The Best For Both Of Us
…Isabella POV…
I never have since Clayton, apart from our wedding day, so happy the past few days. We have been going through endless catalogs ordering things for the boy's room. He is going beyond what is needed, but I am letting het do what he wants. He deserves this after everything that I have put him through with the uncertainty that laid over his head.
I can say, and I honestly believe so, that our marriage is completely back to where it was before this mess. As for Luke, he seems to have completely disappeared out of our lives.
I am happy; even though I am very ill, I am happy.
…Clayton POV…
I have never been so happy in my life before. Things between Isabella and me are back to where we were. It feels good to be a couple and almost a family.
She has been getting very sick. She will tell you that it is not as bad, but it is. She finds herself in the bathroom at least every hour. She finds it hard to get out

…Isabella POV…This morning when I woke up, you had already left for training with the boys. I so wished that you just had stayed one little while longer so that we could figure this thing out that is hanging in the air between us.How is it that there is always something throw in our way of happiness?Yes, being a Marine brings you joy, but can you not see that just wanting to be your wife is something that I also crave. I love being the wife of a Marine, but between you and me…I love being just a normal wife the most.And what I would want the most is being for us to be normal parents. I would love for my child to have a dad, not the dad that is the Marine.I know that if I say this, then I am being selfish and what I am about even to ask, yet, even more, say is perhaps being worse than plain damn nasty.As you left this morning, I began to think about the way things were when we first met. We were so much in love; the
The Marine Next Door II Tripping Through Love
Seriously, fuck you. I have had enough.Imagine me coming home from training with the boys, in a very upbeat mood, and looking forward to seeing my wife with our little baby bump.But ya…All I find is a little note saying that she has left.I am tired of losing Isabella.Around every corner, there is a hole that I need to trip through…and…I have had enough.I once believed I knew what love is.Isabella Jackson…I was satisfied with a mediocre life, a mediocre relationship. You know, the same old, same old – "He cares about me, I care about him";"I will never find anything better than this." stuff.All that fucking bullshit.I actually thought that I had found my 'forever after.' The person I'll eventually end up with.Isabella came into my life and changed my whole existence from its core. From the very first moment our eyes met, I knew there was something
The Marine Next Door II Knocked With A Bang
I am sitting with my back against the door, just having read a note that Isabella left."If you are reading this, it means I am not here."Well, ya that I can damn well see.And what else I can damn well do, is not breathe.So I crumple up the note and toss it into the bin. My heart is ripped away in shatters as I burst into tears. But then behind me, I hear a loud…BANG.…as someone is kicking at the door. Well, I hope that they have a good reason for banging around here at this time in the morning.So as I take my time to go to answer the door, the banging only but becomes more persistently. Now I have no idea if I should be crying or be mad at the present moment. With one last wipe from the sleeve of my shirt, I dry the tears that are still threatening to come.Then, slowly but utterly angry, I fling the door open."What do you…Huh? Why are…?" my words only but mumble as I try to make
The Marine Next Door II Caught In A Lie
It is with great disbelief and a rather dropped jaw that I am looking as Isabella as that word comes from those lips. Now I do know that I can be rather absent-minded at the best of times; if it is not about the Marines, well, then I am not fairly interested. But I will for certain remember if I had a mother-in-law somewhere in existence.So not trying to sound too hysterical, I shove another pancake down my throat before saying as calmly as possible, "Boo, your parents are dead, or did I miss something?""Well…"Ya, and that is where I am about to hear a story."They might perhaps still be alive."Still trying to remain calm, I take a deep breath and slowly, in the back of my head, count down to ten, "Is it perhaps, or is it for real?""It is for real. My father has passed away, but my mom is still alive."And that is me choking on the last of the pancake that I was still calmly chewing on. I nearly topple over as there is a s
The Marine Next Door II Evil Mother-In-Law
The air was thick with the tension between us. Our eyes were hot with held-back tears; brows burdened with unresolved anger. Our annoyance filled the space between us. Disenchantment and creeping doubt edged us closer to a cliff of despair.On a good day, love can be challenging.Why do we keep finding ourselves in these trenches of disaffection and dysfunction?Life's evolutions would throw us off balance, disrupt our "normal," and make us uncomfortable and distracted.We are continually growing apart instead of instead of growing closer.To love, truly love, is to give, even when it is hard—especially when it is hard.When that reservoir of resentment is so full that just a drop of irritation made it spill over and saturate us with anger, we had to be stronger than the flood and to give more.And when we had nothing left to give, this is when we had to forgive.And when we did, we began to build trust again
The Marine Next Door II The Pleasure Of Payback
…Isabella POV…I can hardly contain my laughter as I see the expression on Clayton's face as he very hesitantly makes his way over to the front door. All the way, with each step he takes, he softly whispers."I am going to kill you, Isabella Jackson."I only but shake my head and throw my hands in the air.I am pleading complete innocence.But yet watching him gently reach for the knob, taking almost and ten agonizing seconds to fling the door open, I finally burst out in an uncontrollable fit of laughter.He looks at me with much relief on his face as he is staring at the courier guy that is busy handing him a package. As he slams the door behind him, he walks back to me with utmost confidence."You can be glad that was not Betty.""Soldier, she is mom to you now.""Not the fuck; I am not calling that old bag mom. She has been giving me nothing but shit for years, and let us not forget about that god
The Marine Next Door II Fear Of Seven Horrors
Yesterday was torture, and ya… It is not going to get any better. I shall now have to live with the fact that Betty is my mother-in-law. Still, just the mention of the word makes my body cringe. I think, in a way, I was happy that I would never have one, but I guess a man can only dream for such a short while.Now I sat with Isabella in that kitchen for nearly almost two hours, and she did not say a single word. Yes, it frustrated the shit out of me because, in the back of my head, I know that there is going to be something that sticks up its ugly head. And as certain as I know that I am Clayton Jackson, that is as certain I will be to divorce her lying ass.So I shall leave it where it is and hope for the best to come.Now today, she is dragging me, well, not truly because I would love to have the experience, so we are off into the city to go get some more blue little things for my boy. I do truly wish that she did not only buy blue; hey, I love my own b
The Marine Next Door II Suffocating Moments Of Silence
As I slowly open my eyes, I am immediately struck by a pounding headache, and fuck does it hurt like a bitch. But that is not my concern, my concern is Isabella, and as I look over at her, I am so fucking relieved that she is still there. Though still there how I do not now. So I abandon my seat in an instant and rush over to her side; as I open her door, her limp body falls out from the seat. My heart stops, and I cannot fucking breathe.Fuck Isabella!There is a suffocating grip that takes hold of my heart. I can feel the tears start to trickle at the corner of my eyes. I begin to scream at the top of my voice.His body is lifeless, his arms dangle to the ground, and his head falls loosely to the back. There is blood all over his face, but I cannot see where it is coming from. I cannot see any other wounds, but it does not mean that they are not there. Why is he not moving? The crash was not really that hard, but then again, Isabella was not wearing his seat b
