Chapter 34

Ariel P.O.V <3

It's been a a week since we both came out of the hospital.

Rose left us with extra cash for Zach and for food and gas. Bruce have been a really good dad. At night Zach would cry and I will get up but Bruce will tell me to go back asleep and he will get it. He's been a really good at changing diapers. At first when we came home, he offered to change Zachs diaper, but he threw up by barley opening the straps.  He didn't throw up on him. Thank god. He just kept changing it even with his throw up in his mouth.

But  life been good so far. I lost most of the baby weight but I have some love handles. Every time I'm in the shower Bruce will sometimes come in and just squeeze them. He says "They're just so squishy, it feels like a slime ball." I slapped him and told him to get out. I didn't talk for him for the rest of the day, until he did something for me. *cough* *cough*

I didn't return to school, I'm just going to stick to a full time mom, but Bruce wants to go to the army. I told him he's crazy but he said he would go for only 2 years.

I slapped him again, and told him I couldn't last 9 months without him, how am I supposed to last 2 years! He said he will think it through, but he still looks like he want to go.

Ugh. I can't have my family with me for aleast a year.

Anyway, we are flying to Chicago so we can meet at Vales place for New Years. Everyone is supposed to meet there so let's just see.

***

"ARIEL! WHERES MY SUITCASE?!" Bruce yelled from the otherside of the apartment.

"I DONT KNOW! UNDER OUR BED MAYBE?!"  I yelled while putting Zach in a jumper and then wrapping him a blanket.

"FOUND IT!"  I rolled my eyes and grabbed Zachs diaper bag.

"You're going to be exactly like your father, you know that." I said while grabbing my suit case and rolling it to the front door.

"Hurry up Bruce! We are going to miss our flight!" I said while rocking Zach and he's sleeping in my arm.

I hear Bruce's big feet stomping and then see him pop out of the living room door.

"Let's go. We're late!" He said while grabbing our bags and hurrying out the door.

We made it to the plane just right when they were about to close the gates for our plane.

I landed on the seat with a 'huff' and closed my eyes. I felt Bruce land on the seat and felt him come closer till I felt him kiss the side of my head.

"You excited?''

I looked at him then sighed. "It's just... Im just don't want to rub Zachary in Vales face."

He looked at me with frown then open his mouth but nothing came out. I sighed and looked out the window.

We landed and Zachary got flustered when the plane landed. I think it was his ears that popes when landing. We grabbed are bags and called Vic to pick us up.

"Where is he at? I told him what time to come. That son of - *honk* Vic's car horn cut of Bruce and Vic came out and helped out with the bags.

They did their bro hug and he came and hug me and kiss my forehead and said hi to baby Zach.

"So this is the little trouble maker huh?" Vic said while smiling and having his finger in Zachs little had. Zach smiled then turned his head in my chest.

"Come on. Vales waiting. And Don and Dylan are there and Andrew and Steph took a cab. Vince and Paulina...ugh I don't know about them." Vic said while opening my door and then going to drive.

Once we made it to their house, I can't even explain it. It was gorgeous.

"How the FÛCK did you get this fûck in HOUSE!" Bruce said while climbing out and looking at their house.

"Owning a company dibshit." He said while helping me out and them grabbing my bags and Bruce did the same but was still phased by his house.

We made our way in the house and greeted everyone. Don delivered 2 days before me, so we had 2 December babies in this family. Steph and Andrew are still engaged but they're planning to do their wedding in June.

"LOOK WHO HAS A BROTHER JACE!" Don screamed when me and Bruce walked in the kitchen with Zachary. Jace started to cry because of how lound his mom yelled next to his little ears.

"Shît! DYLAN!" Don said while giving Jace to Steph and running out.

Steph looked at me for help but Andrew got Jace and calmed him down.

"There, there. You're okay." He said while rocking him. Soon Jace calmed down and started to fall asleep in his arms but Dylan came in and took him to a quieter room but without say thank you to Andrew first. Steph was looking at Andrew with some much love in her eyes and I knew what she was thinking.

"Hey Steph and Andrew." I said while walking up to them and hugging each of them but stopped when Steph wanted to hold Zach. I was hesitant at first but passed him over and Steph looked down at him and start to talk to him.

While Steph was talking to Zachary Andrew was looking at Steph the whole time.

Well here comes another baby in the family.

I grabbed Bruce's hand and we walked out of the kitchen and into the living room. The first thing that happen was me and Bruce fell straight to the ground with two people on top of us.

