Joelle frowned a little bit as she watched him get up," Well okay." She said softly," you don't have to go know." She told him but saw the look on her parents faces and decided not to push it too much. Joelle nodded slightly not as happy as she had been earlier," Okay ill see you later then." She replied quietly

"I know, Jake. You'll be here every minute, in my thoughts and heart and prayers." Sofia said softly, struggling to keep the tears from her eyes. She climbed out of the truck and hugged him tightly, burying her head in his shirt. "I love you so much, Jake. Please be safe and come home to me." she whispered and reached up to kiss him deeply.
Grace sighed and nodded. "Yea, your mom really loves you guys." she said and smiled up at him. "Do you ever want to have kids someday?" she wondered. She knew it might be a little weird to ask him this now that they were together, but she was just curious. Grace herself couldn't really decide how fond she was of children, but she knew she wanted some one day.
Brody gave her a reassuring smile before he left. He hated just leaving her there, but he just wasn't up to dealing with her parents right now. They already didn't like him for whatever reason, but now they were blaming him for her being hurt too. He was too worn out to handle that. He returned about half an hour later with three movies, knocking lightly on the door before opening it a bit and peeking in, checking to see if her parents were still there.
Jake nodded slightly," And I'll always be thinking about you and Kaden." He said softly looking down at her as he got out of his brother's truck. He held onto her tightly and smiled faintly," I promise I will be as safe as I can and ill come home to you as soon as I can." He whispered leaning his head close to her," I love you." He answered softly before she had pulled his head down to her and kissed him. Jake sighed a little this time would be the hardest to leave her. Even though he had left before but it was only for a few days at a time never months. He just held her tightly against his chest knowing a lot of the others who were leaving would be doing the same thing
Wyatt nodded slightly," yeah I know she does but sometimes you can show your love in a different way." He said softly leaning his head close to hers. He shrugged a bit," Yeah I want to someday as long as I'm with the right person." He said softly. Wyatt didn't know what the future was going to hold for him and Gracie but he just wanted to take it one day at a time for right then.
Joelle managed to talk with her parents for about twenty minutes before she asked them to leave. They didn't stop talking about what she should have done and how it never should have gotten so far. She didn't want to hear what should have happened she wanted someone to tell her everything was going to be fine and that's normally what Brody did but he wasn't there so she just asked her parents to leave because she was getting tired which wasn't really true Joelle was just upset and wanted to be alone. Though not long after her parents left she heard the knock on the door and she looked up," They are gone." She said softly as she was just staring up at the ceiling
Sofia held onto him just as tightly. It was so hard to just let him leave like this. "I mean it, Jake. Don't do anything stupid. It's not just us anymore, remember?" she told him softly and touched the side of her stomach lightly. "I need you to come home safely." she told Jake and looked up at him, touching his face gently. "And to check in every now and then so I know you're doing okay." she said softly and kissed his cheek gently. "I love you so much, Jake." she said softly and gave him a small smile. "I'm so proud of you." she said quietly and straightened his uniform a little. He was so handsome in it. She just hoped she could keep this picture in her mind for as long as he was gone.
"You're right." Grace said softly and leaned her head so it rested on his shoulder, her hair brushing his jaw. Grace nodded. "I agree, I think." she mused, her eyelids drooping as the different medicines moved through her veins. She shouldn't be tired, she had just woken up not very long ago. But she was finding it hard to keep her eyes open. "My phone is over there if you want it." she mumbled and pointed to the side table, wrapping her arms around him and moving closer.
Brody sighed as he walked in. He felt bad about leaving her alone, but he just really couldn't deal with her parents right now. "Hey." he said and looked down bashfully. "I'm sorry about that. I didn't mean to leave you alone, I just..." he shook his head a little and walked over to the bed, keeping his eyes down as he held out the movies. "I got a few. I wasn't really sure what you would want to watch." he said softly.
