the boys had been gone for 4 years now. you missed them like mad. you'd always had them around with you all the time. and it was so wierd not having them with you. they were always teasing you about john and always making fun of you. you still had finn, because he was too young to go to war, he was only 16 bless. but hed always been like a little brother to you.

but anyway, john, your husband, was coming back today. and to be honest, you were bloody scared. what if he'd fallen out of love. what if he'd found someone new, what if he forgot about you. but your biggest wonder was whether he was still alive. but come on, he's john shelby. he can survive anything

you were getting dressed and you were so nervous. you were practically shaking. you took one more look at yourself in the mirror before leaving the room and watched yourself take a deep breath. you could not wait to see the brothers that you'd missed for so long.

you'd taken it quite badly, the boys being gone you just felt like you couldn't cope. you were trying to look after a baby, keeping finn safe and trying to manage was the hardest thing. usually, you wouldn't be able to sleep because you were so worried about what would happen when he came home. if he came home...

but throughout the 4 long years of waiting, you tried to get your mind off it as much as you can. obviously, the thought was never going to leave, but you managed to take it away for short periods of time.

you looked at the time.  1:17pm
the train was arriving at the station at 1:30 so you decided to leave.

'finn! we're going to the station!'

'coming!' he yelled

you scooped up the little toddler running around the house. 'you ready to go see daddy, baby?'

'yes of course mummy, i miss him a lot'

'i know baby, me too'

you drove to the station, still worrying about whether you were going to see your husband john. but you couldn't think like that, you just couldn't.

you arrive the station just in time as you see the train with all the surviving soldiers on board. you shoved through everyone on the platform. you saw him. there he was. despite the fact that he was cut and bruised, he was still as attractive as he'd always been. you saw the shimmer of his bright blue eyes and immediately fell back into love. you then realised you'd missed him so much more than you thought you did.

you ran and jumped into his arm and he spun you round and round. 'john, i missed you so bloody much'

'i missed you so much more darlin'
