Chapter 29 – possibilities
Sorry guys its all description (nearly)
I do not own nothing
A few days had passed since she last saw few and within those last few days a lot had happened. She had helped Nikki get into touch with her unborn child's Grandparents, spoke to Marshall with Nikki, gone to the first anti natal with Nikki and been shopping with her for the first time to get the first baby bits and maternity clothes.
She had spent the last few days helping Nikki and had no time to herself. Not get Kate wrong she wanted to be there for Nikki, it was a difficult time for anyone who was having a child let alone someone having a child when the father had passed away only a few months ago. So yeah she wanted to be there for Nikki. But Kate just felt so exhausted now that she needed some time to herself.
Kate was still off work because of the crash, she wasn't hurt but Marshall thought it was best to have some days off, he was nice like that. After all, he had given Nikki a desk job in Cairns straight away usually there was like a waiting list, but he thought Nikki deserved the best especially after what she had been through.
He had also given the crew on Hammersley a few more days off because Becca was still recovering from the crash and all. And the crew cant sail without and XO. Yes, Marshall had given Rebecca the executive officer's position to Becca. After all, she again deserved it. She worked hard to get where she was now, and she was the best candidate for the job. Nikki also gave a glowing reference which helped the decision along.
Kate had just finished feeding the children and put them into their cots for a sleep. Kate put her feet up on the sofa and was off into a deep sleep after all she hadn't been sleeping well after the crash and she had so much going through her mind at night, it never seemed to rest.
Mike came downstairs and knew that Kate was exhausted. She looked like death warmed up this morning so he was glad when she was getting some sleep. He found a blanket that was upstairs and draped it over her whilst she slept.
This was the first time Kate had got a proper sleep in ages, because usually when she went to sleep she had, had a reoccurring dream that took it out of her.
She was dreaming about her childhood. She had a tough upbringing with her adoptive parents, sometimes she wondered how they ever got custody of her. Her adoptive parents were in there mid thirties when they first adopted her as a 2 day old baby.
Her first memory of her childhood is when her mother used to tuck her into bed when she was about five and then go out the house after that. She always left at the same, she never really knew what she was doing. She guessed something that normal people didn't do but she didn't want to know anymore. Her mother at first always seemed like a loving parent but behind closed doors lots of alcohol was involved and it wasn't like a normal family.
He adoptive dad worked long hours and when he came home he demanded that his tea was to be cooked a certain way, if it wasn't he lashed out. Everything had to be perfect otherwise bad things happened. She didn't want to remember anymore so she blocked everything out from her memory. Only her knew about everything, well that was until she told Mike the whole story when they got together the second time and things got more serious.
Mike was shocked to hear how Kate was brought up, the home life she had when she was younger, the adoption, everything. It upset him to think that Kate was treated like that. No child deserved to be treated like that. It was unbelievable how such people can adopt a child. Hopefully it was a lot more difficult to adopt nowadays.
Kate woke up startled, she had only been asleep about an hour. Mike noticed her jump when she woke and wondered what the matter was.
"What is the matter hunnie?" Mike asked.
"I had that dream again, it keeps occurring and I don't know why. Its the same dream every time and I just don't want it to keep happening, I am fed up of it, I don't want to remember anymore, I want to forget about my childhood. I don't want to remember them," Kate replied through tears.
"Okay, okay, okay," Mike said gently calming Kate down successfully.
"I've just had enough of it, I can't sleep because of it, why do I keep having it?" Kate asked Mike.
"I don't know darling. I know this is probably going to sound strange, but maybe it is like a sign of something," Mike said.
"A sign or something? Like what?" Kate asked.
"I don't know, maybe like that deep down you want to find out who your real parents are, your biological ones," Mike replied.
"Yeah Mike, you actually might have a good point. Ever since Nikki came last week I've always wanted to find them, but with everything going on and it being so busy, I just haven't thought about it," She replied.
Kate knew this is what she wanted, she wanted her real parents to know who she was, she wanted to know why they gave her up for adoption, she wanted them to meet their grandchildren. She had too many unanswered questions and now she needed the answers to them.
"Well, as soon as the wedding is over, and we have more time to spend on it, why don't we start looking then?" Mike asked.
That was perfect, everything was sorted for the wedding it was only a week away. It was all exciting.
Half of her wanted to meet her real parents, but the other half didn't. She looked at her own three children, how could any parent give their child up for adoption she thought to herself.
"Thank you Mike, thanks for your support in this, I really need you right now," Kate said very timidly.
"What are Fiancés for? Well nearly husband," Mike smiled.
Mike leaned over and gave Kate a kiss on the lips.
"I love you nearly Mrs Kate Flynn,"
"I love you too, nearly husband."
Both Mike and Kate laughed. They really did have a perfect relationship and second time was a lot better than the first relationship they had together. This was more solid.
It was perfect.
Please review thank you :D
