Scarlett's secret ~ (Finding A Home)

chapter 20

Mark ran over and hug me and kept saying thank you, thank you! I said you're welcome, you're welcome but don't ever ask me to change your kids diapers I said scratching up my nose.

Thank you so much Scarlett, Jennifer said I don't know how we will ever repay you for this. This is your gift!

You do not repay gifts, you just enjoy them. Jennifer came up to me and gave me a big hug and I hugged her back.

I turn around looking for my mates and went to them. I told Caleb I'm ready to give him his gift now, but I know every one was busy looking at my brother's house at the moment.

After a few minutes I went to the nearest car horn and honked it several times to get everyone's attention then I said anybody who wants to see the last two Christmas gifts needs to go to town at the fire station the gifts are in the parking lot. Me, Caleb and Ben are going to go there now I said to every one.

Once we started to climb in a vehicle everybody else started to get in their vehicles and followed us to the fire station in town when we got to town I grabbed Caleb's hand and took him over to the truck I bought for him Merry Christmas mate I said to him.

The track on the other side was for my stepdad Dean.

Kayla Penn hug me real time and kiss me on the mouth I ended up pushing away from him but still holding on to him and I was looking around for being I stuck out my arm for him to come and walked over and grabbed his hand and pulled him back over to us and we all ended up hugging each other and I said I meant what I said no one gets left out and I ended up kissing both of them one after the other we were in her happy little bubble.

Dean ended up walking over to me and pull me in for a hug and I hugged him back he gave me a kiss on the head and pulled back and asked. Scarlett how in the world did you pay for all this stuff I know you said you had an online business and you got money from your father's military but all this seems like more than that.

Yes I had money from my father's death insurance he was also the power of attorney over my grandmother if something happened to her so I had that money too and the money I had for the small online business but my dad left me something else that was passed down to him and was passed down to me. So I am financially stable in life. And I didn't just go spending money really I bought everybody practical gifts except for you all I don't want to see either one of you it hurt because I've lost enough family already. I know the one for a truck that you all have is it enough to do the things you always have to do. And these two trucks will help you with that. I rather you all have newer better equipment and more reliable equipment and have more than you need than not enough they ain't amount in this world that could replace either one of you. I want to keep all three of you in my life or four should I say counting my brother. The home I bought for my brother is something that he can pass on to his children he will never have to worry about having a home for himself and a way to provide for his family. But I'm not giving him a handout just a leg up, he will have to be responsible for paying the taxes and to keep the electric and water on.

Just in my mother walked up and hugged me and started crying I know I've said this a lot and I'm so sorry for how I treated you and I regret it every day of not getting to know you and for all the times that I said that you were ungrateful you have a heart that is more pure than even my own your heart is so kind and you are so gracious you think of others before you think of yourself and I'm sorry that I didn't see it sooner I love you my daughter. I love you too Mom. I'm turned around to my mates and said there is one more place I want to go with the both of you I said to Ben and Caleb. Since I walked over to them I turned around to my parents and said Mom and Dad I'm not going to be home tonight but I will call you first thing in the morning there is something that I want to show my mates first and then tomorrow morning I want to show both of you and my brother and his mate. It is not a Christmas gift, it is just something that I have been working on. I will call you all sometime in the morning love you both. We love you to sweetheart.

Okay I'm driving so one of you is going to get in the passenger seats and the other one needs to drive the Jeep and follow behind me I said to both of them as I climbed in the truck.

Ben got in the truck with me and Caleb got in the Jeep and he followed me up to the house that I bought to start our lives in. We parked the vehicles and I  walked up to the side porch then I turn around to talk to them.

They were standing on the asphalt on the porch rails while I was standing between the two rocks. I just want to let you both know that I am very thankful for both of you even though Ben I just met you today but I believe in my heart that it was meant to be. This place here I think is very beautiful and I love how it overlooks the valley and it's not too far from town. This is the home that I want us to live in and to grow old in. I did buy this house for us all. I know that I still have 14 days until my 16th birthday but this is a gift that I bought for myself a place that I can call home that would be my home that I will share with the people that the goddess has blessed me with. For the last few days before Christmas Eve I have been feeling off and very sick and I couldn't understand why that was but when you came in to the house and hug me all that that I was feeling went away. I really do believe that the moon goddess was telling me in a way that I didn't understand that she was gifting me with another mate.
