Sam was on evening watch with Spider because Bomber had to prepare dinner for the crew, Spider looked at Sam "Isn't it another lovely Navy day" as he glanced out to sea "Yes I would have to agree with you there" Sam answered and the two sailors didn't notice their senior officers had walked up behind them.

"It does look nice out there tonight" X said to the two junior sailors.

"God you have a talent of doing that to me" Sam answered and was a little annoyed.

The CO had to laugh a little about what had happened he hadn't seen Sam jump like that before "I hope you didn't do that just to get a laugh from everyone?"

"Umm no I just wanted to let you know that you will be dining with me and the CO tonight" X explained.

Spider looked away and was trying so hard not to say anything because the crew was told about Sam being the X's daughter and wouldn't get special treatment because of it.

The two sailors were allowed to take a break for dinner and were replaced until they came back. Sam was honoured to be having dinner with her senior officer's "Is there a reason why because I don't want special treatment?" Sam politely asked.

"Sam there is no reason"

Sam went down below early to talk to Bomber about some things just as she was walking towards the door that leads into the galley she was pulled in "Spider just told me that you are having dinner with X and the boss?" Bomber asked.

"X invited me for some reason" Sam explained.

"That's a first for the X specially while we are at work"

"I gotta say that X hasn't been herself lately because I've also been invited to meet the new commander that has taken over marshall"

"Not everyday an Able Seaman would get that honour make sure you tell me everything afterwards"

"Don't worry I will if I can get away we can go and have a drink"

"Sounds good to me"

Bomber and Sam had finally finished there long chat once Sam had got her plate of food she walked into the Senior sailors mess X saw Sam and pulled her down next to her "Sam I want you to dry clean your whites when we get back because you have to look your best for the new commander" X explained.

Nav nearly choked when she heard what X had just said to Sam "Are you ok Nav?" The junior sailor asked. "Yes I will be alright so Sam I didn't know that you were going?" Nav answered.

"I only just found out myself"

X and the CO had finished once they put their dirty dishes in the galley then walked up to the bridge for watch meanwhile Sam was making her way to her cabin to get some sleep and she kept on thinking about what she could have been doing while she had to be at navcom she really didn't want to go.

Hammersley hit port the next morning and Sam dropped her whites off at the dry cleaners then met up with some of the crew for drinks Sam stayed for a few hours or until her dry cleaning was ready because she had asked them to do it today so she could pick it up later.

Sam finally got home after lunch "Sam come on get ready" X said "God you really do have a talent of scaring the hell out of me"

"It's in my nature"

X and Sam arrived at navcom in record timing once they got a glimpse of the new commander X knew who she was and so did Mike she spotted them and walked over "Hi Mike, Kate" Maxine said then looked at Sam standing next to Kate "Oh my god don't tell me this is Samantha" Kate put a hand on Sam's shoulder "Yes this is Samantha Nicole" Kate answered before Sam could say anything.

"Wow you have grown up quick and you look so much like your mother"

"Thank you" Sam answered.

Sam was quite embarrassed about the whole thing but after a few hours they left once they had gone home Sam flipped through some dvd's to see what she could watch and found this cd with Samantha Nicole Mcgregor's birth written on it then she thought to herself this could be a laugh so she ended up watching it and was shocked to see her boss in it standing next to Kate helping her through the process.

After a while Sam turned it off and had to think about everything she knew that her boss and her mother had been going out at least he wasn't the dad because she heard it that he had done a runner when Kate told him about it the one thing Sam had learned from watching the dvd was that Mike was her god father.

"Samantha dinner is ready" Kate yelled out and Sam walked into the kitchen to get it once she had her dinner Sam put it on the table and got a beer then sat down "Mum how do you know commander White?" Sam asked.

"We met at the academy" Kate answered.

"Ok then how does she know me" Sam asked again.

"I brought you along once when I had to pick something up and that's how she met you" Kate explained.

Sam just nodded and didn't say anything while she was finishing off her dinner she thought to herself I hope that commander White doesn't call me by my full name.
