After Nina told him that he doesn't have to be brave for her, he told her about his PTSD. Join this married couple through struggles and nightmares, but can still hold their love for each other, just as if they were just married.
~Fabians' POV~
"What?" I asked her. She nodded; more tears coming out of her eyes.
"I'm sorry." She said.
"No, no, Nina, no." I said, pulling her close to me, letting her cry into my chest.
"I hate to bring this back up Fabian, but I think you need to get counceling now. What if, in a year when the baby's here, you drop him or her because you have a flashback? Fabian we can't have that." She said. I nodded, still uncertain, but left her going online to start to look up stuff about counceling.
*5 Months Later*
"Okay, Mrs. Rutter, I'm going to put this jelly on your stomach, and then we can see the baby." Dr. Smith said, starting to put the jelly on Nina. I smiled, holding her hand, and carefully putting her hand to my lips. She looked up at me; smiling. I was starting to get better thanks to the counceling, but I was still having flashbacks. Last night, I woke up screaming because I saw my friend die in the explosion again. Nina calmed me down, but I could tell that she was concerned that I was even going to to counceling.
"Do you want to know the gender now?" Dr. Smith asked. I looked at Nina and she asked if they could write it down and put it in an envelope and seal it. Dr. Smith nodded, and did just that. She wiped the jelly off Nina, and we got up and left.
