A week past since then.Steve never tried to get up by himself again.
Danny-Do you need help to wear your suit Steve?
Steve-No,I'm okay
Steve's inside his room and stares at his dress blues that are hanging at the closet
Danny-It's the Governor's Thanksgiving gala,we can't be late
Steve-One minute
Steve keeps staring at his dress blues
Danny-Have you even tried to wear it?
Steve doesn't answer,Danny rushes inside
Danny-Oh Steve
Danny grabs the suit and goes to help Steve to wear it
Steve-I don't wanna go
Danny-We talked about this,it will be good for you to see some people,plus you're getting a medal you cannot jot be there
Steve-I don't care about medals
Danny-We're going,I'm not hearing a word
Danny helps him get dressed,he looks at him
Danny-You look good babe
Steve-(smiles)Thank you,you too
Danny-Glad to hear that,we should go now
Steve-Okay
They get out,into the car and they leave.They arrive at the gala,Danny helps Steve get out and they go inside.They greet some people and then they go to their table.The rest of the Five-0 team arrives and they sit next to them.They start chatting.The time for the ceremony arrives.Governor is at the stand.
Governor-The first award for the night goes to Lieutenant Commander Steven J. McGarrett
Danny gets him up there,everyone applauses,Governor awards Steve the medal.Steve's heartbeat are increasing since he hasn't been infront of a so big crowd after he got shot.He tries not to show it.Danny notices it but he knows that Steve can handle this.
Governor-Congratulations Commander
Steve-Thank you Governor
Governor-Would you mind telling something?
Danny looks at Sqteve who looks at the crowd and then at him.Steve gets the microphone
Steve-I want to say a huge thank you to everyone who's there for me and helps me and especially Detective Sergeant Daniel Williams
He turns his head and he looks at Danny
Steve-Thank you
Danny smiles,Steve returns the microphone to the Governor and he goes to Danny
Governor-Thank you for keeping us safe Commander McGarrett and Detective Williams.We hope to see you Commander on your feet and back on action soon
Everyone applauses,Danny gets Steve off the stage,Steve exhales a big breath.
Danny-Are you ok Steve?
Steve-I'm fine Danno
They return to their table.The rest of the night is being good.After a couple of hours they leave.Next day the team decided not to play their annual football game since they wouldn't feel okay to see Steve watching sad from the side.The dinner at Steve's backyard was on tho.Everyone came,the team and their families,Duke and his family,Kamekona and Flippa,Nahele,Noealani and her fiancé,Nahele,Charlie and Grace even Mary and Joan.They have a great morning and Steve was happy seeing them there.Danny asked everyone to treat him like they would treat everyone else.Joan approaches Steve,Steve gets her on his lap.Joan is curious about why Steve was in the chair although Mary had talked to her.
Joan-Uncke Steve can I ask you a question?
Steve-Anything you want
Joan-Why do you sit at the chair and you don't get up?You are bored of walking?
Danny was close and hears the question,he feels worried about how Steve will take it
Steve-Because I can't walk sweetheart
Joan-What do you mean you can't?You can do anything,you are like a superhero
Steve smiles and so does Danny
Joan-Will you ever walk again
Steve-Yeah,I will,I promise you that,go play with Charlie now
Joan-Okay
She gets off Steve's hug and she goes to play,Danny approaches Steve and he touches his shoulder
Danny-You are her superhero
Steve-(smiles)I am as it seems
They stare at the ocean.After a while they go and they sit at the table.Danny brings the turkey,they raise their glasses
Everyone-Happy Thanksgiving