"Ughhh... What the fûck! Get off!" Bruce said while trying to push off the body weight on him while I tried to the same. Then I heard giggles and a deep laugh. I know these two.

Paulina and Vince.

"GET OFF OF ME PAULINA!" I yelled straight in her ear. That made her jump and she rolled off of me. Then I heard Vince get up to. They both helped us up and hugged us.

When we pulled apart, I saw Paulina and Vince come closer together. I raised an eyebrow and saw in the corner of my eye and see Bruce do the same.

Paulinas cheeks got red while Vince had a smirk on showing off his perfect white teeth.

"You guessed it." Vince said while pulling Paulina closer till there was no room between them. "We're back together." He said proud while Paulina was as red as a fire truck.

"Yeah, I know. I knew you guys can't last long without each other. Bruce said.

"Yeah... Well now we are back together and happy." Vince said while kissing the side of her head.

"Where's baby Zach and Jace?" Paulina said while Vic and Vale came walking in and stopped when they saw all of us.

Vale came and hugged us all and while the guys have her a kiss on her forehead. The thing I was noticing was every time she looked at my stomach she would rub hers. It broke my heart just seeing her like that.

We soon all came together and it was already 11:30pm and the babies were asleep in other rooms and we are all eating and waiting for the count down to a new year.

"So... You own a company and Vale is your PA?" I said while eating some chips and scooping some dip on it.

"Yeah. This one calls me, just so he can kiss me, when he doesn't have work to do." Vale said while poking his side. He just smiled and pulled her closed and whispered something into her ear and she blushed.

"What have you 2 been up to?" I asked Paulina and Vince. They looked at each other and blushed they were saying different things at the same time then stopped then started to talk at the same time again.

"Okayyy.... Andrew... Steph, what have you two been doing?"

"Well. I'm still looking for a dress and I still don't know what color theme I want. Oh. I almost forgot, will you four be my bridesmaids?" She asked while looking at her hands.

"Hell yeah. Party BÎTCHES!" Don said while try to get up to dance but Dylan grabbed her before she can leave.

"Of course."

"Yeah, and it should be gold." Paulina said.

"Yes, and speaking of bridesmaids do you guys want to be mine too?" Vale asked. We all said yes while the guys talked about other shit.

"GUYS! ITS 11:58!" Vince said. We all turned on the tv and waited for the ball to drop. We all went next to our partners and waited.

11:59

We all got ready and Vic came running back with wine in his hand. He placed it on the coffee table and ran to Vale.

Bruce's cupped my face with one hand and one holding the lower part of my back. I wrapped my hands around his neck and waiting for his move.

"2" Bruce's whispered while leaning in. Our nose touched and i was trying get closer to him.

"1" I whispered back. Then I felt his warm lips on mine. His tongue invaded my mouth and both of us fighting for control. I heard everyone scream happy New Year, But when we pulled away I heard Paulina scream Yes.

I look and see Vince on one knee while holding a beautiful ring in front of her. I was shocked and so was everyone else but we congratulated them and we all grabbed some wine, but of course. Me and Don had to drink apple cider. But hey. That shit is bomb asf. Just saying.

We all talked and talked about how Vince felt while proposing.

"Fûck man. That was hardest thing I ever had to do. Fûck. And I thought you guys were just saying shit to scare me. Fûck." He said while signing and running a hand through his hair.

"Hey aleast you got the girl. And you better take care of my sister. I don't want to beat my best friend ass up again" Dylan said while giving him a death glare.

He just rolled his eyes and grabbed Paulinas hand a kissed the back of it.

"So now wha-" but I got cut off with Zachary crying. I let out a sigh and excused myself from the table.

"What is it baby?"

"Diaper change?"

"Hungry?" Then he yelled at that one.

"Okay. Hungry it is." But then Jace started to cry.

"Shit. Okay ugh... Wh-"

"I'm right here. He likes to eat all the time." Don said while picking up Jace. I grabbed Zachary and walked to the bed and started to feed him. Don did the same but just decided to stand.

"Fûck. Calm down. It not going anywhere." She said while patting his back. I laugh at how Don takes care of her baby.

She going be a fun mom.

Zachary was done and I burped him and rocked him back to sleep.

"Ariel can you get me his blanket in his bag."

"Where is the bag?"

"Under the bed."

