Hayden's POV

I was now 9 months pregnant. Little bear was due any day now. Sam and I knew the name and gender but we've kept it a secret from everyone. We wanted everyone to be surprised. Everyone was outside today and Sam had the shotgun shooting at the target. Since he was a Scout Snipper, he hit the target perfect every time. God help the boys who try to date our daughter when we have one. That's why Sam wants a boy. So that he could help him defend our daughters honor or whatever. I was drinking a glass of sweet tea that Annabelle made then felt a sharp pain. I fall to my knees. Everyone looks at me and Sam runs over.

"I think Little Bear is coming!" I yelled. Connor called 911. Sam held one hand while Annabelle held the other. The ambulance got here and Sam and Annabelle rode to the hospital with me. They gave me pain killers and it helped with the pain. They put me in a room and Sam and Annabelle were in there. I felt a contraction and squeezed Sam's hand tight. After 3 hours of contractions a doctor finally said I was 10 centimeters dialated. I pushed when he said and Little Bear was born! Sam cut the umbilical cord and they took Little Bear away to get cleaned up.

"Is it a boy or girl!?" asked Annabelle.

"You'll have to wait and see." I said and looked at Sam. A few minutes later the burse came back with a little blue blanket. Annbelle was crying happy tear and the nurse laid Little Bear on my chest.

"Do you have a name?" asked the doctor.

"Yes. Hunter John Pottorff." said Sam. The doctor nodded and wrote down the name. I kissed Hunter's forehead. His birthday is April 14, 2019, 2:27pm.

"Hey Hunter. I'm your mommy. I love you." I said. I handed Hunter to Sam.

"Hey Hunter. I'm your Daddy. I'll always love you." he said. I saw a tear of joy come down his face. I looked at Annabelle.

"Hey An can you go get the guys?" I asked. She nodded and left to go get the boys. 5 minutes later they walk in and see the blue blanket.

"I knew it would be a boy! Jc you owe me 5 bucks!" said Connor

"Ricky owes me 10!" said Kian.

"Nash owes me 8!" said Cameron.

"You all bet on his gender?" I asked. They all nodded.

"So what's his name?" asked Ricky.

"Hunter John Pottorff." I said.

"It's a perfect name." said Jack J. Hunter was passed around to everyone and these guys act all tough but when they held Hunter they all melted like butter. They all talked in baby voices and finally I was allowed to leave. They gave me a wheelchair and I had to be wheeled out of the hospital. We got home and we already had everything ready. David and Hunter were going to be sharing mine and Annabelle's old room. Luckily David was a heavy sleeper so Hunter won't wake him up. I feed Hunter than lay him in his crib to sleep. I go into mine and Sam's room and see him reading a letter. He had one had holding the letter and the other was holding his head. He was sitting on the edge of his bed.

"Sam what's wrong?" I asked. He looked up at me.

"Nothing sweetie. Everything is fine."

"You're lying." I said.

"It's just some military stuff."

"What kind of military stuff!?"

"I'm leaving next year for a very long time."

"What? You've only been here 9 months!"

"I'm leaving next year in June."

"I love you." I said. Sam stood up and hugged me. We just stood there holding each other. I knew this was going to happen. Now I was going to be a single mom and have to raise Hunter without Sam for the most part. But I will make sure Hunter knows what his daddy was doing for our country. I kiss him then change out of hospital clothes and into sweatpants and Sam's T-shirt. I hear Hunter cry and run in and change his diaper. I put him back to bed then feel someone tugging on my shirt. I look down and David was there. I smile and pick him up.

"Hey Bunny look. Meet your cousin Hunter."

"Is he your baby?"

"Yep. He's mine and Sam's baby."

"Cool! Does that mean I get to teach him stuff!" I laugh.

"Yep. It does." I said. Annabelle came in.

"Hey David say bye to Aunt Haydy. It's your nap time." she said taking him. She got him ready for his nap.

"Bye Aunt Haydy!"

"Bye Bunny." Annabelle put him to bed and he was out like a light.

"Our boys." she said looking at David. I looked at Hunter."

"Our boys." I said. We left them to sleep. I go back to mine and Sam's room. He was passed out on the bed. I crawl in with him and make sure the baby monitor's on. I look at his side. He had a little scar from where he was shot and then he also got a tattoo on his bicep. I was of the USMC symbol and it said Semper Fi. I kiss his cheek and whisper,'Stay safe Hero.'
