Ryuu had just completed his first month when the construction company notified them that the house was finished and they could go check that everything was in order. It was less than a five-minute drive and about a twenty-minute walk, so she tucked her baby between the stroller and they set off in that direction. Technically it wasn't the same neighborhood, although it was still the same sector of the city full of wealthy families.

The facade of the house had changed for two reasons, the first was the extension made and the second was that they had chosen a different stone design. It stood out in that street for being the smallest of them all but it was exactly as they had imagined it, and the feeling that invaded her the first time they went to see it about being warm and cozy was still there. She held the baby in her arms as they walked through each of the rooms, the dining area had beautiful decorations on one of the walls and in the kitchen there was already the huge fridge and stove, a gift from the company for the delay.

The rooms on the first floor only changed in terms of paint and she appreciated the staircase handrail chosen by her husband, fortunately she was no longer so sore so it didn't bother her to go upstairs and see the new rooms with their respective bathrooms. In theirs, her idea had included a small fireplace that she had dreamed of since she was a child, Ryuu's room had a huge children's mural.

Kiba signed the receipt, and she left the place with a huge smile. They went back to the property to get the car and go shopping, the child seat had already been installed so she carefully placed the baby in it, and sat in the back just in case. She had thought that her husband would move the things he had in his current room as well as in the apartment in the citadel, but he told her that besides some clothes, books and a few small objects, he didn't plan to take anything else, everything left would have to be bought. So that weekend that was the plan.

They were 3, so a dining room of only 4 seats would be small in case of inviting for dinner for example her parents or her mother-in-law and Hana, so the choice was one of 6 as 10 was already too much. The one at her parents' house was simple, nothing like the ones they were looking at as the salesman explained the advantages of it being oak, walnut or cedar, she had already learned that her husband didn't really care about the price so she just looked at the one that looked the prettiest and left the choices at two, of which he chose the walnut one because he preferred the dark shades and the filigree that the glass had. On the store they also chose the desk for the study, and their bedroom sets at once, because they had a crib bed that they liked.

Everything would be delivered directly to the new house, and she thought she would have to be there to receive it, but the Inuzuka told her that wouldn't be the case. One of the servants from the property went to the place and took care of leaving everything in order, including bringing the clothes and items that would be moving in. So, on Saturday three weeks later they got into the car with a couple of suitcases that were the last things missing, and as they parked they smiled at each other, it was the first day in their own home as a family.

"I'm sorry, but I have to do this," she didn't understand his words at first, but it made sense the moment he lifted her in his arms to cross the threshold together. Getting her to start laughing and as soon as he set her down she kissed him.

All the objects were in their respective places, and even Yuuki was now going to work for them, for the moment they didn't consider necessary to have more people at their service, well, a gardener who would go a couple of times a week to take care of the different plants in the huge green area they had. Their first meal was prepared by herself, being something simple that was within the food she could eat since she was breastfeeding.

In the night it was her who sought Kiba's lips, although it sometimes hurt and she still didn't feel entirely comfortable with her body despite starting to do some exercise to return soon to her pre-pregnancy size, the truth is that she wanted to be with him again, and clearly she didn't find a refusal, both enjoying the fact that at the clinic she had been injected with a contraceptive that prevented them from having to use anything else. An almost perfect way to spend their first night now that they lived alone.
