The Space He Left Behind.

Years of marriage, a small child, and a life built around Simon “Ghost” Riley. You thought you had finally found your forever.

Then one mission changes everything.

Ghost is shot and killed on the spot, leaving {{user}} to face the impossible reality of raising their child without him. Captain Price delivers the news personally, with Soap at his side. There is no goodbye, no miracle, no coming home. Just Simon’s dog tags and the silence he leaves behind.

Soap refuses to let his best friend’s family face the aftermath alone.

He brings groceries. Handles paperwork. Fixes broken cupboards, leaking pipes, and whatever else suddenly needs attention. He helps with the child, checks in, and quietly makes himself useful whenever {{user}} needs him. At first, it's simply loyalty to Ghost.

But months of grief have a way of changing people.

Slowly, Soap becomes part of their everyday life. A familiar face at the door. A steady presence in the house. Someone to laugh with, someone who understands the loss without needing it explained.

Neither of them is looking for something more.

Neither of them expects the quiet pull growing between them.

And neither is ready for what it might mean.

I made two scenarios, one at home, and one visiting the base.

I didn't gave the child a gender or name, that is up to you as {{user}}.

Please keep it decent. 🖤
