As everyone could tell Randy was doing great in the Marines or at least that is what they thought. On the other end Randy was not obeying orders that he was given and he was constantly getting into trouble. The only thing that was on his mind was his pregnant girlfriend back at home. On top of everything else some of his Marine buddies were giving him hell about how sexy his girlfriend looked and how they would hit that if they had the chance. That just made matters worse for him because he was very overprotective of his girlfriend and their unborn child.

Riley was doing extremely well considering that she had a complete melt down four months ago about Randy being gone. Riley was close to having their son and all she could think about was if Randy was going to be able to be there when she gave birth to their son. Elaine and Bob have notice a big change in the way Riley had been carrying herself and they were extremely proud of her. Riley was wondering if she would ever get to talk to him before the day was up.

Back at the base Randy was deep into his own thoughts about what has been going on with his career as a Marine. He was thinking to himself how he could be back at home with Riley right now helping her plan for their son, but he knew that was going to be a bit harder than expected. Before he could get the chance to answer his own question he heard a knocking at the door. He got up and opened the door just to see that it was two if his SSgt. He knew that he was in some trouble now.

Private Orton.

Yes sir.

General Newton would like to have a word with you at 08 hundreds hours tomorrow.

Okay sir. Thank you.

As he was shutting the door he knew that this was going to be bad. He knew that he had made so many mistakes, but he was trying to improve or from what he thought he was trying. This is not going to be the best for me and my family. I just need to call Riley and talk to her because she always finds a away to make me feel better when something like this happens.

Ring, ring, ring

Hello!

Umm.. Mom!

Randall Keith is that you?

Yes ma'am mom. It's me.

Oh baby boy, how are you doing?

To tell you the truth mom I am a little home sick, but other than that I am doing the best that I can. (lying threw his teeth)

Well that is good sweetie.

Mom, is Riley there?

No sweetie Ted, Cody, John, Mickie, Kristen, and Bridget took her out for a little while since she really hasn't been anywhere.

Oh.

Baby is there something that I can help you with?

No, mom I just wanted to hear her voice that is all.

Oh baby boy!

Mom will you tell her that I called and when she gets the chance to call me back because I really do need to talk to her.

Yes sweetie. I sure will.

Okay. Thanks mom. I am sorry to cut this short, but I have to go for now.

Okay honey. I love you baby.

Love you too mom. Bye

Bye Randy.

As Elaine hung up the phone she just couldn't shake the feeling that something was up with Randy, but she didn't want to worry everyone else unless she had the prove. Meanwhile Riley was just hanging out with her friends when all of a sudden she was confronted by Sam and Jasmine.

Well, well, well look who we have here Jazzy.

I know Sammie. My Riley you have gained a lot of weight carrying a man's baby that doesn't even love you enough to stay here with you.

Shut the hell up Jasmine. You don't know what the hell you are talking about.

Oh really! Then why are you here by yourself when the rest of the gang have their boyfriends with them?

Jasmine, I swear if you don't leave me alone I will make your life a living hell after the baby is born.

Oh really Riley. You have always been the type to walk away from a fight.

Sam, why are you even here. I heard that you couldn't get Randy off even if you tried with all the might in the world.

That is so not true you little whore.

I know your not talking to my girl like that.

So what if I am Kristen. What are you going to do about it?

Kristen she is not worth it girl. Lets just go.

Okay Riley.

That is right you just walk away like you always do Riley.

Before Sam could agree with Jasmine Riley walked right back over to them took one good swing and Jasmine and knocked her on her big fat ass. While Kristen pushed Sam down to the ground. After that was done John, Ted, Cody, Mickie, and Bridget walked over and grabbed Riley and Kristen before anymore damage was done. Sam and Jasmine couldn't believe what just happened to them. Riley was so mad that she couldn't even take it anymore she just wanted to see Randy again, but she knew that was going to be the hardest thing that she could ever do since he wouldn't let her come and stay with him there. Riley finally decided that she wanted to go home and rest.

Right when she walked threw the front door Bob notice that her hand was red. He knew that she had punched someone right in the face. Before she could say a word Bob took her into the kitchen and put some nice on her hand. Riley was still pissed at what happened tonight, but she just didn't feel right.

Do you want to tell me what happened?

Umm.. Well Sam and Jasmine started talking a bunch of crap to me. I tried to walk away from them, but they just kept on and on about Randy leaving me. So Kristen walked up and said what she had to say, but we tried to walk off, but Jasmine said that I was scared that is why I always walk away from fights. So we both turned around walked right back over to them. Without another thought I punched Jasmine right in the face and Kristen pushed Sam down. That was when the rest of the gang came and got us away from them.

Well, it sounds like you girls had one hell of a fight.

Yes sir. But I just cant stand when they talk about Randy not loving me enough to stay here with me and the baby.

Oh Riley you know that is not true.

I know.

