"I am pregnant."
"You are what?" asked Charge and Jamie in one voice.
"Pregnant." repeted Bomber with smile.
"Rebecca is that you?" asked 2Dads caming by them.
"Hi Leo." said Bomber. Charge went towards others.
"I am so happy to see you again." said 2Dads. "What are you doing later? Are you for a drink? Now I am again in Cairns so..."
"Look Leo, I am not..." started Bomber and Buffer interupted.
"Bec, Kate is asking are we came tonight in pub? To celebrate." he said and placed his arm around her waists.
"Why not? Even if I can't drink." answered Bomber and wrapped her arm around him.
"Leo it is good to see you." said Buffer and looked in sailor in front of him.
"You too Buff." murmured 2Dads. "You two are together? Isn't that forbidden? You two served again together, wright?"
"Yes we are together. But we don't have to hide our feelings anymore. We hide it enough time." said Buffer and pull Bomber closer.
"But we are not serving anymore together. I am leaving a ship." answered Bomber with smile.
"Don't change your mind as you changed with me." jocked 2Dads.
"Don't worry. I am having couple reasons why I am not planing to leave Pete." smiled Bomber. "I am pregnant." she added.
"Whow congratulation!" murmured 2Dads. In that moment came Charge by them.
"Am I still on diet?" asked Charge.
"Yes." said Bomber seriously.
"I have to talk with Bird." said Charge and start to walk. "By the way congratulations both of you. Tomaszewski hurt her and I will hurt you." he added and move with walking.
"Don't worry Charge. I won't hurt her. I love her too much for that." Buffer said.
"We have to go. I hope you will be in pub tonight." said Bomber.
"Dunno. Maybe." said 2Dads.
Buffer and Bomber walk away leaving 2Dads to look for them. 2Dads sighed and turn to walk when he hit someone. It was a woman.
"I am so sorry miss. I didn't see you." said 2Dads and looked in woman who he almost kick her on the ground.
"It is ok. I didn't watch either." answered woman. 2Dads noticed that this girl was gorgeus.
"I am Leo Kosow-Meyer. 2Dads."
"Because of surname?" 2Dads nodded. "I am Elizabeth-Jane." she said and smiled.
"What are you doing tonight? If you up to we go for a drink." sugested 2Dads.
"Why not? I am expecting fire from Navy. I overreacted and hit one woman. And my buffer." said EJ and smiled.
"Don't worry. You need to hear what I all done in my years on Hammersley." smiled 2Dads. They move with walking and talking.

Later that day, crew met in pub to celebrate.
"You know what guys?" asked Spider.
"What?" said Charge and look in young sailor by his side.
"Hammersley is love ship of our Navy. Nikki and Josh, Mike and Kate and now Buff and Bomber." he answered grining.
"Poor Spider. Maybe you should call Carly." jocked Bomber while she was sitting by Buffer.
"Very funny Bomber."
"Who is Carly?" asked Dutchy.
"Do you know who is Ray Walsman?" asked Buffer grining.
"I heard something for Samaru island." answered Dutchy.
"Carly is his daughter. Spider had a crush on her." answered Buffer and everyone laugh.
"The best part was 'What did he do with his life jacket?'" added RO.
"Leave me alone RO. Did you see Danielle again?" said Spider and all laugh.
"Who is Danielle? And why is RO blushing?" asked Bird who first time was sitting far from Dutchy in pub.
"Danielle is actually man. Transexual. 2Dads set him to RO. That night RO fell in fontane and he was arrested." answered Nikki.
"And Buffer and Spider were doing matching tattoos." added Charge.
"Buffer almost kill Spider after that." added Swain.
"What was on that tattoo?" asked Ryan.
"'XO' in the heart." answered Mike while he was laughing.
"Old good Hammersley!" said Kate.
"After birth, are you going to return back on active sea duty?" asked Sally.
"Probably not. I get a posting in NAVCOM." answered Bomber and took a sip of her orange juice.
"Good luck mate. Bomber was hard person before her pregnancy, now when hormones kick in, you are dead." jocked Swain and Sally hit him in the arm.
"You want to say that I was hard?" she asked and rise her eyebrows.
"No. Of course not." said Swain.
"What is going on between you and Dutchy?" asked Bomber Bird silently.
"Nothing. Why?" asked Bird and look away from there.
"It is something. I know."
"He kissed me." answered Birf and looked in Bomber.
"He what?" surprised Bomber.
"He kissed me in the galley. And now we are both confused. And we didn't talk after that. Most because I didn't give him chance for that." said Bird and took a sip from her drink.
"You have to talk with him. I will tell you something what he told me when we were kidnapped on that ship."
"What?"
"I asked him from joke does he love you. He said maybe. But I am sure he meant 'yes'." answered Bomber. "And how much I can see, you love him too." added Bomber with grin.
"Yes, but I know him. Today it is me, tomorrow is some another woman." said Bird and sighed.
'This is going to be harder than I thought.' thought Bomber and smiled on her boyfriend.
