My longest chapter so far, hope you enjoy it.

Mikes PoV

I just about managed to catch her in time. It all happened so quickly, one second she's at my throat next thing she's hitting the deck. Now I have her laying on my bed hoping she'll come to, I knew something was wrong, she's been acting this way for awhile but it wasn't until Nav told me how bad she's really been that I knew something was seriously wrong. I brush a loose piece of hair from off her face. Sometimes I wish she'd just open up more, even if it's not to me. Feeling her starting to stir I reach over and grab a bottle of water from my desk.

"What, what happened?" Her voice is groggy and faint sounding; I pass her the bottle of water as she sits up and just smiles.

"You, by the looks of it fainted. So I'll ask you again, what's going on Katie?" She visibly tenses, a lone tear trickles down her check. I carefully climb onto the bed, while pulling her closer towards me I gently brush away her tears. "Kate?" my arms wrap tighter around her, "I'm pregnant." I can barely make out what she just said, or even if I actually heard her right.

"Pregnant?" She nods her tears flow quicker, a pang of jealousy spreads through me like wild fire. I've never thought that much about having kids before so why am I feeling like this? Pulling her closer towards me I kiss the top of her head and whisper into her ear. "I'm here if you ever need anything, all you have to do is ask and I'll be there. I promise Kate."

Her head turns to look at me, her fear evident in her gorgeous green eyes, "You know I could even kick his ass if you like?" A slight smile appears on her face then quickly fades. She shakes her head; her voice is so quiet it's barely whisper. She hangs her head almost in shame, "but you wouldn't be Mike. You wouldn't, not after what..." Her tears stop her midsentence. My mind begins to race, a different scenario every second, till it settles on the only rational reason as to why she'd act like this. "He's onboard isn't he." It came out more as a statement than a question. Her crying becomes worse only proving my point, the jealousy I had suddenly turns to anger, "who?" My voice is almost as quiet as hers.

"He doesn't know. He, he I'm, I'm so sorry." I look at her confused, and then it hits me, hard. I let go of her suddenly so I can see her, she barley looks at me. The anger fades to disappointment, "but why? How could you?" I get up off the bed, whether it's from the shock or from the fact she hid it from me, but I need some time to cool off and to think this through. As I walk out of the door I can hear her pleading for me to stay.

My legs manage to carry me outside, leaning on the railings I look out just watching the sea, 'me, a dad,' the thought alone scares me half to death. My mind wanders back to something I'd long since forgotten, just a few months after we'd gotten together.

*Flashback*

I'm sitting on my brother's sofa trying to get my niece Kaylee who just turned three yesterday to sleep. She's sat on my knee after she wanted me to read her a story, one of her favourites or so my brother tells me. When not after five minutes of reading to her she's sound asleep. Kids have always amazed me at who they do that. One second you're running round the house trying to get them to have a bath the next their fast asleep.

The sound of footsteps approaching knocks me out of my train of thought. I turn around and see Kate; I can't help but laugh at the sight of her. My laugh is met by a death stare. "It's not funny you know." She says as some of the strawberry jam in her hair drips down on to me. "Well I think that jam and sprinkles is a good look for you. You know? You should wear it more often."

She shakes her head, a smile forming on her lips as her attention turns to the now sleeping bundle in my arms. A smile settles at her lips as her arms come to rest on my neck. "She's finally asleep then?" I smile at her, "out like a light."

She makes her way over and sits down next to me resting her head on my shoulder, closes her eyes and takes a deep breath. "You know something Mike Flynn? You'll make a great dad one day." While taking in her exhausted form I lean over and kiss her. "And you Kate McGregor will make one amazing mother."

*end Flashback*

And how true that is, just seeing her with that little girl today, I feel so bad at how I reacted earlier on. While walking back off the deck something catches my attention.

