couch, resting his good arm around Danny's shoulders, casted leg propped up on the table.

"Grace wanted to show you her project, so I called to see if you hadn't busted yourself out and what do you know, Chin told me you had. Someone had to make sure you didn't do anything stupid.

"I take it the science fair went well then?"

"She got first in her class, but you didn't hear that from me.

Steve nods, remembering all the hours spent with materials spread out over his kitchen table, Grace pouring over the information, making sure her board was perfect.

"That's great, she earned it."

Danny leans his head on Steve's shoulder, careful not to jostle his partner's tender ribs.

"When do you think we should tell the rest of the team and Rachel?"

"I feel like Chin and Kono already know, but I'm fine with telling them as long as you are."

Danny nods, smiling, feeling warm and comfortable now that Steve is back and safe. He presses a soft kiss to his shoulder. When Danny responds "love you, babe" he doesn't need to look to know Steve is smiling goofy-smile-number-three.

Well, that's it. Constructive criticism is welcome :)
