I do not own nothing

Chapter twenty two Hospital again

Kate was still very confused at what Swain had just said. Mike had been involved in an accident there was no way, it was some kind of sick joke.

"What Mike...accident?" Kate said still confused.

"He was in the taxi in front of us and a car just drove straight into him, it all happened so fast," Swain replied.

"Lucy! What happened to Lucy is she okay?" Kate said through tears.

"Lucy is fine, she is with Becca as we speak, Mike has been rushed into hospital, he is in a serious way, you need to get down there now, Kate he really needs you," Swain said.

"Oh my god, I need to get down there, the children oh god, what do I do," Kate said in hysterics.

"Kate, calm down you can't out in this state, you need to calm down, Swain, you'll look after these two won't you? Whilst I take Kate the hospital," Nikki said joining in the conversation.

"Yeah, course Nikki, Becca is making her way over with 2Dads and Buffer at the moment, you two just go the hospital, will you be okay with her, she is distraught," Swain said quietly to Nikki.

"Yeah, I came over in my car this morning, I'll drive her, Come on Kate we will go now," Nikki said to Swain then Nikki.

Kate didn't say anything, she just followed Nikki to the black car outside of her own house. She just walked behind in a daze and climbed into the car.

Nikki helped Kate put her seat belt on because Kate was trying and failing to put it on. Kate's mind was elsewhere; all Kate could think about was whether Mike was going to be alive when she got there. What state would he be in?

"Kate, look at me, he is going to be okay, he is strong you know that, and he was strong for you when you got shot, now you really need to be strong again, Kate you can do this, you really can do this, you are one of the strongest people I know, now come pull yourself together," Nikki said.

Kate smiled at this.

Nikki started the ignition and pulled her way. She got to the hospital about half an hour later.

"Kate, remember, you can do this," Nikki said.

They both got out the car and started walking towards the hospital. Nikki could tell that Kate was getting more and more nervous with every step she took. She could see that Kate was shaking, her hands were trembling.

Nikki put her arm around Kate, and gave them a hug before she even got into the hospital. Nikki was also very nervous at what she might find, Mike had been a very good friend to her, when she lost ET which was only about four months ago, but she knew ET wouldn't have wanted her to be down about everything and now it felt like she was losing him too.

Nikki knew that she had to be strong for Kate, Kate needed her more than ever so she was going to be strong for her.

They broke away from the hug and continued to walk into the hospital. Everyone seemed to be rushing, everything passed in a blur for Kate.

She was walking to the reception desk and she tried to run to the desk but something was holding her back. The desk wasn't far away at all but it seemed to take forever to get there.

She finally reached the desk, "I'm looking for Mike Flynn," Kate said to the receptionist.

"And you are?" the receptionist asked.

"I'm his fiancé," Kate said getting more and more anxious.

"Okay, well if you two take a seat over there I will get the doctor to come and see you," the receptionist order.

Both Kate and Nikki walked over to a row of seats that were empty. Nikki held Kate's hand not wanting to let go. After sitting there a few minutes, Marshall walked over to them two. Kate instantly thought that if Marshall was here, it meant it was a good sign.

"Kate, how you doing?" Marshall asked Kate.

"Oh my god, it is Mike, he has gone hasn't he? Oh my god he is dead, what do I do? Why did it have t be him? He hasn't seen his children grow up, how am I going to cope without him?" Kate now becoming hysterical.

"Kate, calm down I saw him half an hour and he was still alive and very much conscious, Kate I think he is fine and going to make a full recovery." Marshall had said managing to control Kate.

"Kate, I told you he was going to be fine, he is strong, you both are strong," Nikki said to Kate.

They both gave Kate a hug to finally calm her down and she was now quiet. The doctor approached all three of them.

"Miss McGregor?" the doctor asked.

"Yeah that is me," Kate replied.

"Okay, well Mr Flynn had been involved in a very serious accident, when he was rushed in we thought he had spinal and head injuries, and possibly internal injuries," The doctor said.

