A soldier surprise

One-shot. Sabina is 2 years younger than Alex in this. Also Fox transferred back.

Sabina's POV

I walked onto the stage with the rest. It was my graduation. It was perfect, well, almost perfect. All my family is here, well, nearly all my family. There is only one thing tha would make this day perfect. Alex. Oh, Alex. My husband. Out there fighting alongside his unit fighting to keep us safe while I'm here getting a diploma. He joined the Army after he completed high school. Then he was transferred to the SAS where he joined K-Unit again. I support him all the way but right now I wish he could be here. I was making a speech today. In it, I was talking about Alex. He will be here. In my words and in spirt. The man called out my name and I walked up to recieve my diploma. He invited my to talk and I stepped up to the podium. I looked out into the crowd, took a deep breath, and started. "In our speeches we are supposed to talk about our achievements and what we are doing with our future. I'm not. I'm going to talk about someone else's achievements. What someone else has done with their future. That person is Alex. Alex Rider. My husband who is unfortunately not here to see this and know how much I cared for him. He has achieved so much after he has gone through so much pain and suffering. Right now my husband is out there. Fighting. Fighting to save me. To save my family. To save us. My husband is out there in the SAS alongside hisunit. Fighting to keep us safe. Sacrificing time spent with his dearly beloved to kep them safe. I am fine with it. I encourage him. I support him. This day is almost perfect. The thing that would make it perfect. The thing I would wish for is for Alex to be here. Right here, right now, listening. Listening and knowing how much I support, encourage, care and love him. No mater how much time he spends with me. I will always be Sabina Rider. Wife of Alex Rider. I am so proud of you Alex. Thankyou." I close my eyes for a brief second and step back. I look in everyones eyes and see tears. Including 3 people I know. Wolf, Eagle,Snake and Fox. I gasp. "What.. where.. where is Alex" Just as I choke out the last word I hear someone behind me. "I know Sabina, I know. Thankyou" I spin round and there he is. My husband. Dressed in fatigues, holding a bouquet of red roses and with tears spilling down his face. I start crying and fling my arms around him. We kiss until I need more air. I turn back to the audiance and say one last thing into the microphone. "It's perfect."

Alex's POV

I grumble all the way home. We're going to miss it. The sarge had finally given in to my complaining, wolfs glares, Snakes accusating glances, fox's silent treatment and Eagles whining, pleading and blackmail. Yes. Blackmail. Eagle had blackmailed the seargent. He refused to tell us what with but I was guessing it was that if he didn't Eagle would eat all his sugar stash at breakfast and be super hyper for the next week. What ever it was, it worked. Sarge had given us a two week leave. We pulled up outside the university and I sprinted to the building with flowers in my hand. Wolf and the others were behind. They were going through the front and I was sneaking up on her. As I stayed in the wings and listened to her speech, I felt tears welling in my eyes. I looked to where the others were and saw the same. Just before she finished I crept up behind her. I kept silent as she finished and started spluttering when she caught sight of the unit. I think back to what she said before and know exactly what to say. "I know Sabina, I know. Thankyou" She spins round at my voice and studies me. She flings her arms around me and we start kissing until we need air. She turns back to the audiance and says one last thing, I smile at what she says. "It's perfect."
