18 months later:

Running through the doors of the hospital Mike gazed frantically the map of departments trying to find the one he was looking for. He had been at sea for the past week and they had only just made it back to base. Spotting the department, he was looking for he followed the arrow running down a corridor to his left.

Following the directions, it was like a rabbit warren turning left and right down different long corridors all of which had that same distinct scent of disinfectant and hand gel, there was also a distinct waft of food smells coming from the kitchens. Ending up back where he started several times Mike sighed wondering why they had to make things so hard to find in hospitals he eventually asked a passing porter who pointed him in the right direction.

Walking on to the maternity ward Mike stopped at the nurse's station.

"excuse me I am looking for my wife. Kate Flynn" he asked

The nurse on the desk tapped away at the computer. "she is in room 82" the nurse smiled

"thank you" Mike smiled walking down the corridor

Kates room was at the far end of the corridor. Stopping at her door he looked in. Kate was sat on the bed cradling a baby in her arms. Leaning up against the door he smiled. The sun was streaming in through the window, catching her face making her look even more radiant. they had been married for just over a year, they were married in a very small intermate ceremony. it was a few months after they were married Kate found out she was pregnant. a honeymoon baby. a rainbow baby.

Smiling down at the baby Kate sighed softly looking up she smiled.

"you going to come and meet your daughter" she smiled up at him

Walking in to the room Mike smiled sitting on the edge of the bed placing a hand under the baby's head and the other around Kates's waist.

"she is beautiful" he smiled kissing her softly looking down at the baby. "i am sorry I wasn't here for you" he said softly

"I know you would have done anything to be here" Kate said softly placing a hand on his cheek "you were crash sailed and you couldn't help the fact that this little rainbow decided she wanted to make an appearance and meet us 2 weeks early" she said bending over kissing the baby's head softly.

She yawned slightly it had been a long labour and everything was finally catching up with her. She allowed Mike to ease the baby from her arms before her head hit the pillow and she drifted off in to a light slumber.

She awoke with the last of the sun creeping in through her window. Gathering her thoughts, she looked over and could see Mike sat on the little chair under the window cradling the baby in his arms. Smiling she looked so small in Mikes huge arms. He was telling her a story all about being at sea and how he managed to save the day.

"that's not quite how I heard it" she smiled pushing herself up

"is that so" Mike smiled walking over placing the baby in to the plastic crib next to the bed. Walking round the other side he sat next to her wrapping his one arm around her waist pulling his feet up slightly as she rested her head on his shoulder

"so what are we going to call her?" Mike smiled

"nothing we talked about fits" she sighed "and if the girls had their way, we would be calling her Cinderella no matter what they didn't want a brother so at least they are going to be happy. well it was that or Sproglett" she smiled

Mike laughed he knew they had been begging to make the baby a sister but he had no idea that they would be calling him or her Cinderella no matter what.

Dropping her hand in to the cot Kate brushed her finger along her face, "Saylor" she said aloud a sudden bolt of inspiration hitting her

"Taylor?" Mike questioned

"no Saylor. Like Taylor but with a S not a T" she smiled. "Saylor Grace Flynn

"Why Saylor?" Mike said

"i like unusual names" Kate smiled turning to face him. "Saylor because of the Navy, Grace because of what she means to us after what happened. And Flynn because she is ours" she said teasing him in to a kiss

"Saylor Grace" Mike smiled looking over at the baby sleeping in the plastic cot her little eye lashes fluttering her mouth all curled up like the of petals of a flower. "i think its perfect" Mike smiled.
