Nikki was standing on the pier waiting for the HMAS Hammersley to dock. She had wanted to see Et because she had missed him so much and couldn't stand been away from him much longer. When they docked Et was the first one off the ship. He didn't even say hello he just hugged her and held her tight and wasn't planning on letting her go.

"I missed you so much" Nikki said burying her head into Et's chest

"I missed you too" Et said.

When she finally let go, Et told Nikki that he had a few things to take care of and would be home as soon as possible. When Nikki got home she started wondering what those things were that Et had to do. She knew something was up but she wasn't quite sure what it was. So she decided to wait until Et got home and then figure it out.

When Et arrived home he informed Nikki that he was taking her our for dinner. It was now that Nikki started to get really suspicious and had no idea what was going on so she decided to go along with Et's little plan. Nikki walked out of their room wearing a blue strapless dress.

"You look beautiful" Et said standing their looking amazed

"Well you don't look half bad either" Nikki said standing in front of Et.

"You ready to go?" asked Et

"Yer" Nikki said

"Let's go then" Et said grabbing hold of Nikki's hand.

When they arrived at the restaurant they were seated at a table outside, luckily it was warm because Nikki didn't bother to put a Jacket on. When the waiter came they ordered steak and lobster. When the waiter had gone Nikki turned and watched the waves roll in on to the beach. She loved the sound of the ocean, it was calming. When she turned around Et was gone she looked around and then she noticed that next to her there was Et kneeling on one knee with a diamond ring in his hand.

"Nikki I love you so much and I couldn't imagine my life without you. Nikki Caetano will you be my wife?" Et said hoping like hell she would say yes

"Yes Josh, Of course I'll marry you" Nikki said jumping out her seat and giving Et a passionate kiss

"I Love you" Nikki said

"I love you too" Et said and then placed the ring on her finger. I was a simple ring with a single diamond in the middle.

After they had finished their meal they decided they would take a walk on the beach. They made a decision that the wedding would take place on the 1st November that they would get married on the beach where they had their first kiss.

The next morning Et got a phone call to say that Hammersley had been tasked and had to leave that morning but would be back later that afternoon. Nikki was very sad because she wanted to spend the day with her new fiancé. Et wasn't really that impressed either.

They decided that they were going to tell the crew later on that evening at the pub. Nikki wasn't going to meet Et when they docked either because one of the crew especially Spider might see her engagement ring but Nikki rang her mum and dad to tell them that she and Et were getting married. The only thing her brothers said was that if he hurt her they were going to hunt him down and make him regret anything that he may have done to her. Nikki thought this was funny because she knew Et would never mean to hurt her.

Et walked onto the ship and couldn't help but smile because this ship had turned his whole life around he found the woman that he loved on it.
