A\N This story was originaly supposed to be a multi-chapter fic but then I started writting it and I didn't know where to cut it into different chapters so now it's a one-shot but I have a few ideas for when they're older but I don't have a lot so I need to know what you guys want to see happen or what you think I should do with this story :D If you don't want me to continue with it that's ok too, just tell me.

Always and Forever

Eight year old Jules Callaghan slowly climbed out of bed and put on a blue t-shirt and a pair of jean shorts. It was the first day of summer and she didn't want to waste any of it. Running into the hallway she knew that her father was probably already at work so she ran to her oldest brothers door "Donnie!" She banged on the door. "Donnie, wake up!" She yelled as the sixteen year old finally opened the door. "I'm going outside to play." She announced "but before I do that I'm going to have breakfast."

"That's great Jules but why are you telling me?" Donald asked her as he yawned it was only eight thirty and he was still tired.

"Daddy's at work right?" She asked as Donald nodded his head. "I'm telling you so I don't get into trouble for not telling anyone and you're sixteen." Jules smiled. "Do you want to come outside and play with me?" She asked hopefully.

"No, Jules it's the first day of summer, I think somebody's moving in down the street go see if they have any kids your own age that you can annoy." Donald told her as she crossed her arms over her chest

"I am not annoying!" She told him as she stomped her foot loudly on the ground and turned around walking towards the stairs.

"Whatever you say," Donald whispered as he walked back into his room and crawled back into his bed and fell fast asleep.

"I hope the people moving in have a daughter my age." Jules said to herself as she grabbed a soccer ball from the garage and started dribbling it down the street towards the house that was being moved into. Jules didn't see any girls but she saw a blonde haired boy that looked around her age so she quickly picked up her pink and black soccer ball and ran towards him, tapping him on the shoulder she stuck out her hand and said, "My names Jules Callaghan I just turned eight and I live down the street, my Daddy's a Major and he works here on base."

The young boy stared at her for a few seconds before he finally opened his mouth to reply, "My names Sam Braddock and I turned eight a long time ago I live here my Dad's a Major too but he's overseas right now."

Jules nodded her head, "What happened to your arm?" She wanted to know, "Did you hurt it?"

Sam looked at his broken arm that was in a cast he knew what had happened but he didn't want to tell Jules, "I fell off my bike." He said quickly.

"I hope it feels better soon." She smiled as she looked at a box labeled "Sam's Room" and picked it up, "You can't carry it with a broken arm" She told him.

"Thanks," Sam smiled, "Is your real name Julia?" He asked, "My real name is Samuel but my father's the only one that calls me that."

"No, my names Jules," Jules smiled as she followed Sam up the driveway of his new house carrying a box of his things.

Sam opened his mouth to argue when his mother walked out of the house, "Sammy let me help you with-" She began when she noticed Jules, "Who's this, nice young women helping us move in?" She asked Jules smiling as she bent down to her level

"Julianna Callaghan," Jules said as she stuck out her hand, "It's very nice to meet you Mrs. Braddock." She said politely.

"It's nice to meet you too, Julianna." Christina Braddock shook the young girl's hand.

"Julianna, that's your real name? What kind of name is that?" Sam asked Jules.

"It's Italian, my mother was Italian!" Jules told him starting to get upset she didn't like to talk about her mother.

"She was?" Sam asked curiously as Jules' eyes began to fill with tears.

"Sam, go inside and put away some of the things that are already in your room." Christina told her son.

"I can't put anything away!" Sam told her as he showed her the cast.

"Don't talk back, now go inside." Christina instructed as Sam walked towards the front door of their house.

"I'm sorry I'm crying Mrs. Braddock." Jules quickly apologized whipping her eyes, "I don't usually cry."

"You don't have to be sorry sweetheart, let's go inside and get you something to drink." She led Jules inside the house, "Do you live on this street?

"Yes Ma'm." Jules said, "I live down the street over there." She pointed to the right, "My Daddy works on base but my older brothers are all home."

"How many older brothers do you have?" Christiana asked as she handed Jules a cold glass of water.

"Four, Donald is sixteen, Aiden is fourteen, Cory is twelve and Matthew is ten." Jules told her.

Christina nodded her head, "I apologize for what Sam said to you I'll talk to him about that." She told her.

"No that's ok a lot of people ask me questions like that I'm used to it." Jules told her, "It's just my name," She said quietly, "Everybody calls me Jules because-" She tried to finish but my tears fell down her cheeks."

"Jules, that's a very pretty name." Christina smiled, as Sam walked into the kitchen, "Sam I want you to apologize to Jules." Christina immediately told her son.

"Ok," Sam said moving his feet across the kitchen floor, "Jules I'm really sorry for making you upset." He told Jules as he looked at her, "I really didn't mean to."

