You were sleeping beside your husband when you felt a jolt next to you. Your eyes snapped open, immediately turning to Edmundo. He was fidgeting and sweating profusely. "Eddie, babe," you called for him, shaking his shoulder lightly.
He continued to breathe unevenly.
Edmundo worked for LA Fire Department and although he definitely benefited from saving lives every day, it took its toll on him. He would have nightmares some days and it pained you to see him this way. Edmundo was strong and stubborn, so going to talk to someone would be the exact opposite of that for him.
Before working for LAFD, he was a medic in the Army. You two met right as he got home, and you were in love with him. But nights like this made you upset. He continued to move around, mumbling in his sleep. You attempted to shake him awake, but with no avail.
Finally, his eyes snapped open. "Babe.." he whispered, pulling you tightly into his arms. He just held you for a second. "I love you, I always will," he told you, and you could only speak with the breath that wasn't being squeezed from your lungs. "I love you, too," was all you managed, and he let you go, but kept and arm around you.
"Some nights.. the dreams, t-they get so intense.. they seem so real.. and they'll have you in them, and I can't ever imagine you losing you, I just couldn't live if-" "I understand, babe. I'll always be with you, I promise," you said, kissing his cheek softly. "Let's just go back to sleep, alright? Goodnight, honey," you whispered, sleep pushing into your words.
"Goodnight, my love.."
