was giggling like a teenager and jumping high. Watching her made his heart swell with love. Watching his friends with their kids made him want to be a father too. A better one than his own father in ever y way , and he wanted to watch his child grow inside Amari. He looked around with a smile on his face thinking how close he came to giving this all up and becoming a loner , shut off from society. Never again . H e would cherish each day that came and went.
    He was so busy with his own internal thought s he didn’t see Amari coming up until she wrapped her arms around his waist and rested her head against his back. He turned in her arms and gave her along lingering kiss.
    “Are you ok ay ?” she asked gently.
    “I’m perfectly fine . I’m more than fine, I’m happier than I’ve ever been and I have you to thank for that,” he replied. “Have I told you today how much I love you?”
    “Yes you have , but I don’t mind hearing it again . ” S he looked up at him with a smile. “ What were you thinking about?”
    “How everything we all went through in our lives led us to this point , together with the women we love and close friends by our side,” Stavros explained. “We’re some lucky bastards.”
    “I think we all are,” Amari said with a smile.
    “Food’s ready!” Malachi shouted.
    Everyone began to move toward the big picnic table together. Men holding their kids and walking with their fingers linked with their wives ’ . Stavros took Amari’s hand and led her across the grass. Everything had come full circle and they had all come out stronger for it. The Army Beasts had braved the gauntlet and walked through the fire together. Even when their generation was gone , their children would take over and what they built would carry on. They would stand united , and the Army Beasts would never die.
