Are you kidding? The cornier the better. I'm on the edge of my seat, too!
Woah, nearly fell off, there, but I'm okay! *Gets up and dusts herself off* Grrr, now I lost my train of thought; I'll post soon!

While on their way to the apartment to grab a few things for their honeymoon, Kim lays her head upon James' shoulder and inhales deeply the crisp smells of the blossoming flowers down the country road. The wind whips itself around their bodies as the top of the hood is down, and gives their first hour as husband and wife a fresh feel, smelling the sweet aroma of country air. Kim fixes her eyes onto James and positions herself upright. "Honey," she says softly, not wanting to interrupt the perfect moment but too curious to let it go any longer. "Yeah?" he responds, stealing a glance over at her and smiling sweetly. "Why did you pay 'Bill'?" she questions. They pull into a big fancy hotel; James stops the engine and walks around to her side, extending his hand. She places her hand in his and shakes her head, chuckling, as he closes the door behind her, "you still haven't answered my question." she says in disbelief. He walks her up to the hotel entrance and asks for a key at the entrance desk. Once the bellboy sees them to their room, on the 8th floor, Kim takes a deep sigh of frustration, but smiling playfully, still somewhat perturbed. "Are you ever going to answer me, Mr. James Braydon?" she stands in the hall, and places her hands on her hips. James smirks and leans in for a kiss, but lifts her up into his arms instead. "I will in a minute, Mrs. Braydon." he smiles innocently and raises a brow as he leans in and kisses her passionately. How could she argue with that? She pulls away slowly and gazes into his eyes. Before she can say anything, James swings the hotel door open and stands at a halt with her laying in his arms. "Oh James! You're going to walk me across the threshold!" she gasps excitedly. "I'm sorry it couldn't be our home, but this is the best I can do...for now." he says softly, with a hint of sadness. "I don't need a home. Just so long as I'm with you, you'll always be my home." She wraps her arms around his neck and smiles. He walks into the room and carries her to the bedroom. On the way, she gasps. "James! James!" she stutters, unable to get the words out of her mouth. "What?" he lays her down on the bed. She jumps up and runs to the main room to find all her belongings placed nicely and neatly in order of the setting. "It's all here! All my stuff! It's--" she looks to him quickly, in shock. He walks up to her and places his arms around her waist. "I couldn't keep you in that run down shack. So when I got your letter I sold all my cigarettes and even a couple medals so we could have enough money saved up to live comfortably. And once I got into town I told my pal Bill to move all your things here --" "You sold your medals? James, isn't that against the law?" Kim interrupts, worried. "No," he laughs. "I only sold my old ones." He pulls her in close and runs his fingertips along the outline of her face. "Should we try this again?" he laughs. She nods happily as he lifts her into his arms and walks her to the bedroom.
That evening as the two lay in bed giggling and talking about their bright future, James dances and swirls his fingertips across her hand, sending shivers and goosebumps throughout her whole body. "I'll get you a better ring." he says, gazing down at her ring finger. "No, I really don't need one, James, I love this one." she says sweetly, raising her head to meet his gaze. He begins to remove the cigar band from her finger. "No, darling, please don't. Without...without this band I wouldn't have proof of belonging to you-- and I so desperately want to belong only to you; I want people to know that. ...Please." She pleads softly. He places it back on her finger and seals it with his kiss. "I love you." he says, pushing her hair aside from her shoulders and caressing her neck gently with his thumb. They get interrupted by the phone ringing next to their bedside. James takes a deep, frustrated sigh as Kim goes to answer it. "Let it ring. We're not here..." James says playfully, kissing her neck. Kim giggles and picks it up, "Hello? Oh yes sir, here he is." Kim hands the phone to James stiffly. He picks it up and looks to her with a slight smile. "Hello? Yes--yes sir, I understand." his smile vanishes quickly and he gets up, walking to the main room, away from Kim's hearing range. After a few moments of worrisome anticipation, Kim perks at the sound of the door creeking opening. James walks in and lays the phone down on the cradle harshly. "What's wrong?" Kim inquires softly. He pauses then looks to her. "My leave was canceled; I have to go back to base immediately."

