"I saw one I lived but we couldn't afford it. Now we can I've booked a viewing for after work tomorrow. Ria is going to collect Ezmaya" I was so happy.

We sorted Ezmaya for bed and got ready for bed ourselves.

While Jaxon was In the shower I couldn't resist putting on my sexy red outfit. It hardly fitted around my growing bump but I knew he would still love it.

I wasn't wrong, his face lit up when he got out of the shower. He dropped his towel and come over to me, started undressing me and kissing my neck; today is a good day I thought to myself as we fell to the bed.

The next morning I woke up feeling amazing. I was finally going to be able to get my house.. of course I had to wait for the money to clear in my account first but we could still look.

I had a shower and got my work uniform on, then I woke Jaxon and Ezmaya, Jaxon had a shower and got dressed while I took Ezmaya downstairs and feed her.

Work dragged that day. I just wanted to go home and look at this house. I was going to fake sick so I could get off work but I decided there was no point as I would still have to wait for Jaxon to finish.
Work would help the day go by faster so I stayed.

After work I drove to jaxons work and text him.

Sofia; outside baby xxx

I had dropped him to work that morning, thought it would be easier since we would be going to view the house together.

We got to the house and the estate agent was waiting outside for us, we got out of the car and said our hellos.
She introduced herself as Maria, she took us inside and told us some back ground about the house, Then told us we could go and explore ourselves and to shout her if we needed her.

So Jaxon and I headed off.
We looked in the living room, it had a fire place and a bay window. It was beautiful

Jaxon looked around. "I really like it babe"

"I can just see Ez and baby Noah playing in here." I grinned.

"And the Christmas tree over there." He pointed to the corner.

We headed upstairs and looked at the master bedroom with an en-suite.

"So this would be our room.." I looked at Jaxon

"our own bathroom too, because when Ezmaya is bigger she's going to be taking over the bathroom." He finished my sentence for me and grinned

We both laughed.

We looked at the next bedroom

"This would be Noah's room as its close to ours." I looked around it.

Jaxon nodded. "I could do so much in here, get him a train set and build him a nice bed."

We went to look at what would Ezmaya's room

Jaxon already had ideas for our princess "this is perfect for our little lady, a 4 poster bed and a big doll house"

I laughed. "you will give her a princess complex"

Jaxon shrugged. "Well she is our princess."

There was another bedroom, that would be for Aimee and Harvey to stay over; or Lucy smit and baby Becca.

I missed Freya so much, I wanted to say it would be her room, Ezra too and then I remembered they were gone and never coming back. I teared up but Jaxon gave me a cuddle. As if he knew what I was thinking he said "they will always be with us"

We headed downstairs and Maria smiled at us "so what do you think?"

Jaxon grinned "I think this is home."

Maria was happy. "that's amazing news when is the little one due?" She asked.

Jaxon frowned. "What are you taking about?"

Maria's face dropped and I just laughed.
"Jaxon stop it, and not for a few months."

Maria looked pissed at Jaxon, I didn't blame her. "is it your first?"

Jaxon shook his head "he is our second we have a 2 year old."

Maria smiled "well the garden has a kennel if your kids want a dog."

"Oh my gosh I want a dog!" I grinned.

Jaxon rolled his eyes. "thanks for that."

We all laughed. We talked it over and she gave us her card. We headed back to the car "I love it I really want it" I said to Jaxon.

Jaxon frowned. "A dog too?"

"Well a real family had a dog." I smiled at him.

Jaxon nodded "anything you want sweetheart."

"what breed do you prefer?" I asked. We had never spoke about dogs before.

Jaxon thought for a minute. "I want a chocolate lab"

"Oh wow me too baby."

He smiled and kissed me. We headed home.

I was so happy, my husband and I were talking about our future. For the first time since we met we had the money to be a real family, to have a real family home. Our future was bright for the first time ever.

I couldn't wait to get our little family into our forever home and just live in the moment.
Freya and Ezra would be deeply missed for ever but this was about looking to the future.

I text Lucy, she was my new best friend since not having Freya around. She understood me. I loved Ria but she didn't get me in the way Lucy did.

Sofia; just viewed a house and I'm in love! Xx

Lucy; oh my gosh I want picture. Xxx

I sent over some pictures of the house and she text back

Lucy; it's gorgeous. Where is it xx

Sofia; just around the corner from you xx

Lucy; that's amazing I can't wait to have you guys closer xx

Sofia; me too but I will miss Ria and Katie and Cole like crazy Xx

Lucy; I'm a shrink hun, I can talk them into moving closer. Xx

Sofia; that would be perfect! Xx

I didn't want to be too far for Ria, she had saved my daughters life twice now. She was definitely someone I needed around. But I wouldn't make her move just to keep her close to us, she had to do what was best for her and her family.

But if it came up in conversation that wouldn't be a bad thing either...
