I do not own nothing

Chapter twenty – surprise party and first day home.

The crew all came out of the door proceeding to shake Mike's hand and to give Kate a hug and kiss.

She had felt so honoured that she had such good friends that were there to surprise her but also to be there for her.

Buffer, Charge and 2Dads went to the car were the babies still were and lifted their car seats out of the car so that Kate and Mike didn't need to do it. They already had enough going on when the babies started crying.

They proceeded to carry the car seats in as quickly as they could so that they could settle the babies again.

The house was filled with balloons and banners and it had looked like they had spent all morning doing it.

"Oh my god guys this is amazing, thank you so much," Kate said.

"Anything for our beautiful god daughters," Buffer replied.

Kate could see that the babies were still crying so she, Bomber and Nikki each picked up one of the babies to try to calm them down.

"Mike can you do me a favour and heat three bottles up please," Kate had asked.

"Oh Kate can I feed Josh?" who was the baby that was in Nikki's arms.

"Yeah course, and Becca don't think you are getting out of it either, you are feeding Olivia," Kate said as a statement.

Everyone was talking amongst themselves when the microwave pinged. The babies bottles were ready.

Mike came back into the living where everyone was sat staring at the three children. Their god children. Everyone was happy that they were all home, safe and well. Especially after yesterday when Kate went into labour at a shopping centre.

"Well, Kate, it certainly has been an exciting few days, hasn't it?" Mike said to Kate.

Kate laughed, "Tell me about it."

The children stopped crying and needed their nappies changing so she thought that the lads were going to have to learn one day. Swain already knew how to change a nappy so she gave the jobs to Mike, Buffer and 2Dads.

"Will you three stop moaning, you are going to have to do it one day whether you like it or not so stop moaning and get on with it," Kate had said like she was still the XO of Hammersley.

The others just laughed at what Kate had said and what the chosen three had to do.

"I don't see why you are laughing, you'll be doing it next time," She said to the other lads.

This time it was only the three girls laughing because they all knew how to change a nappy, it was in their instinct.

After the babies had been fed and cleaned, Mike, Kate and Nikki had all rocked the babies off to sleep so she took them upstairs and put them into their moses baskets in her and Mikes' room.

She turned the baby monitor on and brought the other one downstairs.

"Kate, fancy a glass of wine? You deserve one, I'll stay completely sober so you don't need to worry about the children, I have it covered," Mike said.

"Oh trusting you by yourself with the babies, hmmm?" Kate laughed.

Kate knew perfectly well that mike was very capable himself at looking after the children so she thought that a glass wouldn't do much harm.

"I'll have a small one mike, one half I don't feel much like drinking, but whilst socialising it will be nice," Kate said.

Mike brought Kate a glass of wine from the fridge and took it to the living room where Kate and the girls had been.

Mike then returned to the kitchen were he sat at the table with the rest of the lads.

"Well you certainly have him trained well, him looking after the kids while you go out. It'll be perfect," Rebecca said.

"I know," Kate laughed, "Start as I mean to go on,"

At this all the girls started laughing. It was nice to catch up with them two as she hadn't really had chance in ages and when they tried last time, Kate went into labour.

"So much going on, on Hammersley?" Kate had asked.

"No , it hasn't been as much fun since you two have left, it really has been boring, but Nikki really is a good executive officer, but the CO on the other hand...can we have Mike back?" Rebecca had said.

Kate laughed, "Get lost, he is mine now,"

The three of them laughed.

"Anyways why do we have to take about work, when there is so much gossip to talk about," Nikki stated.

"Gossip?" Kate questioned.

"Yeah, girl gossip," Added becca.

"What you mean?" Kate still confused.

"Well you've just had triplets so there is plenty to talk about, there is also christenings for them and not to mention a big things called your wedding!" Nikki said.

Now Kate knew exactly where she was coming from about gossip and Kate took this as a perfect opportunity to discuss the wedding with the girls due to the fact that both of them were her bridesmaids.

"Well, my wedding came up in conversation this morning to be honest," Kate said.

"And?" Becca had enquired.

"Well, we both want to get married and we would like it to be soon, and obviously need Hammersley to have shore leave at the time considering you are my bridesmaids," Kate continued. "We both want it in this country and before the children turn one, so it is going to be a rush wedding, what you think girls, think we can pull it off?" Kate asked.

"With us as a team, anything is possible," Nikki replied.

"Now that is my attitude talking," Rebecca said.

"So here goes, my wedding gets put into motion, but god I need to lose all this weight I cant get married looking like this," Kate said concerned.

"Kate you have just had triplets, you were bound to put on weight, and with the amount of time you will be running around like headless chickens after the children you will have lost it. So Kate stop worrying it was only yesterday that you had your children, remember?" Nikki said with her serious head.

Nikki was right, she should have more common sense than that, she was used to having so much common sense, maybe it was the hormones kicking up, that is what she blamed everything on.

Kate hadn't realised but she had began drifting off and on, this is when nikki and Becca decided that it was time for them both to get some sleep, they had welcomed them home, now they were to leave them as a new family, a family of five that had been built up so quickly.

Nikki rounded the rest of the troops up and they all said their goodbyes to each other and was about to head to the door.

Nikki turned round, "Ring me at anytime if you need anything, no matter what time just ring me and I'll be there as quickly as I can," Nikki said.

"Oh thanks Nikki, that means a lot, good night." Kate replied.

And with that they upped and left. They were alone.

Mike and Kate just stood and looked at them, "well that has been a nice surprise and I'm knackered. I think we should try and get some sleep before the babies wake up and want their feed," Mike had said.

With that they both headed upstairs to try and get a decent night sleep.

"I love you Kate," Mike said.

"I love you too, Mike," Kate had replied.

With that, as soon as their head touched the pillow, they were both asleep
