I do not own nothing

Chapter twenty three – Back home.

Mike was released from the hospital early next morning, and him and Kate made their way home. They hadn't seen their children since yesterday and there was suppose to be a party but that kind of got cancelled due to Mike's accident.

They both couldn't wait to get home and see them. They both got a taxi home. Kate and Mike held hands all the way home.

"Mike, I am never letting you out of my sight again, every time I do, something always happens to you," Kate said.

Mike laughed, "Well you can certainly talk, getting shot and everything," Mike said.

"Yeah but you are also forgetting about the time when you got shrapnel in your leg and I thought I had lost you then," Kate added.

"You were with Jim then," Mike said through jealousy.

"Oh trust you to bring him up now, you know that I was more concerned for you and it just broke up after that, I loved you, not him, and you damn well know that!" Kate said a bit annoyed.

"No, I didn't know that at the time, but I certainly do know now, you have to remember I was unconscious at that time, but Kate I am so glad that me and you are together, I am so happy, I am the happiest I have ever been in a long time and that is all thanks to you," Mike said smiling.

"Now that, that little argument is over, can we start talking and arranging our wedding when we get home and sorted the children off, like you said yesterday the quicker I become Mrs Flynn the better," Kate said.

"Aww, our first argument and we aren't even married yet," Mike laughed.

"What our first? Do you not remember the millions we used to have on Hammersley?" Kate asked.

"Well you had always been the feisty one, but that doesn't count we weren't technically going on then," Both Mike and Kate laughed.

They arrived home within half an hour and Kate helped Mike into the house, not that he needed any help because Mike looked better than her.

Nikki opened the door when the taxi pulled up.

"Oh Mike, how are you?" Nikki asked.

"Yeah, yeah I feel great, glad to be out that stupid hospital, I'm sure between me and Kate we have spent more time in there since coming off Hammersley," Mike laughed.

"God Kate, you look worse than Mike, if I hadn't of known I would have said it was you that was involved in the accident," 2Dads said.

"Er..thanks 2Dads, well you certainly have a way with girls," Kate said sarcastically. "Anyways what are all you lot doing here?" Kate said to the whole crew.

"Well, considering they are our god children, we thought that if one of us was babysitting we might as all babysit considering it was out first time you left us in charge," Buffer stated.

"And we also missed the party Kate, so we are expecting one very soon," Charge added.

"Right well I shall start organising that as well," Kate said.

"As well?" Becca questioned.

"Well we are trying to organise the wedding for as soon as possible, and probably within a few months, but don't worry we will make sure you've all got shore leave, considering you are either bridesmaids or ushers," Kate laughed.

Everyone cheered, they were finally preparing to tie the knot.

"Finally, the wheels are now in motion!" Nikki exclaimed.

"Jeeze, sometimes I think you two girls are more obsessed for this wedding than Kate is," Mike laughed.

Everyone laughed.

"They are, what you on about it is their only chance to meet some fellas because they haven't got any," 2Dads smirked.

"Is that why you have girls running after you every week, I mean every time we had shore leave, you used to see a big long queue of girls waiting didn't you 2Dad," Mike stated.

This time all the girls laughed. Their CO, well Ex CO now, was sticking up for them against 2Dads, because 2Dads didn't even have a girl friend and he was taking the mick.

He had over stepped the mark with Nikki and only Kate could see it, so she walked over to Nikki and whispered quietly into her ear, "Are you okay? I can put a word in with you CO to make him scrub everywhere with a toothbrush if you want?" Kate had said.

"Kate, honestly I am fine, but I will make him do that when I get back," Nikki whispered.

They both smiled and got back to the conversation that was going on in the rest of the room.

"Well then, considering we can see that Mike and Kate are okay, I think we can leave them in peace to sleep and catch up with their children," Swain said.

"That is a good idea," Nikki said.

With that everyone gave Kate and Mike hugs and left them alone in peace, but not before they said to ring them if they wanted anything.

Both Mike and Kate were both grateful to have such friends who were always willing to help them. They showed that last night when they all came together to help babysit between them, god knows where everyone had slept.

Both Kate and Mike went to see their beautiful fast asleep children and admired what a perfect life they have.

They both sat down on their bed and hugged each other, knowing they were both lucky to have each other.

"I love you, Mr Mike Flynn,"

"I love you, soon to be Mrs Kate Flynn,"

"So any ideas were you want to have the wedding set?" Mike asked.

"What about..."
