Highschool Sweethearts - A Chris Evans Story

12 - Perfect house

*Chris pov*

Since we came back three weeks ago we've been pretty busy wedding and honeymoon organizing and house hunting.
While we're almost done for the wedding, house hunting is going a little slow, but we know it might take time finding the perfect house for us and our future family.

We've seen eight houses and the one we're looking at this morning it's the ninth, our realtor said that we're gonna fall in love with this one.
We're driving to the address right now and he's already waiting us there. It's pretty near the house we have right now so it doesn't change much for us about reaching the rest of our family or  Sofia's job.
"Here we are..." I say parking
We both get out and shake hands with Johnny, the realtor.
"I think this house has everything you're looking for..." he tells us
From the outside it looks beautiful, I can't wait to see what's inside.
"As you see it's a modern house but with a touch of rustic charm" he says referring to both outside and inside "it's been restructured last year before it went up for sale. We have an open space kitchen and living room, we've got big windows so there's a lot of light as you can see"
"It's nice" Sofia says
"Yeah"
"If we go right this way we'll find the pantry and the laundry room" he says showing us " then right over here there's a guest bedroom with en-suite bathroom and half a bathroom over there"

We then moved upstairs and he showed us the master bedroom and bathroom and the three other bedrooms, right now one is a study.
"From up here we can see the pool, the backyard also looks beautiful and it's spacious, perfect for kids to run around in" he says smiling "the garage you saw earlier fits perfectly two medium sized cars and there's still some space left for other things. I'll leave you alone for a few minutes to think about this" he told us before communicating to us the price once again
"Thanks Johnny"
"Can you picture us? Our kids playing outside, sleeping in these rooms?" I ask her
"Yeah, he was right...I fell in love with this house..." she says looking up at me searching for the same sparks in my eyes
"I did too...should we make this our home?"
"Yes"
"Ok then, let's go tell him"

Hand in hand we walked back downstairs and told Johnny we wanted to buy the house.
We signed a few papers and were giving another appointment with him in a couple of days to discuss a few more things then the house will officially be ours.

On our way back home she wanted to stop quickly at the store to grab a couple of things while I waited in the car.
Then once we reached home we got changed and since it was near dinner time we started thinking about what we wanted.
Sofia comes down the stairs and looks at me
"What is it baby?"
"I'm sorry I took this without you" she says showing me a pregnancy test"
"It's alright...did you look at it?"
"No...I'm scared..."
"Come here, let's look together..."
We flip it and the response is negative. I mean my head down slightly and kiss her shoulder a few times before she turns in my arms and rests her head against my chest
"I don't even know why I took it, I knew it was gonna be negative"
"It's alright baby, it's ok..." I whisper
I pick her up and lay on the couch and kiss her head
"I'll cook tonight, you stay here and relax a little"

While we knew the chances of getting pregnant the first month of medication were very slim, doesn't change the fact that seeing a negative pregnancy test feels like a stab in our hearts...
I focus on getting dinner ready and I end up doing something quick instead of what we thought about doing.
"Baby dinner is ready" I tell her, waking her up from her little nap
"Mhm...coming"
I serve the plates and she comes shortly after and sits in front of me
"Tastes good, thank you Chris"
"No problem sweetheart"

After dinner and cleaning up the kitchen I grab a little tub of ice cream and two spoons before joining her on the couch as she scrolls through channels
"What are we watching?"
"Don't know...documentary?"
"Sounds good to me" I say handing her a spoon and she turns to look at me
"Mhm nice..."
I chuckle a little before kissing her lips a few times and cuddling up as we watch tv.

It's hours later when I wake up on the couch alone
"Baby?"
"I'm here...let's go to bed..."
"Your medicine"
"Already done"
"You could have woken me up..."
"You were sleeping so peacefully and you were so cute I couldn't..."
"Staring a sleeping person uh..."
"You do that too, now come on let's go to bed"
I take her hand and get up, together we walk upstairs and after going to the bathroom I lay down and fell asleep with her safely tucked against my body.
