Lauren Jauregui imagines

Honey, I'm home

Prompt: You and Lauren were childhood sweethearts. You have been an item since you were 13 and have been married for 16 years. When you joined the navy at 16 and didn't come home for 4 years. You proposed as soon has you came home and you both tied the knot 2 years later. At 16 Lauren fell pregnant with Josh just before you left but she didn't tell you until you returned. It's his 16th birthday tomorrow and you promised to be home however, things became difficult back at base and you were unable to make it to his party. Or were you?

Y/D/N= your dads name

Lauren's P.O.V

"I'm sorry I can't make it home" my stomach dropped at his words

My heart is slightly breaking the more I heard him say it

"Please make it here. We need you and it's Josh's 16th birthday" I cried to my husband of 16 years

"Baby I'm so sorry I can't make it home" y/n cried to me "I miss you both so much"

"Baby we miss you too, please just come home. Josh wants you to be here so much. He was beaming when he noticed your return was on the calendar and he can't stop bragging to his friends about you being here" I explained

Y/n was a member of the navy and he loved it to pieces. He loved his job as much I loved being a part of Fifth Harmony. He had always dreamed of becoming a navel officer just like his dad. We'd been a couple since we were 13 and he was everything I could've ever asked for. He was sweet, charming, funny and just himself. I'd known him since he and his family had moved here when we were 9 years old and I'd always tell him how I wanted to travel the world and sing for thousands of people. We both made our dreams become a reality

He always told me his hopes of making Y/D/N, his dad, proud and joining the navy just like him. It made him so happy when he got accepted at 16, his family and mine were over the moon for him yet I was skeptical. On one side I was ecstatic and immensely proud of him, on the other hand I was nervous of losing him. Every time the phone goes I'm scared it'll be someone telling me he's dead or they lost contact with the ship and don't know where anyone is. I was his biggest supporter and he was mine.

Josh, our son, is so proud of him as well. Every time he comes home from school or we go out together or even when we go out with the girls and their kids he talks so much about y/n. It makes me so happy that they are so close even though y/n is gone most of the time.

It's his 16th birthday tomorrow and we both couldn't wait not only because he turns 16 but y/n was scheduled to come home but now, now y/n is crying on the phone to me saying he can't come home because there was a mix up with the times and he doesn't come home for another 3 months. 3 fucking months.

The worst part is that I have to break the news to Josh tomorrow on his birthday.

"I can't baby. I want to so much but I can't just up and leave, this is my job" he sniffles

"I know baby but please try and do something because Josh will be devastated when you don't come through that door. Couldn't you at least try and video call or something?" I dry my eyes but new ones fall straight away

"I'll try baby. I will try everything I can" he admits and I know he's telling me the truth

"I know you will y/n. I trust you" I smile

"I have to go baby" he tells me after someone calls his name in the distance

"No please y/n just 5 more minutes" I start sobbing again
