A/N: I came up with this story from listening to the song If Your Reading This I'm Already Home by Tim McGraw. Please listen to it.
August 26, 1939
Edward sighed, "That was a good dinner Bella. Thank you" He leaned back in his chair holding his stomach, the sign telling Bella that he was full.
Bella smiled, "Thank you Edward. I'm so glad you love every one of my meals"
After Bella cleaned up the table she sat on Edward's lap and looked him in the eyes, "I love you so much" And kissed him
"I love you too Bella" Edward wrapped his arms around his wife and kissed her. They sat there listening to the radio together.
August 28, 1939
After Edward got back from working in the fields he came in and gave Bella a big hug and kiss.
"What's that for?" Bella asked
"I love you Bella forever and ever" Edward said and started kissing her neck, "One of the boys that work with me in the fields, his wife died from some kind of sickness"
Bella's face fell, "Oh Edward, I'm so sorry"
"It's ok. I'm just so glad that your healthy and here alive with me" Edward picked up Bella and carried her to their bedroom shutting the door behind him
August 31, 1939
It was 7:00AM when Edward had to get up and get in his work clothes for the fields. He ate his bread and drank some water
"Thank you again Bella" Edward got up and kissed Bella on the head then headed off for work
Bella once again cleaned off the dinner table as she usually did. The radio was on and there was something going on about the Japanese, which Bella paid much attention to. So she sat next to the radio and turned it up
"Japanese have bombed Pearl Harbor! The Japanese have bombed Pearl Harbor!"
It kept repeating. Bella was scared, there was no way of getting ahold of Edward, she had to wait until he got back.
Around 9:30PM Edward returned home giving Bella a kiss.
"Edward! Did you hear about Pearl Harbor!?" Bella yelled. She didn't give Edward a chance to reply, "The Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor! They did Edward! Now their saying that a war is going to happen soon" Bella sat down next to Edward
"Shhh, it's going to be OK Bella. Trust me, we'll be fine" Edward said putting his arm around Bella.
September 1, 1939
Bella turned on the radio again. This time they were talking about something about a war
"The war has begun! Men be ready to go into war! The war has begun!"
Edward walked in, "Bella..."
Bella ran into his arms. She didn't want Edward to go out into the war
"You can't leave Edward! You can't! Not now, not when we have a family" Bella started to cry
"A family? It's only you and I" Edward seemed confused
"Yes I know...But I'm pregnant! Edward I am!" Bella smiled a little
Edward got up and hugged Bella picking her up off the ground, "Really!? Wow, this is so great! This is wonderful! This is out of this world! I'm speechless! I'm excited! I'm--"
"Ok Edward I get it" Bella laughed and kissed him
A knock at the door interuped their kiss
"I'll go get it. Stay here" Edward said as he walked to the door
"Edward Cullen?" A man in uniform asked
"Yes?"
The man handed him a letter, "You have exactly 1 week. To get yourself ready. Be at the War Department at 6:15AM" Then walked away, across the street to the next house, although Edward had a feeling who he was
"Who was that?" Bella asked still sitting
Edward didn't reply. He sat on the chair across form Bella
"You are to be reported to the War Department on the date of September 7, 1939 to fight for your country at exactly 6:15AM for the war againest Japan. Do not be late, the others will leave without you and you will be put in prision for not attending this duty. In 1 week you will be a soldier." Edward read outloud
Bella covered her mouth and started crying, pouring out tears. Edward came over and sat next to her, "Bella, it's going to be fine. I'm going to be OK and I'll be back to see the birth of this child"
Bella swung her arm around Edward and cried in his neck. What else could go wrong?
"I don't want to lose you Edward. We were having such a great life!" Bella cried more
"Bella, I promise I will write to you every single week. I swear I will" Edward said still holding Bella in his arms.
September 7, 1939
Edward dressed in his clothes, packed a small bag with pictures of Bella and a notebook and pencil to write to Bella.
Edward kissed Bella one last time. They said their goodbyes and Edward was off.
He arrived at the War Department and signed in. They told him to go into tent F4. That was his fellow soldiers he would be living with until the war ended...or until Edward died.
Edward walked into tent F4 and set his things down. Someone started taking them away
"HEY! Those are my things!" Edward ran after the man
"I know that sir. But you won't be needing these things where your going. I'm sorry. Please follow me to get your uniform"
"That's fine! But can I at least have the picture of my wife?" Edward asked
"Of course sir. Keep it in the inside pocket" The man handed him the picture"
The man led him into another part of the tent where at least 50 other soldiers where getting dressed. The man handed Edward a uniform and told him to go change anywhere
Edward stood where he was and changed quickly
"I'm Red" A guy held out his hand
"Edward"
They shook hands
"Edward, I have a feeling we're going to be good friends" Red smiled and put on his hat and boots
After changing and getting a gun all the new soldiers loaded up on the war truck and was off
The general was yelling over the bombing, shooting, yelling, and more of the war telling us to watch our backs, be on look out all the time, and if we see a man dead...do not stop and try to help him or be on your knees crying over him because he died fighting and he did his deed, we can't help him anyways...He was right
After about 15 minutes later the truck stopped and everybody loaded weren't near the war anymore, Edward was confused
"Hey! I thought we were going to fight!" One guy yelled
"Shut up! You can't just go out and fight, you'll die the first 4 seconds! You have to go through training you idiot" A commander yelled
Edward knew he couldn't say a word to anybody unless told to. So he just stood there.
"Welcome gentlemen! You are now an offical soldier in training. Soon you will be out there fighting for your own life" He pointed south of where the camp was, "You do everything I say, when I say and how I say it! You will not back talk me! Get through this training and you can leave!" The commander yelled again
"God help me" Is all Edward could think