I walked towards the bed and kneeled down and stuck my hand under the bed. I felt something and I thought it was the bag but when I pulled it out it was all kinds of used pregnancy tests.

All positive.

I looked up at Don and see her looking at the box with huge eyes. She then looked back at me and I see this huge smile coming on her face.

"Guess you're getting another brother Jace." She said while giggling and then rocking him to sleep.

***

We made our way back, but me and Don brought back the box.

I looked at her and she gave me a nod then stand up.

"YOU LITTLE BÎTCH!" She said while slamming her hands on the table. Everyone looked at her with a confused face and Dylan pulling her arm to sit down. But she was staring directly at Vale with a huge smile. She looked at her weird then looked at me because I was standing up to. No one was paying attention to me, they were all staring at Don like she was on some kind of drug. I took one out and shown her one. Her eyes popped out and you can see her swallow. Hard. She then turned back to Don and see her walking towards me.

"Every one. LISTEN TO THIS IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT! WE HAVE ANOTHER PREGNANT WOMAN IN THIS FAMILY!" She said while grabbing the box and placing In front of Vic. He looked at it confused and grabbed one. He turned it around and saw it was positive and looked at us again.

Me and Don looked at eachother then looked back and Vic.

"VALE IS PREGNANT!" We both screamed at the same time. People gasped then looked at vale who was turning really red. Vic then looked at her then back at the box then back to vale.

"Y-you're pregnant?" He said while looking at her in shocked.

"Well- I- ugh- I was going to tel-"

"You're pregnant." He said while cutting her off and asking her in more of a statement.

"Yes. I'm pregnant." She said with a small smile. As soon as those words left her mouth Vic attack her lips and picked her up and spun her around. We all cheered and once they were done everyone congratulated them and asked when she knew.

She said she barely found out 2 days ago, but was scared of Vic will think.

We all started to change into our pjs and went to the rooms that Vic and vale shown us. The baby's were in a separate room because I didn't want him to sleep on a couch in our room so, I put a baby monitor next to him. We said goodnight to everyone and kissed Bruce goodnight and fell asleep in his arms.

****

4 months have passed since New Years, and Bruce is leaving.

He's leaving to serve are country.

Yes. He's in the army now. Both him and Dylan are in the same group. They are both flying over seas to help in Afghanistan.

"Please! Please! Please Bruce come back home to me alive, healthy, and have all your limbs intact. Please promise you will come back to me." I said with tears in my eyes and some coming out.

"I promise. I promise to come back. It's just a year. It's not two." He said with smirk coming on his face. I slapped his chest and he looked at me weird.

"And I told you I can't last without you for two. How am I supposed to last a year?"

"Oh you'll miss me."

"No duh. Why wouldn't I miss my love of my life?"

"Don't worry I will miss you too." He said while giving me a kiss. I left out a sigh and pulled him closer to my body, and kissed him with so much love. We pulled away both of us were breathing heavy. Zach was on his walker, rolling around and bumped into the kitchen door. I chuckled and see Bruce with a smile and walking to his son.

"Ughhhhh I'm going to miss my baby boy." He said while picking up Zach and tossing him in the air. I got a mini heart attack but calmed down when he catches him. Zach was having the time of his life by laughing and smiling at his dad.

Now that I look at both of them, they look exactly the same. Grey eyes. Light brown hair. Soft hair. Beautiful smile. And so much happiness in their eyes.

I smiled and walked up to them and gave Bruce a kiss on his cheek.

"What was that for?" He said while throwing Zach in the air again and catching him then placing him on his hip.

"Just love seeing my boys spend time with eachother." I smiled then gave Zach a kiss while he was laughing so I kept peppering him with kisses when he was smiling and laughing and trying to hide his face in Bruce's shoulder.

"Hey. I'm supposed to be getting those kisses,not this player." Bruce said while smiling and giving a poke in Zachs little stomach.

"Well. I like him more. So he gets more kisses." I whispered and walked away.

"Hey. Wait." I hear him trying to put Zach in the walker again, but I was already halfway up the stairs. "Ariel!" I heard him running up the stairs. I giggled and ran to our room. I didn't have time to close the door because Bruce busted through the door. I laughed and ran towards the bathroom but strong arms wrapped around my waist and threw me onto the bed. I was laughing the whole time and my body hit the bed and made me bounce. I was about to get up and run but Bruce's body came on top of me. My laughs filled the room. Bruce grabbed my wrist and pinned them onto of my head. His face was only centimeters away and his breath was fanning my face.

