Missing In Action 17

*One Month Later*

Anna has been such a joy. She's so happy all the time. And it makes us happy. She's such a help too. She helps Danielle with Faith and Eleanor when me, Ness, and Sky leave out of town. Once we told her what we do, she was thrilled. She wanted to come with us. Danielle told her when she's 16 then she can come. Danielle was like a mother figure to Anna. And that's what Anna wanted and needed. 

"Perrie?.." Anna asked as me and her were folding clothes.

"Yeah.." I said. 

"Who's Faiths father?" She asked. 

"...his name was Zayn. And he's was on the front lines in Korea..." I said. 

"Was?" She asked. 

"He...didn't make it." I said. 

"sorry..." She said. 

"It's okay...it's good to ask questions." I said.

"Wait, if Faith is almost a year old and the war started almost two years ago...then..." She paused. 

"Yeah...he never knew about her..." I said holding onto my dog tag. 

She stood quiet. She walked over to me, opening her locket. 

"This is my mother..." She said pointing to a picture in her locket. 

This was the first time she brought up her mother since the first day we met her.

"She's beautiful." I said. 

"She died when bombing happened here in London." She lightly sighed, closing her locket.

"And your father?..." I asked. 

She shrugged. "He never knew about me either..." 

"I'm sorry." I said. 

"It's okay...I mean yes at times it would've been nice to have a dad but...i think my mother did a good job. Husband or not." She said. 

When Anna said those words, those words gave me hope. Maybe Faith won't hate me so much if I'm the only parent. 

*Next Day* 

Anna was sitting on the floor playing with Faith, while us girls sat on the couch. 

"What will be the first thing you guys will do as soon as the war ends?" Anna asked. 

"Shop..." Sky said.

"Travel." Danielle answered. 

"Open a club." Ness said. 

We all looked at her. 

"What? You know a clubs like the one you dress up fancy and go dancing with music and drinks...bit the ones your think of. Not the slutty, everyone's drunk type of club." She chuckled. 

"Good because I don't feel like going to a club like that again." I laughed. 

"I would want to go to New York. I want to be the next Marilyn Monroe and marry me an American husband." Anna sighed in a dreamy way. 

"And who would the husband be?" Sky chuckled. 

"Don't know yet...who ever is my age at the moment." She shrugged. 

"You've got some big dreams girl." I laughed.

"What about you Perrie?" Sky asked.

"What?" I asked.

"What will you do after the war?" She said.

I began to think. What will I do after the war? Will I find a job? Will I stay in London? What will be me and Faiths future?
