I do not own anything except for the storyline

Chapter 25

"ahh Kate nice to see you" Marshall as Kate walked into his office, "yes well sir I want to say, Next time Mike asks you for a certain day off make sure he gets it because you should have seen his heart sink when I had to tell him that he wouldn't be comig with me to the ultrasound" Kate said as she sat in a chair. "I'm sorry about that today but unfortunately I can't promise that" Marshall said "oh come on dad/sir, I'm asking you because I know he wouldn't ask you so please" Kate said "what's the date and I'll see what I can do" Marshall said getting his online diary up "Um May 10th is my last one before the due date" Kate said as Marshall wrote it in his diary.

Mike walked of the plane and went to grab his bags to head to the hotel before going to the conference briefing. "Hey Mike I got a message from Kate which means you probably did too" Nikkisaid as they walked into the rooms they were staying in which were all connected via 2 doors. Mike check his phone though he did have a message though it wasn't from Kate but from his answering machine telling him he had a message.

"Hi Mike, it's me Kate
I didn't feel like texting you so I rang but forgot you were still on the plane. I went to talk to Marshall and he has said he will try and promise that you can come to my next ultra sound. I went to my ultrasound the doctor was surprised to hear you weren't coming. Though she said she would see you at the next one. Everything is fine with our babies and I know what gender they are but I'm not sure whether you want to know so I'm not going to tell you. See you when you get back and stay safe for me, Love you"

Mike had tears down his face because he was so annoyed she had to go ask by herself and he had never properly seen their twins only by photos. "Um sir we are going out to dinner, do you want to come with us?" Buffer said as he put on his leather jacket, "yeah I think I will just give me a minute to get ready" Mike said and went to get his shoes . Kate sat in the lounge room watching a mid day movie about some gay guy finding friends. She wondered what Mike was doing and how he was going down in Melbourne because he had now been gone 4 days and she was really beginning to miss him. Kate went to get the mail when the phone started to ring which could either mean good or bad news, I hope this is good news Kate thought as she answered the phone.

"Hello Kate mcgregor"
"Kate it's buffer"
"hey buff what's up"
"Um Mike is... He is.. We were served dinner by the Navy though the guy who prepared it didn't follow Mike's strict information form and served him some fresh Tuna and well Mik has nearly died"
"what, No,No he's not he's fine and can you put him on"
"Listen Kate he's not dead he's just really sick and is being flown up to cairns and he should be landing in about 20 minutes so Marshall is coming to be with you to take you to the hospital"
"Thanks Buff I'll make sure I'm ready"
"Nikki and I are on our way up on the next flight and will see you soon"
"okay thanks Buffer and I'll see you soon"
"Bye"
Kate put the phone down just as Marshall walked into the room and signalled her that they needed to leave.

Kate rushed into the hospital and saw Mike being wheeled in to this room, she followed him but was told she had to wait outside whilst he was being worked on. The doctors came out of the room several hours later with some good news that they had sorted Mike out and he was now breathing calmly. Kate walked into Mike's room and saw him lying there weak. Kate walked over and grabbed his hand "Mike" she sighed.

Kate sat in the chair as Mike slept soundly breathing in a mask, She was reading her book which she had gotten really involved in because of all the spare time she'd had. Mike woke slowly to a quiet room which considering he was at hospital made him curious. He grunted softly which awoke Kate, "hey I didn't know you were awake" Kate said " yeah I haven't been awake long" Mike replied taking off the mask, "no sweetie you have to keep that on because you had an allergic reaction to tuna in your meal" Kate answered. "oh well shouldn't I be down south in hospital?" Mike asked "they transferred you up here because our doctor couldn't get down there" Kate replied. Mike smiled at Kate I'm really lucky that I have Kate but as soon as I get out of here then I'm going to make it official and actually marry her rather than saying I'm going to mike thought to himself as Kate left to get a bottle of water and tell the doctors Mike was awake.

The doctors came in before Kate was back and wheeled him away from that room, what where am I going? How is Kate going to know where to find me? Oh I just want to go home Mike thought as he was wheeled into another room with all these needles and x-ray machines . The doctors ran a few tests on Mike and wheeled him back to his original room, Mike looked around Kate was nowhere to be seen. Now Mike was really confused. Kate walked back into Mikes first room but he wasn't there and it turns out this wasn't a proper hospital it was just decorated like one, Kate walked outside and rang Marshall,
"Hello, Steve Marshall"
"Steve it's Kate"
"hi Kate is there something wrong?"
"yeah Mike had an allergic reaction to the food that the people down south were serving and so he was taken to hospital where he was transferred up here to a hospital and we saw each other but then they took him and now we find out this isn't a real hospital at all but instead decorated like one and now I can't find mike and... and I just want him with me"
"okay Kate I know where you ae and I'm outside the we are going to find Mike and take him to a real hospital to get him looked over and I will stay with you till all this is done"
"Thankyou"
"your welcome I'm 5 minutes away"
"Bye"

Kate put the phone down and went to sit on that bench over on the side, Marshall arrived soon after and gave Kate a hug because he knew this couldn't be easy for her. Marshall stormed in and asked at the reception for a Mike Flynn, "um sorry sir but we don't have a mr Mike Flynn" the receptionist replied "that's rubbish because he was just admitted a short time ago" Marshall argued "nope sorry" the receptionist replied and called for security to escot these people out. "Kate" Nikki shouted as her and Buffer ran in, Kate turned round and Buffer immediately saw the tears in Kate's eyes "Kate what's the matter?" buffer asked "They've taken Mike and they're saying they don't have him but he was taken away when I went to tell the doctors he was awake and he was taken to have some tests run" Kate replied.

