Save me

Welcome Home

I breath deeply, the sound of our children crying and screaming, I open my eyes, the doctor and Anthony cradle our baby boy and girl, their perfect!, bringing them home and up to their room, they are so precious, they go to sleep once they rest in their cribs, we come downstairs, I am starving!, I grab a container of Chinese food, a plate with foil wrapped over it, of nachos, 'you must be really hungry?' 'I just gave birth to 2 children, that were responsible for 7% of my weight, technically 14%, he smiles and comes over, 'no, my food' I say, he smiles, 'but I love nachos, and ... you said you didn't have any leftovers?' 'me, hungry' I say, and warm them up, he tries taking the food, 'make your own' I say, he takes the nachos, 'I hate you' 'you love me', he eats a chip after dipping it in some sauce, 'hate you', he kisses me, 'you love me' .... 'I do' I say.

First day back on construction, I had to bring the kids, I hold on of them in my arms, resting on my shoulder, I know how to look after kids, I sometimes volunteered time at a day-care and preschool, felt like something I needed experience in, I couldn't wait to get back inside, though this house is been under construction since I was almost 7 months pregnant, and now have been going on for 2 months, so much work, plan done, framing and everything, I like to keep everything in time with each other, but each house needs at least 6 months to be built, but considering 2 houses are being built at once, I am doing great timing, the guys liked seeing the kids, Anthony has our son, in the pram.

We named our children "Willow" and "Nathan", We get the walls painted, the lights put in, ceilings painted, the carpet I had a tarp go over it, so they don't ruin it before it gets seen, the house is being painted.

For the other house, similar, but no carpet and cabinets and granite comes in, while the other house has already happened.

. . . . . . .

Finally finishing this house, is amazing the house has 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, a lot of space, Anthony is helping me furnish the house, sure the other house needs some more work, but I found this house was more immediate, so we bring in the  furniture, I set each room, before giving a call to the "adoption family", that's what we've called them, they have been living in a apartment, the house took a total of 25 weeks, the pull up in a family van, 'wow?', I still need to furnish the next house, 'so?, what do you think?' I ask, the wife covers her mouth with both hands, 'it's beautiful' she says, they brought their 7 adopted children, they adopted another 1, but there is plenty of room to grow, I made the attic a sort of kids get away, there is  a door with a sort of twirled staircase, the ceiling isn't the high, about 5 feet tall, and it is curved, they tour around, we listen to the kids absolutely loving the house, they come out, '5 bedroom, 3 bathroom, beautiful backyard, garage, price ... $410,000' I say, ... 'we'll take it' the husband says, Anthony had to pop out, so when he found out I sold it already, I show him the details, and we discussed the price, I had the kids in the pram when they came by, time is flying by quickly here, Anthony also has another surprise, I lean in and whisper, 'I'm pregnant', he turns his head, and kisses me, my arms move around his neck, and I kiss him back, 'ready to go sell the house?' I ask, we put a matching mailbox for each house, there are street signs up, the road was complete first and the side walks, he calls a couple guys over, though I just lost a whole bunch of weight, late night sex and quickie's in the morning have come very popular, so once last minute touches, go over everything, I love that new place smell, this time Anthony will be there as the couple comes, they of course love it, their blended children love it, plenty of room 4 bedrooms 3 bathrooms, a room for each of them, and they paid $405,0000!, Anthony brings me back to our house, we rest the pram to the side, and he picks me up, he presses me against the wall, my pants came down first, he gets his dick out, and inside of me, the kids are quiet, I spent $192,000 on the first house and $183,000 on the second one, made a profit of $218,000 on the first house and $222,000 on the other, total earnings $440,000!.

I make dinner, Anthony comes back from the bar after giving the good news, I still have 5 other house designs, this next house I want a bit of a large space 2,000 square feet, cause I want to put a pool in, and it's going to be a 3 bedroom 2 and half bathroom house, but will be worth a whole lot more considering the pool, and I will be right over budget but considering how much money I've made for Anthony and the pack.

Anthony gets back, he honestly didn't want to get drunk, he wanted to be with his family, I made meatloaf and baked potato, 'hey?, what are you doing home so early?' I ask, surprised, he cups my face and kisses me, ... 'being with my family' he says, .... 'can't argue with that' I say and kiss him back, he holds my stomach, 'I love you' I say, 'and I love you, and our 2 and a half children', considering that I have half of someone growing inside of me, I smile, 'you hungry?, just about to dish dinner, I was going to put yours in the oven so it wouldn't get cold' I say, we recent actually added air vents to the second floor to the house, cause the house wasn't designed for it, but the top of the house is now my favourite place.

We sit at the table, the twins laying in a crib drinking their bottles, 'the pack and I were discussing doing 5 houses at once?' '... I've never worked that hard, and I couldn't hardly get it all done' 'I can take a couple days off of work a week, maybe 3, and finish a little earlier, and it'll be fine, but we need to get at least 10 more houses before tourist season comes' he says, 'what about the kids?' 'you know they love coming by the sites' 'did you know that Nathan grew his 1st baby tooth today?' I say, 'I know, we're missing out on quite a few things, but once this is all done, we will have all the time in the world, and the money to give them a perfect life' Anthony promises, 'okay' I say, I really hope he's right.
