Heyyy guys! Sorry for the delay! I've been busy as of late :'(

Steve POV:
"Commander McGarrett, wake up" The voice says and with that my brain finally lurches into action and my eyes are instantly on the voices owner.
My body lurches forwards almost to quickly to catch the small body of the little girl who was curled onto my lap, hands gripping my shirt as she slept, but luckily the years of being in the NAVY had made my reflexes lightening fast and I quickly wrap an arm behind her small back to stop her tumbling to the floor.
As I make sure the little girl was safe and secure against me once more, her eyes still closed in peaceful slumber, I turn to the voice of the man who woke me once more.
"Hello, Commander my name is Nohea Kekoa. And I am the doctor attending to Detective Williams." The doctor introduces himself, his voice quiet and gentle, almost a whisper as if he was trying to remain as quiet as he could for the sake of the three people who remained asleep. For that alone i felt myself liking the doctor, for he made sure not to wake the others who were surely exhausted and deserved the nap.
The doctor was young and tall with tanned skin. He was obviously a native to Hawaii and had dark brown, nearly black hair and dark eyes to match it, with a strong jaw line and a comforting smile. He was lithe but strong and had broad shoulders to go with it.
"How's Danny, Doc?" I ask, voice terse and worried as I look into the doctors eyes, waiting for him to tell me my brother was dead and gone.
"At the moment, Commander, Detective Williams is stable. He crashed on the table once while in surgery but after we got him back everything went smoothly. We removed a total of three bullets from his body with the chest wound being most critical. The bullet missed his heart by mere inches, a little further up and we wouldn't be having this convocation. The bullet in his stomach was miraculous a through and through and missed all his major organ's. His shoulder too, was a minor gunshot wound and should heal rather quickly. We are more concerned about the chest wound than anything else. We also found some cuts from glass in his hand and legs which we had to flush of glass. He also has some minor bruising from a small fall and the CPR he received. Otherwise, Detective Williams is recovering and is in a very stable condition." The doctor finishes.
"So he's going to be okay?"I ask, desperate to be reassured that Danno would make it through.
"With some time, Yes. In fact i'm very optimistic that he will be awake by twelve. He'll be in pain and will be confused but i'm hopeful that he will be able to talk coherently but I would recommend laying off taking his statement until he has had more time to recover. Maybe until Sunday morning, he should be stronger and more able then" The doctor says, voice soothing my worries.
"Thank you" Was all I managed to get over the lump which had grown in my throat, the overwhelming sense of relief rushing over my body at his words.
"No need to thank me, I have done nothing he has not already done for me." The doctor replies, almost cryptically as my eyes snap towards his face questioningly. "He saved the only family I have left a while ago, took a bullet for my sister and saved her and my niece. I owe him so much more than what I have done for him"
I was shocked at his word's. Of course I knew Danny was selfless and had done something like this many times before but to hear it from someone who the action was held dearly too was just amazing. The pure thankfulness and gratefulness in the doctors eyes were astounding, here stood a man who saved lives daily, in utter gratification for a man he did not know, a stranger, who risked his life for the two people he cherished most about in life.
The situation made me proud of Danny, that he bought such relief to a man who could have lost his sister and his niece, could have lost.
I was bought out of my thought when the small body resting on me started to shuffle around and soon enough a small voice travelled to my ears.
"Uncle Steve?" Grace's voice was muffled and sleepy.
"Right here Gracie" I reply, my hand's automatically moving along her back in a soothing manner.
"Danno?" She whispered, looking up, brown eyes meeting mine, the hopeful look she gave me making my heart melt.
"He's going to fine, Gracie. In fact look behind you, Doc here just told me Danny is sleeping but he may be awake by lunch" I relay the information the Doctor told me, leaving out the parts which included Danny dying and taking bullets from his body, knowing it would just make Grace worry more.
"Really?" She asked, this time her puppy like eyes were turned to the Doctor who still stood, patiently waiting.
"Yes it is. Your Father is resting at the moment, gathering his strength before he can wake." The Doctor answers, his voice soft, his eyes matching his tone as he looked down at the little girl, surely being reminded of his niece. "Oh, my name is Nohea if you wish to call me that" He adds, sticking out his hand for Grace to take, which she did.
"I'm Grace. This is Uncle Steve" She motions towards my face nearly taking out my eye before gesturing over to the still slumbering cousins "And that's Uncle Chin and Aunt Kono" She finishes taking back her hand when the Doctor pulled away, her small hand grabbing onto my shirt instantly as if it was a lifeline.
"Thank you for introducing me, Grace. But I must get back to work now. If you wait here I will send a Nurse down with food and drink shortly. I will be back as soon as I've dealt with my other patients, we can go see you Father then. Does that sound good?" The Doctor questioned, smiling at Grace reassuringly.
"Mmmhmm" Was Grace's only reply, her face having been burrowed back into my chest.
"Okay, I'll get to that then" He said with a nod towards me before turning around and heading towards a pair of double doors.
"Doc?" I speak quickly, making Nohea stop and turn.
"Yes commander?" He answered, eyes on me.
"Danny wouldn't want you not to be thanked just because he saved your Sister and Niece. So Thank you for saving him. It means just as much to me as it was to you when he saved them" I declare, voice breaking at the thought of losing the man he viewed as a brother tore his heart in two.
"I..I..You're welcome" Was all the Doctor said in reply before turning and leaving.
