Ghost from past

Chapter 13

HMAS Melbourne docked back in Cairns. Bomber was desperate to come home and see Pete, see him somewhere where they weren't two sailors, officers, somewhere where they were just simply people, just two people who...who...who...liked each, just Pete and Becca. Too much paperwork, too much formulation to be done. Bomber couldn't wait to Nikki says they can go. When she told it, Bomber was one of first people who left ship. She practically run out from it and almost kick Chefo on ground. She took a cab and went into hotel.

Bomber sighed when she entered in her hotel room. She really hated it and she should to find a some normal place for living. Bomber quickly change herself and put some dress on. She take her purse and went out.

Buffer was at home. He was first on patching in hospital, then on tetanus shot. What a mess? But he was happy too. McClean finally was in prison, he couldn't hurt Bomber on any way anymore. That thing was making him happy. He really was scared of his feelings towards Bomber. She was younger than him by good 10 years, she was attracing young woman. She could have whoever she wanted and he really didn't know what she was seeing into him. Buffer knew she could left him and he also knew it would broke his heart. Peter Tomaszewski knew very well that feeling. It was love. Doorbell interrupted him in his thoughts. He raised and opened a door.

"Becca what brings you by? I didn't know Melbourne returned so fast back in Cairns." said Buffer and let her through and then close a door.

"We returned back into port two hours ago. Ship needs new XO." said Bomber and put her purse on sofa and looked back into Buffer. "How is your arm?" she added looking into him.

"Good. Healing." he answered looking into her. Bomber sighed. Every look what he throw in her way with his brown eyes was making her more nervous.

"Good." she said and looked into him. "We have to talk. Ok, I have to tell you something." Bomber added.

"Something wrong?" Buffer asked and looked into her eyes begging God it won't be a bumping thing.

"No. I hope so. You probably are considering me as some young scrumpy cook, but I think I fell in love into you." Bomber said remaining on same spot still looking into Buffer.

"Bec..." started Buffer while he was looking into her.

"I said it. And it is probably the best thing to I go." said Bomber, take her purse and start to walk towards door. Buffer take her for her arm and made her to turn to him. "What? I said it all what I wanted and I think it is better to go home." she added but he stopped her.

"Well now I am not going to let you go. Ever again." said Buffer and pull her closer to him and kiss her.

Year later

"This was long six weeks ma'am." said Jamie sitting for a radar.

"Indeed Jamie. Very long. And it was very long especially for us who have someone at home waiting for us to come home." said Nikki and looked into her XO for a moment, then she returned her glance back on sea horizon.

"Ma'am, can we a word? In private please." said Bomber when she came on bridge.

"Petty officer Tomaszewski of course." said Nikki and looked into her medic. She raised from her chair, give a ship to her XO and followed Bomber out of bridge. They reached CO's cabin and entered in.

"What is it Bomber?" asked Nikki and looked into her best friend.

"I think that you will need a new main medic from next patrol." said Bomber with smile.

"Why? You are leaving? What for?" asked Nikki bit disappointed.

"Yes. Me and Pete hide it for a while, but I am pregnant." said Bomber with big smile on her face.

"Wow. Congratulations. These are great news." said Nikki with happy smile. "You two really deserved it." she added.

"Thank you ma'am." said Bomber.

"Go and take some rest. We will be in port two hours." said Nikki and Bomber nodded and went into her cabin.

Two hours later, Melbourne docked in Cairns. Bomber went out of the ship and she was waited by her husband.

"I missed you." said Pete and pick her up and twirg her in air and kiss her.

"I missed you too. I love you so much." said Bomber holding herself for his shoulders.

"I love you too." said Buffer. "So how are you two?" he added still holding her in his arms.

"Perfectly fine. And happy." Bomber answered. "I told Nikki. She was bit disappointed with that she is staying on ship without her medic and friend but she accepted it." added Bomber and kiss him.

"And Jamie?" asked Buffer jealousy.

"Are you still jealous on him? You don't have to be jealous on him because I love only one guy and that is you." she said and wrapped her arms around his neck.

"Ok." said Buffer and kiss top of his nose. Buffer then glance on deck of Melbourne and saw Jamie on there. He put Bomber back on her feets and kiss her passionately.

Jamie was looking on them and that was broking his heart on lot of pieces.

"Why is she leaving a ship?" asked Jamie when he noticed Nikki by his side.

"Bomber is pregnant." answered Nikki and looked into her XO. "You still love her?" she added knowing every member of her crew in heart.

"Yes I do. And I probably will always love her." said Jamie with sigh.

"But she choose. And her choice was Peter." said Nikki.

"I know and I accepted it long ago. Just still can't see what she sees in him but ok. If she is happy, I am happy too. And I have to tell you ma'am that NavCom granted my transfer request." said Jamie. Nikki looked into him and sigh.

"Ok." she said and nodded and then returned back into ship.
