A/N: Okay, so this is my first Sea Patrol fan fiction so apologies if it is dreadful. I have written Harry Potter ones in the past and have decided because I am obsessed with Sea Patrol, have literally read all the fan fictions based on it on this website and own all three seasons on DVD that it might be about time for me to attempt to write one. That and I'm crazy bored and really do not feel like writing a psychology lab report for uni at the moment. I've decided to write this story about my favorite couple, Mike and Kate, whom, in my opinion, are made for each other and really need to get their act together on the show. Reviews would be really helpful as I haven't written a fan fiction, let alone any sort of fiction, in months. Also let me know what you thought about the first episode of season 4. If you haven't seen it yet there may be a couple of spoilers for episode one of season four which I will apologise for now and put a warning about in the blurb of this fic but if you have flick me a review and tell me what your favorite part is. I know mine.

Warning!: I say again this fic may have spoilers for season four of Sea Patrol. Also I am rating it T to be cautious. If I write any M-rated content I will put a warning at the beginning of that chapter.

Disclaimer: Don't own the show or the characters unfortunately. Just the storyline. Which I hope you like. Enjoy!

Baby Flynn

"Mike," said Kate, a warning edge to the tone of her voice as she watched the aforementioned man pace around the small, rectangular, white-walled room his thoughts clearly somewhere else. "Mike!" she snapped and he looked at her in surprise, his slightly wounded expression conveying that he hadn't heard her the first hundred times she had called his name nor did he understand why she was snapping at him. "Would you please sit down?" she asked him pleadingly, "All your pacing is making me nervous."

"But Kate," he whined, sounding astoundingly like a complaining two year-old, "I'm pacing because I'm nervous!" Kate glared at him but he ignored her, unconsciously twisting the wedding band on his left finger as he walked, She still couldn't believe they'd been happily married for six months. Of course there had been a couple of minor disagreements in the early days of the marriage. Mike had learnt the hard way that he couldn't pull rank on Kate at home and that she was in charge where there marriage was concerned but it gave him a small satisfaction that whenever they were at NAVCOM together she still had to refer to him as 'sir'.

"Mike!" Kate pleaded again, her already stretched patience waning, and Mike looked at her again continuing his pacing, his thoughts still far away but the gleam of a challenge appearing in his eyes. Kate closed her eyes and uttered a silent prayer for both strength and forgiveness before slipping into lieutenant mode. "Michael Flynn!"she said, calmly yet menacingly, "If you do not sit down this instant I swear to God I will make you sorry you married me!" Mike stopped pacing and looked at her, his blue eyes searching her green for a sign she was bluffing, causing him to pause long enough for her to grab his arm and yank him into the seat next to her. She was surprisingly strong for such a small person.

Mike sighed, leaning against the back of his chair, and wrapped Kate's small hand up in both his large ones, marveling at the softness of her skin even after years of them being together. He knew she wasn't going to allow him to get up again until the appointment was over so he might as well resign himself to remaining seated. "Why are you so nervous?" inquired Kate, looking him in the eye so he couldn't lie to her. He decided, instead of answering, to avoid her question by asking the same one back. "Why are you nervous?" he asked, trying to appear innocent. "I'm not!" she said but her glance at her hands, away from his eyes as she answered gave her away. "You said you were." he said, hoping to distract her from insisting on him answering her original question. "No," she replied, "I said 'you' were making me nervous," placing unnecessary stress upon the word 'you'. "And you still haven't answered my question," she said, looking him in the eye again.

He sighed again, unable at the moment to think of anything worse then sitting in the office of your wife's doctor, waiting for results of a test that could change your entire life. Maybe getting hit in the leg with that piece of shrapnel was slightly more unpleasant than this but at the moment it was a pretty close call. It wasn't so much that the actual result of the test was getting to him. It was more the unknown, the waiting. He stalled answering her question by thinking back over last night...

