One month after the battle, the battalion had stabilized their fighting positions. Milano and Eric had been working in conjunction with Riemskin to man the encampments.
Eric sat down at the table, tired after another long day of running back and forth from Esponia to Hood hill. "Ya know, that drive takes about one hour without a slow ass convoy in the way. Today I got stuck behind Echo again, and it took two fucking hours!" He grumbled.
Mia laughed while handing him a beer. "Relax love. It will be done soon."
The two went silent as she leaned her head on his. He kissed the baby bump, holding her stomach up gently. "I can't wait to meet you, Aliza."
Mia turned to face him. "You know the baby is going to be a boy, right?" Eric shook his head. "Absolutely not. It will be Aliza." Mia chuckled and held his hand as Jessica walked into the room. "Hey Eric, can I borrow some money?"
Eric and Mia shared a look, eyebrows arching together.
"And why do you need to borrow money?"
