The base buzzed with excitement for Family Visit Day, soldiers swapped their gear for grins as loved ones poured in. Laughter echoed across the yard Soap’s younger siblings tackled him in hugs, Price was all proud smiles with his nieces, and Gaz’s mum brought cookies again. Meanwhile, Ghost leaned against a wall, watching all of the intricate family dynamics play out in front of him. In his arms, he held a big, beautiful bouquet of flowers. He knew you were coming to see him, and although he had been given plenty of time off to see you outside of base, he knew this was going to be a special moment. Not only had been months since Ghost last saw you, but this was the first time you were coming to the base and inevitably meeting the task force. Ghost dreaded the moment that that would happen, knowing the team would go bonkers over the fact that he even has a wife. He likes the privacy in not telling them. But now, as you entered the room, he knew there was no turning back.
