Disclaimer: I own nothing except for Georgia

I owe you guys everything! Thank you for showing so much support in my fan fiction, though I feel this hasn't been one of my better works --, everyone has their slumps though, yeah? Thanks again to everyone who reviewed and I hope this story ends to your liking!

He had asked me not to see him off after our time together. Asked me to stay behind, that it wasn't some test or trick. He just didn't know if he'd be able to get on that plane with me standing there, dragging him back in. I had understood completely, and did as he asked, watching him drive away from me until I couldn't see him no longer. I took my vacation time from the hospital then, having earned nearly two months off with all the over time I had booked. I needed that time to get my life in order. Two weeks after he had left, he sent me his first letter.

Dear Georgia,

Lord, it seems like it's been an eternity, doesn't it? In truth it's only been a week since I've seen you, and the Pearl Harbor sunset. I can't write to you where I am, or where I'm going, because I'm not even sure. All I know is that whatever I'm doing is top secret, and to tell you the truth I'm scared to death. I don't know if you know what top-secret means, although something is telling me that you do. Even if you didn't, I'd never have the heart to tell you.

"Oh god." I whispered softly as I covered my mouth with my hand, looking over to Evelyn who had a similar look on her face. "Oh, Ev." I whispered softly as I looked to her then, and she shook her head, tears falling down her face.

"Georgia, I can't lose either of them. I just can't!" Evelyn cried softly as Georgia walked over to her then, wrapping her arms around her. Evelyn and her had found that having Rafe and Danny gone, had in turn brought their friendship back together, having to lean on one and other for support. Even more so after Evelyn had found out she was pregnant with Danny's child.

I miss you, and I love you. Wait for me Georgia, please.

Your's always,

Danny

Georgia held her letter to her chest as she held Evelyn in her other arm. How they were going to make it through these next few months without them, she'd never know.

It had been nearly two months since their departure, and Evelyn's stomach had grown to the point where it was beginning to show. She had quit work, going on leave so the stress didn't hurt the baby, and Georgia was home to help her luckily enough as she did.

"What are we going to do about this baby, Georgia?" Evelyn asked as she sighed softly, running her fingers through her hair. "I mean, I want to be with Rafe, and you want to be with Danny. How are we going to work this out."

"Well, for one thing, I think we should wait until Danny gets home. He should be a part of the decision since he is the baby's father." Georgia sighed softly as she sat down next to Evelyn.

"Georgia, what are we going to do if they don't?" Evelyn asked softly as Georgia frowned, looking at her then.

"Evelyn, do you know something I don't?" She asked softly as Evelyn sighed.

"Rafe wrote to me, told me about how they're training to fly bombers and launch them in under 467 feet. He said they were going on a mission. That both he and Danny were sure where to and why after adding everything together." Evelyn bit her lip slightly as she sighed. "They're training to bomb Japan." She whispered to her as Georgia gasped softly, covering her mouth with her hand in shock.

"Oh god." She whispered as she shook her head, tears welling into her eyes. "The bombers would never reach Japan, let alone back and forth!"

"Rafe thinks that they're going to be launching them off of the carriers, but he isn't sure how they're going to land them." Evelyn sighed as she frowned. "I talked to a man that I saved who works in the command post a few weeks back, after Rafe had sent me that letter. He's agreed to trying to help get us in there for when the time comes."

"To see whether or not they survived?" Georgia asked softly as Evelyn nodded. "Do you know how long until..."

"No, he says he'll call us when it gets close to the time." Evelyn stated as she leaned back against the chair. Georgia sighed as she nodded, sitting back as well and looking at the clock.

Danny's time was running out.

Georgia groaned as she leaned over the toilet, pale as a ghost as her stomach turned once again. She'd been getting sick the whole morning, and it seemed like a continuous circle between eating, and becoming sick.

"Georgia!" Evelyn's voice rang through the door as Georgia groaned slightly, holding her head.

"Yeah, Ev?" She managed to voice without too much trembling in her voice.

"It's time." Evelyn answered softly as Georgia paled even more, getting up on shaky legs and looking into the mirror. She quickly wiped away any leftover vomit from the corners of her mouth, before stepping out and seeing Evelyn's scared, yet concerned face.

