SOLDIER RETURNS AFTER 2 YEARS, THEN DAUGHTER TELLS HIM HE HAS TO MEET THEIR NEW ‘DAD’

for nearly the whole two years he was away all Soldier Jaimie could think about was getting back home and seeing his wife and daughter he had missed her growing up years and it was one regret that truly breaks his heart however it was his job to protect his country so he totally understands but it would not be the reunion he had dreamt of because when he finally took his daughter in his arms again she told Jaimie that he had to come to meet her new dad and when jaim discovered who that was his whole world collapsed around him but who was Lauren's new dad had Jaime's wife betrayed him or was something very different going on here while Jaime was still in Iraq he received letters from friends and family on a weekly basis and if he was lucky his daughter sent him a drawing the locker in his tent was filled with them but this time he received a drawing that surprised him his daughter drew herself and her mother like she always did herself wearing her favorite pink sweater and her mother with big earrings this time she even drew a dog as well Jaimie couldn't believe his eyes he had been expecting to see a dog but instead he saw a completely different man he was confused and perplexed he had no idea what was going on he looked around trying to make sense of the situation he noticed that the man he saw was wearing the same clothes he had on when he left the house he was also wearing the same shoes he wondered if he had somehow been transformed into this other person he felt a chill run down his spine as he contemplated the possibilities but Jaimie didn't think much of it he was trained to remain emotionally distant when he needed to so there was no room for doubt in his mind he quickly read his other letters and hung up the drawing of his daughter before going to work he had been away from home for a while now and missing his family more and more each day he thought of his daughter's bright smile and the way his wife's eyes lit up when she saw him he wished he could be there with them but he knew he had to stay focused on his job but while he was working he had no idea what was happening with his little family back home he wondered if his daughter was still drawing pictures and his wife was still taking care of the house he thought of all the things he was missing out on like the little moments that made up their everyday life he wished he could be there to share in those moments but he knew he had to stay focused on his job then arrived the best day of the month in Iraq the monthly call home Jaime made sure he was first in line and had 20 minutes to call his family he asked his wife Stacy about the dog on the drawing joking about how it should have been a surprise but she got nervous and admitted their daughter must have meant a dog she regularly visited what was she hiding Jaimie was perplexed but he knew he had to trust Stacy he had to trust that she was taking care of their daughter and was being honest with him he asked her to tell him more about the dog she explained that it was a stray she had been feeding for a few weeks she had grown attached to it and was worried about what would happen to it when she left Jaime was relieved to hear that his daughter was being taken care of but he was still curious about why Stacy hadn't told him about the dog before but Jaime allowed himself to be blind he assumed the background noises of a man's voice on The Following phone calls were just the voices of friends and family he managed to keep himself distant from the possible truth until the very last day in Iraq but then the day of the return arrived and Jaime was in for something Jaime had been living in a state of denial for the past few months but he knew that the day of his return to the United States was quickly approaching he had heard the background noises of a man's voice on the phone calls he had received from home but he had chosen to ignore them assuming they were just the voices of friends and family he had managed to keep himself distant from the possible truth until the very last day in Iraq the plane finally landed and the soldiers were taken to the the lobby of the airport where their families were waiting for them Jaime looked for his wife and daughter but he could not find them he was all alone surrounded by other families that were joyfully reuniting was their new dad keeping jimie from seeing them Jaimie figured they were probably just late it was Rush Hour during that time so it's perfectly understandable to be slightly late Stacy could be quite chaotic and being late was a usual thing for her he left the lobby and decided to wait for them in the parking lot but when he got closer to the parking lot he finally saw them and was unpleasantly surprised jimie saw Stacy and Lauren stepping away from a pickup truck and waving It Goodbye when it quickly drove away they rushed toward the lobby and they didn't see jimie at first he looked at them and noticed how much his wife had changed she looked extremely skinny and barely recognized her what had happened in his absence he had been gone for so long and was worried about what he would find when he finally returned he was filled with a sense of dread as he watched them approach he couldn't help but feel a sense of guilt for leaving them for so long he had no idea what had happened while he was away and he was filled with a sense of dread as he waited to find out they finally saw Jaimie and he forgot about all his worries they just stood there hugging for a couple of minutes Lauren had grown enormously in his absence but she still had the same beautiful eyes jimie asked Stacy who had dropped them off but she not knowing that Jaimie had seen them arrive jimie was getting