HOUSE HUNTING
It had taken the couple a year to move in with each other Maggie had been hesitant worried that if she spent too much time with Alex living together that her girlfriend would eventually get tired of her presence so after many hours of convincing Maggie that she would never get tired of her presence Alex managed to convince her to move in together. They had tried to live in Alex's apartment for the first four months but it ended up not having enough space to fit the two of them comfortably. So they had finally come to the conclusion that they should get a house of their own they could build one or buy.
They had started off by talking to J'onn about what they could get the DEO to add to the house for extra protection and so that they would be able to have access to anything they needed from home especially after the kidnapping. So after another three weeks of arguing with J'onn and other authorities at the deo they were ready to be able to start the search for their new home. So after hours going over house plans and sizes choosing beds and other furniture for the house they were finally able to be ready to search.
That's how they ended up outside a gated community just shaking their heads as the realtor tried to convince them that they could fit it into their budget after spending the last few days looking at houses that had almost immediately been shot down by either Maggie or Alex who had both become rather paranoid with safety. So eventually the real estate agent had gotten quite fed up with the two and ended up simply handing them a list of houses and announcing that she quite.
" How could she just quit on us she said she was a realtor what kind of weak ass realtor quits on us" Alex had been ranting for the last few minutes on the fact that their realtor had quit Alex had not taken it well that much was obvious.
" Alex we were slowly driving her insane. We would have quit if we were in her place." Maggie was trying to be the voice of reason throughout this whole process Alex had turned on her controlling nature when they had started looking for a house Alex had been paranoid on the security since her kidnapping she had been having trouble sleeping and it had taken weeks to get her to relax after her kidnapping. So when they had decided that they would move out of the old apartment alex had decided that she would make sure that this home would last that it would make them both feel safe.
" Yeah yeah i guess we were a bit much on her" alex said while deflating some.
" lets just sit down and look through some houses ok we have got this on our own babe." Maggie said motioning for her girlfriend to sit next to her at the table. The two sat looking over different houses occasionally Maggie would point out one from the computer to alex who would then try to list a series of reasons why it was not good enough for the two of them. Maggie herself was beginning to doubt whether alex had really wanted to move in with her in the first place because she seemed to not even consider most places at all.
" Alex are you even looking at these houses" Maggie said she was beginning to get frustrated with her girlfriend.
" I am i swear i just am not seeing anything I can see us in" A;ex said with a sigh looking over at the woman she loved. She looked at the detective's downtrodden expression and scooted closer leaning onto her lover's shoulder. She kissed Maggie's cheek gently trying to change the topic by distracting the detective.
" Alex talk to me i know when something is wrong and something is wrong I can feel it" maggie said looking into her girlfriend's eyes.
"Nothing's wrong Maggie i promise" Alex's words were not as convincing as she had wanted them to be.
" alex please i thought we had talked about this " The two had already had numerous conversations about making sure they both communicate the both of them would tend to shut other people out when things got emotional.
" Ok ok it's just i really want to make sure it's is the perfect place ok and nothing i see is perfect, this place is going to be our home just for us it's where we will have so many firsts and it's where we can have a dog and we can have kids and where we will make our lives it;s important and nothing here is good enough for that future" Alex finally said she seemed to almosts to go between bold and timid with her voice as she spoke.
" Alex, you know it does not matter whether we are in a cardboard box or a giant mansion it's going to be home for me if you are there I love you i don't care about the place we can make wherever we go our home. It will never be perfect because that is just far to impossible and you know that. You are far to smart to try and believe that there is going to be a house that has everything we will make a lot of compromises babe it is a fact. This place will not be forever knowing us we will probably move a few times and if our kids are anything like you there is a high likelihood that they will eventually blow up some part of the house." Maggie reached under Alexs chin and rested their foreheads together leaning into her lover she gave Alex a tender kiss. There were tears at the edge of Alex's eyes she tried to pull back and wipe at them without Maggie noticing.
" Are you crying on me Danvers" Maggie's voice was thick with emotion while she smiled sweetly her eyes were watery.
" no there's just something in my eye" Alex said smiling back at her girlfriend as she turned away from her.
"You so are no way you're going soft danvers" Maggie teased lightly walking towards her lover who was looking over the window.
" ugh and you were not getting all sappy on me with the talk of living in a cardboard box" Alex teased back turning back towards her girlfriend smiling brightly. Maggie walked up to her and pulled her to her by the hips putting their bodies together and resting their foreheads together. She gently locked lips with her girlfriend they kissed sweetly for a few moments before Alex pulled back and grabbed her girlfriend's hand pulling her over to the table.
" Why don't we get back to looking at those houses" she said sitting down and pulling the shorter woman into her lap to sit and look at the computer. The two sat looking through houses that night occasionally kissing and laughing at random comments on the houses it turned out when Alex was not worried about making sure that every piece of the house was perfect she would make sarcastic commentary on the description of the house by the realtor.
It took almost two weeks of them working with different realtors to make offers on houses they had fun looking at different houses this time both of them going in more light hearted at the prospect of moving. The two of them finally found a house in a small neighborhood inside of the city it was nice and bright with good neighbors they had a fence in the back yard it was perfect for them to have a dog. It took a few more weeks for them to get completely ready to move and then another few days to move into the house with convincing Kara to unpack most of their things for them.
