Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you

Juliet Scott was married for five years. Three of them were good. She was young, Damien was too. They were in love and carefree; had fun and had a lot of sex, traveled to a lot of places. She'd been on track to start med school but when she met Damien, she wanted him instead, and she thought she'd always choose him over everything.

Until she got pregnant.

He stuck around for a few months but then, conveniently his job took him away and the stretches of time between being home and being gone were longer. He was never a bad dad to Mia, not once, but it was like a chore to be home, to be a husband and civilian again. Juliet missed him but she tried to talk to him about it and it was a fight, every time. He had a job, he had missions, he couldn't just give that up. So she decided a year and a half ago to not make him choose anymore. She sent him divorce papers, certified mail, with a letter explaining to him that she was tired of feeling like she and Mia weren't a priority. Like he didn't want to be there when he was back in the states. She wasn't surprised when she got the signed paperwork back with no note in response.

She and Mia have been solo ever since, the two of them moving to Miami to be closer to Juliet's sister. Med school finally happens, and now Juliet's an intern and Mia is five. It's been hard, harder than Juliet ever thought she'd have to do on her own, but she's doing it. She's never told Damien he can't be a part of Mia's life, she's never tried to keep him away from her. When she moves, she makes sure someone in his branch of the military, wherever he is, gets her address. She's not even angry at him anymore, just sad that it ended this way between them.

He really, really fucked up, and he just nods a little, sighing as he sits up. "Thanks."

He really has no idea what he's going to do, at all, but he better figure it out fast because if he leaves again, it's just another fucking promise he broke to his little girl. Too many of them.

When he has some time alone with just Juliet, Damien speaks quietly. "She's so happy. Because of me. Just because I'm staying."

He crosses his arms over his chest, looking down at the floor. "No. I had no idea. I was a fucking idiot because I didn't know."

[personal profile] inthewar 2017-05-01 06:34 pm (UTC)(link)
"I know. I haven't...figured it all out yet. I don't know where I'm gonna go," he says quietly.
inthewar: (five;)

[personal profile] inthewar 2017-05-01 06:39 pm (UTC)(link)
"You really think that's the best idea?" He can't imagine he's her favorite person.
inthewar: (fifty five;)

[personal profile] inthewar 2017-05-01 11:08 pm (UTC)(link)
She has a point, of course. All he could afford would be a Motel Six or something, and there's no way he'd take Mia there.

"Alright. But look, I promise I won't...get in your way."
inthewar: (five;)

[personal profile] inthewar 2017-05-01 11:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Damien shrugs a little, rubbing a hand through his hair. "Fair enough. How's Rachel? Hanging in there?"
inthewar: (one;)

[personal profile] inthewar 2017-05-01 11:35 pm (UTC)(link)
"Fuck," he breathes out, sitting down on the couch now, folding his hands together. "Fuck, Jules. What do you need?"
inthewar: (seven;)

[personal profile] inthewar 2017-05-01 11:48 pm (UTC)(link)
He's sure he's the last person Juliet really needs or even wants to lean on for support, but he makes the offer anyway. "If you need me there, just say the word."
inthewar: (forty eight;)

[personal profile] inthewar 2017-05-02 12:00 am (UTC)(link)
"I know I wasn't thinking when I said it, but...she was scared and she came to me and when she asked if I was leaving again...fuck. I couldn't. I couldn't. I wanted to say anything to make her feel better."

He lifts his head and just takes a deep breath.

"Get some sleep."
inthewar: (ten;)

[personal profile] inthewar 2017-05-02 12:16 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. Good at saying things to make someone feel better. Following through with actions? Not so much. And he knows it.

He goes to check on Mia, kneeling next to her bed and stroking her hair a little, kissing her temple before he goes to bed.

[personal profile] inthewar 2017-05-02 12:32 am (UTC)(link)
"Fuck. Okay. I'll get her," he nods into the phone, even knowing Juliet can't see him. "Hang in there, Jules."
