From The Battle Field And Back

Chapter 8:Down And Back Again

After i was fully healed i had to go back,

And it was now November,

And Grace was now Three months pregnant,

And i hated to leave her again but i had no choice,

Same place,

Doing the same things,

But it didn't feel the same no more,

Not without Lance,

But my job now was to introduce new recruits in amd train them,

But I honestly just wanted to be home with my wife,

When January came in it was a new year and i was soon to be 20,

And Grace was getting bigger then ever,

Seeing that she was now 5 months pregnant,

One day while she was out when my sister she began to get contractions,

So her and my sister went and sat down on a bench,

Mary:are you ok?

Grace:yea yea...

And thats when mary took her hand amd placed it on her stomach,

Mary:do you know the gender yet?

And thats when Grace nodded her head and said,

Grace:it's a boy

Mary:a boy that's great

Grace:yeah just like Charlie wanted two boys and at least one girl 3 kids in total

Mary:wow

Grace:yeah

Mary:what is it like giving birth to a new life

And thats when Grace laughed and said,

Grace:painful very painful

Mary:are you scared about doing it again?

Grace:kinda I really want Charlie to be here for this one he already missed angel

Mary:its ok Grace

Grace:no its no i just...it's harder then I thought it would be and this distance is getting to me...but he's doing what he gotta do to take care of me and i love him but i want him here with me

Mary:i know...

Grace:know what?

Mary:That man loves you with every fiber of his being and you can see it by the way he looks at you

Grace:you do?

Mary:yeah I ain't the only one everyone sees it

And thats when grace just smiled then said,

Grace:ok lets go ahead an go up this escalator before i get nauseous again

Mary:ok...

And thats when Mary helped grace up,

As they made they're we up the escalator just talking and laughing,

And once she was getting ready to get off she slipped and fell flat on her stomach,

Mary:Grace?? Grace???....
