Avery watched Gracie look away as Sara's name came out of his mouth and he frowned. He never wanted to talk about the girl again, but somehow she would always come up. "I'm sorry." He mumbled, he knew Gracie had forgiven him, but he hadn't, he never should have let it happen. "I, uh, I should go." He sat up, kissed her lips and her belly. "I love you Gracie girl."

Gracie smiled lightly at him and watched him as he got ready to go, kissing her and their baby. "Alright," she said lightly. She smiled with his last words and nodded, "I know, I love you too, Avery." She let out a sigh, part of her, or most of her, was glad that her mother had accepted him or at least decided to give him a chance. The other very small part of her, however, was sad. She was looking forward to sleeping in his bed tonight, even if that would mean risk getting in trouble. She just wished she could be near him, but she would wait for the right time. She kissed his cheek one more time. "Bye. I'll talk to you tomorrow?"

Avery pulled himself out of bed and started toward her bedroom door. "You may hear from me before tomorrow." He grinned and closed the door behind her. He waved to Tally and let himself out. When he got home he passed his parents room. "Avery..." His mother called. He thought about just going on upstairs to his room, but he back tracked and stepped into the doorframe. "I'm sorry." She said. "Your father and I talked." She looked at Guy and continued. "I shouldn't have brought up Sara, you won't tell us what happened between you and as much as I'd like to know so I can help, I know it was something bad and it was wrong for me to bring her up." Guy nudged her. "And Gracie isn't who I'd always imagined for you, but I'll learn to love her." Avery looked down at the floor. "Avery, I'm trying."
"She's wonderful, she makes me happy, she's beautiful, and despite what she thinks she's brilliant. She is also humble and never ceases to amaze me. I'm happy she's carrying my child and that when I come back from tech school she's going to marry me. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go see if I'll be able to come home to witness the birth of my child." His dad nodded and Avery ran upstairs.
He found some information and sent Gracie a text around midnight. I have some bad news and some semi good news. My mom will learn to love you. Bad news, I won't be able to leave base until I'm done training, the only thing I might be able to do is go so many miles off base, so unless you can have the baby in a hospital within a certain miles from base I'm going to miss out. Love you doll.

Gracie had figured the best thing for that night was to just go to bed. She'd worry about things when she got up in the morning. She went to her bathroom with her pajamas, taking her phone with her and setting it on the counter. She got ready for bed, brushing her teeth and started drawing a bath, getting in and out after about thirty minutes. No sooner than she got out, she received a text message from Avery. She smiled as she looked at it and licked her lips. At least she'll love me eventually, she thought, although she wasn't optimistic about that being any time soon. She sighed, though, as she saw the next part of the text. She licked her lips as she typed a reply on her phone, How close do I need to be? I'll do it. I'll find a hospital close and live wherever I have to for the month before the birth. I can do it. Tally will come with me, I just want you to be with me...

That's the thing, I'll have to have written consent from my commanding officer. I don't even know where my training is going to take place yet or if it's even close to a hospital. Another thing, I don't want you living in some strange town or city in the last month of your pregnancy. And who knows, you could deliver early and it's just a bigger mess than we need to deal with right now. Make Tally promise to record it and I'll be there for the next one, no matter what. Unless it'll put me in prison, because that wouldn't help at all.

Oh... Alright... I guess you're right, it probably wouldn't be very good for anyone if I went wherever you're training... Too bad there isn't a base near Riverside... I promise she'll record it for you. I want you there, but I can deal. I really hope you get to be there for the next one. Maybe you'll get a boy that time

Gracie, I'll just make sure I'm not being deployed or going on some mission. I don't know how, but I'll figure something out, alright. I could always get a girl next time...

lol, I love you, soldier, even if you're mistaken about the gender of the baby. I'm telling you, it's going to be a girl. Just because there are so many boys in your family. I think the X chromosome will set in.

Bluh, yeah <--that means I'm sticking out my tongue and making a not so flattering face at you. Anyhow, I love you and I'll love our baby no matter what consonant is going to stick. So did your mom come out of her room when I left?

alright well for the record I love our baby too, boy or girl. And I have no idea. I've not been out of my room, really. I took a bath in my and Tally's bathroom. So I haven't even seen her since, which is probably a good thing. I figure staying away is best right now.

Good to know. Maybe things won't be so bad. You should talk to her, maybe she'll listen to you now that I'm not sitting there for her harassing pleasure. Gracie girl, I'm off to bed, early morning...well you know.
