Attempting To Return Home
At 2 p.m., Brooks arrived in Dallas after boarding his jet at 10 a.m. It was only natural that he called Haley to check in as soon as he arrived. The doctor informed Brooks that he was already five centimeters dilated at that moment. The soldier’s chances of arriving home on time seemed to be dwindling by the minute.
Things just got worse from there. Brooks’ next flight was pushed back from 3:55 p.m. to 5:45 p.m. due to a delay. As far as the soldier was concerned, this was the last straw. Brooks was unable to be there for the birth of his daughter because of the delay.
