So to remind u guys this is a short story so I will be skipping to weeks and months and so forth on. please excuse my errors. Oh and just to warn you this is short.

Cora's POV

Tears pool in my eyes as Arthur and some other troops get ready to head off. The love of my life leaving for good. The pain in my heart is unbearable. I still have a month to go before I'm supposed to go back to the states. this is going to be a dreadful four weeks.

1 month and a half later

I am currently staying with my mamma . It's not all that but I need a place to stay at the moment. That nursing job didn't give me enough to get my dream home. It could barely get me a one room house.

And on top of that I'm a month and some weeks pregnant. Exhaustion is what I feel and I barely do anything but work at my mom's bakery and sit at home. Nothing more nothing Less.

Arthur came to mind. Oh my sweet sweet Arthur. He is probably having the time of his life . While I'm stuck here doing absolutely positively nothing.

Breathing out a sigh , I look out the front window waiting for something exciting to happen. This tired down city has nothing to do. Anything crazy hardly ever happens.

The whole town is like a clock. 1:44 Old Mr. Henry rides in his pick up down the rode given out free peaches and pecans. 2:05 kids get out of school heading over to Ms. Clarissa's house (she the candy lady). And then last but not least...... the mail man at 3:02. One more minute and he'll be here knocking on the door.

Right then and there the doorbell rang. hmm he came early. "momma I got it." I yelled

"Okay baby" she replied back

Opening the door . I take in a real quick breath. This can't be real. He can't be real.
