Chapter 1: When everything changed

The alarm clock buzzed off at 6:00am again, it was meant to be fixed 3 weeks ago by the man occupying the other half of Annie's bed. But his short memory has proven to be even shorter than she imagined.

"Hey, baby. Turn it off."

Annie turned back around to face the heavily muscled man "I would. But you my honey haven't gotten it fixed yet!" He grumbled and pulled the covers over his head. She laughed out loud, at the clear impression that he defiantly wasn't a morning person. A face reappeared from the covers pouting. "What are you pouting at?" she smiled.

"Hmm ... one sec." He unplugged the alarm clock and set his sights back on his wife, He grabbed her upper arms and pulled her on top of him.

Annie squealed "LIAM! Stop." Her efforts to stop her advancing husband failed as he planted his mouth on hers, his tongue asking to enter her mouth and prepare for battle. His hands roamed around the light brown warmth of her skin, they made their way up to her hair as he began planting kisses on her neck. "Liam.." Annie tried to argue again but he had other ideas.

Within a split second he had flipped her over and was in the process of slowly moving down her body, placing kisses on each section of skin he past. "You're just so hot!" He spoke between breaks as he ventured even further. Annie now, had no intention of stopping his journey, they were so good together and she was incredibly thankful that he had finished her book 3 years ago and caught her plane in time. This was where they belonged - in each other's arms.

Liam got to her belly button before the ringing of the house phone shocked the couple, at 1st he shook it off but after the 5th call; it finally had his rhythm interrupted "Who the hell could be calling now?" He angrily stated before hopping up and running down the stairs to catch it in time. Annie laughed again at his bad temper because he couldn't finish what he started.

She clambered down the stairs a short while after only to see Liam's ghost face nodding at the caller's information. She froze on the last step and waited till the phone was hung up, her heart was pounding - she had an inclination of the call but wanted nothing more than for it to be false. She slowly looked up to Liam, his arms were stretched out and tears rolling down his cheek. Annie looked at him with pleading eyes but he shook his head. She burst into tears and melted onto the last step, he rushed over to catch her head before it subconsciously hit the tiled floor of their house.

This was it, their last moments together before their whole lives would be turned upside down again. Liam had been given a 18 month tour of Afghanistan in one of the worst and dangerous areas and this was most likely his last goodbye.

He whipped the tears from Annie's cheeks and brought her in for the longest embrace they had ever had. "I'll write and call ok? I won't leave!" He promised her while placing his palm on her heart. She could only bare a nod at his words. "I love you so much! I would do anything to be home with you every night." He placed another kiss on her rosy lips and bent down to collect his bag." He kissed her one last time before turning round to board the plane.

Annie's hands fell to her stomach "LIAM WAIT!" She shouted as she remembered the biggest news that would also probably be the last piece of news he would hear in person from her. He ran quickly back panicked.

"Babe, what is it?" He panted.

"Give me your hand." He looked very confused as he gave up his hand to his wife, she placed it on her stomach and smiled at him. "I was going to tell you yesterday but we got I got side-tracked and forgot." He looked back down to where his hand was placed and back up to Annie's eyes. She nodded and the tears came flowing back to both of them.

"I'm so happy, I'm going to be a daddy, you have no idea how happy both of you make me." He cried to her stomach "I'll see you when you are big and strong. I love you!" He placed a kiss on her clothing before re-kissing Annie.

"1st Sergeant Court your presence is required on the aircraft."

"Yes sir." Liam saluted back, "Looks like I have to go." He kissed Annie again "I promise I will be back." Again, he placed his hand on Annie's heart and one in the middle of her stomach. "Bye." And with that he was gone.

Annie subconsciously arrived at Naomi's house a few hours later, her eyes puffy and blotchy from all the crying. Before she had chance to clear up her face the door swung open and there stood a shocked Naomi. "Oh my god, Annie what's wrong? Why are you crying?" She immediately pulled her into an embrace.

"He went this morning." She cried into Naomi's chest.

"Who? Liam?" Annie just nodded she couldn't say anything, "The amount of times he has done this. I need to have a huge word with him!"

"NO! It's not like that. We got a phone call 2 days ago saying he was being sent over there. He shipped out this morning." She cried even harder into Naomi's chest.

"Oh Annie!" The two stayed in the door way embracing until a gust of wind pushed them back into the house. Both the women chuckled. "How about we watch the notebook?" Annie nodded and followed her best friend to the living area. "Any preference?" Annie shook her head, she didn't care at the moment she just wanted anything to take her mind of Liam.

14 hours later and they were still sitting going through a film of the day. "Do you want to stay here again, tonight?" Naomi asked Annie who had spent the last 8 hours with her feet on Naomi's lap.

Annie nodded "Thank you so much for this." Naomi nodded and pulled her into another embrace. They were just about to pull out when Annie's cell started ringing. "It's Liam." She said excitedly.

Hi baby, I've arrived in London. Leaving for the base in Germany in 2 hours. How are you?

I'm great - I've just been hanging out with Naomi for the last day. How was the flight?

It was great, I miss you a lot too and my little bump.

Annie laughed We all miss you too!

I'm so sorry baby, they are calling us over for another briefing. I love you.

It's ok. Be safe! I love you so much.

Annie hung up and looked over to Naomi who had her eyebrow raised. "So who is we?" She asked

"Urm, I found out 2 days ago when Liam got the call."

"AHHH!" She screamed "I can't believe I am going to be an auntie. I'm so happy for you both. Liam will be at the birth right?"

"Oh yes! He isn't getting out of that. But he can only be off for two weeks so that might prove a challenge."

"With your new situation, I am moving you in here. Take the bedroom next to mine!"

"Oh Naomi there is no need for that I'll be fine." Annie insisted.

"Oh no babe, this is non-negotiable you ARE staying." Annie laughed at her friends dedication - it looked like now her next few months will be spend in the constant company of Naomi. Great, she thought sarcastically.
