Mele Kalikimaka [Steve McGarrett] 🎄
Description: Baby McGarrett is due December 25th.
Warnings: labor?
A/N: Day 4 of 12 Days of Christmas!
Y/N had been feeling "ick", as she described it for two weeks. She thought it was just a cold, but her husband, Steve, made her set up an appointment with her doctor.
Steve has decided to go with her, so they both told the rest of the Five-O team they would be in afterwards.
As they sat in the waiting room, Steve's arm around Y/N's shoulders, they talked about weekend plans.
"I think if you're feeling better we should have a couple of beers." Steve says.
"A beer, or a glass of wine. They both sound amazing."
Eventually they were called back and Y/N was examined by the nurse and as always, was asked the question.
"Is there any chance you could be pregnant Mrs. McGarrett?"
Y/N looks at Steve, then back to the nurse.
"Yes."
"Ok, I'll go get you a pregnancy test to take, and then after you're done and the results come back I will send the doctor in."
"Thank you." Y/N says. The nurse leaves the room and she turns to her husband. "Do you really think I could be pregnant?"
"Yeah. We weren't actively trying, but we also weren't using any birth control." Steve replies and grabs her hand. "You know I want to have children with you and now is as good as a time then any other."
"Yeah. It is."
After taking the test and getting the results Y/N and Steve go back to work with smiles on their faces. Everyone was at the table looking into a drug trafficking ring.
Their heads pop up when the door opens and the married couple walks in.
"Hey! How'd it go?" Tani asks.
"Well, I'm not sick." Y/N smiles.
"Ok?" Danny drags.
"She's pregnant. Just a day over two months and the baby is due Christmas Day." Steve looks at Y/N lovingly.
"Oh my god!" Tani exclaims, rushing around the table to give Y/N a hug.
Adam, Danny, Junior and Lou all do "bro" handshakes with Steve congratulating him before moving onto Y/N.
After all of the excitement died down, Danny spoke up.
"I bet you all twenty bucks that baby is born on Christmas Day."
§§§
Y/N was awake bright and early the morning of Christmas Eve. Five to be exact. Their baby girl had been laying on her bladder for the entirety of her last trimester, so like clockwork every thirty minutes she had to pee.
It might also be because she's excited for the Christmas parade. Danny, Charlie, Grace, Mary and Joanie are going, so she is excited to spend time with her family.
"Baby girl wake you up again babe?" Steve asks as he walks down the stairs to see Y/N laying in the couch reading "What to Expect When You're Expecting" with Eddie.
"Yeah. We're excited for the parade." She looked up at her husband with a big smile. Steve chuckled and pressed a kiss to her head before heading into the kitchen.
After spending most of the morning watching Christmas movies they got ready for the parade and left to meet everyone else.
They met Mary and Joanie in the parking lot, then met Danny, Grace and Charlie on the street.
Everyone had been super excited for the arrival of baby McGarrett, especially Charlie, Joanie, and Grace.
"Aunt Y/N?" Charlie asks as he stands in front of her and Steve to see the parade.
"Yeah Charlie?"
"When is my baby cousin going to be born?"
"I think the baby is going to be born tomorrow." Danny says and Mary agrees.
"Yeah she's a McGarrett, tomorrow will be the day for her grand entrance."
"Have you had any contractions?" Steve asks as he adjusts Joanie in his arms.
"Just a few Braxton Hicks here and there. I do have constant pressure in my lower stomach though, so that means the baby is dropping into the birth canal." Y/N says as she rubs her belly with a smile.
§§§
Throughout the parade Y/N had pain in her back, but she figured it was just from standing, so she leaned against Steve and he rubbed her back as good as he could standing up.
At the end the group decided to get brunch, so as Mary was putting her bags in her car, Y/N picked Joanie up off of the ground to put her in the car seat but a pain caused her to stop lifting the toddler.
"Ow. Ow. Ow." She says and puts her hand on her stomach, then she feels something pop and fluid runs down her legs.
"Oh my god. Did your water just break?!" Mary exclaims as she rushes to grab her daughter from Y/N.
Steve, who was putting the stroller in the trunk rushes to his wife's side.
"Yeah. It did, and I'm having a contraction." She grunts.
"Ok. Danny can you go get our hospital bags from our house and drop Eddie off with Tani?" Steve asks.
"Yeah. Yeah, of course. Go!" Danny replies excitedly.
Steve helps Y/N into the truck before rushing to his side and starting the vehicle.
"Let's go have a baby!"
§§§
After thirteen hours of labor, Malia Noelle McGarret was born at one thirty-five in the morning weighing seven pounds fourteen ounces and twenty inches in length.
Her parents sat in the hospital bed that afternoon after being cleaned up and sleeping for a bit, with Malia in Steve's arms just staring at her.
"God she's so beautiful." Steve gushes.
"She is. Can you believe she's ours?" Y/N asks quietly.
"We don't deserve her. She's perfect. I don't ever want anything for Christmas again. You cannot top this Y/N. Thank you for giving me my baby girl." Steve says with tears building up in his eyes.
"Thank you for making me her mommy." She kisses him on the cheek as he continues to stare at Malia with adoration.
"Mele Kalikimaka, Malia."
Witch doctor tiki! 🦎🐛🍃🍄 That one was a reeally quick commission for a very special person~ They said, they wanted a Tiki. One word and i immediatley had this picture in mind! Sooo, maybe you could give me some constructive critisism? :) If you don't know how to describe, what to improve, you could just mention the things, which look a little strange or not right! That would be a really big help for me! (In all my posts might be some english errors, but i try to improve that. It's a little bit funny, because i am actually not that bad in english class, but if i feel preassure in any way, i immediatley will become very bad at things, i am normally good at.😫) Hope you all have a nice weekend!😜✌️ #tiki #hawaii #witchdoctor #sharman #crazy #crazydrawing #myart #digitalart #freaky #art #freakyart #creepy #native #tribe #jungle #junglevibes #cannibal #witch #magic #blackmagic #darkspirit #voodoo #lizzyeatsart
⋆·˚ ༘ * These are a couple photo’s I found of Elvis with fans. I think he’s in Hawaii, but either way, it’s always so cute seeing Elvis with his fans. There was never a preformed before, or after Elvis, who treated their fans like he did. Even as one of the most famous men, if not, the most famous man, he was still very humble & true. It’s admirable, & under appreciated. ⋆·˚ ༘ *

ressource thread !!
When historians wrote that the [Hawaiian] king owned the land and the common people were bound to it, they were saying that ownership was the only way human beings in their world could relate to the land, and in that relationship, some one person had to control both the land and the interaction between humans. And when they said that our chiefs were despotic, they were telling of their own society, where hierarchy always resulted in domination. Thus, any authority or elder was automatically suspected of tyranny. And when they wrote that Hawaiians were lazy, they meant that work must be continuous and ever a burden. And when they wrote that we were promiscuous, they meant that lovemaking in the Christian West was a sin. And when they wrote that we were racist because we preferred our own ways to theirs, they meant that their culture needed to dominate other cultures. And when they wrote that we were superstitious, believing in the mana of nature and people, they meant that the West has long since lost a deep spiritual and cultural relationship to the earth. And when they wrote that Hawaiians were ‘primitive’ in their grief over the passing of loved ones, they meant that the West grieves for the living who do not walk among their ancestors.
