Chapter 3: Finding a house!
Today, Danny and Sam once again met with Michelle Flanagan. They were looking at a 5 bed room, 3 bath, house. Sam had a good feeling about the day. They met Miss. Flanagan at 1:20pm in front of the house. She led them to the porch.
"Now before we go in, this is in your price range, but it needs some fixing up. That's the reason it's not so much as it would normally be."
"That's fine; we were looking forward to fixing up our own place." Danny said.
Michelle led them inside to a nice open living room. Sam loved it, and judging by the look on Danny's face, he did to. Off of the living room was a spacious dining room. Down the hallway was the bathroom and further back was the kitchen. The backyard was a very nice and Sam and Danny were surprised to see a pool. Michelle had not mentioned that.
"I like it so far, let's see the upstairs." Danny said.
They followed Miss. Flanagan upstairs. They were led into the mast bedroom. This one was a white bedroom with lilac carpet. The master bathroom was again, connected to the bedroom. There was also another bathroom upstairs.
"This is very nice Danny." Sam said.
About an hour later, after seeing all the rooms, Danny, Sam and Michelle stood outside in front of Danny's car.
"Well Sam what do you think?" Danny asked.
"I love it! It's perfect. A lot of room for children." Sam nudged.
"My thoughts exactly." Danny smiled. "Michelle…we'll put our offer in."
"Great! I'll call in 1-3 days to tell you if the offer was accepted." Michelle said.
"Wonderful. Thank you so much." Sam said shaking hands with her.
On the ride home, Danny and Sam both agreed to not tell their parents unless they defiantly got the house.
2 days later
Danny had just gotten home from work about an hour ago. He was now lying across his bed sleeping. The ringing of his cell phone woke him up.
"Uh," he moaned as he reached for his phone. "Hello?"
"Danny? It's Michelle."
"Michelle, hi! What's the word?"
"Congratulations Danny, you and Sam are the new owners of a house."
"Oh my God!" He exclaimed, "Thank-you so much Michelle."
"Your welcome, you and Sam need to sign some papers, how about stopping by my office later?"
"We'll be there." Danny smiled.
"Great, well I'll see you then! Bye."
"Thanks Michelle." Danny said as he hung up the phone. He then dialed Sam as fast as he could.
"Hello?" Sam answered the phone.
"Hello beautiful." Danny said.
On the other end Sam blushed, "Hello handsome."
"Guess what?"
"What?" she asked.
"We got the house!"
Sam lost her breath, "Are you serious?"
"Yes!"
"Oh my God Danny is this wonderful!" She cried.
"Michelle wants us to stop by her office tonight and sign the papers."
"Oh yea of course, I'll pick you up around…6:00?"
"Sounds great gorgeous." Danny said.
"Danny, stop, I'm blushing to no end."
"Well get used to it, just wait until we're married!"
They both laughed and talked for a little while longer.
"Well it's almost five, I'm going to get something to eat and then I'll pick you up in about an hour." Sam said.
"Ok, I love you beautiful."
"Love you to handsome."
Sam hung up the phone a broke out into a huge grin. She couldn't believe it. In about two months they would be married and have their own home. Sam hummed merrily while making dinner. She heard noises in the living room and walked in to see what was going on. She walked into the living room and saw her parents.
"Samantha!" Her mother said.
"Mom! Dad! You guys are home early. I thought you were coming back in two more days."
"Well we decided to come home early; after all we wanted to see our beautiful bride-to-be daughter." Her father said.
Sam gave her parents hugs and said that dinner was ready. She brought our turkey with mixed vegetables and rice. They all sat down together.
"Mom, dad, I have an announcement."
"Another one? First the date of the wedding now what?" Her mother kiddingly asked.
"Danny and I…found a house! It's ours!" Sam said excited.
"Sam this is wonderful!" He father replied, "What is it like?"
"Well its well within our price range. It needs some fixing up, that's why it a little cheaper, it has 5 bedrooms, and 3 bathrooms."
"Oh Sam, it sounds lovely indeed. When can we see it?" her mother asked.
"Well we will find out how soon we can move in tonight. Danny and I have to go sign the papers. We don't plan to "live" there until after we come back from our honeymoon."
"Did you and Danny decide where you are going?" Her father asked.
"Well…" she sighed, "We wanted to go to Italy, but after buying the house it's too expensive, so we honestly don't know if we can afford a honeymoon."
Little did Sam know, her parents already knew where they were honeymooning at.
Danny and Sam arrived at Michelle Flanagan's office at 5:59. They went inside and took their seats. About five minutes later they headed back to Michelle's office. After talking for about 15 minutes about procedures and legal stuff, Danny and Sam signed the papers. At 6:32 they officially owned the house. Michelle had said to them it would take about a month for the inspection to take place and then they could start moving in. Danny and Sam agreed they would move their furniture in but no themselves until after the wedding.