Jake nodded slightly and kept his cheek against her head as she spoke," I know Sofia I'm not going to do anything stupid and I'll talk to you as often as I can." He replied softly. Jake sighed a little and looked down at her," Just think of it like I'm back at basic only this time if you send me any packages I can get food in them." He told her with a smile. He stood up a little more and let her fix his uniform a bit," thanks honey." He said softly looking at her trying to remember everything about what was happening so he could just hold on to that memory while he was away. "Sof." Jake said softly
Wyatt looked down at her with a smile and wrapped his arm around her as she settled next to him," Go to sleep and I'm sure everything will be done soon." He told her softly wanting her to be comfortable and not worry about what he was going to be doing," Okay then I'll get it in a minute." He replied referring to her phone. Wyatt watched as she slowly closed her eyes and smiled a little bit. He hoped that she would be alright now
Joelle looked over at him and just shrugged a little bit," it doesn't matter Brody... I know why you left and it's alright with me... I wish I could have gone with you though." She replied. Joelle looked back at the ceiling and nodded." Ohh what did you get?" She asked sitting up slowly. You could tell she wasn't the happy girl she had been that morning when she got up
Sofia let a small smile cross her face. "I'll make sure to send you some food, babe. I promise." she said softly, smoothing her thumb over the name embroidered on his chest. Soon that would be her name too, once he returned and they were married. "Yea?" she asked softly and looked up at him, her eyes wide and full of emotion. Did he have to leave already?
Grace nodded as she closed her eyes. "I'm just going to sleep for a minute. I'm so tired..." she murmured, falling asleep even as she spoke. She fell asleep with her head on his chest, drawing warmth from his body as they lay on top of the blankets spread across the bed.
"I know. I wish you could have too." Brody said softly and sat down on the edge of the bed. "I got Grease, because I know you love that one. And I also got these two comedy movies because I thought we would both like them." he said and showed them to her, wishing he hadn't left. It was clear that she was upset now, and maybe she wouldn't have been if he had stayed.
Jake smiled a bit more," yes food I can eat whenever I want and that actually tastes good." He replied watching where her fingers where. He smiled a bit more and grabbed her hand," As soon as I get home." He told her knowing what she was thinking. Jake looked down at her," Let's go inside." He said softly glancing at the doors for a second
Wyatt nodded," whatever you say Gracie." He replied softly seeing she was already asleep while she was talking to him. He smiled and hugged her close to him as he shifted a little bit so he was more comfortable on the bed but yet still had her close to his side. Wyatt was very careful with her especially her arms since there were needles and things in them
Joelle nodded a little bit and sighed softly," it's okay they would have found away for me to have had to talk to them." She replied softly then looked at Brody smiling a little," Can we watch Grease first?" She asked looking at him. She was not as happy but knowing he remembered what her favorite movie to watch when she was upset made her a little happier. She didn't really care about the other two but she would watch them later
Sofia nodded a little and gave him a soft smile, squeezing his hand as they walked into the building. She rested her other hand on top of her growing belly, surprised that the baby wasn't moving around more. It would be comforting to feel him alive and well- at least that was something she could control for a little while longer.
Grace was asleep for just about thirty minutes when she woke up, an uncomfortable look on her face. "Wyatt, I don't feel very well." she murmured, sitting up a little. Her face paled as she did so, the frown deepening on her face. "I think I'm going to be sick." she told him, looking around anxiously for the container she knew the nurse had left for her.
Brody smiled back at her. "Why did I know you would pick that one?" he teased and chuckled a little. "Sure." he said softly and went to the tv to put it in. He fiddled with the remotes until he figured out how to switch it to the movie and then returned to his chair beside Joelle. "Don't worry about them anymore, Jo. It doesn't matter what they say." he said softly.
Jake looked down at Sofia and smiled a little by as they walked into the building. Kyle was trailing behind them holding Jake's bag wondering what was going to happen next. Jake tightened his fingers around her hand as they got closer to some of his other friends and other members of his unit. Now everything was hitting him the fact that he was leaving and would get to see his son being born or hold him until he got back. He couldn't marry the girl he loved most in the world and keep her from worrying about him. Now it would be even harder for Jake to leave with those thoughts traveling through his head
Wyatt just let her sleep resting his head against hers. He honestly didn't care that she was sleeping or that they were in a hospital bed. He wanted her to get well and when she looked at him he frowned slightly. "What's wrong?" He asked before she answered his question without him having to ask it. Wyatt grabbed the container and held it out to her while he sat up. "Gracie... You'll be fine." He told her softly gently helping her sit up and running his fingers lightly over her back. "I know you don't like being sick but don't fight it okay?" He asked softly
Joelle giggled softly," Because it's my favorite and you should just know," she replied looking at him. She sighed a little bit and snuggled back into her bed. She nodded a little bit." Yeah I guess so." She replied
Sofia followed Jake, her arms wrapped around his strong one. She smiled politely at his friends and greeted them all, but her mind remained on Jake and what lay before them. It would be so hard to have him gone, but she knew she had to be strong. She had to be strong so he would focus on coming home safely and not worrying about her, and she had to be strong for their baby that was depending on her. It would be hard, but she would do her best to make him proud while he was away. She looked up at him with an expression much like the other significant others were giving their soldiers, not really sure what to say or what they were supposed to be doing right now.
