Chapter 44: Big Decisions
Rae and John were downstairs at the dining room table with their boys as they ate breakfast when Heather, Brock, Rayne, Amanda, and Randy came into the kitchen. Rae looked at John and sighed heavily, they had made a big decision and were planning on telling the others, but Rae didn't know how to do it. She sighed heavily, and looked at her friends, "Heather, Amanda, there's something I need to tell you guys." John nodded in agreement and looked at Brock and Randy. Heather looked up from giving Rayne a cup of juice while Amanda looked at Rae concerned, "Please don't say you're pregnant." Rae smirked and shook her head, "No, I'm not pregnant. But this is a big thing." Heather then looked concerned, "What's wrong?" Rae swallowed hard, "John and I have decided to move out." "What," Heather practically screamed. Rae sighed heavily, "Look, there's 10 people living here, soon to be 11," she said nodding to Amanda's growing stomach. Rae looked back at her friends, "If you guys want to stay here, fine, I'll sell you the house, but we've got to get our own place," she said, almost pleading with her friends to understand. Heather sighed heavily and looked at Amanda, who seemed more understanding. Rae swallowed, "We're not moving far, we're gonna be stayin in Ocean City, but we just want to find our own place." Heather shook her head, "Well, if you're moving out of here, then I don't wanna stay." Amanda nodded in agreement, "It won't seem right if you're not here Rae. The THREE of us lived here." Rae sighed heavily and got up from the table, "Then I guess the house is going up for sale, and we're just gonna scatter." She then walked out of the kitchen. John looked at Randy, "Watch the boys for me?" Randy nodded then John got up to follow Rae up to their bedroom. Heather got up from the table and stormed to the back porch. Brock looked at Randy and Randy just nodded. Brock went to follow his wife out back. Randy looked at Amanda, "Who's gonna watch our kid?" Amanda laughed and shook her head.
Rae was sitting on her and John's bed looking at the picture of her and her two best friends. Rae sighed heavily and looked around the room as John walked in. John leaned against the doorframe, "You okay?" Rae shrugged, "Yeah, but it'll be weird, the three of us just splittin like this." John walked over and sat down next to Rae on the bed, "It's not like we're moving to a whole other country, I mean, it's just another house." Rae shook her head, "It doesn't feel like that. We've been living together since we met." John nodded, somewhat understanding, and wrapped an arm around Rae's shoulders. He looked down at the picture and kissed his fiancé's cheek, "It's the smart thing to do. I mean, what if we have another kid?" Rae scoffed, "That's not happening." "I'm just saying." Rae nodded and rested her head on John's shoulder, "I know babe." John kissed the top of her head and sighed heavily.
Heather was standing on the side porch watching the ocean. Brock came out and wrapped his arms around her, "You okay?" Heather hugged her husband back and shrugged, "I don't know." "Talk to me." Heather looked up at Brock and sighed, "It's weird, I mean the three of us not living together." Brock nodded in understanding, since Heather had left South Dakota and returned to Maryland, the three friends were nearly inseparable, except when Heather and Rae had their little thing. Brock sighed and kissed Heather's cheek, "Rae said they were just moving out, she didn't say they were leaving the country." Heather nodded and pulled from Brock, "I understand that, but it still sucks. The three of us breaking up is something I don't want to think about." Brock sighed and hugged Heather again. He closed his eyes as he heard her sniffle. He shook his head and turned his attention to the water.
That night, Amanda and Randy were lying in bed. Amanda was on her side, facing away from Randy, and he was snuggled up against her with his arms wrapped around her. He would occasionally rub her stomach and kiss her neck. She seemed a little standoffish and Randy noticed, "Amanda, are you okay," he asked after like a half-hour. Amanda sighed and sat up, "I totally understand why Rae and John have decided to move out, but it's so weird. I can't imagine living here without Rae, I mean this is originally her place, but this is OUR home. All THREE of us. It doesn't seem right with one of us leaving. It was weird when Heather left, but now that Rae has decided to move out, it's just down right insane." Randy sat up and kissed Amanda's exposed shoulder, "It'll be okay. If you want, we can get our own place too. It won't seem as odd then." "What about Heather?" "She and Brock have lived together, without you and Rae, before, I think she'd be okay with it." Amanda nodded and laid back down. Randy laid next to her and kissed her cheek.
The following morning, Rae came bounding into the kitchen with a huge smile on her face. Heather and Amanda looked at her like she was insane. Rae smiled and sat at the table, "I have a GREAT idea." Amanda looked at Rae, confused, "Share." Rae smiled, "I figured out a way the three of us can have our own place, but still be close." Amanda cocked a curious eyebrow as Rae slapped a piece of paper on the table. Heather picked it up, "15 acres, outside of Ocean City." She looked at Rae, confused, "What's this got to do with anything." Rae smiled and looked back and forth between her friends, "All three couple pitch in a fair amount of money for this property, and build our own houses on it. It'll be like our own little development." Amanda smiled and looked at Heather, Heather seemed ecstatic. Rae shrugged, "What do you guys think?" Heather smiled, "It's a great idea Rae." Amanda nodded in agreement. Rae grinned and nodded, "It's settled."
