"Chase, what is this for?" I asked as my face began to hurt from how much I was smiling.

"To show my appreciation for my beautiful mate," he said as he gestured to the scene before me.

We were back at the spot he had announced would be where our house would be built. Although this time there were strings connected to small posts and creating what I assumed to be outlines of rooms. In what seemed to be to the back of the house was a blanket on the ground lined with candles and a basket. There was also a book.

"I know I said I wanted to wait till after the ceremony, but I thought if we got started it's just one more thing for us to look forward to. Also, I had to keep up my reputation for being cliché," he said with a wink and I giggled.

"Well, it's true! But, I love it," I said as I kissed his cheek before walking over to the basket.

"So, I kinda thought maybe this would be the kitchen," he said as he walked up behind me and placed his arms around my waist, "With windows, so we can put a playset in the backyard and watch the kids."

I started to tear up and he quickly spun me around to face him.

"Hey, what's wrong? Do you not like it? We can put it wherever you want. We can live in a cardboard box as long as I'm with you," he said as he brushed the hair out of my face and a tear from my cheek.

"No, Chase, I love it. I just-" I sighed before continuing, "I just never thought I'd be here. I never thought I'd be planning a house or planning my life like this. I never had a say in my life until I came here and I never even thought about having kids until I met you. I didn't want to bring children into an atmosphere like that. Hell, I didn't even know if I would live that long. I just feel like my life is finally coming together."

His face became stern, but his eyes softened as they looked into mine and he said, "Hailey, he will never hurt you again. I will die before that bastard can come within thirty feet of you. Your life will never be like it was, you are in control. You are my equal and you always will be."

I smiled through my tears and kissed him passionately. He lifted me off the ground and I wrapped my legs around him. We continued kissing for a few more minutes before I quickly became aware of the fact that we were in the middle of a field. I broke away and could feel myself blushing. Chase noticed this and began to chuckle.

"Why are you blushing so hard?" he asked as he tightened his grip on me.

"I realized we were standing in the middle of an empty field, not our actual kitchen, and anyone could watch our makeout session," I said as I tried to wiggle out of his grasp.

"If you keep wiggling like that they'll see more than a makeout session," he whispered huskily in my ear.

I gasped and smacked his arm as he chuckled.

"Chase Greyson Willix! No, they will not!" I said blushing even harder and he finally set me back down.

We walked to the blanket and sat down to eat. After we both got quite full he pulled the book out and handed it to me.

"These are some ideas that are already drawn up, there are a few different options. And if you like one thing on one but some of the other stuff on the other we can combine it. I want this to be your dream home," he said almost shyly.
