Story Of My Life Part 7
Kind of short, I know.
James walked through the front door for once instead of through the garage like he normally did. He set his ABU hat on the table and sat down at the kitchen table. Having heard him come in, Kitty came out from the Nursery with Nicarga latched to one of her breasts suckling away at her mother's milk. The wolf couldn't help but smile despite his frustration looking at one of his new pups and his mate. He stood up and kissed Kitty on softly on the lips and his pup on the head.
"Where's the other two?" he asked her.
"Asleep, changed them and feed them already," she replied, sitting down at the table when James pulled a chair out for her. She studied his face carefully as she petted her feeding kitten. "Something's wrong, James. What is it?"
James swallowed, sucking back his tears, not wanting to break down in front of her. "Tell you when you put her to sleep. Ok?" Kitty nodded and the wolf stood up and went to their bedroom. He sat down on the edge of the bed and buried his face in his paws. It was only a few minutes that he sat there alone till Kitty came in alone, Nicarga obviously having gone back to sleep. She walked over to the baby monitor before sitting down next to James.
"What's wrong, love?" Kitty asked, hugging him.
James reached into his ABU jacket and pulled out the deployment letter and handing it to her. "In two weeks, their deploying me to an undisclosed place in the Middle East to assist in the building of a new military base." He looked away from his mate and stared at the wall as tears started to fill his eyes. "I don't want to go, Kitten, but if I don't I will get into serious trouble and possibly discharged dishonorably which would fuck me up for life." Tears came fully to his eyes as Kitty hugged him tightly again.
She rubbed his head as he cried against her. "I will manage, James," she whispered, barely able to hold back her own tears. "Dad, I'm sure will be willing to help, along with my sister and several friends. It . . . it will be hard, but I can survive."
James stood up, wiping his tears away and knelt before his mate. "I don't want to wait any longer than we have to, Kitten. If I found us a priest to do it, would you marry me before I leave?"
Kitty laughed sadly and licked her mate as she purred. "I already told you I would marry you, silly. Doesn't matter if we do it now or wait for twenty years from now, the answer will always be yes." The wolf smiled and hugged his mate and kissed her, climbing on top of the bed pinning her down. He kissed her gently.
"I love you," he whispered to her.
She smiled and started to reply when a cry came over the monitor. James could only laugh as he got off of her. "Looks like Lethero needs a change."
"You can tell that?"
"Mother's instincts," she said with a smile and walked out to tend to her pup.
