There was a scream that resonated loudly from the small cottage along the hills of the valley, the sound caused the young rebel soldier whom was walking home to run. Fearing for his wife and family that rested in that house.

Running inside he looked around frantically to find that the doctor had been summoned and his dearests midwife was running hot water.

His eyes widened when his mother and father came towards him with smiles on their faces, his was face was etched in worry but he knew what their smiles meant. And the resonating scream had his head turning quickly toward the bedroom of his small home. Where his wife was surely laid out on the bed giving birth.

"Go to her, she needs her husband." His mother spoke softly as she touched his arm, a proud smile on her face as she looked upon her boy, now a man.

Giving his mother a kiss to her cheek he shed his coat and handed his gun to his father who would put it away for him. Without another glance at his parents he headed straight for his quarters to tend to his wife.

When he walked in he was struck still as he watched his beautiful wife cry out in pain as she held onto her midwifes hand for dear life. The doctor sat perched at the end of the bed where her legs were propped up and covered by the cloth. There was blood, and it scared the soldier immensely as he watched his beautiful wife grit her teeth as tears streamed down her beautiful cheeks.

"Do not fret my dear, it will not be much longer." The doctor soothed as Mary-Ann wiped the young wife's forehead with the wet cloth.

"Where is he?" She looked up at her midwife with scared eyes as she shook violently.

With her weakened and scared plea the young soldier moved into the room, removing his head covering and setting it on the small dresser.

"I'm right here love." He whispered soothingly as he made his way to her bedside.

Her piercing brown eyes met his soft blue ones and a small smile graced her perfect red lips. He took his place beside her on their small bed and took both of her small clammy hands in his and kissed them lovingly.

"Our boy is on his way." She gasped slightly as she tried to grit through the pain, holding onto his hands like a vice as a contraction surged through her.

"It could be a beautiful little girl you know?" he suggested with a smirk as he leaned in to kiss her soft lips once quickly. When he pulled away she was smiling brightly, he loved her smile.

"How much longer?" She asked the doctor as she laid back on the pillows once the contraction eased. It was still painful, but it was bearable now that her husband was by her side.

"In just a few moments you will be ready to push my dear, until then just try to relax and breathe."

The young couple let out a collective sigh as the doctor turned away to speak to the midwife. The soldier looked down at his beautiful wife to see her looking back up at him with such love and adoration.

"What?" he asked with a soft smile as he caressed her face, pushing her brown locks away from her beautiful face. She was sweating like mad, he could never begin imagine the pain she was feeling at this moment.

"I love you." She whispered passionately, causing him to smile brightly then lean in to kiss her soundly on the lips. Something he had not been able to do for months.

"As I love you my darling." He whispered as he rested his forehead against her damp and sticky one.

He stayed by her side for the next hour as she gave birth to their child, squeezing her hand, whispering sweet words, and helping her breath as she brought their baby boy into the world.

"It's a boy!" The doctor yelled so that all in the house could hear him, the young couple cried and laughed in excitement as they watched the doctor clean off their baby boy before handing him to his smiling mother.

"Hello baby, I am your mother." She cried happily as she smiled down at her little boy. Her husband sat beside her on their bed, his arm around her shoulders and his lips in her hair as he looked down at his son.

"And I am your father." He whispered as their child opened his eyes for the first time to reveal his beautiful brown eyes that matched his mothers.

"He is perfect." His beautiful wife whispered as she caressed his soft little head gently. The baby did not cry, he was quiet as he looked around curiously.

"Alright dear, the doctor is not finished just yet. Let me have the little dear so he way get cleaned up properly, you need your rest anyhow." Mary-Ann took the child from his mother's arms gently, letting her and the father kiss his head before she stole him away to the wash room to clean him up properly.

She laid back and looked up at her husband, waiting for the doctor to finish up as her love stroked her face lovingly. Finally the young wife was able to lay back on the pillows, her legs stretched out which gave her back a soothing break.

"You were amazing my wife."

"I would not have been able to do it without you my husband. Thank you." He shushed her softly as he dabbed her forehead with a cold cloth.

"No need to thank me, it is all out of love." He soothed her softly as they laid back on the bed together, finally alone, and finally able to relax.

"What shall we name him?" She asked softly as she looked up at her love, her everything.

He looked down at her to meet her eyes, she laid perfectly in his arms, and she was so warm against his body. He had missed her so much.

