House Valentine (GxG)

Chapter 17

The day finally came, it was officially moving day. Rebecca and I have been packing since last week, with help from the kids of course.

   We loaded up my car, my dads truck and Mikes van.

"Thanks again, guys, we definitely wouldn't have been able to move all this stuff without you." I said.

"Anytime." Mike replied.

"Seconded." My dad added.

Bailey cleared her throat.

"And thank you, Bailey, we woulda been screwed for sure without you." I said with a chuckle.

She smiled and pulled me in for a hug.

Rebecca and the kids came out the door, one last box in hand.

   "Alright, this is officially everything." Rebecca said with a smile.

Mike took the box and set it in his van.

I nodded. "Then, let's hit the road..."

We pulled into the driveway of our new house. It led way back into the wooded area behind our house. A huge garage sat off to the side of it and a barn sat way at the end of it.

After unloading everything, we decided to set everything up on our own.

"Thanks again, guys." I said.

"Yeah, we'll see you all tomorrow." Rebecca added.

After saying our goodbyes, we closed the door and examined our new house.

Rebecca let out a happy sigh. "Isn't it great?"

"Well, after we get everything set up it will be."

She gave me a playful nudge.

"Well? What're we waiting for then? Let's get to work people." She said before marching up to the first box.

The kids and I laughed as we joined her...

After a few hours, a few beers, and lots of hard work, everything was set up.

Rebecca, the kids, and I collapsed on the couch, examining our new living room.

"What do you kids think?" I asked.

They smiled. "It's awesome." Max said.

"And roomy." Anna added.

I chuckled, wrapping my arm around Anna's shoulders.

As the sun started to set, Rebecca and I laid the kids down for the night.

   We walked out onto our back patio, which had a nice picnic table and lounge chairs. A big fireplace in the middle and a nice new grill.

I sat on one of the lounge chairs and pulled Rebecca into my lap. "Well, this is it, we own a house."

Rebecca chuckled and gave me a quick kiss. "How're you feeling?"

I thought for a second before flashing her a smile. "Happy."

She gave me another kiss before leaning her head on my shoulder...

The next morning, we rushed to get everything set up for our housewarming party.

Max helped me set up streamers, while Anna helped Rebecca with the snacks and drinks.

There was a knock at our door.

"I'll get it." I said as I walked towards the door.

I opened it and greeted Wendy and Jen. "Hey, guys."
