"Here comes the helicopter!" Mike said as the 3-year-old giggled in his arms as they moved towards the bed Kate still faking at being asleep as she laid on her side facing Mike's side of the bed slowly sitting on the bed Mike looked into the green eyes of his son as he placed him between them
"Shh Mummy's still asleep" he grinned as he spotted Kate smirking the little boy moved forward and placed a sloppy kiss against Kate's cheek she opened her eyes as she reached a hand out and pulled him into her arms he began giggling
"Mathew Craig Flynn did you just give Mummy a sloppy kiss?" she asked smirking as the little boy squirmed out of his Mother's arms
"Mummy's awake!" he screamed as he jumped on the bed between the two of them
"Now we can have Pancakes!" he jumped as he got caught in the doona he tripped landing on Mike who let a oomph out as he fell
"Watch it peanut" he grinned as he turned to look at Kate who had a glint in her eye
"Why don't you go feed rex, and I'll get your Mummy out of bed" he smirked as he lifted the little boy and moved him off the bed
"REX!" he yelled as he ran out of the room Kate laughed as Mike moved towards her he shifted the blanket as he placed a hand on her heavily Pregnant belly
"How's my girls this morning?" he smiled as he ran circles along her stomach
"Your daughters are pushing against my bladder" she grinned as he moved his head close and placed a kiss against her lips
"Come on I'll help you to the bathroom" he said moving back as he moved off the bed and made his way to her side as she shifted dropping her feet down the side of the bed he grabbed her hand as he carefully pulled her up to stand
"I don't know how much more of this I can take" she smirked
"Well in 1 more month they will be here" he smiled placing a kiss against her forehead
"Twins, I mean when I said I wanted more kids this isn't what I had in mind" she laughed as he walked her towards the ensuite
"Two for one what could be better?" he laughed as they stopped in the doorway they heard Mathew yelling from the kitchen as they hear loud barking
"You better go sort that out" she smirked
"You right?" he asked as he dropped his hand from her back
"Yeah I'll be fine" she smiled as he leant down and placed a kiss against her lips as he exited the bedroom and made his way downstairs to see Mathew trying to pick up the dry food
"Daddy I dropped it" he said sadly
"That's okay Rex will clean it up" he grinned as he moved forward and picked his son up into his arms they watched a the Blue Heeler puppy quickly devoured the dry food
"Maybe don't give him any food tonight" Mike smirked as Mathew grinned
"Can we make Pancakes now?" he asked hopeful
"Yes choc chip or blueberry?" he asked as he moved towards the pantry
"Um… Blueberry!" he grinned
"Smart choice" Mike smiled as he kissed his head of blonde brown hair he began picking out the ingredients.
"What happened in here?" she asked as she moved into the kitchen stepping on a piece of dry food that Rex had missed she lifted her foot as she picked it up
"I fed Rex!" Mathew called from his spot at the table
"I can see that" she smirked as Rex stopped next to her feet he licked her leg as she reached down to pat him she passed him the piece of dry food
"Who's idea was it to get our 3-year-old son a dog again?" she grinned looking at Mike as he flipped the pancakes
"That would be yours my darling" he answered as he passed her a plate
"Well you're the one who took him to the shelter to pick a dog" she grinned taking the plate as she moved towards the table she kissed Mathews head as she moved past him to sit down
"Yes but I didn't think he'd pick the only puppy that was left" he replied as he turned off the frying pan placing the last couple of pancakes on the plate as he moved towards the table and placed them down before he sat down next to Kate
"I love you" he smiled as he reached a hand across the table
"I love you too" she grinned as she interlocked her hand with his they looked at their son who was feeding Rex a piece of his breakfast.
The past 3 years have been a whirlwind after Kate found out she was Pregnant she stayed on board until she was 8 months and then she left, Commander Marshal gave her a desk job and in a month she gave birth to a beautiful brown haired, green eyed little boy they named him 'Mathew' after Kate's birth last name and his middle name is Craig after her Dad making his full name 'Mathew Craig Flynn' after he was born Kate couldn't imagine going back out to sea so with the full support of Mike she asked Commander Marshal for a permanent shore posting although the BRASS and Mike would miss her out at sea she just couldn't imagine not getting to see her beautiful little boys face every morning,
Mike stayed on Hammersley as CO but was given a month off to spend supporting Kate. In regards to the whole Rape thing Liam was sentenced to 10 years' imprisonment for not only the rape of Kate but also multiple other girls things between Kate and Shannon were no longer tense once they got together a few times and chat a little about things she began to realise he was nothing like his Brother or Father and she wanted to have that friendship with him, Mike was a little weary at the start but after he seen how good Shannon was to Kate and their son he put his doubts out of his mind.
For Mathews 3rd birthday Kate and Mike surprised him with a puppy something he'd been wanting since he was old enough to talk Kate also surprised him with the news that he was going to be a big brother which was also news to Mike.
At first they thought they were having another boy but when she had her 3 month scan they discovered she was having not one but two little girls who would be joining their family and now she only had a month left until she was due and as much as she was excited to meet them carrying 2 babies around for nine months was a lot different to carrying just one they were excited to meet the newest additions to the family soon but for now they were just happy getting to spend time with Mathew and Rex.
As for how the rest of their lives are going...
Well to use your imagination is truly a remarkable thing...
The End
