Peggy POV

It had been weeks since I arrived. Mr. General had moved the nurses and troops all over the eastern sea board. I wasn't used to this much work but it was fun. I knew my sisters wouldn't enjoy it. They support me no doubt but they would never join. I understand. It's a lot but I can handle it.

Aaron, Herc, and Mr. General were getting ready for a big fight. Yorktower or something. I was the assist to mr General which meant I got to be on call for him at all times.

Alex is in South Carolina {prolly writing a shit load of letters to laurens...} and Laf was stuck in Brittan.  I had helped him with his English accent which sounded more southern than anything. I mean as long as he doesn't sound French...

I was in the tent preparing bandages when I heard a loud shout. Guns were being fired. Men were being rolled in. Reality hit me like a ton of bricks. This was war. People were gonna get hurt. People were gonna die. Tears came to my eyes but I blinked them back. Aaron could die.

I pushed the dark thoughts out of my head. I was the one in charge. Ow as the head of this nurse tent. I was calling the shots...

"Clara, over there. Amanda, get the bandages. Julie get the damp cloth." I barked orders like never before. I can't remember a time at home when I was this assertive. We're not at home, I reminded myself.

Laf POV

I have been in England for a few weeks and have not recieved any letters. Which is good because someone might see it.

I am Lafayette: súper spy... no one knows.

A Frenchman spying on the British government, I take the measurements information and I smuggle it. Tell my brothers revolutionary- oOoOoOOo a pretty butterfly...

I like butterflies. They're pretty. oH! You know what else I'd pretty? Herc- I wonder how he is...

Herc POV

God I miss Laf-

Im stationed in Chesapeake Bay. The General is way up the eastern seaboard with Peggy and Alex is a little below me. But Mari Joseph Paul Yves Roch Gilbert du Motier de La Fayette, Marquis de La Fayette? Yeah he was in England.

Probably hadn't thought of me in a while. Maybe he even forgot about me?!

Nevermind

I need to focus on the fight

My questionable feelings are invalid

Alex POV

I was stationed in South Carolina. I can't believe Jakie grew up here!  I wish he was here. For no reason in particular. I just miss my family.

I heard word from one of my men that the battle of Yorktown began a week ago.

We gotta attack while we still can.

Peggy POV

Everyone was busy running around, helping people, mending wounds, saving lives.

The battle had come to a lull. Only about 1 ½ patients in the tent (don't ask it was an accident)

I felt farmiliar hands on my shoulder. "Hey pegs." Aaron whispered soothingly. "Got a second?" He let go of my shoulders and wrapped his arms around my neck but like not tight. In the cutest way. You know. Right? Anyway so I laughed and kissed him on the cheek.

"Well, you you have a minute?" He asked as I crossed the room to put some bandages away. "Well I guess I could-" I turned and looked in a full length mirror and saw a bloody handprint on my shoulders.

I dropped a tray and it clattered to the floor. My mouth is agape. I couldn't move. "A-A-Aaron, y-your ha-ands." I managed slowly turning around. Sure enough, his hands were covered in blood that seemed to be coming from his mid-calf.

He looked at his hand sand gave me a sheepish smile, hiding them behind his back. "I didn't wanna worry you"he trailed off.

I shook out of the shock. Oh my lord. My boyfriend had been shot in the leg.

Shoving him down onto the operating table, I poured some alcohol on it making Aaron wince. I took some steak tweezers and slowly plucked the bullet out. To be completely honest, I gagged a little bit. I've done it at least 10 times today already but there's something's bout plucking a bullet out of your loved one that's just not very appealing.

~an hour later~

"Whew" i exhaled plopping down on the side of Aaron's bed. "You are all set mister Burr"

He pushed some of my hair out of my face, "you make quite a nurse, Schuyler" I blushed hard at this,

God he's amazing.

Washington's POV

After 3 weeks of fighting a. Your gonna man in a red coat stands on a parapet.  We all lower our guns and Hercules and I made our way over to negotiate the terms of surrender.

We won

We actually won!!

I get to see my wife

Laf POV

I get to see mom amour once again

Herc POV

WE WON MAH DUDES

ALEXANDER POV

So I heard the war is over. This is great. All of the groups are retreating. Nothing could go wrong.

I made my way to the mail boy.  He handed me a letter from Jackie at which I was very excited.

I made my way across the field. Thinking of how I would be able to meet me son!!!! Or daughter...

OR SON!!!

Either way I'll love them.

I found myself tripping on a root and dropping the letter. I bet down to grab it and heard a horrific sound.

It echoed in my ears. I could hear it vibrating my bones an penetrating my soul.

I heard a gunshot.
