Deni slowly opens her eyes as the morning sun hits her face. Automatically, her hand reaches out beside her, searching for someone. Then, she realizes, he's not here. Her heart falls as it has the last two weeks he has been gone. She grabs her phone from her bedside table. She flips it open, frantically looking for any message from him. It is too early anyway. Have to wait for eleven. A small cry is heard in the next room. Deni gets up from her bed. Then, she walks to the door, grabbing a bath robe from the end of her bed. As she slips the bathrobe on, she walks out into the hallway. Another cry comes from the other room, this time louder. "Mommy's coming, sweet heart. Just hold on." She reaches a room painted in blue. a crib sits in the corner. Inside it, a two year old boy is standing. "Ok, David. Mommoy's here." She lifts David from the crib. Poor boy. He probably wants Daddy. Gently, she rocks the boy, trying to calm him down. "Mommy knows. Mommy knows. You miss Daddy. Only four and a half months, and Daddy will be home from work. Ok, sweetie?"

****************************************************

What I have with him is worth it. It is worth every lonely night, every tear I cry from missing him and the pain I feel from not having him close. It is worth it because he is my one and only. When I picture myself years from now, I see only him. No matter how painful distance can be, not having him in my life would be so much worse!

 Some super heroes wearcapes. Mine wears combat boots.

******************************************************

This RP is about life as an Army family. I am an Army girlfriend myself. Actually, my character Deni is me. It's crazy hard, but it's worth every effort. In this RP, you can play the girlfriend/ wife, the child of the soldier, or the soldier himself. You can start off with the soldier away already or about to go away. You can start before the girl meets the guy. It's kind of free with how you want your character's plot to go. The way we will unite these couples is that all the men are part of the Unit NH31. NH means they are a New Hampshire Unit. So that means, the girls can live near each other or know each other. Not all of them have to know all the other. You can just be friends with a couple, or all if you want. Just go for it.

********************************************************

Rules

Ok. I know we all hate rules, but there needs to be some kind of rules to keep things on line and under control.

So, Keep it PG16.

If you must swear, use *. It's nicer that way.

No fighting.

Respect others in the RP.

Follow all Res rules.

No Powerplay or Godmoding. If a guy gets shot, he gets hurt. He's not superman. He can't have it bounce off him or heal seconds after getting shot.

No Mary sues or Gary stues please.

Be literate. one word isn't a post. It's just annoying. Post at least a couple sentences.

That's all I got right now, but I reserve the right to add and change rules.

Deni straps David into his car seat. "Ok, David. We gotta get you to daycare. Will you stop wiggling for a minute. Mommy's gotta get you buckled in." Finally, Deni gets David to stay still enough for her to get him buckled up. Then, she hands him his Elmo and closes the door. Deni grabs her coffee from the roof of the car and slips into the drivers seat. She drives down the road to the daycare. She parks and gets out of the car quickly. "David, we are late now. We need to hurry," she says as she gets him out of the carseat. Shethrows his diaper bag on her shoulder and strolls into the daycare.She puts David down. "Ok. Be good, David. I love you." Deni kisses the toddler on the cheek and leaves. Deni gets into the car and pulls out of the parking lot, heading for Hesser.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Shane walks back into his room after a day of work. It is 3:00 pm here in Kuwait, which means Deni would be just dropping off David. He loved that Deni was willing to take care of David as if he were her son. THat was just another thing about her that Shane loved. He goes over to his computer and pulls up his email. Like usual, there was one new message in his inbox. He started reading:

                          It is 9:26 pm my time, which means it is 4:26 am your time. It's crazy how far away we are in distance and time, yet still our hearts are so strongly linked. I wish you could see my Facebook. It's all dedicated to us. It's amazing. My last few statuses were all about our love too. "1 week was all it took....." "Not even an ocean can break us apart......." "We are miles apart and still my heart beats with yours." Those are them, poetic and romantic. I can't stop thinking about you. You are stuck on my mind. Everything I think and do and say somehow reminds me of you. Today, I found myself smiling that adorable half-smile of yours. I did that cute little giggle thing of mine when I noticed, that one I do just because I am happy, that one that always makes you ask, "What?". That's when my friend, Shawyn, asked me, "What?", which made me think of you more so I giggled that giggle again and replied, "Nothing." I know that probably doesn't seem like much to you, but with you away, it meant a lot to me. I was surprised I didn't cry. Yesterday, when I saw some kid do that nose thing you do, the one where you rub your nose with your hand and it sounds like it's cracking or something, I cried, just flat out started bawling. Of course, that turned into a bunch of people surrounding me, shooting question after question at me, trying to make sure I was okay, which didn't help that much. It just made me feel insanely stressed out. Like I said though, little things make me think of you. The way Sage plays with my hair at lunch, the way Catrina obsesses over NCIS, the way my foot won't stay still: It all reminds me of you. I see dads with little toddlers, and I think of you and David. Butterflies remind me of the time you took me with you and David to The Butterfly Place. It's just insane how much can trigger thoughts of you.
                           I've never done this before, the whole army girlfriend thing. I never really wanted to. I'm not a fan of long distance, and I am definitely not a fan of war, but somehow I am still okay with being with you. Something changed that first night I saw you. Something clicked. I don't know what it was, but something drew me to you. I never planned on any this coming out of Amanda's dumb set up. I never imagined being in love with something I used to hate. I've always been against the whole Army thing, but something about you changed my mind. Now, not only am I accepting it, I am understanding it. I fell in love with a soldier. In one week, I fell in love with an amazing man.
                            I don't regret anything I did in that one week. I am glad I met you and fell in love with you. I wouldn't change that for the world. I hope you know that. David and you are what I live for now. I couldn't imagine my life with out the two of you. What we have is stronger than anything I have ever felt before. I have thought I was in love before. I will admit, I really thought I had found true love with someone before. Now, I know that what I felt then was nothing. What I felt then can't compare to what I feel now. What I feel now is a hundred times stronger, a hundred times more beautiful, a hundred times better. I never knew my heart could soar so high. You make me feel like I am walking on air, floating on clouds.
                               Where I am now is a house. Where I will be when you get back is home. I want to wake up in your arms every morning. I want to fall asleep in your arms every night. Please allow me to be with you always. Share a life with me. Please. I want to spend forever with you and David. I want all of us to be a family. Tell me that we will, but only tell me if you mean it.
                               It is 10:02 pm here, which means it is 5:02 am there. I don't expect to hear from you. I want you to know I don't demand to hear from you. I would love to hear from you though. Text me or email me whenever works for you. I love you. I miss you. I won't ever forget you. I hope you don't forget me. Good morning, Shane. I promise you my forever.

Shane hit the reply button and started writing back to her. 
 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
Melissa slapped the alarm clock by her bed. She rolled over and looked at the time. 8:09 am. Ugh! She didn't want to head to work. She was exhausted. Her neighbors kept her up all night with their late-night sreaming battles. She pulled herself out of bed and dragged herself to her closet. Today would be a long day. She could already feel it.
 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
Robert walked down the street to Donna's Diner. He ate breakfast there every morning. When he was little, his dad would bring him there. When Rob went away to college, he missed the diner mornings with his father. Now, his dad had passed away, but Rob picked back up the diner mornings. It was his way of staying close with his dad. He sat at his usual table and ordered his usual meal: eggs over-easy, bacon, and home fries.
