Three months later

"Little light!" Marks voice called from downstairs.

I closed the laptop on my lap jumped out of bed grabbing at my dress so it didn't trip me. "Coming!"

I ran past Ash's room and a few second later my mama's. When I got to the stairs I took them two at a time.

Mark was at the bottom while in his uniform. I launched myself into his arms and wrapped my legs around his waist.

"You missed me this much?" He asked while kissing my forehead.

"Yes," I could feel my eyes watering. He had been gone for three weeks. I didn't like that with his job. He had to leave me for long periods of time.

The other day when he told me he was going I broke down and cried my eyes out. I didn't want him to go. This was his last leaving until after the baby was born though.

He used one of his hand to hold my chin. "Why the tears little one?"

I smiled a little. "I'm just really happy you're home."

He removed his hand from my cheek and grabbed the hand that my engagement ring was on. "I'll always come home to you. I love you."

"I love you too Mark

We both laid in bed breathing heavily. "Did you finish your class?"

"Yeah a few minutes before you came home." I had started to take online classes a week after I got to America.

Mark wanted me to have the whole educational experience. I wanted it too. This was something I couldn't get while in Saudi Arabia.

I was trying to get my high school diploma and after I was going to get a degree in college but online of course. I didn't want to be separated from my baby when he/she was born. I was even thinking I could work from home though Mark's entire family said I didn't have to get an education and I could have any job I wanted.

I opted not to take that route. I don't want everything handed to me.

"How are your Italian lessons?" His sisters, brothers or his nieces or nephews would call me each day to tutor me in Italian. I was getting really good with speaking it.
