During the two week patrol every one talking about buck and hen night ideas. But the guys talk more about the bucks night then the women did about the hens night since there was two other females on Hammersley besides bird and Kate.
When Hammersley return back from there patrol they got a week off before they leave for six week patrol. So when they return it would be the twenty first of April. That night every one showed up at the pub including Ryan and some of his mates from Childers, buffer, spider, Terri and Amy. The navy twenty four hour center was looking after the kids for the night.

Sally smile then she tells them what to do with each of the items which cause the other women to listen then laugh. They all had a great evening talking and laughing while having a great time. They all left after midnight since some of the women got work in the morning.
When Bird got home she put all her gifts away then she went and got change and got into bed and read a book while waiting for Ryan to return home. When he did arrive home bird waited for him in bed. When he walk into the bedroom
"honey I'm home" he staggered over to the bed and bend over and kiss her
"Ryan why don't you go and have a shower"
"Why"
"You smell like smoke" He lifted his shirt to his nose and smell it
"Oh your right, ok"
Then he turn and walk to and into the bathroom and close the door. Bird listen to the shower running and Ryan moving around in the bath room. Fifteen minutes later Ryan walk out of the bathroom wearing a towel around his waist and carrying his clothes in his hands, he walk out of the bedroom to the laundry shoot where he put them down it then he remove the towel and drop it down the shoot, then he return back to the bedroom closing the door up partly then he walk over to his side of the bed lifting the covers and got in then he lean over to give bird a kiss
"Much better" bird said as she reach over and turn the lamp off then she wrap her arms around his neck and pull him down for a passionate kiss. They made love before falling asleep in each other arms.
The next day bird, Ryan, RO, Amy, spider and Terri meet up together for lunch. They were talking more about the wedding, and how many there might be there. They spent the next two days talking about the wedding before spider and Terri had to fly back to Sydney since Terri got work the next day.
The day Hammersley left for it six week patrol Ryan and bird hug and kiss in the wharf in front of Hammersley for a few minutes before Bird walk up on to the ship and Ryan walking down to where HMAS Childers is since they won't be seeing each other till the day before the wedding.
Few hours late both Hammersley and Childers left port at the same time then they went different directions.
"Are you ok bird" Kate asked
"Yeah six weeks" Kate smile
"Be for long we will be returning back to cairns"
"I know"
"how about you RO" Kate asked turning to him
"I'm ok ma'am and I agree with bird, six weeks to go"
"Have you got your wedding rings sorted out" Two dads ask RO
"Yes we have, the jewellery's was glad to help us I wanted yellow gold and Amy wanted white gold. The jeweler watch us argue about it. He said he know the perfect wedding rings for us both. He went out back of his shop and return with two boxes . He show us what was in side, it was yellow and white gold twisted wedding rings. He said we both get what we wanted and since we both navy he can have a pair made before we return"
"so you both agree" Charge asked
"Yes"
"that good. What about you bird, got wedding rings sorted" Charge asked
"Yep pick them up yesterday"
"what sort did you get" RO asked
"Plain yellow gold band"
"Ok no diamonds in it"
"No"
They all talk about the up coming wedding as well other things over the next five weeks. In that time they were busy with may day calls, boarding FFV as well boarded number of suspicious boats in that time. Four times they arrested number of people on four boats cause they were carrying drugs on board so they had to wait for the feudal police to arrive so the crew can hand over the ones they arrested and the boat, then they carry one with there patrol.
After the fifth week, the Hammersley sat phone rings, so Kate answered it
"Hammersley"
"Kate it mike" Kate smile
"what can I do for you...sir"
"I need Hammersley to return back to Cairns" Kate frond
"May I ask why"
"I'll tell you when you return, see you tomorrow"
"ok"
"Fair winds" then they hung up.
"Ma'am are you ok" Bird asked
"Yeah" the she stood up and walk over to the maps
"Two dads turn one four zero"
"Turning one hour zero" then Kate pick up the mic and turn the PA system on
"now here this, captain speaking... I received a phone call from commander Flynn, we are to return back to Cairns a week early than plan. Commander Flynn didn't say why we are returning, that is all" then she turn the PA off and put the mic back then she return back to the captain chair and sat down wondering if every thing is ok.
Even the crew were worried. Bird got her phone out and text to Ryan to find out he ok. RO did the same with Amy and Swain did to his wife. When they got got a reply back that every thing was fine, they all relax but wondering why they got to return a week early.
