You're Mine

chapter 128

"We're here.", Owen excitedly announced while he watched Addison and Jake open their gate for them before he drove into the yard in his parking spot. "Don't open any doors yet. We have to put Eleanor on her leash until the gate is fully closed again, then she can explore everything without it."

"Woah, the house looks much cooler than it did on the pictures, where it already looked really great.", Logan pointed out. "And according to the GPS, the beach and ocean are right behind our backyard.", he said.

"What?", his father asked his mother, who just stared at him. Her eyes were sparkling and that's something he hadn't seen in so long. He couldn't help but smile at her and his smile grew wider when she passionately kissed him for a moment.

"Hey!", Addison yelled from outside after she had knocked on her sister's window of the car, very ready to give her a big hug, which caused the couple the break their kiss and giggle. The kids seemed rather impatient as well.

"What was that for?", the trauma surgeon wondered, leaving his hand rested against his wife's cheek for a second longer than he had to. He was so proud that they had made it here without any major issues.

"Thank you for blindly following me here.", Amelia told her husband. "Alrighty, Auntie Addie, Uncle Jake, and Henry are waiting for us to get out.", she informed the children and opened her car door to let everyone out and put the leash on the husky.

"Hey!", the redhead whispered, causing her to turn around to him once more. "I would follow you anywhere.", he winked at her with a soft smile on his lips and watched her face light up at that.

"Hi!", the brunette beamed at her best friend and embraced her tightly. She also hugged Jake and Henry. While Owen greeted them too, she opened the van door and got Eleanor out first, followed by Logan, Layla, and Leo.

"Wow, you Guys got so big!", Addison told the three kids she had last seen at the couple's wedding a few years ago. "Leo, how old are you now? Eight?", she joked, making him and Layla giggle before he hid behind his mama's leg since he was a little shy.

"Can we walk around with Ella?", Layla begged, wanting to explore the yard so badly. Her parents allowed it, causing the three oldest kids to look around. The pool had a cover, meaning they couldn't fall in.

"Don't you wanna join them, Sweetie?", the neurosurgeon asked the toddler behind her leg, but he shook his head. "And if we all go?", she suggested, fully aware of the fact that the twins still had too much energy.

"Okay.", the four-year-old finally agreed and grabbed his mother's hand. Owen was walking around with Lucas and Jake did the same with Luna. "What's for dinner?", he wondered, already hungry again.

"Pasta.", his father answered softly. "It's already dinner time and we don't have time to cook something huge. Do you Guys want to eat with us?", he asked their friends, who had gone shopping for them.

"No, thank you. We just wanted to be here when you arrived, to give you the keys and stuff.", Jake replied. "Your furniture arrived yesterday at 5pm, so we brought it inside and today we put together some of it already but didn't get to finish yet. We'll be back tomorrow to help."

"You really didn't have to do that, Guys.", Amelia told the couple, surprised by the news. They had only agreed on them having the key, going shopping and taking the furniture inside once it arrived.

"Don't worry. We've had the time and we figured that it's much more comfortable for everybody to sleep in their beds instead of having to spend the night on some mattress.", the neonatal surgeon pointed out.

"Thank you so so much!", Owen replied before the family said their goodbyes, so that the Hunts could finish their day in their new home. "Everyone left us.", he told his youngest daughter, who was playing next to her father on the kitchen floor while he was cooking.

"Lukie, this is yours!", his wife let her twin brother know. The other three kids explored their rooms too. Logan already made a plan of where all his furniture was supposed to go and where he would put his stuff. Layla looked through her own things to sort them. And Leo was already playing with his toys again.

"Mama!", the baby exclaimed and pointed to himself with a little smile on his face, causing her to nod. He reached for the floor, signaling his mother that he wanted to be put down and walk around himself.

"Isn't that pretty? Such a big room.", the brunette grinned at her son, who touched everything he could. "That's your new big boy bed.", she informed him and pointed to the toddler bed, which he wouldn't be able to get out of by himself.

"Yes.", the one-year-old giggled cutely, warming his mom's heart. "Dada!", he yelled when they heard Owen call them downstairs for dinner. After that, the four youngest children went to bed once they had taken a bath and Logan got to facetime with Atlas.

"Addison knows you so well.", the trauma surgeon chuckled, resting on the lounge chair with his back against the back rest. His wife was in between his legs, relaxing against him, and together they just stared at the ocean in front of them since their balcony was on the beach side. "She wouldn't have left without putting this thing together."

"She does.", the neurosurgeon agreed. "This is so damn beautiful. I've actually forgotten how great Los Angeles really is.", she added. Eleanor was next to them on the other lounge chair. "Oh, hi buddy!", she smiled at Logan.

"Can I sit here with you Guys for a while longer?", the thirteen-year-old asked and when his father nodded, he took a seat in front of his mother, resting against her the way she did with her husband. Although it was kind of late for the boy to be awake, it was okay since he wouldn't have to go to school tomorrow already.
