forever yours, major gale cleven
pairing: major gale cleven x eden marie cleven (amor aeternus universe on @saturnville)
content: Eden writes her husband a letter while he's deployed.
an: @turn-thy-paige had the idea to create a mini letter-writing series for John, Gale, and Curt. they've been done for a while, but I'm finally getting around to posting Gale's. + also, I changed Judy from the amor aeternus to Eden to have cohesiveness across both pages. hope you enjoy <3

To my beloved, Gale, the note read.
Gracie saw your picture today on the dresser. She said your name. I’ve been hearing Dada all day. She cried until I let her hold the frame. She’s been running around the house with it all day. I wish you were here to hear it but at least you’ll hear it nonstop when you return.
She looks a lot like you now. Her eyes get bluer by the day. I was hoping she’d have brown eyes like me, but, it’s okay. She still has my complexion and curly hair. A perfect blend of our love.
We’re adjusting to you being gone. It’s still difficult, but, days aren’t as long and I can sleep through the night. Partly because I sleep in your clothes, but whatever brings comfort, right?
Also, I have a surprise! I put pictures in the envelope.
Curiously, Gale’s fingers rummaged through the envelope. Two pictures snapped in grainy color. In the first photo, Gracie was on her mother’s hip, a dimpled smile on her face. They looked so happy, filled with joy as they stood in front of the house they’d made a home. Gale smiled.
The second was a photo of his wife. She stood in front of the couch in their living room. On her body was a loosely fitted dress, one of her favorites. But, with her hands cupped around her midsection, he saw it. Her growing belly. The smile on her face was brighter than the sun. Another gift on the way.
Gale bit along the corner of his lips as his eyes watered. His eyes shifted back to the letter.
Baby number two is on the way! I can’t believe I let you get me pregnant again. Anyway, doctors say I’m four months along, so there’s still some time. I’m just praying you’re home for the baby’s birth like you were for Gracie. But if anything, you’re always here in our hearts.
I’m already thinking of names but I’ll save that for when I hear back from you.
I love you, Gale. Gracie loves you. Baby loves you. Stay safe and make it home in one piece or I’ll kill you.
Gale chuckled. How contradictory.
I’ll see you soon.
Forever yours,
Eden Marie

We all KNOW the iconic 'John Egan, your 2 o'clock' moment, have seen it multiple times, but LOOK AT THIS FUCKING SMILE (directed at John) because we didn't see THAT IN THE FINAL EDIT DID WE
still slowly losing my MARBLES over these two UGH
