Lifelong Relations

Chapter 10

"She's not doing it anymore." I frown. I poke my belly.

I feel one swift kick where my finger just was, but other than that, there's nothing.

Every time I touch my belly, she kicks.

Everyone knows I think it's a girl, but Spencer is completely convinced it's a boy.

It's not a boy. I just know it.

I touch my belly again.

She kicks my hand.

"Let's just keep looking. Once we find a house time is going to fly and then we won't have to feel him kick from your belly because he'll be peeing in our faces." Spencer says.

"Oh boy, I can't wait." I grumble.

"What about this one?" he says. He was looking at the screen while he was talking.

Sighing. I look at the screen.

We go through all of the photos and I actually don't hate it.

I can see us living in that house.

I check the price.

"I'm calling them." I say.

"Okay." Spencer says.

The baby kicks my belly button as I dial the number on the screen.

It rings four times.

"Hello?"

"Hi, are you the person selling the house on-" I pause and read the address off the screen. "3965 Running Bear Way, Antelope, CA 95843?"

"I'm sorry, where did you say it was?"

"Um, Antelope California."

He pauses. "I'm sorry, what website are you on?"

"Trulia."

"Huh." He says. "Yeah, I am the person selling the house, but it's actually located in Los Angeles."

"Oh." I say. "Can I call you back?"

"Of course." He says.

I hang up.

"It's a screw up. It's not in Antelope. It's in Los Angeles."

"Oh." He says. "I guess we should keep looking."

"But I like that house." I pout.

"But I thought we were moving to Antelope?" he says.

"But I want that house." I pout.

"Sweetie, I don't know a thing about Los Angeles."

"We're with you wherever you guys choose." Uncle Albert says.

"I lived in L.A. for almost five years." I remind him patiently. "And it's closer to Malibu."

"And it's good for-" he cuts off. "Let's do it."

"Wait, it's good for what?" he asks.

"That's something we can discuss on a later date." He says.

"Okay." I call him back but I put it on speaker now.

"Hello?"

"Hi." I say. "We decided we don't care that it's in LA. We want the house."

"Alright, awesome. Are you nearby? You can view it if you'd like."

"Oh no, we're in South Carolina." Spencer says.

"Okay." He says.

We buy the house online and go through everything we need to on the phone with him.
