A/N: I AM SOOOO SORRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have been so busy that I have neglected this story, school and other stories have been taking up my time, and I need to get back into writing this one.

Disclaimer: I only own my OC's nothing else.


"What?!" Maddie exclaimed; she shot up out of her seat in outrage.

"Babe, I know it's a shock, but I have to."

"We just got our son back, and you know I can't take care of four kids ALONE! How the hell could this have happened?"

"Madds, settle down."

"I AM NOT GOING TO CALM DOWN! YOU ARE GOING BACK INTO THAT HELL HOLE!!"

"It'll only be for five months," Maddie blinked back tears before she could say anything.

"For five months, I'm not going to have a husband. For five months our son is going to ask me 'where's daddy?' For five months, I'll be taking care of Emily, Emma, Evangeline, and Kingston by myself."

"Honey, I'm shipping out in two days, let's make the most of it."

"I'm going to my parents house, and don't bother getting the kids." she said coldly before grabbing her coat and phone; she left the house and went to get the kids. When she went to go get Kingston, it scared him that she was there and not Andrew.

"Mommy where's daddy?" he asked once in her arms.

"Daddy couldn't make it, so mommy came and got you. Let's go get Eva, Emmy, and Emma." Maddie buckled Kingston in his car seat and they drove to go get the girls. After they got the girls Maddie drove out to that oh-so famliar house. Her parents' house; she saw both her parents cars in the drive way, and took out her iphone. She clicked the one that said mom and hit dial.

"Hey Madds," a familiar not her mom's voice answered.

"Mackenzie Christine, what are you doing with mom's phone?"

"Mom said I can answer it Madalyn Grace."

"Mack put mom on,"

"Okay," Mackenzie handed the phone to her mom.

"Madds, what do you need?"

"Can you, Mackenzie, and dad come out and help me?"

"Sure honey," Brennan replied motioning for Booth and Mackenzie to get ready. Kacen, Wyatt, and Samantha looked confused as their parents and sister walked outside. Maddie got out of her SUV and helped Kingston out.

"What are you doing here?"

"I just needed somewhere right now, is everything still in my old room?" Maddie asked getting Emily out of the car. Brennan grabbed Evangeline and Booth grabbed Emma. They walked into the house and Maddie went to get the diaper bag out of the car.

"Madds, what happened?"

"My husband is being shipped out," she chocked getting Emma out then the other two and putting them in the play-yard.

"Maddie, it'll work itself out." Booth tried to comfort his daughter.

"Yeah right," she said sarcastically picking up Kingston.

"Madalyn, it will," her mother insisted.

"No it won't. It feels like my marriage is over. I married too young."

"Madds, just get the kids put down and relax."

"I can't relax! My husband is going back to something!" Maddie cried. Kingston looked up at his mom and Maddie saw the flash of fear in his eyes.

"Kingston, there's nothing to be worried about, baby." she kissed the side of his head. She set him down and went to sit down on the couch and relax.


Later that night...

All of the kids were asleep and it was just Brennan, Booth, and Maddie up. Maddie looked through the old pictures, auburn curls, big blue eyes, and the tiny figure she had from day one. Her wedding day photos made her tear up; she did get married too young, but it was destiny.

"Maddie, it's late, go to bed." Brennan tried to coax.

"Mom, I'm fine. It was a stupid thing."

"Honey, you're gonna want to send him off with a smile." Booth reminded.

"My life is over. My husband's being shipped off to go knows where, and I have four kids."

"And we're here to help even though we have everyone. Maddie you are not alone."

"Mom, I can't talk to my husband,"

"Call him now Madalyn Grace," Booth ordered. Maddie pulled out her phone and dialed Andrew's number.

"Drew," he answered.

"Andrew," Maddie said

"Maddie, what the hell?"

"Drew, listen to me. I'm not happy that you are getting shipped out to god knows where, I just-just was upset. I thought we were done with the Corps."

"I know baby. You'll be fine. I'll come home and we'll be a big happy family."

"I love you," she chocked through tears.

"I love you too, baby. Give the kids a kiss for me and I'll see you soon." Maddie ended the call and leaned back and started crying. Her mother wrapped her in a hug and tried to comfort the twenty four year old.


Andrew being shipped out...

Maddie's parents had agreed to keep the kids while she went to say goodbye to her husband. She was in her favorite outfit; tight jeans, Marine Corps t-shirt, curls in a ponytail, and her tennis shoes.

"I don't want you to leave," she said with a lump in the back of her throat.

"I know baby, you'll be fine with the kids."

"Kingston keeps wonderin' why I'm crying. We've been through this so many times, I thought after the girls were born you wouldn't have to leave."

"Baby, I love you." Andrew said.

"I love you too," Maddie said in tears. He leaned down and gave her a kiss and brushed her tears away.

"Sergeant Andrew Jacobson," a gruff, gravely voice yelled. Maddie tightened her arms around his neck and gave him a kiss before letting him leave.

"I love you, Madds,"

"I love you too, Drew." Andrew kissed the top of her head and Maddie released her grip on him and walked back to her car. She drove to the one place she'll always remember; the place they got married. Maddie cut the engine and looked around at the hotel. She was eighteen when they finally tied the knot. She walked into the ballroom and where they shared their first dance as husband and wife was beautiful. She sighed and left to go back home. Go back to her kids and wait for the five months to be up...
