Chapter 148

~One Week Later~
A lot can change over the course of a week. Like literally. For not only was I blissfully fucked after coming home after our weeklong honeymoon I was now being shown something that would forever change our entire life.
My husbands each taking me to where the family estate was. The same estate we had the mascaraed ball at. A small shiver rising at the thought. A piece of me still weary of the place since I nearly drowned that day in the pool but Reece, Dylan and Caleb each assure me that things would be better.
Our car soon pulling towards the estate. The estate different. Almost like it been remodeled. My eyes shifting to that of my men. Grant soon putting the car into park before turning it off.
“We’re here.”
“Thank you Grant.”
Nodding his head does Grant move to open our door. Caleb the first one to exit followed by Dylan. Both soon standing near the car as Reece then moves to exit. My own body following as I move to slide out, only to pause. Reece’s hand now in my direction as he offers me his hand.
A hand I take as he helps me to stand. My eyes soon locked on the massive estate.
“Whoa… Did you guys remodel it?”
“Kind of”
Nodding my head, I’m completely unsure of what to say or do next. Reece taking that time to lead me inside. Caleb and Dylan both close behind as they each follow us into the massive house. Grant trailing behind as we all soon enter the foyer. The whole lower level furnished with things from our home. Confusion quick to rise as I speak.
“Reece? I’m confused, what’s going on here?”
Chuckling, Reece uses a hand to caress my face. The touch soft as he then moves to speak. “That’s because we live here now baby.”
“What?”
Confusion still evident as I attempt to listen to what he just said. Caleb and Dylan both simply amused as Dylan speaks next. “He said, we all live here now.”
Blinking again do I soon find my voice. “I know… but how? I would have seen us move here.”
“We did it during our honeymoon baby. We had movers all come and move all our things. Including the stuff from mom and dad’s old place. Things we thought you would want as a reminder of them.”
At the mention of that do tears begin to rise. My eyes instantly spotting things that reminded me of them. My feet quick in leading me towards the left. The main living room if I remembered correctly.
Reece and his brothers just simply watching even as I continued to look. A look of awe along my face as voices soon greet me upon entering. Voices that soon draw my attention. Kris and Hayden both standing within the room. My eyes quick in spotting a small baby bump. My heart racing as I run towards that of my best friend.
“OMG! KRIS! ARE YOU PREGNANT?”
Nodding her head does Kris move to speak. “Yeah, I’m slowly approaching my 20 weeks.”
“20 weeks? That means….”
“Yeah. I was pregnant prior to you getting married.”
“Why didn’t you tell me?”
“Because I didn’t want to worry you. You had so much going on with your own pregnancy and crazy people all after you that I didn’t want to add to the stress of you knowing. Plus you were getting married and it was supposed to be about you not me. Besides, there Grant and Haydens.”
When suddenly hearing that do I instantly turn to look at Hayden and Grant. Both just smirking as Kris continued to stand next to her men. A squeal rising as I move to hug my friend. “I’m so beyond happy for you. Just know that the moment I have time, I’m planning you a baby shower.”
“I look forward to it”
Smiling again, does Reece clear his throat. The sound catching each of our focus. A smile resting along his face as I speak. “Reece?”
“What if we told you that you’ll have all the time in the world to be with Kris and then some?”
“Huh?”
“What he means there sweetheart is that Kris is officially moving in with us. She’s staying with Grant and Hayden up in there room.”
“WHAT?!”
“Yes. We converted the upper floor of the house to hold the needs of what people needed it to be.”
Their words slowly sinking in. My mind soon trying to process the words as I slowly let them in. As if the world might end because of something they’ve said. My thoughts still baffled. My face clearly reflecting how I felt because Caleb took that time to speak up next.
“What Reece and Dylan both meant to say was, that the second floor was converted to house all the staff that we own. For people like Mrs. Foster and Mr. Gray and those whole help on a long term basis’s. The third floor was convert into a nursery slash playroom for all the babies we’ll have including whatever Kris and them have.”
A blush now rising along Kris’s face. The thought of both Kris and I raising children together was something we once both dreamt about.
Caleb quick to drawing my focus as he continued to explain about the house. “The last level, which is the fourth floor was sub-divided into three.”
“Three? Why?”
“Yes three”
“Okay, but again why?”
“Because a third of it was given to Kris and her men while a third of it went to Alanna. The last third of it goes to us.”
At the mention of Alanna do my eyes go wide. A knowing look rising along each of my men. “Yes baby. Alanna is staying. She’ll always be here until you no longer need her.”
My heart suddenly full. The thought of having everything and everyone in one place made having a home more bearable. To know I would never have to say goodbye to Kris when it was getting to be too late or worry that Alanna might not come back made everything within my world right. Because at the end of every journey I was finally getting what I always wanted. A home. And a place where those I loved were all in one single place.