"Georgia, what's wrong? Are you sick?" Evelyn asked in worry as Georgia smiled slightly, blushing.

"Depends if you count this as being sick." She stated softly as Evelyn's eyes widened and she broke out into a wide smile.

"Really?! Oh Georgia, that's wonderful!" Evelyn smiled as she hugged Georgia tightly then, before gasping in pulling away. "Come on, we've got to go!" She grabbed Georgia's hand then, dragging her out the door and down the road.

They met the man at the front door, as he looked to the girl's in a serious and hurried manner, waving them to follow him. As they walked down the halls, Georgia could hear the sounds of type writers in the distance.

"Mission will launch in a couple hours. You stay here." He commanded as he set Evelyn down at one of the desks, then Georgia in the one behind her. "Stay here. Don't talk to them, they won't talk to you." He looked to both of the girls, before looking around again in worry. "Pretend to type whatever information we pass you. That's it." He added before walking on into the control room, and Georgia looked to Evelyn, paling some again. Evelyn bit her lip as she nodded, getting herself situated, with Georgia doing the same behind her.

From Berlin, Rome, and Tokyo, we have been described as a nation of weaklings and playboys, who hire British, Russian, or Chinese soldiers to do our fighting for us. Around the time that Danny and Rafe's mission was supposed to start, Roosevelt's voice could be heard on the radio, and Georgia couldn't help feeling a shiver run down her spine at his words.

Let them repeat that now. Let them tell that to General McArthur and his men. Let them tell that to the soldiers who today, are fighting hard in the far waters of the Pacific. Georgia felt tears come to her eyes as she couldn't help picturing Danny that far away, bullets raining down on him. His plan pelting towards the ground, erupting in flames...

"Georgia!" Evelyn whispered urgently as Georgia snapped out of it to look at her. She could see the worry and hurt in her eyes as well. "Keep a hold of yourself or we'll get kicked out!" She whispered sharply as Georgia quickly nodded, wiping the stray tears away.

Let them tell that to the boys in flying fortresses. Let them tell that to the Marines.

Georgia took a deep breath as she continued to pretend like she was typing, but was shaking so much that she could hardly press the key pads down. She saw Evelyn shift in front of her sudden, as she looked up, wide eyed when she saw her standing.

"Evelyn, what are you doing?" Georgia whispered softly, but it looked as if Evelyn hadn't heard her as she continued on with a pile of papers in her hand towards the command center.

We caught them by surprise.

Dropping ordnance

Bombs away!

Evelyn came back to the desk shortly after, a look of disbelief on her face as she sat down heavily, tears in her own eyes now.

"Evelyn? Evelyn, what is it?" Georgia paled slightly as she looked at her, and Evelyn could only shake her head as she covered her mouth with her hand.

"Georgia, Georgia let's go home." Evelyn mumbled through her hand as she stood up then, almost running out of the room. Georgia paled as she ran after her then, making it out the doors before she saw Evelyn on her knees on the ground, sobbing.

And Georgia's heart stopped.

Georgia walked with Evelyn out onto the airstrip, seeing that the plane had already landed. Evelyn paled as she reached out, grabbing on tightly to Georgia's hand. It had been nearly a month since they had been at the command post, and Evelyn was showing now more than ever, with Georgia's own little bump following. Georgia tightened her hold on Evelyn's hand then, biting her lip as she often did when she was scared or nervous. She saw the door open, and who she guessed to be Colonel Doolittle step out. Man after man stepped out of the plane, until finally Rafe showed. Evelyn smiled brightly in relief as she let go of Georgia's hand, running to him and throwing herself in his arms, holding him tightly to her. Georgia stood still as stone, not seeing Danny yet. She walked slowly up to Rafe then as she paled more with every step.

"Rafe, where is Danny?" Georgia asked as Rafe shook his head solemnly.

"Georgia, I didn't want to tell you this but-" Georgia's surprised gasp cut him off as she felt a pair or strong arms wrap around her from behind, and a familiar laugh echoed in her ear. "He's right behind you." Rafe finished with a grin as Georgia turned around in his arms, hugging him tightly then.

Everyone wants to have their happy ending, and luckily enough, Georgia found her's.
