Chapter thirteen – sailing to the floor

Kate was coming off Hammersley for the last time in her career, she was never going to sail anymore, not with being pregnant and having three children on the way, three children she still couldn't believe it.

She hesitated before she left she looked all around Hammersley. She again could not believe that she was leaving Hammersley. She dreamed that she would be at sea for the rest of her career.

She had the idea that she would go up in the navy world and that she would end up in the chief commander in the navy. That really wasn't going to happen with her having a desk job.

She was about to walk out of the bridge when suddenly she felt a sudden stabbing pain in her stomach. She could barely breathe through the pain.

She tried to scream but the pain just consumed her. She was alone, she feared she was losing the babies, and it was her fault, she could have done too much, lifted something, had too much stress. She needed Mike and she couldn't shout for him. She hoped he would get to her soon before she blacked out; she was already curled up on the floor in the bridge.

"Kate!" Mike yelled. "Where are you?"

"Kate, KATE!" Mike began to panic you could tell by his voice.

He got to the bridge and she had already blacked out, Mike didn't know what to do.

"Kate, can you hear me," Mike said to her.

There was no reply. He thought about the babies, maybe she was losing the babies, it was common for triplets.

Mike thought that this was all his fault, he should have put his foot down and made Kate stay at home till she got a desk job instead of coming back on Hammersley. This was all his fault. Now his wife was ill and the babies lives are at risk.

"Swain! SWAIN!" Mike screamed knowing he was still on the ship checking his medical supplies.

Mike continued to call Swain until he appeared at the bridge. "What is the matter s,"

Before he even finished the sentence he noticed the X was on the floor.

"What happened sir?" Swain asked.

"I don't know what happened, I came up to look for her and she was just lying here on the floor, is she going to be okay?" Mike said concerned.

"We need to get into her into hospital as soon as possible, I really don't know what is wrong with her," Swain added.

"Okay, I'll get an ambulance now," Mike said still panicking.

The ambulance arrived and Mike went with Kate in the back of the ambulance. He could help but feel like he had been here before with Kate. The time she got shot and the time he went in the ambulance with her.

Swain followed in his own car.

NAVCOM had already been informed about Kate and being rushed into hospital.

Once the ambulance had arrived at the hospital Kate was rushed into the emergency department.

Mike didn't have a clue what was going on with his fiancé.

Commander Marshall turned up about half an hour later after Kate had been rushed in.

"How is she doing?" Marshall asked.

"I don't know, I haven't heard anything since she was rushed in, they think something is wrong with the babies, but I don't know."

"Babies?" Marshall quizzed.

"Oh I didn't have chance to tell you before we went back on Hammersley two weeks ago. We are expecting triplets," Mike said.

"Mike, what was she doing back on the ship with triplets, she should have known better, the ship could have sailed without its X. She has put the babies at risk," Marshall added with concern in his voice.

"I know, I told her that before we went on, she said she was find to go back on the ship, it was only two weeks and she knew that she was only doing light duties so she thought she would be okay, I tried to tell her, but you know with Kate, when she has her mind set on something you can't persuade her otherwise." Mike added.

The doctor now appeared and started walking towards Mike.

"Mr Flynn?" the doctor asked.

"Yeah that is me, is she okay? What happened? Are the babies okay?" there was two hundred questions that Mike wanted to know.

"If you come this way, I will answer all the questions you have," The doctor said.

Mike followed the doctor thinking the worst about Kate's condition.

Mike was lead to the room was Kate was. She was awake.

"Oh Kate, how are you? I was so worried about you," Mike said.

"I'm okay now," Kate said sleepily.

"What happened to her? Are the babies okay?" Mike asked the doctor.

"Yes the babies are okay," Mike sighed a sigh of relief, "because there is three babies and they are all growing, Miss McGregor isn't used to having three babies growing inside of her, so therefore her body hadn't adjusted to it and that was what happened, we need to keep her in hospital for the next few days for observation but you should be fine." The doctor continued.

"Oh Thank you doctor," Mike said.

"One more thing, when you come out of hospital I want you on complete bed rest for the next two weeks, and that is an order!" the doctor added.

"Of course, she won't be lifting a muscle," Mike said.

Mike sat by Kate's side in hospital for the next few days never leaving her side.

"Kate, this was a warning I don't want you doing anything for the next few months, I don't want you to risk your life or our babies, you lot mean everything to me and I couldn't bear it if anything happened to you four," Mike said starting to become serious.

"I know, I know," Kate said.

It had been three days since Kate was first taken into hospital. It was now time for Kate to leave the hospital much to her delight. They both hugged each other as they made their way out of the hospital. Mike opened the car door for Kate to get in and he shut the door behind her and climbed in the other side. They drove home to Kate's house were Mike was now a permanent residence.