* * *

She really couldn't have picked a worse time to talk to him. He was lying in bed, his beautiful wife wrapped in his arms and was just drifting off to sleep. "Mike?" Kate said, the inquiring tone to her voice clearly indicating that she was wondering whether or not he was asleep yet. "Mmph?" he replied which appeared to be enough for her to continue talking. "I have to go to the doctor tomorrow to get the results of a test. Will you come with me?" her voice sounded slightly nervous. "Yeah,"said Mike sleepily, "but if its just a routine test why do you want me there?" "We-ell," said Kate, drawing the word out into two syllables, "It's not exactly routine." Mike began to get worried then. "Is there something wrong with you Kate?" he asked, turning the light on to see her face. She rolled over to face him, smiling slightly, "I wouldn't exactly say wrong," she replied. Mike was tired of her hedging, worried and really wanted to go to sleep so he decided this situation warranted his 'captain's voice' as Kate called it. "Kate," he said warningly, frowning at her, "what is going on?" She continued to smile at him and drew breath to reply. "I think I might be pregnant."

* * *

It wasn't that he didn't want kids. He did, He always had. The fact that they would be Kate's children also made it even better. He just didn't want to face the disappointment. He looked Kate in the eyes and decided finally to answer her question. "I'm nervous because I'm worried that the test result might be negative." She looked slightly confused so he explained, his gaze wandering as he searched for the right way to say this. "Kate, I really want to have children. I've always wanted children and the fact that I might get to have them with you makes me want them even more. And now that I've had a whole night thinking about it I'm really worried that I've got all excited and you won't be. Pregnant, I mean." He looked her in the eye again and saw that she was smiling, relieved at finally understanding why he had spent so much time pacing. She wished now that she had waited for the results before telling him anything but last night she realised she didn't want to be alone, in case the test was negative. She was nervous too but she had to think of someway to reassure him, if only to stop him fidgeting so much. "Look,"she said, exhaling before continuing, "if its positive, we're having a baby." She saw his face light up at the thought. A little baby, a boy. A miniature version of him but with her eyes. She continued before he could get to far into his fantasy. "But if its negative," she said, taking a breath and looking him in the eyes again, "we didn't plan this, we didn't even expect it so its not the end of the world." She sounded as though she was trying to convince herself as much as him. "And we can always try again," she finished, throwing him a seductive glance. He grinned at this, her favorite grin. The one that was slightly lopsided, that made her bones turn to jelly and that he reserved especially for her.

"Mr and Mrs Flynn?" they heard and looked up as Kate's doctor entered the room. "I'm Doctor Mercer." she introduced herself to Mike, shaking his hand before moving around to sit behind her desk. "Now, I have the results of your test Mrs Flynn. As you know we did a couple of tests to check for a wide variety of things that may have been causing your symptoms so I'll take you through the results now." Kate nodded and her and Mike exchanged a nervous glance, Mike holding Kate's hand stroking it soothingly. Doctor Mercer smiled at them, "Okay, so your red and white blood cell count was perfectly normal which is good." Kate nodded again. "Your haem iron count is within an acceptable range so you're not anemic and your cholesterol level is excellent. Nice and low. Now as to the results of your other test." Mike breathed out slowly and Kate squeezed his hand reassuringly. Dr Mercer smiled, wider than before and spoke again. "I'm pleased to tell you that you are, in fact pregnant, as you suspected. Congratulations, you're going to be parents." Kate laughed as Mike threw his arms around her in happiness, relieved that the wait was over and ecstatic that he was going to be a father.

Later that night Kate lay on the lounge, wrapped in Mike's arms as his fingers traced lazy circles on her abdomen. "Boy or girl?" she asked him, smiling happily. "Boy." said Mike immediately. "Of course." Kate replied, laughing softly as he tickled her ribs in punishment for her comment. "I suppose you think its a girl?" he asked Kate. "Naturally,"she said back, "It is a girl. Don't forget I'm always right." She said, turning over to smile cheekily at him. "Whatever you say dear." Mike replied, leaning in to kiss her, far too happy to start a fight.

A/N: Well I hope you liked it. I'm open to any suggestions for future chapters. I'm not too sure where its going to head yet. I'm considering twins maybe but I'm still undecided. Let me know what you think!
