"Ok so these are our 2 favorite houses?"
"Yep, but I like the one on the left more." Ashley just stated to John.
They couldn't just stay in a hotel room the rest of their lives so they started looking a week after he got out of the hospital. It has now been a month into the search and they limited it to 2 houses. Both had 4 bedrooms, 3 baths but one was closer to the city while the other was closer to Ashley's family.
Shepard then looked at her and said," That's because its only 20 minutes away from you family's house."
"Ya and the problem with that is?"
"Nothing, just stating facts."
"So can we get this one" she asked as she put her bottom lip out and put on her best puppy dog face.
"Yes of course as long as Joker gets to stay in the basement. He seems to like the idea and I already said he could." He just gave a little chuckle and she gave him a look that showed a laughter but a seriously look at the same time.
"What he's lonely without ED and who else will he tell his bad jokes to."
"Alright I can handle Joker but no one else."
"Ya about that." He said while trying to hold back a smile and completely failing.
"Don't even think about it."
"Wow not even married yet and already being told what to do."
"Just shut up so I can call the landlord and set up a time so we can get this settled."
He just rolled his eyes and went to heat himself up a pizza pocket.
30 Minutes Later
He was lying on the bed watching t.v. when Ashley came in and told him the details.
As she got up to leave she quickly mentioned "By the way we will be staying at my mom's house till we can actually move into our house."
Shepard almost choked on his pizza pocket when she said that. Before he could question her she ran out of the hotel room and into Joker's room to tell him the news.
"Wait, so do I get to stay at your mothers to because I think that that's a awesome idea!" Joker told her smiling.
"Ya hell no, you will be staying in a hotel that is 10 minutes away from the new house."
"But why, your family would love me."
"Yes but, you annoy the shit out of me."
"So true, fine I will stay in the hotel. Just give me the address and I will be off."
"Your reservation is already made and we leave in 2 days and it's a 6 hour drive. You leave the day after just in case you try to pull something stupid." She said smiling
She then left and went back to her and Shepard's room. She found him in the same spot as she left him.
THE DRIVE FOR SHEPARD AND ASHLEY
It was a long drive. They left about 12pm 2 days later. Joker has been messing with them since he found out that they picked that house. H said he did it now so they could get use to it while he lived with them. Sheperd was pretty sure Ashley was about to kill him while they were packing to leave the night before. He was spitting spitballs at her and about 5 minutes of that he went to his room running to keep his man parts on. She pounded continuously on his door for another 2 minutes til Sheperd talked her into finishing packing.
The first hour was her filling him in on subjects to avoid with her family and the complete family history lesson. He then told her that she should just write it down and he would look at it when she was driving which of course never happened. She figured he wouldn't but she could tell she was talking too much so she did not push the subject. The next 2 hours was filled with music on the radio, a little argument about directions, and 1 bathroom stop at a small gas station.
After they got on the road again Ashley fell asleep about 30 minutes after. She was out for about 1 hour and a half.
"Well look who decided to wake up. You know how boring it is when you can't get a radio station in the middle of nowhere and no one to talk to? It's boring; trust me I know from experience."
"Well at least we have only a 30 minute ride to go."
"Ya, 30 minutes to long."
"Oh shut up and drive faster. Let's turn it into 20 minutes."
"Yes because it's gonna look really good on the news that I got a ticket for speeding."
"Well then stop complaining."
"It's my job to complain. You're the one that wanted to do this not me."
"You wanna house or not."
"Yes, but I don't think I also need to meet your family to go with it."
"Well they need to meet you at some point."
"I'm still gonna complain about."
