Chapter two
We spent the next day packing and then headed towards the train that would take us to San Diego before taking a plane to get us the rest of the way to Pearl. Right now, we were saying our goodbyes. Fred and I still had no idea if we would be living together since we'd both be in Pearl and married. "Be careful Mia if you need anything call and we'll be there as soon as we can." Ginny said giving me a hug right after rubbing my engorged belly.
"Ginny, I'll be fine. Even though I have no idea if I'll even see Fred once we get down there. You should be getting you're orders soon Nurse Potter." I said in her ear which left her speechless.
She thought none of us knew. Except she forgot that a few of us had been there. But it happens with all that is going on in the world. But the wedding had been a small affair at the courthouse. Being best friends of both the new husband and wife had it's benefits.
But it was still sad to leave everyone. Some part of me was hoping that this war was just some bad dream. But I knew better than to think that way. As well as hoping that the war would be over before the guys saw any real action. But that was more possible than the first thought my head at that came into my head at least. "Mia, baby you need to calm down and relax. The stress is not good for the babies." Fred said rubbing my protruding belly affectionately. I knew he was right. If I didn't relax and soon they would be kicking like crazy shortly. I swear these babies are going to be amazing soccer players just like they're daddy and uncles. "Okay, you two we really need to go. Guys we'll write soon. We love you!" George exclaimed as the three of us headed onto the train and waved in farewell. Fear and laughter in his eyes but more laughter. All of us were afraid we would all never be together again. My biggest fear is that Fred would never hold his son and daughter in his arms.
