Thank you all for the amazing reviews! I hope you all like this chapter as well.
The next morning, everyone met at the airport. Artie, Puck, and Finn were dressed in their different military uniforms and had no idea where they'd be stationed, which scared the girls. They thought that the guys would be together to protect each other. As the guys waited for their plane to be called, they said their goodbyes.
"You better be safe over there, Noah Puckerman." Santana said with a smile as tears started falling down her cheeks.
"I will, baby. I love you." Puck said as he hugged Santana tightly.
"Daddy, do you still have the picture I drew you?" Rebecca asked as she hugged Puck.
"Of course, baby girl. I have it right here." Puck said with a smile as he brought out the picture of his pocket.
"I drew you another one too!" Rebecca said with a grin as she handed him another picture that she drew.
Puck unfolded the paper. It was a picture of Puck, Santana, and Rebecca. They were all smiling as they stood outside of what he assumed was their house. The sky was green and the grass was blue, which made Puck laugh.
"Thank you, babe." Puck said as he knelt down and hugged his daughter.
"I love you daddy!" Rebecca said as she squeezed him tightly.
"I love you too." He said with a smile as tears started falling too.
"Are you sure you'll be okay?" Finn asked as he held his wife.
"Yeah, it's just going to be hard with me pregnant now." Quinn said as she looked into Finn's eyes.
"Don't worry. Brittany and Santana will be here with you." Finn said with a smile as he kissed her on the forehead.
"I know, but it's not the same without my husband. You better write to me every chance you get." Quinn said with a smile as she buried her head into his chest.
"I will, don't worry. But you better write to me also!" Finn said with a laugh as he continued to hold her.
"You know I will." Quinn said with a grin.
"Artie, you look so cute in your Marine outfit." Brittany said as she took a step back and admired her husband.
Artie started to laugh as he turned around so Brittany could see it all.
"What can I say? I look sexy." Artie said as he held his son.
"Aw, you two look adorable!" Brittany said as she walked back over to Artie and hugged him.
The two fell silent for a few minutes, just holding each other, not wanting to let go. After a few minutes, Brittany started to cry.
"Baby, don't cry. I'll be back." Artie said, fighting back the urge to cry as well.
"It's not that. I'm just so happy for you! You're finally doing something that you wanted and it took me this long to realize it." Brittany said with a smile as she wiped away her tears.
"Aw, Brittany." Artie said as he kissed her.
"I love you." Brittany said with a smile.
"I love you too." Artie said, finally letting the tears flow out.
"Attention passangers. Flight # 598 to Baghdad is now boarding. I repeat flight #598 to Baghdad is now boarding." Someone said over the intercom.
"Well that's us." Finn said as he hugged Quinn one more time.
"Stay safe." She said as she let go.
Finn hugged Santana and Brittany and told them to watch over Quinn as he turned and waited for Puck and Artie, who were saying their goodbyes. Puck kissed Santana passionately before saying goodbye to his daughter, Quinn and Brittany. Artie kissed Brittany and held his son one last time, before saying goodbye to Quinn and Santana.
"Alright, here we go." Puck said as he walked in the middle of Finn and Artie as they made their way down the terminal and into the plane.
The three put their luggage in the cabinets and grabbed their seats. Their plane was full of soldiers and other military personnel. They recognized some of the soldiers from Basic Training as well. The media was flying in first class as well. The stewardess quickly made sure everyone was buckled up and the captain came on over the intercom.
"Good morning, everyone. You're flying Flight #598 to Baghdad. Before we take off, I'd like to say thank you for protecting our country. We will be hitting some turbulence over the Atlantic, but will smooth out. The flight will take about 14 hours or so, so sit back and relax. Thank you." The captain said.
The whole plane erupted with applause from the soldiers. The media videotaped them going crazy as the captain hung up the microphone for the intercom. Artie and Finn were talking and laughing as Puck went to sleep.
Puck 'woke up' sitting shotgun inside of a Humvee. There were five soldiers sitting in the vehicle with one soldier manning the turret. They were leading a convoy of 6 cars, with 2 transport trucks.
"This is a boring day." One of the soldiers said from behind him.
"Shut up dude. At least we're not getting shot out." Another one said.
"Both of you shut up. Always stay on guard." Puck said as he turned around.
"Yes sir, sorry sir." The first soldier said.
After a few minutes of driving, a loud explosion erupted from one of the cars behind them. Quickly stopping the car, Puck and his soldiers climbed out of the Humvee and secured the area.
"What was that?" One of the soldiers asked as he climbed out of one of the transport trucks.
"I don't know, but get down!" Puck yelled as he signaled him to take cover.
Several minutes passed. Everything was silent until the soldier manning the turret began opening fire on the hillside. Puck looked up and saw about 20 armed men lined up on the cliffs with RPGs and AK47's. Without hesitation, Puck and his men opened fire on the men. After a few minutes of firing at each other, one of the men launched an RPG at Puck's Humvee, exploding it and sending him flying 20 feet. Puck lay there motionless and unconscious as the rest of his men and vehicles were destroyed.
He 'woke up' bloodied and bruised inside of a room, surrounded by several Al-Qaeda. Puck tried to move, but his arms were chained to the bed he was laying on. One of the men pointed the barrel of the gun into his face, but quickly withdrew once another man came in. He was a fairly dark skinned man with a long grey and black beard. He wore a turban and sun glasses, although the room was mostly dark.
"Are you American?" The man asked.
Puck was shocked that he knew English.
"Yeah, I'm an American." Puck said as he glared at the man.
"Do you smoke?" The man asked as he took out two cigarettes.
Puck agreed and the man allowed the chains to come off. Puck sat up and started to smoke.
"So what do you want with me?" Puck asked.
"It's not what I want with you. It's what you want from me." The man said with a laugh.
"What do you mean?" Puck said as he looked at the man.
"Well, as of now, you're my hostage. I see you're a captain. Your government would pay a hefty amount for you, wouldn't they?" The man asked.
"They won't pay a dime for a soldier like me. I wouldn't let them." Puck said as he stood up.
The sound of men cocking their weapons filled the room.
"Relax, captain. We're just talking right now." The man said with a grin.
"I'm done talking. If you're going to kill me, then do it. I've done my service and my wife knows what I'm getting myself into." Puck said.
"If you insist." The man said as he stood up, pulled out his pistol, and shot him in the head.
"Holy crap!" Puck said as he sat up in his chair.
"What?" Artie said as he turned and faced him.
"I just had a damn nightmare of me being captured by Al-Qaeda." Puck said.
"Let me guess, you tried to be a hero and said that no one would pay for you to be released and your wife knows what you're getting yourself into?" Artie asked.
"Yeah, how did you know?" Puck asked.
"Because you talk in your sleep." Finn said with a laugh as he turned and looked at him.
"Shut up. How long have we've been flying?" Puck asked as he stretched.
"About six hours or so. You missed the movie. They were showing Black Hawk Down." Artie said with a laugh.
"Oh damnit! I love that movie!" Puck said.
"So do you ladies want to do a movie night tonight?" Santana asked as they left the restaurant.
"Yeah, I'm down for that. It'll take my mind off of our men being gone." Quinn said with a smile.
"Agreed. What movie should we watch?" Brittany said with a grin.
"I was thinking either Clueless or Titanic." Santana said with a laugh.
"Ohhh Clueless!" Brittany said cheerfully.
Happily agreeing, the girls went back to Santana's, while Rebecca and Brian were dropped off at a babysitter's for the evening.
Sorry the girls' part so small. Hope you guys liked this chapter! Reviews are always perfect.
