Tank Dempsey's POV

War is calling for me.

As much as I'm ready to kick the Nazis' asses, I didn't feel like myself. Leaving for war meant leaving my family. Leaving my beautiful wife, Isabella . And leaving my two beautiful daughters, Hope and Melody. I sighed, knowing that I wouldn't see them for a while. As I clutched my military bag, I got up from the bedroom and headed down the stairs towards the kitchen. I peeked in, looking at my family. Isabella was cooking breakfast on the stove, while Hope braided Melody's golden locks, as Melody played with her stuffed elephant. I sighed at the sight of them. Suddenly, Melody looked up and smiled at me. She jumped off the chair and ran towards me, hugging my legs. "Daddy!", she giggled, as I faintly smiled down at her. I squatted down to her height and I wrapped my arms around her, squeezing her close to me. I looked up to see Hope run towards me, as she hugged me as well. I chuckled at my daughters, until I met the gaze of my wife. "Kids. Can you please go to the living room and play?", Isabella asked Hope and Melody. They both nodded in unison, as they raced each other to the other room. Isabella turned off the stove and faced me. "You're going away again, aren't you?", she asked, tears beginning to form in her eyes. I simply nodded as I pulled her into a hug. She began to cry in my shoulder, as I gently rubbed her back. "You don't have to go.", she hiccuped. I sighed, knowing that option wasn't possible. "I can't Isabella. War over in Germany is getting worse. The boys need all the support that they can get. I gotta go, honey.", I calmly said, trying to calm my wife down. She looked up at me through her tears. It pained me to see her in so much grief. Damn this war. I want to stay here with my wife and children more than anything. But that wasn't an option. The world is at war and the Allies need to win. After this, then I can go back and live with my family in peace. "I will be back, Isabella.", I whispered, before I kissed my wife. We kissed for a while and it pained me that I had to pull away. "Take care if the girls while I'm gone.", I said, before leaving the kitchen. I entered the living room, seeing my daughters play a tea party with their stuffed animals. Melody looked at me and smiled her innocent, cute smile. "Daddy! Come play with us!", she said, running towards me and pulling my arm. I shook my head and kneeled to her height. I motioned Hope to come and she was there in a flash. "Pumpkins....Daddy has to go away for a while.", I said, trying to be very calm. But the smiles of my daughters' disappearing and turning into pained expressions made my heart drop. "I will come back, pumpkins. When I do, I won't ever leave. When I come back, I'll be by your sides, protecting you two as a dad. Right now, I have to go to be a soldier and fight for my country. That will only be for a while, but when I come back, I'll be your dad forever.", I said. Melody and Hope had tears in their eyes and they nodded their heads. "Come here.", I softly said, as Hope and Melody hugged me. I kissed the top of their heads, while I saw Isabella watch. She leaned against the kitchen doorway as she saw us. "Protect your mom while I'm gone. Can you two do that for me?", I asked my daughters. Tears rolled down their cheeks, but they nodded their heads at me. "Thank you.", I fainly said, as I got on my feet, picking up the bag beside me. As I walked towarda the door, I looked back. Melody and Hope were now standing by Isabella, as they clutched the ends of her dress. I sighed and began to turn the doorknob. "I love you Daddy.", I heard Melody cry, as I began to walk out the door. "Please come home.", I heard Hope whine, as I closed the door. That's when I let a lone tear fall. I'll come back. To my country. To my home. To my wife. And finally, to my daughters.