"Why don't I get those kisses?" He whispered in my ear.

I whispered back."Because you not the real man I'm looking for. Zachary is the man in this house." I said while giggling in the end. He face came in front of me and I see a smirk coming on on his perfect face.

"I will show you what a real man is." He whispered husky.

"You're to small. You're not a real man."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes." I whispered and bitting his earlobe.

I didn't get time to process everything. Because next thing you knew it, clothes were on the ground and are naked bodies were tangled together.

When we finished we heard the door bell ring. We got changed and went back down stairs. I knew it was time for Bruce to leave so I got his bags and walked to the door. I open it and see Dylan standing and holding his hand up to my face showing me his watch.

"You guys are disgusting! I heard everything! I was here stand for 30 minutes! We have to be at the airport in 15 minutes! LETS GO BRUCE!" Then he gave me a quick hug and ran towards the cab.

I turned back around and see Bruce chuckling. I slapped his arm, and gave him a goodbye kiss. He gave Zach one last kiss then kissed me again.

"I will call you when we land."

"Okay."

"I love you. You know that."

"And I love you more. Hurry up before I change my mind and not let you go, and take you up stairs again."

"Now I don't want to leave." He said while groaning.

"Go." I said while pushing his chest. He smiled and gave me a quick kiss and grabbed his bags.

"Love you."

"Love you too. Now stop stalling."

"Okay."

And that was the last thing he said while he ran towards the cab and stuffed his bags in the trunk. I waved at the cab while it took off. Once I couldn't see the cab anymore, the tears came out.

I walked back inside and grabbed Zach for his bath. I walked towards the bathroom and made sure the water was warm. I kept whipping my eyes of tears falling down. I placed Zach in and cleaned him up.

It took some time to clam down the tears. I got Zach to go asleep so placed him his crib and went down stairs for some tea.

I continued to watch American Horror Story Freak Show. I didn't know I feel asleep till I heard my phone ring on the coffee table. I got up and see Bruce is calling.

Hello

Hey baby. I just landed. Just calling you to let you know.

Oh. How's it all ready over there?

It's good so fa- let me talk to her!-No she's mine and you call Don!-I already did, she said she was taking a shit, so she will call me after!- well... To bad!

Hello?

Hello?

Sorry. Dylan is being a dick and not letting me talk to you.

Tell him I will talk to him later.

Okay- she said she will talk to you later.- tell her okay! -okay. He said okay.

I smiled at how dumb both of them are. No wonder they're best friends.

Baby. I got to go. The Sargent is calling for us for roll call. Talk to you later. Give Zach  a kiss for me. Love you!

Lov-

Then the phone call ended.

"Love you too." I sighed and ran my hand through my hair and turned off the tv. I walked towards the sink and placed the cup in and walked towards my room. I turned on the baby monitor next to the night stand and hear Zach sleeping peacefully. I walked towards the bathroom  and turned on the shower. I stripped out of my clothes and walked in. I let the warm water relax me and just stand there for an hour.

I made my way towards the closet and place one of Bruce's black shirt over my body and walked towards the bed.

I cried that night. And cried myself to sleep.

****

5 monthes later.

"Come to daddy!" Bruce said through the laptop screen.

I'm FaceTiming Bruce and have the laptop on floor. Today's Zachs first birthday and he started to learn how to walk,but this is the first time Bruce will see him.

Zach got up from the ground and started to take small steps. He was smiling and laughing every time he fell. My heart swelled at the sight. He got up once more and walked towards the screen.

"That's it. Walk to daddy."

I took picture of him and some of Bruce's expression.

He was face was filled with joy and he had glossy eyes. I got some few tears of joy when Zach made his way towards Bruce and sat down next to him and smiled then waved at him.

"Hey buddy." Bruce said while his voice crake at the end. Zach was making all kinds of happy noises and smiled and never looked away from his dad.

I kept whipping my eyes and saw Bruce do the same.

"I promise to come back. I promise. Just know that little guy. Just know that your dad will never leave you or his mother. I love so much. I love my little fighter."

*****

1 year and 3 months later.

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU HAVE TO STAY ANOTHER YEAR!" I yelled through the lap top screen.

"I HAVE TO STAY ANOTHER YEAR TO HELP OUT! THEY NEED ME ARIEL!"

"WHAT ABOUT ME! WHAT ABOUT ZACHARY!?"

"I don't know." He whispered

"WHAT?!"

