“Garry, Jack! Jennifer is going to have a baby!”
“Oh my god dude that’s awesome man.” -Garry
“Congrats!.” -Jack
“I cannot wait, I am speechless.”
He continued reading on.
I love you more than anybody knows and I really want this to work out because another baby sounds perfect for me. And I need you to know. It was professionally confirmed. Leah and Eliana will take care of me but Harry I can’t do this without you...I hope that you will accept this and be so happy. If anything I can always take care of it on my own...what am I saying. Harry Connick Jr you’ll love this baby no matter what! Got me. Now I love you and I can’t wait for you to come home...it can’t come any sooner.
-Your LoveBug Jenny xo
He laughed. Of course I’ll be there I can’t Oh my god a baby. He couldn’t help but smile all the guys were asking him what was up and he just kept chanting on. He couldn’t believe it. It made him want to come home even more.
A week went and Jennifer still hadn’t gotten a letter from Harry. Of course the worst got to her. She goes to the doctor’s for a sonogram next week.
“How do you feel?”
“Fine Leah..”
“What is your problem?”
“Harry has not wrote back since I told him.”
She broke down into tears.
“Aww mama he may just not have had time.”
“No Leah..”
All of the sudden the mail come through the slot. Leah went to get it and there for sure was a letter.”
“Oh Jenny.” *she sang*
“A letter?”
“Told you!”
“Shut up okay?!”
Are you crazy of course I am excited, why wouldn’t I be! I cannot wait to hear the gender, names, sonograms Jennifer I have never wanted anything more. I told the whole camp they all know I can’t stop smiling and I can’t wait to come home…
That’s it..? Behind it was another letter but it wasn’t Harry’s writing.
Dear Jennifer
This is Jack one of Harry’s bunkers. He didn’t finish the letter but I thought it sounded good enough for you. He was out the other night and got shot in the shoulder. Luckily the bullet went through and didn’t damage anything. He has been in recovery for 3 days now. I thought I’d let you know I would want to know if it was my wife. I promise you me and our other buddy Gary will take good care of them. Here’s a picture of all of us, he already has grown scruff he looks like an old man. Makes us look young. He is a great guy and an honor to be with. Have a great day I’m sure he will write you back soon.
-Jack
“Leah read this and look.”
“He will be fine, Jennifer he’s strong, and he is so excited.”
“I know but...I told him to be careful...he promised.”
“Jen you’re not being realistic it’s the army dammit.”
She sighed. “I need food.” *getting up*
She pulled out chocolate frosting, pretzels, soda, and chips and brought it all to the couch.
