Chapter One
"BARRYYYYYY" I yelled, hands covering my plump belly. "I want cookie dough ice cream"
"Honey, Iris has just gone to pick you some up after you finished the other… 7 pots." Barry stated after quickly surveying the area that was covered in ice cream pots. Never had Barry thought he would have a beautiful wife, coming up to their one year anniversary, who is half way through her pregnancy of their child.
"Cait, Barry. I got the ice cream." Iris said, appearing in the doorway of their small living room.
"Thanks. Barry, I think we need a new house. When the twins come there is not going to be enough room. I mean, its fine for us but we need another bedroom for guests too. Iris and Eddie can't keep sleeping on the sofa." I said with a little sigh.
"Okay then. Get your bag, we are going house hunting." Barry said, looking at Iris.
"Yeah I'll just get going." Iris muttered, waving before heading out the door.
"Okay, so this house has 4 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, a library, a dressing room, a study, a large family living room, a utility room and cellar joined to the large open plan dining room and kitchen" The person who was showing us around, Chris said as he opened the front door to the large, modern family house that was painted white with ivy crawling up the front. It had a double garage and double parking space, perfect for gatherings.
The inside was perfect. It had white carpet and white walls in the large hallway that lead to five doors. There were grand stairs that led upstairs with a silver banister on each side of them. We then went into the kitchen diner to see a large kitchen with an island in the middle. The worktops were black granite and the cupboards were shiny and white with a door leading to a utility room and another to a cellar. There was an archway leading to a big dining area. After, we went into the next room, the living room. It was large and plain, but Barry and I could add some character to it. The study was medium sized and had built in shelves for mine and Barry's documents. The bathroom had silver tiled walls and white tiled floors, but was fairly small. The other room was a storage room for coats and shoes.
Next, we went upstairs and saw a large hall with 6 white doors. The first two doors lead to the two biggest bedrooms which both had ensuites. The master bedroom had a door leading to a dressing room which had a plush pink square seat, a huge walk in wardrobe and built in remote control shelves. The two ensuites had silver tiles on the walls and white on the floor, a big bath which had dolphin taps, a toilet, bidet, sink and shower. The other bathroom did not have a shower, only a bath. The library was small but would be perfect for our, I mean my, extensive collection of books.
When Chris had left I said to Barry "This is perfect!" he smiled.
"You really want it, don't you?" I nodded furiously. "I think this will be a perfect place to bring up the babies. Nice neighbourhood, a little out of the city, new build, modern, plenty of room and everything we need."
"And it has a library. Have any other girl come here, they will be squealing over the dressing room while I am over here with my nose in a book." I joked. Barry laughed and took my hand, whisking me down the stairs.
"Barry, can you get that last box for me?" I asked as he nodded, running back to our old house to get the last box. I laughed as I started unpacking a box labelled 'living room'.
"Got it!" Barry cheekily grinned at me. Soon after I was enveloped in yellow light as Barry started unpacking around me. "Done!" He exlaimed.
"Wow. Even faster than packing Mr. Allen." I said as I leant up to him.
"All to please you Dr. Allen." He muttered, landing a quick kiss on my lips. "Now come on, Pregnant Elephant Lady must be getting pretty hungry now." He grinned at me before disappearing before I could slap him.
"Barry, after can we decorate the twins' bedrooms?" I called out, going into the kitchen.
"Okay, so for the girl, I want white walls with a baby pink feature wall, her cot is white and so is her wardrobe, chest of draws and pirate chest for her toys. She will have the ensuite because when she is older she will not want to share a bathroom with her brother."
Before I has even finished my little rant about men's bad hygiene, Barry had painted the walls and was sat in a chair eating a chocolate bar.
"That okay Dr. Allen?" He challenged me. I rolled my eyes.
"Yeah that's fine. Okay lets go sort out our bouncing baby boy's room."
"So I was thinking white walls, with a forest going around the skirting boards, he has the same furniture as his sister so as soon as the base has dried you can get going on the forest." I handed him the piece of paper with it drawn on. His eyes widened "Good luck. I am going shopping for baby supplies"