Grace moaned miserably, gagging but finding herself resisting the urge to throw up. She didn't want to do this in front of Wyatt. Not in this hospital bed, and not when they were in such a delicate place in their relationship. "Go get the nurse please, Wyatt." she managed to say, making it a statement rather than asking him to leave. She knew he would want to stay, but she really just wasn't ready for him to see her like this yet. They were supposed to tell the nurse if this happened, anyway, so he could just go get her while Grace dealt with this on her own.
Brody sat back in his chair and sighed, looking over at her as the movie started. "Do you mind if I lay with you?" he wondered, recalling the way she had held his hand. He didn't want to assume anything or even think about what it could mean right now, but he did want to be close to her. Plus, that bed was a heck of a lot more comfortable than that small plastic chair.
Once they were inside most of his unit was already there. His best friend wasn't going with them this time and that was fine with him. Jake glanced over at Sofia and have her a small smile," I have to go report in to the captain I'll be right back." He said softly not really wanting to leave her just yet but needing to take care of a few things that always happened before they were to leave. Jake waited until she let go of his arm before grabbing his bag," I'll be right back don't worry." He told her before walking off leaving her with Kyle for a little bit
Wyatt frowned a little bit but knew what she was asking him was right," Okay I'll get her." He said softly already not liking the fact that she was so sick and he couldn't do a thing to stop it. He quickly got off the bed after gently brushing some of her hair out of her face before walking to the door and going out to find a nurse and tell her that Gracie wasn't doing so well anymore. This whole process was startling and hard for Wyatt to watch Gracie go through it. He sighed softly and just talked to the first nurse he could find
Joelle looked over at him and shook her head," no I don't mind." She answered with a small smile. They always sat really close when they were watching a movie and it would help Joelle forget where they were," Here you sit here." She told him moving over in the small bed a little bit
Sofia frowned a little when he said he had to leave, but didn't protest as she let go of his arm. She sighed a little and looked over at Kyle, feeling a little awkward. She didn't know Kyle very well, and he always came off as not very interested in getting to know her either. "I know you guys were talking about me when I was in the kitchen." she said softly and shook her head a little. "I just want you to know that you don't have to do everything Jake says. He's a little...overprotective." she said with a small smile and shrugged a little.
Grace waited until the door had clicked shut to finally stop resisting. The contents of her stomach from breakfast this morning were quickly emptied into the plastic bin. Grace's sides were sore from gagging by the time she could stop. She placed the bowl to the side and laid back down, closing her eyes since she still felt nauseous. She opened them when Wyatt and the nurse re-entered. She gave Wyatt a small smile, trying to keep his attention away from the vile contents of the container on the table so the nurse could take it away.
Brody smiled a little and gently climbed into the bed next to her. He still tried not to move the bed too much, but she seemed to be doing better with moving around. "Oh man, you're not going to sing, are you?" he teased as he settled in beside her.
Jake looked at him for a second and then went to talk with the captain and then to turn in his stuff before he started walking back towards Sofia and Kyle. Kyle looked over at her and frowned a little bit,' I know what my little brother is like and I won't bother you if you really don't want me to." He replied. " but you do know that I can't lie to him so if he asks me if I'm helping you I'm not going to tell him I am when I'm not."
Jake walked over to them," What are you two talking about?" He asked looking at the two of them. He knew that they didn't talk all that often and Kyle normally came off as a bit stuck up
Wyatt frowned a little bit as the nurse walked in and went to help Gracie. The nurse frowned a bit and went to get the doctor," I'll be back and I'm sure the doctor will give you something to keep you from getting sick any more." She told her taking the bucket with herWyatt just stood off to the side as the nurse talked to Gracie. He waited patiently as the nurse went back out the door to get the doctor. "Grace?" He asked softly walking closer to her .
