Just come home
When Sam is deployed to Iraq, Nicole is 7 months pregnant. Sam is 28, and Nicole is 19. Her parents and friends never cared for her after she got pregnant to a 28 year old. She is unbelievably, unbearably alone. Sam, thinks of her everyday, and Nic, does Sam. Their love is more than enough to keep them both going while in this world. When Sam gets back, he isn't the same man. He has changed. For good and for bad, but he's still Sam. Nothing can change that.
