TYLER'S POV:
I came to on Christmas Day morning as I heard Eden stirring and moved from the bed and over to her cot…
"Merry Christmas, baby girl." I greeted her as I lifted her from her cot
"Hey." Piper's voice spoke as I was about to leave the room
"Hey." I mirrored as I turned to her "Sorry, I didn't mean to wake you."
"I was awake," she informed me "and was considering getting out of bed."
I smiled at her warmly as she sat up and Eden held her arms out to her. Handing her to her, I sat on the edge of the bed, smiling warmly as I watched Eden play with Piper's hair…
"What?" she questioned
"Nothing." I replied
"There's something on your mind, what is it?" she inquired
"You get your surprise today." I informed her
"I do?" she asked, raising an eyebrow at me
I nodded my head… "I'm gonna get in the shower and then we can go."
"It's not here?" she questioned
I shook my head… "It's a bit too big to fit in here."
"Tyler," she sighed "I thought we weren't going overboard."
"Just shut up and get organised. I promise you, you're gonna love it." I informed her
PIPER'S POV:
Tyler kissed my lips chastely and left the room, blowing me a kiss over his shoulder as he left…
"What's Daddy got planned, hmm?" I asked, cuddling Eden
After getting her dressed and setting her back into her cot, I got myself dressed, Tyler making his way back into the room…
"I'm gonna go and get this one some breakfast before we leave." I informed him
He nodded his head… "I won't be long."
"Do I need to ask Paige and Mark to take her over to Dad and Lauren's with them or can I bring her with us?" I questioned
"It's already sorted." he replied
"Since when?" I asked
"Since I sorted it with Zoe; she and Aaron are going to watch her." he informed me
I nodded my head as I lifted Eden from her cot… "Okay."
"Okay." he mirrored
TYLER'S POV:
"Right, are you ready?" I asked Piper as I walked into the kitchen
"Do you two know what he's up to?" she questioned Zoe and Aaron as they stood in the kitchen
"Nope," Aaron replied "no idea, sorry."
"Okay." she sighed "No opening presents without us, got it?"
"Got it!" he assured us as I took Piper's hand in mine
"See you later." I called as we made our way out of the front door
PIPER'S POV:
Tyler and I walked away from Ramsay Street and onto Sherwood Drive, stopping outside a house a couple of minutes later…
"What are we…?" I began
"What do you think?" he asked, cutting me off mid-sentence
"It's nice." I replied "Why are you asking?"
"Because it's ours." he informed me
"What?" I questioned
He smiled at me warmly as I turned to him and pulled a set of keys from his pocket… "For you."
"Tyler, we can't afford this!" I proclaimed
"Our conversation a couple of weeks ago got me thinking," he explained "and you're right. We're too squashed at Mark's, and then I saw this place come on the market and talked to an estate agent and the bank about getting a mortgage. It's ours, Pipes…"
"Why didn't you talk to me about it beforehand?" I inquired
"Because I wanted it to be a surprise." he informed me
"Well it's that alright." I replied
"You're not happy?" he asked
"Do you also remember me saying that I didn't want you to be responsible for everything? That we're a team?" I questioned, raising an eyebrow at him
He nodded his head… "I thought you'd be happy."
"I am." I informed him
"You don't sound it." he replied
"Tyler," I sighed "it's not that I'm not happy, I am, but I just feel as though you've gone against what I wanted and done what I asked you not to, that's all. I know you did it with the best intentions, but are you sure you can afford it?"
He nodded his head… "I wouldn't have even considered it if I couldn't."
I smiled at him warmly… "Can we take a look?"
He reciprocated my smile and nodded his head, handing me the set of keys in his hand...
TYLER'S POV:
I followed Piper up the driveway as she unlocked the door and we made our way inside and shutting the door behind us, I wrapped my arms around her waist from behind, resting my hands on her burgeoning bump…
"You like it?" I asked
"I love it." she informed me
"Good." I replied "You want to see the backyard?"
She nodded her head and I took my hand in hers, leading her into the living room…
"Whoa!" she proclaimed "Eden's gonna love it!"
"Paige said the same thing." I replied
"Paige knew?" she questioned
I nodded my head… "Yeah."
"The little…" she began "She swore she knew nothing about it when I asked her!"
"She wouldn't have if she hadn't of gone on my laptop without asking." I informed her "Anyway, enough about Paige, you really like it?"
She nodded her head… "I love it, and I can't believe you've done something this amazing for me, for us, for our family."
"You mean the world to me, you, Eden, and this one," I admitted, placing my hand on her stomach "I'd do anything for you."
She smiled at me warmly and cupped the back of my head, pulling my lips to hers… "I love you."
"I love you too." I mirrored
So Piper's surprise was a house, which Tyler has bought! Whoa, hey?
