Hey guys, sorry the updates are not coming very quickly and how short this one is. Things have been crazy, but I recently came into some free time, so I'm hoping to update every week, if not ever week then definitely every other week. Again, sorry this is so short.

The moment I can see it.
Yes, yes, I can see it now.

"Luke, don't you have to leave to do that 72 hour lock down thing at the base?" I screamed from the bedroom when I heard Lucas was walking up the stairs with boxes in his hands.

"Uhh, ya I think so." He dropped the boxes at the foot of the bed.

"Go, I'll finish putting all of this stuff away."

"But I thought we were going to celebrate me being officially moved in?" He gave me a suggestive look followed by a kiss.

"We will, it will be even better though when you get back."

"I guess."

"Hey, these next three days are going to fly by." I said grabbing his face with my hands.

"Oh thanks, so you won't miss me then while I'm gone?" He pretended to act hurt and I smacked his arm.

"Ya, I never miss you when I don't see you…jerk." We made our way down to the car and I put the one bag of his in the back seat of the truck. A silence fell between us, neither wanting to say goodbye first.

"What you going to do the next couple of days?"

"Finish unpacking and organizing today, tomorrow is lunch with Haley, and the day after that is work all day. So we'll both be super busy and won't miss each other that much."

"Ya, I guess…ok, so be safe with Haley."

"It's lunch with the baby too, goofball."

"Even better, I'll try and sneak away to call you and check in."

"Don't get in trouble."

"I won't. I love you." I leaned in to give him the most loving and heartfelt kiss I could muster up.

"I love you so much." He pulled away and got in the car. I watched him drive away before heading back inside.

Him leaving was bittersweet. We do so much together, that it's nice to have some time apart; not saying I won't miss him because I will like crazy, but it's three days…how hard can it really be? I went back inside and finished up the last of the boxes, made a quick sandwich, and called it an early night. Sleep wasn't that good for obvious reasons, but it is what it is. I was happy to see Haley and the baby the next morning, so I was up early. I haven't seen them in like a few weeks, probably since Bella was born and I'm sure she got super big. We decided to meet at the Grille, like we normally do, but we were going to do a late lunch/early dinner in order to work around Bella's nap schedule. Not long after I walked in and sat down, the mother - daughter duo slowly rolled in.

"Hey you." I got up and pulled Haley into a hug. "I've missed you guys, especially you my sweet girl." I moved from Haley immediately to the baby, picking her up out of the carrier and putting her on my lap while her mother got settled in.

"Sorry we're late, someone didn't want to wake up from her nap."

"Aww, it's ok…her cuteness makes up for it…look how much bigger and stronger you are." I leaned down and planted a kiss on her forehead.

"I know we are actually going later on today for her four week check up, do you want to come?"

"Sure."

"Hear that Bells, Aunt Brooke is going to come with us today! Oh, speaking of coming with us…" I gave Haley a strange look, not really sure of what she was transitioning to. "Not sure what you have planned, but do you and Lucas want to come by us for Thanksgiving next week?"

"Oh shucks, Hales. Luke just promised his Captain the other night that we would go by him. But hey…we can swing around by you guys for dessert."

"That's perfect.." Haley went onto talking about Nathan and how they are adapting to the baby and what not, but my mind was wandering. Thinking about the future I have with Lucas…our kids, what we want to do for holidays. I could just picture it now…and boy did the picture look good.