"You said you thought, so has he got any of them?" Kate asked confused.

"When Mr Flynn came in we thought he was in a very serious condition but it turned out to be a slight concussion and a whiplash, so yes he is fine. I believe the paramedics checked your daughter out at the scene and she was given the all clear so someone took her home."

"Oh thank god he is okay, so can I see him now?" Kate asked.

"Of course, he has been asking for you," the doctor replied.

All three of them followed the doctor to a little room which felt a mile away from were they sat, but it reality it was a two minute walk.

They came to a white door, and walked in. There was Mike lying on the bed awake.

"Mike!" Kate rejoiced.

"Kate, I'm fine honestly, I hope you having been worrying," Mike said.

Kate was now giving Mike a hug.

"Worrying? Kate worrying? You are having a laugh right, she has been hysterical!," Nikki exclaimed.

"Oh Kate, you really shouldn't have, look I'm fine," Mike insisted.

"Yeah but I didn't know that, all Swain had said was that you were involved in an accident, and then I shut off at the details, I didn't want to know anymore, I thought I'd lost you, never, NEVER do that to me again, are you planning to give me a heart attack?" Kate asked.

"Oh Kate don't be silly, you cannot get rid of me that easily," Mike laughed.

Mike had cuts and bruises which had started to appear of the last hour that Kate was with him. Nikki and Marshall both had left the room to go get coffee for all of them, they thought they could all do with a cup.

"Mike please don't do that again, I didn't know what had happened or anything and I couldn't do I thing about it," Kate said.

"Oh Kate, Lucy? Lucy is she okay?" Mike said suddenly realising Lucy was still in the car with him.

"We called her Lucy for a reason Mike, because she was one of the luckiest children I have ever known, they gave her the all clear at the scene," Kate smiled.

Mike set out a sigh of relief, "Thank god, if anything had happened to her, I wouldn't know what I would have done," Mike replied.

"No and neither do I, so let us forget about it and stop worrying because everyone is going to be fine," Kate said holding Mike's hand.

"Kate, when I get out of here, we are arranging the wedding and we are getting married as soon as possible, I want you to become Mrs Flynn as soon as possible, I want us to be complete not just by family but by name as well," Kate was crying now that Mike had said.

Nikki and Commander Marshall walked back into the room, "Kate, what is the matter is everything okay?" Nikki asked, whilst Marshall just looked at Mike.

"Oh Nikki, they are just happy tears" Kate smiled, "I'm just glad Mike is okay, that is all,"

"We all are, I have rang the others and they are glad Mike is okay and Becca said she is fine with the children over night if you are staying here, I said you would give her a ring," Nikki said.

"Erm...yeah I think I will ring her and ask her to babysit over night so I can stay here with Mike, that is if she doesn't mind, I know three children to look after is difficult for one person never mind two," Kate said.

"Kate, it is fine honestly, I will go down and help her too, the two of us will be able to cope, it will be fine, stop panicking," Nikki replied.

"They can always get in touch with me if they need anything," Marshall had said.

"Oh thank you, that really means a lot to us," Kate said gratefully.

"Okay then, I better make my way to yours then and help Becca," Nikki said.

"Well, this has been a christening never to forget," Mike added.

"Well we best leave you to it then," Marshall said.

"Well, they said I can leave in the morning, they are only keeping me in for observation so we will be out first thing to take the children off you," Mike said.

"Oh don't worry what time you are back, we will survive till you get back," Nikki said.

"Thanks Nik, bye, I'll see you in the morning," Kate said.

"You two try and stop worrying and get some sleep," Marshall said.

"Bye," both Marshall and Nikki shouted and with that they were both gone.

"Mike, I love you now will you please get some sleep," Kate ordered.

"I love you too, but I don't want to close my eyes because I will miss you and I feel like I am wasting time when I am asleep,"

"Don't be stupid, Mike just go to sleep, I will still be here in the morning," Kate said, but before she finished the sentence Mike had already gone to sleep.
