Chapter 18

One week later

"You bought us a house?" Sara exclaims.

"Well Kevin and I decided that we were buying this one and we thought it would be nice to live next door to you, Ethan, Meghan and Emily." Lucy says pointing to each house individually.

"I can't believe it." Sara says as tears spring to her eyes. Lucy and Sara hug. "Thank you Lucy." Sara says with sincerity.

"So Kevin when can we all move in?" Ethan asks. The women go off talking about what color to paint each room and where the furniture will go, while the guys talk about super bowl parties and how to not loose sanity with Lucy and Sara living next to each other.

Sycamore St. (The next day)

The little kids, Ruthie and Annie are all playing in the backyards while Eric, Kevin, Lucy, Ethan and Sara finish moving in and arranging the houses.

"Maggie! Emma!" Sara calls them inside, "Ethan and I want to show you your new rooms." Meghan and Emily go bounding up the stairs and stop at Emma's door first. She gently turns the handle and enters her new room.

"Mommy that's my name on the wall, and look I got dollies, and mommy I have a desk and that is a princess pillow! Wow mommy this is pretty!" She says bouncing around the room.

"Thank Reverend and Mrs. Camden for buying you some cool stuff."

Emily hops into Annie's arms and hugs Annie and Eric. "Thank you." She says just before bolting out the door to go see Maggie's room. "Look at your new sheets Maggie! Their Pooh Bear!"

Maggie runs over to Emma and takes on of her stuffed animals out of the new toy box. Maggie goes over to Annie and says, "Thank You." Emma and Maggie begin to play oblivious to anyone else in the room. Ethan wraps his arms around Sara's waist.

"I love you." He says.

"I love you." She replies as they watch the two girls play together.

Sara and Ethan's Room (Later that night)

" I never thought they would fall asleep." Sara says with a laugh. Ethan pulls Sara into a hug and notices she's crying.

"Why are you crying, love?" He asks.

"I just can't believe all this happened to me I'm so lucky to be with you and have the girls and this house. I'm overwhelmed with happiness. I just don't want to loose it." She confesses.

"You'll never loose any of this. Especially not me." Ethan says as he kisses her. "I love you."

"I love you." She says pulling him closer to her. "Don't let me go. Promise me you won't let me go ever. I think I found my happily ever after and I can't loose that."

"Never. I'll never let you go. I don't think it's possible." Ethan pulls Sara down on the bed with him.

"Let's stay right here forever. I know I'm safe in the arms of you." Sara says. Ethan only response it to pull her closer to him as they lay lost in thoughts of each other.
