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.

"Told you I'd never leave you again," he whispers against her ear, kissing her tempe and her cheek, then capturing her lips in another soft kiss.

"You won't get a chance at him, I'll get to him first," he says sincerely.

"I missed you, too, baby," he breathes out, stroking his fingers across her bare shoulder, hating that she's in pain right now with her arm. He kisses her forehead tenderly, breathing her in. "So fucking much."

He smiles softly, quietly asking, "Is she...so she forgives me?"

Damien smiles a little when he hears that, a grin on his face because he knows his baby is proud of him on some level. "I can't wait to see her tomorrow."

Damien smiles tearfully, nodding at her in the dark. "Okay. I will. Thank you, baby. Fucking...thank you. For everything. I'm home now, I promise."

"I know we can," he agrees with her, nuzzling her hand, kissing her palm and then just pressing his forehead to hers as he closes his eyes.

"I love you, Juliet," he whispers right back. When he wakes up in the morning, he kisses her face softly all over, fingers stroking her cheek. Able to see her in the sunlight, she takes his breath away, though his heart aches anew to see the bruises on her.

"I hardly slept without you," he whispers to her, his thumb stroking over her forehead tenderly. He presses a soft kiss to her shoulders and then lets his hand wander down to stroke over the slight swell of her belly. Then he shifts, kissing that swell, his heart aching in the best way to know their little girl is growing in there.
inthewar: (twenty three;)

He kisses her belly again before shifting to kiss her lips, cradling her cheek in his hand. "No more sleeping alone, baby."

He clears his throat. "Michael...he's making it look like I died, Jules. He's gonna come by soon, and you have to sign my paperwork. I'll be legally dead to all those fuckers finally," he tells her softly. "They can't come after me anymore."

"Yeah," he smirks a little. "He fucking owes it to us."

"There's something else," he grins as he sits up a little, propping up on his elbow. "We're fucking rich, baby. Found a stash of diamonds. It's millions of dollars, Jules. We're set for life."
