Finding Our Way Back

Forever Home

Grant’s POV
It is December 22nd, the second day of our 2 week Christmas hiatus. We leave in 1 day to head to Texas to spend Christmas with my family and C's family because my family is coming down too. We flew in to L.A. yesterday to buy a house big enough for our growing family cause while C’s VAN apartment is big and has 2 bedrooms her one in L.A. only has 1, and that just isn’t big enough. Candice is now 8 months pregnant, but she keeps saying that she looks like a whale even though she is far from it. C: “I am so glad we are taking a PJ again because there is no way I would be able to hide this. It looks like I’m carrying twins” she pointed to her belly. G: “baby you look amazing” I go over to her, squat down, and kiss her all over her belly. C: “whatever” she playfully rolls her eyes. I then put my ear to her stomach. G: “the baby said you look amazing, and they would really appreciate if you would be a little nicer to yourself” C: “I guess but only because the baby ask me to” G: “they said thank you” I stand up and kiss her pouted lips, she just looks so adorable when she is trying to be mad. G: “I love you” C: “I love me too” I grab my chest and act like I’d been shot. G: “straight to the heart” C: “just kidding, I love you too” G: “are you ready to go house hunting” C: “yep let’s go” I grab my keys and we head out. Since C’s building has a parking garage, we don’t have to worry about anyone seeing us leaving, but we still have our disguises on just in case. We've been house hunting online for a month, and today is the only time we can see our top three before the baby is born. My stuff in L.A. is already packed form when I moved them over to C’s place and yesterday we packed most of her apartment excerpt for the things we will be using before we leave and the things we are taking to texas and back to VAN with us. We go to the house one and it is nice. There are 3 bedrooms, 2 baths and a nice open floor plan but for how small it is we think it is overpriced. We then went to the next house, which was our favorite online, but as soon as we walked in, we got a bad vibe. It had 4 bedrooms and 3 baths, but it just wasn’t right. It was missing something. We finally got to the last and final home and as soon as we walked in we knew it was the one, it had an open floor plan, 5 bedrooms, 4 ½ baths, a great backyard for the dogs and a pool. It might be a little big now, but I think we will grow into it. Besides, we love to host parties, so what’s an extra bedroom or 2. We put an offer on the house and then headed back to the apartment to relax.

Candice’s POV
We get back to the apartment, make sure everything is packed and ready, and then plop on the couch, laying sideways with me sitting in between his legs as he rubs my belly. G: “you know you are the sexiest pregnant woman I know, and the sexiest WOMAN I know ” I cover the sides of my belly. C: “shhh not in front of the baby” G: “you weren’t saying that last week” C: “well the baby was fast asleep then and right now the baby is quite awake, see” I lift my hand and show Grant how the baby is punching and kicking me all at the same time. G: “I think that’s a sign that they wanna hear their favorite song.” I see Grant pull out these old-timey headphones, and he puts them around my belly, then hooks up his phone and plays, You are my Sunshine. In an instant, the kicking subsides, and I can relax. C: “how did you know” G: “because your favorite song was the only thing that would calm your nerves when we first started filming” he always knows exactly what to say. We talk a little more before we call it a night because we have a long day ahead of us tomorrow.
