The man was getting jittery, he hated just standing here, not being able to do a damn thing. The man's eyes were searching for that long blonde hair, for that beautiful face he loved so much. He searched, but nothing until suddenly she was there. "Well I have to say, you are one handsome soldier, Bama." The man smiled, extremely happy that he could finally see her outside of a picture. "I'm happy you approve." The man mentioned to her as he grabbed her in the biggest hug he could and kissed her. "I have missed you so much... And I love what you did with your hair." The man said to her as he smiled and just held her for a moment.

The man finally moved away from the other soldiers still in rank, held her hand and once they were away from the soldiers still handing, he kissed her again. "Who all came? Where's Luka?" The man wanted to see his son, wanted to kiss his boy. The man figured his parents were here, maybe his siblings. He had invited Wynter and her wife, but he was sure they might be busy. The man held her hand tightly, he didn't want to let it go, he only had the weekend to be with her, because then he had to start another eight weeks of training, but at least then they could visit on the weekends and he could talk to them on the phone. 

The man saw the few tears, he pushed them from her cheeks, holding her in his arms, not wanting to let her go. No matter what anyone thought or said, James loved Charley with every fiber of his body. If he could go back and take all the pain from the past away, he would. If he could go and find Callum, he would kill the man and make sure he was never found... That wouldn't be too hard, their were a lot of coyotes in Alabama. Holding her, the man felt like this was what life was about, being with the ones he loved and he knew that it was true. The man swayed slightly, kissing her forehead, her cheeks, her lips, her eyes... God, he missed this Gypsy!

"I've missed you so much." The man looked at her, the words coming out in a saddened voice and he just held her tighter. "So many nights I wanted to come to you... Many times I went to the bathroom and thought, if I disappeared for ten minutes, no one would know... Well, except the one wizard here who put a spell on the whole post to keep that from happening." He motioned towards a NCO who was watching them with a smile. James smiled at the man who just gave him a look that said he had done well and went back to his other Soldiers.

"Luka is with your parents. I wanted to tell you something first." Those words, he wasn't sure if he wanted to know what came last. It brought back a painful memory, one that happened during his Christmas break. She had been in New Zealand, he had been with his family, though he wanted to be with her. Feeling her lips on his own kind of calmed his nerves, but not by much. "James, I'm pregnant." The man looked at her for a moment, the words taking a moment to register with him.

"You're... You mean... Another baby?" The man could barely form his own words, they just fell out of his mouth in a jumble of different things. "Oh Charley!" The man said, picking her up and spinning her around and around. "I'm gonna be a father again! Another little one!" The man was beyond excited, in fact, his fellow Soldiers just smiled and clapped, gave whistles and made sure they sent their own congrats.

James didn't want to miss out on anything and it was why for the first four years he was going to the new Post in Montana, the one his father ran and that was for magical people to learn of the muggle world better. Oh sure, they could still be deployed, but the deployments would be a lot different then that of a muggle deployment. However, he was going to a unit with a lot of half bloods and muggleborn soldiers, they had a higher chance of deployment to a more dangerous place. He had told that to Charley in a letter, he wanted to be completely up-front with her on that, but the thing about being a Wizard, you could travel a lot more then you could as a muggle.

"We were okay. Luka misses you though." The man wanted to see his son, wanted to hold him tight, love him and kiss him. Luka was his son, no matter what. He was a Richardson! However, the reality of another baby was shocking, the excitement in the man was overwhelming, he wanted to burst at the seems, but if he wasn't careful, even a grown wizard who had control of his magic could cause some problems. The sound of people cheering made him realize they weren't alone and he looked around at some of his buddies. "Another baby." The man smiled, kissing her back just as deeply. "I love you, James."

"I love you too." The man said before he took her hand and they searched for his family. It wasn't hard to find the higher ranking man looking towards him with a smile on his face. James knew his father was an officer now, not just an NCO, so he walked up, released Charley's hand and gave his father a full on salute. The older Richardson acknowledged and returned the Salute before they embraced in a hug. Lindsey gave her son a kiss and quickly handed over Luka. James smiled at his son, kissing his cheek and just holding him as tightly as he could without hurting the child.

The man couldn't believe it! A Father again?! It was something he had not planned. He knew this might put a slight kicker in her training, but at the same time he knew she would handle it. She always was good at that, but he was too excited. The man knew they had a lot to learn, had a lot to figure out now that she was pregnant again. Luka was still a baby himself, not even a year old. This was not going to be easy, but James wasn't exactly one for the reason road now was he? The man just wanted to hold her, didn't care about anything else, just wanted to have her in his arms.

"Lindsey, do you have that box I left?" The man looked at the box as he got Luka and kissed his son, holding him and swaying slightly as they stood there. After a moment, he noticed that he didn't see her parents and wondered if they were too busy. He also didn't see her siblings but he figured they might be doing other things to better themselves. "Where's your family, Charley?" The man was curious, as he always had been. The man loved her family, even if some of her family hated him. He would never do anything to hurt her or her family, only wanted a way to provide and give her everything they needed. With the military they could travel, they could see the world and yet with Magic, they could do so much more.

"I've got something to tell you both, but showing you is always better." Lindsey looked at her for a moment, a bit of wondering mixed with confusion and 'what are you planning?' James looked at Charley as well, not sure what it was but figuring it had something to do with little bean number two. As it was opened Lindsey just looked at it, as if she couldn't move and finally she grabbed her husband by the shoulder and pulled him over, showing him the picture. A smile creep to his face and Lindsey had tears in her eyes.

"Another one?" James nodded, holding Luka in his arms. "Grand-baby number two mom."

It would be an amazing thing. James was going to be finishing up his training, they would move to a base and have an amazing life. The kids would love the traveling, they would have so much fun! He just knew they would! They would have friends as children and then off to Salem when they were older. Where would they go next? Germany? Italy? Japan? There were so many places! Alaska was cold and Hawaii hot! Germany was far away, but Europe would be the perfect place to travel!

"They're going to meet up with us later. The twins and my parents are here, but Renee is working." James smiled since he couldn't wait to see them. It was a shame that Renee had to work, but he understood that. "Well, work is work. Pretty soon it will be five o'clock to seventeen hundred for me too... Lunch break only. But it will be worth it." They would have everything they needed. Health insurance, money, food, a home... Everything. Not only that from the muggle world, but they would have an amazing magical experience as well.

"Wynter sends her love, but with the whole sunlight aspect of today kept her at bay." The man nodded as he knew his distant cousin would have come otherwise. She fell in love with a vampire, she became a vampire and now the sun was no fun for her. But he still enjoyed knowing how she was doing, even if one of the memories was a rather odd one.

"We're going to have another little baby." James smiled as his mother put the box in her husband's hands and just wrapped Charley in a huge hug. "I'm so happy for you three!" James' mom always got emotional. "We should have an announcement party to celebrate it with everyone... Some of the guys had that when their wives were pregnant." James had probably heard about every announcement party on earth by this point. Once they found out that he was married at the age of eighteen(and that he got married at just before he turned eighteen) they were all shocked. They told him more stories than he could remember.

"I'm due in May." James smiled and held Luka while he put an arm around Charley. He was so happy that he had her.
