A/N: Ok here's the next one and like I promised it's longer. Plus whenever I mention what people are wearing you can go to my profile and see the like to the outfit by person and chapter.
SPOV
We walked into the fourth house that we were seeing for the day, and hopefully the last. We had walked through so many they were beginning to look the same. Jesse held my hand as we walked in the door, into the newly built two story, four bedroom, three and a half bath house.
As soon as I walked in the door I knew it was for us. The layout with the large kitchen, family room, game room (in addition to the four bedrooms), and master bedroom and bath was perfect. There was a lot of windows, and light coming into every room. The decorations that were on the walls and molding were discrete but beautiful. And best of all it was new so that meant no ghosts.
As Jesse and I were driving home we got to talking.
"Jesse, that last house was perfect and cheaper than the other ones that were smaller. It's perfect. Please!"
He gave me a look, but I couldn't tell what it meant. I kept looking at him with begging in my eyes.
"I guess that that would be a very good house for us, and it was on the lower side of our budget. So I say yes, let's put a bid on it."
I picked up my cell phone right there in the car, and called the real estate agent. She answered on the first ring.
"Hi, this is Mrs. De Silva, we were hoping to put a bid on that last house we just looked at."
"Wow that was sudden, and as far as I know there is no one else interested in the house, but I will call you back tomorrow and work out the details."
I hung up with her, and hugged Jesse. We drove home and put out bags by the door. We were leaving very early in the morning for my mom's. It was Thursday today, and we were both playing hooky from our jobs tomorrow. But tonight, we were going to dinner together to celebrate.
I went up and I got dressed in a black v-neck with one inch thick straps. There was a bow right under the bust. The dress flowed in a little wave to my knees, and it had little silver flowers all over it. I put on some four inch black pumps, fixed my make-up, hair, and walked into the living room of our relatively small apartment.
When Jesse saw me he did a low little whistle, so I spun around in a circle.
"Susannah, you look absolutely amazing in that outfit. Promise me that you will wear it again, and again, and again."
I smiled coyly and shrugged my shoulders. We went out to the car and drove to the restaurant. It was the place that Jesse had proposed. We were on a trip up here even though we had still lived in California at the time. I had had no clue that it was coming, but when he asked me there was nothing to say but yes.
I don't know how Jesse did it, maybe by tipping the host; he got the same table that we sat at when he proposed. It was all so sweet. And when the main courses came, they were the same meals we had those two and a half years ago.
"Jesse this is completely amazing, I don't know how you did it but I really appreciate it. I am so happy that we are having a baby. I was thinking, that maybe we could start thinking about some names. One for a girl and one for a boy. O and another thing, I kind of don't want to know the sex of the baby, like keep it a surprise."
"I completely agree with you on the surprise front, that's how they did it in the 1800's why change it now. We can choose neutral colors for the nursery, like yellow or green. On the name front, whatever you want is fine with me as long as it isn't an inanimate object. That drives me up the wall, why would you want to name your kid after an apple, or blanket, that's so weird? And I don't know if I've told you this, but I would want no one else carrying my child, ever, so thank you for that."
"No problem," I said nonchalantly. "I actually have a name incase it's a little girl. Taylor Anne. I don't know what to name it if it's a boy, but I was thinking that it could take your name. If you don't want that though we can most definitely come up with another name. O and I was thinking that we could paint the nursery both green and yellow."
We talked about colors and ideas for the room for the rest of the night, just loving the moments we were spending together. The food was amazing, and I ate more than he did for once, though I wasn't too proud of it.
After dinner it was still early in the evening, so we stopped by the baby furniture store, just to see what they had. As we were walking in the door my cell phone began to ring.
"Hello?" I said.
"Hi, Mrs. De Silva, I just wanted to let you know that the owner accepted the bid you put on the house, and tomorrow if you will come to my office, I will have the papers ready to close."
Before she was even through I was jumping up and down for joy and Jesse was worried about me, worried that I would hurt myself or the baby by my violent leaps into the air. I told Jesse and he was very happy too.
"Everything is falling into place for us," I said we hugged for another minute.
