sixteen • goodbye home

Raven's POV

Today was the day. My realtor and I were meeting with a young couple to discuss them buying my house. I would miss it dearly.

Sheila, my realtor, shakes hands with the couple first, then I do. They told us their names were Jake and Maria, and we both introduced ourselves as well.

We talked about prices and renovations and everything that you talk about when you sell a house.

"We'll take it," Maria announced.

I smile. "Great!"

My phone buzzed as I was in the Taco Bell drive through. The line was long, so I checked it.

Chris: how did it go?

Me: it went great! They bought the house

Chris: awesome, where are you?

Me: I'm getting taco bell and then going to see Reggie. Want any food?

Chris: sure, get me whatever you're getting and tell Reggie I said hi

Me: okay, gtg, I love you

Chris: I love you too

I turned off my phone right as it was time for me to order. I got four chicken burritos because I wanted to eat two and I was giving one to Reggie. The other one was for Chris.

I finally got my food and I started making my way to where Reggie usually sat. Sure enough, I saw him and Yip sitting there.

"Raven!" He exclaims. "How are you?"

I hand him the taco and begin to explain how I got my memory back. Then, I tell him that I'm pregnant.

"A little Raven!" He says excitedly. "Wow."

"Also, I'm moving to Scranton with Chris. But I'll still come visit you," I add.

He nods. "I'm proud of you. You're finally settling down. I was worried that you and that cat would live alone forever."

"Thanks," I say with an eye roll.

"Anyways, thank you for the food. Have fun with your boyfriend and the little baby."

"Here's a picture." I hand him the ultrasound picture and he smiles. "I'll bring more next appointment we have."

"Keep me updated."

I hug him and start walking back to my car. I'm happy that Reggie was proud of me. He became almost like a father figure after I met him.

I texted Chris and told him I was on my way home. I then plugged my phone into the auxiliary cord and started playing Ministry. I was happy that Chris let me use his car because it had a really good sound system.

Finally, I make it back to Scranton and I march into our apartment. Chris was on the couch, looking at things on his laptop. I hand him his taco and sit down to eat mine.

He doesn't even notice that I have two tacos, he just beings to tell me about what he found. "It's a three bedroom house with two and a half bathrooms. There's a big basement that we could turn into the music room. Oh, and the extra bedroom can be your office. There's a pool and everything!"

I nod. "That sounds really nice. Want to go visit it tomorrow?"

"Yeah, sure. It's listed at a decent price, too, and it doesn't need many repairs."

It was hard not to laugh at how ecstatic he was. I was happy just chilling and eating my tacos.

"Nice." I bite into my taco again.

He finishes his taco and lays his head down across my lap. I begin playing with his hair and he kisses my stomach.

"Hi, Criminal," he says quietly. "I'm your dad."

I smile and run my fingers through his hair again.

"I've loved your momma forever," he continues. "She's my one and only. I'm kinda hoping that she'll marry me."

I didn't realize he was serious until he got into a sitting position and pulled a box out of his pocket. A grin breaks out across my face.

"Of course I will," I cry happily when he opens the box.

Inside lays a beautiful ring. It had a black band and a purple diamond nestled in between smaller white ones. He definetly payed a pretty penny for it.

He kisses me passionately. "I love you, Mrs. Cerulli."

"I love you, too."

"We're getting married!" He shouts to nobody in particular.

I laugh and throw my hands up. "Yes we are, motherfuckers!"

I fall back into his arms. I find myself getting lost in his hazel eyes and I realize how much I love him - how much I've always loved him.

He is my one and only. My soulmate.

I kinda have writers block and I feel like this story is getting boring.
