Babe never really thought about the other guys personal life, and still felt guilty about earlier. Babe walked up beside Roe, and placed a hand on his shoulder in a comforting manner. "I dont want to read it..you deserve to keep that stuff to yourself."

Malarkey was somewhat interested in what the letter said, seeing as Roe's outburst and revelation had thrown the male for a complete loop. " Nah, I'll just let you keep that to yourself." he said, though if Skinny read it, he would ask him what it said.

"Here you go Skinny! You can read it out loud. I don't mind... it's better hearing what she says aloud in my mind... gives her a voice."

Skinny reached out and took the letter from Roe, fumbling with the unopened envelope as it shivered along in his shivering hands. Once he got it open, he slipped the delicate piece of paper out, and looked it over for a moment, before reading aloud. " Dear Eugene. I hope you are doing well, and that this letter finds you and the rest of your mates in the best possible condition. I know we only spent a few weeks together, and that this letter might be somewhat of a shock for you, but there is something I need to tell you. After you left, I found out that I was pregnant. I should have told you sooner, but I couldn't bring myself to spring something like this on you in times like these. You already have so much on your plate, and this would only add to the stress you must be feeling. But you deserve to know about your son. His name is Anthony, and he looks just like you. He's now two months old. I'm very sorry to just spring this on you, but you deserved to know. I hope, when you return home from the war, that you will come and see us, especially Anthony. Best wishes, Vera."
Skinny paused for a moment, looking down at the letter with a solemn expression on his face. He didn't realize how serious the situation was until he had read the letter, the guilt was biting at him.

Roe just looked at the ground and said, "I have a son..."

Skinny coughed, holding the letter away from his face, before struggling out of his foxhole. " That's a good thing." Skinny said, pulling his blanket around his shoulders as he handed Roe back his letter.

Roe was still in shock... he had a son named Anthony and the kid looked like him.

Skinny smirked at the look on Roe's face, before clapping him on the shoulder and turning to head back to his hole.

He couldn't believe it. No matter how long he sat there in shock. He couldn't believe it.
