I finally got back to my car and was driving home when I decided to stop for food I picked up drive thru for me and betts and drove home it was late and I was tired. I got to the house and I unlocked the door and dropped my bag inside quietly the put the food on the counter. I looked over at the couch and there was betts sleeping her little heart out there was papers scattered on the coffee table and her laptop open I sat on the ground next to her and gently rubbed her back since she was on her tummy " betts sweetheart "
" juggie " she mumbled gently she was so sleepy I had like no heart to wake her up this was adorable.
" it's me sweetheart " her eyes softly opened and she smiled " hi "
" your home "
" I am "
" I want hugs " she mumbled. She sat up and I sat next to her and she crawled right into my arms and hugged me tightly. " is this a dream. "
" no baby "

" you just got home I want you to relax I got it babe "
" I want you okay I don't care about anything else I just want to hold you in my arms. "

NEXT MORNING.
I woke up to the smell of pancakes I sat up and smiled I went downstairs and betts was cooking " hey handsome " we kissed. I wrapped my arms around her waist. " you feel any better "
" just having you makes me feel better " I laid my head on her shoulder.
" your back baby "
" hurts but not as much as before "
" are we going to see your mom and dad "
" mhm I miss my family "

" I hate not talking and not touching "
" I'm sorry I didn't want you to be upset "
" I just missed you so much and to not even talk it hurts do you still love me. "
" don't be stupid of course I love you we haven't a seen each other in 6 months baby it's not easy to go back to be with someone immediately I was all alone so I'm adapting handsome I'm sorry "
" it's fine I'm emotionally unstable constantly "
" did something happen. "
" I was shot and ever since I've been so emotional "
" you were what " He lifted his shirt to show a little scar. " jug "
" it was scary and ever since I've been and emotional mess because I was alone and scared "
" want to talk about it "
" if you don't care "
" I don't mind "
" I was going about the base when we were attacked and shot at. I was the first and luckily they missed any major organs but I was laying the unable to move for hours and that was maybe the hardest my best friend he found me and picked me up and carried me to are surgeons and they put me under and took the billet out and sewed me up and I was out for maybe three days but then back at it after so I really hadn't got a second to think of it but I thought I was going to die then and there and I cried and ever since I get emotional easily and I cry a lot "
" aww honey I'm so sorry "
" it's just scary I've never been shot so I just need to get through it but until then I'm a cry baby "
"How's the wound is it healed "
