Two weeks had passed Brie and John were house hunting. They were looking at places in Florida. This was the fourth house they looked at the realtor had just gotten done showing them the house and was giving them a moment to themselves. Brie and John were in the kitchen.
"So, what do you think?" John asked.
"I think this is the one."
"You like it?"
"I love it." "Especially the nursery."
"Me to." "I can use the room down the hall for my office."
"So we're taking it?"
"Are you sure this is the one you want?"
"Yes."
"Ok let's go tell her we'll take it."
"Alright."
They went outside to where the realtor was.
"Mrs. Anderson." John said. "We'll take it."
"Terrific." The woman said.
"I can write you the check right now." John wrote out the check and gave it to her.
"Ok." "Just one more piece of business." "Please sign here, here and here." John signed the papers she handed him the keys. "Congratulations."
"Thank you." The realtor left. John turned to Brie. They hugged.
A week later they were moving in. Brie was carrying a small box into the house. John was coming down the stairs at the same time.
"Brie, baby what are you doing?" John asked worried.
"Carrying in this box."
"You're not supposed to carry anything heavy."
"John I'm pregnant not useless." "Besides it's not even that heavy." John took it from her.
"Not that heavy is heavy enough." He kissed her. "I wouldn't want the three of you to get hurt."
"We won't."
"I know I'm just making sure of it."
Later that night Brie and John were sitting on the couch.
"I'm so glad we bought this place." Brie said.
"What do you guys think?" He asked as he started to rub her stomach. "Do you like it?" They started to kick. "I'll take that as a yes." He stopped rubbing her stomach. "Brie we should talk about something."
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing." "You know I love you and the babies more then anything."
"Yeah."
"I want all of that the family and you." "There's still one thing I don't want."
"Which is?"
"I don't want to get married."
"Married?" "John we've only been together for a few weeks."
"I know but I'm saying my position on it stays the same." "I want you and the kids but not marriage."
"We don't have to get married." "We can not be married and still raise the kids." "I love you." "As long as I get to be with you that's all I care about."
"I love you too." They kissed.
