Steve visits his 'old friend' to share some happy news.

John McGarrett's death is a horrendous blow to Steve, no explanations needed. But with his and Catherine's deep involvement in the case revolving around Anton Hesse, they start to believe that maybe the murder of his father wasn't just purely hinged on revenge. Possible hidden motives are questioned, risks are heightened, and ghosts of their pasts slink back to haunt them.

Steve feels lost and abandoned on Christmas, but maybe there is some hope... Someone brings him light and warmth. This is the story of Steve and Cath's first Christmas together.

Steve was trained to deal with many occurences, but 'this' one is a completely new thing for him.

He knows Catherine, she would trespass into North Korea on her own if needed and drag his corpse back home... Small glimpse into Steve's thoughts during 2.10.

Sometimes the best present you can get on Christmas is seeing someone's face. Even thousand miles apart, Steve still can surprise Cath in the best way.

Steve realizes how important to him is intertwining their Christmas traditions.

She thought it was all in the past. She thought she had managed to put it all behind her, her life now taking on a new direction. But seeing him now moved her in a way she wasn't expecting.

Someone is sitting beside her bed, dirty camo and heavy gear is all she can recognize at first, his face is covered in dark camo painting, so it takes a moment for her concussion-strained mind to piece the puzzles toghether.

Sometimes a small token can evoke the strongest feelings. Especially given with a meaningful promise.

There's a first time for everything. Especially first kiss...

Her sudden presence on his porch was like a blinding flare dispersing the thick darkness that surrounded him.
