Accidents make perfection

Chapter 1

Authors note: this is my first ever published fanfiction so I hope you like it. I won't be able to update a lot but I will try my hardest to make at least one chapter a week.

I decided I wanted to write about what happens after war storm because I didn't like the way it ended. Also I'm a huge marecal shipper so expect a lot of fluff of them. Thank you and I hope you enjoy

MARE POV

It's been 8 months since I've been back to Norta, I still don't think I'm strong enough to go back. Davidson keeps asking me if I want to go on diplomatic trips to Norta, but I keep declining. I'm not strong enough to see him yet.

The thought of Cal gives me butterflies in my stomach like it always does. I love him, and I said I would wait. The only issue is I don't know if he did, I mean it's been 8 months there's no way he would have waited that long and I didn't expect him to.

I'm waiting outside Davidson's office in my dress uniform. When I got to Montfort, I took a break for about a month but, I was getting so bored that I would ask to spar with the electicons. Davidson then approached me with a job as an officer in the military, I didn't think I'd like it so much, the only thing I hate is the stupid uniforms, I can move in it.

As I'm squirming in my seat the door opens and Davison's assistant Kendra tells me I can go in, I thank her before I walk in. When I enter he's doing paperwork, he jesters to a seat and I sit down. We sit there in silence for a while, until he finishes whatever he's doing and says "How are you doing Mrs Barrow?" I'm startled by the question for some reason and respond "Good, family's good, the job you gave me is great I couldn't thank you enough for everything you've done for me." He smiles and leans back in his chair and says with a smile "You don't have to be so formal Mrs Barrow we are friends." I instantly feel bad and relax a bit, as soon as I do I remember something I wanted to ask him "How's the adoption going?"

After the war Carmadon and Davidson decided they wanted to have kids. They've been going through the process for months now "We actually got a call yesterday and we are going to pick her up next week." He says trying to contain his smile and stay professional. Me on the other hand, I couldn't be happier for him we both get up and hug "Congratulations, Carmadon must be ecstatic?" I say with a full smile "Yes he is, he actually packed the bags the day we found out. Which brings me to my next point if you would sit down." I do as he says and sit down, then he starts " I have a meeting next week in Norta about war strategies for the lakelander war, but due to the adoption I will not be able to attend. And so I was wondering if my best war strategist would be willing attend in my place? " Does he mean me? Am I his best war strategist? Wait NORTA! "Oh um thank you for the offer but I don't know if I can go back yet." I say he just sighs and says " Mare, it's been 8 months, I know it will be hard, but you thought getting back into the war routine would be hard and yet here you are a captain of your own squadron, and a war consultant" he's right, I thought getting back into combat would bring it all back but, I couldn't have been more wrong. But that's not what I'm scared of. If I go back I'll see Cal, I know he's the war strategist for Norta now and there's no doubt I'll see him there  "Could you give me until tonight to give you an answer, I need to talk to some people first." I say hoping he'll say yes "Of course, but I will need an answer before 22:00" he says and I sigh in relief "Thank you" I say and get up to leave, but before I do I ask him a question "What's her name?" He gives me a surprised look and then smiles and says "Emily" I smile and say "it's beautiful congratulations again premiere" "Thank you" he says.

When I leave, I head straight home to change out of my uniform and text Kilorn if I can come over, I need to know what he thinks.
