They fuck their way through the second trimester, and by the sound of things Chin and Malia are pretty much doing the same. Danny really could have lived without knowing that Chin is loud, and the fact that the curses he comes out with make Steve blush is frankly disconcerting. But Danny just bites his tongue and tries to avoid staring at the lovebirds when they slink down for breakfast, because if anyone deserves wall-slamming, bed-breaking reunion sex it’s Chin and Malia.
By and large things are going good, even if Danny’s opted out of having The Talk with Steve more than once. More than twice. OK, maybe a lot, but for whatever reason Steve is letting him, and not making any moves of his own. Which is fine. Things are stable; everyone’s happy and getting along, even Kono and Malia. Especially Kono and Malia, but Danny is not even going there. The point is, why rock the boat? Danny hates getting wet.
Of course, what Danny hasn’t counted on is that they live in Hawaii, where everybody knows everybody. Somebody spots him buying prenatal vitamins or something, because the next time he goes to drop off Grace Rachel is waiting to interrogate him about his mysterious new girlfriend and their apparent love-child.
“There’s no girlfriend. Just Steve,” Danny blurts out, and then winces because that was maybe not the best way to start this conversation.
Rachel’s eyebrows disappear up behind her fringe. “Oh. A surrogate, then? ”
Yeah, that’s as good an explanation as any. “Rachel…”
“It’s awfully soon, isn’t it? Or perhaps it’s not. You know, we really should get together for dinner, the four of us, and…”
“No.”
“Daniel, really…”
“Not yet, OK? I don’t want to say anything to Grace right now. This whole… thing wasn’t exactly planned, not by me anyway, and I don’t know where it’s headed. Steve’s the… the father, but he’s kind of touchy and if he changes his mind about me, or whatever, I just don’t want to let Gracie in for a world of hurt.”
