I was working on the plans for our new home when my favorite person in the world arrived home from work. I smiled and greeted him "Hello Carlisle dear."
"Hello honey." He came and kissed me softly.
"Would you like to help me with the new home? I have the living room, kids' rooms, kitchen, and bits of our bedroom done but there's still a lot left to create."
"It would be my pleasure to help you mi love. Why don't you tell me about the house so far?"
"Well on the first floor there's our new living room, kitchen, dining room, den, a game room for Emmett and Jasper, a music room for Edward and Rosalie, and art room for Alice and I, your study, and about four bathrooms. On the second floor there's a big study/library, our bedroom, a room for Emmett and a room for Rosalie for shows, and two guest rooms. The third floor is Edward's room, Alice and Jasper's room, Rosalie and Emmett's room, a home theater, and two guest rooms. The garage is for five cars, I have a garden, and there's a basement for anything we want with us but we can't seem to find a place for."
"It sounds like you're done."
"The floor plan is done, the decorating and furniture layout, not so much."
"When will the house be ready?"
"Well, with the builders we have hired, probably about three months. I thought we could get a rental house until our house is finished."
"Sounds good, have you looked into it?"
"Yeah, there's one in a nice gated community that will hold us all. It's not like it's permanent or anything."
"The kids won't like having to act human at home."
"They'll manage."
"My last day at work is tomorrow. We should go ahead and pack up so we can leave late tomorrow night. Are things settled with the rental house?"
"Yes, all we have to do is drop by the real-estate office and pick up the keys."
"I'm going to go tell the kids to pack."
"I love you."
"I love you too."
He kissed me again and walked out of the house. I was going to miss our house in Forks but if we wanted to move back sometime in the next few decades we had to get going before the younger generation had the memory to remember us when they are adults. I like the house we are building in Tennessee. The town we are moving to is small, and surrounded by woods so even on sunny days we wouldn't be revealed. Rosalie wasn't happy about starting high school again but she will do it anyway. None of the kids really like school but they tolerate it for the sake of the family. I was excited to get a fresh start. I looked at the clock and sighed when it said 8:30. Even with our vampire speed, getting everything packed and ready by tomorrow night would be a challenge. I ran to help my family pack.
The next evening
Carlisle would be home soon. The kids were getting one last "good use" of their bedrooms. Edward was out hunting. I heard Carlisle's car pull up and ran outside to greet him. He picked me up and twirled me in a hug. I giggled. "How was the last day at work?"
"It was good. I missed you like always."
"Are you ready to go?"
"Yes. Is everything packed?"
