A week later James was back on the base in her apartment. Taylor had been staying with her for the time being helping the girl move around. James had been adamant about Taylor going back to her house not wanting the girl to have to miss work to help her but Taylor put her foot down and told her they were engaged and this is what engaged people would do for each other and to suck it up. James couldn't have been more turned on.
"So I submitted my application for the purple heart. I'll be talking to the sergeant major tomorrow though because they called me up there."
"What do you get for the Purple Heart thing?"
"It's just benefits with like the state and government jobs. If we ever have kids they'll have free college. Just stuff like that."
"Oh okay. Well I mean college wouldn't have been a problem for the kids but that's cool."
"How many kids do you want?"
This was the first time they had ever brought up kids.
"Well I don't know actually. I think 2 definitely because I wouldn't want them to be lonely. But definitely no more than 4."
"I like that and I agree."
The next day Taylor helped James get back home from her meeting with the sergeant. She was honorably discharged which wasn't unexpected. And her application was accepted for the Purple Heart. She was told she should apply for some government jobs just so she could keep getting benefits. She was going to regardless because that's all she's known.
As Taylor helped James out the car the girls didn't notice the neighbor a couple cars down talking a picture.
"So since I've been discharged I think we should look into a new place to live in. I mean I'm pretty much still allowed to live here but we are getting married and I want us to have a place of our own. If you want that too, I know you love your place. And I get benefits for home buying its a win win."
"I like that idea very much. Why don't we start looking once you are able to move around more? Are you thinking like another nyc apartment or a house?"
James sat on her designated spot on the couch and elevated her arm and leg. "That's okay. And I was thinking house. Just so we don't have to move around or anything once we start our family. We can buy our perfect forever home."

Taylor got a call from her publicist tree the same night.
"Tree, what's up?"
"Theres a photo of you at the base going around. What would you like me to do?"
"Oh god. Can you give me a minute and I'll text you back. I have to talk with James."
"Text me soon."
Taylor made her way over to the couch. James was half sleeping her head nodding off while the tv was playing house of the dragon. She felt bad waking up the girl but they needed to figure out what to do quick.
"My love, I have to talk to you real quick."
James jumped a little, frightened. Taylor rubbed the girls arm in a soothing manner. "It's just me baby. You're okay."
"What happened?"
"Someone leaked a picture of me here at the base. Tree is asking what we want to do about it."
"I'm fine with whatever you want baby."
"So if we make a statement saying we are engaged you're okay with it?"
"Of course baby."