"That's ok Sam!" Jules quickly told him as she ran up to him and grabbed his good hand, "The sooner we get everything in your room unpacked the sooner we can play!" Jules told him.

"You write things?" Jules asked Sam curiously as she took out a few journals from a box, "Can I read them?" She asked him as he raced towards her and quickly took them out of her hands.

"No! I don't let anybody read them!" He told her as he quickly put them in a drawer in his desk, "There are some things nobody needs to know about." Sam told her, "Everybody needs secrets." He told her.

Jules nodded her head knowing that Sam probably wasn't going to tell her what he had written about in his journals. "We can finish unpacking your room later lets go play outside!" She grabbed his good hand again and ran as fast as she could down the stairs of the house and into the kitchen where Sam's mother was unpacking, "Sam and I are going to go outside and play Mrs. Braddock!" She told her quickly.

"Yea, I think Jules wants to play soccer." Sam laughed.

"Ok," Christina agreed "Just stay in the yard where I can see you."

"Ok, we will." Sam told her before Jules led him outside and kicked her soccer ball to him, "So are you an only child too?" Sam asked her as he kicked the soccer ball back to her.

"No I have four older brothers!" She told him excitedly, "And two of them are coming right now!" She screamed with excitement as Cory and Matthew walked toward Sam's house. "Cory! Mattie!" She ran up to her older brothers."

"Jules, calm down," Cory told his younger sister, "Did you find out who was moving in?" He asked as they approached Sam's house.

"Yea, this is Sam Braddock and he's eight too!" Jules told them as they approached Sam.

"Hi," Sam waved. "Are you Jules older brothers?" He asked.

"We're the younger two." Matthew told him, "What happened to your arm?"

"Oh, I uh-I-"Sam stumbled for words as he tried to remember what he had told Jules.

"He hurt it when he fell off his bike." Jules finished for Sam.

Cory and Matthew were silent for a few minutes they knew that if Sam really hurt his arm when he fell off his bike he would remember. Neither boy knew what to say in response.

"He'll be ok though right Sam?" Jules asked thinking that her brothers were afraid that Sam was badly injured."

"Yeah, I'll be ok." Sam reassured her as he kicked the soccer ball to her feet, "Let's keep playing." He told her.

"Ok," Jules gladly agreed as she kicked the soccer ball back to Sam, "I'll be home before Daddy gets home." She told them, "I promise I will be."

Cory and Matthew nodded their head Jules knew the base very well and it was a very safe place to be, "Ok, but come back to the house at least once before." Cory told her.

"Ok I promise!" Jules agreed as she turned her attention back to her new friend, "So is your bike broken too or did it survive the crash?" She wondered.

"Uh, my bike is ok a little starched up but it's ok." Sam told her. "Do you like to play hockey?" He wondered.

Jules face immediately lit up, "Yeah I love hockey! I play all the time with my brothers! Do you like hockey?"

"Yeah," Sam smiled, "I love hockey, I want to be a professional hockey player when I grow up but I dad says I can't be." Sam told her.

"Why not?" She asked curiously.

"He wants me to become a soldier in the army like he is and like my Grandfather is. Your father probably wants your brothers to go into the army too."

"No!" Jules quickly said, "My Daddy says we can be whatever we want to be, I'm going to be the first female police officer!"

"I want to shoot bad guys with guns." Sam told her.

"Isn't that what they do in the army?" Sam asked him.

"Yea, but police officers shoot bad guys too, if my dad won't let me be a hockey player and I won't join the army the becoming a police officer is a good choice."

"We should work together!" Jules said excitedly.

"Yeah, we should." Sam agreed.

Later that night Jules was colouring in the living room still thinking about what Sam had said early. "Hey princess," Jack Callaghan said casually as he walked into the living room he had just gotten home and Jules hadn't come running to the door to greet him like she usually did.

"Daddy!" Jules yelled excitedly as she ran up and jumped in his arms, "Daddy are you going to make Donnie, Aiden, Cory and Mattie join the army?" She asked.

"No, Jules of course not why would you think that?" Jack Callaghan asked his daughter as he sat down on the couch with her on his knee.

"Because Sam said that his Daddy is going to make him join the army when he's older!"

"Who's Sam?"

"Sam Braddock he moved in today!" Jules told him, "He's really nice but he can't do a lot because he broke his arm when he fell off his bike."

"Tell him I said I hope his arm heals soon, now go wash up for diner."

"Ok," Jules agreed as she ran towards the downstairs washroom.

"Jules,"

A week had passed since Jules and Sam had met and they had been spending everyday together hanging out. "Hey Sam!" Jules ran up to her friend excitedly as she saw him sitting on his front yard but her smile faded when she saw his fat lip, bloody nose and black eye." Sam what happened?" She quickly asked.

"I fell." Sam quickly lied.

"Do your parents know?" She asked him, as she tried to help him stand up, "You should go to the doctor's office."

