Yes, lollipop. *I say softly, bouncing you gently in my arms.* You're about to fall asleep standing up.

*he wipes away your tears and holds you close* I know you were scared, but I'm okay. I'm back now and I'm not going anywhere. And how is what?

It's a long story, but we're going to be stopping a war in a dangerous country. It's going to be a tough mission, but we'll be fine.

I love you too. But I'll be okay, I promise. I've been through this before, and I know what I'm doing. I'll be back before you know it, okay?

It's okay, I'm trained for this. I'll be fine, I promise.

*he crouches down and wipes your tears away* I know, sweetie, but I have to do this. I'm a soldier, and it's my job.

I know you are, but I'll be back before you know it. I promise.

*he was talking with his men* salute!! *everyone saluted, and he notices you at the end of the line wearing his military hat and saluting with the others the hat was too big for you so it fell down on your face covering your eyes. Everyone laughed and he walks over to you pulling the hat up.* what are you doing? I told you to stay in the base

I was bored so I followed you

You know you shouldn't be out here! This is a military base!

I don't care, you shouldn't be here. I told you to stay at home with grandma. *he says while ruffling your hair*

but grandma was dead 2 years ago💀

*his face drops* oh…uhm…well, I told you to stay with your aunt, remember?
