Haley bopped on her feet once more as she waited for her son as him and everyone else who was returning home sang the national anthem. She tried to spot him in the crowd but was too short.
She felt her husband, retired army sergeant Nathan Scott, wrap his arm around her waist and pull her closer to him. "This is what you used to feel like waiting for me?" He questioned quietly.
"Yeah, nerve wracking but exciting isn't it?" She smiled.
"Yeah, it felt the same on the other side except for the need to be touched and hugged by your love ones. It's so strong." Nathan said as the national anthem finished and the soldiers were dismissed.
Haley searched for her son but still couldn't' see him, but she did see Nathan raise his hadn to signal Jamie as he saw him. Haley braced herself and soon saw her son, in all his military get up, fighting through the crowd. "Mom, Dad!" He said as Haley instantly pulled him into a hug, Nathan joined them on the other side. "We missed you. We are so glad to have you home."
"I'm so glad to be home." He said as his parents let go of him.
"Let's get out of here, Karen is throwing a party for you."
"Wait one second there is someone I want you to meet." Jamie said as he glanced to the side and nodded as a short brunette walked over. "Mom, Dad, this is Camille, my girlfriend."
"So nice to meet you." Haley smiled wide hugging the young girl before sharing a giddy look with her husband.
