Judith POV

"Are you ready?" Alec looked at me. I gave him a nervous smile and buried my face into his chest.

"I'm nervous. I've never been away from this place." I told him.

"Think of it as a holiday. Just you and me, we can do anything and just be us. Marco told me he has a spare house waiting for us to stay in when we get there. It will literally be like staying in a villa somewhere, but it's a house." Alec chuckled a little. "Judith you don't have to do this if you're not ready."

"No we're going. Like dad said, nothing will get done if we live in fear." I muttered. "I'm more worried about mum and dad."

"We'll be fine, darling." My dad said coming up behind me. I turned my back to Alec to look at my parents. "All you need to worry about is having fun, let go of yourself. No kids yet, make the most of it. We're not going anywhere, and we know where you are."

"Baby there's so many people here, we'll never be alone." My mum smiled. "You have a phone, you can call us at any time, we'll be waiting no matter day or night. We went many years without you, I'm sure a month will be no different. Besides, me and your dad get the house to ourselves for a month."

"Oh my god. Okay I really don't have to worry then." I rolled my eyes. "Will I be getting sibling any time soon?"

"I doubt it sweetheart, but I'm sure if we could this house would be far from empty right now." My mum smiled sadly.

"Would you? Have more kids if you could?" I asked them.

"Without a doubt." They replied.

"Then try. You have a month, and if I like there you'd have forever. You don't have to focus on me anymore and I know you'd want this. So please, promise me you'd at least try. I'd love a little brother or sister." I smiled.

"Okay. Now go, have fun. The sooner you guys leave the sooner you might get a sibling." My mum laughed. I hugged them tightly, we all said goodbye and we got in the car.

"Everyone ready?" Marco asked. We nodded and set off. I looked behind me to see my parents waving, I waved back smiling, knowing they're going to be okay. And maybe they will have the house full soon enough.

After a few hours we got to the pack. Marco parked in front of a beautiful house. "Welcome to your temporary home. It's not much, but Alec chose it so you could have privacy. The pack can sometimes get a bit overwhelming when new people come." Marco said.

"We're staying in this house?" I asked in shock. Alec nodded with a smile. "It's beautiful. Not too big, not too small. It's perfect." I smiled.

"I knew you'd like it. No one picked this house because it's far from the other houses. They are all somewhat close together just incase of an emergency. But I figured we could do with privacy, a safe space for when you get overwhelmed by everything." Alec told me.

I nodded and got out of the car, Alec following with Marco, Whitney and Grayson. Alec and Marco got our stuff from the car while I looked around, a few people dotted around that looked at me. I gave them a smile and waved automatically getting the same back from them.

"This place looks amazing. I can't wait to see everything." I stated.

"Let's get you settled first, unpack, I'll make us some lunch. It's still a bit early for dinner but a late lunch is better than nothing. And you didn't eat earlier so you need to have something." My mate told me.

"You literally fed me a feast for breakfast. I think I'll be good to go until dinner." I laughed. Alec just rolled his eyes with a smile.

"We'll come see you later, I'll show Judith around. Do you want to have dinner together or are you sick of us?" Alec chuckled as he looked between Marco and Whitney.

"Nah we're sick of you." Marco laughed letting me know he was joking around while Whitney slapped his chest. "I'm joking. Honestly I don't care. I'm wanting a BBQ so I might just link the pack and make a thing of it. Welcome Judith to the pack, it'll be an easy way to get used to everyone."

"Sounds amazing. I can't wait." I replied.

"Alright then. We'll get going, I'll text Alec what time it starts and we'll see you later." Marco said.

I nodded. "See you later." The family got back into the car and drove off leaving me and Alec with our stuff outside the house. We both grabbed our stuff and went inside, Alec finding the key under a plant pot by the front door.

My mouth fell to the floor when we entered. It was a wide space, the living room and kitchen in the same space but a counter splitting it from the carpeted living room to the tiled floor of the kitchen. The living room was a light grey with dark grey accents, sofas, cushions, the walls painted a light grey. What I pictured my own home to be like.

"Come with me. You should see the bedroom." Alec smiled. I followed him up the stairs that was hidden by a wall, before it a small hall leading to a door which I'm assuming is to a garden.

When we got up the stairs, there was a long hall all lined with doors. "Not all of them are rooms, but most are. A couple cupboards for storage. There are eight doors here, two of which are cupboards. Leaving six rooms, one of us which is the master bedroom, five for our future family." Alec smiled at me. He lead me to the bottom of the hall where the last door was.

Once again my jaw dropped seeing how big the bedroom is. A bed pushed up in the middle of the wall, dark grey laminate flooring, dark grey bed sheets on the bed. I mean after a while it'll be more homey, our bedroom when I give it a few changes. But other than that it's perfect. Outside of the bedroom door, there were two other doors which I peeked in to. One a walk in wardrobe, almost like it was split down the middle for my side and Alec's. The other door a huge bathroom with a bathtub and shower, separated.

I mean, I had both but my shower head was in the bathtub at home. It was one or the other. But here I could have a bath while Alec showers, or the other way around, or we'd do both together. This house is absolutely amazing. Small and homey but has enough room to fit the perfect family in. Five rooms to fill, it'll take some time but I'm sure one day we'd be where we want to be.

Happy and content with little feet running around. And for that day, I can't wait to see it.

Another chapter, hope you enjoyed.
