Moving In
Adam's POV
I can't believe how fast time has been flying by. It seams like only yesterday that Julie and I moved into our apartment and now, today we are moving into our first house. The Ducks have all made it here too help us get things the way we want them. I don't know what we would do if we didn't have them. I couldn't imagine having to move all of this stuff by ourselves.
"So how are you and Julie doing?" Charlie asked me as we carried a couple of boxes into the house. "Are you still trying to have a baby?"
I smiled to myself. "Well," I started. "I guess you could say that."
"And what does that mean?" He asked me and I didn't want to tell him. Connie wanted to be the one to tell everyone at dinner the next night.
"Nothing. Don't worry about it. Julie and I still want a baby and we are doing what we can to get one." I told him trying not to give anything away.
"Fine man. Whatever you say." Charlie said as we entered the living room with the boxes. "Where do you want me to set this box?"
"I don't know." I answered setting my box on the floor. "What does it say is in it?"
Charlie glanced at the side of the box. "It doesn't say. All it says is bedroom."
"Then I guess it goes to the bedroom. It's probably some of Julie's things." I told him. "Just sit in the floor up there next to the bed."
"Alright man," Charlie headed upstairs as I headed back out to the moving truck that Julie and I had rented. Speaking of Julie I wonder where she is. Probably over at Connie and Guy's. I think I heard Connie mention something about getting drinks for everyone and needing some help. I grabbed another box and started heading in as a car pulled into the driveway. Two men got out and I had to smile as they came up to me.
"Sorry that we are late. There was a blizzard in Minneapolis." Orion explained himself to me.
"Yet, the other ducks from Minnesota made it here on time. In fact they made it here two days ago before the blizzard hit." I told him smiling.
"Well the others didn't have a high school hockey game to coach. By the time the game was over, all flights had been cancelled."
"So he called me and I had to drive from Chicago to pick him up and then drive back and catch a plane." Bombay explained.
"Why didn't you drive yourself to Chicago?" I asked, turning my attention back to Orion.
"My wife's car is in the shop. Therefore she had to use mine to take Becky to the doctor." Orion explained.
"He just wanted to be trouble." Bombay smiled and Orion and I knew he was kidding.
"How is Becky doing anyway?" I asked Orion about his daughter. During high school she had became like a sister to all of the Ducks.
"She's doing great. She's a junior now and the other day I got the worst news." Orion answered.
"What's that?" I asked.
He made a face that showed a mixture of worry, sadness, and distaste. "She told me she wants to go out on a date with a boy. Not only that, but she wants him to be her boyfriend as well."
I smiled at him as I shook my head. I suddenly hoped that Connie would be giving birth to mine and Julie's son instead of daughter. If Orion is that crazy over letting his little girl go, I can't imagine what it would be like for me. "I can only imagine." I told him as I patted him on the shoulder. "I'm sure it will be okay though. I'm sure he is a nice guy."
"So where is Julie? Is she feeling any better?" Bombay asked changing the subject.
"I think she and Connie are getting drinks for everyone." I answered. "And yeah, she is feeling better then she was the last time you were here." I started inside with my box "Just go ahead and start grabbing boxes out of the truck and bring them inside."
I walked into the living room with my box and I found all of the Ducks sitting around in the living room drinking sodas. Julie and Connie had returned and they were sitting in the center of everyone. I sat the box down and grabbed a soda off of the table and took a seat next to Julie. A few moments later Orion and Bombay made it into the house with their boxes. Julie and Connie instantly got up to hug them.
"It's nice to see you again." Julie stated.
"It's nice to see you guys again as well. We're just glad that we can be of some help." Orion answered as he hugged the girls back.
"Well Adam and I have something to say." Guy suddenly spoke up.
"Oh yeah," I said. "Guy, Connie, Julie and I are taking you guys out for dinner tomorrow night to show thanks for everything that you are doing."
"Not only that, but Connie and I have something that we would like to tell everyone." Guy finished as he held his young daughter in his arms.
"If you guys are finished with your drinks, I think we should get back to work. There are only a few more boxes and I would like to get this done so we can start unpacking all of this stuff." I told them as I took the last drink of my soda.
"Alright, we're going Slave Driver." Goldberg said as he and the rest of the Ducks headed back out to the truck. Guy handed the baby to Connie and he and I joined him. Luckily we were able to get the rest of the boxes into the house on that trip.
"Well it's all in the house, what now?" Russ asked.
"Well we divide up into rooms and unpack all of this stuff." I told them. "Alright, Bombay, Orion, and Charlie can start unpacking in here. Kenny and the Bash Brothers can take the bathroom. Averman, Russ and Dwayne can take the garage, Julie and Connie can take the baby into the bedroom and start unpacking. And Jesses, Luis, Guy, Goldberg and I will take the kitchen."
"Are you sure you want Goldberg in the kitchen?" Averman commented and I rolled my eyes at him.
"Yeah, he's a chef so he will know where everything goes." I told him and then we all went our separate ways.
I headed into the kitchen with my group and got to work. "Thanks for helping us guys. I don't know what we would do without you guys."
"No problem Cake Eater." Jesse told me as he opened the first box and we started putting things away in their places.
"Yeah," Luis agreed. "Besides, it's not like we have anything better to do."
I smiled as I joined them in working. "We should get together more often for reunions."
"I agree" Guy commented.
With all of the rooms split up it didn't take long to get everything unpacked and put in the right place. This was the easy part of their visit. The hard part would come at tomorrow nights dinner. I couldn't help but wonder how they would react to our announcement. They will be happy and supportive, right?
Please review and tell me what you think!
