Five Years Later:
"Thomas!" Kate ran after the rowdy 4-year-old
"Jellyfish" he pointed before letting out a sequel when Kate scooped him up into her arms
"Gotcha!" she grinned tickling him
"Stop Mummy" he wriggled trying to get free
"What did I say about running off hmm?" she held him close
"To not too" he grabbed at the necklace around her neck
"Are you going to listen if I put you down?" she smiled at the coordinates on the necklace he was playing with
"I want to stay here" he rested his head on her chest with his arms wrapping around her neck
"I don't remember Soph being this clingy at this age" Kate looked across at Mike when he stopped next to her
"That's because Tommy is a Mummy's boy" Mike tickled his little neck
"Am not!" he turned his head away from his Dad
"Point proven" Mike laughed
"You can stay until we get inside then you get go play with your cousin" Kate kissed his brown curls
"Will Chloe be here?" Sophie stopped next to her Mum in her flower girl dress
"I'm not sure Soph, I think Uncle Swain and Chloe had to head back to Cairns early"
"But we were flower girls together she has to stay for cake"
"They might be in there, why don't you go ahead and take a look" Mike pointed to the Gazebo set up on the beach
"You coming Squirt?" Sophie looked at Thomas
"Can I?" he moved his head to look at Kate
"Off you go then" she leant down placing his back on the ground fixing up his little jacket
"Keep and eye on your brother" Mike nodded when Sophie grabbed Thomas's hand in hers
"I will!" she called as they began walking towards the Gazebo
"She's too good to him" Kate smiled
"We raised her well, taught her to look out for him" Mike placed a hand on her lower back
"She's a pretty great kid"
"Yeah she is, she's got her Mother's beauty her Father's smart sense"
"Excuse me?" Kate turned to face him
"It was a joke!" he jumped when she hit his chest
"It better have been, I've already got one kid who turned out like you I don't need another"
"Come on, Thomas getting my eyes and hair isn't a bad thing is it?" he teased
"You promised me a green eyed, blonde baby" she smirked
"And instead you get.."
"A Flynn who is going to grow up and break too many woman's hearts"
"What?"
"He won't mean too I mean he's stuck with it, it's in his DNA"
"Wow…"
"I'm kidding" she placed a hand on his chest
"Not funny" he smirked slightly
"I thought it was, but I am partly serious the Flynn charm it's a real thing" she nodded
"Is that right?"
"Please have you met your brother, I mean wow" she bit her lip
"Okay now that…" he stopped when she broke out into a smile he shook his head and began walking away
"I mean I know your brother is single so I could always keep it in the family" she tried to hide her smirk when he stopped turning to look back at her
"Please there's only one Flynn you're interested in" he stepped back in front of her
"Now who's full of themselves"
"You have gotten so mean since having Thomas"
"Like I said, you promised me a little McGregor" she giggled when his arm wrapped around her back and pulled her flush against him
"You are so lucky… we're at your brother's wedding, otherwise this dress… would be… not on… you for much longer…" he groaned in her ear smirking when he heard her breath hitch
"You are such an arse" she placed her hand against his chest
"And you have a pretty amazing one" he moved his hand squeezing it
"Tonight you are going to be very sorry for that" she whispered in his ear
"I look forward to it" he kissed her cheek slightly moving back he brushed his hand across her waist a small smile crossing his face when he walked off in the direction of the kids
'That man…' she let out a deep breath before following him.
Entering the Gazebo Kate shook her head when Mike flashed her a grin shaking her head trying to get rid of her smirk she spotted Aden making his way over
"Kiki" he smiled holding out a glass of champagne for her
"Shouldn't I be the one bringing you over a drink?" she clinked her glass against his
"Please anything to get out of that conversation with Bec's parents" he took a sip of his drink
"You've been married for two hours and you already can't stand your in laws?" she teased
"The woman is scary and isn't exactly a fan of her daughters new husband having gone to jail" he cleared his throat
"Aden…"
"No it's okay, it's my past and I have to deal with that, but I don't need people like her reminding me of it" he looked over at Bomber who was giving her Mum a hug
"And how did she take the news about becoming a Grandparent?" Kate watched Bomber move back from the hug to reveal a heavily Pregnant Bomber
"You know that actually went down better than the whole marriage thing" he smirked
"She'll get over it, but until then you've got to focus on that beautiful wife of yours"
"That sounds so weird" he laughed softly
"I'm really proud of you Jellyfish" she pulled him into a hug
"Well thanks Sis" he kissed her cheek
"You've really come a long way"
"So have you" he pulled back at hearing Thomas's giggles
"Yeah I did alright" she shrugged with a grin
"Your Parent's… they'd be so proud of you" he nudged her arm
"Thanks Jellyfish"
"So how's things in Sydney?" he took a sip of his drink
"Same as the last time you asked" she rolled her eyes
"The last time I asked was five years ago"
"Exactly! There okay, Sophie's excelling in school and has this one friend that Mike just dosen't seem to trust"
"A boy?" Aden raised an eyebrow
"Oh yeah" Kate laughed
"Isn't she too young for that?"
"She turned ten in May, not my little girl anymore"
"Wow.. it's really been that long?"
