I'm Coming Home
~EDITED~
Summary: Ally and Mackenzie have lived together for 4 years ever since their husbands became friends in boot camp. Austin and Matthew are in Iraq fighting for their country. The two women each have a child to take care of and things are getting a lot harder without Austin and Matthew there to help. Could the day they get the best news of their life also include getting the worst?
A/N; so here is my new story. There are two characters that aren't from Austin and Ally, Mackenzie and Matthew. Please R&R and I will love you forever!
Chapter 1: Waiting Forever and 5 Days
Ally and Mackenzie sat on their couch watching the morning news like they always do. Mackenzie was in her bright turquoise workout shirt and mid-thigh yoga pants ready to go running after the news. She had her raven black hair in a perfect bun. Ally on the other hand still wore her pajamas and had her unbrushed hair in a messy bun in top of her head, sipping her morning coffee warily. She perked up when she heard something very interesting on the news. "The President has decided to bring home 100 soldiers home from Iraq and Afghanistan. The people who will be brought back have not yet been decided. The names will be released in 5 days." The announcer said and the TV went to commercial. The girls both looked at each other eagerly, their husbands might finally be coming home. After two years of raising their children alone, they were so ready to have a break.
"I'm going on my run, are you good?" Mackenzie asked.
"I'm fine every other day, why wouldn't I be today?" She asked. Mackenzie shrugged and walked out the door. Ally walked into the shared bedroom of Alana and Maddie, their daughters. Alana was Ally's daughter and Maddie was Mackenzie's. Alana had platinum blonde hair like Austin but Ally thought it would later darken out like hers. Maddie on the other hand had raven black hair just like her mothers and her father's handsome facial features. She had to admit that they each had beautiful baby girls.
Their babies were both two. They were born right before Austin and Matthew left for Iraq. They have never known their dads and that's what made Ally so devastated about their husbands being in the military. She loves that Austin wanted to serve his country but she doesn't love that his daughter doesn't even know him! Ally walked into her room and got out some sweatpants and a hoodie to wear. She brushed her hair and put it back into a bun and started breakfast for everyone. After she had finished making pancakes, Alana's favorite, she went and turned on the news again and waited for the girls to wake up.
Twenty minutes later everyone was sitting at the table, eating pancakes and talking. "How was your run mommy?" Maddie asked Mackenzie.
"It was good baby girl." She replied. Everything went quiet except the clanking of forks on plates. The silence was a comfortable one. Alana collected the breakfast plates and walked them over to the counter, stepped onto the stool they keep in the kitchen, and dropped the plates into the sink.
"Hey girls let's go get dressed." Mackenzie said and took the girls into their room to get them dressed. Ten minutes later the girls came out in their outfits. Alana had on a pink dress with purple flowers and Maddie had a purple dress with pink flowers.
"Don't you two look beautiful!" Ally exclaimed. "It's time to get you to girlies to daycare." Ally ushered the girls out to the car and drove them to the daycare down the street. When Ally got back Mack was in the shower so she walked into her room and picked out her clothes. She picked a loose fitting white blouse and a black pencil skirt. She changed her clothes and did her hair and makeup
"I am going to work." Ally told Mackenzie.
"Okay I will pick the girls up from daycare when I get off, okay?" She replied.
"Sounds good." Ally told Mackenzie.
Ally's POV
*5 Days Later*
Mack and I were doing our morning routine of watching the news and the story that we were eagerly awaiting was about our husbands coming home! "The one hundred people coming home from Iraq are Marques Ackerson…." I tuned it out until they got to the Ms. we are Moons and Owens. "Austin Moon, Matthew Owens…" Mackie and I looked at each other and burst into tears, they were coming home. "The men and women will arrive back on Sunday." The TV went to commercial.
"I cannot believe they are finally coming home!" Mackenzie exclaimed to me as jumped up and down.
"No Mackie, it has been forever and five days to be exact!" I said.
