Ethan's POV

     I see Sophie back towards the truck. She look beautiful like always. "Hey gorgeous!" I said as she climbed in. She had a smile that stretched from ear to ear. Might I add, the most wonderful smile that I've ever seen before. I leaned across the console and kissed her forehead. Then I saw two big men walk out of the door with loads of boxes. I hopped out of the truck and ran over to help them.
     The first one I picked up was one of the twins' cribs. It made me think about how happy and blessed I was. Between the three of us, it took about fifteen minutes to get everything in the bed of the truck. Some of the stuff was being shipped to the house too. I climbed back into the truck and grabbed Sophie's hand. "You ready?" I asked. "Yeah, But can we get something to eat? I'm hungry and I'm sure that Addie is too." She said. I nodded.
     When I pulled into the zaxbys, I see a crowd of girls around the door. "Shit." I mumbled. Since I didn't want to be seen, I pulled through the drive through. About 25 minutes later, I pulled into the driveway. I see about four boxes on the step. Sophie went ahead inside. She picked up a couple of boxes off of the step. "Don't worry e, they're light." She said.
     I got Addie out of the truck and carried her inside. She was still asleep. I carefully laid her on the couch (since the house already had some furniture.) I began to unload boxes and bring them into the house. We already had a paint color picked out for the only room that needed to be painted: the nursery. When I went back out to the truck to get it, I heard the door close behind me. I turned around to see Sophie's pretty smile through the door window. I smirked.
      When I walked back up to the door, she was still there waiting. I kissed her through the glass as I held up the paint buckets. When she unlocked the door and opened it, I wrapped my arms around her. When I let go, I saw that a bunch of the boxes had been moved. "I moved them to their rooms." Sophie said. I carried the paint into the nursery. The sound of little footsteps ran through the hallway. Addison ran into the room and put her arms around my neck while giggling. "Can I help paint?" She asked. I nodded and began to open the cans. I saw the perfect color that the girls had picked out.
     After about three hours, I was done. I walked into the living rooms and see Addison laying in Sophie's arm, fast asleep. She carried her out to the truck as I made sure that all of the lights were off. I locked the door and climbed into the truck. We drove home. Since I was the only one that was awake, I started to quietly play some music. After a few minutes, I hear Sophie ever so lightly humming. I kissed her hand and continued driving.
