{Hello, Hello, Hello my lovelies! Happy 2018! Here's the next chapter! I'm so sorry it took longer than I expected (at least it's still in the month), my school had 2 snow days and that never happens in Texas so we were really behind schedule! Enjoy! Also, there is a bit of smut/ NSFW (Not safe for work) material at the end, including vague nudity and suggestive content. NOTHING TOO CRAZY!! Like I said before, it stops before things get too serious. And ITS OKAY!!! THEY ARE MARRIED!!! I will place another warning beforehand, so all you ten year olds who probably shouldn't be reading this will stay away! Anyways, ENJOY!}
Chapter Eleven- They are asking me to leave!
(Peggy POV)
(A few weeks later)
As soon as the letter arrived, I immediately said no. Now that John was completely healed, the Continental Army was asking him back.
"No way John! You can't go back! Please don't! You can't leave me alone again!" I pleaded.
" But they need me Peg! What if this is the difference between our freedom and losing the war! I want to make a good future for us and maybe even a family one day! Don't you want our future children to grow up in a free nation?" John asked, I nodded sadly.
" I just can't shake the feeling that you might leave and not get lucky this time, not come back this time. That y-you might- you might-." I broke down. I hated showing weakness, but I couldn't handle it. I buried my face in his chest and began to sob uncontrollably.
John wrapped his strong arms around me and held me tightly. I knew John wouldn't give in. He was too determined.
"I'll leave tomorrow, so please stop crying so we can enjoy our last day together... last day together until I get back, that is."
I sniffed, quickly wiping my tears. "O-okay. Alfred?"
"Yes Mrs. Laurens?" Alfred had taken to calling me by my married name since John was around.
"Would you fetch us some ink, paper, and a quill please?
"Certainly."
"We can send them a letter a day in advance to warn them of your arrival." I took the quill and scribbled a small note to Alexander:
Dearest Brother-in-Law,
I am pleased to inform you that John has recovered nicely from his wound, and if you don't already know, he has been asked to return to the War front. I write to you today to tell you in hopes that you may pass this message to whom you deem necessary. John will start his Journey back to the front tomorrow, so he should arrive around a day after you receive this letter.
My Loving Regards,
Mrs. Peggy Laurens
"There." I said, sealing the envelope and handing it to Alfred. "Now they'll know you're coming, even if it is only a day ahead."
I wanted to pout or mope, still hoping I would get my way, but I knew John wouldn't budge. The best option was to put on a happy face and enjoy the day with John, there would be plenty of empty hours to be sad after John left. So that was exactly what I did. John and I had a very nice picnic lunch in the park by the pond, under the warm sun. Turn took me into town and bought me a nice new dress and some new earrings. I then proceeded to wear that dress and those earrings when John took me out to dinner at the nicest restaurant in town. The food was delicious and John and I even ordered a peach cobbler for dessert. Definitely one of our best days together. But I had a feeling it was only beginning.

{WARNING MINOR NSFW AHEAD, this is the first of 2 small parts. To all you ten year olds: YOU ARENT MY CHILDREN, I CANT CONTROL WHAT YOU DO, JUST READ WITH CAUTION. I don't think it's really that bad! Okay back to the story!!!}
(Peggy POV)
I sat in a chair that had been moved from the dining room to the master bathroom, in front of the mirror, quietly humming to myself as John gently combed the tangles out of my hair with his fingers.
{GOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLSSSSSS!!!}
Once he finished, I hopped up from the chair and walked behind the changing curtain, stripping off my clothes and turning on the bath faucet, which began to fill the tub with water and bubbles.
"Okay, I'll take first bath and you can go after me." I said to John on the other side of the curtain.
"Awwww we're just wasting tiiiiiiimmmmmeee!"
"Well we both need them!" I said with a chuckle.
"Oh! I know! We'll save time and go together!"
I sighed, chuckling slightly. " Alright, if it'll get you to bathe!" With that, I reached to the other side of the curtain and grabbed John by the shirt collar, pulling him behind the curtain and slamming it shut behind her.