Oh Kim that was so sweet and sad.
*With Angie having the day off, she and Jim slept late and when they did awaken they stayed in bed for a while and talked.*
Jim: You know, I just thought of something funny. We're married and I don't even know your middle name.
Angie: *laughing* It's Gail.
Jim: Mine's Samuel. Well I'm glad we got that out of the way *he said snuggling up closer to his new bride*. Do you have any hobbies?
Angie: Um let's see, I like to read and write short stories. Oh and I love going to the movies.
Jim: I bet I can guess your favorite actor. Now let me see. *He put his hand to his forehead and rubbed it pretending to think hard*. You strike me as a Cary Grant kinda girl.
Angie: Oh yeah, he's alright but my favorite is Gary Cooper (I had to do it girls - ha!)
Jim: Oh, well I guess he's pretty good.
Angie: So what are your hobbies?
Jim: Well I like to hunt and fish and just outdoor stuff. I even know how to do a little taxidermy. My dad taught me before he died.
Angie: How long have your parents been gone?
Jim: My dad passed about five years ago and my mom died three years later. They were older when they had me and both died from natural causes. They wanted more kids but were only able to have me. They were really great though but I've always hoped that I would have kids younger than they did so I could stick around for a while.
Angie: So you do want kids? *she said hopefully*
Jim: Oh yeah, definitely. You do too right?
Angie: Yep, I do too *she said grabbing his nose and pinching it playfully*.
*Jim's stomach began growling loudly so they decided to get up and Jim went down to the cafe and got them breakfast from Mrs. Joliet. Angie didn't want to wear her uniform so she left the beautiful nightgown on that Jim had given her. They spent a beautiful day together getting to know more specific things about each other and realizing how truly in love they were. But, later that evening, there was a knock at the door and Angie's heart sunk when she heard it. She hid in the bedroom while Jim talked to one of his men. Word had come in that their division would be headed out the next morning to do more repair work near the front lines. Angie heard every word and when Jim saw the broken hearted look on her face as she came out of the bedroom he knew he didn't need to tell her. He walked over to her and slowly they put their arms around each other and stood there for a long while embracing.*

Packing is the last thing that James Braydon wants to do. It's our honeymoon! he mumbles to himself as he angrily makes his way toward the drawer to pull out his uniform and pack his few belongings. Why this week? Why now? He shakes his head and takes a deep sigh of frustration. "Can I help with anything?" Kim asks, trying to keep her head about her. "No." James replies, setting down his shirts and turning toward her. "I'm sorry this had to happen, if there was some way I could get out of it, you know I'd tak--" "I know" she smiles, running her fingers through his hair gently and tracing them behind his ear, "but I'll be here waiting; waiting for you to come back to me; safely...in my arms." she stops herself quickly and looks up, pretending to wipe a piece of dust from her eye, but only, yet another helpless tear. James pulls her into his embrace and hugs her tightly. She throws her arms around his neck and begins to sob heavily. "I'll come back, you know I will." he assures her in a soft whisper, but cringes because he knows the future doesn't always go as planned, and even he has no control. She lifts her head from his chest and gazes deeply into his eyes, "I have something for you." she smiles weakly, sniffing back the tears and wiping her watery eyes. She walks into the next room and opens a drawer, then reaches into her dress pocket and takes out the item. She closes the drawer and walks back out to him. "I want you to have this." she holds out a locket in her hands and unclasps it. He leans his head foreword as she ties it around his neck. He opens it to find his favorite picture of her, smiling, as if only at him. He kisses it and holds it tightly in his fist, placing it next to his heart. He leans foreword to kiss her but gets interrupted by a knock at the door. They both fix their eyes toward the door, then onto each other. They smile and lean in for that passionate kiss, then Kim walks to the door and opens it to find another officer in a uniform. "Hello ma'am" the man says as he takes his military hat off and holds it to his chest. "Hello." she smiles politely. "I'm looking for a Captain James Braydon." he says. Kim opens the door wider as James walks up and shakes the man's hand. "I'm James Braydon." he replies somewhat harshly and loudly, to take the man's gaze off his wife. The man looks up, back at attention. "You