"What do you wish him to be named my love?" He would name his child anything she wanted, he wanted nothing more than to please his wife.

"I want us to choose together my love, I know you will go with what I choose. But I wish us to do this together, just as we made our child together and just as we brought him into this world together. He is a part of us, I wish his name to be the same."

Her words were sincere as they looked into one another's eyes, love, compassion, longing, and understanding reflected back at them from both ends.

"Alright, you give me your two favorite names, and I shall give you mine as well. How does that sound beautiful?" she smiled brightly up at him, the couple did not notice his parents standing just outside their bedroom door. The older couple watched with such pride as their son and daughter in law laid beside one another, contemplating the name for their first born. Their grandson.

"Fair. Alright…I quite enjoy the name Joshua Adam." He smiled, Joshua was his middle name. At that moment he knew that no matter what they would choose between the two of them, one of the names would be from him.

"I like that one, how about Isaiah Christopher?" he asked while caressing the side of her face. She scrunched her nose in distaste, causing him to laugh softly at her reaction. He had to admit, it wasn't his best.

"Okay not that one. Tell me your last one then." She pursed her lips slightly, trying to remember which she liked best when suddenly she remembered the name.

"Benjamin?" she asked she played with his hand that laid in her lap.

"Benjamin what?" he asked with a quirked brow as he looked down at her. She was falling asleep on him, she needed her rest so he did not shake her.

"Mm, Jo-yawn-sssshhh." Before she could finish her sentence coherently she was asleep in her husband's arm.

He kissed the top of her head lovingly and snuggled up close to her as his parents watched them lovingly.

"Joshua Adam it is my love." He whispered as he held her close, letting her rest as she deserved it after the day she just had.

3 weeks later

She was standing at the sink, washing dishes after a beautiful lunch as her family sat on the porch resting after such a hearty meal. Her baby boy was now a few weeks old and the apple of her eye.

"Why not leave these for Maria and come join your husband on the porch?" her husband inquired as he came up behind her and wrapped his arms around her slender waist. If he was being honest he missed the days of nursing, motherhood looked good on his wife.

"You had better halt that train of thinking my love, we are not having another for a while." She chastised as she looked at him over her shoulder, a saucy look in those deep brown eyes.

"As long as we do have more, I can wait forever." He vowed as he landed a kiss to her lips soundly. Making her heart flutter and her knees buckle, he caught her easily and turned her around so that she was facing him.

She grabbed onto his white chemise for dear life as he laid his body against hers softly, holding her tightly against his body. Her husband of three years still made her heart flutter and her body quake with want and need.

He took her face gently between his big hands as she held onto his shirt for dear life, her eyes burned into his making him fall in love with her all over again.

"Do you remember our wedding day?" he whispered softly as he kissed her forehead gently.

"How could I forget?" she asked as he kissed down the right side of her face slowly.

"It was beautiful was it not? I was more than thrilled when I was finally able to make you mine, I thought I was never going to get out of the courtship stage. I thought for sure that your father hated me."

This caused her to laugh, he was being silly. She knew for a fact that her father was head over heels for her husband. He made her happy and that was all her father wanted for her. Happiness and love.

"He likes you more than you know, he just enjoyed making you wait." She assured him as he continued his assault on her. Finally making his way to her neck where she gasped at the contact, that was her weakness and he knew it.

"And wait I did. There is nothing more thrilling than holding my wife in my arms. Sleeping next to you every night, waking up to you every morning. Once it was the only thing that I had dreamed of, and it is finally reality." He muttered against her neck as he assaulted her neck with his hot lips.

"Forever." She vowed truthfully as he looked up at her, their eyes colliding just as they did that first day they met all those years ago.

There is not a pair greater than this that loves one another more than anything. They were meant to be together, and be together they would.

But not in the way they thought.


Song for fanfiction- Red Love by Pia Mia

So I couldn't sleep and this story just came to me out of nowhere and I just had to share it. It's going to be a cute little story, and it is not going to be very long. There is going to be a lot of heartbreak, but there will also be a lot of love. This is for mature audiences as there will be not only mature adult scenes but there will also be some very gorey scenes as well. I hope you all enjoy this story I will try to update it as much as possible. This is only the prologue but it sets the whole precedent of the story, the next chapter will start with, hopefully, a flash back of when the young couple first met.
