Chapter 43

*Madison's POV**5 1/2 months later*

"Hand me that box, love?" I asked, standing at the end of the u-haul truck.

Austin nodded and handed me a big box labeled "kitchen". I picked it up and pointed to the box by his feet. "Grab that one."

He picked it up and followed me to the lawn of our new home. I looked up at our new house and smiled. It was beautiful. It was a big Victorian house, painted yellow with white trim. It was my dream house. We had the white picket fence and the beautiful garden with rose bushes and big old willow tree out front.

Zachary sat on the large wrap around porch, on the steps, with Oliver at his side. He smiled at me and stood up. "Need me to open the door?"

I nodded and Austin and I walked into the house. I followed him to the kitchen and set the box on the counter. Zachary followed us inside, with Oliver right at his heels. He went straight past us and went out the back door.

I looked at Austin and smiled. "Look at this house, baby." I went over to him leaned against the island. "I'm so in love."

He pulled his shirt off and wiped the sweat off his face. "With me or with the house?"

I grinned. "With this house." I looked around. "Now, we have two weeks till the big day so I wanna be unpacked so we won't have to deal with it when we get back from our honeymoon."

He smiled really big. "Can you believe we're getting married in two weeks?"

I smiled. "I can't wait. I'm a little stressed out but I'm so excited."

He motioned to me. "Well don't stress too much. I don't want you corrupting that bun in the oven."

My hands went to my belly. About 2 months ago we found out we were expecting a baby. A bouncing baby girl. "Shut up." I said, playfully smacking his arm. "If anyone's gonna corrupt her it's gonna be you." I pulled my shirt up to expose my huge belly. "Isn't that right, Lia?"

Austin put his big hand on my belly. "No way. Mommy's the bad influence."

She kicked and I smiled. "See? She's trying to kick you because she doesn't agree."

Austin chuckled and kissed me. "Come on. Let's go unpack some more stuff. The guys will be here in a few to help."

He started to walk away and I grabbed his arm, pulling his back to me. He looked at me and I smiled. "Baby, we did it. We made it."

He smiled and kissed the top of my head. "10 years later. We did it."

I wrapped my arms around him as best as I could. "I love you, Awesome Austin."

"I love you, Mad Mads."
