Chapter 23

Alex's POV


Today Bruce and I dropped Thomas off at Harley and Bens but kept Hazel with us. Yes. Today we are getting the new house! We had sorted everything so it was perfect. The house was a simple structure 6 bedroom with 3 rooms with ensuite and the remaining 3 with nothing. The back garden has a pool but concrete floor and the rest filled with grass, when Bruce and I first looked we knew this was the one so we found the kids rooms and designed them again and redecorated our room and then helped Alfred with his. We decided to change Thomas' and make it a bit more grown up whereas we changed Hazels colours but not by much. Bruce and I went with a Black and White theme for our room as did Alfred but his grey and white. "Bruce it's Thomas' birthday next week. Should we throw a party or not and wait a couple more years?" I spoke whilst moving around utensils in the kitchen "wait a few more years" he replied, glancing at Hazel I noticed Bruce had placed a fan in front of her car seat incase it became to warm for her. She stirred a tiny bit and then snuggled down with her little purple bear, I shrugged and continued working on the kitchen. "I'm done at last" we had managed to sort the bottom of the house out and it's just hit 2:40 in the afternoon! "Now let's move on to upstairs" I rushed upstairs and started assembling Hazels cot together whilst Bruce assembled Thomas' adjustable cot with easy access sides. We agreed to get cots that can turn into beds when the kids get older, we assembled chest of drawers and placed the basics in them, Bruce had started putting Thomas' toys in the right places whilst I worked on Hazels. We then moved onto our room which was fairly easy considering we got people to help assemble the new bed and the walk in wardrobe was a nice touch.


I strolled into the kitchen to start dinner "go get Thomas from Harley's would you?" He kissed my neck and then grabbed his car keys going to collect Alfred and Thomas. I started boiling the pasta just as the guys walked through the door "hello welcome to the new house!" I smirked and Alfred nodded "looks good might explore more after tea though very hungry" he commented and I started dishing the cheesy pasta up. I placed Thomas in his high chair and put a bowl of food on the desk attached. Hazel was in her Moses basket in the living room whilst Alfred,Bruce and I were at the table, I was eating and feeding Thomas his food whilst Bruce watched "should we get some pictures done for the house?" He asked and I gasped "yes that would be adorable!" I laughed and looked around the room. One above the sofa,the fireplace,in the hallways before the foyer,up the staircase and around the halls but having one of us all in our room. "perfect children" I heard Bruce mumble. "When should we get them done next week because Thomas' birthday is next week that's his present"


Well after a long day we finally climbed into beds and cots and finally fell asleep. But that's not how it went in afraid because I was woken up at 3:45 in the bloody morning because Hazel needed her feed. "Ergh seriously!" I rolled out of bed and into her room "sshh mommy is here now. Sshh" I rocked her back and fourth until she had fallen asleep again. Which didn't take long. "Sweet Dreams Pickle". I got my Pumpkin and my Pickle.
