<3 Stripping for Norah <3

Time to move on (Chapter 17)

OK guys, I am SOOOO sorry this took so long. I am having a lot of trouble with this pregnancy and I keep falling behind in school. plus I moved and wat not. anyways! If you like this chapter vote for it. and comment with what the puppies should be named. I think one is a boy and the other is a girl but I haven't decided. Let me know!

I awoke to the most amazing smell I had smelled in a long time. I slowly got up and started walking to the living room. I paused in the hallway where the carpet had been cut out, I stared at it for a minute or two and then I made the decision that I wanted to go pick new carpet tomorrow. I couldn't stand to look at that bare spot for any longer. I stepped over the bare spot and continued to the living room, pausing at Norah's door. I could hear her inside it sounded like she was playing with her barbies. I smiled and kept walking. No one was in the living room so I went to the kitchen to see Tucker standing at the stove humming and grunting over something that smelled delicious. He turned around and jumped when he saw me. I had to hold back a laugh. He was wearing my pink apron with his sleeves pulled up past his elbows, and he looked just terrified. When he noticed it was me, he smiled.

"How you feelin'?" He tilted his head in concern.

"Fine" I manged to choke out.

"Good" He nodded, "Norah is in her room playing Barbies." He said turning back to the stove, "And dinner is almost done. Feel like you can eat?" He asked glancing over his shoulder.

"Little" I nodded. I turned around and headed to the living room. Sitting on the couch and turning on the TV I started to relax.

Once Tucker had made Norah wash her hands and brought dinner to the table we sat down and started eating. Tucker got up and got me a notebook and a pen, I looked at him questionably.

"I wanted to talk to you about something important. I think it's a conversation you'll need to write." He stated taking another bite off of his plate. I nodded indicating him to continue.

"I wanted to talk to you about selling this house." He paused, "And maybe we can buy one together." I stared at him a minute and then picked up my pen to write.

What? Why would you want me to sell this house?

"Well I just think that maybe this one holds to many difficult memories. Also we could get one with land. So when Norah asks for her horse like all little girls do we have the space for one." He paused. "You don't have to decide right this second. I'll get a list of houses from the reality company that are in our price range and if you see one you really like then we can work towards that." I looked at him with confusion for a minute. I finally picked up my pen and started writing.

I will look, but I'm not promising that I will sell my house. I looked at him waiting for his answer. He nodded.

I'm going to the club tomorrow. I'm going to talk to him about what jobs I can start doing. Until I'm ready to dance again. If we do find a house we have to have money to buy it.

"I don't want you working more then a couple hours. I can manage the house. I have some money saved up. I'll call Lena and see if she can watch Norah tomorrow. I'll drive you to the club." He shoveled another fork full of food into his mouth. I glanced over at Norah who was stuffing only the noodles into her mouth, her face covered with the sauce. I smiled a little and took a couple more bites off of my plate. I ate more then I thought I would but I wasn't able to finish my plate. I took Norah off to the bathroom and gave her a bath and then tucked her into bed before trotting off to my own bed.

I woke up the next morning and walked out to the kitchen. Tucker was again cooking. Smelled like biscuts and gravy. He glanced over his shoulder to look at me. Giving me a little side smile, he brought Norah her plate and handed me a booklet. I opened it to see beautiful houses.
