Becca and Peter went to close bar. It was comfy small pub with few tables and silent but nice music. When they went in, they saw there few sailors sitting for one table. As usually they were loud. Becca smiled slightly as they sat for one of the tables.
"They are reminding me on us on Hammersley." becca said as they ordered a drink.
"How life become so fucked up lately?" Peter said and Becca sighed.
"You are right. Back then all was so simple. Life was better and happier. Till we didn't lose ET." Becca said and sighed.
"Yeah. With his death all started to fell apart. We all lost contacts, become strangers to each other." Peter said and took sip of his beer.
"No we didn't all lost contacts. Just you. You didn't turn for any drink like you have promised when you were transfered, you changed your email address, your phone number and city where have you lived. Ten you married and you haven't say to anyone who you actually married and that almost destroyed our lives." becca said and took a sip of her beer too.
"But my marriage didn't work out did it?" Peter said.
"Yeah I know that. And I still feel guilty for it. I still think it is my fault." Becca said and sighed.
"It wasn't your fault. Me and Nikki were over much before you walked in my life again. Our marriage was like some kind of obligation for both of us. For me and for Nikki." Peter said looking out on sea. Becca sighed. She should to change a subject before it becomes awkward.
"Do you miss it? Sea? Do you still wish that you are serving on sea?" Becca asked and looked into him. He looked back into her.
"Sort of. Sometimes I really wish I can go back out to sea. To forget my every problem and leave it on shore." Peter said and looked again into her. "And what about you?" he added.
"Well, I stopped with serving out on sea when I get pregnant with Lauren. Then after I gave a birth I started officer training and become an officer and here I am. My biggest wish was to Lauren doesn't chose Navy but she did." Becca said with smile.
"Well she is stubborn on her mother." Peter said and Becca laughed.
"Yeah she is. I am just careful to not say or do something what could hurt her. I don't want to she has a life like I had. I am single mum like my mum was but I am trying my best not to be like my mum is." Becca said.
"Well how much time I am here in Cairns, I can say you are great mum." Peter said and Becca smiled.
"Thank you." Becca said.
"For what? I just said a truth." Peter said-
"for being there for me since ever." becca said and kiss his cheek. "Even if I was sometimes such a pain in the ass." Becca added and smiled.
"You know what I think? That Spider is having same problem with Lauren like I had with you." Peter said and Becca laughed.
"Poor Spider. I am really feeling sorry for him." Becca said.
...
They have finished their drinks and went out of the pub. Becca knew that every secret was coming on day light one day and she was really scared that when her secrets goes out, lot of people will be hurt and lot of people will hate her. And maybe even her daughter will be one of them.
"What is wrong?" peter asked and Becca looked into him.
"I need to tell you something. And I hope you will understand me." Becca said and looked into him as his phone rang and stopped her talking.
"Tomaszewski." He said when he picked up his phone. After few moments he went pale. He ended a phone call and looked into Becca.
"What is wrong? Is it something with work?" Becca asked and he nodded.
"It is Hammersley. They have been under attack. They are toved back to port. Some of crew are hurt. One of them is Lauren." Peter said and Becca had to take a grip on his forearm not to fell down. Not Lauren. Just not her.
