(The Mission Part One)

May 23rd

My phone goes off, waking me up. I reach to turn it off, the time read 5 am. Mine and Bradley's duffel bags were both packed and our uniforms laid out, so I really didn't need to wake up until 5:30. We had to be getting on the carrier at 6:30, but getting ready wouldn't take too long, Careful to not wake Bradley up, I scoot closer to him in bed. Usually he's a really heavy sleeper, but this time he isn't.

He woke up and looked at me with tired eyes. "Why you up so early baby?" He asks with his sexy raspy, sleepy voice. "I just wanted to be in your arms for a little before we had to leave." He wraps his arms around me but turning us so he's on top of me. I wrap my arms around him and he nuzzles into my neck. I start to scratch his shirtless back for a second but I stop, thinking he was asleep again. "Awww don't stop!" He says into my neck. I laugh and continue. He starts kissing my neck then up my jaw to my lips.

He's puts an arm on both sides of me to hold himself up, hovering over me. "You're hot as hell when you hover over me like this." I say looking right in his brown eyes. "And you're hot as hell when you wear my shirts." He says leaning down to kiss me. He pulls my shirt up to expose my stomach. I take my hands to cover it, it's a small insecurity of mine. "Don't cover up, you're beautiful." He moves my hands and kisses my belly. He leans back up to me. "I want a baby." My eyes go wide.

"Were you kissing my stomach hoping there's a baby in there?" I laugh. "No but it made me want to be able to kiss your stomach with a baby in it." I look at him for a second. "Let's do it then." His face turns to the same surprised face I had. "Wait really?" I nod. "Like you wanna do it right now?" He asks grinning. "Yes Bradshaw, now let's get to making a baby!" I laugh and he hurries and takes my clothes off.

Bradley falls on the bed beside me. "Shit." He says, out of breath. I laugh. "We gotta get ready babe." I tell my husband while pulling his shirt back on. I quickly brush my teeth, do my hair, the rest of the essentials while Bradley puts his uniform and everyone on. Then we switch. We walk out of my room with all of our things needed for the stay on the carrier.

"Hey Em, you ready for this?" Riley comes out of her room asking me. "Hell no." I say with a sigh. "Everything with be fine." She says hugging me. Bradley goes to take all of our bags to our cars. "Hey Bradshaw, we can all ride in my car." Riley says. He nods and takes them out. We walk out to the car, me in the passenger and Bradley in the back. "Can we stop by my moms first?" I ask Riley. "Yeah of course."

We pull up to my childhood home. I see my moms car is out front so I know she's home. I walk up and knock on the door. She answers it and her face drops when she sees me. "I, uh, came by to say bye." She starts tearing up and wraps her arms around me. "It's not a goodbye. You're coming home." I smile through my tears. Amelia walks out of the door and joins the hug. "I love you guys so much." "We love you Emma." My mom kisses my forehead.

We all three walks to the car, where Riley and Bradley get out. Amelia starts to cry too. "Hey stop, don't cry. I'll be back soon and when I get back we're going on vacation." I tell he hugging her again, she looks up at me. "Wait really?" I nod. After my mom hugs Riley she turns to Bradley and cries even more than before. "Hey mama, don't cry. Emma will be perfectly fine. I'll make sure she's safe." He says hugging her tightly. This, of course, makes me break down.

"You better be safe too. My little girl needs you to come back to her." "Of course." I hug my mom and sister one more time before leaving to board the carrier.
