The Scandals of Vera

Chapter 40- Home is him

September 28 1940
Tommy was sent to stay longer because of news of Nazi occupation in denmark and norway then most of france, every night of the month i stayed with my doors locked, singing,  ... but today is the day in which he will be coming home "ready?" Cat say with her finger still interlocking with mine
"They're here!" A women yelled and soon a train followed into the tunnel

The women rushed to the side of tbe door and the men start spilling out. Wives, mothers, fathers, daughter and soon cryinn and huggin the men, i kept pushig past everyone "Tommy! Tommy!" I yell over everyone and there he is my heart stops and so does my world.

"Vera" his deep raspy voice, my feet are stuck to the ground and i just need to move "T-tommy..." i can feel salty tears rolling down my cheeks and smile, he runs pushing everyone out of his way, finally i feel those warm large hands once more grip onto my hips pushing me onto his, his soft plump lips connect to mine and i hear a flash from Lilly but i cant help but melt into his arms "shhh, Im here" he wipes away my tears "its been a year" he tilts his head "almost" he smiles casting down his ice blue eyes back at me.

"Alright love birds time for this kid to give us a hug!" Cat says and hugs him and soon followed Lilly, Cat and Tommy had a good friendship they soon grew fonder of one another from the letters they sent, of course it platonic though.

"Let's get to the car?" I say and they all nod, we slide into the car and Tommy places his luggage in the trunk of the car, "alright so you haven't seen the house and i promise you'll love it" i say and start the engine and take off, "well of course you guys will live here once the war is done"Lilly adds "how long do you think it will be tommy" cat asks "what does?" He looks away from me "the war" his breath get caught in his throat, "no more war talk, he's been here for just short of 30 mins he just left the battle ground" i snap

"Its fine love, i dont know to be brutally honest i dont think we'll win" the whole car went silent "i mean they already took france" he says and places his warm hand on my bare knee "what about America" Lilly says "what about them" he scoffs

"Wont they feel obligated to join" Lilly answers "this is America, they only joined the great war when we started to win the whole thing, but we do get a few volunteers here and there from America but not enough" he sighs out
"So um i see Lilly you have quiet the baby bump" he smiles back at her, she about 8 months in
"Yeah im due in a couple weeks" she rubs her belly "i have a feeling ill have twins" she smiles down at her bump.

"Well i hope your taking good care of them because sam has not stopped sending me letters, whats theyre name gonna be" he turns his body to the backseat, tommy was a ot maybe still is a gangster but he is a gentleman and a good friend to certain people
"I'm still not sure to be honest maybe George if its a boy or Sara if its a girl" she looks up at him

"We're here" i say
