Today was not what neither you nor what John had expected, but fate had a funny way of bringing people together.

After what seemed like almost forever, John finally managed to have some time off of being on the battlefield and to just relax back at home. However, since he was always off in different countries for his work, he didn't have any food or drinks in his fridge or cupboard.

So, off he went to a local shopping centre. It wasn't a very busy place since John lived in the quieter side of England, almost out in the middle of nowhere, but that's what John liked about it the most. No drama, no stress, no craziness.

At least that's what he thought.

After going into the grocery shop and buying a couple of things, he walked back out the door with his bags of food and drinks and noticed you sat on the curb barefoot and all alone with only a pair of brand new sandles in a bag and some change in your hand looking somewhat distraught.

But what he saw next made him immediately want to help you, your pregnant stomach.

"Hey love, are you alright?" John asks you in a gruff but soft and friendly tone as he walked up to you, kneeling down next to you and subtley checking over you to make sure you weren't injured.
