My Version of Burned
Chapter 14
Stark's POV

"And this is the last room." The estate agent told me kindly, opening the wooden door so that I could step inside.

Wow...

I hated to say it but Aphrodite really did have good taste in houses.

"And what's this room usually used for, Mrs...?" I asked the estate agent curiously.

"No Mrs, Just call me Annabel please," She smiled at me, "And this room is usually a nursery for children aged newborn to three years old."

A nursery...

It was still unreal to me that Zoey was pregnant. She was at her check-up right this second and if my counting was correct (which it probably was), Zoey was four months, two weeks and six days pregnant.

Everyday Zoey gets more and more tense about him coming back, but I manage to sooth her as best as I can.

At the present moment, I was looking through Aphrodite recommended houses for the future; mine and Zoey's future. When she showed me photos of the houses, my eyes instantly went to the price at the top of the sheet. I told her that I couldn't afford even half of the price of the cheapest one and all she told me was that it was her engagement present for me, us. Well, future engagement present.

Yes, I was going to propose to Zoey, and call me cocky or whatnot but I had a major feeling she was going to say yes.

So after tonight, hopefully, I would have a beautiful fiancée, an amazing home and I would know the sex of Zoey's and my future baby.

"Um, excuse me sir?" Annabel uncomfortably waved her hand in front of my face, "I don't want to bother you but we do need to get going if you want to see the rest of the houses..."

"No thank you," I told her confused looking face, "This one is perfect." A bigger smile than before lighted up her features. It was probably the most expensive house of the lot- no surprise that it was so nice.

"Brilliant! You just need to sign your name here and the house is yours." She told me, handing over a piece of paper. I quickly signed my name on it and handed it back to her. I watched as her eyes widened in surprise.

"You're James Stark?" She stuttered, looking at me nervously. I had assumed that she already knew but goddess, I hated it when people did that. Yes, I had a major gift with a bow and arrow and yes, I was officially dating the most powerful High Priestess of Nyx.

"Yes." I told her, forcing a smile as I walked stiffly out of the nursery door. She noted that I was uncomfortable with the whole subject therefore she started walking out to the front door before speaking quietly.

"Well, it's nice to meet you James, and I hope you enjoy your new home." And then with those last words, she took off quickly.

Even though I didn't really have any experience in the whole nice homes thing, I still thought that this house was beautiful.

Zoey was more beautiful though.

I was so lucky.


A/N: I know it's a really short chapter but I think that I have said earlier on in one of my A/Ns that I don't want to do dual POV's in 1 chapter and this chapter was originally Stark and Zoey POVed so that's why it's so short and that's why the next chapter will be so short as well. Love you guys!
