Sorry so I've been A.W.O.L, I've had a pretty busy few weeks, its only a short chapter this time, more fireworks are due to come out about Rebecca bombshell of her moving to America, in the next chapter I didn't want to take away from Charles and Molly's big day... I am not sure on the leaving protocols on leaving the army and how much time needs to be done before leaving and couldn't really find anything.

CHAPTER 7

A month after her Nan's funeral and death Molly was thinking about the last 10 years since she joined the army and was beginning to think it was time to move on and thinking it was time to expand their family as she'd like to become a mum but she didn't want to do anything without speaking to Charles, to get his opinion, so she decided to cook Charles a meal for when he got home, later that day Charles walked through the front door and a lovely aroma hit his nose, "hmmmm something smells delicious" drooled Charles "chicken fajitas, salad and apple crumble and custard for pudding" stated Molly "hmm what have I done to deserve this meal midweek, we usually have fajitas on Fridays" Charles said with a look of worry showing on his face, "don't look so worried, just want to discuss things with you, that's all it's all done now so sit down" Molly said passing him a glass of wine, once dinner was done she put everything on plate on the table, once they had sat down Molly began telling him what she thinking, "Charles I was thinking of putting my papers in to leave the army?" Charles put down his chicken wrap and looked at Molly and said "thought you loved the army Moll?" "I do, but I think it's to try another job" Molly replied "what Job do you want to do then?" Charles said looking at nervously "I was thinking only if you want to, I was thinking of giving being a mum a go!" Molly said with a shy smile, she looked at Charles who hadn't said anything and said "what do you think?" "Molly nothing would make happier, I would love for us to try for a baby," stated Charles, they had decided to wait until after the vow renewal seeing as it was only a month away.

Molly and Charles had been back together nearly 18 months, and the date of their vow renewal was 3 days away, when Rebecca dropped the bombshell that she wanted Sam to move in with them as she had a job opportunity in America and didn't want to uproot Sam as was due to start a new school, despite her feelings toward Charles and Molly she had to do what was best for herself and Sam, despite their reservations Molly and Charles as they knew Rebecca had never allowed him more time other than was stated in the custody order and vowed to find out the real reason but in the end they had agreed and also had agreed to send Sam over to see her for a least a week in the school holidays and 3 weeks in the summer holidays and they would have to go back to court to sign over custody, which could wait until the after the ceremony.

The day of the vow renewal had arrived Charles had gone to a hotel with Henry, Sam, Eggy, Baz, Nudenut, Qaseem who Molly had asked to walk her down the aisle, and the rest of the lads from 2 section the night before, while Molly had a girly night with Ana, Jackie, Bashira, Jade, Bella and some of the lads partners, Georgie, Marie, Frankie, Lulu, Max and Grace were coming to the house the day of the ceremony not wanting to intrude, the ceremony was at 14:00, so they all had a chance to catch up before the service, , they recited their vows to each other, which included some lines from early days of their relationship and had given each other new wedding bands as a sign of the fresh journey they was about to start, then it was time to party and a good night was had by all.

A few days after the renewal ceremony Charles and Rebecca had gone back to court to swap over custody and sort out moving the more important things over and they all settled into a new routine, Molly resignation had been accepted and she was told she'd only have to see out 3 months due to her impeccable career and the fact she had a military cross, so they decided to start trying for a baby.