Millie's PoV

I can see the man from earlier looking out in to the sea he's been there for a while, before I came out here, I don't even know how I got up here. I start crying, I should have stayed where I was, all I was trying to do was to find Kate and then I lost Mr Dreams and now I don't know where I am let alone them. The man walks over to where I'm sitting, my head tucked up close, he kneels down of he's my height down, "what are you doing out here?" I turn away from him before speaking "I lost Mr Dreams. And I can't find Kate." He offers me his hand; I stare at it for awhile, before cautiously taking a hold of it. "Who's Mr Dreams?" He asks, but in a nice way, not like he does.

I start to cry again. "He's my bear; Daddy gave him to me for Christmas when I was two." As we make our way inside the boat thing my tummy starts to growl. The nice man looks down at me smiling, "How about we fix that first, I need to get something for Kate in the galley too, and then on the way back we'll look for Mr Dreams?" I just nod my head and follow him, "what's a Galley?" I ask, my teacher always says I'm too curious for my own good, whatever that word means. "It's like a kitchen." Now I'm just confused, "then why not just call it a kitchen if it's a kitchen?" then someone who's dressed just like the nice man comes up to us.

"Sir." The nice man nods before speaking. "2Dads." Then he carries on walking. I stand still on the spot wondering what had just happened. I run trying to catch up; I make it just in time before he goes round a bend. I carefully reach up to his arm and tug it.

He looks down at me, "Sir?" I say, "Is that really your name? And is his name really 2dads? Cus there's a lot of people on this boat thingy with really weird names. 'Cept Kate, but the people who are dressed like you all call her X. And why are you all dressed the same, cus doesn't that get confusing everyone was dressed up the same you could forget who people were or call them by another name."

I feel my feet being lifted off the ground as he picks me up and carries me into a room full of metal stuff. He puts down on the side and starts going through some cupboards. "To your first question, no my name is Mike." He stops as he pulls out some packets of biscuits, the icky kind that you have to put butter on. "Then why did he call you Sir for?" He gets two glass bowls from another cupboard and puts them down on the side.

"Sir is because I'm the captain of this ship." My eyes open wide, "So you own this boat. You must be really rich to afford a boat so big." He starts laughing, and takes out a tub of ice cream from a tall thingy that looks like a fridge but shinier, "I don't own the ship, the navy does I just captain it. Which is why we're all dressed the same it's our uniform, like you wear a school uniform." I start swinging my feet being careful not to hit the metal. He takes some cake out of what must be the fridge. "Everyone has a nickname; most people just call me Sir, or Boss." He puts some of the cake into the bowl, and then tries to add some of the ice cream. Except a piece comes flying over to where I am and hits me. "Are you trying to get it into the bowl, cus some just went on me."

He gets a piece of kitchen roll and cleans it off my shirt. "Sorry about that." He says, as he reaches in the higher cupboards and gets out some sauce, and tries to put that on the ice cream cake. I hop off the slide along the side and squeeze the sauce from the bottom. My eyes widen in shock as it goes all over his face. I quickly shelter my face with my arms. "I'm Sorry Mike I, I didn't mean to." I brace myself for what was about to happen, nothing. A wait a little longer, then I feel a tap at my arm. I look up to see him holding one of the dishes cept this time it has a spoon in it He puts it on the side, and holds the hand out to me. I take it my hands shaking. I stare up at him the chocolate sauce still on his face. "It's alright I'm not going to hurt you. I mean if you didn't do that I never would have gotten it out."

He puts his dish down on the side and carries me into a room that has tables, "this isn't a dining room is it?" he smiles at me, and leaves the room again. I look over to see Mr Dreams sitting next to me. He comes back a few seconds later with the bowls of ice cream and icky biscuits, he slides me a bowl. "Is that Mr Dreams?" he points over to the bear. I nod my head while tucking into the bowl of ice cream and cake. "So what is your name?" I stop eating, and put Mr Dreams on the table. "I'm Mille." I say quietly while playing with Mr Dreams. "Well then Millie, it's a pleasure to meet you." He puts his spoon down and goes to pick up Mr Dreams Hand, and he shakes it. "It's nice to meet you too Mr Dreams." There's a quick knock at the door before it opens.

Hope you like it so far.
