Disclaimer: In no way, shape or form do I own Sea Patrol or any related characters. I simply enjoy playing havoc with their lives from time to time.
I know I said it was a one shot but I couldn't resist writing more. I think there will only be another 2 chapters but I'm not sure as of yet. But anyway that's for me to worry about and I hope you enjoy however many chapters there are to come.
3 years on
"I love you Mike," I whispered as we lay curled up in bed together. He rolled over.
"I love you too Katie," he whispered back before kissing me. I sighed. Married 4 months and we were so in love. I guess the novelty of being married hadn't worn off yet. Mike was trying to take the kiss further but I pushed him away.
"Katie what's wrong?" he asked. I smiled. He had become so accustomed to my moods and habits in the past few years but I was worried about his reaction to the thing I was about to tell him.
"Mike, you know how I haven't been feeling well the past couple of days?" I asked him.
"Yeah of course," he said. "Did you see someone about it?"
"Actually, I took a pregnancy test," I stated simply. "It came back positive. I'm sorry." Mike stared at me like he didn't believe me or he didn't want to believe me. I burst into tears. "I knew you wouldn't like it," I sobbed. That seemed to bring him out of his trance.
"Shhh Katie," he whispered pulling me close. "I was just surprised that's all. It's the best news I've had since you said yes to marrying me." That combined with him slowly rubbing his hand around in a circle on my back soothed me.
"Honestly?" I asked lifting my tearstained face up to his.
"Honestly," he laughed. "I love you Kate and I will love any children we have together." I smiled up at him then pulled him down towards me for a kiss. This time I let him take it further
A few hours later we were laying in our original positions but this time with his arm possessively around my stomach.
"So do you know what you want to call the baby?" Mike murmured to me.
"I'm thinking Alex Matthew Flynn if it's a boy," I murmured back.
"And if it's a girl?" Mike asked.
"Jessica Elizabeth Flynn maybe," I whispered back sleepily.
"Sounds good," Mike whispered before we both fell asleep.
2 months later
"I'm telling you Mike," I said as we sat at the hospital. "It'll be a girl. I just know it."
"Women aren't always right," he teased. "Just look at the numerous times that I proved you wrong while I was your CO." I began to laugh and hit his arm playfully.
"Mr and Mrs Flynn?" the doctor asked. We stood up. "Come with me," she said. We both followed her and when she stopped and led us into a room I sat down and Mike stood right behind me, hands protectively on my shoulders. It was only a few minutes but it seemed like it was forever before the doctor looked up at us.
"Congratulations," she said. "You're having a baby girl." Mike and I looked at each other.
"I told you so," I said grinning. This time Mike bent down to kiss me.