"Yes and your Nephew, is in Kinder now making friends with all the girls cursed with the Flynn charm that one" she looked across at Thomas who was hiding behind Sophie's back as she talked to 2Dads
"Well when you told me I'd been blessed with a brown haired, blue eyed nephew I was pretty shocked he didn't get your blonde"
"I think it was a shock for everyone including Mike"
"And things between you two, there good?" he turned to face her
"Yes Aden they are fine"
"Because if you need me to beat his arse I'd be more than happy to do it"
"Things between Mike and I are good" she smiled placing her glass on the table
"Good" he nodded
"I mean their really good"
"Okay way to much information"
"Last week when I came for lunch he…"
"Alright! I'm going over there now" he pointed
"Works every time" she smirked to herself taking a sip of her drink she spotted Maxine making her way over.
"Kate…"
"Commander White" she placed her glass back down
"Ah.. how are you?" she stood across from her
"I didn't realise you were going to be here" Kate looked at her sadly
"Ryan wanted to support his Uncle… I came as his plus one"
"Ryan's here?" Kate questioned
"I hope that's okay…" she pointed to Ryan who was pulling back from the hug he was giving Mike
"It's fine, it'll be good for him and his Dad to.. catch up"
"Yes well when you and Mike moved to Sydney Ryan was a little disheartened"
"Yeah I know… Mike told me, look I'm sorry Maxine we just.. we needed a fresh start, to get away from the past it… it was holding us back"
"You don't need to explain to me, I mean… Kate what happened between Mike and I"
"Oh we don't need to discuss that" Kate shook her head
"I just wanted to apologise, it should have never happened and I put you through so much heartache by causing it, so I'm sorry.."
"All is forgive it was so long ago and well.. it gave Mike and I the push we needed to get out and try new things" Kate looked across at Mike who gave her a confused look at seeing Maxine
"So friends?" Maxine asked hopeful
"Friends" Kate nodded in surprise when Maxine moved around and pulled her into a hug
"I'm glad we can this behind us"
"Me too" Kate smiled when Maxine pulled back from the hug
"Can I get you another?" Maxine pointed to her glass
"Just one for me, I'm driving"
"Sure well I'll leave you too it" she began walking away nodding at Mike as he walked past her,
"Ah what was that?" he pointed back to Maxine
"I.. I have absolutely no idea" Kate finished the last bit of her drink
"Can I interest you in a dance?" he placed his beer down when the song Elvis Presley started playing from the speakers
"I'd love to" she placed her hand on his as he led her to the dance floor where a few other guests were slow dancing,
holding one of Kate's hands in his he wrapped the other around her waist while Kate's free hand rested against the shoulder of his rented tux;
moving slowly with the music Kate felt Mike pull her closer so their heads were inches next to each other moving their hands he came to place hers around the back of his neck while his moved to rest against her waist like his other one
"What are you doing?"
"Dancing with my beautiful wife" he smiled
"Trying to get handsy more like it" she grinned moving her hand off his shoulder to behind his neck like her other one
"Wouldn't dream of it" he protested while moving his hand around her back and pulling her into an almost hugging position
"Do you remember this song?" she played with the back of his neck
"How could I forget, it's our wedding song" he kissed her cheek before resting his against it
"Take my hand, take my whole life too" Kate sang softly in his ear "For I can't help falling in love with you" a tear fell down her cheek when Mike pulled his head back
"You okay?" he looked at with a soft smile
"Perfect, I'm absolutely perfect" she moved one of her hands and placed it against his cheek when he placed a soft kiss against her lips before resting his cheek against hers again
"I love you so much" he held her tighter
"Darling, so it goes, somethings are meant to be" she began singing again
"Take my hand, Take my whole life too, for I can't help falling in love with you" Mike sang with her,
neither noticing the rest of the guests including Thomas and Sophie had stopped to watch the interaction been the two clearly in love pair,
"They really are meant for each other aren't they?" she rested a hand against her Pregnant belly
"Yeah, they sure are" he moved one across to rest against hers
"Do you think we'll ever been that in love after being married for as long as them?" Bec turned her head to look at him
"I hope even more so" he placed a soft kiss on her lips,
pulling back slightly she rested her head against his shoulder as they continued to watch Mike and Kate dance.
...
"Do we have to go home?" Kate rested into his chest with the sheet covering her naked form
"Unfortunately" he kissed her bare shoulder
"We could always stay"
"You mean like permanently?"
"Would it be so bad?" she turned her head to look at him
"Kate" he laughed softly
"I'm serious, think about it; with Bec and Aden about to be parents in less than three months don't you want to be around to get to know our nephew?"
"Your actually serious?"
"Don't you want more nights like tonight?"
"What where we can send the kids to 2Dads for a sleepover?" he held his hand tighter around her waist
"No" she elbowed him slightly "I mean being here, getting to see the old crew more than just a few days every six months"
"So what your saying is that you want to move back here to Cairns?"
"Why not, we didn't sell the house" she looked around the room that used to be their old bedroom
"And a blow-up mattress on the floor is your idea of living?" he teased
"Mike…"
"Okay" he nodded
"What?" she fully turned in his embrace
"Lets do it" he wrapped his arms around her back
"That's it no fighting, no I don't want to?" she raised an eyebrow
"I told you five years ago I'd follow you anywhere, and if that means we move back to Cairns to be closer to our family then lets do it"
"You really are getting too soft Flynn" she smirked
"Only for you, anyone else gets the Sailor Flynn"
"My Sailor or your Sailor?" she ran her hand across his chest
"I think yours might get me into a world of trouble" he pulled at the sheet dropping it from her naked form
"Well in that case we better take advantage of the alone time"
"Oh absolutely" he nodded when she shifted forward teasing him into a kiss.