closer to the truth but he didn't want to press the issue he was just happy to be reunited with his family the reunion was bittersweet as jimie was reminded of all the time he had missed with his family he had missed out on so many of Lauren's milestones and he was determined to make up for lost time he asked Lauren about school and what she had been up to and she happily filled him in on all the details jime was so proud of her and all that she had accomplished he was also grateful to Stacy for taking such good care of Lauren while he was away he thanked her for all she had done and she smiled back at him Jaimie realized that Stacy was lying but what should he do next he had just left a war zone and he didn't want to enter a new one he didn't want to confront her just yet and told himself he'd ask friends and family about what happened in his absence he hoped he could still trust them even after not seeing them for so long the cab ride was painfully quiet and Jaime's daughter could sense the tension she asked her dad to tell her some stories about his adventures but Jaimie knew he couldn't tell her her everything he decided to stick with the small insignificant stories about his colleagues and the food he told her about the time he and his colleagues went out for dinner and the waiter brought out a huge plate of nachos everyone was so excited to dig in but Jaime's daughter was most excited of all Jaimie arrived at his home again and automatically forgot about all his worries he had missed all of this sure many things changed around the house but it still had the the same smell and nostalgic feeling to it after having lunch with his family he laid down for a little nap but when he woke up several hours later the house was empty confused and still a bit sleepy Jaimie called for his little girl to come snuggle but when she failed to do so he grew worried he searched the entire house but there was no sign of them anywhere where could they have gone but he didn't want to get angry just yet he decided to take a look outside jimie stepped out into the cold morning air and looked around he saw nothing but the trees swaying in the wind he was about to give up when he heard a faint giggle coming from the nearby Woods jimie walked around the house looking for his daughter and wife he had slept way longer than he had wanted to and blamed it on his jet lag he had just arrived from a long flight and was still adjusting to the time difference he figured they must have have told him where they were going earlier and he forgot he searched the kitchen the living room and the bedrooms but there was no sign of them he was starting to get a little worried but he knew he would find out soon enough he decided to check the backyard and sure enough there they were his daughter was playing in the sandbox and his wife was sitting in a chair reading a book he smiled and walked over to them relieved to have found them jimie realized he wouldn't be able to sleep for hours duee to his jet lag and decided to call an old friend Ben he thought about inviting him over to have a few beers and catch up on old times he dialed Ben's number and waited for him to pick up when he did Jaime heard a woman and a little girl in the background he suspected that it was Ben's wife and daughter and he was right Jaime told Ben that he should come over and Ben agreed jimie was excited to see his old friend and catch up on all the things that had happened happened since they last saw each other he was also curious to meet Ben's family and see how his life had changed since they were last together he quickly tidied up his apartment and waited for Ben to arrive when he did jimie welcomed him with a warm hug and a cold beer Jaime's heart raced as he drove to Ben's house he was filled with a mix of emotions excitement fear and anticipation he had no idea what he was going to find when he arrived D would his wife and daughter be there would Ben be the new dad Lauren had told him about he had so many questions and he was determined to get answers as he drove Jaime's mind raced with possibilities he had been suspicious of Stacy's behavior for some time and he was sure that this was what she had been lying about he had to find out the truth he had to know if Ben was really the new dad Lauren had mentioned he had to know if his family was safe he had to know if his family was safe he had to know if Ben was really the new dad Lauren had mentioned the car ride to Ben's house was short but long enough for Jaime to rile himself up his blood was pumping and he got angrier by the second how could Ben betray him like this even though it wasn't confirmed yet jime knew he was right about it but was he really Jaime entered Ben's house without any hesitation and started looking for his wife and daughter he entered the living room and saw a woman with a little girl but they were not his family still Jaime was sure about his suspicion and asked them where Stacy was they told Jaime how they hadn't seen his wife for ages was Jaime losing his mind he had to find out the truth he searched the house but there was no sign of Stacy or his daughter he was starting to panic he had to find them he had to know the truth he searched the house again but still nothing he was about to give up when he heard a noise coming from the basement Jaimie apologized to the woman and her daughter after discovering they were Ben's sister and niece and left to go back home he seriously doubted his own mind after being away for so long he was filled with a sense of dread as he walked away seriously doubting his own mind after being away for so long he had no idea what he would find when he returned home but he was determined to face whatever was waiting for him Jaimie stepped out of his car feeling a little