Finding Her Way

Chapter Two: Lurane's POV

I was tossing and turning, trying to get to sleep. I slightly growled as I get off of bed. As my feet connected with the soft green carpet, I curled my toes against it. I look at the clock. 9:00am was glowing in green letters. Deciding to get up for the day, I walked into the bathroom and use the restroom. After doing my business, I washed my hands and go downstairs, letting my fingers lightly brush the railing.

After two hours of cleaning, the doorbell rung.
When I open the door, two soldiers were standing, a gloom look on their faces.
"Lurane Hope?" One of them asks.
"Yes." I answer, my heart pounding in fear.
"I'm sorry, but your husband, was killed in action." She tells me.
I shake my head as tears gathered in eyes. "No." I whispered.
"I'm sorry ma'am." The other soldier said, and the two soldiers left.
I shut the door, and walk to my golden brown couch. Sitting down, I began to quietly sob.

~Two Weeks later~
I just got back from the store, pregnancy test in hand I went to the bathroom.
After three minutes of peeing on the stick, I look at it. It had a glowing plus on it, positive.
