"I think Charlotte and Liam like you" Kate said later that night when they were snuggling on the couch with Kate's head resting on Mikes lap

"You think?" he asked brushing his hand softly through her hair

"Charlotte was besotted with you" she said giggling

"I don't know why" he said smirking at her

"She couldn't stop staring at you" Kate said looking up at him from her place in his lap "I mean I can see why you're pretty good looking" she said smirking at him

"I'm glad you think so" he said grinning at her "I hope our child is as beautiful as you" he said winking at her

"I hope he or she has your eyes, it's one of the many things I love about you" she said smirking at him as she reached a hand up and brushed it against his cheek

"What's the other thing?" he asked smirking at her

"Your kind heart, get your mind out of the gutter" she said hitting his shoulder

"I can't help it if you bring that side of me out" he said smirking as he placed his hand on her abdomen.

"So what were you and Josh talking about today?" she asked thinking to back when she saw the two of them walking along the beach

"That kid had so many questions!" he said laughing

"He was grilling you?" she asked as she smirked at him

"Yes! And it's not funny" he said playfully poking her in the side

"It kind of is" she said laughing as she arose from the couch and made her way towards the kitchen

"He kept asking me what my intentions were with you, if I was going to treat you right. I'll tell you he certainly loves his Mum" Mike said grinning as she made her way back in with a tub of ice cream

"Thank you" she said smiling as him as she sat down

"For what?" he asked confused

"For making the effort to get to know my kids, I know it's not always easy forming a relationship with someone's else's kids but it means a lot that you are willing to" she said placing the ice cream tub on the coffee table

"I love you Kate, and I want your kids to love me and see that I'm not going anywhere" he said brushing his hand across hers

"You love me?" she said sheepishly grinning like a school girl at him

"Yes Kate McGregor I do" he said pulling her onto his lap

"We're going to be ok right?" she asked sadly as she wrapped her arms around his neck

"You mean?" he asked looking down at her stomach

"The baby, and Maxine" she said moving a hand to rest on her abdomen

"Kate…" he said moving a hand under her chin to look into her eyes "I promise you with everything I have that I won't let anything happen to you or our baby, and Maxine she needs to back off otherwise I'll go to the BRASS myself; tell them my side of the story" he said as the tears began forming in both their eyes

"You promise?" she asked hopeful

"I do, but with one condition…" he said moving his hand under the pillow that was next to him

"Anything" she said smiling at him

"Marry me?" he asked hopeful holding up a ring between them

"You're serious?" she asked surprised as she looked at the ring

"Deadly serious" he said smiling at her

"Are you sure? I mean we've only been together a few months and the baby well it wasn't planned…" she said mumbling away as Mike placed his free hand on her cheek

"I don't need us to be together for a long time to know exactly how I feel about you Kate, and yes the baby wasn't planned but it has happened and I believe it's fate pulling us together, so I'll ask again Marry me?" he said brushing her cheek with his thumb

"Yes..." Kate answered through tears

"Yes?" Mike asked not sure he heard her right

"Yes!" she said nodding her head as Mike slowly put the ring on her finger he pulled her close and kissed her passionately

"It's beautiful" she said as he pulled away she looked at the 9 carat gold diamond ring on her finger

"I'm glad you like it, Josh even said you'd love it" he said smiling at her

"You told Josh?" she said confused

"I asked his permission" Mike said brushing a stray piece of hair behind her ear

"I love you so much Mike Flynn" she said leaning in and kissing his lips softly as Mike smiled against her lips he began manoeuvring them off the couch and carrying her towards the stairs Kate wrapping her legs tightly around him

"My ice cream" she said grinning at him as she pulled away from the kiss

"It'll still be there tomorrow" he said winking at her as he met her lips in a passionate kiss as he began the walk up the stairs towards the bedroom.

The next morning Mike patiently waited as he knocked at Maxine's door

"Mike what are you doing here?" Maxine said opening the door

"I've come to talk" he moving inside

"Come running back have you" she said sighing

"No, I've come to give you these" he said handing her paperwork

"I've already signed them I just need your signature" he said crossing his arms

"Divorce papers?" she said confused

"Kate and I are getting Married, so I want to tie up loose ends" he said as Maxine looked at him angrily

"You barely know her! And you're going to marry her?" she answered back

"Just sign the damn papers Max" he said impatiently

"You knocked her up didn't you that's why your marrying her?" she answered reaching for a pen

"I love her! And that's why I want to marry her, having a baby is just something extra" he said biting back "I'll sign your precious papers" she said opening the page and signing her name

"You will?" he said confused she gave up so easy

"Yes but you should know I've contacted the BRASS about your so called 'relationship'" she said angrily passing him the papers

"You just hate to see anyone else happy don't you" he said checking the paperwork to see if she had actually signed it

"Kate should expect a call today about a meeting with the BRASS" she answered bluntly.

"You're not going to destroy this Maxine, and the BRASS isn't either" he said folding up the paperwork and placing it in his pocket

"If you say so Mike however I think the BRASS would disagree" she said shrugging her shoulders

"They didn't when you and I got married, I'll explain things to them just like I did with us" he said moving towards the door

"Good luck with that" she said sarcastically

"Oh and Maxine" he said as he opened the door "Next time I want Kate to meet my sons don't stand in the way" he said closing the door behind him before he gave her a chance to answer back.
