House searching with Chloe and her daughters was a complete nightmare. A disaster. No it was pure hell. A torture. Beca wanted to find the perfect house as a beginning for their new lives together. A new life as a family. But beside Aubrey, no one took it seriously. She had asked them to write down what they wanted in a house. They had a family night to discuss it and Beca read what they wrote.
Her cheeks turned a bright red when she read what her fiancée had written." Beale, I can't read that aloud with my daughters around. Well, you did ask me what I looked for in a house and that 's what I want ,the redhead said with a wink. Stacie, were not turning our new house in a pole dancing studio. And Chloe our house is not becoming a paradise for dogs. And Aubrey,I appreciate your input, but seriously a 7 page long list was necessary? What? I only put the most essential things on it. ". Beca sighed. They were getting nowhere with the three of them and their damn suggestions. " I've had enough with you three", she said looking at the two redheads and Stacie.
"Chloe Eve Mitchell get your ass in your room. And that goes for you to Stacie Ann Mitchell. You're going to write down serious suggestion and when you're done you can come down and were going to discuss it". "And now out"!
The older redhead looked at her girlfriend." I'm sorry babe. I didn't know you took it so serious. Of course, I take this very serious. It's the beginning of our new life together, a new life as a family".
"You're right Becs. I am going to write down some serious suggestions Chloe said. But I still want to do the things I wrote down earlier". Beca rolled her eyes at the redheads words. "You're worse than my sixteen year old daughters, Beale. I thought they spent too much time with the Bella's, but you're much worse".
After some time the girls came down. They each had a new list with suggestion. But before they gave it to their mom, they wanted to say something. "Sorry mom, for being so childish" they said. And then they looked at Chloe. "Sorry mama, for our behavior". Chloe and Beca looked at each other in shock. "Did you two just call me mama?" They nodded. "In less than three months you will be. And since our sister had the same name, it's easier. You should apologize to your sister to Beca said. Sorry Aubrey that we didn't took it seriously. And you Beca said , turning to Chloe, should apologize to. You're supposed to be the adult here. Mama what did you wrote, Stacie asked curiously. Were so not going into that" Beca said.
"Are we going to finish this? Or shall I call Bree and ask her to help me Beca threatened."
They were now looking for a house with enough space for the five of them. At least two bathrooms. A garden with room for Bella. But not a garden that required a lot of work. None of them loved gardening. And the house couldn't be too far away from school, their work or their friends.
The girls had wanted one big room for the three of them, but Beca was against that. She knew her daughters well and Aubrey sharing a room with her sisters was not a good idea. That girl needed space for herself with her organizing habits. She agreed to look for a house with a room big enough for Chloe and Stacie to share.
They had found five houses that met their wishes. today they were going to look at them. Beca was prepared. She had called Bree to go with them. She trusted Bree's opinion.
The first house wasn't their house. It was dark and creepy. The moment they stepped in they all felt it was haunted or something. Stacie was the first one to run out of that house. "Hell no. I'm not going to live there" she stated. They all agreed with her. Beca was sure she saw ghost when she looked over her shoulder at the house.
The second house was worse than the first house, as it was dark, creepy and dirty. The third house looked like it was a set of crime scene. Complete with blood stains and police tape. Bree had warned them to not touch anything. This was definitely a no.
The fourth house was a nice house. Beca could see them living there. The house had six bedrooms and three bathrooms. And three of the bedrooms had a walk in closet. The living room was large and had a nice fireplace. The garden that was big enough for Bella. And Chloe had loved the shiny hard wood floors. This house was worth considering to be their new home.
The fifth house was equally beautiful as the fourth one. But it needed a renovation. A big renovation. There were no cupboards in the kitchen. The toilets were missing. But if they choose this house they could make it entirely as they wanted.
This needed discussion. They had now two houses to choose from. Did they wanted a house that was ready to move in? Or did they wanted a renovation project. Beca wanted the house they could move in. She really didn't see them renovating. And renovating with the Bella's involved was asking for trouble. No it would be a complete disaster. Bree, Aubrey and Chloe agreed with her. Only the older redhead and Stacie wanted the last house. They already pictured themselves as the new members of the Extreme Home Makeover members. But fortunately It was four against two. House number four was going to be their new home.
Finding a new house was one thing. But moving into the said house from two different houses was another thing. It would be an operation to do so. They needed to sort out their belongings. Decide what they wanted to keep. And what they needed to buy. Luckily Beca had Bree to help them. If it was up to Chloe and the girls things would end up in a chaos.
They were currently at Bree's house with all the Bella's present. Beca had called an emergency Bella meeting. "Hey nerds, thank you all for showing up Beca began. As you know Chloe and I bought a new house. And moving in a new house from two different houses is a challenge. Especially with them, she pointed at her fiancée and daughters. So I'm gonna need your help. With packing and with moving. So Bree helped me to make a list with which one of you is going to do what. I hope you want to help us. Of course Shortstack, Fat Amy answered. Remember Bella's for life. "
"Jessica and Ashley you are one of the most responsible Bella's so you are in charge of helping the triplets with sorting and packing. Fat Amy, Legacy, Lilly and Cynthia Rose you are in charge of helping Chloe in her house. And Stacie, Flo, Bree and are helping me with packing. And you three she said to the triplets, need to clean out your closets. All of your clothes that don't fit anymore are going. "
"Operation Moving Bhloe starts tomorrow at 8 p.m. sharp Bree said. Don't be late. Aye aye general Posen, Fat Amy said jokingly."
This was going to be a disaster to happen Beca thought when she looked in her living room the next morning. Boxes everywhere. Boxes full of stuff. Half empty boxes. Items scattered all over the place.
"Guys, just start packing boxes with items that we don't immediately need. And label them correctly please."
House searching wasn't a nightmare. Packing day was. She was already worried about moving day.