apprehensive he had no idea what Ben wanted but he was determined to face whatever was coming his way he slowly walked up the driveway his heart pounding in his chest he could feel the sweet dripping down his forehead he had no idea what Ben wanted but he was determined to face whatever was coming his way jimie decided to just have a good time with Ben for now instead of telling him about his worries he wasn't going to tell them he had been to his house just before they had a beer and some Vietnamese spring rolls having fun like in the old days and celebrating his accomplishments as a soldier they got another round of beers and nuts and continued chatting but the more time passed the more jaim wanted to bring up his worries and eventually he did at one point Jaimie could not hold it in anymore he was about to burst but just stopped himself he just needed to come clean and jokingly he told Ben he had gone into his house without him knowing because he thought his wife was cheating on him Ben looked surprised and paused for a second he immediately forgave Jaimie for suspecting him the fact he did this without hesitation wasn't just loyalty and friendship from his side he didn't share Jim's suspicion but he did tell him how he'd seen his wife change over the years he assured jime he would help him find out and told him he knew where to find her Jaime was glad that Ben wasn't mad at him he felt reassured that he too had seen the change in Stacy he did wonder though how his friend knew exactly where to go to find his wife and daughter how on Earth would he know their whereabouts did he have something to do with it or was it just a coincidence so many wild thoughts ran through his mind jimie sat in the car with Ben they were both so quiet and felt so awkward with one another they drove through the city on their way to Stacy and Lauren but jime could not stop thinking about how weird this all was he was still in disbelief the drawing with the strange man his wife lying to his face and then disappearing into the night how can this happen to him do you ask actually know the right way Ben jimie eventually asked after they had driven around town for over 20 minutes yes don't worry I know exactly where to go Ben responded but how jimie asked how do you know where they are if you never acted upon your suspicions Ben paused for a moment he could not help but feel so helpless he clearly didn't expect such an answer from his friend obviously friends do not do acts as such Jamie had made it clear that he suspected him of having an affair with his wife and now after interrogating him Ben realized his trust hadn't returned yet I can't explain it jimie you'll just have to see for yourself jimie hated that answer in fact getting answers like that has always been his pet peeve he sat in his seat not knowing where they were going or what was happening behind his back he felt powerless as if everyone around him knew about some secret and he was the only one that didn't the more jimie thought about it the more he riled himself up after about a 30-minute ride Ben finally turned into a driveway he was rattled but forced himself not to be too obvious he stopped and turned off the car but told Jaime not to get out yet why Jaimie asked as he frowned and reached for the handle but Ben locked the door from the inside what is going on here Ben let me out Ben jimie said with an angry voice you better let me out within the next couple of seconds or or what Jamie Ben responded agitatedly you're in my car and there is nowhere to go you can threaten me all you want but you know I'm right he waited in the car for a few minutes before he finally got the text unlocking the car now the text read and jimie heard the door click he slow slowly stepped out of the car he had no idea what to think of what had just happened all he could think about was his wife and daughter being in that house with someone he had never met before Jim pushed against the front door and it slowly opened Lauren he yelled a little dog came running to him and sniffed his feet jime recognized the dog from the drawing his daughter had sent to him in a rack he thought he couldn't be wrong that was the same dog in the drawing he was definitely in the right house he reckoned but where was his daughter what was happening Lauren Stacy he yelled out their names this time with a hint of anger in his voice he walked to the living room and was surprised to see a man sitting on the couch next to his wife and daughter it wasn't his friend Ben as he was sitting at the dinner table no this was a new man a bald man was this the man from the drawing Lauren Stacy he yelled again his voice echoing through the house he was determined to find out who this man was and why he was in his home he stepped closer to the man his fists still clenched he could feel his heart racing as he looked into the Man's eyes he was ready to fight if he had to he took a deep breath and stared back at him with a blank expression he could feel his anger Rising he was ready to fight if he had to Stacy please explain yourself jimie angrily asked his wife I took a nap and when I woke up you and Lauren were gone you didn't reply to my texts or calls and didn't even leave a note Stacy fiddled with her fingers and looked at her daughter Lauren sweetie go play in the other room Stacy now stood up and walked over to Jamie she looked sad or guilty even she took his hand and asked him to sit down Jamie still loved his wife endlessly even though he feared she had betrayed his trust while he was gone he had to know the truth so he followed her to the couch he had to know if she had been unfaithful and if so why he had to know if she still loved him or if she had moved on he had to know if he had been wrong to trust her or if she had