Steve walked up to the front door of an empty house and twisted his key in the lock. The little girl sitting on his hip, Miya, squealed in excitement when he pushed the door open and they stepped inside. Steve set her down and she wondered through all the rooms on the bottom floor.

Eddie slammed the car door shut, holding a baby wrapped in a blanket, and joined his husband and their daughter inside. The two men stood in the middle of the empty lounge room, Steve's arm around Eddie's waist as they glanced around, soaking up the new house.

The bottom floor consisted of the lounge room, dining room, kitchen and a bedroom. As they walked up the stairs to the second floor, Steve held Miya's hand so she wouldn't fall down. Upstairs were three more bedrooms, and a bathroom.

They all heard the slam of car doors and ran over to the nearest window, peering out over the lawn. Their friends had arrived to help them unpack all their belongings. They rushed downstairs and Dustin greeted them, smiling.

"Hi! How's little Millie?" He asked, motioning to the baby in Eddie's arms.

"She's mostly been asleep-"

"Dusty!" Miya shrieked and threw herself at Dustin who picked her up and twirled her.

"Miya! Do you like your new house?"

She nodded eagerly. "Yeah! Its so big!"

Robin walked up the driveway, followed by the other kids. Among them they had a speaker and an esky. Lucas and Will set these things down in the main room and then they all stood around as Steve and Eddie divided everyone up.

"Dustin, El and Robin can you please set up Miya's room? Then Lucas and Max can do Millie's, Mike and Will can do the kitchen, Nancy Jonathan and Eddie can do the lounge room, Joyce can you please tidy each room and Hopper there's a light in the kitchen that's not working." Steve assigned each person a task.

He would be walking around with Millie in her carrier, and cleaning and helping randomly. Around Lunch time they had finished Millie and Miya's rooms completely, the lounge room was half done and everything else was mostly still in boxes.

Joyce and Steve walked around, summoning everyone to the lounge room. They all sat around on boxes and the floor, eating sandwiches that Joyce had made before and drinking soft drink. Steve watched fondly as Erica talked softly to Millie and Mike and Eddie were chasing Miya around.

Steve had never been happier, he was surrounded by people he loved, setting up the house he'd raise his family in. Especially after all they went through a few years back, it felt nice to be normal for a day.

Life is good.
