After driving through the mid-afternoon into the night they had made it to Kansas just as exhaustion was catching up to them a bit they were determined to get to Cherokee County which would lead them to Roseland. Jana couldn't sleep or sit still the whole way there knowing that she was almost to her destination Angel kept smiling at her trying to calm Jana down some but she just wasn't able to contain the excitement.

Angel drove the last stretch into their new neighborhood as they saw their new house coming into view. Jana literally was all over her seat with excitement seeing the cute two story house with two bedrooms, two bath dollhouses that they had found online for a reasonable price. It is in need of some painting, flower beds along the house, a fence for the backyard for the cute dogs they have planned to adopt, and just many more plans to make the home look amazing.

Angel had just parked the truck in their new driveway as Jana jumped out the door and literally just grinned from ear to ear as she gave Angel a quick kiss on the cheek saying,

"I am going to my parent's house. A few doors down to let them know we have arrived, oh my goodness this is exciting."

Angel just let Jana go to her parent's as she watched the love of her life beamed with excitement to be back in her home state even though Angel was with pure exhaustion and knew the truck had to be returned by that afternoon but she needed rest, so she went to the door unlocked it letting herself in as she sighed knowing that there is no air conditioning or anything yet since they just shut everything off at the apartment. As soon as she explored the house since all they saw were the picture's from the Realtor she wanted to admire the home in her own way, she heard Jana calling her.

Angel walked towards the front yard again seeing Jana with her parents. This made her sweat because they knew about her but nothing more. As she walked toward them Jana pulled her along a little faster as she reached them, she stopped mid-way from causing Jana to crash into them. Jana led the introduction and turns out her mother Mary Johnson and her father Gabriel Johnson are very sweet and accepting.

They have given Angel a welcoming hug with kissing her cheeks after talking for a few Angel let out another frustrated sigh not meaning to in front of Jana's parents but they can see the struggle as Gabriel asked,

"What's wrong, Angel?"

Angel looked over at the truck then back at Gabriel replying,

"I have to have the truck back to the U-Haul by this afternoon and we still need rest and to unpack everything, I am so exhausted from driving I can barely function."

Gabriel patted Angel on the back responding,

"Give me the keys, Maw, take the girls back to the house to let them rest, I am going to contact a few neighbors to help get the girls settled in. See you all in a few hours or so."

Angel handed over the keys to the truck and house as they went back with Mary to their house to rest for a while. Jana ended up staying up a little while longer catching up with her mom.

After sleeping several hours Angel woke up refreshed and ready to go as soon as she heard everyone in the kitchen talking Angel got dressed and headed downstairs to see that sure enough Jana and her parents were talking. Jana's parent's nodded to Jana to turn around as soon as she did Jana ran up to Angel giving her a hug and kiss on the lips than releasing saying,

"You look beautiful as ever when you finally sleep. I haven't slept all day, I'm on super excitement mode today since we got here and dad got our house set up plus turned on everything in his name so we don't have to pay for much except renting and get our pets soon after we set the plants in the front yard a get the fence up which dad is helping with too."

Angel just smiled as she replied,

"Jana, baby, okay slow down, I need coffee and we will go over everything that needs to be done."

Jana was bouncy non-stop as she knew that if Jana didn't get sleep soon they would be having more trouble as Angel got her coffee she looked at Mr. and Mrs. Johnson with a smile as they looked at her with a smile too than said,

"Thank you for letting me catch some sleep. It was much needed as for Jana I'm starting to wonder if she'll slow down from excitement."

Gabriel and Mary laughed as Mary placed her hand on Angel's squeezing it gently replying,

"She will before you know it, luckily your house is ready to go for the both of you. As a way to calm her down with some warm tea and milk, it will settle her."

Angel nodded as she finished her coffee than placing it in the sink as she saw Jana ready to go by the door saying,

"Come on babe, let's go to our new home, I can't wait to see how daddy sets our house up."

Angel laughed as she responded,

"Yes, my dear, let's go home."

They walked out of Johnson's home hand in hand down the street to their new home seeing that it is nice to have Jana's parent's close wasn't a bad thing since Angel lost her grandma several years ago and she needed a support system rebuilt. As they got near the house Jana stopped Angel whispering,

"I know I promised us that we wouldn't make out in public and such but for some odd reason I have the urge too, I know neighbors are already onlookers with us here in their city it's just an urge to prove the world you are mine."

Angel placed a finger on Jana's lips whispering back,

"We've already kissed in public many times since we got together, you are wanting to make it official to the world even though you don't need to in any sort of way. Right now, I recommend getting you to bed to sleep, now which floor is our bedroom top or bottom?"

Jana lowered her head and whispered,

"We are on the top floor, our library is in the spare bedroom for now until we can make arrangements for the basement to be a library."

Angel guided Jana into the house closing the door behind them as she placed Jana in the upstairs bedroom watching as she changed into pajamas and getting comfortable as Jana spoke softly again,

"My sweet love, can I have some warm tea with milk? Mom always made that for me to relax my mind from excitement or whatever went on that day."

Angel kissed Jana's forehead replying,

"Of course, I will be right back."

As Angel went downstairs she made her way to the newly refurbished kitchen it was a soft baby pink with a tint of blue it stood out amazingly and so she brewed some tea up from the coffee pot than as soon as it was done she splashed a bit of milk into it than went back upstairs to their bedroom placing the warm tea by Jana as she saw that Jana had fallen fast asleep and she watched for a little while then headed downstairs to watch a movie on their television in peace until she fell asleep herself.
