Coming Home

*edited

/Tessa POV /

"Come on," Will says.

"I'm coming, give me a second, our luggage is heavy, and shouldn't you be helping me some more." I say

"Yeah, should be", Will smirked.

I glared at him. "Oh lighten up Tessie, I'm just excited to move into my, I mean, our house." Will said with a grin plastered across his face.

"I know you are, you couldn't stop talking about the Ravenscar Manor the whole carriage ride here. I still don't see you coming to help me."
Will smiled and knelt down to pick up a couple bags. He stood and kissed me on the temple.

"See, I helped you, now can we go and explore our house? I've never been inside it besides sitting in the parlor when we told my parents we were getting married."

I smiled, thinking about the time when Will introduced Gabriel Lightwood as Gabriel Lightworm. Will could get under Gabriel's skin like no one else could, it is actually quite amusing watching them bicker back and forth.

Will and I walked up the stone path to the manor. Will took our newly made key out and unlocked the door. We walked in and I gasped, I've been here once before but the grand hallway still takes my breath aways. It is big and open with staircases hugging the left and right side of the wall. The end of the banisters had elegant swirls and carvings on it. The hallway continued under where the 2 staircase connected to make a balcony.

"I can't believe my parents let us have this place", Will said with awe. I can't believe it either, when we broke the news of our marriage to his parents they said we could have this manor as our own and they would move back to Wales. They had no reason to stay in England with the Magister gone. The Ravenscar generation had long since died out. Cecily stayed behind, for she has moved in with Gabriel as he is courting her. Will didn't much agree with that, but he beared through it for his sister's happiness, but Will still manages to annoy Gabriel to no end.

Our servants Evan and Delia came out to greet us. Delia had long auburn hair and emerald green eyes and was almost a full head shorter then me. Evan has ashy, blond hair with light brown eyes and was almost as tall as Will. They seemed like pleasant people on the outside.

Delia informed us that our footman, Charles, had been called away for that day. Will said that was fine and that Delia should tell Charles we are in need of his service in 2 days. We, well I, will be going to the institute in London to start planning my wedding with Charlotte and Sophie. Jessamine, I imagine, would have loved to plan a big wedding. Fashion and style was her area of expertise.

"Uhhhh Tess? Delia just asked if we have a preference for which bedroom we would like to use," Will said while waving his hand in front of my face to get my attention.

"Ohhhhh I don't care that much, but if you prefer one then you choose Will." Truth is as long as I'm with Will I could sleep in the barn with him.

"Ok, I'll go an inspect the bedrooms," Will states. He kisses me on the cheek. I blush because he did that right in front of the servants. Then Will bounds up the stairs.

I chuckle to myself. Will can be such a child sometimes. Then I sigh because a long, tiring move in is ahead of us.
