I jumped backwards holding onto Gloria even tighter. Everyone just stood there standing smiling. I got angry and returned back upstairs with Gloria in my arms. I closed and locked the door when I got up to my room. After a few minutes I hear a knock at the door.
"Who is it?" I asked.
"Baby it's me open the door, I apologize we didn't know it will anger you." Lay-Lay pleaded.
I went up to the door to open it.
"Baby I swear we just wanted to surprise you with a homecoming party, nothing else I promise." Lay-Lay said.
"But you know you can't be doing that I just came home from The Great War you can't just be jumping and screaming and a lot of other things I don't like flashbacks at all of the war I just want to be here with my family hoping everything gets back to normal." I responded.
She just grabbed, kissed, and held me tight. No words were spoken for atleast ten minutes. All we did was kiss and hold each other tight.
"I promise we gonna get through this together, I'm here for you no matter what that's why you married me for support and stability. I will forever be here for you until death do us part." Lay-Lay said confidently.
"Thanks baby I don't think I will be able to get through this without my family support especially my beautiful wife and daughter." I responded while holding her hand.
I grabbed the two most beautiful women hand and proceeded back to the surprise dinner. Almost my whole family was there just enjoying theirselves having a great time. My wife made our plates and we sat down as a family and ate together. It was like it was centered around me and my brothers. All eyes were on us as well as questions.
Nobody asked any bad memory questions they just wanted to know what was happening over there and what weapons were used. After I finished my food I went upstairs to lay back down I didn't sleep well in two years. Lay-Lay and Gloria both joined me for the sleep cuddle and hugged up tight on me. The feeling is just so incredible that feeling of love and care. I was in the deepest sleep of my life no worry about being killed or anything it's just the worry less feeling just how it should be.
