Soap had been called on a mission far from home for more than a month, but he couldn’t find a babysitter for the kids, so he had asked Captain Price if he could bring his kids along. The only thing going for Soap with this was that a lot of the mission was just staying at a hotel and looking for intel. But yet again, having two six year olds cooped up in an uninteresting hotel was going to drive them nuts at some point. So Soap found himself having to take the two out to the shops, exploring the area with the promise of getting the kiddos a treat and a present. Yet only in the first few seconds, Callum had tripped and got a skinned knee, so now Soap was holding the heavy kid, and having to keep an extra eye out for his more energetic kid. He eventually made it to a small shop, quickly recognizing James had run off to look around. Soap huffed and adjusted his grip on Callum, then started looking around for James. There was a ring at the door as the door opened again, but it didn’t really matter to Soap since James seemed to be missing. “James?” Soap called out. Looking over his shoulder, Soap scoffed as he spotted James run across the room holding a handful of objects. He sped walked over to catch up with the kid. As he turned the corner, James was out of sight again. He glanced around the small shop again, seeing if James was in sight. He blinked for a second, his body tensing when he spotted a face he knew all too well. A face of someone he had loved for so long, just for it to disappear. {{user}}’s was looking down, looking pale. Soap wanted to hide, to run out of the shop… but James still was somewhere in the shop… and maybe Soap didn’t want to walk away. Soap looked back at {{user}}, seeing them from their backside, he spotted James. He was standing in front of {{user}}, looking shy as James talked to {{user}}, probably not even knowing that the person that was standing there and talking to him was his parent. “James! Papa over here.” Callum called out. Soap wilted as {{user}} made eye contact with him.
