Two Months Later

 I wake up and look at my phone and see 2 missed calls from Dalton and a text that says he's coming over. Oops, my phone must've been on silent.

I lay my head back down and hear my bedroom door open. I look up and see Dalton. I sit up and he walks over to my bed and gives me a hug. Okay, somethings wrong. 

"What's wrong babe?" I ask looking at him "I got a call this morning, I'm getting deployed for two or more months. I leave in two weeks." I sit there frozen, I don't know what to say. I know he loves his job but I can't stop thinking about the endless possibilities of him never coming home to me. 

"Babe?" He asks putting his hand on my cheek. "Yeah, I'm fine." I say looking into his eyes. 

"Don't lie to me Maddie and don't shut me out, talk to me please." "Dalton I don't know what to say or think. What if you never come home? What am I supposed to do then Dalton?" I say starting to tear up a bit.

"Babe, I promise I'm going to come home. I was gonna take you out for a nice dinner and ask you this, but I can't wait anymore." What is he talking about? I start to get worried. 

"I got to thinking a while ago and then I started looking and I found one that I love and I hope you love it too and want to do this together." He starts rambling on.

"Dalton, what are you talking about?" "Madelyn Wild, will you move in with me? I found a house and I want to show it to you." I've been saving for a while and I have more than enough to buy it and I want to do this with you." 

"Yes, absolutely yes!" I smile jumping on him. He kisses me laying down so I'm on top of him. 

Things start to get heated and both my shirt and Daltons come off. 

"What the hell is going on!?" Ajay yells. We immediately pull away from each other and sit up. 

I grab mine and Dalton's shirts and we throw them on. "Ajay calm down we weren't doing anything." 

"Oh yeah, okay not doing anything. West, outside NOW!" Ajay says 

"Babe, let's go look at that house?" I ask Dalton standing up

"House, what house?" Ajay asks standing in the doorway. 

"Why does it matter?" I ask "Because I'm your big brother and it matters okay, now what house?"

I just shake my head and walk out my door with Dalton following. 

"Ready to go look at the house babe?" Dalton asks kissing my forehead

I nod my head and out to Dalton's truck.
