Thankyou eveyone for the great reviews. Hope you enjoy this next chapter.
Captain Charles James life has changed dramatically over the last two years firstly a divorce, rediscovering his heart, falling in love, losing one of his men, receiving almost life changing injuries, marrying a remarkable woman and finally he was due to become a father for a second time. Lady luck was definitely smiling down, it could have been so different.
"Charles are you okay?, you look miles away" he looks up to his beautiful wife "Yeah Molls life at the moment is almost perfect" he pulls Molly onto his lap, kisses her on the lips and then her tummy."almost, what do you mean?" a grin spreads across his face" I mean, I've got to leave you and the bump for six months. It breaks my heart, I may miss another one of my children's birth. I feel so anxious and I need to be with you" Molly runs her fingers through his hair. He needs reassurance "Listen hear, I love you and this baby more than life itself. As soon as labour starts I will be yellling for you .You're arse will be on next flight home. We knew this might happen its shit, but thats the army for you. We are safe, I'm stronger than I look. We both signed up for this, its part of us both, If it was up to me I would be by your side." "Ditto Molls". He whispers in ear and breaths in her scent.
"Molly you always know what to say, I'm feeling nervous about this tour, you know what happened last time".
"Charles this is not Afghan, your ready the platoons ready. I trust those lads to look after each other an you. I trust them with my life therefore you should. Charles you have trained them yourself, you know them inside out. You will be great you're the best Captain you've got me here, waiting out".
"Molls, I know, I will miss you and you're smart mouth and I've got no one to ogle this time"
"Ogle you cheeky git, I thought you didn't get involved. Anyway we'll have to relay on skype. I'm a little larger this time so there's more to see". Charles laughs " I dont mind Molls, more to ogle I'm a lucky man"."Yeah you are Boss man".
"Molls get up, my arse is going numb" he starts to giggle " Watch it Boss,"
Molly's in the kitchen preparing dinner. She feels an arm wrapping itself around her waist enveloping her with his love. "Hello Mrs James, dinner smells nice," "Thanks bossman, ten minutes okay".
Over Mollys home made lasagne Charles and Molly start to dicuss Charles new replacements "Have you met Georgia Lane Molls?" Molly puts down her fork " Yeah I have, she's really good, not as good as me," Charles smirks " Didn't think she would be" "I think she's a good replacement. Watch the lads though, shes very pretty, but tough. Two tours toughen you up. I'd trust her," Charles reaches out to Molly "I trust your judgement Molly,hopefully with this one I wont be as harsh with" " Oh you mean not threatening to chuck her off the plane, make nasty remarks about stags, stilettos and being scared by the sight of blood.I think you were like that because you fancied me sommate rotten" Charles pulls a face "Think I make you right, I got the girl in the end." This cheers up Molly. Charles continues " Private Wright looks good, up for promotion. Experienced in the field. Another good replacement." Charles looks sombre, hes thinking about Smurf and Molly picks up on this." Sounds good, look soldiers leave it's part and parcel of the army. I know uve only got a month left of training. Like you said he's experienced , the lads will take to him. He'll be okay." "I know Molls, the platoon will be great, I believe in each and everyone of them. " tears form in Mollys eyes "The lads believe in you as well, dont you dare doubt yourself, look how far you have come" " I know Molls take no notice of me, last minute jitters, its just the last tour turned to fucking shit, the only good thing to come out of it was me and you".
Charles and Molly are relaxing in the living room cuddling on the sofa "How was work today dear?" Molly questions"Very funny Corpral James, it was fine thankyou. I didn't do much, I'm just preparing for this tour. The new replacements look good. They should be here Monday. The platoon is back Monday so that gives me four weeks to kick arse and improve fitness."
"You slave driver, I'm so glad your not running me ragged, saying that dont think I could manage at the minute. I definitely don't miss you're shouting. At least I get to shout back" "Watch it Dawsey, you might find your self on a charge".Molly scowls "Is that a promise Sir, if that happens I may have to remove your privileges " Molly watches the changing expression across his face "Dont think so Dawsey,dont think you would be able to cope with that do you ?" .
Charles begins to kiss Molly on her neck, she arches her back "Molls I love you so much". He starts to touch her breasts teasing her with his fingers . His hands begin to travel down her body " Charles can we continue this in bed, this sofa is so uncomfortable." Charles lifts Molly off the sofa and carries her upstairs.
Thanks again for reading. I'm planning the next couple of chapters. It should take me a few days to upload.
