Chapter 4 - Unexpected gift

Molly laid in her bed, fully awake waiting for the alarm to go off. It was soon time to get up, probably just a couple of minutes before all the lads was awake. They had been in Afghanistan for over four months now.

A month ago, everything had been fine, she had been happy and liked it here. Now was everything just a mess.

She was a bloody good medic and did her job great but inside she felt broken. She remembered that stupid day when she had of mistake laid her eyes on Charles medical form.

She had been in the medical tent organizing some stuff when the binder with the medical forms fell down on the floor. She picked it up and saw that a paper had fell out, it was Charles medical form. Something caught her attention when she looked at the paper.

Spouse: Rebecca James

She had stormed out from the tent to find Charles, she had been furious with him.

Captain Hansen had stepped out from Charles tent when she got there. He had asked her if something was wrong and she had answered "Everything" and then walked inside the tent and left a confused Captain Hansen outside.

When she yelled at Charles he didn't deny it, he had told her that he was divorced but she had still been angry about the 'not telling part'.

Then, if it wasn't enough al ready he told her that he also had a son, Sam. That had been enough for her, he should have told her this months ago. They had slept together for fuck sakes. Didn't he thought it was relevant to say at least something about the 'ex. wife and son part' .

Then she told him to go to hell and also reminded him of that she from now on wouldn't be a problem for him, because she was a private, he was her captain and nothing else.

This was a month ago, she hadn't talked to Charles about it since. Captain Hansen had tried to talk to her a few times but she was stubborn and wouldn't tell him anything. Eventually he had given up.

Her work relationship with Charles was as usual, she was a private, he was the captain and they treated each other that way. But sometimes she caught him looking at her with a sad look in his eyes. She did miss him. But she still thought that he had been an asshole to her.

"Piiiip" The alarm went of and everybody else's alarms too. A new day was here and she was now back to reality.

She wrinkled her nose, it really smelled in her. Her stomach clenched and suddenly she felt like she needed to puke. She was only wearing her panties and a t-shirt but now she really felt like she was going to puke.

She hurried out from the tent and right into the captain. Just my luck she thought...

"Eyyee, easy Dawes" She almost lost her balance but he steadied her with his hand placed on her arms.

"Sorry boss..." she stopped, realized that she really needed to puke now and turned away from him and puked in the sand.

"Are you okey?" Charles sounded worried when he talked to her, she stood with her head down and her hands on her knees.

Suddenly he took a step forward, putted his hand on her arm. The touch was like fire on her bare skin, she felt it in her entire body. Only his touch made her feel this way.

Then she felt embarrassed, she had just puked just in front of him, that was disgusting. She stood up, he removed his hand and she turned to face him

"I'm sorry boss" His eyes were filled with concern. He was great on hiding his emotions but in this moment she could see them clear.

She missed him, so much.

"No need to apologize Dawes, are you sure you okey? Do you need to rest?"

"Just a bit nauseous sir, but I'm feeling better now thanks" He wasn't convinced. Then he looked down and realized that she wasn't wearing any pants.

"Dawes, you are not wearing any pants" he said with a terrified voice and she chuckled.

"Had no time boss" He shook his head but gave her a smile and she smiled back at him. She was just on her way to walk back in when he grabbed her arm stopping her from walking away.

"I've missed you" he said before he letted her arm go and walked away. She stood there for a few seconds, watching him walk away.

Maybe she did over react that day. He had said that he was divorced, that she probably hadn't got new forms yet. Captain Hansen had also told her this, several times. Why would he lie about it and maybe she could forgive him for not telling her?

"Oh crap" again she felt like she was going to puke and so she did...

. . .

"Jackie" Mollys friend Jackie was also a medic and they had met on Mollys first day here. They had clicked from the frist moment and was now close friends. "I need to talk to you" Molly nodded in the direction of the med tent and the walked over there.

"What is it?" Jackie sat down on the bed, Molly on the other hand walked around inside the tent looking nervous.

"Okey" she started "I need to tell you something, promise to don't be mad, just hear me out first"

"Molly Dawes, what have you now done?" Trouble always seemed to find Molly and Jackie wondered what it was this time...

