A few weeks, boxes and many tissues later. It was the last night in 704 Hauser. Archie already in his pajamas, made his way downstairs. The house was empty of all it's treasures. There were no animal knick knacks, no dinning room table, their thrones were no where to be seen either. All that was there was a lamp, a few boxes, a mattress on the floor, and the two owners of the house.
Stephanie was sleeping over at her friends house, and the Bunkers were suppose to sleep at the Heffner's, but Edith insisted that they spend their last night in New York in the place were they spent most of their nights. Unfortunately, they weren't able to spend the night in the bedroom, because they would be leaving in the morning and the easiest way was to sleep in the living room.
Archie was not a fan of this idea, because of how low the mattress was, but Edith could have cared less.
"Jeeze." Archie groaned as he walked over to the mattress slash bed, where Edith sat in her nightgown while looking through a large book. "I sure as hell am glad that place ain't got stairs. Walked them so many times today you'd think I was climbing Mount Ever-est." he told her as he laid down beside her.
Edith smiled at him and then went back to looking at the book, never saying a word. This made Archie suspicious and he raised a eyebrow before asking her a question.
"Whata you looking at?"
"Oh the family picture album."
Archie groaned as Edith went back to looking at the album.
"Jeeze tell me you're looking at it one more time 'fore you leave it here."
"Oh no Archie." Edith began, "I wouldn't give this up for a million dollars."
"Ah well." Archie said, "How about two million?"
Edith frowned.
"Still no good huh?"
"Nope. Oh my there's so many happy memories in this old house." She shared.
"Yeah." Archie agreed and then Edith went on to the memories.
"Like Joey's first steps, and all them dance youse and me had in here, and Sammy Davis Jr coming over."
"Yeah."
"And Mike and Gloria getting married here." She continued
"Let's stick with happy memories huh Edith?"
Edith shook her head and then continued to look through the album. "Oh look Archie, here's a picture from when we were still living in our apartment on Union street. It's of Gloria's first birthday." She told her husband while pointing at a picture in the book.
Archie sat up groaning as he did so, and then looked over at the album.
He smiled some, "What a dump."
He stated while Edith smiled a daydream smile, "Yeah. But it was our dump." She sighed, "Oh my we had a lot of memories in that place."
"Yeah." Archie agreed but in reality could care less, as he lay back down.
"Just like we have so many memories here." She said a bit sadly. There was a pause and then her smile reappeared as another thought entered her mind. "And I guess that means were gonna be alright over in California. Cause we left Union street and that had alotta memories, to Hauser Street and brought the memories with us. And now we're gonna take our memories from both streets, Union and Hauser over to California where we can make memories!"
Archie opened his eyes to see his wife smiling away, and he gave a smirk himself. "Yeah, you got a point there. Guess you ain't much of dingbat as I thought you was."
"Oh Archie." She said blushing as she put the book aside and then laid down herself.
"Hey Edith," Archie began it was his turn to share his idea.
"Yeah?"
"What do youse say we turn off the light and make one more memory for this here house?"
Edith look up at his confused, "What do you mean?"
"I mean…" he started, "You know." He said looking at her and winking
Then she figured it out.
"Ohhh!" she said classicly, "Oh Archie." She said smiling
Both shared a small laugh before sharing a kiss.