been wrong to break his trust the tension in the room was almost unbearable Jaimie felt his heart racing ing as he waited for what he thought would be the end of his loving relationship with his wife he felt hurt and angry but he was determined to remain composed and not let his emotions get the best of him he had no idea what was going to happen next but he was sure that it wouldn't be good he had been through so much with his wife and he was scared that this would be the end of it all he had invested so much of his time and energy into this relationship he was afraid that it would all be for nothing he had put his trust in her and he was worried that she would not be able to keep it he was scared that she would break his heart and leave him with nothing Jaimie nervously shifted in his seat as he looked at the bald man he had no idea who this man was or what he had to do with his wife and daughter he had heard so many stories and secrets and he was determined to get to the bottom of this one he had no more patience for lies and secrets Jaime's heart raced as he studied the bald man he had no idea what this man had to do with his wife and daughter but he was determined to find out he had heard so many stories and secrets and he was determined to get to the bottom of this one he had no more time for lies and secrets he had to know the truth he had to know why this man was here and what he had to do with his family Jaime's hands trembled as he looked at the bald man he had no no idea what this man had to do with his wife and daughter but he was determined to find out as he looked back at Stacy he noticed something weird was happening to her he tried so hard to think what it was she was all red and sweaty she was breathing heavily he heard it so loudly even though she stood quite far from her jimie just assumed that she was nervous to talk to him and tell him the truth he was just about to tell her to come clean when something happened Stacy asked can I get some water please and it was obvious that she wasn't feeling well it seemed like she was really having a hard time telling the truth and opening up but in reality something completely different was going on jime was slowly getting annoyed about her dramatic Behavior but he immediately regretted it Stacy just said Jamie I'm sorry and she collapsed onto the floor jimie gasped and rushed to to help her up but Ben and the bald man were already with her he couldn't see what they were doing exactly because they were moving so quickly to jimie it looked like they had done this before which only raised more questions he was filled with a sense of dread as he watched them wondering what was going on he was desperate to help but he felt powerless he wanted to know what was wrong with Stacy but he was too afraid to ask he was also worried about the bald man who seemed to be in charge he had a feeling that he was not someone to be messed with he could feel the sadness radiating from Lauren and he wanted to do something to make her feel better he wanted to be able to take away her pain and make her smile he wished he could be the one to make her happy but he knew that wasn't possible he was too scared to approach her so he just stood there watching as the two embraced he felt a Pang of Envy as he watched the two of them together he wished he could have a connection like that with someone he wanted to be able to share his feelings and be comforted when he was feeling down he wanted to be able to talk to someone and have them understand him he wanted to be able to trust someone and know that they would be there for him no matter what he had many more questions now and he was worried about his wife what had happened to her judging by Lauren's question it must have happened more often what was going on was she sick but still besides the worries about Stacy one other very important question remained unanswered who was this bald man Lauren had been sitting there for what felt like hours and jimie could tell she was getting tired he wanted to do something to help but he didn't know what Lauren had moved to the couch now she was sitting next to her mother waiting for her to wake up she didn't take her eyes off her except to look at jimie a few times jimie felt hor horrible to see his wife and daughter the two people he loved the most in the world like this Stacy was slowly starting to wake up now and Lauren hugged her tightly when she was awake and feeling a little bit better she asked Ben if he could bring them home we'll talk there she said to Jamie Ben and the bald man helped her up into the car and Jaimie followed them in silence he wasn't happy about having to wait even longer to hear an explanation but he did his best not to show it on the outside he knew it was a bit selfish and he realized the most important thing was that Stacy was okay but he couldn't help but feel a bit left out he had been so excited to spend the day with her and now it seemed like he was being push it aside he had been looking forward to it for weeks and now it was all gone in an instant he felt like he was being forgotten and it was hard for him to accept he tried to tell himself that it was for the best that Stacy was safe and that was all that mattered it was obvious that Ben and the bald man had spent a lot of time with his family while he was gone Lauren hugged the bald man and whispered something in his ear they both looked at jamy and the bald man nodded as a way of greeting him the bald man waited outside while the others got in the car he was the last one to enter and the car was ready to go he took a deep breath feeling the cool air on his face he looked around taking in the sights and sounds of the city the sun was setting and the sky was painted with a beautiful array of colors Ben