Danny POV

I stared at Rafe as he pulled out his sleeping bag. We have been doing fine since the day I got shot, I don't remember much, but Rafe has been with me every step of the way to recovery. "Aren't u excited we're heading home tomorrow, Danny Boy." He asked finally laying down and getting comfortable. "Yeah, I guess." I know it was a lame thing to say when we were finally going to go back home after being stranded herein Japan for 7 months, but the way I was feeling , I couldn't t help it, but feel sour.

"Danny, what's wrong?" Rafe asked a little concerned. Ok I had to tell him, I couldn't live with myself if I didn't. I love Evelyn so much, but I have loved Rafe longer, he was my brother, and brothers don't steal each other's girlfriends and feel good about it. I can't even comprehend why he has been so nice to me these months.

"I Know how much you love Evelyn and-"

'That's over now Danny get over it."

"No, I would be the worst brother in the world if I didn't back down. I mean you came back to us because of her. You loved her first and I know you'll always love her. Rafe and as much as it hurts to say, Man, She loves you more than me."

Rafe stared at me for a second.

"Do you remember what I kept telling you when you were in the infirmary?"

What was he talking about; all I could remember was the excruciating pain.

"No."

"When they shot you and you fell. Do you remember?"

"Rafe, I had five bullets inside me!"

He looked a little uneasy, like he had told me something very important and I didn't remember, but that didn't matter now, we leave for Pearl Harbor tomorrow and I had to settle this.

"Rafe, I know you love her-"

"And so do you" he spat back.

"I know I do, but..But Rafe, she was yours first and If I truly love Evelyn, I would want her to be truly happy and when she's truly happy, she's with you.

Rafe didn't look too convinced; he just sat up and stared at the ground for a second before he spoke.

"What makes you say that?"

I took a deep breath as all the memories of me and Evelyn played in my head, I remembered the movies, the beach and our one special night in the hangers.

"Everything we did everything we talked about revolved around you. When I told her a story from our past as little boys, she'll laugh so hard." I paused "Remember the day of the attack?"

Rafe smiled a little. "How could I forget?"

"We went to give blood, remember" He nodded his head.

"Well I tried looking into her eyes, but she won't look at me, then when she went over to you, and I saw the way she looked at you, Rafe." I paused; it really hurt saying this because I was actually bringing myself to reality at the same time. "Just the mention of your name makes her day."

Rafe shook his head.

"Rafe, I already told her."

He looked at me sharply and coldly

"You idiot, what did you do that for? When?

I was a little freighted.

"I wrote it while I was in the infirmary because I thought I was going to die and then since I didn't I kept it, but then the past month I've been feeling like crap, so I sent it to her two weeks ago. I told her, I was not being very nice by keeping her to myself."

"First of all, you my brother are an ass; second of all it's too late."

Now I was confused, what did he mean by that?

"Why do you keep saying that?" I asked

"Because Danny boy, you're going to be a daddy!"
