CH 47

The reception was about to begin and everyone slowly worked their way into the ballroom. Dinner was three courses with everyone remarking on how good the food was. Now it was time for the toasts and speeches, both Jim and June were worried about who was going to give them and what would be said.

Some of Jim's men shared stories about Jim, making everyone grin. Then one of them shared the story about how Jim and June had met and about June's challenge and what happened.

The Hammersley crew share some stories about MacGyver and about what she is like onboard. "When MacGyver joins us for drinks when we return from our patrols she really joins us. Once she gave us this strange drink, we had no idea what it was called, but we all tried it. When Nav asked her the name of the drink, she looked at us with a grin on her face and said… 'Sex on the boat'," Charge said making everyone laugh.

"But there was one special drink that she gave to the X here, she tried it and asked... 'what's it called?', and MacGyver answers with a grin… 'Sex with the Captain!" making everyone laugh.

"Well her husband was the Captain of Hammersley, isn't that right, Sir?"

"Yes, Charge," Mike yells out.

"So if MacGyver gives you a strange drink and you don't know what it is, ask her before you drink it cause you never know what it is called." Everyone clapped and laughed when Charge was finished.

An hour later, Jim and June cut their four-tier wedding cake which is round with blue and green mirror glaze over it and white hearts with their initials imprinted inside of the hearts that were on the side of the cake. Once the cake was cut, they walked out onto the dance floor where a chair had been placed.

June sat and some sexy music played while Jim removed the garter while the men cheered him on as they were lined up across the floor waiting for him to flick it. Jim gave June a quick kiss, stood with his back to the throng of men and flicked the garter over his shoulder. Then he quickly turned around to see that Buffer had caught it.

"Not again Buffer!" June yelled out as the Hammersly crew gave him a hard time.

Now it was June's turn as Jim helped her stand up on the chair to throw the bouquet. Kate passed her the bouquet and then said, "Are you ready?"

"Yes!" the women yelled. She tosses it over her shoulder, turns around, and laughs.

"Nav! You need to get yourself a man and get married girl!" Then she stepped down off the chair with Jim's help and the crew gave Nav a hard time as well.

It was now time for the first dance and everyone left the dance floor except for June and Jim and they started the evening with the first dance. As they danced to their song 'Amazed', they slowly moved around the floor while looking into each other's eyes until the end of the dance when they kissed as everyone cheered them on. Then it was time for the bridal party to join in as they danced to 'When I Look Into Your Eyes'. Then everyone returned to the dance floor with their partners. The night wore on with all of the guests enjoying themselves. Jim and June dance to several slow romantic love songs during the night.

As June was dancing with Mike, "Enjoying yourself Mike?"

"Very much, thanks. It's been a great day."

"It's been perfect."

"So... where are you and Jim going for your honeymoon?"

"Hobart, for two weeks."

"I haven't been down there in years."

"Well, perhaps the next time there is a two-week shore leave you and Kate could go down for a long weekend."

"That's a great idea."

"How's the house-hunting coming along?" she asked Mike.

"We found a house that we both love but we don't think that the bank will give us a loan."

"Why is that?"

"Because of the cost."

"How much?"

"One point two million."

"Really... Have you had your house evaluated?"

"Yes, five hundred thousand."

"So, if it sold you would need to get seven hundred thousand for it for the bank to approve the loan?"

"Yeah."

"I can help you with the loan, Mike"

"No, June, we'll be going to the bank for it."

"Ok, but if they turn you down, let me know and I can loan you the money."

"Are you sure?"

"Talk to Kate about it."

"I will."

"Now, to change the subject, PJ and Maggie were here."

He looked at her in shock, "What? At the wedding?"

"Maggie had her hair dyed but it was them. They came to our hotel room when we were getting changed and we spoke for a few minutes. They had received my invite and came over for it but they watched from the distance."

"How are they?"

"They're good. Maggie had twin boys."

"Twins?" he said, confused.

"Remember when you thought she was Kate?"

Mike thought about it, "I remember, so twins, that makes it what?"

"Six, five boys and a girl."

"They must be happy."

"They are. Now, talking about babies, when is the next generation of the Navy going to happen?"

"We've been working on it."

June laughed, "Ah those shore leaves, you must love them when Kate comes home."

"That we do and you were right about that."

"Well, I wish you and Kate all the best."

"Thanks. What about you and Jim?"

"We are planning on starting a family in a year or two, we want to get used to married life first and with a new posting... it's something we both will have to get used to."

"That's true."

The song ended. June went to the ladies room and Mike went and sat next to Kate leaning over he gave her a kiss.

It was after midnight when Jim and June left the party and walked down to their hotel room where they helped each other out of their clothes and into the shower so June can wash the mousse out of her hair. They made love while in the shower and again in bed, drinking the bottle of sparkling wine and eating the chocolate covered strawberries before falling asleep in each other's arms.

The next morning they had a room service breakfast.

"I wonder how long the party went on for?" Jim said as he fed June a piece of fruit.

