Standing in front of the mirror half an hour later Kate placed her shirt to the side while moving a hand along her abdomen she stood sideways to get a proper look when she spotted Mike in the mirror sitting on the bed
"Your not supposed to be here"
"Just pretend I'm not" he shrugged with a grin
"Mike…" she turned to face him crossing her arms
"Come on Kate I haven't seen you in two days"
"And you shouldn't be seeing me now, you know it's bad luck" she moved towards him
"I don't believe in those superstitious things" he crawled across the bed
"Yes you do"
"No… no I don't" he came to rest on his knees at the end of the bed
"Yes… you do" she smirked stopping across from him
"Do you want me to go?" he moved a hand across wrapping it around her waist
"Yes…"
"But?" he teased pulling her close
"Also no" she smirked grabbing his shirt and pulling him closer their lips meeting in a sensual kiss,
gripping her waist tighter Mike maneuvered them so he could lower her onto the bed breaking apart from the kiss he moved back pulling his shirt off he threw it across the room,
smiling widely Kate ran her hands along his chest when he shifted to hover above her a look of worry crossing her face when he stopped near her abdomen
"It still doesn't feel real"
"Believe me the morning sickness and nausea make it real"
"Kate we're going to be parents" he placed a hand against it
"This is what you want?"
"What?"
"It's just after the whole Karumba conversation I..."
"This is what I want" he assured her leaning down he placed several kisses against her stomach before moving up to lean his head in front of hers "I love you"
"I love you too" she smiled resting a hand across his chest "but as I said earlier you really shouldn't be here"
"I missed you…" he smirked leaning down he began kissing along her neck
"And Swain just so happened to let you leave.." she tried to hold in her moan
"Made up a little white lie I was needed at NAVCOM"
"As if he would have believed that"
"Kate…" he dropped his head against her neck "talking about Swain when I'm trying to make love to you isn't exactly setting the mood"
"You're right, I'm sorry but…" she moaned when his hand travelled along the inside of her pants
"You were saying?" he laughed nipping the side of her neck
"Noth…ing…" she struggled with the movement of his hand
"That's what I thought" he shifted his head meeting her lips in a passionate kiss her hands moving down his chest and to his belt buckle.
"Mate! Where the hell have you been?" Swain grabbed his arm pulling him towards the bedroom three hours later
"I was…"
"You were just seeing Kate for a quick nooky right?"
"Pfft-no"
"Mike there's exactly two hours until your set to be married could you have no waited?" he sighed letting his arm go
"So things at NAVCOM lasted a little longer then I thought they would" Mike shrugged
"Right a whole four hours longer?"
"Yeah"
"You know I'd actually believe that if Buffer hadn't gone to NAVCOM to find you!" he shook his head picking up a suit off the back of the door
"Lay off mate I hadn't seen her in two days"
"You know it's bad luck to…"
"See the bride before the wedding I get it" he finished his sentence
"But you don't really and that hickey on the side of your neck suggests that"
"What hickey?" he shifted to look in the mirror
"And point proven" Swain shook his head
"That's just cruel"
"You've got thirty minutes to get ready then I need your help down at the boat for a few last-minute touch ups" he held out the tux
"Touch ups? Wasn't that 2Dad and Buffers job?"
"Don't stress everything is perfect it's just a few last minute hanging lights to brighten the place up"
"Right…" Mike reluctantly took the tux
"I mean getting married at sundown dosen't exactly give much light"
"And getting married at sundown is what Kate and I wanted"
"Yes but because you two decided to break the rules I sent Buffer to go find you so like I said we haven't fully finished setting up"
"I couldn't help it" he broke out into a grin
"Yeah I know but I'm not sure Nikki will see it like that when she has to rush with Kate's hair and makeup" Swain patted his shoulder while moving towards the door
"Swain?"
"Yep?" he turned to face him
"Thanks…"
"Well I…"
"No I mean thanks for everything, helping with the wedding, not telling Commander White about Kate and I you're a true friend"
"Get dressed you don't wanna be late to your own wedding" he smiled exiting the room.
...
Standing on the Hammersley deck Mike took a deep breath when his eyes met with Kate's who was walking across the gangway with Charge in a short summer dress that had white little flowers all over it making it look like a unusual design,
mimicking his smile Kate teared up when they stopped next to him
"Who gives this woman to this man?" Swain asked standing next to Mike
"I do" Charge moved Kate's hand over placing it in Mike's, taking Kate's hand in his Mike nodded to Charge when he moved back to be seated with the others
"Dearly beloved, where here today to celebrate the connecting of Mike Flynn and Kate McGregor in holy matrimony" Swain began saying
"Both Kate and Mike have expressed their wish to say their own vows, Kate would you please start" he motioned, giving him a nod Kate looked at Mike with tears in her eyes
"Mike…" she cleared her throat to get rid of the shakiness in her voice
"If I'm being honest I never thought this day would come and here we are getting married and there's no one else I'd rather be doing it with" she smiled softly
"Our lives together are only beginning you and I have a new future to look forward to with our little baby joining this world in eight months" she paused when the crew and guests all gasped in surprise
"You drive me insane in a good and bad way, but through it all you have something no one else has… my heart; I love you so much and I can't wait to begin this new adventure with you" she finished struggling to keep the tears at bay
"Mike your turn" Swain motioned to him
"Through out our lives together I've been called many things, emotional coward, a cowboy but I gotta say my most favourite is Sailor" he winked
"I love you Kate so much and if you let me I will spend the rest of my life trying to make you as happy as you make me I pledge to give you everything you deserve in life and be there for you during our new beginning as parents"
"Kate and Mike will now impart rings as a symbol of their love for each other and that the vows in which they have stated, Charge can we have the rings please" he held out a hand,
Charge shifting to place the rings in his Kate and Mike's open palms
"Kate repeat after me, with this ring I take thee Michael Oliver Flynn to be my lawfully wedded husband"
"With this ring I take thee Michael Oliver Flynn to be my lawfully wedded husband" Kate repeated slipping the ring on Mike's finger
"Mike repeat after me, with this ring I take thee Katherine Elizabeth McGregor to be my lawfully wedded wife"
"With this ring I take thee Katherine Elizabeth McGregor to be my lawfully wedded wife" Mike stated slipping the ring on Kate's finger
"By the power invested in me an the certificate from the internet, I pronounce you husband and wife" he stated and neither bothered to wait,
wrapping his arm around Kate's waist Mike pulled her close meeting her lips in their first kiss as Husband and Wife; the claps and cheers from the guests pulling them apart.
