Moving In Together

After being together for 2 years, Will asked me if Ella and I would like to move in with him. After having a talk with Ella about if she would be happy to move in with Will I said yes, but we knew we would need a bigger place than what we both have. So now we are currently house hunting with Ella
"This house is a three bedroomed house with one bathroom upstairs. Here is your living area, kitchen and dining room" the estate agent shows us the nearly empty room "if you would follow me I will show you to the master bedroom" we follow her up the stairs, Ella in Will's arms. She shows us the master bedroom and the two other bedrooms "I'll leave you guys to talks. I'll be downstairs" the estate agent leaves us alone upstairs
"So what do you think?" Will asks
"It's nice. Big enough for us. The littlest bedroom could be turned into a playroom for Ella, but if we were to have children we would have to get rid of the playroom"
"But mom you promised"
"I didn't promise I said we will see"
"I don't like this house" Ella whines. Having her input is important to both Will and I, but at the same time she is the child we are the adults
"Well we have one finally house to look at" Will says putting Ella down and holding her hand.
We arrive at the second house which is a bit bigger, but at the same time more expensive
"So unlike the last one which was open planned. This one has the living room, kitchen and dining room are all in separate rooms" already I can see how we will be able to use the space. Much like the other house there are three bedrooms, but this time we have a toilet down stairs and a bathroom upstairs. Again we are left alone to talk about the house
"I have to say, I do prefer this house to the others we have seen" I say looking around
"I like it as well, but can we afford it?" Will asks taking my hand
"Once I have sold my apartment yes. What do you think Ella?"
"I love it!" Ella shouts making me laugh
"So I suppose this is our new home then?" Will asks wrapping his arms around me
"I think so" I smile and kiss Will
"Ewww" Ella squeals hiding her eyes with her hands.

A few months later and we are moving in to our new home. Ella chose what colour she wanted her bedroom painted so now Erin, Ella, Kim, Nat. Gabby, Sylvie and I are all painting her room while Jay, Will, Connor and Kelly are building Ella's bed and dresser
"I think we all deserve a break" Jay comments standing up
"We've barely started"
"But mom, I am feeling a little hungry"
"Ok, how about I go and grab us all some food?" Will stands wiping his hands on his jeans
"There's money in my purse" I tell Will while continuing to paint the wall
"I won't be long" Will kisses my cheek and leaves the room.
By the time he returns we have the first layer drying and were all downstairs sitting on the couches while Ella is sat on the floor playing lego with Kelly. Looking around at all my friends it hits me like a ton of bricks that they truly are my family. Tears start to leak from my eyes
"Mom are you sad?" Ella asks coming up to me and wiping my face
"No baby, I'm happy, they're happy tears"
"Why?"
"Because we have all of our family here and it's making me very happy"
"I love you mom"
"I love you too baby" Ella hugs me then runs off to carry on playing with Kelly
"Your a good mom you know" Jay smiles
"And you've raised an amazing daughter" Will walks over and kisses my head
"Food!" Ella shouts running over to Will
"I'll get some plates" I say getting up from the couch.

That day we finish up Ella's bedroom, but because it smells of paint she's sleeping in mine and Will's room in between us. She currently snuggled into me while I'm playing with her hair
"I love you YN" Will says out of the blue
"I love you too. You know Ella's been asking me about having a baby since she was 2. I always said maybe one day when we find a nice man who will love both of us... we've definitely found that guy" closing my eyes I give Ella a kiss on the forehead and setting into bed feeling more happy than I ever have before.
