Many weeks later
Its was the day of the baby shower and the whole crew was there, Kate was 39 weeks pregnant and with the help of Nav and Bomber, Alexia's room was almost finished.
They assembled out on the deck waiting for Nav and Kate to appear when they heard Nav yell "SWAIN!".
Swain and Mike ran down the hallway and into the kitchen were they found Nav beside Kate her water had broken, Ro was on the phone to the ambulance, Bomber was getting Kate and the baby some clothes and Nav was on the phone to Marshall.
The ambulance arrived to take Kate to hospital Mike got in and noticed everyone following behind, they reached the hospital, the loud and excited sailors followed as they waited in the waiting room, Bomber and Nav finally had a middle name they were both happy with, they walked into Kate's room both with smiles on there faces.
"We have it" Bomber said excitedly.
"Well, what is it then" replied Kate the suspense was killing her.
"Alexia Mackenzie Flynn" replied Nav.
Kate loved it, she called Mike in Buffer following, Kate telling him the name an instant hit. Buffer stood beside Mike he was alexia's godfather.
2 hours passed and Kate was in labour and soon enough Mike and Kate would be parents and Nav, Bomber and Buffer would be godparents.
With the final push they heard the cry of there new baby, the whole crew was crammed into Kate's room as they all admired there newest sailor, Mike settled everyone down as he announced her name.
"Everyone meet Alexia Mackenzie Flynn" Mike yelled, his crew cheering as they all headed to the pub for celebrations which left Mike and Kate alone with Alexia, they sat there admiring there little angel when Kate got out the little boots Mike had given her a couple of months ago.
Commander Marshall arrived at the hospital to give Mike some good news.
"Hey Mike good news I've managed to get your crew a week's shore leave" said Marshall.
"Thank you sir I appreciate it" replied Mike. Steve walked over to Kate, she laid asleep with Alexia in her arms.
"She's beautiful" stated Marshall a smile spread across his face.
"Thankyou sir" replied Mike.
"What's her name?" asked Marshall.
" Alexia Mackenzie Flynn" replied Mike as Marshall started to leave to the room.
"I'll leave you three, enjoy your leave and congratulations Mike". Mike made his way over to his fiancé taking his chance to hold his child and to let Kate get some rest, pacing around the room admiring his child.
2 days later
Kate was released from hospital and was aloud to bring Alexia home finally and in a couple of weeks Kate would be getting married. Kate didn't want anything fancy except to marry the man she loved, a simple ceremony on the beach and then back to Kate's place were Bomber had everything ready for lunch.
Kate settled Alexia down and put her to bed and was surprised she slept for 5 hours, Mike watched on as Kate fed her and to think Kate was worried about not knowing what to do she was a natural, they once again put her to bed and went to bed themselves, Kate snuggled up to Mike falling fast asleep sinking into his arms.
Nav arrived with a partial hangover.
"How much did you drink last night?" asked Kate
"I don't quite remember much after the shots, but I do remember Bomber kicking 2Dad's arse" replied Nikki at least she didn't feel like crap after last night.
Kate paced around the kitchen as Nikki made some coffee, they sat down on the deck chatting, Nikki finally getting a nurse of Alexia her tiny fingers wrapped around her finger, she was slowly drifting off to sleep peacefully.
Mike walked through the door greeted by his gorgeous girls, Kate was pacing around the room Alexia in her arms, Mike gently pacing Alexia into her cot while Kate stood beside him placing a soft blanket on Alexia. Kate walked out into the kitchen making herself a salad sitting down on the couch, Mike sat down beside her as she slowly ate her salad she was exhausted, leaning into Mike he picked her up carrying her into bed.
"Don't worry ill feed Alexia, you just get some sleep" Mike softly said, Kate fell asleep and Mike had everything covered.
One week remained before Kate and Mike were to get married and Kate had spotted the perfect dress well Nav spotted it, it was a soft pink dress knee length perfect for the beach.