"My parents know Jules, just leave it alone." Sam told her slightly annoyed as his father walked out the front door and straight towards him, "Jules go away!" He yelled not wanting her to get hurt.

"No," Jules said, "I want to make sure your father knows to fell."

"Samuel, go back inside!" Richard Braddock barked an order at his son.

"Yes, sir," Sam said as he tightly grabbed onto Jules hand and ran as fast as he could inside his house.

"You need ice, one time I hurt my knee and my Daddy put ice on it."

"Jules I don't need ice I just need to make sure my Mom's ok." Sam told her as he walked up the stairs.

"Did your Mommy fall too?" Jules questioned.

"Yeah she falls a lot when my fathers home."

"Why?"

"She just does ok." Sam told her starting to get a little annoyed, "Maybe you should go home. If everything's ok tomorrow I'll call you."

"Ok, I hope everything's ok tomorrow." Jules told him as she turned around and walked down the stairs and out the door.

"Hey Jules where's Sam?" Donald asked his younger sister as she walked into the living room and sat down beside him on the couch.

"He's back at his house he said he fell his face was really bloody like on Halloween and then his Daddy told us to go inside and Sam went upstairs and said his mother fell too and then he told me to come home." Jules told him. "He said he'd call me tomorrow if everything was better."

"Jules," Donald began slowly, "I think we should go tell this to Dad."

"Why? Sam and his Mommy just fell that's all that happened right?"

"Jules, there are some things you'll learn when you're older." Donald told her as he picked up the phone and called his father.

"What will I learn when I'm older." Jules asked him as she put his finger to his lips and pointed to the stairs that led to the second floor of the house.

"I don't want to leave!" Jules stomped her foot on the ground as Donald pointed his finger to the stairs again and Jules ran towards them.

"Jack Callaghan."

"Dad, its Donald, I think Jules friend Sam isn't safe with his father home.

"Donald, Richard Braddock is a respected soldier and a good friend of mine what evidence do you have of your accusation.

"Jules went over to Sam's house like she always does but she came home saying he had a black eye, bloody nose and a fat lip and his face was covered in blood then she said his father ordered them inside and Sam went upstairs and said that his mother had also fallen. He has a broken arm Dad that he claims he got when he fell off his bike. I don't think he did I think his father's abusing him and his mother and I think we need to do something about it.

"Calm down son. I'll look into this first thing I need you to do though is bring Jules to my office and then I'll take her to the MP's."

"I can take her to the MP's." Donald told her father.

"Thank you Donald but I think it's best if I take her, all I want to do you is bring her down to my office.

"Ok Dad, I can do that." Donald told hi father as he hung the phone, "Jules we're going to see Dad!" He yelled as he walked towards the stairs to see Jules curled up in a small ball sobbing, "Jules I told you to leave, did you hear all of that?"

"I-I-I-" Jules stammered as Donald pulled her into a tight hug.

"Sam and his mother will be ok Jules we're helping them so they're be ok."

"Why-why-? She tried to ask.

"I don't know why Sam's father hits him and his mother Jules." Donald told her truthfully as he gently picked her up and carried her down the stairs," Do you want a piggy back ride to Dad's office?" He asked her as he set her gently on the ground.

"Yes," Jules managed to say through her tears as she climbed onto Donald's back.

It took them almost twenty minutes to reach their fathers office but when they did Jules jumped off of her brothers back and ran up to her father, "Daddy!" She yelled as she ran into her arms, "Daddy Sam's really hurt." She cried.

"She heard the conversation." Donald whispered as Jack nodded his head.

"Thank you for bringing Jules here Donald." Jack thanked his oldest son.

"No problem." Donald said as he left his father's office.

"Jules, this is Agent Canning and Agent Black, I want you to tell them everything you told Donald do you think you could do that for me?" Jack asked his daughter as she calmed down a little.

"Ok "Jules nodded her head as she began telling Agent Canning and Agent Black everything that she had told her brother.

After Jules had finished telling the military agents what had happened she was in tears again, "Thank you for being brave and telling us that." Agent Canning told her smiling.

"Your welcome, are you going to stop Sam's Daddy from hurting him?" She asked.

"We're going to do are best." He told her.

Sam's father had been under investigation for almost a month and Sam had been staying at Jules house most nights one night in the middle of August Sam and Jules were watching TV and a question he had been wondering for a long time popped back into his head, "Jules I told you about my father, do you think you could tell me about your mother?"

Jules looked at him, "She died," Was he simple answer, "I don't know how my Daddy says I'm too young to know but her name was Julianna too that's why everybody calls me Jules."

"My Mom told me that after the investigation is done we might move again. I told her I didn't want to go but just in case we do we need to both become police officers so well work together someday."

Jules nodded her head, "Ok Sam, I promise to become a police officer."
