As the last few days of R&R approached Molly and Charles started running to keep up the fitness that is needed to be a in the army. They were highly competitive and always racing each other. Molly usually won. She would threaten him if he didn't put any effort in then he would be cleaning the toilets. This would usually be yelled by molly from the gate when Charles would be at the bottom of the road.
When the time arrived for them to go back to afghan, Sovay and Leon drove them to Brize Norton. Molly had been back to London to say goodbye to her family and get Charles's rosabya for him. They weren't due back till the 15th of December and that included a week in Cyprus for decompression and normalisation. So molly probably wouldn't see her family till the night before the wedding.
Once they had checked in they said goodbye to Charles's parents. This proved hard for Charles mum as he hadn't been back on the front line since his accident so she was concerned and rightly so. He was her only child and she wanted him to be safe.
"Take good care of my baby" Sovay whispered as she hugged molly
"I will, he is my life to" molly replied
At that moment they were called as the plane was ready to go. They were traveling with a section from the royal signals who were on their third tour of Afghanistan
"Don't worry he will be fine" Leon said taking his wife's' hand
"How do you know" Sovay cried "he almost died the last time he was out there"
"He has his good luck charm. Molly won't let anything happen to him"
Sovay smiled and the pair watched the plane take off and disappear. Leon looked at his wife and prayed that he was right. If anything happened to Charles it would destroy her. This was going to be a long few months ahead.
