Military Love

Chapter 12

Maddie's POV

The next day when I wake up, Dalton isn't in bed. I get up and put underwear, and one of Dalton's shirts on and go downstairs to the Kitchen. Dalton is in there making breakfast. I walk up behind him and hug him, then sit down. He hands me a coffee cup as I sit down. 

"Were you going to call the doctor today and set up an appointment?" Dalton asks, handing me a plate of food. "Yeah, I'll probably call in a little bit and set one up. What do you want to do today, it's your last day before you leave," I say taking a drink of my coffee. "I just want to spend the day at home with you relaxing." He says 

After we finish breakfast, I decide I should probably put some pants on. I grab a pair of Dalton's sweatpants and go back downstairs and sit next to him on the couch. "Do you have everything packed for tomorrow?" I ask Dalton. He justs nods in response. 

We just lay on the couch for a little bit, not saying anything until I finally break the silence. "Dalton, what's wrong? You're never this quiet, did I do something wrong?" I ask. He looks at me and kisses me before saying, "You didn't do anything wrong, I love you so much. I'm not ready to leave you yet, especially now that you're pregnant. I want to be able to go to ALL of the appointments and not having to worry if I'll be home when the baby is born." 

"I'm not ready for you to leave either, but neither of us has a choice in the matter. You're only going to be gone for 2-4 months. You won't miss that many appointments. You're going to be here when the baby is born. You need to stop thinking about all of that and relax." 

He kisses me and then pulls me into a hug. "I love you, Maddie," Dalton says. "I love you too!" We lay on the couch, watching tv. "Is this all you want to do today?" I ask Dalton "Well, I could think of something else we could do," He says with a smirk on his face 

"Maybe later," I say, "We should go get groceries since we aren't doing anything right now." "Didn't we just get groceries?" Dalton asks, "Yes, but you eat all the time, and I want pickles and yogurt." 

"Pickles and yogurt? Like together?" Dalton asks, giving me a weird look. "Yes, I'm starving, and that's the only thing that sounds good," Dalton laughs and stands up. "Where are you going?" I ask. "To shower and put some clothes on. Want to save water?" He says with a smirk. 

"Babe, please not right now I'm sore from last night," I say standing up. "Okay, sorry," He says, walking upstairs clearly kind of upset. 

"Dalton stop," I say, "It's not that I don't want to have sex with you because I do. I'm tired and sore right now." 

"I know I shouldn't have got upset. I'm sorry," Dalton says before picking me up and carrying me upstairs and setting me on the bed. "Alright, do you want to shower first, or do you want me to?" Dalton asks while still wrapping his arms around me. 

"You can, I wanna read a little bit," I say, grabbing my book and laying down on the bed. Dalton nods and heads to the shower. 

As I'm reading my book, I conclude that I should do as much stuff with Dalton as possible before he leaves. Coming to this conclusion, I decide to get in the shower with him. 

I walk into the bathroom quietly and start undressing. I step into the shower and wrap my arms around him. "Baby, what're you doing?" Dalton asks, still not facing me. 

"Saving water," I say as he turns around to look at me. "Mmm, just save water?" He asks, "I think so unless you have something else in mind?" I say with a smirk. 

*Skip Shower* 

"Maddie, have you seen my new shorts? I thought I put them in the wash last night, but they aren't in the dryer or the laundry basket." Dalton says, walking around in his towel, looking for his shorts. 

"I folded them and put them away," I say, putting a pair of under armor shorts and a t-shirt on.  

Once we are both dressed, we head out to the garage. "Want to just take my car?" I ask Dalton. "Yeah, we can," He says, walking past his truck. " You're driving, though," I say, getting in the passenger side. "I figured," He says 

When we are done putting all of the groceries away, Dalton decides to make lunch. While he's making lunch, I decide to have some yogurt with a pickle. It tastes amazing. Dalton scrunches his face in disgust. 

"Don't look at me like that; it tastes good," I tell Dalton. "If you think it tastes good then go ahead and eat it, but I'm not kissing you until you brush your teeth," Dalton says handing me a chicken breast and toast

"Babe, this is amazing," I say, taking a bite. "I know, I'm just great all around," Dalton says with a smirk on his face. I roll my eyes at his response. 

Once we are done eating, we take care of everything and go upstairs. "I don't know why, but I'm super tired," I say, laying down in bed. "You're pregnant; I read that pregnant women get tired easily," Dalton says, laying down next to me and kissing me. 

One thing leads to another and our clothes are laying on the floor. "Babe, are you sure you want to again? I don't want to hurt you," Dalton says holding himself above me. I pull him down to me and kiss me telling him I want this. 

After we lay in bed for a little bit just enjoying each other's company. We finally put clothes on and spend the rest of the day cuddling.