Joelle giggled softly as she moved over for him so he could get into the bed with her. She shrugged a little bit," maybe I will."She replied laying back as he got settled in beside her
Sofia sighed a little. "I'm not going to ask you to lie to your brother, Kyle. And I'm sure I will need your help, occasionally." she said quietly, shifting a little as she stood. "But I don't want you to think that you have to look after me like a child, either. I can take care of myself." she said softly, looking up as Jake started walking back to him. She gave her fiancee a soft smile, her heart filling with emotion at the sight of him looking so handsome in his uniform walking across the room. "Nothing, love. Just waiting for you to come back." she said softly and took his hand again. "Everything go okay?"
Grace half listened to the doctor and nodded when she walked away, moving back over on the bed so Wyatt could lay down. She reached her hand out to him, the paleness and expression on her face the only indication that she wasn't feeling well. "It's okay, Wyatt. I'm fine." she comforted him, not liking the worried expression on his face. "She said this might happen, remember?" she said softly, squeezing his hand gently.
Brody rolled his eyes. "Oh, no. Please don't." he mumbled under his breath playfully and pressed a button on the bed to sit them up a little more as the movie started playing.
Kyle looked at his younger brother's fiancé and nodded," fine but if I know my brother the way I think I do.... I know he will ask if I check on you like every other day or something like that." He replied." I think you will be fine by yourself you've done it before just not with him being gone for so long." He answered looking up as Jake came back over to them. Jake raised his eye brows a little bit and then jut decided to let it slide for the moment. "Okay then." He answered sliding his fingers into Sofia's hand," everything is fine." He replied looking at her," Just waiting for the plane to get here." He said softly
Wyatt waited until the nurse walked out of the room before moving closer to Grace's side. He took her hand and nodded a little bit," yeah I know but I didn't think it would happen so fast." He answered softly," hey ill get over it. It's my turn to take care of you not you taking care of me like every other time we are together." He told her softly sitting on the edge of the bed. She did have a habit of making sure he did everything he was supposed to but he didn't mind it at all.
Joelle giggled softly and settled close to his side for warmth and for safety. "I won't." She replied still laughing a little bit. "Unless you start falling asleep then I will sing."
Sofia shrugged a little. They would just have to see what happened. She would ask for help when she needed it; she just didn't want to feel like Kyle was babysitting her. She looked up at Jake once he returned to them and smiled a little. "Well hopefully it gets lost somewhere." she murmured and rubbed his back lightly, leaning against his side. She knew this was jus as hard on him as it was for her, PLUS he had to deal with actually doing the job for so long. She just wanted to be there for him right now and try to make it as easy as possible.Grace smiled softly at him. "You always take care of me." she said honestly and squeezed his hand again gently. This was different for her. Wyatt was also so confident and carefree; it was hard to see him so unsure. The doctor came in and gave her a few pills to take that would help with her feeling sick. "You can lay down if you want, Wyatt. I promise I won't throw up on you." she said with a small smirk after the doctor had left again.
Brody pouted playfully. "Why would you do that? That's so evil." he argued and chuckled a little.
Jake chuckled softly hearing Sofia say she hoped the plane got lost. "Only you would hope that Sof." He said grinning at her a little bit because he wasn't going to fight about the plane getting lost. He would have been just fine if he could stay with her until Kaden was born at least. Kyle stood slightly off to the side not really wanting to be in the way of his brother and soon to be sister in law
Wyatt shook his head slightly," I wouldn't know where my head was if it wasn't attached to my body." He replied with a small smile. "Okay as long as you promise not to." He answered getting back onto the bed with her. Wyatt wasn't used to seeing his best friend just laying around and doing nothing
Joelle smiled and laid back as the movie started," I'm not that mean." She said softly
Sofia giggled and shrugged playfully. "Well it's true." she murmured and wrapped her arms around his neck lightly. "Are you going to be able to call me or anything when you get there?" she wondered, moving her fingers over his soft, freshly buzzed hair at the nape of his neck. It was going to be hard not knowing when they would be able to talk to each other. They had set up a Skype account so they could talk, and of course there were always phone calls, but she had a feeling that they were going to be few and far between."I promise." Grace said softly and gave him a small smile, draping her arm over his stomach when he climbed in next to her. "I think you've become much more mature than you give yourself credit for, Wyatt. You take care of little Kayla so well. You're a man now, remember?" she teased with a little wink.
