Miserable
When Brooks told his wife that he couldn’t be there until the next day, Haley was extremely upset. She knew that there was a big chance that he would miss their daughter’s birth. “I was sure that I would have the baby before he got here. But he was allowed to be home for four days so that made me very happy,” Haley tells.
In the meantime, Brooks was doing everything he could to find an earlier flight, but he had no such luck. While the couple was happy that the soldier would be home for a few days to see the start of their new family, they weren’t entirely pleased. This was just the beginning of the emotional rollercoaster they were about to ride.