"I DONT KNOW! I don't know Ariel! I wanted to go home! I really did! But I can't! They asked for my help and I couldn't say no! Even Dylan said yes! Don was upset, she cried like you. And I know you cry everyday! I see the puffiness under your eyes! I see that! I see that everyday when I call! I see that you're getting skinnier! I see that you have bags under your eyes! I see you put on a fake smile everyday! I see that Ariel! It hurts me see you like that! And it's all my fault! I want to go home! I really do! I want to see my baby boy, I want to see my beautiful fiancé and I want to be able to hold you! But I'm doing this for us! Our family! They will help us!they will help us in our worst days! I need to do this! I need your support to do it."

By the time he finished my eyes were blurry with water and my cheeks were moist with tears.

"Okay." I whispered back.

"I love you Ariel don't ever forget that. Okay? I love you so so much. It hard living without you. It kills me everyday not be able to hold you and kiss you."

"It hard for me too. I love you so much Bruce."

"I love you too- BRUCE! WE GOT TO GO! ITS A CODE RED!" I heard Dylan say. My heart started to pound harder and my ears were alerted to hear anything. Then I saw Bruce's face turn pale.

"Bruce? What's happening?!"

"Ugh. Nothing. Absolutely nothing. Love you I got to go."

"No BRUCE! YOU BETTER NOT CLICK!"

"I got go Ariel! I love you and Zach! No matter what happens just know I love you!" He said while I heard shouting in the background then gun shots.

My eyes grew huge. "BRUCE! NO! YOU BETER NOT LEAVE ME! YOU HEAR ME! YOU PROMISED ME AND ZACH!"

"I love you! Just please take car-" then his screen crashed.

"Bruce? BRUCE! NO! YOU CANT LEAVE ME! DANNIT BRUCE! PLEASE!" I yelled at screamed. Then grabbed the laptop and threw it to the wall in frustration. I gripped my hair and screamed.

****

3 months later.

"Happy birthday to Zachary. Happy birthday to you! Hurry baby! Blow out your candles."

But Zach just stared at the candles burning. Then he looked up at me and blew out his candles.

"Want to know what I wished for mommy?" He said while looking at me with sad eyes.

"You can't tell me. It won't come true baby."

"I wished daddy will come for my birthday." He whispered. I sucked in a breath and got glossy eyes. My heart hurt just seeing my 3 year old boy think his dad won't come for any of his birthdays.

"Aww my baby boy." I said while walking to him and bending down and hugging him with tears coming out.

"Your daddy loves you. He's just at work. He will come back. He will. He promised us."

"Okay."

*****

1 year later.

I was walking out with Zach hold my hand out of the grocery store and walking to my car.

I placed the groceries in the trunk but my phone rang. Zach looked at me weird but then I  looked at it and saw it was unknown.

"Hello?"

"Ariel?" My whole body froze. It's been a year and three months since I heard that voice.

"B-Bruce?"

"Oh that God Ariel! I been trying to call you for a whole year! How come you never answer my calls!"

"I-I- what- you been trying for a year?"

"Yes! I called everyday, every night! But nothing! Absolutely nothing."

"I-I thought you were dead." My voice cracking in the end. I heard him suck in a breath.

"I told you. And I promised you. I would never leave you."thats when I started to ball. Zach gave me a confused face and I just handed him the phone and putting it on speaker.

"H-hello?" He said in his tiny voice.

"Zach?"

"D-daddy?"

"Oh my god! Yes baby boy! It me! Daddy!"

"Daddy!?"

"Yes! I miss you so much my little boy!"

"I miss you too daddy!" He said while his whole face lit up in joy.

"Daddy I miss you. Please come home."

"I'm coming home. I promise two more weeks I will come home."

"Okay."  He then passed me the phone.

"Hello?" I asked while voice was filled with emotions.

"Im coming home in 2 weeks Ariel. Okay? Two weeks."

"Okay."

"I love you."

"I love you too."

****

2 weeks later.

I got the whole apartment ready. I made Bruce's favorite food, change Zach in really cute blue jeans and a flannel. I wore a yellow summer dress and now waiting for him to come.

Four hours past since Bruce was supposed to come, now I'm just drawing with Zach.

"Mom look. I drew you and daddy." He said while showing me a drawing of two stick figures. One was taller and one was smaller.

I smiled and kiss his forehead."let's go place it on the fridge okay?"

"Okay."

We both got up but the doorbell rang.