"I wonder, but everything went so perfectly yesterday."

"Yes, it did."

Then she fed him a piece of fruit. "I'm So looking forward to two - weeks in Hobart," she looked at him and smiled, "with you, and yes, no wakey - wakey calls, no crash sails for two weeks, heavenly, you."

"Same here, no phone calls from my CO, no text messages, no missions except for one."

"Oh? And what mission might that be Captain?"

"To keep you happy while having plenty of sex with the Captain."

She laughs then giggles when he kisses her. "You know we could try sex on the boat..."

"Oh! that would be a new one to try."

"Yes, it would be," as they kiss and then feed each other again.

Later that afternoon they were on a plane heading down to Hobart where they looked forward to spending two weeks.

Three days later, Hammersley left port with a temporary boatswain and a new medic and chef. The crew was talking about the wedding as they headed north for their ten-day patrol.

When June and Jim returned home from their honeymoon, they sorted out everything. June got changed into her dress whites and then left to go to NAVCOM after she received a text message from them while she was on her honeymoon. As she walked into the bullpen she saw Mike smiling at her and she went over to him.

"MacGyver, welcome back. How was your honeymoon?"

"It was wonderful, Sir. I received a text message a couple of days ago, Commander Marshall wanted to see me about my new ID."

They walked into Steve's office where Mike opened a draw to get the bits out and pass them to her. She smiled when she saw the name tag with her name change, then she did the same with her ID. She passed the old ones to Mike. "And here are your new DPNU tops," picking up a bag and handing it to her.

"Here are my old ones, Sir."

"Thanks, there's one more thing..." he picked up an ID and passed it to her. When she looked at it it was a special army ID.

"Sir, what's this?"

"Since you are married to Jim you get a base pass."

"But wouldn't my Navy pass get me in?"

"Yes, it would, if you were an officer, but since you're a senior sailor... you understand."

"Thank you, Sir."

"It was Jim and General West that got you that ID. With that and your security clearance you can go anywhere Jim is."

"That is if I'm home and he's on base."

"Now you can call and find out now where they are where before all you could do was leave a message."

"Thanks for this, Sir."

"Thank Jim for it."

"Oh, I will," she said smiling.

They walk out of Steve's office.

"So how was the party after Jim and I left?"

"Everyone had left by two in the morning, they all had a great time."

"Well, it was a great day."

"That It was."

"Now, where is Melbourne?"

"They're up north and will be back next month."

"What? I am supposed to be on board on Wednesday. Will I be thumbing a ride with one of the patrol boats?"

"You are, on Hammersley. She leaves port on Tuesday and will be rendezvousing with Melbourne on Wednesday morning."

Grinning, "Does the crew know?"

"Only Baxter and Kate."

"Oh goody! Can't wait to see their reaction."

"I think I know what it's going to be."

"So true, I better go, Sir, see you on Tuesday."

"Hammersley leaves at fourteen hundred."

"Thank you, Sir, and you're needed."

Mike turned to see the lieutenant lifting up the phone to him, "ok take care."

"You too, Sir," and they saluted each other before she turned around and walked out of the bullpen and Mike went to find out what the lieutenant needed.

She walked into the house, "Jim," she called out, "I'm back."

"Upstairs, June."

"OK." She sorted out her tops and put them in the washing machine, smiled looking at the new name tag before putting them in. Then she went upstairs.

"Jim? Where are you?" Going into their bedroom she stops and smiles at the sight in front of her. Him. He was in bed with the sheet covering his hips, a bottle of wine, two flute glasses, bowl of fruit, whip cream, chocolate sauce and other food.

"Well... what do we have here?!" she said grinning.

"Well, are you just going to stand there or join me?"

"Well, it depends..."

"On what?"

Bending over and pulling the sheet off his hips. "That answers my question."

She started removing her uniform as she walked into the wardrobe.

"Is everything ok at NAVCOM?" he asked.

"Yes, just as I thought it was about the name change ID"

"Good, so everything has been taken care of."

"Yep." When she came back into the bedroom she was wearing a white lace bra and panty set. Then she removed them in front of him and then stepped forward, got onto her hands and knees on the bed, and crawled her way over to him and bent down to kiss him which became passionate. They spent the afternoon making love and eating what Jim had set up and drank the wine. Afterwards, June was snuggling up to Jim's side.

"What should we do tonight?" she asked.

"We could go out to dinner, or stay in and order takeaway."

"How about we go out for dinner and then afterwards we buy some groceries"

"Sounds good to me," he leaned over and kissed her.

"But first..." he rolled them both until he was on top kissing her. They made love once more before getting up and dressing before heading into town.

Over the next three days, they kept themselves busy at home. They had been to the photographer to see their wedding photos and choose the ones that they wanted copies of to give to family as well as to their mates. The photo of Jim, June, all of the Hammersley crew on the bride's side and the SAS on Jim's side. They also chose two that they were going to have enlarged to put on the wall. Once they were finished with the photographer they did a bit more shopping before returning home.
