When we landed, there was other soldiers around guiding the plane. We got off and stretched. Our captain was waiting for us at the terminal. He guided us to the trucks and we drove to the camp. Along the way, we saw everything. There was a destroyed town that with people covered in dust and rumble everywhere. There were soldiers everywhere gathering all the people together and putting them in a safe house.

We got to the camp and were given a map of the area. "Memorize this. It will help you very much when moving from each area. We were given all the supplies we needed. Next I was assigned to a bunk bed and I put my sons' stuff on top. I stuck the picture on the bottom of the bunk above me. Everything else went below my bed. My comrades did the same thing. Put their kids stuff on top the bed and a picture either on the ceiling or on the bottom of the top bunk. I looked around and saw teddy bears, Blankets, Toy trunks, Barbie dolls, and one guy had a t-shirt from his daughter. Here no one judges anyone on the things we brought because we all know it is hard to leave family behind.

"ATTENTION!" we hear the Captain shout. We line up at the end of our bunks. He hollered multiple commands and we followed. I was running everywhere, basically. At the end of each day we were tired, but we got up and did the same thing. In about 3 months we were able to go with the rest of the team, to a site and look for weapons. We had a search dog to look for illegal weapons and people. One day when we got back we found a computer sitting on our beds. "Everyone has one hour of internet. Go!" I searched for Facebook and messaged Castiel. He answered enthusiastically with 'Babe! I miss you so much.' 'I miss you, too' I typed back. Then I hear a beep sound for the video chat. I click on the green phone on the screen and I see my sons' faces. "Hey boys. I miss you."

"I miss you. THIS MUCH DADDY" Joshua put his arms out.

"I miss you, more Daddy." Max kisses the screen.

"Are you being nice to Dada? Are you helping him out."

"Yes Daddy. We are good."

"Can Daddy see Dada."

"Okay, Daddy. We love you this much, Daddy." They put their arms out and went to play with Sam.

"Hey Baby."

"Hi Babe. I miss you so much."

"I miss you too" A tear rolls down my cheek and I smile at Cass's glowing face.

"Wanna see our baby?"

"Of course!"

He holds up a black and white picture. He/She is so chubby. "I hope it is okay but I kept the gender a secret."

"Its fine, Baby. I wanted it to be a surprise for when I come home."

"5 months right?"

"That's what they are telling me."

HOURS UP! I hear someone holler. "I am sorry, Cass. I have to go. I love you."

"I love you too."

The screen went black. I went to sleep holding onto the bear and blanket while thinking of Castiel.
