Piers Nivans x Reader Part 1/3 [Being Whole Again ~ Revenge]

20. Just A Step Away

You sit on the edge of your bed. You are still in your PJ's, because Mary said she'd give you your uniform.
Last night still buzzes in your head. 'God dammit...Why..?' you let yourself fall back. //Long Hair: You braid a strand of your hair without really noticing it. You like it, because it takes away one strand that always sticks out. You grab a thin hair band and fix it.//
'Why did I do this ? Everything was fine. Why do I always ruin everything ?' you think sadly. You sigh and push yourself out of your bed.
You walk to your mirror. You comb through your (h/l) (h/c) hair and //Short Hair: pull it in a low pigtail. //Long Hair: pull it in a low side tail, letting your hair fall over your shoulder.//
You stick your head out of your tent. You look around and see Piers walking away. You sigh and set off to Mary's, hoping he didn't see you.
'I must look like a paranoid old lady, looking around like that.' you think, while glancing at your surroundings.
Soon you enter Mariella's tent. She is already waiting for you.
"Good morning, bambina." She smiles at you. Mary seems so happy and now you know it was worth it, to make phone calls for hours to get her husband here.
"Good morning." You say with a tired smile. You tried to get sleep, but well. SOMETHING was in your mind that wouldn't let you.
"Did you went to bed earlier yesterday ? I didn't see you again after you presented my husband to me. "
She asks a bit concerned. You are known for staying up all night. So this was quite unusual.
"Yes. I guess you can say so." you lie. Hopefully she wouldn't ask further. Your mind is still spinning and that wouldn't make it easier.
"Ahh...Anyways, I left your uniform over there. Put it on, please."
And you do as requested.
Mary is awesome. You uniform fits so perfectly and it feels so comfy.
You are wearing black, tight fitting sports pants, which seem to be quite elastic yet stable and they also cover your feet. Thank god, no irritating shoes.
A dark blue sports bra and a an anthracite hoodie cover your upper body. Everything is so comfy.
And last but not least she organized partly finger-less gloves in a women's size.
Out of fun you throw on your hood, to see it covers almost everything of your face, but you still can see perfectly.
After putting on the holsters on both your thighs and one around your back, you walk to Mary.
"I knew it would fit. You look great, (y/n)." Mary says, clasping her hand approvingly.
"And I feel great. Thank you, Mary." You walk to her and hug her. She hugs you back. After you pull away Mary exclaims "Oh my ! I almost forgot."
And she begins to search through her closet. After a minute she cheers and says "Come here. I've got something for you, that might come in handy."
You walk over to her.
She puts it in your hand. It is a climbing axe.
"Wow...Do I want to know where you got that thing ?" You ask Mary smirking, twirling your new item in your hand.
"Nope." You both laugh. After you put the axe away securely, you turn to Mary again.
"Thank you, for everything." You say
"Anytime, bambina."


You grab your rifle, strap it on your back and enter the tent Finn told you to.
Chris, Piers and Marco are already there. A few other soldiers too, but you can remember names like a fish can walk, if you know what I mean.
You look around. Chris approaches you "The uniform Mariella volunteered to get ?" he asks, extending a hand. You grab it and he holds it up. You spin around yourself.
"Yes, and I love it." You say smiling. Finn now enters last minute and comes to a halt on your right side, panting.
Chris stands next to Finn. You feel someone standing on your left side, but you don't dare to look back, fearing to face Piers.
"Ok. You know the mission and you have your orders. And no one gets left behind." Chris says. Man, his speeches are awesome, every time.
"Nobody's expendable." Piers' voice rings to you as he speaks up. And you were right; he's standing right behind you. 'Don't blush Don't blush Don't blush...aa..shit...too late' you think but then you notice the warmth inside you.
"Right. Now get moving." Chris orders. You walk straight to the helicopter, jumping in.
You pull your rifle from your back and take a seat, near a window.

After a while you start looking around. You see Marco, checking his equipment along with Finn.
Piers is checking something on his rifle. Normally, you would go to him and ask if you could help. Normally.
And then you see Chris. In his thinking position. There are two options. He is thinking about something good or he is thinking about something he won't tell you.
Deciding that it would be better than just sitting around, you stand up and carefully walk to him.
You sit down next to him.
"What are you thinking about ?" You ask shyly. He looks at you and chuckles. Chris shakes his head and says "Nothing..."
"That didn't look like nothing." You grin at him. He gives up and pulls out his phone. He opens the gallery and the folder with pictures Jill sent him.
He pick one and hands you the phone.
It is loading.
Then you can see it. A pregnancy test. And it seems like it is positive.
Your eyes widen, you look at Chris, back to the picture, back at Chris, back at the picture.
"I-Is it what I think it is ?" You whisper, not knowing if he wanted the whole team to know.
Suddenly he grabs his phone, tugs it away and hugs you tight, standing up and spinning you around. You yelp and laugh.
"Yes ! Yes, it is !" Chris puts you down. All the soldiers gather around you two, looking at Chris he had just grown a third eye.
"Men. I'm gonna be a father !"
All the soldiers cheer and clasp. Many walk up to them and congratulate him. Piers does it and whispers something in Chris' ear. After that, Piers is almost crashed in a bear hug. He stumbles back a bit. You catch him a bit.
You all freeze as the pilots say "We arrived, Ladies and Gentleman. Ready yourselves.

You grab your rifle and position yourself at the exit.
You take a deep breath.
Piers appears next to you "Your revenge is just a step away (y/n). And we are with you, don't forget that, ok ?" He smiles down at you slightly.
Something between laugh and sigh escapes your lips and you nod.

"Ok. This is it !" Chris shouts and all the soldiers jump out of the helicopter.
