War Torn

Chapter 66

Felicity pov
I had my first public engagement since Sofia was born today. Rory's wedding didn't count since that was a private event. Harry and Milo were going to accompany me on my endeavor. We were going to see some soldiers train and also inspect them.

I finished putting my uniform on and then I pulled my hair back into a tight bun. Milo came over and nudged my leg. "Hey buddy, Get My shoes,"  I said pointing to my shoes by the closet.

I had trained him to get my shoes while I was pregnant, since I was tired of having to bend over to get them. I did it now because I was too lazy to get them. Milo placed my shoes on my lap and I thanked him with a treat. I put my shoes on and got up. I put Milo's service vest on and I grabbed my phone. I took Milo's leash and I gave him the command to go. We went to the living room of our apartment of Kensington. Harry, Martha and Marcus were waiting for me.
"And she's all ready." Martha said looking at her watch as They all got up.
"Sorry," I apologized.
"You used to get ready much quicker." Harry said.
"Yes I've gotten much lazier since I married you. I left the military lifestyle, that always had a schedule." I Said.
"I hate to burst your bubble but we're on a schedule right now." Martha said.

We drove to the army base which was outside London.
"Are you having flashbacks to your training days?" I asked Harry.
"A bit," Harry smiled.
"I don't think I'll start having them till I see the training." I Said.
"Well if it Gets too bad. Let me know and you can leave." Harry said.
"I'm pretty sure Milo will realize before I do." I said. Harry smiled.

We arrived at the base and Harry got out before helping me out. Milo jumped out and he took his place next to me. The general approached us. He saluted us and we saluted back. Harry then shook his hand and I followed suit.
"It is an honor to have you both here." He Said.
"Please follow me." He Said. I gave Milo the company and we followed the general.

We toured the sleeping quarters where the soldiers stood at attention. We shook hands with the soldiers. We got to one soldier and I recognized him.
"I know you." I said. Sam broke composure as he smiled.
"It's good to see you again, Princess." He smiled.
"How do you know him?" Harry asked.
"Do you remember Oliver from Clayton's wedding?" I asked.
"Yes, his Best Man." Harry said.
"This is his little brother, Sam." I said.
"I see the family resemblance." Harry said As I looked at Sam a memory came back. A Dark memory that I had forgotten. Milo kept nudging my hand.
"Well it's good to see you again. Tell your parents I said hello." I Said.
"I will do that," Sam said.

I managed to get through the rest of the engagement without breaking down. But as soon as we got back in the car I snapped. I held my head in my hands and cried.

"Felicity what's wrong?" Harry asked alarmed. Milo kept nudging my hand.
"I remembered something I never wanted to." I Said as I looked at him. Harry put his arm around me. "Tell me," He Said.
"No, I can't it's too painful." I said as I kept crying. Harry wiped some tears away and kissed my forehead.
"Tell me when you are ready." Harry said.

We got back to Kensington and I went up to our apartment as if I were in a trance.
"Felicity?" Harry asked as I walked into our room.
I kicked my shoes off as Milo followed me. I laid down face first on the bed. Milo jumped up and laid next to me.
"Good boy." I said softly as I put him. He let out a whimper and I kept petting him.
"Mummy?" I heard as the door opened. I sat up and saw Dane.
"Hello darling." I put on a fake smile for him.
"Mummy I'm going to start school." Dane said.
"Yes you are." I Said. Harry came in with Sofia.
"Dane don't bother Mummy. She's not feeling good." He Said.
"I'm sorry Mummy." He hugged me.
"Thank you for the hug." I said. Dane got off the bed and followed Harry out.

After a while Harry came in and started to change. I sat up and Milo laid his head in my lap.
"It all started with him drugging me." I Said as I stroked Milo's head.
"What?" Harry looked over.
"My flashback today. It was of the second time Tristan kidnapped me." I Said. Harry came over and sat on the bed with me.
"What happened." He asked.
"I don't remember much. What I do remember is that, I was in his car and I was in the front seat. Tristian had drugged me and they were wearing off but I was still a bit out of it. He stopped the car in front of my house and got out. My dad, Clay, Oliver, His dad and Sam were on the porch. The walked off when Tristian got out. I only had a bed sheet wrapped around Me-"
