Goodbye Mommy I love you. I said as I laid the last flower on my mothers grave.

They did the salute to her.

As they lowered her into the ground I walked away.

Alex I want you to meet an old friend of your mom and I. He said referring to joe white

Joe White. I said

Alex Slater it's been a long time sweet heart. He said

I'm sorry about your mom. He said hugging me

You two know each other? Steve asked

Of course I know her, who do you think helped Caroline train this girl to be able to kick ass? He said

Did Caroline ever mention to you that she's my daughter? Steve asked

No but I had my suspicions. He said

Alex. Luke my moms brother said walking towards me

Luke. I said hugging him.

I'm so sorry. I said

Hey hey your the one who lost your mom I'm so sorry. He said

Steve McGarret been a damn long time buddy. Luke said hugging Steve.

Is Austin coming? Steve asked

You don't know? Luke asked

What? He asked looking at us

Austin's dead. I said

What. Steve said

At least that's what the note said we don't actually know if he's dead. I said

He's dead. Luke said

Wouldn't be the first person in my family to actually be alive with there dead. I said

I'll be back. I said

I walked over toward the water.

You two really think I would realize your here? I asked

Worth a shot. Brody my moms brother said

I'm sorry about Caroline. Delano said

I'm sure you are. I said

No Alex I really am, I cared a lot about Caroline. He said

If you cared so much about her you'll tell me who killed her. I said

If I knew they'd already be dead. He said

I don't want to deal with any of this today let me have this day to lay my mom to rest and get the hell out of here.  I said

She's my sister. Brody said

You want me to freak out and draw attention to you two? Because I can and something tells me your suppose to be in jail Delano and luke will have no problem kicking your ass Brody. I said

I walked back towards Steve.

Who were you just talking to? He asked

No one of any importance. I said

He looked at me.

Not today. I said

I looked around and everyone stood there talking and crying and looking at the grave.

I couldn't do it.

I took my shoes off and sprinted down to the beach I stood with my feet in the water

Steve was calling my name but I just stood there.

Hey why'd you take off? He asked

It's what I do? Didn't you know I'm a runner it's the only thing I've ever done is run. I said

Maybe you should stop. He said

What? I asked

Alex i missed 16 years of your life and I can't miss anymore of it, I want you to stay here and live with me in Hawaii. He said

Really? I asked

Yeah, I mean your my daughter and I couldn't imagine you going anywhere else. He said

Ok. I said

So you'll stay? He asked

Yeah I'll stay. I said

<Steve's house>

So it's not the best right now but we can paint and get new bedding and everything and you can make it your own. He said

Thank you. I said hugging him.

Your welcome. He said

Now come on downstairs I have someone who wants to see you. He said

I walked downstairs.

Hey sweet girl. Doris said

Grandma. I said hugging her

I missed you so much. She said hugging me tightly

I missed you too. I said

I'm sorry I couldn't make it in time. She said

It's okay. I said

Will someone help me with the food? Katherine asked

I will. I said getting up

<Steve pov>

You sure your ready for this? Doris asked me

I don't think parents are every ready but I can do it. I said

Caroline raises a good kid, she has an attitude and she's hard headed but she's sweet and she loves her family. She said

Also she's an amazing cook so whatever's going on in there I better get some. Doris said loudly so Alex could here

Malasadas? She asked