have commands to meet General Foster down at the airport at 0800 hours." the man says almost mechanically, relaying the message then tips his hat to James and walks off. James slams the door and pauses, taking a deep sigh and looking at his watch. Meanwhile Kim is in her room. He walks into the bedroom and leans up against the door frame and watches her pack his bag. "You don't have to do that, Kim." he says softly, with a mind that's numb and a body that's ready to break down and sob. Kim sniffs back a couple tears but tries not to make it known. "It's all right, I don't mind." she peers over her shoulder and smiles, then continues to pack. He walks over to her and spins her around, holding her trembling body in his strong embrace and hugging her tightly. "I love you so much, Kim" he says, clenching his teeth, holding everything back and trying to stay strong for her. " Oh James!" she buries her head into his chest and clings to him with everything that's in her. After a moment, James breaks away and grabs his suitcase. He wipes his face, though trying not to show his tears, and walks to the door quickly, closing it behind him. Kim quickly follows but stops short at the door, seconds before he closes it. She leans up against that heavy wooden door and puts her head in her hands, wailing. James stands on the other side of the door and hangs his head, balling up his fist and knocking it against the wall gently out of anger in having to leave his new bride for a dangerous battlefield in an unfamiliar country. Back in the room as the tears continue to stream down Kim's face, she makes her way slowly toward the bedroom. She hears the door open and turns around to see James face, stained with tears. Her eyes brighten up as he walks toward her and picks her up, carrying her to the door. She looks at him in confusion and disbelief. "We're gonna have a honeymoon in the trenches of Italy." he says, keeping his eyes on the door, as if on a mission. She throws her arms around him and hugs him closely as he turns off the lights and closes the door.

Very romantic Kim!!
*Jim pulled away from Angie and looked down into her eyes that were beginning to well up with tears and smiled.*
Jim: Well we've got the rest of the night together and I don't want to waste a minute of it.
*He took her hand and they walked into the bedroom. Jim sat down on the edge of the bed and pulled her down onto his lap and put his arms around her.*
Jim: I'm sorry this hasn't been much of a honeymoon and now it's being cut short.
Angie: I wish you'd stop apologizing *she said caressing his face*. It's been perfect and we knew it couldn't go on forever.
Jim: I'm sorry *he said and then chuckled realizing he was apologizing again*. I just want to give you the best of everything and I haven't even been able to give you a wedding ring. *He picked up her left hand and kissed her finger where the ring should be.*
Angie: Well you can give me one when we get home.
*She leaned in to kiss him and he gently lowered her down until her head rested on the pillow with soft moonlight streaming in through the window.*
*When morning came Angie put her uniform on and tried to get back into the mindset of a nurse and not a young bride. Jim was dressed and almost ready to go when she came out of the bedroom. He put his coat on and noticed a button was coming loose. Angie found a small sewing kit in a drawer of the desk and began to sew the button back on*.
Jim: The company's forming outside.
Angie: I'm hurrying darling.
Jim: *put his hand on her cheek and she kissed his palm* That's alright, just let it go *he said sweetly*.
Angie: It won't take but just a second longer. I can't let my Captain Baker go out this way. Oh! *she said as she pricked her finger with the needle.*
Jim: Did it hurt? *he took her hand and kissed her finger* Better?
Angie: Uh huh.
Jim: I'll get you a wound strip for that.
Angie: No thanks, let's not have any wound stripes in our family please. *She finished sewing on the button*. Now what?
Jim: The belt.
*Angie got his belt with his gun holster and helped him put it on.*
Angie: Couldn't you take me with you? Can't you put me in your pocket or something? *she leaned against him and rested her head on his chest*.
Jim: No, you'd get all covered in tobacco crumbs.
Angie: I wouldn't care if I did. I'd be very good and not make a sound.
Jim: I love you.
Angie: I love you too.
*He bent down and kissed her very sweetly and then grabbed his helmet and walked towards the door*.
Jim: Goodbye darling.
*Once he was gone Angie stood there in the little livingroom and after a few moments sunk down to the floor. She thought she would cry but the tears didn't come. She was too worried about him and was just somewhat stunned that their wonderful three days together were really over*.