((do you want to skip in this one?? I don't really know what to say lol))
Jake chuckled softly and nodded a little bit slipping his arms around her waist," I know it is." He replied looking down at her. He paused for a little bit before answering her," I don't know Sofia." He said softly," if I am able to I will but I don't know where we are going and what is waiting for us there." He told her softly hugging her a little bit. Wyatt smiled a little bit at her and pulled her close to his side carefully. "Well I'm glad you think I'm all grown up now." He told her laughing a little bit as he rested his head near hers. "I will try to remember that I'm a man now."
((Yeah we can... Maybe to when she can get out of the hospital??))
Sofia stayed quiet while he talked, her eyes falling from his face. "I know." she said softly, swallowing back the tears she could feel threatening at the backs of her eyes. She dropped one of her hands to the side of her belly, where little Kaden was reacting to being so close to Jake by practically doing somersaults. "Well I'll be waiting for your call." she said with a small smile and looked up at him. "So don't even worry about what time it is or what I could be doing or anything. When you get a chance, you call. Okay?" she said, her eyes roaming his handsome face. Grace smiled a little. "I'll help you remember." she said playfully and turned a little to kiss his lips lightly. It was still a little weird to be able to just kiss Wyatt whenever she felt like it. She had thought about it for so long, but had never actually entertained the idea that she would be able to kiss him. The medicine was starting to work now, and she felt a lot better. Still tired and kind of weird, but not so sick anymore.
((Sure! do you want to start it?))
Jake frowned a little bit as she looked away from him and then sighed softly and pulled her as close as he could get her," I will and I won't worry about it but you have to tell me if you need me to call back later alright?" He asked softly leaning down a little to press his head against hers. Even he could feel Kaden jumping around in Sofia and that made him smile a bitWyatt smiled and kissed her back softly," good thing I have you around then." He replied. It was still a little strange to him that he could now be as affectionate with Gracie as he wanted. After thinking about what it would be like for years it was just so new and exciting to him even if she was still sick. "Are you feeling better now?" He asked softly brushing his nose against her cheek softly
Joelle was being wheeled out of the hospital and to Brody's car. She didn't want to go home since her parents blamed her for being in an abusive relationship and not getting help until it was too late. She sighed softly and looked up at Brody," I can just stay with you right?" She asked softly
"I will, baby. I promise." Sofia said softly and closed her eyes for a moment, reaching up to place her hand lightly on his cheek. "I love you so much, Jake. Whatever happens....just don't forget that, okay?" She said softly and kissed his lips gently, closing her eyes as her soft lips separated from his.Grace nodded, her lips curling in a small smile. "I do feel better. Whatever he gave me must be working." She said calmly, leaning we face closer to him. "And trust me, you are so lucky to have me." She teased and winked at him playfully, wrapping her arms more tightly around him. "Thank you for coming with me today." She said with a yawn.
"Of course you can, Jo. We have already gone over this a million times." He insisted with a light chuckle. He was a little nervous about today, if he was honest. He just wanted to make it as smooth as possible for Joelle, and she had never stayed with him for longer than a few hours. He wanted her to be happy and comfortable, and he wasn't really sure how to do that.
Jake nodded slightly and just let his head rest against hers," I know and I love you too." He said softly kissing her back gently. He knew that soon enough he would hear the plane land and he would have to leave her with his brother and go off to do his job. Wyatt laughed softly and hugged her close," well I wouldn't know what it's like to not have you around since we've been friends forever." He replied looking at her. He was glad that she was laughing and teasing him it made him know that she was feeling better.
Joelle nodded slightly," yeah I know I just wanted to make sure." She replied softly and looked up at him. "I'm glad I get to get out of the hospital though." She commented softly
Sofia leaned against him as best she could, stroking his arm lightly with her fingertips. She didn't really know what else there was to say, so she was content to just stand with Jake for as long as she could. Sofia stiffened when people started moving around and picking up bags. She hadn't heard the plane come in or anybody announce its arrival, but she really had been too lost in her thoughts to pay attention. She held onto him tighter and closed her eyes, hoping he didn't have to leave already.Grace giggled and snuggled into his side. "That's true. I can't imagine the kind of person I would be if you hadn't been my friend for so long." she said honestly, playing with the soft hairs on his arm with her fingers absentmindedly. Her head lay on the pillow next to his shoulder, her eyelids growing heavier as she stared at the ceiling.
Brody smiled softly at her. "Yea I know. I'm glad you get to come home too." he said softly and touched her shoulder lightly. He helped her out of the wheelchair and into the car that he had brought around to the front earlier. "Are you ready?" he asked her with an encouraging smile.
