"Barnes! Mail!" The drill sergeant yells and throws the mail on my bed. I instantly grab it, smiling when I see her name in the top left corner. I've been trying to call her but every time I get a minute, I'm always called to do some random shit. I haven't heard her voice in two months.
I sit on my bed, opening her letter.
Jamie, I hope you are doing well, know that I miss you. I don't know when you'll be getting this but I'd love it if you could call me when you do. If you can't, stop reading this right now.
I instantly stop, jumping up and running to the phone. I have 5 minutes before dinner so I punch in her phone number and anxiously wait.
"This is Evangeline Jones." I sigh in relief when I hear her voice.
"Hi sunflower."
"Jamie?! Oh my god!" I hear a sob escape her and my chest tightens. "I miss you so much." She sniffles.
"I miss you too, baby. I uh I got your letter. I stopped where you said to." I tell her.
"Good... I didn't want to have to tell you this in a letter." She sniffles again.
"What's wrong, baby?" I instantly become worried.
"I'm pregnant. There's a copy of the ultrasound on the back. I- fuck I miss you so much. I'm sorry..."
"You're pregnant?" I flip the letter over and sure enough, there's a copy of the ultrasound. Tears well up in my eyes. I'm going to be a dad? "Oh my god... I'm going to be a dad? Wait... why are you sorry?" I ask.
"Because I know now isn't the right time." She sniffles.
"Baby, I love you. Don't be sorry, ok? I'm so happy." I get cut off by the dinner bell ringing. "I hate to cut this short but I have to go. I promise I'll call soon. I love you, sunflower."
"I love you too." I reluctantly hang up. The ultrasound is still in my hand. I can't believe I'm going to be a dad.
"Everything ok?" Tyler asks.
"She's pregnant. I'm going to be a dad." I admit.
"Hey! That's great! Congratulations man!" He slaps my shoulder. I wish I was home. She should be in my arms right now. I'm sure she's scared and nervous. I pray Steve is with her. She'll need someone while I'm gone.
Realization hits me... I'll be gone when she gives birth. I won't meet our child for a while. "Uh hey I'm going back to the bunks." I grab a sandwich and walk back. As I sit in my bed, I read the rest of her letter.
Hopefully, you know by now. I'm 7 weeks along, as of June 19th. Steve went with me and has been sleeping on the couch since then. I've tried telling him, he could go home but he refuses.
I'm scared, James. You won't be here for the birth. He or she will be a month or two by the time you get back. I don't know if I can do this without you. I don't want to. I want you here with me. You deserve to be in the appointments and helping me pick out a name. Which, I guess you should start thinking of. I'll add my suggestions in my next letter.
I love you, my soldier. Your sunflower
Damn I miss her so much. I stick the ultrasound picture in my hat along with the picture of her.
Will we have a boy? Or a girl? I kind of hope we have a girl. And that she looks like her mom. Isabella Barnes. I do like that name. Or if we have a boy, James Jr would be nice.
I decide to call her again, since no one is in here.
"James?" She answers on the second ring.
"Hi baby."
"Hi. I thought you had dinner?"
"I did but I wasn't hungry. I did come up with a name though." I tell her.
"Ok... let's hear it."
"Isabella. I kind of want a girl. But I want her to look like her mom." I admit.
"I like Isabella." We continue talking for a few minutes, until people begin coming back. I reluctantly let her go and go sit on my bed with a piece of paper and pen.
Sunflower I am beyond excited to become a dad. A mini me or you running around is what I see in our future. I know you're nervous but Steve will take care of you. Once I get back, we will get married, with our baby.
It's looking like I will be done in March 1943. It's a hope but I will be deployed soon after. They want me to do sniper training and then go out to the front lines. But we are able to come home for Christmas, I'll get a week. I will speak to my commander and see if there's a way I can get home for the birth. I will do everything I can, I promise.
Keep sending me ultrasounds and update me on everything. We will speak soon.
I love you, baby. Jamie
I seal the letter and write her address before going to the command post. "Sir. May I have a moment?" I ask.
"What is it Barnes?" He sighs.
"My fiancé just told me she's pregnant. She'll be due in January of next year. I am asking to be sent home in time for that." I tell him.
"No can do son. You're one of our best and we need you to do sniper training. You can be sent home once it's complete." My jaw tenses but I nod. "Congratulations and for what it's forth, I'd send you if I could."
