It was the next morning i was at the Red Cross hospital with Jamia, Alicia, Holly, and Krista, also the kids as we waited for the parade to arrive with the soldiers.

We wore our uniforms and the kids wore thier best clothes.

"Mommy, where's daddy!!!??" Bandit exclaimed as she held Luka's hand.

"He'll be here," i said.

"There they are!!!" Jamia shouted.

"Make way for our boys!!!" The mayor shotued from a balcony as then we saw them.

They marched in uniforms that were clean and some had bandaged on their heads.

I then saw as some injured soldiers were bought into stretchers and Alicia screamed.

"Mikey!!!!" she said, runnign up.

"Hey, relax. Just need to be in medical watch," he said as Alicia clutched to him and hugged him, kissing him hard.

Where are the others??" Jamia asked.

"There they go now!!" he said as him and Jamia walked into the hospital.

We then spotted Frank jumping around as Jamia, Cherry, and Lily ran up to him, Miles in Jamia's arms as the family held to each other.

I ran up with Holly (well... wobbled) and Krista as we were in the middle of the crowd and i greeted my cousin who was thankfully uninjured, Bob and Holly hugging each other, and then i walk away to leave Krista with Ray.

I looked around for Gerard, praying the worst didn't happen. Luka had ran off with Krista and Bandit was with Holly.

All of a sudden i feel someone turn me around and bend me back a little.

I only had a second to see Gerard's face before i feel his lips pressed against mine as he kissed me passionatly, confetti and streamers falling around us.

He then pulled back and i smile up at him.

"Mi bella," he said. (my beautiful)

"mi valoroso guerriero," i said. (my valiant warrior).

We kissed longer as the parade continued and family and friends and loved ones got reunited.

All of a sudden, a seering pain erupted from my stomach and i stood back, sudenly screaming.

"What's wrong?!" he asked.

I immediatly knew.

"Gerard, its time. The baby is coming," i said.
