#34 The End Of All Things

Get ready for a history lesson. (History is epic)

Also none of you deserve this yet but I posted it anyway

"Whether near or far, I am always yours."
//////////

      The battle of D-Day, June 6th, 1944 through August 11th,  1944. A battle neither you, nor your husband would ever forget.

War was raging throughout the world due to one man thinking he could wipe out several entire races and conquer the world in one swipe.

Originally the USA was going to stay out of this war, but Hitlers' allies in the east, the Japanese, decided it would be beneficial to them to bomb Pearl Harbor in Hawaii to try and take all the islands in the pacific. Needless to say, they were met with retaliation.

    America sided with the allied forces in order to take down Hitler and the Axis powers. American troops were shipped off to Europe and the Japanese were pushed back out of Hawaii.

Your husband was in the bulk of the fighting. He was on the beaches in France, trying to take back the land the Germans had taken. Millions of people ha already died during the intense trench warfare, and many more were still losing their lives.

Out of all these people, your brother-in-law, Mikey, has lost his life as well. You could only imagine how that effected Gerard. He had lost his brother the first day they were there, and he was still watching thousands die beside him in battle. When you were notified by Mikey's fiancée, Kristin, that Mikey had been killed in combat, you broke down.

It was times when you remembered Mikeys demise, when you wondered if your husband was still among the living. It terrified you to no end, the thought of losing him.

And with a child on the way, it made it a hell of a lot worse.

He had been home for a short time before his regiment shipped out. They were home for three days, allowing you and Gerard to spend time together before he risked his life, and at the end of the three days the local bar held a gala of sorts for the soldiers to see their families one last time before they went away.

It was a lovely night for the two of you. Your favorite song by the Ink Spots had come on, and he asked you to dance. His arm around your waist along with him softly singing the words in your ears set your heart ablaze, and you missed him before he even left. After that song, the two of you just stayed on the dance floor, swaying back and forth, lost in each other. He held on to you as if you were his only lifeline.

You had found out about your pregnancy a month after Gerard had shipped out to France. Those days he was home had been enough. You immediately wrote him a letter, informing him that he was going to have a child. A few weeks later, you received a letter back from him.

My love,

You're pregnant! Oh honey, you have no idea how much it made me smile reading your letter. Corporal Bryar, Lieutenant Toro, and Frankie were giving me weird looks the whole time. I got a lot of congratulations from everyone and that only made me grin more.

     Also, Frankie told me to tell you to tell Jamia he loves her.

I can't wait to come home and see our baby. I'll fight like hell if it means I get to come home to you.

I love you so much.
Your husband,
Gerard ♡

     Two and a half months later, your baby belly was growing noticeably bigger. You wanted so badly for Gerard to be able to meet his child when they were born, but you feared he wouldn't be there to see it. Was he even still alive?

     Letters had been cut off due to the soldiers needing to focus on battle, so you hadn't heard from him in forever. It made your heart ache.

Sometimes you imagined what it would be like if you got the knock on your door. How would you feel if someone came to tell you Gerard had been killed in battle just like Mikey?

     Was the battle over yet? It was almost mid August now, which meant he had been across the ocean for two months without communicating with you. It made you want to cry.

   When the man in military garb came knocking on your door, you expected him to inform you of Gerard's death. What you got however, made you sob for a different reason.

    You saw him, standing there looking at you. In an instant you launched into is arms, of which were wide open and waiting for you.

"You're home." You sobbed into his shoulder.

"I'm home, baby. I'm right here." His arms were tight around your waist holding you to him like he hadn't seen you for years and burying his face in your shoulder. "I missed you."

     You let out a sob and hugged him tighter if that was possible.

"Honey," he urged pushing back on you slightly, "honey, don't crush the baby."

You chuckled breathily, still in tears. He let his hand rest on your prevalent baby belly and sighed with a small smile. His hand rested there for a few minutes as he seemed to be spaced out thinking of the child, then he looked up at you through his long lashes with a charming smile.

"I'm glad I got home before the fun part rolled around. That would've been depressing."

You scoffed playfully. "Oh, so you want to see me suffer through pregnancy and giving birth? I see how you are." You hit his shoulder softly.

He laughed and pulled you to him by your waist, smiling big. "God damn I missed you." He sighed, leaning down to kiss your lips.

You smiled and snaked your arms around his neck.

"And to think;" he broke the kiss and mumbled against your lips, "I thought I was never gonna see you again. I thought I was gonna end up dead. For a while, I wanted to. But when I got your letter I had to keep going. For you and our baby."

     You gave him a shaky smile though your tears kept falling. The thought of him wanting to die along with Mikey made your heart shatter to pieces.

"I love you." Was all you were able to choke out.

He smiled lovingly at you and pecked your lips. "I know, baby. I love you too. I promise I'll never leave you again."

     And with that, he pulled you into another tight hug. "Now, lets go cuddle and you can update me on everything that's been going on here, and we'll think through baby names."

Lay us down, we're in love.