Mike awoke to a dark room either it's late at night or I'm just in really darkroom Mike thought as he looked around, he started to move again but this time the room was getting lighter and things were coming more clear around him. Mike knew he was hallucinating but hey he liked it because Kate was right next to him.

Kate stormed down the hall following this little Chinese man who was only obeying orders because buffer had threatened to break all his bones in his body. Kate was taken into this dark room where she saw Mike lying absolutely out to the world and sleeping, Marshall grabbed the top and buffer grabbed the bottom to lead the bed out to the car with the Chinese mans help. Kate sat in the back with Mike and Nikki whilst Marshall drove them to the hospital with Buffer who was still a little paranoid by all that had happened but not more than Kate was. They arrived at the hospital and everyone carried Mike into emergency to have a proper doctor look at him.

*3 weeks later*

Mike slowly walked in the front door form being allowed home from the hospital and telling the police what happened at the make shift hospital where Asians were trying to kill people. "C'mon lets get you to bed because your resting remember" Kate said as she walked in "Yes but I'm only going to bed if your coming with me" Mike said as he made his way up the stairs and into the bedroom. Kate helped Mike into bed and ten went to hop in herself just so he could rest because that was rather what he needed at the moment. Kate lay looking up at the ceiling, it was only 4 in the afternoon ad she couldn't sleep so she decided she would go for a walk along the beach just to clear her head.

Kate sat down and gazed out to sea, her mind was racing like a wild horse on a race track. So much had happened in the last couple of weeks and now Mike couldn't really do anything major except rest and he as a person has changed which was really annoying her because she wanted her Mike back. "Hey what are you doing out here?" Nikki said as she sat down next to Kate "yeah well Mike is just not the same anymore and I don't know what to do, Nik I just want my Mike back and all this has happened because of that stupid trip to Melbourne" Kate began to cry though Nikki just sat comforting her "Kate, Mike is sick and he will recover over time you just have to wait" Nikki explained as she led Kate back to the house and said goodbye. Kate made Mike a jug of tea and took it up to him.

The next morning Kate sat on the deck watching the sun rise and just thinking about all that had happened in the past year which brought tears in her eyes. Mike walked out on the deck and found Kate sitting on the chair so he decided he would si next to her. Kate felt someone sit next to her and wiped her eyes before looking over "hey what are you doing out of bed?" she asked "what can't I spend time with you my beautiful fiancé?" Mike replied "when you're not sick, remember what the doctor said 'after all you've been through you just need to rest' so come on back to bed" Kate said and got up from the couch and waited for mike to get up "but I don't feel sick and someone told me that you wanted your mike back so here he is" Mike said requesting that Kate sit down again but she wasn't budging "c'mon I have to take care of you and you need 1 maybe 2 more days in bed because you only came out of hospital yesterday" Kate said helping Mike upstairs and into bed.

Kate sat on the couch watching t.v when she heard the doorbell ring, who could this be? Kate thought. Kate opened the door to fine all the Hammersley ladies standing in front of her and Buffer. "we're here to take you out and have some fun" Nikki said as she walked inside with Kate "Nikki that's sweet but I have to look after Mike" Kate replied "yeah but that's why we brought buffer along" Nikki replied as Kate went to finish getting ready. "Mike sweetheart I'm going out for a while but buffer is downstairs if you need anything or I'm just a phone call away" Kate said as she gave him a kiss on the forhead and left to go out.

Mike woke up to an empty bed and a quiet house he was confused considering he was sure last time that he was still in hospital and had only just got back from Melbourne because he had an allergic reaction to that stupid tuna. Mike got up and read the letter on his bedside table;
Mike
I have gone out for a girls day out with the girls though I shall be back later but don't worry Buffer is down stairs so you don't have to worry about calling me because you were asleep when I left. Love you and I'll see you later.
Kate xxx

Kate sat at a restaurant having afternoon tea before they were going to head home because they had done so much shopping it was not funny though Kate mainly went shopping or baby clothes as now she knew the gender of the twins but as mike didn't she wasn't going to show him the clothes but as the fact he wasn't well anyway. "the clothes are absolutely beautiful and thanks all of you for helping me especially as there is only 3 months to go till the little ones arrive" Kate said as she walked back to their cars and went home.

Kate thanked buffer and dismissed him to go have some food and she would take care of Mike from here. "Kate?" Mike said as he walked downstairs "Mike shouldn't you be resting because you couldn't do anything before but sleep" Kate said "nope because that was the sick Me and i the original Mike is Back" Mike said and Kate believed him, she was just happy he was back and not still sick.

A review would be greatly appreciated.
