Here's Chapter 11! The chapter most of you want to know answers to. It's short though, like most of the chapters.

icklebitodd: My answer to the riddle... I'm gonna go easy and go with "A mongoose in a pear tree" LOL!

Oh, and a note... I heard the soldiers go to Germany... I don't know if it's if they're injured or not. I'm Canadian, so I don't know anything about the US War and procedures

Thanks for the reviews!!

Enjoy!

Catherine's POV

I wake up to the phone ringing and I groggily grab the phone

"Hello?"

"I promised" I hear

"Sara?" I think I'm dreaming

"Hey, babe. Did I wake you?" I hear and I look at the time

"It's 4am, but I don't care." I'm shaking Lindsay awake "I'm waking up Lindsay, Sara. Greg is here too. I'll get Lindsay to get him" Lindsay nods at me and runs out the room

"GREG!!!!" Lindsay yells as she's running down the stairs. I hear Sara laugh

"I hear her, babe. Why is Greg there, though?" Sara asks

"I got the letter saying you were M.I.A I called Greg over for support before I opened it."

"I'm sorry" Sara says quietly

"Oh, baby. Don't apologize. I knew you would come back to us"

I hear Greg and Lindsay running up the stairs and Greg jumps onto the bed followed by Lindsay

"Sara's alive?!" Greg asked

"YES! Oh honey? I'm gonna put you on speakerphone so everyone can hear you" I put the speakerphone on and Sara laughs again

"Sara!! I'm going to fu… friggen" Greg corrects himself "Kill you! Don't you ever do that to me again!"

"Greg, I'm sorry. But you can always try to kick my butt when I get home"

"Try?! Oh! I will!" causing laughter between the 4 of us

"Sara?" Lindsay says in a small child-like voice

"Linds" Sara's voice softens

"I'm sorry, Sara. I was so worried that those were going to be the last words I said to you"

"It's ok, sweetie. I know you were upset. You're still my little pipsqueak" That was Sara's nickname for Lindsay

"I love you Sara. You mean a lot to me, you're my second mom. And when you come back and you and mom get married, I would really like you to adopt me, if you want to. So I can legally call you my mom, too." I'm shocked, but incredibly moved by what my daughter just said

"Oh Linds!" I know Sara is crying tears of joy right now "I would love that. I love you too, Lindsay."

We here someone in the background

"Ok, I have to go in a few minutes. Can I talk to you before I go, Cath?"

"Of course" Lindsay and Greg nod at me and leave the room. I take the phone off the speakerphone

"Cath, I miss you and I love you" Sara said and I hear a sniffle

"Oh! I love you too!" I cry, "When are you coming back?"

"I'm in Germany right now for a few more weeks. Then I'll be flying back to Vegas on May 5th "

"Germany?! Were you injured?! What happened?!" I shoot out

"Yes, I'll give you the short and sweet version and I'll explain later. We were ambushed, I was shot in the back and leg. But I survived"

"Oh honey! How are you?"

"In pain, but I'm alive. Plus, hearing your voice makes a world of difference"

"Why did they say you were M.I.A?"

"It was a misunderstanding. When I realized what happened, I called you. But I'll explain that later. I have to go now, babe. I love you. See you May 5th"

"I love you too. Bye Sara"

She promised! She's alive! She's coming back home! This has got to be one of the happiest days of my life!

Oh! Listen to all those "I told you so!" emitting through my screen!
