Carmen's POV:

Chris and I decided to go to the mall and walk around before we get pizza. We get out of the car and he pulls me into him for a kiss. I smile, "I love you." I say softly.

"I love you too Car!" He smiles and wraps his arm around my waist as we walk into the mall.

I see someone with long, red hair in front of us pushing a stroller. I hit Chris's arm, "Hey my aunt Megan is here! Come on!" We walk to catch up and I clear my throat, "ma'am I'm afraid strollers aren't allowed."

She turns around quickly and laughs, "Carmen! And oh my god Chris!"

Chris chuckles, "Hey Megan. How are you?"

Megan smiles, "I am good. This is Harper!" She says as she turns the stroller towards Chris. "How was basic?"

"It was good! I am only here until the 20th. Then I have to go for advanced training."

"Ooo that one is way more fun! But I will let you two enjoy your date. Love you guys!"

I chuckle, "Love you too Aunt Megan." I say back as she is walking away from us.

Chris and I start walking again, "She is way more of the joking type as opposed to your dad."

I nod, "That's why she calls him Eeyore or grumpy." We both laugh.

We decided to get pizza and sit in the trunk of Chris's car to eat it. We aren't fancy people, and don't like fancy dates. It just has never been our style.

"So you move into school in a few days. How do you feel?" He asks as I lean into him while we eat our pizza.

I sigh, "Excited, nervous, sad. Is it possible to be all three?"

He nods, "I definitely think it is. You are excited because you have been wanting to do this for so many years, nervous because you are moving to a whole new state, sad because you are leaving your family who you are so close with."

"Wow. You really just read my mind on all of that." I chuckle and look up at him.

"Carmen you are going to do great. I know you will. You will make so many new friends, and you can call home every night if you want. I know for a fact that they will love to hear from you. Do you think your parents are going to cry? Are youuu going to cry?" He says as he rubs my arm.

I laugh, "Well my mom will 100 percent cry. I think I will too a little bit saying goodbye. And I am not sure about my dad. I think right now he is stuffing all of his emotions down, which slightly worries me. But I am sure he will process things eventually."

"Your family loves you Car. I am so proud of you though, I can't wait to hear all about you kicking ass. And we are going to get through all of these crazy times of training, med school, deployment. We are going to be together through it all. I promise you that." He smiles softly at me.

I smile back, "We can do anything." He grasps my hand and kisses the top of it before leaning in to kiss my lips.

We walk into the house and see my parents helping the kids get everything together in their spots. My mom turns around, "Hey guys! You two get the big couch. Dad and I are sleeping on the air mattress because the couch hurts my back too much."

"Alright mom, sounds good." I say as Chris and I walk into in the living room. Blake comes over to us holding Peter the Penguin. "Hi Chris" she says softly causing us both to chuckle.
