Chapter 2: Number 3
Landon awoke the next morning to fund Jamie asleep in his arms. He remembered the night before. They had checked into a small Bed & Breakfast for the one night. It had been magical, but the secrets will be left to the two who experienced it.
A smile crossed Landon's face. Jamie had said that she didn't feel up to going on a honeymoon, but Landon had a surprise for her. It was number 3 on her list.
A moment later Jamie woke up and rolled over. They smiled at each other for a moment.
"Good morning, baby."
"Mmm, good morning Landon."
"So, how does it feel to officially be Jamie Carter? I know I love the sound of it." He wanted to know.
Jamie thought for a moment before she replied. "It feels wonderful to be married to you, but I almost felt like we were married before. It's a little different. This is the best thing that has ever happened to me." She smiled.
Because they had to check out by noon and it was already 8:00, they decided to have a light breakfast. An order of pancakes to share and a blueberry muffin each. Landon had orange juice and Jamie had a glass of apple juice.
At 11:30 they were in the Camero and ready to go back to Beaufort. Jamie was slightly concerned because she wasn't completely sure where they were going to live. She just assumed it would be her father's house.
Landon turned down a small street lined with tall trees and stopped in front of a small white house.
"Where are we?" Jamie asked him.
"Home." Was all he replied.
A huge smile lit her face and all she could say was, "Home. My number 3!" Landon quickly got out of the car and came around to let her out. They walked hand-in-hand up to the front porch. Jamie stood there for a moment and looked around. There was a huge oak tree in the front yard with an old fashioned wooden swing hanging from one of the branches. The front port was white except the floor which was dark green.
Jamie took a deep breath and opened the door. But before she could step inside Landon picked her up and carried her over the threshold wile she bubbled over with laughter,
In the front hall were stairs leading to the second floor. There was a doorway to the immediate right where the living room was. At the end of the small hallway was another doorway that lead to the dinning room. Landon gently set Jamie back down and showed her around. Form the living room was another doorway to the dinning room and from there was the kitchen. There were another two doorways, one to the basement and another to the backyard.
For the first time Jamie noticed that all their furniture was in the house. As well as the cooking utensils.
Landon turned Jamie back around and said, "Come on, I want to show you the upstairs."
"When did you do all this?" was all she could say.
"Well, I brought all my stuff here the night before you came to stay with my mom before the wedding. And I brought your stuff that night. Do you like it?" he asked hopefully.
"Oh Landon, it's better than I ever dreamed! Thank you so much! How did you pay for it?"
"With my dad's help. You know he'd do anything for you, Jamie. He's so grateful that you brought us back together. And so am I." Landon replied.
With that said they went to look at the upstairs. At the top of the stairs was another hallway with a few doors. The one at the very end to the right was the bathroom. Next to that was a small bedroom that would be an ideal guest room. Then there was a bigger bedroom that would be their bedroom. This room had a balcony with Jamie's telescope (the one Landon made her) already in position. A little further down the hall was a room about the size of their bedroom, but with a smaller extra room. It would be a perfect nursery, if they ever had children. The last door way on the other side of the hall was to the attic.
The first thing Jamie wanted to do was go sit out on the balcony. That is exactly what they did. There was some roof over it and so a swing hung. That's where the two sat on their first day in their new home.
