Of Course!
Chap 6

Bella’s POV

It has been a week since mine and Edward’s discussion.  As each day passed I felt a little better, maybe Edward wouldn’t have to leave.  But those thoughts were harshly crushed by fate when that stupid phone rang
“Hello” I answered, I heard someone clear their throat before speaking
“Yes is Mr. Cullen there?” the man with a rough voice that automatically made you feel intimidated, because his voice rang with authority
“No, not a the moment may I take a message?” I asked sweetly, it went silent for a while I and I thought the man had hung up
“Um yes this is sergeant Kent from the military department, I presume you are Mrs. Cullen?” he asked, I nodded my head even though he obviously couldn’t see it
“Yes” I managed to squeak out, sergeant Kent went on
“Well in our records we have Edward here.  He signed up for training when he was 17, but of course he was too young yet so we had told him we would notify him if he was needed… So if you can let him know we have called that would be great.” He said as I felt my throat tighten.  This was actually happening! Edward was officially going to war
“Does he have a choice?” I found myself asking, rather rudely but at this time I didn’t care, I heard the man sigh
“Afraid not m’ame.” He said sadly “He signed a contract, which if he broke would be a criminal offence.  I assure you he was told about all this when he signed the contract, he also had to have his mother or father sign, because he was too young, so I’m sorry to say it is a done deal”  I sighed
“Yes sir I will notify him that you called” I said in defeat
“Thank you for your time Mrs. Cullen” he said before hanging up.

The day seemed to go by slower than usual and when the kids got home, Zoey went on about her exciting day at school and how she met a new friend; I was only half listening so I missed her name.  I momentarily felt bad for partially ignoring my daughter, but since that call I have been lost in my thoughts all day.  Nate noticed, but he only gave me a look before making his way to his room without a word, and for that I was thankful!

Edward had called me not too long ago telling me he would be home a little later, but assured me he would be home for dinner.  I mechanically made some spaghetti for dinner when I heard the front door open and Edward yelled ‘Hello’ Zoey squealed and ran for the door, I looked out the door of the kitchen to watch Zoey run and jump into Edward’s waiting arms
“Ah!!! My little munchkin” he said kissing her all over her face
“Eww!! Daddy your getting my face all slobbering!” she screamed giggling, I smiled at them, it was just so adorable to see them like that!  Edward stopped his assault on her face and kissed her cheek
“How is my princess today?” he asked walking toward the kitchen where I stood in the doorway, he smiled at me once he reached me, he balanced Zoey on one arm and leaned down to kiss me lightly
“Hello, love.” He said sweetly before Zoey again launched into her story about her new friend while I went back to finishing supper
“Nathan!?” I yelled up the stairs, a few minutes later
“YA?” he yelled back
“Could you please set the table now?” I heard a loud sigh and I rolled my eyes
“Yes.”
“Thank-you” I said as he started to walk down the stairs.

Once dinner was finished I knew I had tell Edward about the call but I soon decided to wait until the kids went to bed, I could tell Edward was noticing my change in attitude, but luckily he waited until we were alone to ask me.

I found myself lying in our bed beside him, I still hadn’t told him
“Bella” he said quietly, and I knew the interrogation was coming
“Yes” I said weakly which hopefully sounded sleepy and not sound like I was about to burst into tears, and that was exactly what I was about to do.  But of course Edward knew me too well!
“Love? What’s wrong?” he asked anxiously as I let my tears fall, he gently flipped me on my back and was looking at me with pain filled eyes “What happened to make you like this?” he asked again stroking the back of his hand down my face, he leaned down and kissed away my stray tears, I sighed
“Sergeant Kent called today” I said heavily, Edward frowned in confusion “He works for the military department.”  I finished as Edward’s face lit up in realization, then he frowned again
“Bella…I’m sorry” he whispered, I scoffed
“No your not!” I said a little louder, but in the quiet room it sounded really loud “You want to go” he looked down.  He knew I was right and he didn’t even try to deny it.
“Bella now that they have called I have no other choice” he whispered almost inaudibly, and I remembered what Kent had said that if he didn’t go now he would be sent to jail.  To my surprise I saw a small tear run down Edward’s face followed by others.  My anger totally disappeared when I saw that!  I had never seen Edward cry, the only time he did was when Nathan and Zoey were born, that was it!  And it broke my heart to see him crying.   Without thinking I wrapped my arm around his shoulders and pulled him into a tight hug and he actually started sobbing, I honestly couldn’t believe this was happening!
“I am going to miss you and the kids so much” he cried, I just nodded not sure what to say as I rubbed his back soothingly

We both fell asleep wrapped tightly with each other.

The next morning I woke up to the bed empty.  I listened and heard Edward’s voice downstairs. I walked to Zoey’s room to find her still sleeping rather peacefully, all wrapped up in her pink comforter, breathing heavily.  I walked to Nathan’s room and had to stifle a laugh as he sat down at his desk, all his homework scattered around him.  His face was down into his Science book he was snoring loudly, it was weird because he never snored!  I walked over to him  and shook him lightly, he opened his eyes and groaned, he tried to breath through his nose but it was all plugged up, he groaned again
“Mom?” he asked groggily, I felt his forehead, he was a little warm, I sighed shaking my head
“You get straight to bed mister you’re definitely sick!” I said pulling him out of his chair and escorting him to bed
“Mom!” he said in a nasally voice “I cant miss school!” he groaned “I have a math test and science test” I shook my head as I all but through him in bed and covered him up
“You will have to do them when you get better.” I said.  He huffed but didn’t argue as he snuggled closer to his pillow and was asleep almost instantly.  

I closed his door and went downstairs to find Edward.  He was sitting at the table with both of his hands threaded through his hair, he only did this when he was frustrated, I went behind him and rubbed his tense shoulders, digging by thumbs into his shoulder blades, he groaned appreciatively
“Nathan is sick” I murmured casually, Edward snorted
“You sure he isn’t faking?” he asked chuckling, I laughed to
“Yes I am sure he was a little warm and his nose was stuffed up” I laughed again “He was actually saying he couldn’t miss school today because he had two tests” Edward looked at me shocked
“Really that is so unlike him!” he said “It makes me wonder if he is doing bad in those subjects and needs to  get good marks on those tests or something” he said looking worried
“Don’t worry about it” I said leaning over his shoulder awkwardly and kissed him, he broke away with a sigh
“I have two weeks to spend time with you guys before I leave for the military camp where I will be training” he mumbled, I froze, oh my god why so soon “So…” he began before I could say anything “We are all going to go somewhere and spend time as a family for a week and a half, sound good?”
“Yes” I said “But where will we go?” I asked, he looked thoughtful
“I was thinking Cedar Point or Disney world, I don’t know what do you think?” he asked
“Hmm…Disney world sounds fun! Zo hasn’t been there yet, we should go there!” I said starting to get a little excited at the family time we were going to spend together!
“Ok, Disney World it is then!”
