Kim and i have returned to whatever goes for normalcy around these parts. I'm glad she wasn't around for the big wind up with the singing demon. I thought I was nearly gonna loose Maddy, she seemed bound and determined to go up in flames everythime she sang. When you got to the heart of the matter I reckon she feels as everyone does, wondering why they're still here and others ain't. I struggle with it myself somedays, but its something I got..not used to so much as just something I can accept most of the time.
Aidan came out and helped with all that singing mess. I reckon I should remind him he's out, that it ain't his job no more, more importantly he doesn't need to carry the responsibility. But I understand where it gets to be ingrained in your life, who you are. And in a crisis him showing up to help out ain't the worse thing that could happen. yeah i wish he'd throw the uniform back on, but I ain't gonna cut him out ever.
Private St.James, come to find out is not only dating a local girl, but she's also in high school. I was kinda surprised. She's of age so its not technically an issue. She's a nice kid. I can already see a difference in him. Now if I could just get him to stay on base when he should be everything would be square. I haven't called him on the carpet for it, cause no one else has taken to noticing yet. But if someone else brings it to my attention, I reckon I'll have to reprimand him for it. Yeah, I'm well aware that I'm breaking the rules, but this place is hard enough to make it in, if some of my other men found a reason to to keep trying to make it through I wouldn't stop them either, unless I had to.
This last week we had another scare. Ingrid Hicks, Izzy's sister and the one Trick had that date where he ended up nearly arrested for lewd conduct with, was out on a date, thankfully not with Trick this time cause I don't reckon I would want to see how Kim would react if Trick turned up missing, Anyways she was on a date with a Tristan Cohen and from what I read in Maddys report they were drugged then dumped in some woods outside of town by some demons. I had some of my men search the wood near the coordinates that India Hicks said her and her brother found them, but they came up empty. The place was clean. I hear tell that Ms.Hicks took herself home a souvenier, I was giving her time to heal up from the gun shot wound she recieved before asking her to view it so we can identify what species of demon were responsible. Maddy sent a copy of Mr.Cohens statement to me, but i reckon we all still can't make heads nor tails over what it was all about, whether it was random or something.
Monday was Valentines Day, Kim and mines first together. I reckon I can't really beat a house so i went back to the basics and got her
some gourmet chocolates and
chocalte covered strawberries. I also got her a necklace. My intentions are to add a birthstone claadagh pendant for the baby, but I want to wait til we get a little closer to the due date. babies are notorious for not showing up exactly on time from what I hear. Would hate to get her the wrong charm. Though, I reckon her gift to me trumps mine. I was greeted when I came home from work in her wearing this barely there lingerie. My wife never ceases to amaze the hell out of me. She's so beautiful. And everyday that goes by I find myself more in love with her. I find it so hard to belive that my luck would have me married again, baby on the way, a home, faily and good friends. I couldn't possbly hope for anything better.
Though Maddy and I got to talking,one of the times she tried to burn up on me. And we both agreed that no one really got the chance to deal with what happened, possibly why everyone was hit hard by this singing your inner most feelings. And that maybe we should have some sorta memorial for those who didn't make it and for us who did. A celebration of everyone lives in a way. So this Saturday, we are holding said event at Ralphs. I reckon it'll be good for everyone, maybe get some peace. Everyone I've talked to about it seemed to appreciate the idea. Hopefully it'll be a good turn out and the money we raise will go towards building a memorial for those who didnt make it.
