"Y/N! I've got exiting news!"
I yelled within seconds of entering my house.

"What is it mon amour?! I'm in the bedroom!"

I jogged up the stairs and swung our bedroom door open. I kicked it closed and went to sweep my wife off her feet.

Literally.

It was getting harder to lift Y/N and swing her around the room every day.
I suppose I should expect it; she's pregnant, and women shouldn't be getting any lighter at this time.

Her laughter flooded the room as I peppered her face with kisses and placed her lightly on the bed.

"Bonjour, Mon amour, ma douce, ma reine, ma colombe, mon-"

"I know that trick, laf. What did you do?"
Y/N crossed her arms and sent me a playful glare.

I held my hands up in surrender and spoke.

"I've been exposé!"

"Well then? Aller de l'avant!"

"I have signed up and been selected for the war!"

Her face fell
"What?"

"Ill be going on a ship to America for the war. Y a t'il un problème?"

Y/N only looked at me with a blank gaze. Her mouth shifted a few times, trying to figure out what to say.

"Y/N...?"

"I... I... Oh god how do I say this calmly...?"

"Say it in a soft voice?"

"Good idea."
She cleared her throat and took a deep breath.

"Have you lost your damn mind?"

I don't know what else I had been expecting Y/N to say.
"Non! Why would you say that?"
I snapped back

She took my hand and placed it on her swollen stomach, looking at me expectantly.

Confused, I copied her expression.

There was a few moments of silence before she sighed

"You're so oblivious..."

"Quelle?"

"War? A baby? I don't think so."

"I'll be back!"

"-but there's a chance that you won't be! I don't want to raise this child alone, Gilbert!"

I pretended to gasp in shock. If there's one thing I knew about Y/N, it's that she cracks easily when people get upset at her.

"Y-Y/N... You never call me Gilbert... are you really that mad?" I gave her my biggest puppy dog eyes and she melted under them.

But her expression hardened.

"Yes I am really that mad. It's been around eight months since I found out that we're having a baby and I am about to pop! Do you understand the consequences of leaving me here? If you die, I'm stuck here all alone as a widow and I'll have to marry anyone I can get my hands on! Can you imagine me at an altar with someone who is not y-"

I cut off her rant with a kiss

"Believe in me, and maybe god will show mercy."

"If  you don't come back alive I'll kill you."

"That makes no s-"

"Hear what I mean, not what I say."
Y/N replied, lightly tapping the tip of my nose before standing up and opening the door.

"Now come on. I have to make these days with you last as long as possible!"