My heart pick up and I look down at Zach and see him with a huge smile.

We both ran to the door and I swung the door open.

But it wasn't Bruce.

It was Dylan in his uniform with Don behind and Jace. Don had tears coming down her face while Dylan had his hat off.

My smile soon turned to a frown and my eyebrows turned to confused. I grabbed Zachs tiny hand and held it close.

"W-where's Bruce?"

Dylan looked at me with glossy eyes. Don started to ball again and my heart and lungs felt like they been ripped out of my body.

"No.no.no" I said while squeezing Zachs hand alittle hard but not to the point to hurt him.

"I'm sorry A-Ariel." Now Dylan is full on crying.

"No. No he said he will come back! He promised me!" Now I'm full on pounding on his chest while screaming and crying my heart out. Zach is full on confused and starting to get scared. Don took him in his room with Jace so they can play together.

"NO! HE PROMISED ME! HE SAID HE WOULD NEVER LEAVE ME! HE SAID THAT! HE PROMISED! HES STILL HERE!" I said while punching Dylan. He grabbed my hands and pulled me into his chest and my body fell limp. I screamed and cried on Dylan's chest.

"He promised."

****

Bruce's P.O.V ;)

6 hours before Ariel got the news.

"Are you excited to see our girls?" I asked while packing up my stuff.

"Of course. I get to kiss that sweet ass again, and see my little boy." Dylan said while looking at a picture in his hand with Don and Jace.

"Yeah." I said while looking at a picture of me and Ariel from highschool.

"I'm surprised you still have that picture." Dylan said while snapping me out of my little moment.

"Yeah."

"You two look so happy there."

"That's when I knew she was the one." I said while looking at the amusement park picture of us looking at eachother under the lights.

"Come on. I need to see my family."

"Okay."

***

We were packing up the plane and going to get ready to take off.

"OKAY! I WOULD LIKE TO THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE TO OUR COUNTRY! NOW YOU CAN SEE YOUR FAMILY!" Are Sargent said.

"Does he have to yell the whole time?" Dylan asked me on my right side.

"I guess."

"NOW YOU MAY G-" he didn't get finished when a bomb cut him off. My eyes turn huge and everyone was yelling for us to get our weapons and saying we are under attack.

We all ran to cover but the fûckers have put bombs everywhere.

"BRUCE! WATCH OUT!" I heard Dylan say but didn't have time to react. I was thrown into the air and all I can hear is a ringing sound. I saw Dylan and one of my coworker Kaden run up to me. They were yelling at me but I couldn't hear anything. They were shooting then yelling at my other coworkers. Then I got my hearing back. All I heard was gunshots being fired and yelling from left and right.

"BRUCE! STAY WITH ME! YOU'RE BLEEDING OUT! DONT MOVE! IM PUTTING PRESSURE ON IT!" Kaden yelled. Then I felt myself being lifted up. All I saw was the blue sky filled with dust and screaming of pain filling the air. I dont know where I'm bleeding at but all I know is I'm bleeding way to much.

They placed me on the nurses tabled and the doctor and nurse started to work right away.

"He has internal bleeding by a glass stuck in his lung and heart." the doctor said. Dylan was yelling at him to get it out but the doctor was trying to calm him down.

"You dont understand. If I operate on him, he wont survive. He cant make it through the surgery, and cant make it right now. he lost too much blood. I'm sorry.' The doctor finished but soon got a fist to his face. Dylan started to punch him and yelling all kinds of shit to him, that I didnt hear.

"Dylan."

He heard me and ran to the bed.

"Tell Ariel and Zachary I loved them. And tell them I failed them."

"NO! Youre going to see them. You told me everyday that you promised them that you will be there. SO FIGHT BRUCE! FIGHT!"

"Just tell them. Please.' I said while my voice was turning softer and my vision turning to white.

"BRUCE! NO! YOU CAN'T LEAVE!'

Slowly his voice was fading and the last thing I heard him say.

"I promise."

Then I was surrounded with white.

****

1998-2024

"Hey dad! I'm now 6 years old! I met this girl, and she kept touching me. I will tell her she has coodies. But she doesn't listen." I started to block out Zachs voice and just stared at the grave in front of me.

My husbands grave.

"You promise me. You promise.' I whispered then laid next to Zach and placed the new flowers next to Bruce.

"I will see you soon. But not to soon Bruce.' I whispered and played with the grass and stared at Zach.

"I love you Bruce."
