Our lives were outwardly perfect.

At twenty-five, I was married to a wonderful man whom I loved and he loved me just as much if not more.

Our son had just turned one two weeks ago and his birthday party had been a huge success. We had gone home to Forks and Carlisle, my father-in-law had transformed his immense mansion into the perfect party venue.

Edward, a United States Naval Officer had only been able to stay for the weekend as he had not aquired much leave since Easter.

Ej and I had stayed home another week visiting friends and other family in the area. Renee had even watched Ej a few times so Alice, Rosalie, and I could go out to dinner or see a movie. My sister-in-laws were my bestfriends.

When our flight landed back in San Diego, where Edward was stationed I was excited to finally see him. It had only been seven days, but I missed him greatly.

Giggling in his stroller, Ej caught sight of his father before I did and cooed, "Dada!"

Standing handsomely in his dress-uniform, Edward waited by the baggage claim where he had already acquired our two luggages as I pushed the stroller towards him; Not oblivious to the women in the airport that stopped to gawk and stare in admiration and wonder at my extremely handsome husband.

He rushed towards us giving me a kiss on the cheek and bending down on one knee to kiss his son on his forehead tugging at a toy attached to the stroller and asking him how his trip went as EJ giggled.

Smiling down warmly at them, I couldn't help but feel my heart tug at how much of an amazing father he was.

Our house was two blocks from the beach, it had taken us almost two years to find the right one; but when we did Edward had worked diligently in his spare time to transform it into my dream house.

We had a 3-bedroom, 3 bathroom, two-story stucco and brick home with a small circular driveway and a decent sized yard.

We had huge open windows and inside the decor was extremely modern, except for the kitchen; mahogany cabinets gave it a contemporary atmosphere.

Our downstairs was extremely open, with a long winding staircase that led up to our bedrooms and the attached bathrooms.

Upon walking in, I was surprised at how clean he had kept it by himself.

It was too clean, you could almost say.

Edward was holding EJ and telling him about random events at work, as if he understood exactly what he was saying the baby listened to his father quietly as I set my smallest luggage down in the living room and looked around.

Smiling crookedly at me, Edward set Ej down in the living room near his toys and went to embrace me into a strong hug where he kissed my neck and eventually reached my lips.

"Did I do a good job taking care of the house baby?"

Arching my eyebrows, I pretended to think for a second. "You did."

"Will I be rewarded for it?"

Playfully smacking his chest, I took a step back. My heels clicking against the dark hardwood floor. "Later."

He groaned and looked at Ej. "Let's put him down for a nap," He suggested.

Shaking my head I went to go sit on our large circular couch and turned the TV on. "His bed time is in less then three hours."

Knowing I was right, he sat beside me and put his arms around my shoulders as I flipped through the channels.

"We might deploy at the end of the summer, " He whispered nibbling on my ear as my heart sunk.

Gulping the knot in my throat, I looked straight ahead. Looking at him now would cause some waterworks.

"Around when?"

He sighed as he kissed my neck. "September."

Ej threw something soft at my leg and giggled as he waddled his way over to retrieve it.

"For how long..."

It wasn't really a question, I knew it'd be long and I knew he'd miss Christmas and all the other holidays.

"Six months."

I let out a breathe I didn't realize I was holding. Last time it had been 10 months, 6 months was do-able.

But, last time; I didn't have Ej.

"Then when I get back, I'll be starting shore duty. Ill be off a ship and we wont have to worry about this for another three years."

He sounded hopeful, so I just nodded laying my head on his chest and hearing his heartbeat.

"We can do this, baby. Ej and I will be hear waiting for you," I assured him feeling him smile.

"I know," He whispered kissing the top of my head. "I love you."
