Escalation

"I still helped create it, therefore, making it OUR baby"-"Then why didn't you tell me? Huh? Was it thy hard"? -"Yes it was...Nicole...Believe
it or not; I wanted the baby...but there'd been a lot on my mind, even before you found out you were pregnant"-"Like what"? I questioned
Joe stood there silently. "Joe;Answer me" I commanded. He looked away from me. He said something quietly. "What"? I said loudly. "Cap is sending us back"...I was confused. "W-what do you mean"? I questioned, I didn't wanna know the answer. "I have to go back to Iran" he revealed.
I gasped at the news. "You're leaving us again" I summed up. "It's for your protection"he said. I laughed lightly.
"What's funny about that"? He asked. "It's all funny to me"-"How so"? "You just came back" I said. He leaned on the counter next to me. "I know, but I can't let this keep going"-"what Joe?"-"Nicole...they won't stop...voluntarily anyways" he began to trail off.
"How could you not consult me"? "I mean I AM your wife and the mother of your children" I spoke. He looked at me guiltily. "Nicole, there wasn't time"-"time to tell your wife that you're going back to a country to put your life on the line, you could've found a split second to tell me-or moreover CONSULT me"-"It was urgent"-"You know what...Go, leave Kai and I by ourselves...!okay? There, I give you my blessing, not that you needed it in the first place" I said angrily before walking off.
* Joe's P . O . V *
I stood there, scratching the back of my neck as I watched Nicole walk off. I felt bad. How else was I gonna tell her...without telling her the whole story.
