Side note, this story takes place in the times of WW2.

Reader POV

At this point in my life I was worried sick for my loving husband. Out there fighting in WWll. I take the tiny necklace that I wear upon my neck and run my thumb over the familiar smooth feeling of the small pearl. Mark gave it to me for our first anniversary last year. Its getting near our anniversary again and I wish he was home. The last time I spoke to him he was taking his leave to go back and fight. 2 years ago he asked me to marry him as soon as he got off the train coming home from where he was fighting. I remember the day.

{Flashback}

I had gotten dressed in my favorite knee high red polka dotted dress did my makeup, making sure my hair looked at its best for him. Soon after I got ready, I walked out of my parents' home and went on my way, catching a taxi to get to the train station faster. I couldn't help but smile widely at the thought of hugging the man of my dreams.

When I got to the train station I hopped out of the taxi and sat on a bench waiting for the train to pull in. I check my watch tapping my heels against the concrete ground impatiently. I pout as a few more moments pass and check my watch, only to hear a train horn and the rumble from the light shake of the heavy train entering the station. My eyes perk up and I stand from my seat, watching as other crowd the station, the rush of wind as it pulls in blowing the skirt of my dress to push against my right leg.

I stand for a few minutes until I am hugged from behind and turned around. As soon as I see who it is I hug him and kiss him on the lips. Hug hugs my waist picking me up slightly and leans his forehead on mine. I smile and nuzzle into his chest. When he pulls away I pout but he takes my one hand and kneels on one knee, I smile at him and look down only for my face to become shocked as he pulls out a small ring box and holds it in his hand.

"(Y/N) (L/N) I have missed you more than anyone else in my life while I was gone. I never wanted to leave the last time I saw you. It has been too long since I have seen you. I love you so much. I want you to be with me forever, I never want to come back to anyone else, only you are my truest love. So I ask if you will make me so happy and marry me?" I gaze at his slightly teary eyes and nod my head.

"Yes Mark! I will marry you!" He hands me the ring which I put on and admire for a moment then look to him He stands and picks me up bridal style and kisses me. I almost didn't notice the people standing around us cheering for the loving moment.

"Let's go home baby." He says with a smile I love to see.

{End of Flashback}

My thoughts go back to that moment as I sit in our little home. Although he isn't here I know he will be some day. I don't notice the little tears that make their way to my eyes and drop onto my palms that sit in my lap. I sit there until I hear a knock at the white painted front door and walk over to it while wiping my eyes. I open the door and look up shocked to see who was standing there. He waves meekly and chuckles at my shocked state. I move forward abruptly and wrap my arms around him catching him off guard and making him laugh and hug me back, in my current state I laugh smile and cry all at once.

"Mark! I missed you so much! How did you get home? Why didn't you tell me you were coming home!?" I spout out almost sounding like an absurd mumbling.

"I wanted to surprise you sweet heart! Why are you crying?" To which he takes me in his arms and lays butterfly kisses all over my face.

"Because I missed you so much! No one can compare to the love of your significant other." We walk into our little home and close the door. He takes off of his pack and his coat, then we go and sit on the couch together, not caring about anything else aside from each other. He las on the couch and gestures for me to lay on top of him, so I do snuggling with him trying to make up for the lost time due to this cursed war going on.

"You want to know something fantastic Love?" Mark almost whispers out in my ear.

"What's that?" I ask back looking up at his face while he gingerly plays with my hair.

"I don't have to go back, they are letting me go. My last doctor visit showed I have a weaker heart. So, it was a miracle I didn't die by the extensive work I was doing. I will never leave you ever again." I smile so wide after he finishes his sad but wonderful statement.

"You and I can be together truly again." I say tearing up with tears of joy. Nothing but love shining in my eyes. "There is nothing more I would want from you. You being here is the best thing in the world. I am sad that they found you have a weak heart, for it ruins things for the future. That given, you are here now and you don't have to go back. You and I can have the chance to have kids and have a fulfilling life." Trying not to full on cry I finish saying what needed to be said.

"When I left, I felt like there was a void in my heart. I knew there was work to be done here with you. I hated being away because I couldn't do my job of protecting you and serving as your husband. You are the light of my life and I want to stay with you forever. I hated getting back on that train again and leaving you here." He says and places a few chaste kisses on my forehead. I smile at the feeling of him and I being so close again. I missed this greatly.

"I am glad you surprised me. I really wanted to see you and I starting to think about catching a train to your base. But the logical side in me said no. I am glad you are home." I said and kissed him deeply not wanting to let the moment we have together go, him being gone for so long made me so sad and I couldn't sleep most nights, but now I have my wonderful husband by my side again and can live life peacefully without worrying whether he will be coming home or not. This world is full of Love and Wars.
