Kate hadn't spoken to Mike properly since the incident last week 2Dads had kidnapped a baby crocodile which ended up with Kate and Mike having a argument, which also lead to them sleeping together, their form of an apology.
Kate was disappointed when Mike came back on the boat, when they had a chance they spoke to each other, a few nights after their time together about giving things another shot however all that changed when he showed up back on board. After that they had both agreed to not pursue anything because of 'Navy Regulations' neither one of them wanted to loose their job no matter how much they cared for each other.
Mike was put back on Hammersley as CO. Maxine told him it would be temporary.
Temporary turned into weeks which turned into months. More and more frustrated feelings and sexual tensions was causing problems between Mike and Kate.
The crew were given shore leave for Christmas, 2 months of being able to relax and spend time with family. In the mean time the BRASS tried to find a new CO as Mike was up for promotion, which meant a Shore posting. Mike never wanted a shore posting but part of him wanted to move up in the ladder which also gave him the opportunity to move things ahead with Kate as they wouldn't be serving together anymore.
Maxine knew Mike and Kate had a thing together once before, she heard the rumors of a young blonde stupid and her instructor at ADFA. Neither had confirmed the rumors but she saw the way they worked closely together. There was history there you could tell by the way they looked at each other, especially when they thought no one was watching.
Most of the crew had gone home to see their family's for Christmas, most of them leaving just after they docked 5 days prior.
Mike was planning on going to Sydney to see his Mum,Dad,Sister and Nephew for Christmas but left it too late and he had to change his plans when all flights out of Cairns were cancelled due to wild weather conditions.
Kate was just going to spend Christmas curled up on the couch watching movies especially her favorite 'South Pacific' it wasn't a Christmas movie but it always cheered her up around this time of the year.
She wouldn't get to spend it with her Adoptive Family as they were in Hawaii until the New Year.Her real Mother died when she was 2 in a Drink driving accident and she never knew her Father. She didn't have any brothers or sisters and when her Mother died she was sent into Foster Care.
Living in the system was hard she was always moved from home to home never really fitted in until a loving family took her in at the age of 4.Her Adoptive parents were named Edward and Lynette McGregor.They took Kate in as a temporary foster child until Kate and their son Liam who was 8 at the time formed a bond so strong they just had to adopt her making her a part of their family forever and becoming a 'McGregor' she never knew her birth last name.
She never told anyone she was adopted because to her it didn't feel like she was adopted she had a loving family. The only person who knew was Mike, he had found out when looking through her full record at ADFA.
Christmas Eve
Mike made his way to the shops on his way home to get supplies seeing as he wasn't going to Sydney, on his way home he stopped by Kates house, parking on the nature strip he looked towards her house looking for any signs that she was home his theory was confirmed when he saw a sparkling Christmas Tree lit up in the window and her Kitchen Light on.
He got out of his car grabbing a bottle of wine from the back seat, he made his way towards Kate's front door he noticed it was open the wire door hiding the inside contents of her home, he was going to knock but he heard singing coming from the direction of the kitchen so he made his way in quietly. Making his way in he came to the sight of Kate dancing around her kitchen while singing 'Dancing Queen' also attempting to make some Scrambled Eggs.
"Never thought I'd see a sight like this" Mike chuckled scaring Kate and making her drop the frying pan with her eggs in it.
"Mike... what are you doing here?" she aksed as she bent down to clean up her eggs.
"I brought some wine" he said holding the bottle up as she put the remainder of her 'floor' eggs in the bin and fry pan in sink
"I thought you were going to Sydney?" she asked grabbing 2 wine glasses from the cupboard above her
"Yeah I was supposed to be, but they canceled my flight due to wild weather" he said opening the wine and pouring some in each glass
"I didn't even notice I was watching a movie until I got hungry" she laughed as she motioned for him to move towards the lounge
"I thought you'd be with your Mum this year" Mike asked as he sat on the couch
"Yeah well, I was supposed to be but Dad surprised Mum with tickets to Hawaii last week"
"What about your brother?"
"He's in Melbourne for a work conference"
"He's working on Christmas Eve?" Mike asked shocked
"Yeah, you know Liam he's a workaholic" Kate laughed as she put her glass on the coffee table, Mike following suite.
"So I guess we're both alone on Christmas Eve then" Mike said as he moved on the couch to face her
"I guess so" Kate said moving to face Mike
Mike moved closer as he placed a hand on Kate's thigh, instinctively Kate moved closer to Mike "We can't..." but before she could say anymore Mike kissed her lips softly as he pulled away Kate placed a hand on his cheek
"We shouldn't be doing this" Kate said pulling Mike down to her as she layed back on the couch
"Definitely not.." Mike answered as hovered above her kissing her passionately
Lips never leaving Mike pulled himself up off the couch and manoeuvred Kate up with him as he walked them towards her bedroom, clothes being thrown in all directions as they crashed onto the bed.
As they Explored each others touch they just forgot about the real world, later falling alseep in each others arms before they had to wake up and face the consequences of their Passionate night together.
