Jesse McGarrett

Book 2: Chapter 12

A week later....
Everything was finally getting back to normal. I started working at Five-0 again. Danny and I were beginning to patch things up. I knew it would be hard, but I also knew we could make it through this. I was sitting in my office when  the phone rang.
Me: Hello?
?????: Hi. Is this Jesse McGarrett?
Me: Formerly, yes.
?????: This is Rhonda at California's Orange county court house. Was your marriage held by a minister named John Broyles?
Me: Yes. Why?
Rhonda: We would like to inform you and Daniel Williams that you are no longer legally married. John Broyles did not have the legal power to marry you and we just recently got the records of your marriage. I would like to apologize for any inconvenience thi...
I cut her off.
Me: Let me stop you right there. You mean to tell me that I'm not actually married and you're "sorry to the inconvenience?" That's bull. Go suck a...
I was cut off by Danny opening my door. It was only then that I realized I was yelling. I hung up on the woman on the other line.
Danny: What did you just say?
Me: Well I was about to say go suck one but you came in and so I didn't get to finish.
Danny: Jesse I mean before that. About us not being married.
I took a deep breath and explained everything to Danny. I picked up the cushion from my chair in a fit of rage and dropped kicked it, sending it flying across the room.
Me: What's next? Are we gonna find out that our babies aren't legally ours too?
My phone rang again. This time it was Grace who was watching the twins.
Me: Jesus Christ.

Me: Hello?
Grace: hey is it okay if Samantha's mom comes over to to pick me and Charlie and the twins up and bring them to her house?
I sighed in relief.
Me: that's fine. Have fun okay?
Grace: Okay love you Jesse
Me: Love you too.

I hung up the phone.

Danny: Look at it this way. Now we can have a wedding here with all of our friends.
Me: That's true. Listen Danny I really want to get this fixed as soon as possible but is there any way we could wait at least a week? My best friend from the Navy is coming home in a week and I would really like it if she was there. If you don't want to wait that long I understand and that's okay.
Danny: That's fine with me.
Me: Okay I'll have Kono help me plan the wedding while you work on the case.
Danny: Okay
Danny started to walk back to his office. I quickly scribbled something down on a sticky note.
Me: Wait! Here. I forgot to give this to you.
Danny took the note and read it, his eyes widening. He looked at me with an eyebrow raised and a smirk across his face. He smiled as he walked out. Once I saw that he was back in his office, I went to the bathroom down the hall. I sat waiting on the counter. I glanced down at my watch but it had only been 2 minutes. Finally after 5 minutes Danny walked in. He immediately started kissing me. I could feel him smile against my lips. We kept kissing. And just when we were about to get to the good part, Grover walked in.
Grover: Damn it, I just wanted to take a pee break.
Me: Oh my God. Sor...
Grover: Don't. Just don't.
He walked out shaking his head. Danny and I collapsed into the floor laughing. After a minute he got up and grabbed my hands to pull me up. I jumped up onto my feet and looked him in the eye.
Me: We'll continue this another time.
Danny: I like the sound of that.
He smirked. We walked back to our offices as quietly and discretely as possible. Not even a minute later, Steve flung open my office door, a stern look on his face.
Steve: What the hell was that?
I twirled a piece of hair around my finger not making eye contact. Danny came out of his office.
Danny: Steve it's none of your business.
Steve turned around and clocked Danny in the jaw.
Steve: Grow up Danny.
Steve turned to walk away as Danny rubbed his jaw. I grabbed his arm and spun him around. I used all of my strength and punched him right in the face. He grabbed his face as it began to bleed.
Me: Doesn't feel too good. Does it?
I grabbed Danny's arm and pulled him out the door to my car. He got in the passenger seat and I drove us to the house. Once inside, we sat on the couch and I fixed up his face.
Danny: I'm sorry.
Me: For what?
Danny: All of that.
Me: Steve is just that: Steve. It could've been anything. Regardless, this was going to happen one way or another.
I began dabbing at the spot on his jaw when it started to bleed again. Before I could finish, Danny pulled me into his arms. We stretched out on the couch and I rested my head on his chest. We eventually fell asleep, only robbed awakened by a loud pounding on the door. I got up and walked to our door and opened it to find Steve. I slammed the door back in his face. He immediately began pounding on it again. Angrily I threw open the door and yelled.
Me: WHAT DO YOU WANT?
Steve: I'm sorry.
Me: okay. Bye.
Steve held the door open so that I couldn't shut it.
Steve: I'm sorry I just don't like the thought of you hooking up with Danny in the bathroom and Danny knows better than that.
Me: We're married for God's sake.
Steve: Actually you're not.
Me: Whatever. Bye.
Steve: Maybe instead of trying to hook up you should be focusing on your kids who you dumped off at someone else's house.
Me: First off I didn't dump them off. Second don't DARE try to tell me how to parent my children.
Steve: I'm not. I'm just saying.
Me: Well I'm just saying LEAVE.
I took him by surprise and spammed the door and locked it. I moment later I heard his truck start and speed off as the tires squealed.