"I think I'm pregnant" Jackies eyes got big, she starred at Molly and had no idea what to say?

"How the hell can you be pregnant? We have been here for over four months, that's like 16 weeks and at that time you don't 'think' you are pregnant, you are pregnant and you LOOK pregnant an you don't look pregnant to me Molly Dawes?" Molly sat down on the bed next to Jackie, her eyes got moist and she putted her head in her hands. Jackie softened, her friend needed her and probably not the angry her...

"My period is late, I'm tired, I feel ill and I smell things everywhere" Jackie didn't know what to say, It did sound like Molly was right but they had to know for sure. She was now completely serious and turned in to the Jackie the medic. They needed to sort this out, fast.

"I'm gonna go and get a pregnant test from the hospital, wait here" Molly looked up at her friend, she was grateful that she had her. Jackie was someone you always could count on.

"Thank you" Jackie stood up and made her way over to the opening but stopped and turned to look at Molly again.

"Who is it?" There was a small paus before Molly said...

"It's Captain James" Jackie was shocked, she had thought it was Smurf but Captain James, wow...

"Oh, okey" she didn't no what to say "I'm gonna get the test now, see you soon" She disappeared an left Molly alone.

Half an hour later she was back.

"That wasn't easy, there was a lot of people at the hospital so it wasn't easy to get, but here you go" Molly stood up, gave her friend a hug and putted the box inside her pocket. They both walked over to the toilets and Molly went in when Jackie waited outside.

. . .

Charles sat in his tent, lost in thought. He missed Molly incredibly much but maybe it was for the best. He was her commanding officer and according to the army rules it was a really good thing that they hadn't anything going on anymore.

Then all of sudden he heard a sound. Someone was outside the tent, he waited for someone to step in but it didn't happen. He frowned and stood up. Who is sneaking around his tent in this hour?

He peeped out throw the tent opening and to his surprise it was Molly.

"Molly?" He could see that her eyes were red and she looked worried. She had been crying? He had a strong feeling that he had something to do about that.

"Oh, eh... sorry Boss... I need to talk to you..." Her voice was soft and shaky. He got worried, what had happened? He just wanted to reach out and hold her tight, keep her safe.

"Are you okey? What has happened?" She looked down on her feet and stayed quiet. How would she tell him this, she thought?

"Come in" Charles clutched her arm softly and the walked inside the tent. He made sure the tent opening was completely closed and then sat down on the bed beside Molly.

She started to cry and now, without hesitations he putted his arms around her, pressed her against him. She laid her head on his chest and they sat there for what felt like forever before she started to talk.

"Charles" she looked up at him with her green eyes that made his entire body feel weak "I'm pregnant" He got cold. Pregnant?

"Are you sure?" he asked.

"Yes"

He held her tighter, he didn't wanted her to worry, not right now at least. This was a huge problem for both of them.. What the hell were the going to bloody do?

"Are you angry? she mumbled into his chest. He placed a soft kiss on the top of her head.

"No, I'm just as responsible as you are. We really screwed up" She froze, a screw up? Is that what he thinks about this? I'm a also just a 'screw up'? She stood up, putted her hands on her hips glazing angry at him.

"A screw up, is that what we are to you" She felt how tears started to fill her eyes. Charles looked at her with pain in his eyes.

"Of course not, I love you and I'm going to be there for you if you decide to keep it"

"Decide to keep it? You want me to consider going through an abortion?" now she was really angry and hurt.

"I want what you want"

"You 'want what I want', you can't say that. I want you to want to have it, if you want to have it because I want to keep it but i don't want you to want it if you don't want to want it..."

"Oh easy there, now you are talking very fast and I don't understand half of it" She went quiet and she looked so lost, so small. He stood up and embraced her, at first she was stiff but then she relaxed in his arms.

"Sorry, I'm just worried" she whispered.

"I know, me to" he held her tighter, he needed her, he loved her and he wanted her to know that "I love you and I'm gonna love this baby, of that I'm sure. We are going to sort this out somehow"
