Y/n felt her heart leap into her throat at her husbands words. Her mind quickly spiraling into panic. Her worst fears all bubbled to the surface at the knowledge that her support system would soon be leaving her and their unborn child alone and with the ever present possibility of never returning. At seeing his wife's reaction Jake wasted no time crossing the floor to her and guiding her carefully into a kitchen chair.
"Baby it's okay. I need you to take a deep breath and try to calm down okay? It's not good for Levi for you to get so worked up. It's going to be okay Bug, I promise." With both her hands gripping onto his forearms as he knelt in front of her she slowly took a few calming deep breaths to steady herself before responding,
"What if something happens to you? What if you don't come home? What if your not back in time for the birth? I can't do this alone Jake not this.." he pushed a piece of hair back behind her ear and pressed his palm to her cheek that she immediately leaned into.
"It's all going to be okay Bug. We'll call Rooster, I know he'd be glad to come stay with you until I'm back which I'm sure will be in no time. And you'll have Gunner here with you too, between the two of them you know nothing bad will happen to you or Levi okay?" Looking into the green eyes staring back at her she slowly nodded,
"Okay, okay. We'll be okay. But you'd better not miss the birth of our son Jake I'm serious." He chuckled and pressed a kiss to her lips,
"I won't miss the birth honey I promise I'll do everything I can to make it back here in record time."
While Shadow made her way up the stairs to their room to get changed, Hangman picked up his cellphone and made a call to his wingman.
"Hangman to what do I owe the pleasure?" The blonde man smiled at his friends voice,
"Bradshaw. Well I need a favor, it's not really for me it's for Y/n.." he barely got the words out of his mouth before his friend replied,
"What's wrong? Is she okay? What do you need?" Jake smiled at Shadow reappearing in the kitchen and digging through the fridge likely in search of a snack.
"She's fine Rooster, I'm being deployed next week. New admiral trying to flex his muscles I guess, went over Cyclones head. Anyway I need someone to stay with my girl and make sure she's okay until I get back. Can you handle that for me?" He bent forward to kiss her forehead as she pressed herself against his body,
"Of course. When do you need me there?"
