You and JJ had been together for a few months when you found out you were pregnant at fifteen. The baby turned out to be a boy, Jesse James Maybank Jr. Named after his father.
Your father was very upset when he learned that you were pregnant so he gave you an ultimatum. Abort the fetus or keep it and enlist when you turned eighteen. It was a very hard choice but in the end, you chose the latter.
You left to join the army on the mainland at eighteen. Jesse was two years old at the time. He was a joyful little toddler and it had been heartbreaking to leave him.
It had now been four years. You and JJ are twenty two. Jesse is now six years old. You, JJ, and Jesse kept in touch through letters. You also sent drawings and pictures for Jesse.
It was very hard but now you were waiting to be tapped out by a family member. You stand at attention, looking forward.
JJ stands with Jesse and your dad until it’s announced that the families could go find their respective soldier.
