You had been teaching first graders for a few years now, but what you didn't expect was when you came home from a busy day around a ton if kids, to an empty house. All John did was leave you a letter, telling you though how much he loved you he was ranked to a Captain now, and he had to go on an emergency deployment that would take a few weeks.

Your husband loved you dearly, and you loved him... But his constant deployments took a minor toll on you. Mostly due to your busy work day and getting home to be alone when all you want is to curl up next to your loved one. But yayyy, teacher appreciation week has finally rolled around. Your little first grade students had been giving you gifts and staying inside for recess to make them for you. Those kids loved you, and you saw them like your own.

John didn't want kids, it was another thing his heart would ache to even think of parting with. He already was obsessed with you as it was, but a little you running around? Lord he would love her to bits. But that's the thing, he has to prioritize one thing, and its between the military family he already has, or the one he could make with you. But he couldn't pick one life over the other.

He had finally been let off of deployment, but knowing you had work instead of going home he went to see you. The principal in secretary knew he was going to come see you, so it wasn't a big deal when he walked into the school with his military gear. The principal led him to your class and opened the door, be stepped to the side so you couldn't see him. The principal spoke up, "Well, I'm sorry to interrupt but I have something very important to say to you..." She walked into the classroom and in walked John after her, full uniform.

Obviously the students didn't know who it was and had been very interested, and when John wrapped his arms around you in a tight hug as you cried into his shoulder, your students giggled and whispered to eachother. John would whisper so softly, "Fuck, I missed you, baby..."