looked out the window and saw the sun slowly disappearing behind the Horizon he thought about how quickly time passes and how life can change in an instant he glanced in the rearview mirror again and saw Lauren's face which was still filled with worry and sadness he wished he could do something to make her feel better but he knew that he couldn't once they arrived at Jaime's and Stacy's house they all got out they helped Lauren walk to the front door and Ben left again leaving the family of three alone they went inside the house and Lauren immediately went to her room she probably knew that her parents were going to have a serious talk jimie and Stacy were both worried about their daughter they wanted to make sure she was safe and sound they had a lot of questions for her and they wanted to make sure she was telling the truth they had heard stories about what had happened they wanted to get to the bottom of it they asked her what had happened Lauren was hesitant to answer jimie and Stacy sat down on the couch and just looked at each other Stacy started crying and jimie hugged her this only made her cry harder as jimie sat there with her he had a feeling that something much worse was going on than he had expected I'm so sorry Jamie I really am Stacy cried I'm sorry for not telling you before she explained that she didn't want to worry him while he was on duty jime still had no idea what she was talking about now but it was obviously something very intense she was completely perplexed she had no idea what the woman was talking about but it was clear that it was something of great importance she tried to make sense of the words but they seemed to be jumbled and incomprehensible she felt a sense of confusion and frustration as she tried to comprehend the woman's words they spent the rest of the night on the couch talking and crying Stacy had told Jaimie everything that she had kept a secret for the last two years and he couldn't believe it he felt awful about it but he was relieved to hear the explanation finally and every had fallen into place not long after jimie left Stacy became sick at first she thought she was just a bit stressed and that was the reason she wasn't feeling well but that it would soon pass she tried to ignore the symptoms but they kept getting worse she was feeling more and more fatigued and her appetite was decreasing she was having trouble sleeping and her body achd all over she was having difficulty concentrating and and her mood was becoming increasingly irritable she was starting to worry that something was seriously wrong finally she decided to go to the doctor soon she spent most of her days in bed unable to do anything in or around the house she was unable to work and felt helpless fortunately she was able to get treated in the hospital and they provided a full-time caretaker to help her at home the caretaker was a great help cooking meals cleaning the house and taking Lauren to school it was then that it all clicked for her she was grateful for the caretaker's help and the hospital's support she was able to get the medical attention she needed and the caretaker was able to provide her with the assistance she required the caretaker was also able to provide her with emotional support which was invaluable she was able to get back on her feet and start living her life again she was able to go back to work work and do the things she loved she was able to take care of her home and her family the caretaker was the bald man he had been spending time with Stacy and Lauren to help them and that's why Lauren saw him as a father figure Jaimie had been suspicious of his wife's relationship with the caretaker and he had been feeling guilty and ashamed for even thinking that his wife had cheated on him he knew that his wife would never do something like that and felt embarrassed for even been considering it he had been so worried about his wife's relationship with the caretaker he had been unable to focus on anything else he had been so consumed with his thoughts that he had been unable to think of anything else he could not sleep at night nor concentrate on his work Stacy had just left the house in a hurry not wanting to wake jimie up she was feeling unwell and the medication she was taking was making her faint she didn't want to tell jimie she was sick yet so she asked Robbie the caretaker to pick her and Lauren up she was hoping that if she could get some help she would be able to make it through the day Robbie had been more than happy to help and he had arrived quickly he had been a great help to Stacy and Lauren and he had made sure they were both safe and comfortable Stacy was grateful for his help and she was relieved that she had been able to get the help she needed without having to tell Jaimie about her illness as for Ben he was Jaime's best friend and as soon as he had heard that Stacy was sick he knew that he had to help her he ran errands for her and delivered groceries to her house because jimie wasn't there to help he felt responsible and he knew that jimie would have done the same for him he was determined to make sure that Stacy had everything she needed he was determined to make sure that she was taken care of he was there for her when jime couldn't be and he was determined determined to make sure that she was comfortable and safe he was there for her when she needed someone to talk to and he was there to listen when she needed someone to listen to he was there to help her with whatever she needed and he was there to make sure that she was taken care of the good news was that Stacy

his son who often brought his dog to their house Lauren Jamie and Stacy's daughter loved to play with him she would run around the house laughing and chasing the pup jimie was glad to see his daughter