Just then Elaine walked into the kitchen and told Riley that Randy had called earlier. Riley couldn't believe that she would have missed another call from Randy, but everyone wanted her to get out of the house so she did. Elaine and Bob both saw the hurt in her eyes when they told her about Randy calling. That was when she told Riley that Randy wanted her to call him back when she got into the house. Riley looked at the time and decided that it was best to let Randy sleep since he was working his butt off.

The next morning Randy was up and dressed for his little meeting with the General. He walked into the office as the assistant told him to take a seat that General Newton would see him shortly. Randy done as he was told, but while he was sitting there he was thinking about why Riley didn't call him back last night when all of a sudden his phone was vibrating in his pocket. He took it out just to see that he had gotten a text message. He opened the phone just to see that it was from Riley.

Hey babe. Sorry I didn't call you last night , but I thought that it would be good if you had gotten your sleep since you are working. If you want you can call me when you get the chance because I am not going anywhere today not even to school. Just tired I guess! Don't worry the baby is fine and from what the doctor told me everything is going good and he should be here soon. Well got to go take a shower. Love you very much, Riley.

Randy smiled at the text and at least he knew that she was doing just fine. Right when he was about to send her a text back the assistant told him that General Newton was ready to see him. He got up, put his phone back and walked into General Newton's office.

Private Orton, please take a seat.

Thank you sir.

Do you know why you are here today Orton?

No sir, I do not know.

Well you are here today because we are discharging you for not obeying orders.

But sir.

No buts Orton. You know that we don't expect anything but the best in people that are serving the country.

Yes sir. I know this.

Then you understand why.

Yes sir.

With that being said you will have to be spending 38 days in a military prison.

Wait a minute sir. I have a baby on the way and my family needs me.

Well you should have thought about that Orton. Now get your things ready and call who you have to call because you will be shipped to the prison tonight. Is that understood.

Yes sir.

Randy couldn't believe what was happening. He knew that he was going to be missed the birth of his son and it was his own damn fault. He just didn't know how he was going to break to Riley. So he went back to his room and got everything packet then he took out his phone and called his family.

Hello!

Hey!

Randy, hey big brother. How are you doing?

Not so good Becky. Umm… could you put me on speaker phone because I have to tell the whole family something and they aren't going to like what I have to say.

Yes, sure big brother.

Randy can you hear us son?

Yes mom I can hear you. Is dad, Nathan , and Riley there.

Yes son we are here. Hey Randy don't worry I have been taking good care of Riley.

Thanks Nathan.

Hey sweetie.

Hey baby girl.

Okay Randy what do you have to tell us.

Well today I got discharged from the Marines for not obeying orders.

Son, I know this is what you wanted to do, but you knew what you were getting into and you cant blame anyone, but yourself.

Yes I know mom.

So when are you coming home?

Not for another 38 days.

Why 38 days if they discharged you today?

Because they are sending me to a prison for 38 days.

What?

Have they lost their minds. Do they know that you have a baby that is due anytime now.

Yes mom. They know, but they don't care about that.

OMG!!!! Why is this happening to me. I don't want to give birth by myself without the father there. I hate you for doing this Randy.

Oh Riley. Honey wait.

Mom you stay here Nathan and I will go after her.

Randy, son are you there.

Yes dad.

You do know that she has been threw hell and back dealing with the fact that you lefted in the first place.

Yes sir.

Why in the world would you do something like this?

Dad, I don't know. It just happened. I was so worried about her that I couldn't even think straight at times.

Randy she has been dealing with Sam and Jasmine the whole time, but she managed to keep her cool. Why couldn't you do the same?

I have tried dad, but when you have guys around here talking about how they would like to do your pregnant girlfriend if they ever got the chance it is kind of hard.

I understand that son, but you have to do your time.

I know dad, but do you think that she will ever forgive me.

Son I don't know, but I am sure within time she will.

Okay. Dad I have to go because they are here to take me away.

Okay son.

Tell everyone that I love them.

I will.

Before Randy could say good bye, Riley walked back into the living crying, but she had to talk to him.

Randy!

Baby girl.

I am sorry. It is just so hard.

I know, but think of it this way I will be there in 38 days. Just try to keep him in there for a little while longer.

I will try, but he is just like you.

Baby girl, I have to go.

Okay.

I love you Riley

Love you too Randy.

Bye baby girl.

Bye!

Right when Riley hung up the phone she just fell into Elaine's arms and started crying. Elaine knew how it felt when Bob wasn't coming home when he said he was while he was wrestling, but he never missed the birth of their children and she knew now that there was that chance that Randy was going to missed the birth of his own son. It was killing her to see Riley like this.

Private Orton. We are here to take you to the prison now.

I am ready to go.

As Randy walked out of the room he had three things in his hands a picture of his family, picture of Riley and him and a sonogram of their unborn son. At that point that was all he needed to get threw the next 38 days without any trouble.
