"Ehh it's okay. Not the funnest thing but it has to be done you know?" He said.

Cecilie nodded. "I'm sorry," she said sympathetically.

"It's okay," he said. "How's JJ?"

Cecilie smiled at the mention of their son. "He's so cute," she gushed happily. "Getting bigger every day. Oh, amoureux, he looks so much like you."

Jack smiled, listening to her. He missed his family so much. Sometimes he thought he'd never see them again. He longed to have Cecilie snuggled into his arms at night, or to have his son run in with his teddy. He heard horror stories of men leaving for was and coming back to find their woman in bed with another man. But that would never happen with Cece, and he knew that. He was afraid of missing his son or the other kids grow up. He wanted to be there for them. "I miss you guys so much," he murmured quietly.

Cecilie's gaze softened as she saw the look on his face. He seemed to be thinking about things just as much as she was, which she found slightly comforting. There wasn't a second of the day where she didn't miss having Jack there. Sometimes at night she'd wake up and expect to feel him beside her, but would open her eyes to find nothing. It was disappointing every time. She sighed softly and touched the screen where his face was with her fingertips. "I miss you too," she murmured, then added quietly, "We all do."

Jack sighed, looking into her eyes through the screen. "Um... I am really sorry to break this to you so suddenly, but I have to go fight tomorrow."

Cecilie's eyes widened and her heart sped up. "W-What?" she stammered. "Fight? In battle?" Her stomach dropped. "Oh God, don't you dare get hurt."

[bibliophile;]

''I am so sorry, baby. But I'll be okay,'' he promised her, watching her face.

[twofrogsinacoat]

Cecilie bit down on her lower lip and nodded slightly, though she wasn't the slightest bit comforted. "You'd better be. Or I'll come and hurt you again."
