Life doesn’t get more real than having a newborn at home. - Eric Church

Jaxon walked into the nursery and found Bunny standing next to the crib looking down at their sweet little mermaid. Ariel was laying on her back with the blanket pulled up around her chest. Her short curly hair was creating a small black crown around her milk chocolate skin. Gentle sucking motions on her lips and the occasional twitch of a limb was the only movement from the sleeping baby.

Wrapping his arms around Bunny, Jaxon pulled her into a gentle hug. “What are you thinking?”

“I feel guilty.” Bunny admitted as tears pooled in her eyes.

“You shouldn’t.” he assured her as he kissed her neck. “We talked about this. It’s best for her. It’s best for you.”

“I know. But what if she needs me?”

“Bunny, if anything happens, the daycare will call you. They’re professionals.”

She scoffed. “I worked at a daycare in college. Don’t give me that shit.”

“And we checked out every daycare in to

    Fifth General Order of the Navy: To quit my post only when properly relievedIt had been tradition for as long as Dean could remember. And whenever her mom had been gone, it had been Reese who did it. But now, her mom was gone forever. And Reese had a wife and babies. And JD was gone.Looking at the ring on her finger, she smiled through her silent tears. He had promised to come home to her. Had said that this was only temporary. That he would always come back to her.Mary had made the same promises.Dean knew how those promises meant nothing to the universe. It didn’t care about teenage girls who just wanted to know that she was loved.Her body shook with a silent sob and Monster moved closer to her and nuzzled her with his snout. She wrapped an arm around his body and held him close.Lost in her own thoughts and tears, she did not hear the bedroom door open.

    If you are not willing to learn, no one can help you.

There was the comfort of being surrounded by those who knew him. And annoyance at constantly being asked how he was, where he was, what he was doing.Boot camp.Boot camp.Boot camp.Seriously, didn’t any of these people watch any military movies? The montage of videos for the boot camp scenes never showed the recruits traipsing through a field of wildflowers with the drill sergeant riding a rainbow and glitter farting unicorn. The image conjured in her head had her snickering in English. Maybe that would be her answer to the next person who asked what JD was doing.Then as she listed to the teacher go over the reading list, she found herself wondering, what did the Navy call their drill sergeants? She was certain that they we

    It’s hard to see things when you are too close. Take a step back and look. – Bob RossReese turned and looked at the mural that Dean had painted on the wall behind his desk. For the past month, he had been trying to find the zombie. He had been nose to wall over just about every inch of the wall. Still, he could find nothing.Grabbing his phone he looked to see if she had responded to his text.You don’t have to tell me where the zombie is, but give me a hntHint. Hnt should have been hintThere still was no response.“Teenagers.” He complained out loud.“Give them an inch and they swim all over the ocean.” Gigi said from the doorway.“Okay, Sebastian.” He chuckled as he turned around to face her.She laughed as she propped herself against the doorframe. “That was my mom’s favorite quote for the longest time. And if you asked her, she had teenagers for the longest time.”“I just realized; I’m going to be seventy when these three will graduate

She smiled as she thought about when she and her mom flew to Washington D.C. Her mom had pointed at the baggage handlers.“Those guys are the most important members of the crew.”“Why?” Dean had asked, expecting some philosophical explanation since her mom was notorious for making sure that her daughter knew that fancy titles did not mean that the person was more important than anyone else.“They make sure the pilot has clean underwear.”Laughter bubbled up, even now as grief washed over her. Reaching down, she gently touched her bracelet flipping open the heart. Her mom smiled at her from the small picture. Swiping at her tears, she

They all checked into the hotel suites that Reese had reserved. He pointedly looked at his daughter as he handed over her key card.“This is not a floor party.”She chuckled as she took the piece of plastic from her dad and grabbed her fiancé by the hand. “I promise not to have any water balloon fights if Dean promises not to set up any glitter bombs.”“O, you can check.” Dean said handing over her suitcase and carryon bag. “I did not bring anything to do glitter bombs.” “I believe you.” He told the teen. And he did believe her. For the most part. Mainly because she had been too nervous before they left to even think about glitter bombs.To be perfectly honest, he would not be surprised if she had forgotten some of the bare basics.A few hours later, Dean knocked on the door to Helen and Reese’s suite.“

    Eighth General Order of the Navy – To give the alarm in case of fire or disorderWednesday was spent sightseeing around Chicago and the lake. The wind was cold and blustery. There was a reason why this was the Windy City, and she showed the visitors exactly why. There were plenty of things to do out of the wind and everyone used the babies as an excuse to stay inside. After a hearty breakfast at the hotel restaurant, the large group took several vans to the Field Museum. Dean had expressed an interest in seeing the art museum, but they were closed on Wednesdays. Instead, Reese bought them tickets for Friday so that JD could join them.They were all amazed at the size of the dinosaur skeletons and other fossils. Entertained by the 3D movies and other exhibits. They took a break and ate at one of the museums’ cafés and then went to the neighboring aquarium. As always, even so far away from home, a few of Neo's guards followed at a distance, looking like a group of fr

Childs sat in the front passenger seat talking with the driver – Gigi’s crush who they discovered that morning was named Savannah.Helen reached over and grasped Dean’s leg that was bouncing nervously. She gave the teen a smile of understanding.“I’m so damned nervous. Please don’t make me write a paper over that.”Shaking her head, Helen replied “Time and place. And this time, it’s both.”She took a ragged breath and then looked out through the front windshield as she nodded. The gate sat in front of them, large and imposing. Behind the large rolling gate sat a red brick guardhouse under a large white covering. The roof was angled just like a house, but underneath was a decorative arch, and it was open on all sides.NAVAL STATION GREAT LAKES was written over the arch in large let

There needed to be a different word for this … monstrosity. Rye bread with mayonnaise and mustard. Three types of cheeses. Five types of deli sliced meat. Romaine and iceberg lettuce.

Other nights, they were sweet, or amusing. After the first few nights of carefully curated smut scenes, he chose a book, and they would read a few chapters each night.They were on book three of a series of five tonight and she was having a hard time concentrating. The light touch of his calloused hands under her shirt did not help her concentration. Nor did his mouth on her neck.Certainly, the bulge at her lower back was a bit distracting.“Something’s on your mind.” He whispered and then lightly bit her earlobe.“No…” she tried to brush off his observation and he simply chuckled

The one with low cushioned tables and pillows on the floor.The lights were up during the day, but for meals, they would be lowered. Lights would shine out from inside the tables, illuminating the sub on display. There were cushions that could be moved to accommodate the person on the table. One under the knees, a small one under the lower back and one to support the neck and head.Marnie had told the older woman that she loved the other restaurant. The meals were finger foods that were served on the sub. Helen had looked at the Brat who smiled at her.“On the sub.” Marnie said again. “Steve

JD wrapped his arm around Dean’s waist and pulled her to his side.She wore a knee length black skirt and matching jacket with a white lace shirt underneath. Her hair was pulled up in a tight twist in an effort to keep it contained in the wind. She wore sapphire and silver teardrop earrings that matched her shoes.The leg of JD’s course BDU uniform brushed up against her bare leg as she moved in closer to him. Curling into his chest, she smiled as he pressed a kiss to the top of her head. “Nervous?” he asked quietly.She nodded. “Yes. It’s the biggest thing I’ve ever done for so many people to see.
