Ashley's POV

"And this is the last guest room" Spencer gestured as Paula and Mr. C took a glance.

"Wow, this is a beautiful home, girls" Paula had her hands over her mouth, she was almost speechless.

"The view is awesome, right on the beach" Mr. C chimed in.

"It was a big selling feature for us, but it still has a fenced in area for Chelsea and Glen's kid when it pops out" I decided to add to the conversation.

We had purchased the house and got the keys yesterday. We wanted to show Paula and Mr. C before we started redecorating. I leave for New York in two days and we wanted to make sure we were able to show everyone together. We some how convinced everyone to come over and help paint while I was gone. I didn't like that I wouldn't be here, but I figured as long as I was her to help pick out furniture it would be ok. Spencer and I have been talking about colors since we decided to buy the house and we just had a few more decisions to make.

"Well I think this is awesome, there is enough room for all of us to come for the weekend and it's great for holidays". Glen shouted walking in from the deck.

"Is that all you do?" Spencer asked.

"What" Glen asked innocently.

"Think about parties." Spencer started to laugh.

"I didn't mean drunken parties, I meant get-togethers little sis." Glen shot back.

He had changed a lot, very mature. Chelsea brought it out in him. He was going to make a great dad.

"I knew what you meant Glen and you're right. Once we have it done we'll have everyone out for the weekend" What I use to hate in Glen, I loved now.

"Yeah, Aunt Ashley" Glen said giving me a high five. He's been doing that ever since they announced the pregnancy. I was no longer Ashley, I was Aunt Ashley and I have to be honest I didn't hate it.

"Oh god, who knew you two would become best friends" Spence said rolling her eyes.

"I think it's nice, honey" Paula chirped.

"Ok, well I think it's time we took off. We have to give Glen plenty of time to pick up Chelsea" Arthur said as we all made our way to the front door. "Thanks for showing us, I can't wait to get started on the painting and I can't wait for our first get together". He leaned in and gave each of us a hug and kiss. It was followed by Glen and Paula.

"Ashley, have fun in New York. We'll see you when you get back" Paula yelled out the window as the drove away.

I grabbed Spencer's hand and tugged her back inside. "Stay right here. Ill be right back" I left her standing in the living room. About 15 minute later I came back and she was no longer in the living room. I looked around and saw her on the deck looking out to the ocean. I walked outside I wrapped my arms around her from behind.

"It's just so beautiful" Spencer whispered.

"I know, I love it" I paused for a minute "Come on" she took my hand and followed me inside.

I took her into our bedroom and she let out a gasp. I had set up a temporary bed in the room and put out candles.

"I figured we should spend our first night in the house together before I left" I whispered in a low voice. I really didn't want to go to New York and leave her and all of this.

"I think it's a great idea" she leaned in a kissed me "You're such a romantic Ashley Davies".

I smiled into her lips "Only for you. Come on lets go order some take out, we can eat it on the beach". I took her hand and we went down into the kitchen to get the phone book.

________________________________________________________________________

We were down on the beach and the sun was getting ready to set. We had a blanket, take out, and a good bottle of wine.

"I could get use to this" Spencer was just staring out into the horizon.

"The smell and the sound of the waves is what does it for me. It's just so calming" I say setting the take out aside and scooting back behind Spencer. I pull her back so she leaning her back into my front.

"When you get back, were coming down and doing this a lot" I was more of a demand from Spencer.

"Or, I could just cancel New York and we could start doing this now" I plea one last time.

"Ashley, no matter what you say or do it is not going to change the fact that you're going to New York" Spencer had turned and looked Ashley in the eyes.

"Alright, alright" I say defeated. "I can't wait to get back. I'll have at least a week off and you'll still be out of school. We can get everything in that week and still have time for ourselves before we invite everyone out".

"I don't want you killing yourself looking at furniture while you're in New York, Ash" Spencer said in a concerned voice.

"How is exchange links on the internet killing myself, besides I'll make sure I get most of the work done the first week so when you come we can furniture shop downtown" I had thought about this.

"This is so exciting, I love this idea of decorating this house together.." Spencer started to say, but I had to interrupt her.

"Our house, Spencer, don't forget, our house" I had to correct her.

"I'm sorry our house" she said with a smirk.

"It's ok just don't forget" I say pulling her closer to me. We sit there for about another hour, we watch the sun set and the stars come out. It was just so beautiful.

"You wanna head to bed" I whisper in Spencer's ear.

I think she had already started to dose off "Yeah" she said in a sleepy tone.

"Tell you what, you head up Ill get all this stuff" I told her.

"Are you sure" she asked.

"Yeah, go I'll see you up there in a few minutes" I replied.

She leaned in and gave me a kiss and headed up towards the house. I just stood there and watched her. This was the beginning of the rest of my life and I couldn't be happier with what it looks like. I gather up all our stuff and headed in.

When I got upstairs Spencer was already in bed, trying her hardest to keep her eyes open. I stripped down, hit the lights, and crawled in next to her.

"Sorry I'm so tired, Ashley. I know you probably wanted to.."

"Stop, Spencer, just having you in my arms enough for me. Trust me, we have plenty of night to make love in this room" I kissed her temple.

"You're the best Ash. I love you" she said snuggling into me.

"I love you too" I said.

I laid there and watched her drift off to sleep in my arms in our new home. I'm pretty sure I'm the happiest person on earth right now; I don't think my life could get any better.

Man, I love this girl.
