"Hypothetically speaking what would you feel if I was pregnant?" Kate asked Mike while standing on the bridge deck.
Mike looks down and then looks back up at Kate. He is unsure what to say to her or even how to say how he is feeling.
Kate looks at him after asking her question. She sees the different emotions passing over his face. When he looks at her she sees from his eyes he is lost.
"Mike are you going to say anything." Kate says to Mike trying not to get emotional
"What do you won't me to say Kate…." Mike says he then looks down at his hands that are on the railing.
"Mike it is just a question" Kate says to him knowing full well it has more meaning than just a question to both of them.
"So it is just a question to you is it X" Mike snaps back at her.
"Mike I just wanted to know how you would feel if I was?" Kate says back to him.
There is silence again between them Mike looks over the docks his hands are gripping the hand rail firming. Several minutes later he talks again.
"I feel lied too Kate, I feel used and most of all Kate I feel hurt…I can't do this…not here…not now." Mike says to Kate. Kate hears the emotion in his voice he is struggling to keep it together in front of her and the crew that might see him. Mike lets go of the rail and start to move away towards the bridge door and he walks past Kate she places a hand on his arm. He looks at her.
"Mike?" Kate says to him. He looks at her. When they lock eyes Kate sees the sorrow, hurt and loss in his eyes.
"I can't" Mike replies just loud enough for Kate to hear. She lets go of his arm and Mike then heads off to the bridge he then opens the door and enters the bridge. Leaving Kate on the bridge deck thinking.
Mike heads to his cabin to think.
