So, I'm having a really really great week and wrote this and well, it's short, but it is an extra chap and now it's posted.
Enjoy!
Rachel walked into the open foyer and tried to get a feel for the space. It was the fifth apartment she'd seen today and she was tired. She knew that the place she wanted for them would just feel right. That she'd open the door and it would just be right. This wasn't the place. She sighed and turned towards the realtor, Sandra Jacobson, shaking her head.
"Rachel you haven't even seen this place yet, give it a chance." Michelle quipped leaning against the doorframe.
"I already know, it doesn't feel right and if it doesn't feel right then it's not." Rachel looked back at the director, the woman had been kind enough in the past few weeks to accompany her as she looked at rentals, she'd even introduced her to Sandra, saying she was one of the best agents in New York. Rachel was frankly grateful. She had friends in the city, but they were all too busy to go with her. She would have asked Brittany, but sweet as the blonde was she couldn't keep secrets from her best friend and Rachel didn't want to put her in the position to have to try. She wanted to surprise Santana and Mateo by already having a place for them picked out, sure it made her nervous. What if it was too soon? It was one thing for them too stay together in Lima they were suppose to be affianced, but in New York it was essentially reality and in reality they had only been dating for a few months. It felt so much like U-Hauling, but also (and prevailingly) like the right thing for them.
Michelle sighed and looked over at Sandra shrugging her shoulders. "If she says it's not the place I guess it isn't."
"I've got one more place left to show you today." Sandra exhaled deeply and ushered out of the apartment.
"Thank you, Mrs. Jacobson for putting up with me I know that I may seem crazy and demanding, but I just want things to be as perfect as possible. I want Matt and San to love this place...it's going to be our first place." Rachel smiled dreamily thinking of the three of them together again, their family.
"God, let me guess, daydreaming about your girlfriend?" Michelle smirked as Sandra pushed them into a cab and slid in beside them.
Rachel blushed. "I wish she was here. I mean no offense, Michelle I am very thankful that you would take the time to help me, but..."
"...but I'm not Santana, I get it."
"Well ladies, here we are." Sandra interrupted their conversation throwing the cab door open.
Rachel leaned out of the door and looked up at the row home grinning, she liked this place already.
"Well, you're not gonna get a true feel for this place unless you actually get out the car." Michelle had already gotten out and come around to her side.
"Okay, Rachel, this is a four bedroom, three bath row home. As you can see we're well outside Manhattan, but with grand views and a lower price tag. There's a few parks near here and the schools are rated excellently. What do you think?" Sandra asked leading the pair up the four stone steps.
"I like it, how's the neighborhood?"
"Great, lots of new families, very lgbt friendly." Sandra popped open the door and allowed Rachel and Michelle to precede her.
"This is it." Rachel beamed after a moment of silence her eyes darting from the bay window to the breakfast bar to the huge skylight.
"This is it, Michelle!" Rachel screamed bouncing up and down.
"Don't you think you should see the rest of it?"
"No...remember the feeling? I feel it, this is it."
"Well, humor me and take a quick peek around before you move in." Michelle pushed her lightly forward.
I think there's like 2-3 chaps and a epilogue left. And don't worry much about Michelle...
